SrES Fans everywhere
w are amazed at the
facility with which George W.. Hoffner
walks up to bali and hits. rarely
studying the lie. of the ball, but seem
ingly knowing instinctively just what
to do. Indeed, when asked just how
he made the shots, as shown above
where he was caught in action. it was
difficult for the amateur first tenner'
to explain.
Hoffner went to the third round in
the national before he was beaten off
by Bill Fownes. whom he beat in the
span of a week or so later, in the play
for the Pennsylvania amateur cham
pionship.
Hoffner won the amateur Philadel
phia title in fast field and scored many
triumphs during the last season. His
play was such that he was ranked
among the first ten amateurs of
America. ~
Out of Ditch
Hoffner here is shown playing shots
off downhill and uphill lies, such as
presented from the banks of creek, in
a ditch. hazard and so forth.
He showed his excellence at this shot
in the national amateur at Oakmont
in his first match, which was against
Gardiner White, the Metropolitan star.
Hoffner found his ball in a lie such
as presented in the illustrations on no
less than eight different holes. He
startled the gallery, however. each time
by the camness with which he drew
forth his mashie piblic, took the
stance as shown. and put it up for
putt every time. But for his ability
to make this shot, Hoffner figures he
might have been beaten.
"In addressing the ball. said Hoff-
ner, the other day. there is no fixed
stance. as the player must become ac-
customed to awkward footholds. A firm
footing is necessary. particularly where
| there is sand or the ground is soft.
The left must be especially firm.
1.-The stance when playing the ball
| from the downward position differs
materially from that of the ordinary
mashie or mashie niblic shot, in that
a greater amount of weight naturally
is on the left foot and the body for
ward.

rection of the hole and aiming slightly
TO the left thereof.
"The swing is similar to that used
in imparting spin to the ball in the
cut shot. When raising the club the
arms should go away from the body,
taking horizontal course-frOm left
to right.
"In the downward swing draw the
arms in, and at the moment of impact
the face of the club is drawn sharply
across the ball, simultaneously with

one, though doubtless he would not
have for an instant contemplated ac-
cepting any of the suggestions he in
vited. And he did this not once. but
many times in Sandy Welsh's beer
cellar in Ann street.
For example, he would express his
doubt about the velvet, violet lining
being gloated DER by the same lamp
light which in another stanza threw
shadow at once over the bird perched
above that chamber door and upon the
same floor where each separate dying
ember wrought it's ghost But my
father told him not to worry about
these; that as an experiment in rhyme
they were permissible, and finally pre-
vailed on Poe to allow my father TO
offer the poem anonymously to a pub

MILLERAND, FRENCH PREMIER
SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WANT NO NEW TERRITORY
Decision On Indemnity viii Be Dc.
Iayed Until Financial Congress Is
Held-German Labor May Be
Used On a Large Scale.

Paris.-"There is absolutely no de-
sire among the allies to avoid coop
Grafton with the United States In the
solution of peace problems. Her fail
ure to ratify the peace treaty has not
caused the slightest strain in our at
titude toward her. In fact, we still
hope for the utmost collaboration OF
America in carrying out the Versailles
treaty, and will be very grateful II
President Wilson can see way to
send a representative to the session
Of the supreme council at Spa next
month Our earnest hope is that an
American representative who may be
present will have fuller power of dis
cussion than heretofore have been per-
mitted the American official obserV-
ers."
In these striking words Alexandra
Millerand, the French premier, in an
interview, effectively disposed of all
suggestions that the allied premiers
hold any feeling Of resentment toward
the United States because of our abb
sence from the peace settlements.
1--WE were glad to have Ambassador
Johnson present" M. Millerand con-
tinued. 1T was a good proof that
America is interested in our difficult
ties, and | personally feel certain that
the United States will not forget the
sacrifices we have made and will not
withhold friendly support in the
mighty task which faces the allies Of
restoring Europe to peace conditions"
I'VE want no territory, as the San
Reno declaration says" continued M.
M1llerand. 1--WE have no intention to
annex parts OF Germany. Whatever
may be said by persons without
authority, the majority of the French
public and parliament are against a
policy of annexation. Nor do we wish
to use extreme military measures Of
coercion, and in this our attitude does
not differ from that of all our allies. y
Respecting indemnity, the decisions
probably will be delayed until the
financial congress has been held in
Brussels. Then the results of the two
conferences will be merged into a
workable whole. Labor experts also
will attend the Spa sessions, as it is
intended to discuss as fully as pos
sible the question Of reconstruction
of the devastated regions. The French
are considering a suggested solution
of this problem by the organization Of
German labor ON large scale for
work in the ruined districts.
