Grip the club we'll with the end OF
the fingers. Keep the grip well away
from the palm OF the hands. Swing
with muscles relaxed rather than
tense. (Tenseness will ruin good
swing quicker than anything else.)
Use a slow upward swing. Pause
slightly at the top OF the backswing
Keep the body ont OF the downward
swing.
This method should successfully
restrain the player and prevent him
from trying to slaughter the ball 1t
is hard to make the average golfer

Schwiess was "A years old and had retired on small pension, having executed his last victim in Cologne late in 1923.

 Argamasilla gave his first demon stration last night in a local hotel. He apparently read names through sil- yer metal box, through tin box and through an iron box. Finally he told the time through gold hunting case watch, so it seemed.
 Houdini, who previously had offer ed meet a wager that the Span-- iard's faculty was genuine and who was a spectator at the demonstration, was unconvinced. His accusation of trickery caused an uproar and the Spaniard's friends refused to permit test
 Then the American magician blind folded himself, had five men hold their hands over his eyes. looked at the closed watch and said it was 1850 o'clock. He was exactly one hour out of the way. Unchagrined by his failure, he said he would duplicate Argamassilla' feat another time.
