Burlington, Mar. S.--Henry Bushey
20 years cid, unmarried, resident
OF Winooski, died at o'clock this
morning in the Fanny Allen hospital
from the effects of bullet wound in

held as the only witness to the shoot
ing.
Chandler gave the first notice to
the police who hurried to the scene.
where they found Bushey unconsc-
ious with wound in his head. The
man was Immediately taken to the
Fanny Allen hospital where he died
without regaining consciousness.
Chandler declares that Bushey was
shot by an Italian.
According to the soldiers story, he
and Bushey were engaged in CONVEX
sation on the railroad track near the
spur track which is used to convey
coal to the American wooden COM
pany's mills when they observed two
men, who appeared to bes Italians,
coming along, carrying what appear
ed to be bags of coal on their backs
Bushey, 1t is claimed, remarked
that they were Italians who had been
stealing and suggested that he and
his companion go after them.
They Immediately gave chase. the
other men dropping the coal and run
ming down an embankment One of
the men pursued, it is said, drew a
revolver and began to shoot at his
pursuers. The first bullet struck
Bushey in the head and he dropped,
according to the soldiers story.
Chandler, however. kept up the
chase, and the man kept shooting un.
til his gun was empty. Unable to
catch up with the man with the gun,
Chandler went back and found Bush
ey dying. He then told the police.
Chandler declares there was anoth-
er with him and Bushey before they
saw the Italians but he does not
know his name
Doctor Stone and Whitney OF the
state laboratory performed an autop
sy this afternoon and found that the
bullet which killed Bushey entered
his head but did not come out the
other side.
A thorough search has been made
among the Italians here but no ar
rests have been made. Chambers
description of the man he said did
the shooting is very meager.

Alice Mills, the 14-year old daugh-
ter OF Rev. and Mrs. George S. Mills

,aults of players when topping the

faults of players when topping. the
ball are:
|. Topping the ball too soon: he max
ing too sudden q. turn over of the racquet.
This comes from turning it over with tie
wrist suddenly rather than slowly from
the shoulder.
=. Not following through after tie top
When the player has the bali on his
racquet ready for the topping roll be sure
that the return is high enough
Another fault of players is that as soon
as the ball comes in contact with the
racquet the player pulls up or checks his
follow through. Players should carry ont
the arm little way on the stroke before
starting the topping roll BY so doing the
Many players lift or pull up the racquet
when meeting the ball instead of carry
ing out. On such shot the player has TO
have an abnormal wrist movement To
keep the ball in court. This is useless
and dangerous. a player does not have to
pull up to get the ball over the net. Meet
ing the ball with rising stroke gives the
ball its proper height
The advantages of a top stroke are:
l. The ball is more under the players
control on height. direction and keeping
in court.
=. The ball travels faster after hitting
the ground. due TO the orerSpin of the
bail.
3. 4 ball in travelling over the net be-
gins to dip. which makes it harder for a
vollever 20 return.
1. The player can meet a ball on the
rise of the bound. which forces the op-
ponent more. your return is quicker.
=. Because of the sudden dip or drop OF
the ball on a top stroke after it crosses
the net YOU can make the return at q
wider angle and still keep, in court.

Some prime points in making SIM

For the beginner and average player
the best time TO meet the ball is when
it drops from the top of the bound.
Later when the stroke is mastered and
the player learns to put top spin to
his ball it Is advisable to meet the ball
on the rise of the bound: that is. just
before it gets to the ton on the re-
bound. By meeting rising ball the
quicker your return the more you

Top Stroke Is Difficult.

\ top stroke Zone that puts top or
over spin on the BALD is difficult and
dangerous for beginners and average
tennis players to learn compared TO

visable for beginners to learn hitting
the ball full and straight tthe follow

trying to put anything tspin on the
ball. The player that learns his fol-
low through stroke first learns to hit
the ball in the center of his racquet.

three most important points of a
stroke and has an advantage over the
player that begins to learn tennis by
topping. II the player can hit the
ball in the center of his racquet and
follow through on his st ,oke. learning
to top comes easy later. To go from
folloW-through stroke to topping a
player when meeting the ball has only
to roll his racquet over the ball just
after the ball has been met II is a
rolling motion of the arm from the
shoulder. and during the rolling mo-
tion one should feel the ball still
against the racquet. The common
