FromT BY ROY GROVE. IN the Illustration you will find all the fundamentals necessary for an accurate and long drive, laid out, mathematically. This will serve to lessen any confuRlon. when addressing the ball, as to the dimensions of the body parts in rela tion to the ball. These principles adhere closer to such golfers as Joe Turnesa, Walter Hagen, Jesse 8weetser and those professionals' and -amateurs who take a broad stance for a powerful tee shot.

These dimensions executed In a rhythmatlc fashion will solve many of your troubles from the tee. You will, in all probability, find some startling figures here, especially where the right and left elbow are considered. These figures should blast the theory of the beginner that he must reach out for the ball in order to get distance. This solves the reaching factor so hazardous to the backswlng. Next, the distance between the heels is an important point.

(Former Piteher New York Giants) JUDGE KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS, supreme dictator of baseball, is a difficult man to get hold of, but when one catches him he usually has a good story. I cornered him one day and Insisted on a golf story. "I'll tell you," he said, "about a wonderful game I once played, with Bobby Jones." I asked.

-The judge hesitated. "I forget where it was, but I got a good start, and every club on that particular day did just what was expected of it. When we got to the seventeenth hole we were all square, which was really wonderful considering who my opponent was, and the thought that I stood a chance- of Jeating. the redoubtable Bobby made me quite excited. I walked rather nervously up to the tee, for a very tricky short hole of about 175 yards.

If I could only do it in one! I took my pet iron and let go, scarcely daring to hope. My caddy gave a yell, Bnd the others standing round cheered wildly. I had done, a hole in one! And I had also beaten Bobby Jones." "Splendldl" I exclaimed. "Yes," agrftl the Judge dryly, "Then, of course, I woke up!" I think, too, that Harrison Johnston and Francis Ouimet Would be perfectly logical; two of the most conscientious golfers in the world, who would rather work their heads off and break their hearts for the team a smart. experienced and veteran combination which should be as tough as any on our side for the British to crack.

THIS, in the original IVieup. would leave Jones and George Volgt. and that, too, seems a good combination. Voigt never has played in a Walker cup match, but he is a seasoned campaigner; steady and good-tempered under fire. This being the case, and Sweetser being out of the picture, I fancy the following may be the lineup in the foursomes match at Sandwich on MayM5: -Jones and MacKenzie.

Johnston and Ouimet. Von Elm and Voigt. Willing and Moe. This is Just a guess, of course. But it looks to me like a thoroughly good side.

Incidentally, the British will have ten men available-eight regulars and two alternate, and one of our alternates already has been mibntltuted, and the other, Maurice McCarthy, cannot make the trip. So we shall have no substitutes to offer, after reaching the United Kingdom. I hone none of our side sprains an ankle or picks op a tack. AAH WAS A SWfcU- QRCAIA IUD 2p ob.

His latest is Guy (Joe)- Bush, right-handed pitcher who won 19 games and lost seven in helping the Cubs win the National league championship last season. Bush has been sent to a hospital for observation and probably will not be available for duty for at least two weeks. He suffered an injury to his pitching arm In the home opening series.

Loss of weight, however, caused McCarthy to order him away for medical attention. Bush follows Gabby Hartnett, Rogers Hornsby and Lester Bell as destroyers of McCarthy's peace of mind.
