GOLF ISPROVED
DELICATE GAME
BY DEAN SNYDER.

Golf is a DELICATE game when an
alyzed.
The turning of the body, the
swinging of the club a trifle late,
the position of the shoulders, the feet
and the grip on the club all count
in the winning or losing of cham
pionships.
When Miss Cecil Leitch success
fully defended her English cham
pionship this year at Turnberry, Eng
land, it was Miss Joyce Wethered
who lost through body fault.
She kept mistiming all her long
shots. Observers noted her mistake.
She was turning her right shoulder
and body too soon at the beginning
of the down stroke. AS a result she
was driving the ball too far to the
right and losing from 20 to 30 yards.
When told of her fault by Scot
fish professional her game braced.

WOULD ENJOIN ROAD
FROM USING STREET
FOR FREIGHT CARS
Lasalle Av. Property Owners
Petition Against South
Shore Electric Line.

a concerted drive 10 eliminate
freight hauling over the lines OF the
Chicago. Lake Shore and South
Bend railway on LaSalle az from
Michigan 81. 20 Laporte NV. has been
taken with the filing OF a petition
for an injunction against the car
rier. The petition was filed Satur-
day In superior court No. I by Attys
Seebirt and Schurtz on the behalf Of
y property owners of LaSalle av.
The petitioners ask that the car
rier be restrained from operating
electric engines and freight cars and
carrying commercial freight over
their lines in the limits set forth in
the petition.
The petition involves the consti-
tutionality Of an act OF the general
assembly passed during the 1920
session. II is claimed that the city
entered into a contract with the
defendant by which the right to op-
crate interurban passenger cars and
to carry baggage and parcel express
was specifically granted. but that
the right 70 carry commercial
freight was specifically denied.
1ahA II INlEnL AdfSs AIaTke.
II is further cOntended in the pc.
tition for the injunction that the
company's large electric engines. de-
signed for pulling heavy trains Of
freight, have been secured and are
being used and that ordinary box
cars OF the n. Y. c., I. c. and other
railroads are hauled by the defend
ant over LaSalle av. The hauling OF
this heavy freight has become a pub
lie nuisance and has caused a de-
probation in the value of all prop
erty on LaSalle av., which is solely
a residential district, II is further
charged.
The petition sets forth that the
defendant claims the right 10 haul
freight and that this right was con
ferred by act Of the general assem-
bly, in the session of 1920. The act
in question, Chapter 6, which be-
came effective on passage nj May,
1920, empowered electric railways
TO transport freight over their re-
spective roads over which they have
contracts. and the act further pro
vided that by reason OF the emer-
genCy at the time the matter was
brought up in the legislature the
act was TO become effective on pas
sage.
The petitioners for the restrain
ing order claim the 1920 act Of the
general assembly is invalid in that
it is unconstitutional because it vio-
lates the constitution Of the United
States nj being an act that impairs
the contract which the city of South
Bend had made with the defend
ant.
