The National Open champion, although always a fine golfer, has reached the top spot over the harder way. He has had to fight off the bitterest type of luck, and found his path forward and upward largely through intelligent study in the matter of improvement, and this has helped to outfit him for helping others and giving sound advice. A Few Methods Just what does Champion Wood mean by simpler or more direct methods? "In the first place," Craig said, "I can give you only a brief outline here. I expect to take the matter up in much greater detail later on. "One main point Is the matter of how the club's face comes through the ball. There was a day in golf when everything was pronation and the open face. I am now a firm believer in swinging through the ball with a squared or closed face which simply means keeping the club face square to the line of flight. "I am also a firm believer now in putting the main burden on the hands, wrists and arms not the hips or the body. The less work the latter do, the better off you are. "Just watch Byron Nelson, in my opinion the finest golfer we have from tee to green. See how simple his swing looks.

Estelle Why not? Marion It's so hard to keep from telling the folks what I've bought for them. THAT'S "Trying for a shorter cut to lower scoring," Wood said, "we began to find that one answer was the squared or shut face. One exception to this is Ben Hogan, who takes a much deeper or fuller swing than anyone else. Ben weighs only 135 pounds, so he has to use a much longer arc to get those big drives. And distance off the tee means a lot in golf today. You can't keep using number two irons and number four woods trying to hit a green against an opponent using number five and four irons. crocheters have gone into partnership with fashion on a vast scale this sea- "Say, old man, I'd like son. Now that the movement is on, women who crochet or knit are finding the per fect answer to their Christmas gift problems in these erstwhile "homely arts" which, this season, have come triumphantly into their own. The play of imagination brought to bear in interpreting the theme in modern costume design is winning the admiration of the fashion world. One of the happiest outcomes of the present craze for things knitted is intriguing hat and bag sets like the stunning twosome shown to the left in the illustration.

In golf it has become the mother or father of improvement. I'll tell you about this part of it. Anywhere from fifty to a hundred of the world's finest playing pros move from Florida to California, then back across Arizona, Texas and Louisiana to Florida again. It is a desperate struggle to break even, even if you win a few. I've made as much as $2,500 on one of these winter tours, which left me a profit of maybe $200. "Then we began to find that par wasn't nearly good enough. You'd average par for four rounds and finish tenth or twelfth. We began to discover that you had to beat par by six or maybe eight strokes to win. Naturally, everyone began to try out certain experiments. None of us could afford to stand pat on what we had. We just had to get better or finish one of these tours anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 out of our pocket. "One of the first things I had to do was improve my putting. There never was a golfer great enough to win while putting poorly. I did this by finding a more comfortable balance and by going more into the pendulum idea.

His consecutive hitting streak this season started May 15 with a single off Edgar Smith of the Chicago White Sox and continued until July 18 when the string was broken by Cleveland Pitchers Al Smith and Jim Bagby. The selection wasn't a simple matter. After all, Bob Feller's 25 pitching victories for the Cleveland Indians were high in the league. Boston's Ted Williams outstripped Cecil Travis of Washington, his nearest rival for the batting title, by 47 points. Williams hit .406. Fifteen of the 24 committeemen for the baseball writers cast first place votes for Joe and the other nine approved him for second. Eight committeemen nominated Williams for first, 14 for second and two for third. Feller was named by 14 for third place, six for fourth, one for fifth, two for sixth and one for seventh. DiMaggio played for the San Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast league for three full seasons and part of 1932. He was sold to the Yankees for $25,000 and five players in 1934 but did not join the New York club until two years later, lie has been a member of the American league game squad every year since he came to the majors. Though the price paid for Joe wasn't peanuts, the Yankees consider it one of the best investments ever made by the club. His value to the world champions can't be measured solely by statistics. His hitting streak meant a great deal more than is evidenced by the record book. CLASSIFIED youth-inspire- d Here is an account of a man mar- rying a woman he had known only one day."
