Tales of a WaySide Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

the discussion But as some sort Of
reply had 10 be made we plunged on
forward.
There are several things that will
help. at least. One is TO make up your
mind 10 let the club do more work. The
average golfer is entirely too am
bilious. The club. 70 him, is a small
detail. He wants TO drive the ball a
mile. He intends 10 knock the cover
off So he swings with his wrists, arms
body and legs. I'm place Of bringing
the club back evenly and then merely
speeding up the club head on the way
down he comes back at top speed and
,urches or swipes at the ball. To prac-
tise timing one must practise an even
ness Of stroke, detached from any sud
den effort.
Other Devices
There are still other devices the
best professional instructors teach. One
is not TO grip too tightly. firm grip
is needed, but there should be no hard
or heavy gripping. The best way, at the
start. 10 keep the body out of the swing
az the start and to keep from moving
the head is not 10 try for any extended
distance. The best way 20 correct
these two main faults IS 10 grip hrmIy.
but lightly at the start; to swing back
evenly and to let the club do its share
on the down swNg by merely speeding
UP the club-head."
But" remarked the Gentlemsnly
Duffer, "most Of the professionals come
back at top speed and then crash into
the ball. How is that"
"Merely because they have developed
the right timing at an early age until
it has become habit. The right swing
came TO them, in the main. through imi
tation and the knack one has when
muscles are young and elastic. They
put the;S bodies into the full shots, but
their bodies arc back OF the swing. not
in front of il. Those that sway know
just when and where 70 sway with the
stroke"
Getting TO Start
"You think. then" asked the Cen
tlemanly Duffer, that # golfer Sc
lects a natural grip and a comfortable
stance. and then practises swinging
evenly and keeping his head still he
will improve his game >"
BEYOND any doubt. The first thing
he should remember. as we said be
fore. is that the club is as much a part
OF the swing as he is. The club has 70
do its share. But the club can never
do its share where extra effort or lung
ing or overambition is jerking or SHOW
ing it out of the proper line to travel.
II the golfer who now plays around 80
or 81 could only be sure of keeping his
head still, and then not putting his
body into play in front Of the stroke
letting the arms and club do most OF
the work, he would be down around SO
in no time at all"
you might say. then" added the
G.. D.. that entirely too many golfers
have the Ners Libre swing that Is,
jerky. choppy and without evenness OF
rhythm ?"
At this point the Gentlemanly DUFF
fer arose and went out with the light
Of new resolve in his shining eyes. II
all sounded exceedingly simple. But
looking ahead into June. we could see
him struggling again. lifting his head
or the downward stroke, lunging OF
lurchng 10 get distance. letting the
club do only q minor share Of the
work-and then wondering why he
couldn't hit the ball-why he was top
ping or slicing or foundering along.

The Gentlemanly Dufer dropped IN

he brooded in the silence which foI-
lowed an exchange of greetings. Then
he spoke.

"Have found what" was the logical
reply.
"The main trouble" he answered 10

4 Few Essentials
"Tnis being granted" he continued

we replied. CUP TO three or four of the
, best known professional instructors IN
the game. Their answers were practi-
callv the same and to this effect. the
( two most serious faults 20 be found
were these: l. lifting the head on the
downward swing; >, swayng the body or
I ducking shoulders or knees before the
/ club head reached the ball. These IN

/ times called looking at the ball or
who could keep his body back OF the
stroke, in place of putting 1t in front oil
L the swing, would pick up the game with
unusual speed.
/ 4 Matter OF Rhythm
Golf. they all agree. is a matter Of
rhythm or timing. This Is proved by
the fact that a nineteen-yesr-ol boy
weighing 1l5 or l20 pounds. such as
/ Norman Maxwell, can get more dls-
lance than most men weighing 200. SO,
/ golf being a matter of rhythm or tim
I ing. one must first break up the faults
/ that destroy timing. Lifting the head
destroys all rhythm utterly. So does
swaying the body in front of the swing.
There can be no proper timing with
these two faults at large, for they are
bound to jerk the swing out of us
proper course. The golfer who keeps
! his head still and VINO let's his hands
start before his body starts is pretty
sure to get the basis of sound sys-
! tenn. The golfer who lifts his head or
/ shifts his body in advance Of the stroke
will never play the game, though every
other device is perfect

BERLIN PAPERS CRITICIZE
PRESIDENTS SPEECH
Says Entrance of United States Into
War Will Have No Effect
on Result.

Berlin, April 6. - president Will
sons speech says the Vorwaerts,
will give rise to many explanations.
Especially remarkable seem to be his
views that resolution may help peace.
The President also seems to be of the
opinion that a German-American war
can come to an end before it is really
developed
The newspaper adds that Germany
will fulfill her heavy task and emerge
victorious from the war, and that her
people will then undertake the life Of
a free people among free peoples.
Count Won Reventlow, in the
Deutsche Tags Zeitung, says the entry
Of the United States in the European
war as a new enemy of Germany will
have no effect, because the United
States can injure Germany no more
than she has done during her so-called
neutrality, and maybe even less.

MOTHER! LOOK At
CH|LD'S TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give "CaIifornia Syrup
of Figs"

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give
teaspoonful Of "California Syrup of
Figs" then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all thig constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough "inside cleansing" is ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle OF
"California Syrup Of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children OF
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

London, April 9.-British efforts to

Near Ronssoy, 10 miles north Of

The French continue to recover
