For the movies, to be shown by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America, will convince Mr. and Mrs. Duffer that not even their pro knows everything about the royal and an- cient game, and that, in three start- ling instances, they were wrong. As a group of well known Chicago pros watched the pre-review of the slow movies in the ante room of the P. G. A, there were expressions of astonishment and chagrin, “Well, I'll be a baked golf ball,” mused Alec Pirie of Chicago, former president of the P. G. A, and well known teacher of golf since 1898, “Did you see what I saw? Why neither Bobby nor Miss Wethered broke their wrists on the back swing until the club head has traveled approxi- mately one-third of the way. Hesitate in Swing And did you notice how Bobby hesi- tates at the top of his swing to shift his body and get planted before he brings the club head back again? And did you notice that neither Miss Wethered or Bobby broke their wrists at the point of impact with the ball as most of us have been teaching for all these years? Well, I'll de dog- goned: Let’s take another look at them.” But another view of the pictures, exactly 200 times slower than the slow movies seen in the average cinema house, only succeeded in further con- vincing the pros that either they had been wrong or else Miss Wethered, classed as probably the greatest of all women golfers, or Bobby, emperor of the men divot diggers, were unortho- dox players. But the pros admitted the strong possibilities that they were wrong. The most startling revelation gained from the pictures was their action at the top of the swing. The commonly accepted style was that the first action at the top of the swing .|was made with the hands, thcir left heel firmly to the ground, thus an early pivot and fixing a fulcrum, which combines to give great power and the finest timing. The switch eliminates any appreciable sway and, in the words of Pirie, “makes them sock it a mile.” Jones’ shift is far more noticeable than Miss Weth- ered’s, the pictures revealed. Wrists Should Break For years, golf teachers have been instructing pupils that the -vrists should break almost the same time the club head leaves the ground on the backward swing. Not so with T | Bobby and Joyce. Bobby brings his club back almost horizontal with the ground before even the slightest break is noted in his wrists. Miss ‘Wethered brings her club almost two- fifths of the way back without a wrist break. The third —“Unorthodox” style of the two champions is at the impact of the ball. “Snap your wrists when the club head connects with the ball,” the pros have taught with stentorian voices. But Bobby and Joyce go through steadily without a break. Not until their follow through is almost hori- zontal again with the ground is a break noticeable. ‘The P. G, A. took the films at a cost of nearly $10,000 and will exhibit them this summer. Meanwhile golf Pros have time to study them. U. S. Tennis Ace Defeats Borotra duffers how and when not to swing | San Antonio, Tex., March 24.—(?)}— ‘There is real concern among Man- ager Donie Bush and all the Chicago White Sox over the condition or lack of condition of Tommy Thomas’ Pitching arm. ‘Thomas suffered with a kink in the arm last season and won few games, after having been a winner in 1929. He reported this spring with the news that the arm was okey, but none of his performances to date indicate he is any better than last season.

While Simmons takes the mineral baths as a remedy for rheuma- tism, he finds time to make friends with the youngsters, who daily flock to the training field as soon as school is out. Virgil Sanders, 13, in the lower photo with Al, says “Gee, he's a great guy and I wish I could play like he can.” And “Smudge,” the boy with the deep sunburn in the upper picture, concurs in young Sanders’ opinion. | WITH MAJOR LEAGUERS | Havana.—William Watson (Lefty) Clark, who does a lot of high-powered Pitching for the Brooklyn Robins, is all even with the mayor of Havana, Senor Tirso Mesa. CAPTAIN-ELECT OF [Aisne] NODAKS 1 OE OF FLASHIEST IN ND, Adds Color to Drought Relief Charity Cage Game Here Thursday Night CAPACITY CROWD EXPECTED Aggie Squad Will Come Here Prepared For One Of Its Toughest Battles | Basketball fans of the Missouri Slope country will have an opportun- ity to see the flashiest basketeers in the state in action Thursday night in the North Dakota Agricultural Col- lege-Bismarck Phantom game here, according to N. O. Churchill, Phan- tom manager. ‘The star who will scintillate in the game which is planned as a feature to precede by one day the opening of the state basketball tournament, is Verne DuChene, captain-elect of the 1932 University of North Dakota team. Arrangements to have DuChene participate in the game as a member of the Phantom squad were made by Churchill Monday when it became known that DuChene would be in the city at the time and was willing to participate in the charity affair. A Percentage of the net proceeds of the contest will be turned over to the Red Cross for its drought relief fund, ac- cording to Milton Rue, chairman of the committee which is the contest. ‘The University star is regarded as the fastest and tricklest performer on North Dakota courts, having demon- strated his ability in numerous North Central conference games this year. His presence makes it certain that the Bison will have to go at top speed to pull out a victory in the game against the local independent squad. Churchill said Tuesday that he ex- pects the Phantoms to go at top speed against their college rivals. His full strength will be on hand and with | ice. DuChene as an ace in the hole he expects his squad to make an excel- lent showing against the agricultural college outfit. In the state independent tourna- ment games at Minot, the Phantoms were handicapped by the absence of George (Baldy) Hays, their regular center. Despite this fact, they lost by only one point to Enderlin, event- ual tourney winner, in the hardest game the lent cl Lefty was chatting with the mayor | had. the other day and told him he liked Havana a lot but that he couldn't understand the language and that was a draw-back.
