•| : GOLF SIMPLIFIED By Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr. I Twuw ♦ 1 stance XfcJL ii si 1 j I w-,6RiPPiw6 L . the <tt?oo,on ‘ The open stance is generally recog--1 nizc il as the best and its use is almost universal. It permits greater - j freedom in the use of the arms and I accommodates itself to every detail of the stroke better than either of 1 the other two stances. I remember once playing very poorly in a tourney and being worried indeed, and the only thing that put me back on my game was change of stance. I fount! that I was playing with my feet too straight, in fact they were almost (oo pieou-toed. I pointed my (oes out and it was just the thing needed for mv game. I now believe that the stance with the toes pointed ou ward is absolutely neces sary to teach me’ to pivot properly. Some excellent players point the toe of one foot, the left if right-handed. kc*eping the right foo; almost straight l I have reduced my game teva system, however, and right or wrong. 1 always play wiih my toes pointed out I believe among other advantages, that it helps to grip the ground with the hobnails. While I use the open stance throughout my game it varies slight- ! !y wi.h each shot, for instance the stance is almost square in the drive land what may be called wide-open in the nfashie chip shot. It is practically the sama stance, however, governed largely by a personal fee’ing of comfort. I believe strongly in uniformity of stance and stroke. Tog much energy is was ed in constantly trying for something new. (Copyright hv John F. Dille Co.) ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASEBALL STANDINGS * NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. 1- t.
