In this the right knee not only is dfawn inward during the address, but the hips move forward with it. This move- ment is in the direction line. Then, starting the back swing, the hips move to the right in a straight line, the right leg straightens up and the clubhead moves backward, low to the ground, in a straight line away from the ball--a fine way to start the back swing. This promotes rhythm, the most necessary thing in the swing, and it gives that "whip cracker effect" that stings the ball solidly. /OUT OUR WAY, | | | apolis ab. of the | JOE WILLIAMS SAYS | In the case of Mr. Ruth it appears the bigger they are the harder they flu.

It is rather & dificult task to get an accurate line on a club's real worth from spring exhibition games. The world champions, Washing- ton, is a good ball club, but In its exhibition games, particularly against the Giants. The Washington club's pitching was far from right during the spring. y | The veteran twirlers have condition- | ed slowly. It is just possible that Manager Harris may be up against it during the first month of the race | due to pitching.

While admitting he liked to win every ball game he played, whether exhibition or not, Harris said he was not going to hurry any of his veter- ans, pitchers in particular. "No matter what the outcome of the spring series with the Giants, we are still the world champions," said Harris, "that event is decided In the fall, . "Fandom isn't going to judge the Washington club on what it does in the spring exhibition games, but upon its showing in the American League. "You can't win a pennant in the spring. It takes six months to put it over. It is apparent to me that my club is going to start slowly and I am prepared for early reverses in exhibition games most of all." There is no denying the fact that Stanley Harris is a wise young man. His dope that the fans judge you on the regular season, rather than ex- hibition games, is a matter of record. - - Upset Dope, 'Well do I remember one year that the Detroit club made a sensational showing in the spring games. The fans looked for a big season, a prob- able pennant. The moment the season opened PN ------------ the club slumped, batting in particu- lar. The Tygers appeared to have left all their base hits in the south. While I cannot recall the exact figures, the Detroit club won only about two out of the first 15 games played. This was most disappoint- ing after the sensational play in the gouth. The Detroit fans were loyal, how- ever, stuck with the Tygers until they emerged from the slump and Were rewarded with a great come- back by that club. . . . There have been other cases where certain clubs couldn't win in the spring only to go big the moment the regular race began, Maybe Washington will do that very thing.
