THE FOLLOW THROUGH l Gett ng the c'.ubhead to meet the! ball properly is only half the shot.' You cannot just let the c’.ubhead fail on the baV: you must hit through itjl too. Before starting the follow i through you must feel the clubhead ,1 on the ball and you must have in 'i mind the front part of the imaginary i direction line, as shown in my cen-,1 tral picture. Keep going with rythm. I Don't let go of the fo'low through, t The clubhead should pant right for t the follow through. Be sure to re- J member the first two or three feet | after the ball is struck for it is the 1 little line to follow to the point out < In front; then the clubhead hands i should he called or brought in by 1 throwing the cJubhead completely! over the deft shoulder. Sometimes it t is well to lengthen your follow I through along this line thence the 1 clubhead should follow up naturally. l into a full follow through. |* l The right hand shoud go under for t Ithr’ee feet. Avoid bringing the hands I up too abruptly. Study the position f of hands and left knee in the right I 'n'cture. tl shows these points well. f 1 Let them go out just far enough for- ( 1 ward before putting them in towards I you to allow for the gathering of the 5 stroke on the up stroke. The action ’ of the left knee is very important. 1 You must come up on the follow ‘ through with the left knee braced back. This helps you to make the 1 clubhead go through the ball. Send ' the hands up with the shot at the ' finish. Try to make a good complete , finish even if there is a bad start. , The proper finish finds the arms , doubled up in front. Aim toward a higher follow through. Nearly everyone stops his follow through too soon. Try to get a sense of zip at contact Get a litti'e more click to the shot. (Copyright John F.

AMERICA LEADS IN TENNIS MEET America’s Title To Wightman International Cup Seems Assured New York, Aug. 13.—(United Press America’s title to the Wightman international tennis cup seemed assured today after the opening day’s matches at the fashionable West Sid Forest Hi’.ls clubs. The standing: United States 2. Great Brita'n 1. The United States women won two singles matches with one surprise and lost a doubles match with no surprise beause it has been long accept'd that the British and French players know more about tennis double matches than Americans do. One thing stood out: Texßickard certainly was not a sucker when he allowed Charley Pyje to make professionals out of the sacred tennis amateurs. There probably wasn't enough money in the house to pay for the hired help. After reporting a couple of heavyweight fights that were followed with arguments about —"was it fair or foul?” It shou’d be an interesting and satisfying assignment to get to work on a polite sport Like tennis. ! But, tennis is so polite that the I newspapermen were told that they I would have to sit back where the ! sitting wasn’t so good and where the seeing was terrible because the British girls couldn’t lie annoyed by noise of typewriters and telegraph (keys. However, Miss Ho'en Wills and Mrs. Molla MaZlory annoyed the visiting ladies more than the noise of the writers. Miss Wills, playing the greatest tennis of her career, toyed witli Miss | .loan Fry, a comely London girl, and 'defeated her in the opening match at 6-2 and 6-0. In the second match. Mrs. Malta I Me.'lory, the current American champion. proved the sensation of the day when she defeated Mrs. Kathlene McKane. Gjdfree, the No. 1 ranking ! British player at 6-4 and 6-2. — o ■* ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ (By United Press) Jim Bottomley, first baseman of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, drove*his team into a tie with Pittsburgh for second place in the National League when he homered in the eleventh inning to give St. Lottis a 2-1 victory over Pittsburgh.

Haines permitted but four hits while the Cardinals tapped Hill for six including two doubles, a triple and a home run. Roger Hornsby drove out his eighteenth home run of the season with the bases filled in the eighth inning to start a rally that gave the Giants a 10-inning 7-6 victory over Brooklyn. One additional run was scored in each the ninth and tenth inn'ngs. Ty Cobl) and Zach Wheat divided eight of th" 1 fifteen hits the Philadelphia Athletics got and the Mackmeri defeated Boston 7-1. Ten thousand boys were guests of the Atb.’etics. Detroit scored its third successive v‘ctory over St. Louis 7-3. The scout was knotted until the eighth inning when the Tigers scored four runs to assure victory. The Boston Braves defeated Philadelphia 12-6 in a hard hitting game gave them a three out of four count for the series. , ♦*♦♦+*♦♦♦++++♦+♦ + SPORT TABS ♦ ■!- + + + 4- + + + + + + + f + + Columbus, O—Kansas City made it five out of six with Columbus, hitting the senator offerings for seventeen safeties and winning 11 to 5.
