Two Main Faults
Dunn, who has taught many thous
and golfers. says that beyond any
doubt the two main faults in the aver
age golfer are the tendency TO move
the hesd-Iook up--and the tendency
to sway the body in ahead of the
stroke.
"If every golfer" he says. could
only keep his head still and could let
his hands start the club head down
ward before his body. either at the
shoulder or the hip. interfered. the
game would be simple enough. Timing
then would soon become easy and
scores would quickly be cut down.
I'm both golf and baseball" contin-
ued Dunn. you will notice from ac-
ton snapshots and from close obser-
vation that the best players put their
body back OF the swing. Their arms
or wrists start first. and then the
BODY at the right moment swings IN
back of the smash"
This - true. We recall that Fred
Merkle. who fell into a hitting slump.
complained that he had developed the
bad habit Of starting his body in front
of the stroke. starting his right hip
a bare half second before his bat left
the shoulder. Merkle struggled with
this fault. but il was not until he
took up golf again that winter that
he was able to correct it, Having cor
rected the fault in golf. he was able
20 break away from his trouble in
batting. and improved at once.

with the statement that the golf ana

four photographs. Two of these were

most of the work.

Alleged Bootlegger
Is a Very Sick Man

Emaciated and in very bad physi.
cal condition, Mike Kummomeuski,
a Russian, is in the county Jail today
awaiting a hearing on charge of
bootlegging. The officers say that
the mans physical condition is much
impaired and that he probably suf-
fers from tuberculosis. His wrists
are very thin and give evidence of
his run down condition. Should the
man be convicted It would no doubt
mean that an application for pardon
would be made.
Kummomouski, who is claimed to
have been quite professionl at the
bootlegging game, was arrested on
Saturday night by deputy sheriffs
when train arrived from Pittsburgh.
The officers claim that five quarts of
whiskey and four quarts of alcohol
were found in the mans suit case. A
warrant was issued for the mans ar
rest by Justice Musgrove.
