major league club owners, in addition
to many others who aro not burdened
or blessed with a major league fran
chise, havo announced their candidates
for the chairmanship of the national

to recall just who elects the chnirmaii

president of the National League, today
sent out this admonition to the boomers
of respective candidates:
"It might bo well for some persona
to recall that the national agreement
still is In force. The national agree
ment provides the exact manner In which
the chairman of the national commission
is to be elected. It says ho shall b
elected annually by the presidents of the
National und American Leagues,"

LATE PENN RALLY
OST of my golf shot
is the part AFTER
I hit it."
Thin i the nut
shell of the golf
plncill MissMil
drid (,'ueily. whose
brilliant piny took
her to the finals
for the chumpion-
e shin of the United
States in lillO, and whose only weak
ness, the experts find, is her mnsbic
play.
With jvooden shots, pnrticularly.brab
sies und spoon shot through the fair
way, there ure few women players who
can outdistance Miss Cincrly, or play
them any strniehtcr.
Tho whole bhot, from top of back
swing to full finish of the shot, is shown
in the illustrations.
"First of nil, ur giip?" we com
menced. "I use what is called the two-V
grip." replied Miss Caverly. "I hold
my shaft firmly with both hands, my
thumbs being slightly around the shaft
forming the Vs."
Miss t'uverly takes u square stance,
that is.. with th'e bull off the center of
the body. Keep the right arm in and
the left arm as straight as possible, at
tne top of. tne uack swing, she saw, wltn
the right forearm supporting the club.
"The right knee must be abbolutely
straight." continued Miss Cavcrly,
"through the backswiug and as the
cliibhead comes back and down it is of
the greatest importance to keep it
toward the ball instead of'tiirning It up.
Many u Nhot has been spoiled by turn
ing the face of the club away from the
ball coming back, for it is bound to be
wrong coming down."
Miss Cuvcrly said that the thing she
strove most to do when seeking distance
was to time the shot just right, that is.
getting the clubhead into the ball before
the hands.
This is well illustrated iu the illus
tration showing the club coming down
into the shot nt the height of the hips.
This is the point, after the clubbcud
has been "thrown" out by the hands
from the top of the buckswine. when the
clubhead is beginning to "bent" the
hands. Figure 3, incorrect position, is
moment when club should break into its
greatest speed. The club is too fur
down. "If a player has snapped the
wrists at this point," said Miss Cavcrly,
"the hands will beat the clubhead to
the ball, tho speed "is lost and tho club
is dragged into the shot." The left
hand and arm should pull the club
through with the right guiding nnd
straightening, as shown in tho picture
just after the bull is struck. In the
latter illustration it would be seen that
if a line were to be dropped from the
hands to the ground that the clubhead
would be well in advance of this line.
"But," stated Miss Cavcrly. "it l
just a fraction before this point, tin
imperceptible second of the clubhead it
contact with the ball, thut I try to pu
everything I have Into the shot, in othei
words, after it- is struck. It is then
that I put all the strength of my fore
arms, wrists aud shoulders into thi
swing. It is the essence,' of the shot.
"In other words," I contend that the
main part, und most important in tin
whole bhot, is in the play after the bal,
is actually struck."
