FAULTS WITH IRON ‘SHOTS SOON CURED Base Is Diagnosed by Mc- Leod—Jones Among Those to Seek Instruction. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. AVE you ever thought your golf swing is good enough and your powers of swing diagnosis keen enough to fron out any kinks in your swing? Do you know that many first- rank amateurs and a good many of our leading professionals some- times go to a professional to straighten out the old swing when it goes wrong? Even Bobby Jones, the peer of them all, who should be able to pick out flaws in his swing, does not hesitate a moment 1o go to a professional if he thinks he is swinging a bit out of line. And right here in Washington we have a good example of the willingness of one of our leading professionals to admit that his game is not trouble- proof: that if his swing goes wrong in a minor detail he is willing to go to some one else to have the kinks ironed out instead of struggling along with bad shots in the hope that it will correct it- self. The state of mind of J. Monro Hunter, the big hitter of Indian Spring, 1s a refreshing example of the old golf theory th&t no man is infallible at the ancient game and that some one, som where, can always help a real student of the game. Quickly Sees Trouble. Early this Spring Hunter began hav- ing trouble with his intermediate iron shots. Always a long hitter and a very fine putter, he was not satisfied with his medium iron shots. Either they went to one side or the other on occa- sions, or they sting with which he used to hit them. So he made overtures to Fred McLeod, the little golf doctor of Columbia. who nows as much about hitting a golf ball as any living man. Freddie had a look at him, and within 10 minutes he had Hunter hitting the ball in a different Wway, a_way that put the iron shots where they should go. Probably any one of *he other fine rofessionals around Washington could Pave done the same thing. They are all ood diagnosticians of an ailing swing. ut what we are getting at is the at- 4 B v been willing—a golf professional ha self—to put his game in the hands hi e weak spot. Many am:teurs are un- ;anz mD{‘nk; lessons, b“:\mg they ope out their own faults ca%l?rer is lots of precedent for profes- &ion: taking a lesson or two from an- other pro.

S Puhen he is plaving off & tie for the open championship, that is a good sign. Many of our leading amateurs are willing' to admit they go wrong occasionally, and go to the pro for vice. B0 e’ of the hardest things connected with the actual playing of the game o golf is the ability to diagnose ones Son faults. But a pro can do it, quickly and surely.

Starts in St. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoctated Press Sports Writer, T. PAUL, July 25.—Most of the favored pursuers for the $10,000 St. Paul open golf championship today were just about where they started as the struggle for gold bounded into its second 18-hole stretch over the sun-baked fairways of the Keller Club course. Bo effective was the attack on old man par's none too well fortified stronghold during the initial round of the 72-hole fight yesterday that five players, four of them stars of interna- tional dimensions, tied for the lead with par-exploding 69's, while no less than 15 others were close to the front run- ners with 70's or 71's. Most of the low scorers were favorites except for a few dark horses, a situation which left the title chase pretty well up in the at- mosphere. Yanks and British Tied. Two native sons of England and three Americans were among the sixty-niners in yesterday's initial round.

It has been said many times that the ability to play olf well is an art. and I suppose it comes as near to being that as anything else. The average golfer who is ambitious to play well makes a great mistake when he attempts to bulid up a foolproof swing synthetically by adding one mo- tion at a time, trying to achieve a com- plete set of motions which he can re- produce accurately time after time. After all. the whole thing should be a matter of “feel.” What he should strive 1or most of all is a sense of touch which is delicate and reliable, enough so that he can know the position and location of the club at all times during the swing. Victor East is one instructor of golf who lays great stress upon this matter of feel. Victor tells me that when he takes charge of a new pupil his first concern is to develop this sense of touch. His first act is to place a club in his pupil's hands and then have him close his eyes, turn the gub arcund and around In his hands until, with his eyes closed and relying solely upon the feel of the club, he is able to tell when the face is true in its prop°r hitting po- | sition. This is a very simple thing for ORSESHOE pitchers of Falls Church, who have dominated championship play in Fairfax H coming Metropolitan District tournat- ment. _Little has been heard from Falls Church about its aces, George Thompson, the Darnes Brothers, Ed Henry and Enzer Brandon, and it seems they are not taking the rest of the county seriously. But from Accotink, Chesterbrook and several other communities comes word of advances made by pitchers who failed to go far fh the tournament last |year and some of the soldiers at Fort Humphrey, who will take part for the first time, are said to be expert ringer throwers. TLLIAM STALCUP will direct play at Chesterbrook in place of Till- man Grimes, chairman for two years, who now is in Florida. All the pitchers in Fairfax OCounty BLAN!

Dent, | w. | | Berwyn Heights, Hollywood and Daniels | an expert golfer, with his highly devel- oped sense cf tourh. to do, but it is a | matter of great difficulty for the less experienced player. This fact alone, it seems to me, indicates its importance. There can be no doubt that a first- | class golfer must make little corrections, even up to the instant of impact. This same thing that we are talking about— Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER. Bobby Jones, commenting upon the timing of the drive, says that the weight goes with the swing. Barnes puts it in this way—the arms and body stay together throughout. Both mean the same thing. Take the sketch of Jones and note that at contact his I~ft arm, hands and clubhead are on a line. That mernz that the f~~e of his that is, the impossibility of repeating | exactly the same set of motions time after time—means that for consistently good results little errors of position must be corrected by the time the club meets the ball These corrections must be made instantaneously. There is no time tor conscious control, so that there is cnly the sense of touch, or feel, or whatever we may call it, and the in- stantaneous reaction of the muscles that can accomplish this. Naturally, the feel of the club is com- municated through the hands and any alt:rations of the grip, it would seem to me, must alter this feel. I therefore think it is unwise to change the grip from time to time during the course of a round, as many people do. If there 1s some glaring defect, then, of course,a change should be made, but decidedly there should be no attempt to control t-ndencies to hook or slice by changing the hands about. I am quite certain that I have not altered my grip in the least particular in the past 15 years ex- cept for putting. When I find myself inclined to either hook or slice, I look somewhere else for a remedy. for 1 know that my chances of working out of the trouble are much better if I maintain the connccting link between my body and my club the same. These arc some of the reasons why I any person the exagt positions which By this I mean that it is unwise to tell a men, for instance, that his left hand should be in such a position that as h> looks down upon it three knuckles |should be visible. Some hands are wide, some are narrow, some are fat, some are thin—and while I might grip |a club so that three knuckles would be visible, John Smith might hold the |same club across his fingers and palm able to ses only two knuckles. There are certain featurss of the grip | which are important. I think among | these is holding the club mainly in the | fingers. Certainly anoiher is that the hands should not be opposed, but should | be working together, but within cer- | tain the most mportant thing |is that the grip should be comfortable and natural. In this, as in all other things pertaining to goif, the instructor | ought to realize and make his pupil appreciate that while tnere are certain | fundamentals which ought to be ob- served, still there is considerable lati- ude allowed for individual require- | ments and preferences.

The only thing in sight for Walker is a return match with Sharkey and that, in spite of what you may hear, is most unlikely. There is no excuse for matching Sharkey with any one in the future unless the gromoter can supply a reasonable guaranty that the man who meets the gob will knock him out.

While nothing looms for Walker and he may not even be able to put his hands on his purse for Wednesday night's battle because of attachments, Promoter Johnston plans to go right ahead with his plans for Sharkey. “If Sharkey means what he says when he tells me he would like to box Loughran again next month, I will put the fight on as soon as I get the Rosen- bloom-Slattery fight out of the way on August 5, says Johnston. “Also, 1 am going to match Sharkey with Carnera for an early October date. “Carnera will start training in three or four weeks for his bout with Schme- |ling for the Garden. Unless the Ga: | den produces Schmeling, and you know as well as I do that Max won't be back until next year, Carnera will be auto- | matically released from his contract to box Schmeling. If the Garden doesn't | trot out Schmeling there is no law or | justice in prohibiting Carnera from | meking himself some dough by fight- |ing Sharkey. When the Garden fails to produce Max, I will shift the |of the Sharkey-Carnera fight to Se] | tember 16.” Johnston rates a Sharkey-Carnera fight a better attraction now than it |was before the gob fizzled against | Walker, arguing that the fans now will give the big Italian a royal chance to stow the gob away for keeps. Certainly it is not necessary to be a Carnera en- thusiast to make Primo a favorite over Sharkey if the gob can fight no better than he did against Walker. | The show, considering the brawl fig- ured to be a walkover for Sharkey. | man the public wanted to see beaten, did very well in attracting gross re- celpts of $223,356 and a net of $212,720, 'GEORGETOWN VICTOR IN PLAYGROUND MEET Norris, Who Wins Two Events and Helps Take Relay, Is Star of Competition. 71-foot | Led by little Johnny Norris, who won the 50-yard dash and the running broad jump in the 70-pound class, be- sides helping his team to victory in the 220-yard relay.
