GRASPING THE CLUB
BY BEST BALL Possibly the foremost advocate
of the interlocking grip is Gene Sarazen and a glance at his record · will convince even the most cred- ulous that there must be merit to it. The above illustrations de- monstrate just how Gene grasps the club. Before he assumes his -hold with the left hand, the club- head is aligned at right angles to the ball, and his stance adjusted to conform to it.
The shaft of the club lies diagonally across the left palm, the little finger of the right hand in-. terlocked with the forefinger of the left so that when the grip is finished, the V's of the forefinger and thumbs point toward the right shoulder. Sarazen's left hand is well on top of the shaft when closed with two knuckles visible, and the right hand, were the palm open, would face the hole. While a maximum of power can be and is generated by the left hand in this position, Sarazen stresses right hand hitting.

In the Junior Shield final, the 30th R.A. thoroughly deserved their victory. over the Royal Engineers by 2-1 after leading by 1-0 at the interval.
The Engineers played without Mox- ham, their brilliant goal-keeper who was still on the injured list, whilst Shaw, centre-half, has not yet fully recovered from an injury sustained at cricket.
Flanders scored for Gunners in first half and increased the lead after the interval.
Fox scored for Sappers."
