0UIMET IS ALL SQUARE

MIDLOTHIAN CLUB, CHICAGO, July IL.
Despite steady downpour of rain, COM
paratiVely good scores were being made
today in the Western Golf Association
tournament The chief difficulty encoun-
tered by the players was putting, half an
inch Of water standing on some Of the
green's.
As the first pair in the match events
passed the ninth hole today Bowker was
one up on Anderson In the Guilford-
French match Guilford was running away
with It, being five up. Despite the rain,
May and Bankard both made low scores
and were playing a close game. May was
one up over Bankard, who made a 3S.
Edwards had a good lead on Worthington,
being three up as they completed nine
holes, Ouimet was being hedl to a tie
by Henry.
When today's match play began there was
every indication that two brothers-Donald
and Kenneth Edwards-might fight it out
ior the title. Both represent the Midlothian.

It is easy for us all to acquire. Its result
is usually disastrous, and one should get
rid Of II as soon possible. I used to call
it the 'pgtail' stroke 1t simply means
the ascending and descending strokes de-
scribe different lines The difficulty lies in
the backward ascending movement which
is drawn too close to the body, and the
attempt to bring the ciubhead back on tho
line for straight ball makes the loop. The
club has been brought back inside the
proper direction line and it desCends out
side the line.
Sometimes IT comes from trying to
throw" the clubhead "Out," as some pro-
fessonals teach. 1t also comes when one
forces a shot, and the man who takes but
a half stroke is particularly susceptible to
the fault Usually the same player is not
very accurate and hooks or drives badly to
the left of the course. 1t is a difficult shot
to time, and about one out Of every three
might be good There are some fine players
who tend to this looping" a shining ex-
ample being Jerome Travers, especially in
his wooden shots. 1t is. indeed, risky bust
ness on the full shots, and these, | assume,
are what Mr.. Cleveland means. for one cam
not easily loop with his half shots.
Now for the remedy The definition
shows that the ascending and descending
stroke should describe the same line. Carry
the imaginary line cut into the air by the
upstroke in mind and start the club hitting
into the identical line. l do not think that
c. Il. c. is standing too close to the ball,
probably he is too far away, for he is evil
IDENTIFY pulling the club in, so that he forms
no possible imaginary line by his upstroke,
and tries to make one up straight down
in the ball This cannot be done if the up
stroke is wrong.
Perhaps, too, the half turn TO the right
is not complete enough. The shoulders
should face at right angles to the first nosi-
tion when at top of back stroke. Perhaps
your left elbow does bend in order to get
club over right shoulder

portant. Note that CHARLES EVANS
It is kept virtually straight, insuring
long, wide sweep of the club. The common
and easy way to get the club to a
horizontal back of the head is to bend the
elbows and draw in the hands But then
the swing will necessarily he short and
too straight up and down. In the true
swing the left arm is kept extended and
the club is brought to the top of the swing
through the proper action of the wrists"

BELOW ESTIMATE
McAdoo Makes Encourag-
ing Statement on United
States Finances
(Rv Assoclated Press.)

Baltimore, Nov. 15.-In a speech
before the Investment Bankers as
ISOLATION here last night, Secretary
McAdoo disclosed that government
expenditures are running far below
estimates given congress and pre-
dicted that the amount OF money still
to be raised for the fiscal year would
not exceed $4,000. 100000.
Vague and unfounded apprehen-
sions seem to exist in the public
mind as to the extent of the financial
requirements Of the United states
during the current fiscal wear" the
secretary said. 1t may be helpful
to the country to know that these
requirements have been greatly eX-
aggerated and that in the Judgment
of the secretary OF the treasury there
is no reason whatever for apprehen-
sion on this score. This opinion Is
based on the latest estimates of our
financial needs.
During the last few days the vari-
Gus departments OF to government
have submitted to me their estimates
of expenditures, during the current
fiscal year. On the basis of these es-
Inmates am confident that, allow
ing for a liberal balance In the gem
eral fund at the close OF the fiscal
year, not more than $4,000, 100000
remains to be raised by the issue Of
bonds, war savings certificates and
treasury certificates Of Indebtedness.
This is not regarded by the
treasury department as a task which
will In any way strain the capacity
or resources of the United States.
The splendid success of the second
Liberty Loan shows that the people
are fully determined to support the
war and are prepared to make such
sacrifices Of Injuries and pleasures
as are necessary"
