CLEVELAND. April 21.-Organized

here at a dinner given in his honor

The high spot in the clubs pro-

Nine. PaVloska pleaded for just as
much support for American opera

aS you stand in the stance. Do
not turn them so far as to make
your position uncomfortable. Small
movements Of the feet become OF
great consequence If the move

margin TO change your comfort

While many players obtain hooks
and slices by altering the stance,
the wrist rolling is much better
because when the stance fs
changed you are likely to lose
your accustomed comfort, while
yOu are almost sure TO reach for
the ball instead of waiting for the
club to do it's work. The mind
controls the rolling of the wrists.
Determine that you want to roll

Don't try to roll them consciously.
