Memphis, Tenn, June 3.-Bert Niehoff's Mobile Bears, winning four of their seven games in the week ending tonight, retain the league leadership with an increased margin, but the real feature of the week ; play was the winning streak of the Memphis Chickasaws.

the things he has been told. As I watched the futile efforts. have of- ten wondered just how I would go about teaching a beginner, for ms personal acquaintance with the game was acquired in an entirely different manner. for l learned my game as a boy by observation and initiation, and my various faults I have tried gradu- ally to correct.
 Too Much Detail
 am convinced that there is too much detail in teaching. We all ought to know the underlying principles but detail varies with the physical conformation. 1t Is all nonsense to, try to have tightening sensations in the left hand. to remember to keep your head so absolutely still and the various other things that are so con stantly recommended. Furthermore, 1t is almost impossible. Just grip the club with your fingers as it falls in your hand and if you keep your eye on the ball your head will be still. It is best to be as natural as possible and get up and hit the ball, with thought, of course, but with certain abandon. too. The golf swing is a rhythmical stroke, and the rhythm Is spoiled by too many jerky ideas.
 Golf. of course, Is a difficult game, ana even the pest players have their golden rule, but the whole thing Is process of elimination, and you must take the rules most helpful to you. l have never achieved a good result by hitting my ball carelessly. Always I have q definite idea in my mind. Perhaps M could make a dis tinction and say that one should hit the ball in a carefree way, but not earelessly. Golf does require concen- tration and thought.
 How to Break . Hundred
 My recipe for breaking a hundred is this: Get the general idea of the game. with good understanding of the fundamentals. Have few golden rules selected after trial and practice and advice. Constantly remember the fact that the mind cannot create rhythm and opposition to the senses.
 The swings of no two golfers are exactly alike. but stances, grips and general ideas of all good players are closely similar. Your golf form should be governed by the general ideas plus your individual character istics. There Is one method of grip ping the club that is best. It is with the fingers. There is a general stance that is best there Is a general method of describing an arc with the club and so on-. These are fundamen- tals, and In them one should be well grounded, but 1t is well not to load ones mind with detail Suit the de- tail gradually to your own character istcs.

 We look to science to lead us on- ward. to open up new fields of indus try. Nor are we disappointed. Here comes pr. Marston T.

Ha informs his listening fellow scientists that the brain of pr, Septimus Pliesse gave birth to the idea and that Dr.. Pliesse has devised an "odorphone- to put in practice the proper harmoniz- ing of kmells.
 Dr. Pliesse figured that heavy odors such as patchoui and vanilla repre- sent the bass notes and that sharp smells like peppermint and citronella are the high or treble ones.
 We seem to see-or smell-the or ehestra of the future about to give an odor symphony. or whatever word we shall make that shall mean not a sound together, but a smell together. perhaps a syrozeny.

The leader waves threaten ingly. at the little man with the pep- permint bottle and a brief whiff of 1t waits out over the assembled smellers. Then both together. a duet of patchouli and peppermint. then all together . chord of odors that moves the gathering to tears that are 1n- terrupted only by looks of indiEna- tion at the woman whose entrance in- terrupts the program with a discord- ant perfume.
