Speaking. of Sports § FOPIE0ETEEVIINVIETIIOY Stavinitsky, one of the stars of the Plainfield Basketball team but « resident of South Manchester, may join Olson’s Terrible Swedes, accord- ing to a report heard about town last night. He starred against the Western aggregation the night be- fore last when the Swedes lost to Manchester. L TR LT Gullie, forward on the Kansas team, is scheduled to report at the St. Louis Cardinals for a tryout at at big league baseball. He expects the call next week to join the squad for training and this will leave a place vacant in the lineup of the Bwedes, Gullic is a shortstop and a very Hkely player. He is a crack court performer. George Bayer and Dick Hyland, two of the outstanding amateur rol- ler hockey players of this city, have hoth been signed up by the Middle- town Red Wings, semi-pro tcam. Bayer will tend goal and Hyland will play center. ) The Middletown team starts to- morrow night the Meriden Semi- pros. The club will play its games at the old Y. M. C. A. in Middle- town. An excellent rink has been made out of the hall and it is sur- prising that a league team hasn’t gone into the town. A movement is on foot in several of the smaller cities and larger towns to form a semi-pro roller hockey league. Middletown, New Britain, Meriden and Wallingford are interested and Bristol gnd some other club might be formbd. The formation of the league has not yct reached the definite stage. The manager of the American TNoller Hockey T.eague teams met at the Stanley Hotel here yesterday afternoon but failed to t any action other than o allow the trans- fer of §t. Aubin from Bridgeport to Fall River. Fred Jean will be the property of the league until his foot allows him 1o play once more. The veteran polo star Is in a hospital. He was suffering with a large-sizer bunion on his foot and it broke while he was playing against New Britain two weeks ago. He will be away from the game for some time, With St. Aubin in the lineup, Fall River has an imposing club and should make other teams in the league hustle, Manager Hammil of the Water- hury club paid us a visit yesterday to correct the statement that he had cut Eddie McAloon’s pay while the local player was a member of the club. Hammil stated that Eddie had agreed to play for $35 per week and he had been paid in full right up to the time he left the club. Hammil stated that he had the cancelled checks to prove his asser- tion. He stated that McAloon quit of his own accord and parted on the best of terms with him.

OUAR IS LONELY Tittle French Arab Finds Few Americans Who Speak His Tongue. Parls, Jan. 17.—(A—FEI Ouafi, the little French Arab who won the Olympic marathon and who is en- gaged in a professional running tour in the United States, writes that he s lonelier in America than on the Moroccan desert. The reason is that 50 few Americans speak his language. “I haven't spoken 50 words in Arabic since arriving here,” he wrote to a former fellow-worker at Leval- lots. Concerning his opponent in his professional races he wrote “Jole Nay is a good runner for 25 kilo- meters ( a little over 15 miles) but 1 can beat him from 40 kilometers up. I should like to run him 100 kilometers (more than 60 miles).” Harrington Elected Marathon Star Fall River, Mass, Jan. 17 (B— Edward Harrington, former coun- cillor, alderman and member of the state legislature last night was elect- ed city manager by the municipal council under the third. city char-|x 2 "HOONER Curling, NT. concern was felt to. of the schooner which sailed from the B: on December 26 herring for Gloucester, has not heen reported other vessels which v for the safety eline Adams v of Islands a cargo of Mass.

In sea- son or out of season, a golfer needs to keep in trim and for that reason, [in answer to numerous questions as to whether I think that golf prac- tice in the winter time is a help to those starting out in the apring, 1 have prepared, a few arguments in +To accomplish anything in life, whether it be work or pleasure, one bas to know the fundamentals of that which he tackles. This is most true in golf, today. one of the most popular of games. Years ago, golf was described as an old man's game or a rich man's game but today, people of all classes and stations in life play it from the office boy to the president of the company. Study of Fundamentals ‘To play golf successfully, an ap- plication to the study of the funda- wmentals under a competent in- structor, is necessary. Hundreds of golfers promise themselves during the winter months tbat in the spring they &0 to their club profession- al and take a few lessons in order to correct a last year's fault or get a right start for a good year, The majority of these fall by the way- side, either through fear of the ca- Jolery of a friend or because the hankering to fool around on every visit to the club, too strong. This year, probubly more than any other, embryo golfers and even some of the veterans have been at- tending school regularly at the Y. M. il Many of these have told me that their friends have laughed at them saying that they were wasting their time. Some of the arguments against indoor practice are that no one knows how far the ball is going or whether it will slice or ho his is so, but the trouble most golfers is that they are after too much distance and if they have a slice or a hook, they keep swing- ing at the ball hard and the wrong way and they will never be any bet- | ter off. six Tmportant Iactors A number of important things must be taken into consideration in a golf swing. In shaving these down, I find that six factors can easily be rementbered. They are stance, gri pivot, arims, head and eyes. . Taking the stance, a golfer must know how to stand properly with the fect planted square. On a wooden shot, it must be played off the left lieel and on the irons, also off the {ieft heel but slightly in betw the fect. The second, the grip, is one of the most important ntials. The left hand must be on the top |of the club with the right hand a little lower but overlapping the little finger of the left right on the tourth finger of the right hand. The pivot calls for a slight turn | of the body on the back swing which brings the left heel oft the ground little and gives the left knee a ort hend inwards holding a brace against the right side. The Jeft shoulder and the hip must be in line with the ball. On the down swing, this is entirely reversed with the right side braced against the left, Now for the arms. The arms should be out from the body a little carrying the club with a straight left arm on the hack swing to the top | of the shoulder with the wrists bend- ing freely and both clbows pointing to the ground. Then as you start swing, drag the club do left hand and arm ing the ball with both arms straight, carrying the club head out after the hall for a short ways, Then finish the swing with a straight right arm with the hend In the left arm and wrists at the top. Keep Head Still Fifth and sixth, a golfer miust tearn to keep the head still and the eves on the ball. This is the most important part of the game. If the head moves a fraction of a second too soon, then it throws the entirc swing off so that the ball is topped or missed completely. Before closing this little lesson, T might add that a golfer should have pity on the ball. Jt is harmless so do not try to kill it and it will fly much better for yon. 1If all of these things are done right, vou can’t help but hit is Jong and far. Indoor lessons will develop this proper swing as qnickly it not mor quickly than outdoors practice will. Private instruction enables a stu- dent to concentrate on his lesson and the pro to keep his aftention undivided on the pupil. Besides there is no chasing of the ball over hill and dale to eat up time. The local Y. M. C. A. has onc of the best equipped schools in the state and more than 35 pupils are being taught at the present time, with the down n with the THURSDAY, JANUARY FLYWEIGHTS TO MEET Johnny Hill, English Boxer Agrees to Bout With Emile Pladner of France, Paris, Jan. 17 (#—Johuny Hill, English flyweight, has accepted the terms of the Amcrican promoter, Jeft Dickson, for a bout with Emile “Spider” Pladner of France in an effort to clear up the muddled Eu- ropean flyweight title situation.
