Well sir, last spring — at the very beignning of this season—competent golfing friends started telling Frankie he might be national champion but his

swing was all wrong, just the same. He possessed the raw

materials to make a great golfer, they said, but he : hadn't woven : them together properly. Frankie, being a broad - minded young fellow, agreed, but figured it wouldn’t be wise to start tampering his swing

J. this week, Frankie was in the throes of changing his swing, When the popular, dark-haired lad got off a good drive it really was a jim-dandy, according to reports, and when he smacked a bad one it was definitely dubbish. However, the confidence his successful tee swings gave him seemed to be of a quality such as he never had known before. When he uncorked a wild drive he recovered with such bold accuracy that when day was done Frankie was leading the entire pack of 206 would-be qualifiers.
