The grip depends largely on the
shape and size of the players hands.
1t is not at AL necessary to overlap
, or interlock. The two handed finger
grip with the left thumb down the
shaft almost covered by the right
hand Is best suited for the average
golfer, because II tends to give more
freedom of hand movement than
does the overlap. If one has fat,
puffy hands and short fingers the
baseball grip is best suited. Women
with small hands should never over
lap. but instead should use the two
handed grip first mentioned.

MONDAYS CARD
 NOW COMPLETE
Stevie SarrOn And Danny Stevens Clash In Semi
 Final

Dave Evans, matchmaker for the Birmingham Athletic club, announced Wednesday night that the card for the Monday night show had been com pleted in every detail and that all the boxers were waiting eagerly for the sounding of the gong starting what looks to be the best sport show ever staged by the B. A. 0. The card is made up of twenty-six rounds of box ing and ten rounds of wrestling, giy- ing the ftAswt thirty-six rounds before the curtain goes down on the last act.
 Of course the main interest centers in the Claude Wilson-Boots Antley scrap and the fans are anxious to see if Boots can repeat his stunt of knock ing Claude out or just managing to land a fluke blow on an under-trained man in their first meeting. Claudio is primed for the fight of his. life, hay ing been taking workouts at the club all this woke since he arrived from the east. Antley is expected to be towed up the cinder channel in the next day or so.
 Stevie Sarron and Danny Stevens will furnish the thrills in one of the six-round semi-windup attractions. OduuF DeaL oISNlS. severely HI IASlF last meeting but this was over a year ago. Stevie has started a comeback since then and has been unleasing his old hay-maker with monotonous regular ity.
 The other six round affair will be between Young Hood, who won over Sailor Simpson at the last card and the old reliable Bobie Saab. Joe Larechi and Scrapiron Williams from Nash vile, Tenn, will appear in a four round tilt while Charlie Vincent and Kid Lott will wrestle over the ten round route. Lott already beaten by Vincent once, claims that he wasn't in shape at that time.
 B. A. c. officials are adding extra seats in the gym and making every preparation to entertain one of the big gest crowds that ever attended B. A. c. card. Fact that Antley knocked Wilson, recognized to be one of the cleverest little fellows in the business, out in Columbus, O., has caused much interest among the local bugs. They want to see if Wilson has really started on the road to eOmeback-ville. The ad- vance seat sale is now on and Secre- tary-Coach Erwin states that out-of- town reservations will be cared for when accompanied by a money order or cash.

Kinney Silk, Flo Patch, Nicho las and Trampanew faced as a team and blanket could have covered then as they finished noses apart. With the exception of Daisy Pointer, which made a break. and was distanced, the rest of the field finished well together behind the first six.
 The finish of the. second heat of the same event also was a thriller between the first four horses. Jakie O'Connori the winner of this mile, wasf neck in front of Trampanew, Flying Direct and Laura Forbes, which were sepa- rated only by noses.
 The result of the Sportsman was never in doubt Driven by the vet eran, Leon McDonald, Colonel Bos- worth took an early lead in the two heats he won and was never headed Erla Guy, which finished second in the two miles, was withdrawn because of a sore mouth, Progressive, her stable mate, taking the consolation.

Hints
BY the
Father of
Physical
Culture


If your eyes are weak or your
sight impaired in any manner
whatsoever, one of the first re-
auirements for improvement is. to
build up a better state Of the gen
cral health. an SEE
1t may have been your eXper-
fence, just as it has been that of
countless others, that signs of
weakness of the eyes, falling Of the
sight twitching of the egelids and
smarting and i7nrning sensation
have accompanied a condition of
depleted vitality After your
health has been restored you have
found that your eyes grew stronger
and better, giving you little or no
further trouble.
Practically every one has had
some such experience. At all
events it is undeniably true that
the condition of the general health
is very largely reflected in the eyes,
just as it is in the voice, in the
complexion, in ones whole mental
and physical bearing. AS soon as
you build vitality, strengthen the
nervous system and improve the
condition of the ROod, the eyes
acquire new vigora
The reason for Ga this is obvious.
The eyes depend upon the blood

quality and purity it will tend to
Keep these organs vigorous, just as
al parts of the bodys are thus
kept vigorous. If the blood is in
poor co4ditjon, filed with impur-
itics ana sluggishy circulated,
thcn you cannot expect to keep
your eyes, or any other part of your
body, in the best condition. 1t is
for this reason that good digestion,
active elimination and general
functional vigor must be consider
81 II you wish 10 improve the con-
clifton OF. your eyes.
One of the first lessons for every
man. woman or child TO learn is
that illness is ones own fault. 1t
is purely a matter of cause and
effect. Sickness comes as an in
.Jcl table result OF habits and con-
ditions Of life which would logic
ally produce such a result. Health
is merely the effect of normal and
natural habits of life. If you

Nature you make illness practice
