It was interesting to follow the re- sult of each game. At the end of the first the Gold Star was leading by one pin and at the end of the second they were 26 up. In the next game the Tulsa reduced the lead by 3 pins but Gold Star forged ahead in the next and took the lead to 40 pins.. Tulsa, who were making a great effort to save the match, tried hard but lost by 18 pins.

BY BEST BALL One might think a golfer as husky as Jimmy Thomson would be inclined to be muscle bound but one look at his fluid swing would convince one otherwise. Observe his backswing, illustrated above, for example and you can readily see the extreme body turn he takes in the stroke, his body under perfect control and balance throughout. At this point Thom- son's back is square to the line of flight, the clubhead dipped con- siderably below the horizontal, This gives him such a wide are that even by gradual acceleration of the clubhead on the down- swing, terrific momentum can be and is developed by the time the actual impact stage is reached. At the finish of one of this typical- ly long drives, Thomson's body is facing the line of flight at right angles.
