Mark Twain S Idea of What
Arthur S Court Was Like

The plumbing was bad in King Arthurs
Court.
There was no telephone system
The brave knights, the flower of chivalry,
spent their time
l. Eating.
q Drinking.
3 Staying dragons.
A. Rescuing damsels.
5. Fighting
There were no carpets OH the floor of King
Arthurs Court--only rushes.
None of the knights thought it worth while
to learn to read and write.
Not one of them knew the difference be-
tween a carburetor and spark plug. They
believed that Merlin was mighty powerful
magician
Until the Yankee arrived. He taught them
different
First he put the plumbing to rights. Then
he pulled the great magician's whiskers. Then
he installed telephones throughout the realm
Then he improved the knights table manners
Then he took on a few knights in a tourna-
ment, and licked them single handed. Then he
mounted the celebrated flower of chvalry on
motorcycles.
All this was even as Pic unto him
When he had nothing else to do he did
job or two OF rescuing and one fair damsel
was SO grateful that she fell in love with him.
His title was Sir Boss and his uniform
consisted largely of n top hat and pair of
garters This was considered very dgnified
get-up, and it did his reputation among the
knights a lot OF good
All this is the product of the master brain
Of Mark Twain, Americas greatest literary
figure and the worlds greatest humorist. Mark
Twain wrote his masterpiece, "A Connecticut
Yankee in King .Arthur's Court" to prove that
tho present is the best of all possible times to

(From The London Daily Telegraph, May 81

Queen Alexandra, accompanied by
Princess Victoria and Princess Maud, and
attended by General Sir Henry Streat-
field, paid visit yesterday afternoon to
the Alhambra Theater to see the first pub
lie exhibition in this country Of the great
spectacular film, ga Connecticut Yankee
in King Arthur's Court" The royal visi-
tors were received in the vestibule of the
theater by Sir Oswald Stoll and Mr..
George F. Reynolds, the manager, and
were at once conducted to the spacious
royal box, which had been converted into
a bower of flowers. The film, full ac-
count of which was given quite recently in
the well-knoWn book by Mark Twain, and
rore on Broadway In the ordinary
course of events it would have been ex-
hibited to the public of this country not
earlier probably than the end of next
year. AS it is, thanks to the enterprise of
Sir Oswald Stoll, it's release has thus been
anticipated by nearly eighteen months.
At all three performances yesterday it
went with an unmistakable swing that
augurs well for it's future popularity.
Apart from the really astonishing spec
tacular scenes in which realism has been
carried as far as it can go, the humor of
the many incongruous situations in which
modern American suddenly thrust into
the England of 1,500 years ago finds him
self, created continuous rounds of umcon-
trollable laughter. The exceedingly funny
and epigrammatc subtitles, which are
great feature of this film, were thorough

They should start down evenly and
steadily, without any wild rush, pick
ing up speed along the way until at
and the club head whipped into the
ball.
AS the club head crashes in the
arms go out after the ball. There
should be no stopping of the club
after the ball has been hit. The fol-
low thru is not completed until both
arms are straight out in the direction
OF the hole.
The Right Club.
In selecting a driver it is better to
get one with a straight loft 1 don't
believe in having one with too strai ght
a face. In fact, it isn't a bad idea to
use a brassie from the tee, with an
other brassie slightly more lofted for
the fairway.
For the average man I advise a
driver or brassie around forty-two
inches in length, with a firm shaft and
the feel of the head. A club that feels
like a stick of wood is no good.
The weight might average around
thirteen ounces, but all the weight
mustn't be in the grip and shaft. AL
ways be able to feel the weight of the
head.
In handling the body remember
backward. In guarding against a
backward sway be careful not to lean
too far forward at the top of the
swing, for then you will have no power
left with which to hit the ball.
don't believe in long. heavy clubs,
for you can get just as far with the
lighter ones and control them in an
easier way.
Since you are after distance as well
as direction, balance is an important
thing in handling wooden club and
you can only get this balance by the
proper pivotin~ of left shoulder and
left knee together. and with an equal
distribution of weight at the top of
the swing. as far as the feet are con-
cerned- Let the left arm come back
straight as far as it will go, and then
at the top there is a slight bend of
the wrists, a natural bend to complete
the back swing.
Let the body again use only the
same amount of space in pivoting that
ii held before. That is to say. you
pivot in the same space the body held
Mt the start. without swaying to the
right or left.
The head always remains the
anchor to the swing and must not be
moved. It isn't a bad idea. however,
before starting the swing TO tilt the
chin in slightly toward the right
shoulder.
If you are hooking or smotherfns
the ball. turn out the toe of the driver
or brass.e slightly
The ball should be PLAYED Just q
trifle to the right of the left heel. with
either a slight open or a SLIGHTLY closed
stance. depending mainly upon
greater physical comfort.

well in the Colorado-Kansas game at
Lawrence this year, scoring two per-
feet place kicks. the only scores his
team was able to annex in that tilt.
An effort is being made at Missouri
university to get Henry F. Schultz,
former Missouri football and track
coach, to return to Missouri it has
been learned. Schultz left Missouri IN
1919, to accept a position with Uni
versity of Nebraska.
1t is understood that members OF
the Kansas City alumni of the Tiger
school are heading movement to
bring the former Tiger coach back to
Missouri where he always had success
in his coaching.
In case Schultz returns he will have

In Ernest Osborne, a pitcher, who
stands feet 5 II inches tall, and Earl
Adams, of Wichita Falls, Tex, sec
ond baseman, who measures only
feet inches, the club thinks it has
the right for this claim.
C. A. Bergman has been elected cap
tain of the st. Mary's three-letter man
football team, it has been announced.
He was at one time running mate for
Lewman Lone, now playing football
with Creighton university, of Omaha.
J. Laurence McGinnis, of Topeka,
who was the 1922 captain ofthe Mar
quette university football team, of Mil
waukee. Wis, had led his team in a
successful season. His team won
eight games, tied one and lost one.
Mc6nnis plays tackle. The Mar
quette goal line was not crossed dur
ing the season. Paul Hogan, Uni
versity of Detroit, was responsible for
a field goal against Marquette. Roll
lie Mcmahon, giant negro, from
Wellin gton, Kan, was another star on
the team.
The addition of Dan Phillips, for
mer K. U. star, has placed additional
strength in the Newton, Kan, Athletic
clubs prospects for a winning basket
ball team. He is six feet tall.

Pacific Coast League Can Be-
come an Independent.
Is Now the Richest Minor Or
ganizatiOn in Country.
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH.

New York Dec. Anticipating the
future by a matter of ten years, per-
haps less, baseball men declare that
the day is not too distant when the
Pacif Coast league VIII cut loose
from its present obligations and oper-
ate independently on the basis, if not
the status, of a third major league.
This is ordained inevitable, they say.
The Coast league occupies a unique
position in organized baseball. Rich
in playing strength and playing to
daily crowds never seen in other minor
league parks, it can string along with
the rest of the field or go it alone any
time the spirit so moves it. Just at
the moment, it seems satisfied to
string along under the chaperonage of
the ,rflajor leagues, its complace fed
by the fact that they have come to the
point where paying $4,000 for Coast
league, players is, seemingly, quite the
accepted procedure.
Can Play or Sell.
If the majors do not care-to pay
for another season and is just as we'll
satisfied. This attitude was never
more emphasized than at the recent
meeting of National Association Pro-
fessional leagues when Connie Mack,
the Phillies' spendthrift, was shaken
down for a matter of $4,000 in the
purchase of Sam Hale from Portland.
That is not being done by Connie
seven days in the week. He thinks
less of his lengthy windpipe than he
does of $4,000.
In many ways during the meeting
this league was the dominating factor.
Some few of the smaller leagues
showed a tendency to waver every
time the subject of the draft was
brought up, but not the Coast league.
The draft, SO far as it is concerned.
is a very falsetto laugh, and, of right.
should be. If the draft was in opera
ton, some fortunate major league
club would have fallen heir to Will
liam Kamm, the $4,000 baby, for
something less than $4,000. and the
same thing would apply to the cases
of Jimmy O'Connell, Hale and other
expensive individuals.
The league is further fortified by
the fact that its president. William
H. Mccarthy. is one of the biggest

Chicago, Dec. 9.-The date set for
the Wisconsin-I1linois football game in
the Western conference is November
10, it was decided at q meeting of the
coaches of the Western conference
held recently. It was rumored that
strained athletic relations over
charges of professionalism between
the two schools would prevent games
between the two elevens in 1928, but
only harmony prevailed at the annual
meeting of the conference representa-
tives here.
No intersectionaI games were sched-
uled, altho there were a few places
left vacant for non-conference con-
tests Iowa has an open date for
game with Yale If desired, but it has
been learned since that schedule has
been made UP, that Iowa does not
expect to meet Yale this year. An
invitation has been extended by Yale
to meet the Iowa eleven, but it has
been refused, according to press re-
ports.
Chicago left no open date with
Princeton, unless the game should be
played the first of the season which
to its previous schedules, by the ad-
dition of Michigan for 1928. Uni
versity of Chicago will go to Urbana
