Pop GEERS READY
FOR HARD SEASON
Dean of Reinsmen Will Not
Retire, Despite Injuries
Received.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-The fact
that he will be three score years
and ten" just ten days from this
date does not in any way interfere
with the plans of the veteran har-
ness horse driver. Pop" Geers.
for the coming season. and he is
now getting together d formidable
stable at Billings Park, Memphis.
for the 1921 campaign through the
grand circuit. The dean of reins-
men suffered a broken wrist during
the Syracuse meeting last Septem-
Der which kept him out of the sulky
the last five weeks OF the season,
but he is in good condition again.
A high class young trotter which
Pop" will race the coming season
is the bay mare, Molly Knight C3),
2:O6k. which he raced so success
fully In 1919. This mare had a let
up last season and as she gets a
twu-second allowance on account Of
the vacation she is eligible to the
2:O9 classes. She was raced in the
futurities two years ago and showed
herself one of the star 3-year-olds
Of the season which produced such
stars as Periscope, 2:04l2. and
Brusiloff, 2:O41z.
The most sensational performance
of Molly Knight when 3-year-old
was her defeat of Periscope in the
rich American Horse Breeder fu-
turity at Readville. For this event
PeriscOpe was a heavy favorite. The
first heat was raced in the mud and
Molly knight defeated the daughter
of Siliko in 2:09Ha. Then it rained
and the race was carried over until
the following day when she won
the deciding heat over a heavy track
in 2:O6A. There was poolselling at
Readville on the race and the talent
got hard jolt when Pop" put the
flly across a winner.
Molly Knight also won a good race
at Lexington, defeating Abbie Put
ney, 2:0612, and others in the Ken
lucky stake in 2:O7& and 2:O7I5
She is the property of Ex-Sherifr
Bosworth, of Lexington. who was
chief law enforcement officer back
in the days when one of the main
duties of the sheriff was the sun
preston of mountain feuds by per
sonally going into the mountains
md putting the irons on the feud-
lists and Bosworth seldom returned
without his man.

Have you ever seen a picture OF
golf ball still upon the front face of
the club head at the moment Of
Impact?
Neither have we.
fYet moving picture photographers.
with the fastest cameras made,
have made countless attempts to
get such a pictsre. in order to es-
tablish exactly what happens when
Ted Ray or a Bob Mcdonald or an
Abe Mitchell crashes into the ball.
Golf scientists insist that the
golf ball sticks to the club through
at least six or eight inches Of
space. and that before leaving the
club head the ball is well fiatten-
ed by the tremendous smash of the
club. In other words. the ball
doesn't jump away from the club
head the instant it is hammered.
ExpIninIng Many Things.
The idea is that the ball. travel
ing six or eight inches on the face
of the club head. Immediately re-
gains its correct shape after leav-
ing the club.
This idea of the ball sticking
briefly to the club head would ex-
plain many Things.
1t would explain. for one thing,
why a correct follow through is so
important.
But for all that, a slow motion
picture of what actually takes
place through those six or eight
inches beyond the tee would be a
most interesting sight to look
upon.
What Happens TO the Ball.
Many leading professionals insist
that there is no such thin. as over
spin to a ball-that it is all under
spin II the ball ever rises from
the ground
They figure that any ball with
.overspin Immediately ducks to the
ground and that it is the underS
spin which carries the ball upon
its flight to great lengths.
In a slice, of course, the ball is
revolving from left to right and
with a pull the reverse.
We have seen hard hitters to-
Gether. with almost the same ira
jectory and the same carry. where
one would get a long run after
hitting the ground. while the other
would get very little run at all.
One ball would hit and jump
forward at terrific speed. The 9TH
er would hit. roll a few yards and
then stop.
These entirely different results
from almost the same trajectory
and the same carry are hard to
explain.

1t is the old yarn OF not being

Figuring backward.
We have seen any number of
golfers who, in their desire to cor
rect a slice, take a stance facing
well to the left of the course.
This isn't to correct a slice.
1t is merely to make some allow
ance for the slice that is sure to
follow. For while the golfer Is
aiming well to the left he is think
ing down the center. with the re-
suit of drawing the club head
across the ball.
When the club head is lifted back
on the outside OF a line running
straight through the ball to the
hole, a slice is almost sure to fol-
low.
This is one of the most common
faults in the game. Many believe
that by swinging back in this fash
ion they can drive the ball to the
left of the course, rather than by
starting the club head back inside
the line that runs from the ball to
the hole.
What actually happens is that
the club head, lifted away from the
ball. returns with a sharp cut
across tho face Of the ball and
thereby develops the sharp spin
which produces a very tidy slice
To correct a slice many stand
with the left foot well back OF the
right. which happens to be a very
good way OF producing a slice.
1t is much easier to get a pull
with the left foot advanced in
front Of the right. In fact, many
very good golfers promptly adopt
this stance when they are planning
for a deliberate hook.
A number OF queer things, un-
known to the average philosophy.
can happen when a duffer is apply
ing a club head to the small white
object at hand. And as one it'll"
kink may mean all the difference
between good shot and poor one
it is easy enough to see why the
poor shots outnumber the good

HERE is A NEW ALIBI
DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS EVIL TO
KILL, SAYS SLAYER.
Former Army Lieutenant Who Killed
His Captain Asks War Depart
ment for Pardon.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Calder Perry
former lieutenant in the regular army
now i'm prison for killing his captain,
has asked the War department to par
don him because, up to the time of the
Staying, he did not realize it was
wrong to take life.
This unique plea comes from a man
now twenty-five, who lived until he
was seventeen along Shell creek in
East Tennessee, a mountaineer boy,
whose education consisted principally
in being taught to shoot quick and
straight.
"Those folks don't know it's wrong
to kill" he pleads in his letter and
says at seventeen he joined the army,
where his basic training was to kill
in a scientific manner.
"Under the abnol NAL conditions Gre
ated by the late World war, | yielded
to an impulsive passionate anger and
just about ruined everything" he
adds in explaining the Staying of the
captain, which he admits was delib-
crate.
But" he writes, consider my child
hood environment and the military
education l received. What other re-
suit could be expected?
"Since my incarceration l have for
