ginning to take on much more
serious aspect than the mere lee
ture trip Of a distinguished states
man.
Unofficial. informal, absolutely
disconnected from the government
of France and without a mission"
in the formal sense, nevertheless
the confessed effort of the former
premier of France to influence
American public opinion has drawn
fire from those in the United States
senate who fear America may be
influenced by what M. Clemenceau
writes or says.
The United States government,
meaning President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, who are charged
with the responsibility of foreign
policy, faces an awkward and deli
cate situation. The reply to M.
Clemenceau means taking official
cogn;zance Of what he says and re-

ministration here is particularly
anxious to avoid especially since
the press of domestic questions is

golfer OF moods and fancies, he is
something more than brilliant per-
former; he is also the last word in
grace and rhythm and dazzling speed
OF play.
Duncan won the British open cham
pionship at Deal in 1920. He finished
one stroke back OF Hagen in 1929
And here his last two rounds tell the
story OF his game-an 81 in the morn
ing, record breaking march of SO in
the afternoon, with two shots from
the edge of a sloping, mounded green
for 50.
Duncan has one of the keenest
brains and one OF the most attractive
personalities in golf. He failed to get
going last summer at Columbia, but
one can never tell at just what mo-
ment he will hit top form and stand
unbeatable in the lists. He hasn't the
certainty Of Hagen or Barnes, due
more to mental moods than to physical
form. But once under way there is
nothing like him in the game to follow
and to watch.
Duncan uses the closed stance. with
his left foot slightly advanced beyond
the right. He gets his grip adjusted
two strides before he reaches the bali,
and as he takes his stance the club
head starts back upon its Journey.
His slogan or motto in putting is
typical: "There'st hole~here's the
ball---hit it,"
In his last twenty-five rounds of
medal play in British competitions the
brilliant Scot averaged seventy-four
strokes per round, one of the most
consistent performances he has shown
for some time.
Duncan at skokie will carry a heavy
burden, knowing the imposing numeri-
cal handicap that he. Mitchell and
Kirkwood must face. But he will be
an extremely dangerous contender in
asmuch az it takes hFiliiancy as well
as steadiness to lead such record
field.
Duncan is a great believer in weight
ransference--lirm pressure upon the
big toe of the left foot for the back
swing, with the left heel raised, the
right foot supporting most of the
weight, with the weight upon the left
foot at the finish of the stroke to sup
port the shock Of impact. He comes
closer to making golf lock easy than
anv man we have ever seen.

and track athletic teams for the inter-
national meet, to be held in Pershine
Stadium on August 20. have been re-
ceived from Belgium. Switzerland. Eng
land and Czecho-S -Slovakia. France will
also enter the strongest women's ath-
letic team that has ever competed in
an international mee5.
The gaines viii be held under the
auspices Of tie Feminine Federation of
france. This IS temporary amaiga-
nation OF two fem m!nine French athletic
federatiors between which there has
has been until recently friction which
threatened to ruin the proposed inter-
national games for women athletes.
Announcement by the rival French
feminine athletic federations that they
had sunk their differences, at least
temporarily, and would conduct the in
ternational games at Pershing Stadium
on August 20, is expected to pave the
way for the entry of an American team
in these competitions.
The personnel of the team has al
ready been announced. but owing to
the conflicting reports from abroad
there was some doubt IN tre minds of
amateur athletic authorities regarding
the advisablity of sending the Ameri-
can rapresCntativeS to Franc.
