Pressing for Distance
Beginners Fault
BY NIKE BRADY, Western Open Champion

power is three-quarters wasted. The
force of the stroke may be wasted
on the back swing, or on the first part
OF the downward stroke.
The frail chap, through proper
pivoting, supple wrists and smooth
ness of the swing, has his club head
travelling at maximum velocity when
it comes in contact with the ball.
With smooth, rhythmic swing,
you will be surprised how far the
ball will go without the expenditure
of every ounce of strength.
Even Abe Mitchell. tremendous
hitter that he is. usually has some
thing "up his sleeve" for use when
occasion calls for extra distance.
But when NJ presses" it is for =
purpose. and he knows that he will
be sure to hit the ball where and
as he intends.

TRENTON, April 10:-Senator
Joseph Wallworth, president of sem

of Legislative probe committee which
will investigate the activities of the
ousted Edwards State Highway Com
mission, particularly with reference
to the acquisition of lands for the
Perth Amboy bridge.

and secretary, other members of the
committee are Senator's Richards of
Atlantic, and Bright of Cape May,
and Assemblymen Chamberlin of
Essex and Welsh of Hunterdon. The
latter is the only Democrat on the
committee.
Col. Walter T. Whittemore of New
ton, a member of the Edwards COM
mission, has filed his personal ans
wer to the suit brought by the at
torney general to recover the alleg-
ed excess amount paid by the state
for the approaches to the Amboy
bridge. The property was bought
from the Donnell Lumber Company
and the price was s2S0,000.
The Colonel says that he voted on
March 28. last for the acquiring of
property and in so doing approved
of purchase of an additional 30 fect
of the land on each side of ap-
proaches for the purpose of max
ing an earth fill and III order to
eliminate the presence of any build
ing or fire hazards close to the APP
proaches.
This plan, he declared. ccntem-
plated a saving of over the original
plan of construction, which accord
ing to Engineer Charles A. Mead
who was then advising the COM
mission, would mean a saving of
100000 as 1t would eliminate the
concrete viaduct first considered in
the plans. He denies any knowledge
of any transaction between any
member of board and the Donnel.
Lumber Company.
