INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil In making the stroke with the right elbow held lightly against the side durlng the entire stroke the player must first get firmly fixed in his mind that his body must not be rained as the clubhead &oes through the ball. The bent follow-through, which should always be used in every ®olf stroke, is encourage by this method of playing, but the nd- vantages are all lost it the player | wa his body to straighten up | Just ax he hits the ball. As n | matter of fact, the right shoulder | whould shoot right into the bail Just ax the clubhead meets it, hut | wreat precaution must be used not to let the right shoulder mo into the stroke before the clubhead meets the ball. Keep the hea down and stiffen the left leg, s that at the end of the stroke the body fs stopped, the head in down and the right o er 1s well for- ward toward the green. .A fow practice trokes made this v will reveal that the ball is fairly scooped off the ground. You will alxo be surprined at the apeed the clubhead attains just as it goes through the ball when the club in swung with the right elbow held against the side in thix way. Don't stand 100 close to the bal nor too far away—stamd Just right for your comfort. (Copyright, John F\. Dille,Co.) TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPER'S FERRY, W.

WASHINGTON LINKS NOW IN FULL USE Members of the Washington Golf and Country Club are ushmg all the new holes of the reconstructed course of the Virginia Club, on which nearly $40,000 has been spent during the past two years, and which, it is claime?, now is the equal in dificulty of any about the capital. Those mem- bers, who have played the entire new course, agree that it is as difficult a | proposition as they want to face. New holes which have been put into use during the past week to make the entire new course availa- ble for play include the second, third, ninth, fourteenth and elghteenth. The second is changed from a midiron shot to & good mashie shot. The third is made a long two shotter, instead of a mediocre three. The ninth is made into a on hot hole—a mi iron across a ditcl The fourteenth s changed from 185-yard affair to a 215-yard ho Wwhere the iron’ or wooden shot must be carried all the way. The eigh- teenth green has been considerably improved, and the hole strengthened in every respect. All that now remains to be done is a measure of finishing off. Some of the bunkers are not entirely complet- ed, but the course as a whole is in good playing condition and two months more should see it in fine shape. Members of the Chevy Chase Club have been extended the courtesy of the Indian Spring Golf Club during the middle Atlantic tournament. McFall Kerbey member of the Washington Newspaper Golt Club, won the first flight In the spring tourney of the Argyle Country Club, defeating H. Bande in the final round by 4 and 3.

It vg':zs by a well known player and he suggested that the surest way to, hit \ the ball was by taking the club back with a straight'left arm N and keeping the arm straight at the top of the swing: This is not a new theory, but it needs a lot of explanation, otherwise it is misleading. There are two important things to be considered in the swing. Some golfers use what is 5 1s entirely flat. Golfers arc lined u styles. i An upright swing means that the ciub ia brought up in an upright cir- cle, while the flat swing is more around the body. In beginning golf it is necessary first to learn whether your swing is upright or flat. Either one will do to start with, but one must find out immediately on account of purchas- ing clubs. Upright swingers must use clubs with upright lies and flat swingers should use flat lies. Most golfers feel insulted if re minded that they have a flat swing. It does not mean that the swing is |CONGAREE IS FIRST IN OLD-BIRD RACE Congaree of the Pennington loft won the final and premler ‘race of the old- bird serles®flown by the Aero Homing Pigeon Club iri conjunction with the Na- tional Capital Concourse Association, from Napanee, Ind., 507 miles airline. Congaree had demonstrated her su- perb worth in four previous 500-mile races, in each of which she was a run- ner-up for top honors, but it remained for her to exhibit her true homing abil- ity in this classic endurance test, when | she beat the first bird from the next loft by over three hours. Her closest ocompetitors were two loftmates, Big Boy and Hoga. Big Boy won the 300-mile race from Mt Vernon, Ohio, three weeks ago,” while Hoga is the’ “queen of flight,” prob- ably the best 500-miler in America. This represents the elghth consecutive 500- mile race in which she has distinguished harself. Because of a late start at | the birds could not make their res i tive homes on the day of liberation.

George Duncan is another. Duncan brings the hands up very high. With both of these players you will observe from their photographs that the left arm is slightly bent to permit the club to take the horizontal position over the shoulders.
