Unique Cabriolet Roadster Added To Dodge Brothers Senior Line I , | .- ■ ■■■■■..,. ■„ . ... —..——.A nr row d »

This cabriolet roadster, unique among fine motor cars, is introduced by Dodge Brothers as a companion car to the six cylinder four-door sedan which has been the subject of so much favorable comment since its introduction early this month. In the opinion of those who have had an opportunity to study the new roadster it is a worthy mate to the strik-

GOLF SIMPLIFIED By Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr. ' Right x Side NEARLY 9m J 7 FAC IMG U Hr I I-HOLE HOKE W } BODY UPRIGHT yw**k KEPT FOLLOW I 1 FAIRLY th Rous uft-— I Still direct^x/J — AT A KNEE A A braced A*r _ Tl iFiNtSH Follow-Through With Irons The right side is nearly facing the hole at the finish of the stroke. In the follow Ihrough one should feel the completed rhythm. There is a tendency to allow the right hand to turn over quickly after the ball is hit, but I find it much to my advantage to keep the right hand under a little longer. Do not stiffen after you hit the ball. The body should be kept fairly still. With these shots it may be better to send your follow through a little more outward. Brace hack the left knee at the finish. Remember this forever: the way to follow through is with your hands and wrists and not with your body. If the hands are shoved through the ball, they cannot move front there on naturally. There is a yard of the imaginary direction line in front of the ball which I always keep in mind. If I want a lower flight in a wind I follow through closer to the ground part of this line. No folk w through should start until you feel the ball solidly on the clubface. My clubhead must follow the little line in front for at least two feet, and be at right angle to it. It is well-to feel a packknife or doubling up effect at the front. Continue the rhythm until you bring your club to a full finish. I*oo long a followthrough is preferable to one that is too short. Think of playing the ideal perfect stroke! When direction is poor, try a more upright follow through. Another good idea is to remember that you should be standing up straighter on the finish. Os course, in the follow through you are still trying to use the hands as one and as they go ahead on the paralei aerial line they should be more nearly one than evei; before. (Copyright John F.

♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ (By I'nited Press) Yesterday's hero—Lou Gehrig, first baseman of the New York Yankees who went into the lead for home run honors by hitting his twenty-sixth homer of the season in the first inning of the game against Boston. i The Yankees won 7-4 for their sixth consecutive victory and for Boston’s thirteenth consecutive loss. Gehrig is now one homer up on Babe Ruth, who incidentally was on first by virtue of a single when Buster hit his blow. It is the first time | since 1922 that Ruth has been nosed out of firs place as a homo run hitter at this stage of the season. Bunching hits where they were necessary the Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2. Hal Carlson worked effectively for the Chicgoans and permitted only five hits. Washington won its eighth straight victory by defeating Philadelphia, 2-1. The last three Washington victories have been at the expense of the Mackmen. Philadelphia took the lead in the fourth but Washington scored twice in the sixth for victory. Six runs scored in the third inning enabled Detroit to win f»im Cleveland, 10-5. It was Detroit's tenth victory out of the last 11 starts. The Tigers got nine hits in three innings.
