By O. H. Kcclcr. Leo Dicgol h our national pro fessional golfing champion, ami he seems ablo to win the Canadian open championship whenever he starts In it, and he is one of the most amiable and lovable fellows in this world. But he has the most terrible putting posture I have ever Been, except of nn otherwise dignified old gentleman who turned his back squarely to the hole and stooped over and putted backward between his feet. Leo's putting position Is so des perate and, unique that when he was playing in oue of tho Texas tournament h last winter it friend of his who Is an aviator Identified him from an attitude of 11,000 feet. When endeavoring to eajolo tho little ball Into the hole, Leo re sembles a crab more than anything elffc In nature I can think of; and mi personally he Is les of a crab than almost anyone I know. The system, such as It is, ap pears to be to get tho forearms ab solutely parallel with tho ground and the patins perfectly opposed to each other, the left elbow aiming precisely at the hole. This may not sound so involved, but you ought to see Leo get Into tho pose. When I asked him to putt for a photograph, ho told me to hurry up; ho couldn't hold It long. I have seen golfers Infinitely Inferior to Mr. Diego hold a putt ing 1okc until the match behind fancied they had been frozen or turned into a pillar of gall. "I've been putting that way for years. suys Leo. ".Sometimes it wurks well and sometimes not so well." I've noticed that about a number of other putting systems. But none so curious as that of tho national professional champion. the count to 7-3. The Sox came back with a three-run drive that sent Ifclmaeh and Wiley Moore to tho showers, lloyt stopped the rally one short of a tie. Harry llellmaun's two homo runs helped' the ..
