WASHINGTON, The self-hypnosis in golf, or the mental inhibitions that come up, are |among the most peculiar features of the game—something hard to explain. Some time ago I was watching a first- | class golfer hitting his tee shot. He had a decided hitch at the top of his | | swing with wooden clubs, a habit of completing his back swing, and then suddenly lifting his hand two or three inches before hitting the ball. This naturally brought about uncertain | wooden ‘club piay. He had no sign of this in his practice swing. He could take one practice swing after another that was practically perfect. But. as he explained, with the ball to be struck it was something entirely different. Once he reached the top of the back swing. | he simply had to take that extra hitch before starting the down swing. And there was no device he could employ | that would stop it. It had become a mental habit that couldn't be broken Jerry Travers had something of the same fault with his wooden clubs, and | Jerry also found it almost impossible | to stop, with all the marvelous mental and nerve control he employed in golf. | i In the same way I noticed another first-class player who found it impos- sible to take more than a half swing. | or at best only a trifie more. In the same way. he had a perfect practice swing. The club head would cover the | fuil arc. and even drop down a bit His practice swing was free. full and replete with power. But with the ball to be struck, he found it beyond his | power to take this same full swing. | shortening the arc to such an extent that it cost him valuable distance. | | He admitted that he had been caught | and held by this habit for several years | and there was nothing he could do | correct it. It was a habit that had be- come fixed in_ his mind and could not | | be dislodged. He had tried every known | system. but_the short back swing took | | control of the situation when there was | a ball to be hit.

I watched him take his practice wing, and it was perfect. Recalling ‘Nipper” Campbell's advice to a pupil, I asked him one day why he didn't hit the ball with his practice swing. “I'd like to,” he sald, “but I can't.| No one knows how I have tried. I can take as fine a practice swing as any one in_the world. I know what the correct | golf swing is and how to make it. But once that ball is waiting to be hit, it is entirely different, another story in every way. There is something I can't understand that makes me go through certain motions before I can take my shot at that ball.” Some have explained this under the heading of self-hypnosis. Others have figured that it is & subconscious con- trol gone off the beaten path. Self- hypnosis sounds like the most reason- able_explanation. There are many such examples in golf. and few of them have ever been cured. Once established, they get be- | yond control. The mental and the psy chological side of golf is so strong that a habit of this sort is much harder to cure than some fault in the swing, such as a slice or hook. They seem to dig so deeply into the subconsclous strata that they are beyond being dislodged. The ones thus affected might try some | hypnotic cure through the aid of a professional hypnotizer. There are times of any help. KNEW HOW TO CATCH. After 15 years of backstopping, Dan | Howley, manager of the St. Louls Amer- ican League base ball team, famous as a catcher, boasts of the fact that his fingers are in perfect shape.

For instance, the Rockville Ath- letic Association, which meets the Wash- ington Red Sox todav at Rockville, was touted the other day as having won nine straight games without a loss this season. Immediately followed a kick from the National Circle A. C. and the Hess A C.. both of which claimed victories over Rockville. The claim was sustained, in part, by Bob Cole, secretary of the Rock- ville organization, who at the same time corrected an error in his publiched dope concerning the Washington Red Sox He said: “The games won by Na- tional Circle and Hess were from the Rockville senior team. They did not beat the unlimited class team referred | to in the newspaper article in question. | “I said that the Washington Red Sox had split even on two games with the St. Mary's Celtics of Alexandria this season. As & matter of fact, the Red Sox were beaten, 8 to 2. by the Celtics last Sunday in the only game these clubs have played this year, The Celtic victory evened up for a defeat they received last seasdh from the Red | sox.” | Today's battle between Rockville and | the Red Sox is one of the season's fea- ture attractions at the Maryland town. Both teams have sparkling records. The Celtics, too, have a headline |game listed.

Good news for those anglers who visit Canada for the salmon angling season 1 was received last week from New Bruns- wick. The report states that the season has opened. with bright sea-run Atlan- tic silver salmon rising to the fly earlier | than usual, the fnest fish that have been taken from New Brunswick waters in years being caught. The first salmon have already been taken by fly fishermen on the St. John River, and now come reports of the first catches being made on the famous Restigouche River.

There are some youngsters who visit the Basin each day and group their catch, one of the party perhaps catch- | ing nothing and another taking many more than his bag limit. One day last | week one young man was observed with a string of eight crapple, and when questioned about them said he did not know there was any bag limit, and then said he had not caught them all, but |, some of them belonged to his fishing companions.
