You know, the slight lads who clean up club championships at IB and 16; break Into the sectional tournaments the next year, with im pressive results; win intercolleglato championships, and get acres of publicity in newspapers and maga zines. Suddenly but quietly you don't hear about these boys any more. Well, somo of them you do. We heard pretty good reports of' some in the national amateur at Beverly last September. But they were only a handful, out of the thousands, all over this broad land. - We were talking about the mat ter the other day with George Snr gent, new professional at East Lake in Atlanta. George Is a seri ous, thoughtful and observant stu dent of golf. And, sure enough, George had a theory. Get Slugging Itch "When tho youngster has grown lntq his 'teens under good tutelage,?' said' "George, "or with some good ex ample on which to compose his stylo, through Imitation, , he .usually will be found playing very sweet golf while his physique is stretch ing out. "He's slender and loose -Jointed, and he -is lacking in physical pow er. So. he gains his range for the big shots by ample body-turn, some times called pivoting and a pretty freedom of stroke which Is sub stantially the right way to swing at & golf' ball usually the .best way, anyhow. "Then he adds a few years and his shoulders spread out, and his anatomy is thicker and stronger and usual 1 y he acqui res an amb 1 -tion, or develops it, to hit that ball out in front of everybody. And he begins to HIT It, in capital letters. "This Is incompatible with the clean, free swing and the ample "ELIMINATE DRUDGERY" Wet Wash 4c pound.

I And the boy wonder of IS and 10 and 17 grows into the adult golfer who never seems to get anywhere, along the pathway to fame. "Only a few very few boy golfers of great promise manage by somo bit of luck or quirk of tem perament to grow into the full strength of manhood with the same free, clean golfing swing of their boyhood. These, George said, are, the great ones of earth. Doesn't Hold For Girls 1 Ho added that girls are far moro likely to bear out early promise of greatness In golf than boys. "Perhaps for two reasons," he explained. "You hear less of the kid wonders among the girls; there seem to be fewer of them, propor tionately, than the boy wonders. Those you do hear about tend more than the boys to grow to their full estate of physique without undue temptation to change their original stylo of hitting the ball. "They do not develop muscularly to the same extent as the boys. As a result they are more likely to con tinue on Into womanhood with nyuch tho same free swing and ado- quato -'pivot" as'J'whenithey1 'were learning the game irt the happy arid carefree days before championships became of exaggerated impor tance."
