The Cleveland Indians' "problem child," Bob Feller, hopes his troubles are over tor a while. With his arm back in shape, Manager Steve O'Neill hopes to send the farm boy to the mound every five days it the arm will stand It. the location best suited lor ciusy observation of the match and for Importnnt technical actions on the parts of the famous golfers. Bobby Jones' expert suggestions follow: First, with regard to selecting locations for observation. Ilo not place yourself too close to the player you choose to watch. The action la so rapid that Utile ran be seen from close range. At a distance of fifty or a hundred feet, or even more, you will he able to see all the Important movements of the stroke, and relate Ihcm more nearly In llielr proper order. If the rrowtl Is large and you are nnahle to find a suitable location for one shot, walk ahead to the green or the next lee and place yourself as you desire. Make It a point to study each player from several different an glrs from his front, at right angles to the play, from behind the shot being played, from the player's rear, again nt right angles to the play, and from a location down the fairway on either side. The mannerisms of the players will cause their swings lo ap pear vastly different. But In Im portant respects their methods will be Identical. These are the fundamentals and It Is thte which should be studied. Some of them ore: 1. The hock swing will start bark In a broad sweep. At first the head of Ihe club will travel close to the ground. There will he no suggestion that It Is being picked up or lifted. In slow mo tion, the action will appear lo originate In the center of the player's body, and, following the turn of his trunk, the club will be pushed back by the left side. Knowing this, perhaps your eye will he able to follow II. 3. From your locution behind the shut being played, you may easily observe that the path of the cluhliead never passes beyond an Imaginary line from the hole through the bal. In other words, unless he Is plating an Inten tional slice, the player will never allow his club to move out so far that It must approach the hall from outside this line. You must try to see how this Is made possible by Initiating the down swing by the liiinlmlliig of the hips. . 3. You will see also tlm !iiee players do not throw the cluh head with the hands from the top of the swing. Yon will note that their wrists remain rocked at nlmost Ihe full angle until their hands have moved down approximately to the level of (heir waists. You will see that the right elbow returns to the side of the trunk almost as soon as the downswing gets under way. 4. Apart from details, you will recelte general Impressions, many of which are of value. Y'ou will notice that these men hnhl them selves up to the ball as they hit It. They never fall back upon their rlcht Icrs. As a re TRAVEL EAST onone otthts? W-DFOTCT) ttXTt. ourney by 2 r 0 No - Hit sult, their clubs never come up abruptly after striking the ball. In every case, the ore of the swing Is flot near the bottom as the elubhead goes out towards the hole, or, If an Iron Is used, rips up the turf In front of the original location of the hall. 5. Yuu will observe that all of the players display a similar rhythm a leisurely backswlng, an unhurried stnrt down, smooth acceleration during the hitting stroke, leading to a culmination of effort Immediately prior to contact. 1 have known many golfers to be greatly Improved merely by catching this rhythm, without worrying themselves with more elusive details.

Chandler Egan memorial fountain dedication, hundreds of golf enthusi asts will be witnessing a quartet that is rated the cream of the world's pro fessional dlvot-dlgglng brigade. Probably the best known Is Law son Little, the former Stanford uni versity student who. while he was still attending the Palo Alto Insti tution, copped the British amateur championship and came back to America to win this country's na tional amateur. That was Id 1934. The next year, Little did what no other golfer In history had ever done - before him he again shot his way to both the British and American national amateur championships. It was the repeat "double slam," one of golfdom's greatest feats, and It assured Lawson Little of a position on golf's roll of honor for all time to oome. Following the banner sea son. Little turned professional and is at present one of the leading money winners of the year. Long Driver. Other titles won by Little include the Canadian open of 1037 and the 1937 San Francisco match play tour nament In which the world's greatest competed. Next to Jimmy Thomson. Little is considered the longest driver In the world. Teamed with Little In the exhibi tion match will be Llghthorse Harry Cooper, also one of the big money winners of 1936, and winner of the Los AJigeles, Houston and St. Peters burg opens. Cooper averaged 71 36 strokes per round In many tourna ments last year to finish second In the Bendlx cup ratings. Jimmy Thomson, while he has never won a major tournament. Is considered by experts and other golf ers as the longest hitter of a golf ball In the world. Many of his tee shots travel 300 and more yards. He was runner-up In the 1936 National P. O. A. tournament and also runner-up In the 1937 Charleston open. Smith Money Player. Thomson's partner will be the fam ous Horton Smith, who won more money last year than any other pro fessional on earth. He boasts an out standing tournament record and, next to Bobby Jones, Is probably the finest shot-maker of all time. In the demonstration at 11 a. m. Sunday, Smith will explain the shots while Little. Thomson and Cooper will put his words Into action. Upwards of 1500 spectators are ex pected to follow the quartet on Its 18-hole Journey over the excellent fairways of the Rogue Valley Qol club.
