PROVINCE OF A NEWS.
PAPER.

II would be comical, were it
not somewhat pathetic, the way
newspaper offices are besieged
every day by their friends, urg-
ing them to roast" this and
that; to "see to it" that this and
that is corrected; to have this
and that is corrected; to have
this and that done in the city or
country; to start this and that
kind of movement to correct
evils in the state government.
These friends actually appear
to believe that it is the news
papers business to handle all
these affairs.
But a self respecting news
paper, though ready and will
ing to carry all reasonable re-
sponsibility, must remind its
readers that they-the people
are the authority. upon whom
rests the responsibility for the
present state of affairs local,
state and national.
A self-respecting newspaper
tries to report the news of what
actually happens, not what it
might wish had happened. The
relation of a self-respecting
newspaper to the general pub
lie is not always understood. II
is the duty of a newspaper to
be in a position to support any
good act and criticize any bad
act Of public policy.
This relationship cannot ex-
ist where favors asked and
granted. Honesty is the only
policy for a newspaper.
If DIRECTORS don't like the way
things are going, they should
qualify as voters, and then
raise cain about it.-Avoyelles

Athletic Union Carnival |
Attracts Big Entry List
for Indoor Competition
BY lack Masters

At the annual confab of the Amateur
Athletic Union held in New Orleans
last year, California delegates, in
sweeping "native born" into the pres
ldential chair of the governing body of
amateur sports, also grabbed off the
1921 outdoor track and field champion
ships of the United States. The West
erners, however, conceded the indoor
classic in the East. Consequently, one
of the greatest collections of athletes
that ever competed here will be seen in
action at the 22d Regiment Armory
next Saturday night
Almost every performer basking in
the spotlight of fame at present has
been attracted by the lure of national
honors. The advance guard from the
Pacific Coast and Middle West is ex-
pected about Wednesday, and after
that the medal hunters will be coming
IN IN from all sections Of the country
right up until the day of the meet.
The collegiate entry list is particu-
!arly heavy, no less than eleven uni
verslties having agreed to participate.
In many instances full teams for the
relay race have been entered in addi-
tion to the regular individual entries.
The following institutions will be in
the running: Yale, Princeton, Lafay-
ctte Penn State, Amherst, Dartmouth,
Boston College, Holy Cross, George
town, Brown and Brooklyn College.
New Records Expected
AS usual with the championship af-
fair, the 600 and 1000 yard races have
drawn such fine fields that new rec

Mendes Wins Title
From Willoughby
On Florida Links
Siwanoy Country Club Star
Is Crowned as the New
~ Champion of Palm Beach
From q Special Correspondent

PALM BEACH, Fla, March 12.-A j.
Mendes, of the Siwanoy Country Club,
is the new champion of Palm Beach, as
result of his winning from Hugh de
Wllloughby jr., of the Merton Cricket
Club, by score Of up and to play
in the finals of the championship of
Palm Beach, played at the Country
Club. Willoughby's defeat makes him
runner-up for the second time this sea-
son in Palm Beach golf.
Starting from the first tee Willough-
by got away with a poor drive, which
resulted in win for Mendes. The
second and third holes went to the
Siwanoy golfer, and at the fourth,
where Willoughby reached the green
in l, he lost several puts, while Men
des's second brought him off the green
and he pitched dead to the pin for 8,
thus assuming a lead of up.
The fifth was halved in 5s, and at
the sixth Willoughby took his first
hole. Driving from the seventh tee
the Philadclphian's shot carried ter
rife weight, going at least 200 yards;
his approach was good and he holed
out for 8. Another long drive on
the eighth, 1913 yards, brought his ball
to the edge of the cup and he holed
out for birdie 2.
Having lessened his handicap to I
down, the Philadelphia lost the ninth
to Mendes, whose approach shot from
off the green, gave him beautiful posi-
ton. The tenth and eleventh were Will
loughby's for par and 5, making the
match all even.
At the twelfth, Mendes's drive found
a bunker, his masnie shot hugged the
rim of the cup and he holed out for a
3, again taking the lead. The thirteenth
was halved in As and after halving the
fourteenth Mendes took the fifteenth
and finished the match at the six
teenth. where he shot a birdie 2.
Mendes, at no time during the tour
nament being l point down, through
consistent playing won his matches in
earlier games with but little difficulty.
His medal for the eighteen holes, after
playing out the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth, was 10.

Post Office, Clerks A. A.. at the e9th

Sid Leslie, unattached, by a scant two
yards in driving fnish.s The time was

Nird, and Mike Devanney, of the Mill
rose, A. A., the only other statter, was
fourth. g
Sellers, who is the metropolitan
champion for the .distance, went into
the lead at the start, and his running
throughout showed that he has i'm
proved considerably since his last few
signs of being ovcrworked. The title
holder used excellent judgment of pace.
= at the completion of the first half
lap Sellers relinquished the van to
O'Brien, who seemed to think the pace
Was not fast enough, but Jack hung
onto the heels OF the Eli representa-
tive, awaiting the final sprint. Leslie
was third. a few yards back, and De-
vanney was a close fourth. About 1870
yards from the finish line Sellers
jumped the field, with O'Brien flying
after the New York A. c. man, and
Leslie running almost at the shoulder
Of O'Brien.
Nearing the tape Leslie passed
O'Brien, and although the former Long
Island A. G. star drew close to the f1y
ing Sellers, Jack was able to hold him
off to win by about two yards.

Had Barnes putted as we'll as he
drove and played the short game he
would have had much lower tally on
each round. On the first he took
thirty-fve puts and on each of the
three others, he took twenty
puts. On the third round this morn
ing he missed an easy two-foot putt
at the twelfth hole and at the thr
teenth he missed another of about FIVE
feet.
In the afternoon he drove a ditch at
the eleventh hole and finally took
seven for the hole. At the thirteenth
his second became lodged under the
steps adjoining the fence and when
he had finally crawled under and
played out he took another seven
which prevented his breaking 70.

Correcting Mistakes
1t is only matter of brief spell
now before thousands of golfers will
De back upon hundreds of courses in
an attempt to wipe away the winters
rust and get started in the right way
The best time to correct mistake
is early in the season, not after the
mistake has become we'll fixed habit.
This is the time to be sure that the
club head isn't lifted up outside the
ball, but is brought back inside of the
bne that runs through the ball TO the
mole: This mistake of lifting the club
head outside of that line is one of the
most common in the game, and as it
means faulty back swing it is almost
sure 10 mean an equally faulty down
swing.
This early starting period is also a
good time to make practice of swing
ing back evenly and steadily, rather
than bringing the club head back hur-
rledly or with jerk.
On steady, even back swing where
the club is started back inside the ball
there IS every prospect of success.
Other Aids
1t is in these early practice or play
ing sessions also that one should tind
out quickly what she or he is playiny
badly and then take a lesson or two
to have the kink Strengthened out be-
lore said kink has become q knot. 1t
Is good idea> for example, to start
out by shortening the back swing Of
your putter.. great many putting mis-
taxes result from an extended back
SWING where the margin for error i.
great. On any short putt from four
&c SIX feet it is never necessary to
bring the head of the rutter back over
five or six inches. Certainly not over
eight inches. Yet you will see any
number on short puts bringing the
club head back as much as eighteen
lnches or two feet, and then slowing
up on the way through.
Another point-so many golfers have
been told not to sway that thew have
become rigid. While the bend Of the
lett knee plays big part in the body
position. there is nothing to be gained
by attempting to hold the shoulders
and body immovable. Except, of course.
on a short putt. You will notice
free, easy play of the body in such
golfers as Hagen and Evans, Barnes.
Hutchinson and Jones. They are far
from being wooden posts planted in
the ground or pillars of stone.
New-York tribune., 1921-03-13

One of the main worries in golf
which seem to harass or bother in
Vulnerable players of average ability
concerns the location of the feet in
regard to the ball.
And this is an extremely important
detail in connection with the swing
and the relation of hands and club
head as the ball is hit.
Is it better, we have been asked fre-
quently, to play the ball off the left
foot, in between, or from the right
foot? There are star examples for all
three methods, but we rather think the
majority of fine players will be found
playing the ball on a line midway be-
tween the heels rather than from a
position distinctly off the left heel or
distinctly off the right.
A Good Test
One day last summer we ran across
golfer whose swing seemed to be
fawless in every way and yet who was
getting astonishingly bad results
This golfer in question was playing
the ball we'll advanced to the front on
a line with the left toe.
Selecting a place where the turf was
cropped, we asked him to swing with the
ball removed; just to take a natural
swing. After perhaps eight or ten of
these swings we found that he had
worn away one bare spot where the
club head grazed the ground before
starting upward-and this bare spot
was on line that was exactly between
the two heels, neither off the left nor
right foot. Also, this worn spot was at
least twelve inches back of the spot
where he had been teeing his ball.
His natural swing called for stance
with the ball midway out between the
two heels. Naturally in hitting at
ball twelve inches further front he had
either to alter his natural swing on
the way down or else to catch the top
of the ball as ne was coming up.
This matter of taking eight or ten
o. them in succession when working
out a fault isn't bad way of finding
just how the feet should be placed.
For you can then tell by the spot worn
down by the club head just where the
ball should be in relation to the posi-
tion OF your feet
Other Positions
For high pitch it is simpler to
play the ball off the left heel, rather
than further back But on a chip shot
just off the green many of the best
players prefer to play the ball off the
right heel where no lofted effort is
required.
This chip shot was one of the best
that Jerry Travers played when he was
winning championships. And the ball
the right heel. The same stroke is ex-
