Savannah's main asset is the breast,
back, and diving events. Local swim
ming critics fear the Jackets will en
ter the fight for water supremacy a*
decided underdogs, due to the en
viable reputation Boy's High is bring
ing down with them. A trio of vet

cuseAxy eaeec/se * n
ALEX MORRISON says:
One fault that all golfers have
at one time or another is that of
lifting the arms away from the
body. This fault cannot be cor
rected by swinging at a ball or
at the ground. Hence, today’s
exercise finds the club being
swung well above the oronnd.
As far back as 1918 1 made use
of an exercise in which the club
is swung like a baseball bat.
Standing erect improves body ac
tion and balance, and makes it
comparatively easy to keep the
arms close to the body.
In addition to swinging as
though the ball were about level
with the knees, you should also
make it a point to keep the club
and your hands below the level
of the right shoulder in the back
swing, and below the level of the
left shoulder at the finish.
Stand erect, with your head and
eyes up, and swing the chib back
and forth at this level and you’ll
feel increased smoothness, power
and better timing in your swing.
Practice thia exercise daily at
home and at every opportunity on
the course.

into high gear and ran a steam
roller over the highly touted Jack
sonville Tars in the North Georgia
city, by out-clouting the Tars to the
score of 8-7. Running a pinch hitter
in who rapped a single with the bases
loaded, the Tigers moved out of last

the cellar. The Indians were halted at
a standstill yesterday by a 5-5 tie
with the Columbia Senators. In :
