YORK, January 15.— Every move made by the Washington team in prep- aration for the American League race of 1931 is watched keenly by rival clubs. They think Clark Griffith caught them nap- ping last year—and he did. Connie Mack, sage of the league, did not dream, as the season began, that ‘Washington would be the team that would crowd the Athletics to the end, nor did others. The addition of Harry Rice, for- fmerly of the Browns, the Tigers and the . Yankees, to the Washington team for next season, can hardly do the outfield anything but xood. although it may. mn:: m&ke it the best in the league. was acquired by the walver Toute this week.

Certain fine golfers will tell you that one of first moves in starting the downswing is to stamp the left heel upon the claim they consciously do this. I doubt if they actually think about it. Footwork, as was said earlier in this series, automatically takes care of itself. The swing of the club with the arms pulls the left heel off the ground before one reaches the top of the swing.
