RUANE GOLF VICTOR IN ST. JOHN’S EVENT| Beats Carey by Stroke in Play-off | of Tie for Captaincy of School Team. and Golf Grip BY BOBBY JONES. (American Open, =Britis . ‘Amateur and Britich Amateds Ghampions HE more one stands around, and watches the procession of club- member golfers as it passes a certain point on any course, the more firmly one comes to the idea that it is the body most of all which bothers them. They get the hands in funny positions, it is true, and sometimes the wrist action appears a bit strained, but in most cases it is possible to trace these idlosyncracies straight back to an incorrect body movement. Sometimes the handling of the hips and shoulders is such that the arm and wrist action must be funny to enable the player to hit the ball at all. % The average man is used fo handling things with his hands, wrists and arms. He isn't so bad when be has something to do which he can accomplish with these members alone. I think the golf swing only becomes difficult for him, because it involves a co-ordination of the hands, wrists and arms with an active use of the body. A number of people have tried to play golf without using the hips and torso muscles to any great extent, but not one of them has ever gotten to first base. One instructor | will emphasize the body action and an- other wiil concentrate cn the hands and EVEN woman golfers of Washing- ton attended the meeting of Marylend woman players who od on a new plan last Friday for handicapping fair players in the State. They were Mrs. Jerome Moyer of Woodment, Mrs. Frank R. Kecfer, president of the Women’s District Golf Associaticn; Mrs. J. F. Gross of Indian Spring, Mrs. William 8. Corby of Co- lumbia, Mrs. H. A. Knox of Congres- sional, Mrs. Alma Von Steinner of Washington and Mrs. Otis Glenn of Kenwood. The women decided to arrange their handicaps for play in Maryland by a method similar to that used by the Maryland State Golf Assoclation for men. This will use the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country Club as a scratch layout, with the other courses handicapped at 1 and 2 strokes above Five Farms. In handicapping the male players, the State association obtains the club handicap of the player according to the Calkins system and then gives him & handicap one stroke above his club ‘handicap.

A check on the proper address of one's irons was given a few days 2go when no less an authority than Roger Wethered, great British ama- teur golfer, was called upon. Weth- ered stated that the best way to get the irons at right angles to the di- rection line was to place the line of the sole on this angle.

Apparently the game cannot be played with either one alone. It seems to me that the chief trouble arises from the fact that the close rela- tion between the use of the hands and the movement of the body is not clearly recognized; in other words, because the player does not realize, that whén he places his hands upon the club he in that instant determines what he should do with his choulders and hips when he hits the ball. Take the case of the late J. Douglas Edgar. When Doug was right there ‘was no one in the world who could have given him anything. In fact, I think that in bis day he was the most bril- liant golfer I have ever seen. Yet Douglas Edgar's style was not what we regard as orthodox. What struck the observer when he played a shot was the queer body action. Throughout his stroke the left shoulder was very high and the right shoulder, as he hit the ball, came in very much under the |left. And his club stopped very quickly after he hit the ball. It was not a pretty style because the effort was so manifest. But not every one saw that Edgar’s style was made necessary by the way in which he took hold of the club—with his left hand well on top of the shaft and his right hand well underneath it. If he had not kept his left shoulder low he would soon have found himself hitting the ball with the very toe of every club, Demands No Contortion. ‘The old “two-V” grip is so highly recommended because it is a grip which demands no contortion. It was s0 named because it involved placing the hand in such positions that the Vs formed by the thumb and fore-finger of shaft. With this grip the only thing to cause the right shoulder to drop down was the fact that the right hand was belbw the left on the club. When you watch body-action also have a look at the grip. To turn the left hand so that is more on top of the shaft makes it necessary to keep the left shoulder high. To dm}) the right hand around under the shaft right shoulder down. While there may be certain considerations of form which body motion, still we must remember that the two are too close to be entirely separated. (Gopyrizht, 1931 STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE ANDY ARMOUR, Congressional Country Club pro, it a great ad- mirer of his brother Tommy. Now Tommy, according to Sandy, is good at anything, and can play well any game | involving hitting a ball with an jmple- | ment, b2 it a billiard cue, a golf club, lor a base ball bat. For some time | sandy has been telling the folks how | his brother Tommy hit a base ball | pitched by Carl Mays from the home plate at the Polo Grounds in New York over the center fleld fence. Now that distance, according to the best informed authorities, 15 something like 600 feet, which would be 200 yards, in golf parlance. Sandy sat in with a group of ball players of the Washington club at the boxing dinner given at Congressional lzst Thursday evening and told the yarm of Tommy's prodigious hit of the base |ball. And how the boys jumped on him. Focketbooks and checks made their appearance, all willing to get down on the line that no base ball player— let alone a golfer—could knock a base ball that distance, and finally Sandy, after the ball players had gotten down to the basis of the facts in the case, ad- mitted that maybe Tommy had knocked the ball up inst the fence. Eight mem| of the local ball club dinner and attended the boxing matches afterward. were: Walter John- son, Joe Cronin, Ed. Gharrity, Joe Judge, Sam Jones, Mike Martin, Nick Altrock and Al Schacht. | GIANTS SCORE EASILY ‘Ehow All-Around Bkill in 7-to-1 | Defeat of Phillies. By the Assoctated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18 (#).—Carl Coan, intercollegiate indoor mile cham- plon, proved he was rounding into good form for the outdoor season when he stepped the three-quarters of a mile race in 3 minutes 65-10 seconds in winning the event in the annual Spring meet of the University of Pennsylvania today. The record is 3 minutes 28-10 sec- onds. Coan conceded handicaps up to 100 yards to a starting fleld of 16. ' As Golfers Many | © Would Bowl Well 'ERE is an idea for golfers who are disappointed in their bowling scores and bowlers who displeased with their golf scores. It comes from A. H. Moran, one of Washington's most enthusias- tic golfers. “I recently have tried the experi- ment of putting my golf scores on a bowling chart and my bowling score on my golf score cards, with excellent results,” he writes.
