Unorthodoxy May Be Worth While.

LEO DIEGEL

[By Harry Vardon.]

As one whose mission it is to teach the true golfing swing, I have to confess that unorthodoxy some times pays.

The most startling example of this truth is prosented by Leo Diegel, the American professional.

THE CHINA MAIL.

The old orthodoxy by which humanity set itself to conquer the inert solid ball has its fragrant memories and elements of value, but truly do young players appear able to do all sorts of things nowadays by means that were unthought of when the creed of golfing methods was formulated.

a personality who captures the crowds wherever he goes. For if there is one mora than any other of whom it might be said, "With a style like his, he will never do anything." that man is Diegel.

Thus may the heretics be en- couraged to rise with the word "Diegel" inscribed

and defiance in their souls.

One Thing. Right,

It is certain that Diegel's style is magnificently incorrect.

Any novice at the game can see |that, and novices always know these things, because they have read the text-books. Nearly as striking as

the considered opinion of the deathless army of foozlers is the fact that the experts give up Diegel as an insoluble riddle. Everything he does, is wrong, except that he wins, which is right. And that makes up for a lot.

How he putts so conqueringly is past all understanding, for he stands like a man who has made up his mind to get into the most uncom fortable position that the human body could be forced to assume. One of his friends in America de scribes it as "the pose of the pray ing mantis"—a zoological speci men which carries its large, thorny forelegs in the attitude of prayer.

Like Signposts.

Diegel looks to be all'arms when he bends over the ball for a putt His elbows jut out like signposta at the cross-roads, and, with the hands held close in to the pit of the

atomach, the clubhead seems somehow to be dang- ling helplessly, This impres alon is the more marked for the reason that he uses a very long putter, and holds it almost at the top of the shaft.

It contributed more than ang thing else to his victory over Abe Mitchell by nine up and eight to play in the Ryder Cup match at Móostown, Leeds, last year. That was Mitchell's one bad reverse of the season and it was really a little bit unlucky, for he had a score of 69 atrokes in the morning, and yet finished four holes down. It was certainly Diegel's putting that en abled him to lead at the end of three rounds in the British Open Cham- pionship at Muirfield that season.
