 Not one out of the scores the writer talked with, who were hired by the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, evinced any intention of sticking on the job, nor were they asked whether they. would when they were hired.
 About seventy-five per cent gave false names, with road officials aware that they gave false names.
 At a minimum figure. fifty per cent had never been in a roundhouse and knew little of shopmen's work, though they signed up as machinists, helpers, car reDairers. etc.
 Many of the non-union employees had worked since July First in two or three shops on as many roads-long enough to get a little "Stake.''

COLEBROOK FIGHTS TO KEEP BAPTIST CHURCH IN BEING
Bequest of General 1 Phelps Depends on One Service a Year Congregation Down to Four.

 Years ago, General Edward A. land owners in northwestern Conpec- ticut and, after his death. his will revealed that a fund had been left to maintain the North Colebrook fund would be kept for the use of the church if services were held at least once a year. At that time, the thought that a Sunday service would ever be omitted was unheard of, and there were those who smiled over the generals technicalities. But time went by. a. new generation came, and with it the passing of North Cole fort is being made to hold services at least once year to retain the fund.

Jack PickfOrd Bombed
 as He Weeds Miss Miller

Los Angeles, Calf, July 31-Jack Pickford with his bride, Marylinne Mil Ter, were on their honeymoon today after successfully evading the swarms of curiosity seekers who haunted the vicinity of the residence of Mary Pickford, the groon1's sister. and Douglas Fairbanks, brother-in-law. at Beverley Hills where the wedding uook place yesterday.

 of uninvited persons Noticing the
 eagerness of the crowd outside, the
 bridal party strol1ed about with words
 of greeting. One woman spying Mary Pickford cried out: "Oh. Mary, kiss
 me- and Mary did. Then others begged for similar treatment and she was extending it when Fairbank: dashed over and carried his wife , away.

HANDS, wRIsD AND GRIP

have received a number of letters
from golfers asking me to go a little
further into details in regard to the
use of hands and wrists. Many golfers
are now either planning to make their
southern journey or else are preparing
to take indoor lessons in order to get
a running start for the spring season,
which isn't very far away.
As the hands and wrists are about
.the>first thing that enter into a swing.
<here is a natural desire to get away
in the right direction. The hands and
the wrists are a very big part of any
golf game. When they are working as
they should, the game certainly be-
comes much easier to play.
If you don't think so, just note the
difference on a cold day when your
hands and wrists are half frozen or
numb.
So to get these two important parts
of the golf body under CONTROLS a
big start, one worth working over.
.. At the Start.
am not advocating here an over
tapping grip or a two-handed grip.
The most important points to remem-
Der here are that the two\V'S formed
by thumbs and forefingerS both point
to the right shoulder; that the left
hand grip tighter than the right, but
not too tightly, and that the club be
held in the fingers OF both hands and
not the palms.
Remembering this, it won't be a bad
idea if you have room in which to
swing n club at home, TO practice the
habit of starting the club back with
the left hand on nearly stra.g ht line,
until the left arm is pointing straight
back on the line of flight.
The right hand so far IS used very
little. But as the left nand reaches
this position indicated, then the right
comes in to help and lift little, and
to steady the club at the top of the
swing L want to warn the player
here of tryinHrto roll the wrists. Let
this take careof itself.
Just swing the club back with the
straight left arm, right elbow down
and relaxed.
That's the big thing TO work on, to
start with.
The hands and wrists should be in
the same position as if just lifted over
the shoulder without any Grub. in the
natural way. Just see tnar the left
wrist is not bent up.
Down Swing.
In starting the down swing the
wrists should not be used too much.
In fact here they should be used as
little as possible.
They should be held under control
until about halfway down, or about
two feet from the ball.
Here, with the left wrist firm and
steady. holding the club under control.

USE new WRESTLING HOLDS
Spectacular Match Held in City Audi
tOrium Friday Night.

Convincing Topeka wrestlers who
last night saw John Pesek, of Raven
ma, Neb., pin John Grandovitch to the
mat in two straight falls that he will
Lewis, is going to be a mighty hard
job, for all who witnessed that spec
tacular match agreed that it was the
greatest wrestling exhibition ever seen
on the Topeka mat.
Convincing Topekans that all the
holds in wrestling have been found,
and that 1t is not possible to find any
new ones will be just as hard a mat
ter, for there was conclusive evidence
last night that new ones still can be
found, when the winner used a combi-
nation double wrist lock and arm scis-
sors for a hold which he calls the al
Iigator clutch. This is the hold which
caused the shoulders of the Dalmatian
champion to sink slowly hut surely to
the mat for the first fall. The time was
% minutes and seconds. The second
fall came in Z minutes and 10 seconds
with a head scissors reinforced with
a bar arm.
The Nebraskan wrestled at a disad
vantage, for he weighed but 1913
pounds, while Grandovitch tipped the
scales at 230. Despite this disadvan-
tage, it was seen in less than five min
utes after the two men entered the
ring that the Nebraskan was easily
the better man OF the two. Pesek
took the aggressive nearly the entire
match, and showed action, science,
and brains. He is quick thinker, and
puts his thoughts into action just as
quickly.
1t was a good exhibition of wrest
ling.
In the preliminary match Dick
Daviscourt, the Texas wrestler, met
and won from Jatrinda Gohar, the
Hindo champion. The first fall came
in 33 minutes and 43 seconds with
deadlock and the second in 8 minutes
and 81 seconds with a double wrist
lock.
T. w. Martin, city electrician,
refereed the bouts. The crowd was eX-
