Trick-Shot Ace

strated driving with a two-foot
and a five-and one-half foot club.
Equilibrium apparently means
nothing to Redmond who can
swat 'the egg-like pellet back
ward, sideward, cross - armed,
cross-legged—or without looking
at all.
He places two balls on top of
each other and then proceeds to
spank one out onto the fairway
while sending the other twenty
five feet straight up Into the air.
Ha then places four balls in a row
and nonchalantly drives them
into the ozone with- one swipe..
Thrifty Maneuvor
Another time he hit a ball with
the back of his driver. 'This trick
is especially for the Scotsmen who
wish to save wear and tear on the

"It's a wonder the way the
American- golfer plays the game,"

he slices and he hooks—the guys
who lay out the courses really
ought to build the roughs in the
middle."

When playing in earnest Jack
is one man who dosen't like to
fool around. He merely glances
at his lie—then• steps up and
whales away. During the ex
hibition Redmond's tee shot on
the sand-bound• par 3 number
seven hole had the misfortune
of landing smack in the middle
of a trap. •
"Oh," said a lady follower,
"I think he's just trying to show
off his trick shot."
the American League, both having
.336 averages.
Hank "Bruiser" Bauer, New
York Yankee right fielder, is the
unofficial batting leader in the
hot American League with a .366
average, but he cannot claim the
honor because of an insufficient
number of times at bat.
