and found that the CUTIE travelled as far

the quite suggest. he says. that a club
with an elastic face will drive a non-elastic
bail as well as a hard-faced club will drive
an elastic one, with the advantage that the
former is infinitely the better Of the two
on the putting green.
Sir Ralph then experimental with a per-
fectly smooth ball and found that 1t ducked
in "A most extraordinary manner and sell
dom carried more than eighty yards and
was a total failure for putting. He then
engaged Edward Ray. the we'll known
British professional. TO try out the smooth
ball. Ray, who has a reputation as a long
driver. could not drive the smooth ball
over 100 yards. Sir Ralph then nicked the
smooth ball slightly with the point of a
knife. the hicks one-third Of an inch apart,
and the ball flew splendidly for well over
200 yards each time from the machine and
actually out-distanced the ordinary balls,
Later on he put more hicks in between
those previously made. but found that this
treatment not only reduced the length OF
flight by several yards, but caused the ball
to soar too much upward when projected
against a head wind.
In this connection Sir Ralph states the
surface OF the average golf ball is too
rough. He suggests a ball with slightly
raised lines intersecting its surface, with
spaces between the lines where they inter
sect, which would resemble in pattern the
network on the outside of a melon.
Center of Gravity D~isIOcated.
None OF the rubber cored balls were cor
rect as to their centers of gravity, though
some were much more incorrect than
others, nor were any of them truly spher-
ical in shape. When placed In a basin OF
water the same small part OF each ball
always floated upward clear of the water.
The center of this spot he marked with a
pencil and however roughly the balls were
rolled in the water the same spot came
up. AS to the spherical shape of the balls
-this was demonstrated by means OF a par
allel wise or caIipers set just wide enough
TO let a ball pass between its jaws. A ball
would just pass through the jaws in one
position, but would not do so when it was
| turned around into another. This was the
case with all the balls except the gutties.
Sir Ralph then tested the various balls
for accuracy of roll in putting. This was
lone by means of a chute at one end of a
billiard table, arranged so that a bal
would just run TO the rail at the other
end OF the table, hitting a thimble an inch
or two short OF it. Allowing each ball sew
eral series Of twenty tries at the thimble,
| they individually seldom hit It more than
three or four times in a series, some OF
the balls, particularly those with the most
incorrect center of gravity, wandering off
as much as two feet to the right or left
of the mark. The CUTIE, however, was a
notable exception, as In its different series

all professional oarsmen except boatmen
were eliminated, what would be the prov
ince of the boatmen? They would hang
around the boathouse and IL there we're
any little odd jobs of rigging to be done
they would do them.
They would divide with the amateur
graduate part of the responsibility for
developing the crew. II is likely tina
they would do a great deal OF advising
even though they were there only TO look
out for the boats. After all, why not go
the whole hog and have amateur boat
men as we'll? Let the crew be thoroughly
and peculiarly amateur as well as all
things connected with 1t. And then send
the crew out on the river and let it race
with a crew which had been contami-
mated by association with a professional
coach. The chances are that the faint OF
professionalism would adhere to the anna
teur coached crew only so far as the
first five or six strokes were concerned,
that is. uness the amateur coach were a
lot better than most of them are likely
10 be.
1t is more likely that there would be a
wide distance separating the two crews
at the end of four miles and unless the
wind were blowing against them the faint
of professionalism would not spread very
strongly over the amateur coached crew.
Those persons who favor amateur coach
ing will object 10 this point and say
why. that's the very thing The man
who favors the professional coach looks
only for results. He does not look at the
spirit in which the rowing is conducted
all he wants is to see his crew win, and
that is the professional idea.

Because a mans wife's relatives come

it in patience. 1t IS one Of the necessary

he was tried for assaulting his wife,
but il failed and he was fined $40.

there can Of course be but the one
answer, that the president is not a
politician, nor does his oath Of office
require him to further the fortunes or
suit the convenience of any political
party or individual clique. He was
elected as the executive of the whole
people, regardless of partisanship, and
as such he will unquestionably fulfill
public interests by making to congress
such recommendations as he deems the
situation warrants. 1t is not for con-
gress to advise him, but for him TO ad-
wise congress; and when he has fear
lessly done so, 1t will be up to the mem
bers of the national legislature to show
where they stand on his proposals.
