HINTS FOR ASSISTANCE OF GOLFER

like fencing and other sports in which
the stroke demands great nicely of
aim. demands that the poise of the
body be reCioned as Of the utmost i'm
pCrtance.
Driving with the ball well forward
and driving with il rs far back as
possible have each certain advantages,
but neither is the slightest good IN
less the player is standing so that the
natural position of the hands, that pO-
sition into which they Will fall at the
lowest point of the stroke. is exactly
opposite the ball Ii is hardly neces-
sary to prove that it IS when the hands
are in this natural position that the
blow attainS its greatest force.
In theory it is quite sufficient that
the body should be properly balanced
at the moment Of striking the ball.
Accordingly swaying the body is not
necessarily fatal 10 n good shot. In
practice. however. the case is rather
different. because when Il player sways

club the chances are against him sway

gree in the down stroke. In any case.

One of the few canons of golfng
style which no hereto has yet dared
| to dispute is that which advises the
player to stand with his ball more
nearly in line with his right toe as the
distance to be covered by the shot
| diminiSheS
Nowadays almost every one drives
with the ball opposite a spot halfway
! between his heels or even two or three
! inches in front. But he plays his
cIeel shots with the ball farther back
and in approach play usually stands so
| that the bail is almost opposite his
right heel
All this is most orthodox. But it is
! somewhat less usual to inquire why it
| should be So However, does not the
! answer to this make plain the whole
| problem of stance, which is simply
! a matter of equilibrium and depends
! upon one simple rule-however you
stand. you must have your weight
| so distributed that your center of grav-
| ity is opposite the ball at the moment
of hitting it?
The reason is not difficult to see, and
| perhaps it may be a source of en-
| lightenment as well as help TO have
| brought again TO the notice of those
| golfers who are in the habit of pulling
or sicing badly one fundamental idea
An ordinary golf club is constructed
so that if the ban is to be hit square
ly the shaft must ut that moment of
impact be at right angles to the direc-
ton in which the player wishes his
bali TO travel-that is to say. the play
er's hand must be opposite the ball.
II they are not the club face. as it
comes in contact with the bail. cannot
possibly he ut right angles 10 the line
of fight. and a Slancing blow result
ing in pull or slice is the inevitable
result
1t is easy. however. for Il golfer to
prove for himself how the natural po-
sition of the hands in holding any
two handed weapon, such as a golf
club. depends upon the distribution Of
the weight of the body Let him
clasp his hands in front Of him. then
shift his weight on to his left foot and

the position is one of constraint in
which a powerful stroke is impossi-
BILE
1t is this factor which makes it so
awkward to play from an uneven or
insecure stance. The players weight
has to be distributed differently from
usual owing to the necessity of obtain
ing a firm footing. and. the natural po-
sition of his hands being thus altered
TO play his ordinary stroke becomes
impossible. Every golfer has expert
enced the fact that where some hillOck
or hollow in the ground prevents him
from resting the same proportion of
weight as usual upon each foot. though
the stance is otherwise the same. he
feels that he simply cannot play the
stroke according to his accustomed
method. Often he is constrained 10
play in some fashion quite untried and
with complete success. because. as we
must know, the most important thing
is not that he should stand in a par
ticular way, but that stance and swing

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
CONSIDERS DRAINAGE
Eusaneer Seth Dean PILES Report
showing Satisfactory PrOEress
Along Boyer.

The boards OF county supervisors OF Pot
tawatamie and Harrison counties held
joint session yesterday for the purpose of
considering matters connected with joint
drainage ditch work that has been in
progress for several years. Engineer Seth
Dean filed his monthly report of the work,
showing satisfactory progress all along the
line. The work of enlarging and deepening
the Boyer cutoff channel was nearly com
pleted and will be finished before the
joint board meets again. He said II Is
now certain that more money would be re-
quired than was provided for in the origl-
nal levy and recommended additional
levy OF 500 to complete the work ordered,
specifying the amount required for each
part of the general ditch system.
In addition the board ordered a levy OF
5000 on the property benefited by the
Boyer sub-dltch No. l as an additional
levy to be assessed on the same general
classification. This money, which was
recommended some time ago. is to be used
Tor the general purpose of maintenance,
and will only be drawn required
The engineers report indicated that the
ditch system had proved throughout a
greater benefit than was even at first
anticipated. The report stated that Con-
tractor Weatherby had practically com
plated his work on the Timber creek lateral
and would have II finished before the board
met again Contractor Hoey has been
steadily working on the Orr lateral and
