Denver pro, continued to head the pack today in the annual Rocky Mountain goif tourney. Koennecker was long off the tees in today's second round but his iron play and putting faued to match his performance of yesterday. He carded a 34-36 70 which gave him a total of 134. six strokes under par for the first 36 holes. Yesterday the eood looking veteran shot a 64 to get off to a fast start.

Best score registered in second round play was that of Denver's Gene Root, also a professional. He toured the Lincoln park course in 67, three under par, to pull up into third place in the running. Al Besselink. pro from Merchants-ville, N. fired a 68 to move into second spot with a 137 for the first two rounds.

The final will be played tomorrow over the 18-hole route. AMERICAN LEAGUE SPORTSJ The whole object of gold instruction. I think, is to make the swing so simple that it will work itself if left alone. I probably have knocked myself out of some cham pionships by messing up my lWasm swing with think- strait, ing or tmngs at the wrong time instead of Just battling that ball simply. About as simple a beginning of golf as a fellow can get is the straight left arm idea.

When fellows especially younger fellows take a full swing with a good club, they don't do so bad. I have seen fellows at driving ranges who've never been on a golf course in their lives, hammer out 225-vard drives with reasonable reg-ularitv. Then I see the same type of fellows on public courses take iron clubs and get the idea that they have to be cute and tricky with the shots that don't call for full power. Thtv are terrible because they try to steer the clubhead into the ball instead of keeping the left arm so straight that the clubhead will have to stay at the end of a full arc. On those shorter shots, if youH keep vour left arm so straight that the clubhead won't sneak out of its groove, youll reduce your score.

GT Billy Southworth, manager on sick leave from the Boston Braves, is going back to the Hub City next year.
