GOLF GOSSIP
By JEROME d. TRAyERs.

The midiron is the easiest club In
the bag to become proficient with
which doubtless explains why 1t is sc
popular among golfers. favor club
with a stiff shaft, the weight OF the
club being Is ounces. Too much can
not be said concerning the importance
OF using stiff shafts in all the clubs.
In playing the ordinary midiron shot
through the green ! stand with the
ball opposite the middle of the body
with the right foot slightly in advance
OF the left. The club should be swung
back until the hands are about on a
level with the right shoulder. and in
the downward swing the ball should
be struck just below the back center.
Turf should be taken and the club
should follow through until it Is well
over. the left shoulder. :
If the ball is in cuppy lie II is nee
|essary to take little turf before the
ball is struck. The club should be
gripped firmly in the palm of the left
hand and the fingers of the right. The
club face should not be taken back
from tie ball at right angles, but
should be turned away with the wrists,
This turning of the wrists imparts
grace to the swing and compels the
.Dlayer to bit the ball rather than de-
liver push stroke, which has no
power behind it. The right leg should
remain rigid, the left leg bending a
trifle in the upward swing and stiffen-
ing as the weight is shifted to 1t in the
downward swing. -. -"
Proper timing of the stroke is essen
tial. II the hands are in advance of
the head of the club at the moment of
impact, a slice ball is the result. If
the head of the club is in advance of
the hands the ball will be pulled.
A common fault among beginners is
starting the hands in advance Of the
club head at the top of the swing,
causing a slice The midiron is use
fui club for playing the short approach
or runup shot against strong head
wind This is. stiff arm shot, the
wrists remaining more rigid and the
club being brought back about half
way. II
The back swing carries the club
nearer the ground than in the full
ruidiron shot and the wrists instead
of turning up when the ball is struck
follow a Straight out toward the hole.
II the player does not carry q jigger
he can use the midiron to advantage in
making chip shots when the ball is
lying near the green. AS in the jigger
chip shot the right thumb is pressed
against the shaft. :.
II often happens that some obstacle
stands between the player and the
green around which obstacle the ball
must be pulled. To perform this feat,
stand with the left foot in advance Of
the right, the ball being about opposite
the center of the body. The ball when
struck from this position revolves
from left to right, the spin causing
it to curve around the object. The
club should swing back toward the
body. and after the ball is struck
should follow through to the right of
the line of play. This shot has saved
me many hole.

 Larlzin was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Louise Heuss, a beautiful young widow, with whom he boarded and who entrusted her financial af- rairs to him as well as her heart. She gave Larkin possession of nearly $20,- 900 in stock and valuables, which has not been accounted for.
 Miss Falling, who was in court, said Larkin coresponded with his women friends through her. She said she wrote down many sweet things from his dictation, but none so sweet as the words in which he assured her he was fooling all the others and really meant to marry her. The dis covery that he had a wife and child in Schenectady, she said, rather broke her faith in his sincerity.

Then weigh and measure again. 1t isn't

scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin
man or woman can easily add. from five
to eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple direction.
And best of all. the new flesh stays

Sargol does not of itself make fat.
but mixing with your food, 1t turns the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten, into rich. ripe, fat-produc-
ing nourishment for the tissues and

President Carabajal Is Fully Re-

ations on General Basis
BY Associated Press

Washington, d. c., July 30.-Efforts
were made to-day by the United States
to influence General Carranza to bring
about an immediate armistice in Mex
leo. This action followed an appeal
from Provisional President Carbajal
that further fighting not only was "un
necessary, but inhuman, in view of GER
tain success of the peace negotiations.
Secretary Bryan telegraphed John
r. Silliman, personal representative
of President Wilson, with C~arranza,
urging a suspension of hostilities. The
situation from the viewpoint of Car
bajal was outlined in the following
statement prepared by his personal
representative. Jose Castellot:
"Provisional President Carbajal is
fully resolved to carry out negotiations
on the general basis already agreed
pon. His delegates should arrive in
Saltil1o tomorrow and begin confer
nee Immediately with General Car

1T is the unalterable purpose of Mr..
Carbajal to turn over the government
