Hunter Gives Lowdown on Long Driving : Landis Bans Individual Salary Limit SLUGGER ANALYZES STYLES OF HITTING Indian Spring Pro Combines Two to Lace Out Pro- digious Shots. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ANT to know how to sock a golf ball so far you will be the envy of your golfing associates? Want to see that pill ride so far that most golf holes will become drive and mashe holes for you? Sure, every one does. The mighty sock still is the big thrill in golf, whether it counts or not. The deadly short game may win matches, but the biggest kick of the game still comes out of the lengthy wallop from the tee. “Old Doc” Munro Hunter, maestro of maul, dian Spring Golf Club and the mighti- est walloper of a golf ball ever seen in this neck of the bunkered woods, offers 8 few sage words of advice that ma help you and you to secure that added length in 1932 that will enable you to win those golf matches you have been losing on the last hole. He gives 'em free, too, for in addition to being the longest smiter of a golf ball ever seen in these parts, “Doc” Hunter, surgeon of ailing golf swings, wants every one to have the benefit of his observations on why & golf ball goes so far. “THIRE are two types of hitting & golf ball, both of which may and do result in long driving,” Hun- ter says. “One of them is the full swing with the wooden clubs, in which | the ball is struck merely as an incident to the full swing of the club and the | club head is not greatly accelerated as it comes into the ball, The other is the sharp type of hitting which is prevalent_among some of the profes- sionals—that is, hitting with a sharp acceleration from about half way in the down swing by bringing the right hand into action at a spot about 4 feet from the ball. Either method will | bring good results, but it is hard to combine the two methods in one swing. | “For the elderly man, who has taken up golf after the years of youth, the| sharp method of hitting probably will bring the best results, for his muscles do not have the suppleness of his younger years and he finds it hard to | take the full and complete swing & | younger man might take. If this man | will take care not to cut across the ball | from outside in ond will instcad make | sure that his club head arc goes from inside out, he will find himself hitting a much longer and straighter ball be- | fore many weeks have rolled around. This man will use more right hand in | his hit than the full swinger, but he | must not allow his right hand to come | in too soon. If he does he will begin cutting across the ball in the old way | and his slice will be back in the old groove. Either that or the strong right | hand will turn the ciubhead in too fast | and a quick hook will result | | o E long swinger. who slices must make sure to hit the ball with| his left hand in control at all times. e, in particular, must be cau- tioned not to let that right hand come | into the swing at all. His left hand | must.be in control at all times. He ' should have less trouble than the sharp hitter in cultivating a swing from the inside of the arc ioward the outside, for if his back swing is in the proper erc the club head must came down in the right arc to force his club head out- side the line of flight of the ball at the moment of impact.” Hunter's own swing is a composite of the two styles—the swing and the sharp hit. But not many folks can | combine the two, and it is only his | naturally fast footwork and his inti- mate knowledge of the components that make up the swing that enable him to combine the two and produce the tremendous tee shots that have been the marvel of all Washington | since he came to Indian Spring four | years ago. Hunter has a very long| swing. His swing arc probably covers much ‘more footage than that of even Bobby Jones® tremendous arc, in which the clibhead travels a distance of 48 feet. Hunter has the natural advantage of untisual height (6 feet 5!% inches) and unusually long arms. But he says he is conscious of the right hand com- ing in fast at a distance of about 4 feet from the ball and turning over quickly to obtain the maximum of strength of action at the moment of | impact. ST AM also conscious, when I am swinging right, of a movement of | the right elbow in close to the| right hip,” he says, “which keeps the | professional goifer at the In-| | Londos, which is at least more than YEARS AGO THE STAR. | l REDERICK ~FITZGERALD _ of | Philadelphia has been signed as | the new groundkeeper at the | Nationals ball park. | "'Misses Goodlow, Miller and Heron are almost sure of places on the Western High girls’ basket ball team.

La Barba and Earl Mastro, all of whom failed to lift the crown, the Brooklyn boy will have one advantage the others did not enjoy. The match rather took Bat by surprise, as he was figuring on an over-the-weight affair snd allowed himself to grow up above the 140-pound mark. Getting down from 143 or 144 to 126 in 10 days is no cinch, especially when the trick must be done in 10 days. Bat- talino's chief asset is h's ruggedness.

MOUNT RAINIER WINS TWO Routs Bowie All-Stars and High Teams by Wide Margins.

But the schedule, they expect, will | again get their team off on the wrong foot for the Sox have some 20-odd games with the slaughtering Athletics, Yankees and Senators before meeting up with any of their Western peers. Prospects seem bright with one of the best pitching staffs in either league. A fair catching department, an infield with only one doubtful spot and a well- rounded and veteran outfield. “Shono” whose watchword is “hustle,” has moved the Spring training camp from Pensacola to Savannah. Collins will start for Georgia next month. with ebout 32 players, smallest Spring trzining squad in ma years It is likely that last year's hurling corps will again carry the burden. The veterans include Wilcy Moore, D2nny MacFayden, Horace Lisenbee, Ed Dur- ham, Ed Morris and Jack Russell. Collins has high hopes that young Bob Kline, a relief worker last year, will get going and that old Pete Donahue, a great right-hander with the Cincinnati Redl? years ago, will be able to come back. Bill Sweeney is booked for another whirl at first base and Hal Rhyne, shortstop, is counted upon for another year. Marty McManus seems to fill the third base hole nicely, leaving only second base to worry about. The outfield Includes Webb, Tom Oliver and Al Van Camp, a veteran trio, Charlie Berry, who watches over the itchers, will again be called upon to do most of the catching, with Eddie Con- nelly, Howard Storie and “Red” Har- greve, formerly of Detroit and late of Baltimore, battling for the relief job. «y” BOYS WIN IN TANK Boy Scouts’ Swimming Team Is De- feated by 49 to 23 Score.

Fistic Battles | month! |organized base ball MINORS' PAY PLAN BLASTED BY JUDGE Maximum Only Under New Base Ball Order. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 6— Judge Landis has put his big official boot down flat on an individual salary limit in minor league base ball. He refuses to permit the “bushers” to exploit their ignorance of com- mon law and run counter to their own best interests. The Texas League adopted an indi- vidual salary limit. The commissioner of base ball heard of it, naturally, and sent word to all minor leagues that if one of them attempted to make perma- nent any regulation that limited an in- dividual player to a certain sum per season he would squash it. When the Texas League heard that it rescinded its action about an indi- vidual salary limit and adopted a gross salary limit instead. The league, under its new resolution, may pay & certain gross sum monthly to its players. But it does not say to any one player, “You' can earn just this much, not & cent more, and if you don't like it, you can get out.” With a gross sum appropriated monthly, each club can divide its individual remuneration to fit the case. Minors Keep Moguls on Edge. It is the minor leagues that keep fidgety. Some owners in the minor circuits never mother much about ethics and some of 1tahem never heard of the anti-trust ws. Indeed, there are minor owners who think they are public benefactors be- cause they run base ball clubs, and it is these who make the most trouble for base ball. They continue operating a club until they have spent all of the cash they wish to spend. Then they want to knock off right there and let | the players go hang. When the minor association was formed one of the best things that it did was to establish financial responsi- bility on the part of its members as best it could. When the minors wished | to hook up with the majors, the latter would not agree to any union unless all financial labilities of the minors were made en obligation. Now, if a minor league doesn't do as ould, organized base ball holds its territory responsible for shortcomings, and there can be no more base ball in that neighborhood, under official sanc- tion, until all claims are adjusted to the satisfaction of the creditor. Salaries Are Guaranteed. The salaries of the players are guar- anteed. When a club falters in pay- ment, the league must make good for the debts of the individual club if the league wishes to remain in business. If it goes out of business, base ball can- not be resumed in that territory, even under new owners, until the liabilities of the old club have been cleared up. The stringency of this regulation has | made a big difference in minor league base ball and there are few 2tfempts now to operate a minor team on a shoestring. In former days, there were men engaged in minor leegue base ball whose principal aim in life was to es- cape everything they could financially. The fact that players were not always paid in full mcant little to them. From the moment Commissioner Landis took office, he informed those in organized base bell that when there seemed to be anything wavering in the balance as to the rights of the player, he would give the player consideration over the owner. He said the player would have justice, and his present rul- ing is in line with that declaration. Alexandria Notes ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 6.— Alexandria High will enter its game with the Charlottesville Fives in the University City tonight without the services of “Bubbles” Yarter, forward.
