Touch. accuracy, judgment of dis
tance-these all come to the player
who can swing, but without a good
swing he never even gets into the
realm of accomplishment in these
other golf attainments. In swing
ing the irons the ellipse described
by the ctubhead is somewhat mar
rover because the player stands
closer to his bali; otherwise the
swing IN essentially the same. The
timing lis little faster, because
with the iron you hit. while with
the wood you swing. The swing is
always the same; only the distance
travelled by the ciubhead changes
with the irons, since we have full
iron shots, half irons, quarter irons
and chips. There are push shots
and cut-spin shots that require
special treatment, but even in
these the swing changes but little
and ym not sure but what the
best opponents of these shots main
tain their original swing, accom-
plishfnE the result sought by other

In many institutions the game is
included among those sports which
students, being supported. as are the
rest, through receipts from foot ball
or by subscriptions.
Few Big Games Help.
At such institutions as Princeton,
Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and
other institutions with large alumni
bodies, base ball receipts cut a figure
in the annual net income from ath-
letics, but this is chiefly due to the
commencement day game crowds.
Now, there is no better game to
play and no prettier game to watch
than base ball, DR.. Reycroft, profes-
sor of hygiene at Princeton, says
that as an even developer of the body
there is no sport like it, and in the
way of inducing quick thinking. III
tIative and resourcefulness it has no
superior. And yet, in the main sup
port is poor and enthusiasm not keen.
Some educators believe that one
element of Professionalism, summer
base ball and other factors that tend
to place 1t under suspicion. They he
lieVe, too, that so much of the atmos-
phere and manners-on the part of
players and fans-of the organized
base ball parks have crept into the
college game as to detract from its
popularity. That flavor which should
marx a college athletic contest is
lacking, they maintain. and in ITS
place we find all that yammering, all
the demeanor and poise which have
come. whether rightfully or wrong
fully, to be associated with profess
sional base ball
Organized Games Attract.
On the other hand close students
of college athletics believe that col
lege base ball suffers because often
through the payment of less money
at the gate of an organized ball park
one can see the game better played.
In other words. the college game suf-
fers through professional competition

DRY AGENTS SHOT l BY INCONSISTENCIES
Meridian Officers Search For Three Brothers

MERIDIAN, Miss, July 10.-(Spe- cial. Agent D. H. Cleve- land was shot to death in a battle with three alleged moonshiners, eight miles south of Meridian, this afternoon, when he, in. company with Sheriff N E. Cannady, were attempting to raid a big still that was in operation and posses are securing the country in all directions seeking to capture three brothers, A., Ben and Clyde Pickett, white men, with whom it is alleged the battle WAS fought. Many shots were exchanged between the two officers but none took effect except those that killed Officer Cleveland.
 The sinners used shotguns, loaded with buckshot, the slain man being struck in the head and the upper part of the body nine times.
 After emptying their guns the moon sinners fled in the thick undergrowth to where they had horses staked, mount cd and went to their homes where they secured automobiles and made good their escape, according to the posses, who, however, have not given up the hunt, but are securing all the roads and tele- phoning in all directions in hopes of capturing all three men in the next few hours. After the battle Sheriff Can Eady had to walk distance of two miles to a telephone in order to secure assistance. He stated that when the still was approached, Dry Agent Cleve- land called to the operators to sur render, but instead they opened fire, at the same time retreating to a thick ct opposite.
 Dry Agent Cleveland, AS, before en- tering the service of the federal dry forces was a member of the Meridian police force and a fearless officer, ire quently raiding moonshine stills alone and had gained the enmity of moon sinners in many parts of the state, es- pecially in this section and his life had been repeatedly threatened. His home was in the city and he is survived by. his wife. =.
