and then wonders why a complete fiz-
zle results.
keenness to get extra distance starts
the trouble
The second reason comes from phys
ical weariness. After long, hard
round on a warm day, the golfer be-
gins to feel that his distance is ebbing
away. He hasn't the punch and the
pep left to get as far as he has been
getting earlier in the match
In place of being content to keep
the ball straight with less length. he
attempts to get his body into the wal
lop, with the old result Invariably
the body starts first, the hands follow,
and he gets less distance than ever.
a Few Suggestions
Once having arrived at the top of
the swing the golfer should be sure
that his hands start first, his arms
come next and his body comes in last
as an additional force.
If he is unable TO get his body in
terpolated correctly he should let his
hands and arms do most of the work and
keep the body out of the swing as
much as possible until his timing and
hls.contidence are adjusted.
The only way to do this is to re-
press the desire to kill the ball, and
having started the club head under

too much assistance.

Marshall, Cummings and COL

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-As a
counter move to meet the combination
against McAdoo, administration forces
in the convention today were scout
|ing for a dark horse of their own who
could break the combination if it
proved effective.
Vice President Marshall had been
talked of to head the combination
against McAdoo, but Thomas Taggart,
head of the Indiana delegation, did
not attend the conferences.
There was mention of Cummings,
who has always been a factor since
his keynote speech as temporary
chairman, and a new name heard was
that of cambridge Colby. Secretary
of State. but there will be no trend to-
ward either of these or any new
names introduced until the Palmer or
Cox forces or both definitely join the
combination which has for its pur-
pose the defeat OF McAdoo.
No progress was made in the move
ment to bring MIR. Bryan into the
combination and have him place in
nomination former Speaker Champ
Clark, which was one of the ideas ia
vored during the preliminary confer
once.

Alleged mulcting of disabled soldiers

period of at least six months, according
to evidence the district attorneys office
now says it has and it was admitted
today that the operations of the men
held responsible for the suspected frauds

Six men have been arrested in con-
nection with the alleged fleeing of for
mer soldiers. three having been ar
raigned today before United States Com
missioner Richardson. in addition to the
three held yesterday. All but one OF
those accused have been released under
bond.
The three arrested late yesterday and
arragned today are w. B. OConnell,
1900 Massachusetts, avenue, Harold A
o'Connell, 623 18th street. and I. E,
Graves, colored, 1920 9th street.
The O'Connells are not related.
Both were released under bonds of
$2,500 each shortly after being ar
raigned, but Graves, whose bond was
fixed at $4,000, was still in CUSTODY

been induced to give up $1,000 of
claim for which he received $4,000.
According to his story, one of the men
under arrest wrote him to come to the
bureau, and later in a personal inter-
view the soldier said he was told his
claim was worthless. He said the bu-
reau empioye said the claim might be
pushed through, however, but that it
would neceSSitate a division of the
claim check. which would be split
among three bureau workers.
Divided Claim Check.
The former service man said he
agreed to divide, and that two days
later he was handed check for
$4,000, which he indorsed over to the
man with whom he was dealing. and
the two went to a local bank. where
the bureau employe cashed the check,
giving the claimant s1,100 and keep
ing the rest.
Secret service men working on the
case today secuted the suggestion
that a large number of bureau en-
ployes would be found to be involved,
but said they could not yet say how
many more arrests might be expected.
The amount of money that has been
filched from former service men also
is yet to be determined and estimates
that the figure would approximate

characterized as guesswork-
Officials of the bureau are co-operat-

The newly organized board of ed
ucatlon puts itself on record at the
start as satisfied with the character
and the educational and administra-
tive efficiency of Roscoe G. Bruce as
sistant superintendent of the colored
schools of the District of Columbia.
This board accepts the point of view
clearly expressed in the majority re-
port of the special committee which
was duly recorded on October 20,
1919.
Nothing has happened since that date
to alter in anywise the conviction there
expressed that Mr.. Bruce is capable in
the handling of his difficult tasks. Since
coming to Washington in 1906, Mr..
Bruce has had an honorable record of
pubic service. From no superintendent
since that time has there come to vari-
Gus boards of education any recon-
mendation implying that he was unfit to
serve the city. The now superintendent
or schools, like all of his predecessors,
will have fair opportunity to pass judg-
ment upon Mr.. Bruce's work When
ever he chooses to express himself to the
board. either jim favor of or against Mr.
Bruce, after he has become familiar
with his tasks, the board of education
Will act upon any such expression

resignation of Mr.. Bruce were pre-
sented to Supt. Ballou by F. S. Tanner,
president of the Parents League, and
j. j. Porter, president of the Central
Northwest Citizens Association. The

a resume Of the Bruce case, while the
one presented to DR.. Ballou by the
Parents League pointed out that as
long as Mr.. Bruce remains at the
head of the colored schools there
can be no peace in the schools"
The petition Of the civic associa-
ton also stated that Mr. Bruce has
been a storm center" for from six to
ten years. and requested Dr.. Ballou
to dismiss him if he is to have q har-
monious regime of the District public
school system. Members of the Par

the hall is in an uproar, while five great
searchlights flood the place with light,

the smoke of countless cigars ascending,

When Bourke Cochran nominated

stration in Smiths behalf. Palmer and
Cox states and delegations seized their
banners and paraded With New York, to
give an object lesson in support of the
claim that McAdoo had been stopped.
In short time the convention and au-

which ran for half an hour.
And now the McAdoo show down "

When the outbreak of long pent up

their seats, the record showed that Nc
Adoo, while consistently refusing to be
classed as a candidate, was. in fact, a
candidate before with the downright
statement from an authoritative source,
that he will accept if nominated. Which
completes the line of strategy of the
McAdoo forces to date.
