This is known as the squares
stance. If this position does not
feel free, one can take more open
stance, that is to say, with the left
foot a little back from a straight
line with the right foot, but do not
place the left foot so far back as to
cause the right shoulder to intSr-
fere with the stroke. Your stance
should be firm and comfortable with
both heels tightly on the ground ana
at medium easy distance from the
ball.
In high wind one should stand
a little nearer 10 the ball. There
should be q medium bend to the
knees and the right heel should be
kent down to insure an equal dis
tributiOn OF weight. Hold your
shoulders straight at the begin
ming of the stroke with elbows
somewhat out.
The position of the ball should be
about off the left heel, sometimes
play the ball a little farther for
never too far back. Do not get the
weight of the body ahead of the
ball.
Do not turn the wrists up, for one
cannot hit with wrists in that posi-
ton. Before starting the actual
stroke I magine two Hnes-one rts-
ing from the center of the ball, the
other beginning a few inches back
of the ball and passing through it
to the hold which I call the direc-
ton line. Now place the club head
directly in back of the ball with
proper natural lie so that it will
face the ball at right angles to the
imaginary direction line and be sure
to keep the hands back of the mag
mary vertical line.
As soon as the ciubhead is IN

motion begins with a VibratOry
movement of hands and club,
sometimes called the preliminary
waggIe. that is, waving the club
head backwards and forward once
or twice over the ball. Do not
let your eye stray from the ball.
With the weight of the body

The field, O'Rourke declares, will
have accommodations for 10000,
but at prices ranging from $40 to
SIS, the attraction will hardly call
out a capacity crowd.
The fact that the bout follows
so closely upon the spendthrift
heels Of holiday is one thing that
argues against a sell-out. Another
is that Ktlbane and Criqui have
been in such wonderful condition
for two weeks that little activity
and consequently little news, has
developed at the two camps. Lack
of adequate publicity undoubtedly
has hurt the early sale of tickets.

Pop Krenb, who was having
trouble making his team eligible
for the junior class, has resigned
as president and manager Of the
Liberty club. The veteran base
ball leader, after two years Of
effort to put the Liberty team out
front, found the going too rough
to make it worth while. When the
boys began falling to appear for
games on scheduled time Pop
lacked up.
The Liberty club case is unus-
ual. Kremb's youngsters won
many more games than they lost.
They had a healthy bank account
and were well equipped.
When the club broke up money
and equipment were divided. The
Liberty players had advantages for
which many young sahdlot clubs

.ENGLE MIGHT HAVE BEEN =
CREMATED IN BLIZZARD
FrOstburg Man Had narrowing
Experience When Car Upsets.

While driving through a blizzard
on the National Road at Long
Stretch, six miles east of Grantsville,
enroute to Meyersdale, Pa, Tuesday
night, Cecil Engle, of Frostburg,
barely escaped with his life when his
Hudson car overturned and was de
stroyed by fire. Mr. Engle was alone
and was pinned beneath the car and
had he not been rescued by a motor
list who was passing at the time, he
would doubtless have been cremated.
The flames from the burning car il
Illuminated the whole countryside. The
car was completely consumed in less
than half an hour.
Mr.. Engle had encountered drifting
snow and high winds all along his
way. The outlines of the roadway
were completely obscued by snow
when he reached Long Stretch, and
in attempting to guess the way he
struck a post on which was fastened
John OpePs mail box. The car skid
ded and turned over, striking a second
pole before settling in the snow.
Mr.. Engle was slightly bruised
about the chest and arms. The car,
valued at $500, was fully insured
and what remained of it after the
fire was towed into Frostburg.

GERMAN OFFICER PAYS TRI-
Butte TOAVIATOR'SFAMILY
Mother of Louis Bennett, Re-
ceives Letter Describing
How Her Son Died.

Mrs. Louis Bennett of Weston, who
is a sister of Mrs. Fleming Howell,
Of Oakland, has received a letter
from Emil Merkelbach, former Ger
man aviator, telling how her son,
Lieut.. Louis Bennett, Jr., met his
death in the World War. Merkelbach
writes from Coblenz, Germany, as
follows:
Every Honorable Family Bennett:
l presume that it will interest YOU to
hear something definite Of the fate of
your son, Louis Bennett, Jr, AL
though you may think it strange for
a former enemy in the World War
to give an account of the death Of his
opponent, and it is unusual. l am
writing, as l was myself a German
officer and, having been present when
your son was wounded, wish to give
you the true particulars.
Gas balloon observer and pilot, l
was stationed in August, 1918, at a
small village called Little Hantay, in
Northern France. l had been in the
air several hours at the height Of
1000 meters when l noticed over the
British lines two enemy airships ma
neuyering., Suddenly I saw one Of
the aiIplanes prepare to descend up
on a German balloon. l at once or
dered my balloon lowered, and when
at about 200 meters height I saw the
attacked balloon near Meurchin
(Kohlengrubenbeit) burning and fall
ing to earth. At the same moment
l noticed that the enemy pilot was
approaching my balloon with great
speed, although our heavy machine
guns and airplane cannon were firing
at him at the time. The aviator paid
no attention but continued to follow
me.
From the height of 50 meters he
opened fire on my balloon with
bombs. Fortunately, I was not hit,
Jul JLE tLGhly dN4dIOI udQ UcSil S6o
afre through the attack of our ma
chine guns. He attempted to rescue
himself by jumping from his burn
ing machine before it would strike
the earth and be completely destroy
ed by fire. This brave and splendid
aviator wore an identification plate
marked Louis Bennett, Jr., Weston,
w. Va
your son lay unconscious about
10 meters from his entirely burned
machine. The hospital bearers of my
battery Immediately gave the seriou-
ly wounded aviator first aid, and
found he had both legs broken and
was shot in the head. He did not re-
gain consciousness when carried to
the army hospital at Marquilles,
North France. He died after a few
hours and was buried the following
day with military honors.
"a brave and splendid officer had
died a hero's death.
q hope these lines will give you
some comfort as to the fate of your
son. He was my bravest enemy.
Honor to his memory"
