These faults cause the club face to cut across the line of flight. They can be overcome by bracing the left line of intended flight. Standing too close to the ball or sending the club through too far away from the body hinders the fol- low through. Concentrate on hitting the ball from the inside out. Quitting on a shot, that is, hitting into the ball and stopping the swing so that the arms are drawn in and the club turned over, is a common; cause of hooking. Billy Burke, national open cham- Pion, in the illustration demonstrates | the right way to swing into the shot. The hips parallel the line of intended flight and the right arm stays close to the side. The smaller sketch is the wrong way. Here the hips and shoulders have turned too rapidly to- ward the left.

Falk Sunday scored the winning and only run in a 1 to 0 triumph over St. Paul, the Mudhen’s second straight victory over the Saints.

The contest was called at the end of the fifth inning because of rain, but the Red Birds made the most of their oppor- tunities and banged out 11 hits off Wilson, Miller and Hensick.

' Tribe Exchanges Cissell and Moore For Hodapp and Outfielder Seeds Cleveland, April 25.—(AP)—The Cleveland Indiansand Chicago White Sox added new strength Monday by one of the American League's biggest Player trades in several years. The deal, announced Sunday night, sends Shortstop Chalmers (Bill) Cis- sell and Pitcher Jim Moore to the Indians in exchange for Second Baseman Johnny Hodapp and Out- fielder Bob 5 Cissell, once known as Chicago's $123,000 beauty, is expected to give the tribe one of the tightest-fielding inner-gardens in the league, while Hodapp and Seeds were sought by the Sox for their punch at the plate. Chicago bought Cissell from Port- land in 1927 for $75,000 cash and players valued at $48,000. He is 28, fast and clever, and has @ four-year batting average of .261. The tribe may use him either at second base or shortstop. Seeds is considered one of the most, promising young outfielders in the game, and is likely to hit above .300. ‘Hodapp, a veteran, has a five-year average of .320, but is believed past’ the zenith of his career.

The apparent attempt to make the great Paavo Nurmi the “goat” at the behest of European promoters, charg- ing him with professionalism, will not remedy conditions that have existed in many countries, If the international federation whole-heartedly desired to “clean house” in advance of the Olympics, it would first be obliged to discipline club promoters and then wipe the slates clean of most of the star talent in every leading nation. This is not to say there are no real simon-pure performers in track and field sports, but outside of the colleges, the athletes who do not bene- fit in one way or another from their Teputations are few and far between.

Levinsky and the former world’s welterweight and middleweight king will fight 10 rounds or less at the Chicago stadium Friday night. Walk- er probably will have to concede at least 15 pounds.

His require- ments as to living accommodations were simple. He shied away from these impulsive Americans who talked a very fantastic language. Paavo was willing to run as long as he felt all right. That was the only language he knew—foot-racing—and he knew it better than any other runner of his time. Ido not know how much, if any- thing, Nurmi profited from his Amer- ican tours.
