EW YORK, June 20.—The Winged Foot, over which the national | PHmns Biokes open championship will be contested at Mamaroneck next | Wil rse. By that I mean that in order to score well a player's second shot must be accurate and Ik good length. The Winged Foot Olympia_ Fields, Chicago, where Johnny Farrell and Bobby Jones tied for first last year, and where Farrell won the play-off. Oakmont, where Armour won from Cooper in a play-off in 1927, extends 6,970 yards. While most o rolling to the edge of the green is to wind up in the sand. to be more than usually important. When the field of 150-0dd starts away at 8:30 o'clock on the morning of June 27 for the first day's 18 holes of play, the contestants will know that ahead of them lies a course with two 517-yard Toles (the fifth and ninth), many holes over 400 yards, and not a mashie hole in the lof. In this latter statement I refer to the short holes. There are four of them, the shortest of which is the seventh, 170 yards in length. The tenth hole is 190 yards, the thirteenth hole is 213 yards, and the third hole 217 yards. That means a No. 2 or a No. 3 iron, or possibly a spoon shot. Those holes are tough par threes. Much Depends on Weather. Much will depend upon the weather. It it remains hot and the course be- comes baked out, the long ‘hitters will get & roll which will give them terrific distance from the tees. In such cases they might frequently have a mashie shot for the green; but if the weather happens to be wet the best of them will have to lay the ball with an iron or the | wood | Rain Monday and Tuesday before the mateh opens on Thursday and fair | weather the remainder of the week | would produce the most favorable con- | ditions for a real test. This wouldn't | suit the oarsmen and base ball fans, | but it would be highly satisfactory to | the devotees of golf. | As is customary, 18 holes will be layed on Thursday and the same num- et on “Friday, but Saturday the field will be cut to the leading 60 and those who tie for sixteenth place, to permit of 36 holes being played. Many of the favorites have edrly starting times, which is & source of gratification to those spectators wishing to get back to New York for the Schmeling-Paulino bout on Thursday night.

You will find a big gallery leaving with them. Hagen Staris Late. It will be almost an hour later before Gene Sarazen and Jack Cummins, the Cleveland amateur, get _away. ‘The: starting time is 11:40. Right on their heels will come Walter Hagen and Louis Chiappetta of Hartford, who be- gin the morning’s work at 11:45. The Haig is another player who will carry a gallery with him. On Priday the men will have the same partners but new starting times, while on Saturday both partners and times will be changed. At Oakmont Armour and Cooper tied with totals of 301. At Olympia Farrell and Jones tied with totals of 294. It appears likely that this championship will be won with a score somewhere between those two. Of course, if the| fairways are baked to the consistency | of concrete, there is no telling what | scores may be made. Under ordinary | conditions &t Winged Foot the total of the winner should add up to somewhere | around 296, which is to say an average | ©of 74 strokes per round. The man in an open tournament who shoots a 69 one day is likely to shoot a 79 the mext. Few of them get through with- out one bad round. (Copyright, 1920, by North American News- T Alliance.)

So he plans to play it tomorrow, and to be the first to use it. The course wlil measure 6,106 yards, with nine measuring 3,039 and 3,067 vards in length. Four months ago Thorn started working toward the re- ing new tees, which will ir | every hole except the first and tenth. ‘The most radical change comes in the sixth hole, which will be played as usual for the first nine holes, but will be played fram a short tee as the fif- teenth.

Fred McLeod of Colum- bia, the other qualifier from Washing- ton, will not leave the Capital until Sundng night.

Cunningham of Burning Tree Slide Hips But Avoid Turning BY SOL METZGER. Few golfers know what constitutes what is known as the pivot. Its very name suggests the wrong thing, a turning of the hips and shoulders. Let us see what are its common prin- ciples. To do $o a look into the phys- fcs of the drive is necessary. As we know, the drive is but the applica- tion of three forces simultaneously upon the ball at moment of impact— the centrifugal swing of the club THIG TURN OF HIDG 16 WRONG = AVOIO i LATERALLY 10 RIGHT S MGy &7 with the straight left arm from the left shoulder, the added power gained by geiting one's weight be- hind the blow and the added accel- eration of clubhead secured by the wrist roll—the pivot concerns itself solely with getting one's weight be- hind the blow at contact. Naturally, to get one’s weight back of the blow one has to move it back for that purpose. As you want to apply this weight to a hit straight through the ball, we see immediately that the weight must move back and not around. To get it back one merely sways or slides the hips laterally to the right as the backswing starts, or even before, as Mitchell does. The hips do not turn. You may think they do because the left hip comes But as the weight slides laterally to the right and is caught by the heel & s ht left leg there is no turn back of the left hip. That is all there is to the pivot. < Then pull— the belt goes SAMSONBAK A\ Look for the SamMson- BAK label before you buy.

Calling on_her best golf in the emergency, Mrs. Hodges scored an 84 to defeat Mrs. Meckley, winning on the last green when the New York woman missed a 6-foot putt for a 4 on the eighteenth hole, which would have won the hole and squared the match. Hodges, however, putted poorly, and might have won before the eighteenth had her putter been working with its customary accuracy.
