To certify our thoughts on Sunday we asked Jimmy MacDonald. one of the best pitchers on the island in his day. what he thought Ronnie's secret was. Jimmy confirmed our sun plcions by ' it up in one word "control". "Ronnie." said Jimmy. "knows where he wants to throw a baseball. and he can put it there." He seldom feeds a better the same pitch twice. He pitches for the fringes of the strike zone and has the ability to get it

TIPS ON GOLFING Whip Action In

..By ALEX MORRISON... .. Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist All essential of a good drive. tron shot or a putt. is having the clubhead travelling at an ever- lncreaslng speed as it strikes the ball. This is a mark of a con- sistently successful player. Like- wise the absence of this essential marks the performance of most

golfers. .

it is manifested in striking the ball with much less than neces- sary force or accuracy. Generally the player is not lined up in positions or movements to swing the club with accelerating speed through the ball. other players fall to do so through fear. -In every case it will help to have a bet- ter picture of what is correct through the bottom of the swing.

in the correct backswlng and downswing for whipping the club through the boil it is both simple and effective to think of the back- swing as a folding of the club backward in relation to your left arm. Also to think of the club and left arm as unfolding in the down- swing. Properly executed the told- ing in the backswing starts gra- dually after the club is moved back from the ball with most of the action occuring as the wrists bend at the end of the wlndup. The same order of movements oc- curs In the downswing with most of the unfolding taking place just before the left arm reaches the ball.

As you first think of this and look at the late unfolding shown in the accompanying photo Y0!-I may wonder how the club can be brought into the proper position at impact. It is done through the whipping action of your left arm and hands.

Picture yourself as having a whip instead of a club in your left hand. Though the snapper end of the whip would be far behind your left hand as you whipped catch up with your hand when you reached your target.

Just as the speed of the whip snapper makes it cut and sting so whipping the club develops the elubbesd speed that means strik- ing force and accuracy.

Curious Moose Wanders To Town

NEW LISKEARD. Ont. lCPl- A curlous moose ran into a star- tled snd inhospitable reception Sunday when he wandered into town.

The young animal was first seen inlthe hospital grounds. A dog started yelping after him and sev eral others joined the chase as the moose legged it through back yards toward the centre of town

Citizens swerved their cars to follow the chase. Police followed too.

Mrs. Caron Plaunt heard the excitement. opened the front dent of her home. and saw the moose six feet away. She slammed the door in its face.

The moose veered away from the Plaunt home, with dogs. clti zens and police still in pursuit. He ran into a baseball game. Be- fore the Itartled umpire could even call time. the moose appar- ently declded he had had enough.

He headed quickly for the hills leaving his entourage behind him.
