Second baseman Lin Storti put the nightcap on Louisville's defeat when he snapped up a line drive which he made good for a double play. The last batter fanned. Minneapolis hit three Louisville pitchers, Jim and Monte Weaver and Bud Parmelee, 16 times, while the Colonels hit Kelly, Haefner and Tauscher 11 times. Louisville had ho. errors, Minneapolis, one. The Toledo Mud Hens made] their three runs in the first two! innings, and although Kansas City| scored one run in the third, it was | unable to overcome the lead.

Colum- | bus got 11 hits off Milwaukee's De- | shong and Dickinson and the Brew- | ers hit Barrett five times. Columbus was charged with one error; Milwaukee two in the apener. ‘The Brewers took advantage of three Columbus errors and piled up a lead in the first few innings to avenge their earlier defeat. Curlee, Hader and Lowery pitched for Co-| lumbus, while Marrow pitched for the Brewers.

Washington’s Continentals, who maintained possession of the South Central Conference toga over the week-end, will go into the Southport sectional along with Manual and teams from Johnson, Shelby and Hancock counties, The Continental's victory was of the one-sided wvaviety, with only Shelbyville within yelling distance. | Washington scored T78'2z points, Shelbyville, 31; Seymour, 27; Rush[ville 2112 and Greensburg, 5. Billy Howard of Washington and Tom Tracey of Seymour, a pair of (double winners, were the outstand|ing soloists in the record-shatter-[ing affair. Altogether eight new records were posted.

Al Collins demonstrates the correct stance for putting. Note that the ball is played directly off the left foot, and most of the weight is on the left leg. The player will find that his putts will be more accurate if he plays them off the left toe rather than off the center of his body.

leaves less chance for error in judging the angle.” Collins explained that there are in general two kinds of putt—the “firm” and the “dying.” The firm is one in which the club provides all the impetus in sending the ball toward the cup. In the “dying” the club gives the ball the start and the slope of the green carries the pellet along. When playing greens that are not, perfectly level, Collins points out, the golfer must decide whether he will use a “firm” ‘or “dying” putt and stroke the ball accordingly. Even on no set rule on

level greens there is how much of a “This depends on and texture of the greens,” Collins said. “It's something that can be settled only by practice.” As a final word on the importance of ‘putting, Collins cites advantage 8 proficient putter has, “Nothing so unnerves an opponent in competitive play as the holing of “im-

Here is the correct form on the putting backswing. The hands are operating as a hinge, with the left dominating here and the right pushing the club through and following the ball toward the Collins warns that the putter face should never be turned away from the hole.

Collins serves as pro at the St. Augustine, Fla. links during the winter, where the National ProAmateur Championship was re= cently played. Winners were Horton Smith and Bud Ward, national amateur champion.

“Smith and Ward, I believe, won their final match as the result of Horton's putting on one hole,” Collins said. “Both their opponents were on this green and near the hole in two, while Smith's tee shot put him in a bunker beyond the hole. Ward was in a situation just as difficult. “Smith exploded a second shot that barely was on the green, and Ward almost duplicated his part-

ner's performance, Ward putted

first and missed. Then Horton lined up a 35-foot cup shot and proceeded to sink it. “As a result, their opponents, who had believed they would win the hole, were fortunate to halve it. until two or three holes later, while Smith and Ward seemed to gain confidence as the match proceeded and, you might say,
