June or early in July.
The Importance Of the issues depend

derstood that Sir John French, dictat-
ing his own terms to the Cabinet, had
declared he would persist in his inten-

initiation inflicted on him by the gov

Golf Game Taught by Pictures
Learners Have Many Odd Ways

TEN of looking at the hole, felt it 20

promised by looking at his own bali,
but keeping al the same time a men
tai picture of the hole with his ball
dropping into it, This plan had

IN line with this theory is the as
sertion that good players are made
chiefly by imitation, and the would
be champion should spend a great
deal of time watching players of rec

No doubt there is much truth in
these theories of subjective, or sub
conscious, golf Take the theory If
imitation, for instance With children
the initiative faculty is strong and
they easily reproduce strokes. With
most people, however. this ability
weakens with time, and they deceive
themselves. 1t is easy to imagine
that one is playing a Vardon stroke
when it is something quite different

would prove disastrous to ones game.
