DUGOUT DATA--With regular league schedule winding up last night, the Oaks still have three postponed games to run. off, one each with Milton, Fergus and Waterdown . . . Harry Heard, who has been used at first and second, looks like a very use- ful addition to the club.

The local gals finished in fourth position, behind Dixie, Port Credit and Brampton. Ru and Shirley Taylor, both of whom have been holding down fielding spots for the past three years, are making their debuts as pitchers, and have been shap- ing up well. The pair will carry the twirling burden in the three- out-offive series against Port Credit. Oakville will travel to Port Credit's St. Lawrence park Saturday afternoon, and the lo- cal lassies will appreciate a full measure of spectator support. LIFTING THE LID When you find yourself clos- ing your eye to temptation, be particularly careful it doesn't turn out to be a wink. KEEP ARMS CLOSE TO BODY By ALEX J. MORRISON Author of "A New Way to Better Golf," originator of "Guaranteed Golf Instruction" ONE OF THE countless golf terms that is misleading and con- 7 fusing is "swinging from the out- side in." The term is supposed to describe the relation between the path followed by the club and the direction taken by the ball in its flight. But often it is used in connection with other things such as the way the arms move in relation to the body. This variety of uses causes plenty of trouble, for most of them are inaccurate. They blind the player about what ac- tually takes place during his swing. The best thing to do is confine the use of the term to the relation of the clubhead path to the line of play. Next, it is good to learn that the path of the clubhead should cut across the line of play from the outside, in executing such shots as intentional slices, cut shots and lofted shots. Only by having it do so can the neces- sary side spin be imparted to the ball or the required loft be at- tained in the flight. Fr YOU CAN demonstrate these things to your own satisfaction by.doing a little work with your number eight iron. To minimize your concern about lofting the ball--getting it off the ground--place it in a good lie, even raise it off the general level of the ground as if it were resting on a tee. Any attempt to scoop the ball off the ground defeats your pur- pose. Place your feet in a very. open stance so that a line drawn across the toes of both feet would be at an angle of some- thing like 45 degrees to the de- sired line of play. - In playing lofted or cut shots the path of the clubhead cuts across the line of flight from the outside due to the stdnce, not by sepa. rating arms from the body. Then, without lifting your arms: away from your body, swing the club in a decidedly up and down arc. This can be done by using plenty of wrist action in taking the clubhead up from the ball, then whipping it almost directly downward. Realize that the angle of your hips and feet in relation to the line of play provide the neces sary outside-in swing. Jarvis & Ryri J. F.
