of the golfer are the more various Of the
two.
This is an unfortunate condition, for
with a stance that varies considerably &C
cording to impulse, no man can be fairly
certain of any particular shot at any par
ticular time Chance will always play
large part in any game, but II a man has no
particular way Of holding his club, or stand
ing, or swinging, every stroke will be a wild
adventure into an unknown land.
Simplifies Question of Stance
When l was in the thick OF my early
struggles with the difficulties of the game,
two words began TO burn themselves into
my consciousness, One was SIMPLIFICA-
TION and tho other COMFORT. In those
early days l was using numerous stances
for every shot, with a nerveracking atten-
tion to details; now l use one stance for
full shots and another for half. or quarter
Shots and the details merely approximate
certain standards.
Stances are usually spoken of as open or
square, as illustrated in a previous article,
and most of the others are variations, often
wide ones, of these two methods.
The toe of the right foot is placed on
an imaginary straight line at right angles
to the line of play, and in the square stance
both toes are about on the l!ne. The re-
lative positions OF the feet % this line really
describe the sort Of stance.
My own game was learned piecemeal
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1917-06-18

and what / have now Is a survival OF a
discard of many years. l think / have
tried every imaginable stance. In my early
days OF golf Il was popular 20 play the
open stance with the left foot behind the
right. tried this and found myself pull
ing across the ball and thereby sucing IL
was all right on the half and quarter shots
where one could swing almost straight, but
the minute the club gets beyond the hall
club length II begins TO get on the imag-
mary straight line.
Square Stance is Popular
II you watch the leading present day
players you will notice that they all use
the square stance for their long shots. of
course. mean approximately. Even in
my own game occasionally crop my eyeI
to my feet and see them sometimes on the
straight line drawn at right angles to the
line to the hole, and sometimes the left is a
little ahead Of the right or sometimes a
little behind the righ- but always very
close TO what may be called an exactly
square stance. These little variations may
be attributed TO comfort obtained at that
particular moment by the setting of the
feet
One day l found myself playing badly,
with both feet pointed straight and l just
turned them out bit and discovered that
was the ideal position for the pivot The
heels may rise, but neither foot should be
completely lifted.

RURAL ROUTE CARRIER RE.
MOVED
dover News)


Rural Route Carrier c. r. Mower,
who has been in charge of Route l
out of Dover since the route was es-
tablshed some twelve years ago, was
relieved from the service Saturday
by the Postoliice Department, for rea-
sons deemed sufficient by the officers
of the Department, after investigating
charges made against him.
Several weeks ago two inspectors
spent several days in Dover taking
evidence for and against the accused,
the result of which was the decision
that his removal would be for the
best interest of the carrier service.
The position has paid of late years
500 per month, and we understand
quite number of men served by the
route will take the civil service eX-
animation for the position made va
cant.
| The dismissal was to take effect
I Tuesday. Mr.. Mower failed to re-
port for duty Monday morning, and
Postmaster Mitchell swore in c. B.
Anderson and the two, in Joe Nc
Williams auto, served the patrons of
| the route, and will probably con-
tinue to do so until regular car
rier is appointed and qualified.
The removal of Mr.. Mower as Rural
Route Carrier, brings to an end an
ugly and in our opinion a most I'M
called for controversy. The good peo-
pie served by this route are in a posi-
ton to know whether or not a change
was called for. We think the De-
parment has made a serious mis-
take in allowing the matter to go as
far as it has.
