Sandy Herd's "Golfing Life," as_ told to Clyde Foster, cannot but entertain the golfer, and at the same time provide him with many valuable hints. Here are a few extracts from his instruction chapter Balance is the first essential m golf. Lo cure topping and other evils keep the right leg firm at the top of the swing, and only let it go after hitting the ball. Throw the right hand straight after the ball like a piston-rod as if you were hitting the actual ball and an imaginary ball ten inches in front of it. Never attempt to hit the ball unless you teel easy and comfortable on your feet. The way to hit the ball is to bring the club-head to it in front of the hands, not a great way in front, but just a few inches, so as to "swipe'' it away. Wait for the wrists to come into position the top of the swing; this is a guiding principle Grip easily at the top of the swing to maintain flexibility of the wrists. In quest of more length; come through quicker, but still smocihly. Throw the club-head atter the ball with a quick snap of the wrists. There is a danger of losing power by laying the right hand too far oyer the shaft. lo cause the ball to swerve to the left in a cross wind there should be a slight turn of the wrists and the right hip at impact, AccorDING to an_ interview with a representative of the San Francisco "Chronicle, Miss Helen Barnes, whom Shanghai folk will remember as one of the Far Eastern Players, who toured the Orient during the autumn and winter, received no fewer than 51 proposals of marriage on the tour.
