 I do not not believe in imitation. It is futile to initiate the methods of a nrst class player if the style of that player obviously does not suit one Ones swing. either flat or upright, largely depends upon ones build. a tall player usually preferring a fairly upright swing and a shorter player employing a fatter swing.

into the fire" by suspending the
plan of federal prosecution of liquor
law violators and henceforth rely
upon the action Of local authorities
in enforcing the terms Of the Vol

amendment to the constitution.
Just how far reaching this move
will be it is not at present estimat-
ed. But, it is said, the government
las announced quit SO far as the
enforcement OF the federal liquor
law is concerned
This action is the result of the
request of Robert M. Grove, states

cation addressed to the representa-
ives Of Attorney General Daugher-
~ seeking the placing of the re-
5ponsibility of enforcing the liquor
law upon lacol authorities. 1t is

and the announcement is made that
