PLURALITY TO 50,t63
BREWSTER'S LEAD 36,018
DEMOCRATS HAVE
NOTHING TO REGRET:
VIEW PATTANCALL

Hon. William r. Pattangall Of this
city. Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. who was defeated in Mondays
election, Tuesday, said that he re-
ceived 10000 votes which Is a gain
Of 10000 over his vote of two years
ago and a gain of 5000 given the
Democratic candidate for governor
in 1920.
Senator Brewster's plurality is
$1,000 as against Gov. Bakers 49,
600 in 1922 and Gov. Parkhurst's
$1,000 in 1920" continued Mr.. Pat
tangall.
IAN analysis of the returns indi-
Gates that approximately 1900
otherwise straight Republicans voted
for me and that approximately 1000
voters who are normally Democratic,
when they vote at all. voted for
Senator Brewster.
1.-TWO thirds of my increased vote
came from the cities and one third
from the country. The total vote
is $1,000 larger than in 1920 and
Is, COO larger than in 1922,
THE victory Is distinctly a VIC
tory for the Khan which was close
ly allied with the Republican or
ganization and which is largely res
ponsible for the increased vote as
we'll as for a substantial contribu-
ton of Democrats to the Republican
column.
1T is gratifying to me TO know
that received a vote 50 per cent
larger than ever given to any other
Democratic candidate for governor
of Maine. I speak for the entire
army of 10000 Maine men and
women who supported my candidacy
when l say that IL we hac the fight
to make again we would stand by
the same principles we fought for
Monday.
"rhe future will justify the posi-
ton we took. We are temporarily
defeated by a combination of reli-
gious intolerance and blind toler-
ance and blind rartizanship, but
Maine will not long endure the rule
of the Khan, and the Republican or
ganization will find it a difficult
partner witt: which to do business.
1.-The Democratic party of Maine
comes out of this fight with nothing
to regret and ready to do battle
again and at any time for the right
as it sees the right"

KlNSEYS CLEAN UP
IN TOURNEY FINALS

SOUTHAMPTON, Long Island, n. Y,
August 9.-Howard Kinsey, who won
consideration as serious contender
for a place on the American Davis cup
team throught his triumph last week
over Bill Johnston at Seabright, y. j.,
became a still more serious contender
this afternoon when, in one of the
greatest exhibitions of skill and spirit,
he defeated Harvey Snodgrass of Los
Angeles in tho final singles match in
the forty-first annual invitation tour
nament of the Meadow Club, 3-6,
IS, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.
1t was very much a kinsey day,
for Howard's triumph in the singles
was preceded by a brilliant demon
stration by the San Francisco broth
ers, he and Bob. in which, by defeat
ing the Australian pair. Norman
Brookes and Richard Schlesinger, 3-6,
IS, GO, GO, they won for the third
successive year the doubles champion
ship and gained permanent possession
of the Meadow Club bowls.
During the first two sets, Kinsey.
in his match with Snodgrass, was
continually on the defensive. Getting
the ball back over the net was his
chief problem and a defensive chop
stroke was about all he dared employ
But early in the third set there
came distinct change, there was
little less psce on Snodgrass' returns
and little less confidence in his play
and Kinsey. quickly seizing the situa-
ton, switched from defensive to of
fensive play. He trotted out his ex-
tensive repertoire of strokes, and be-
gan forcing the issue and pressing
into every opening that developed.
Once he got Snodgrass going he kept
him on the run.
In the match with the Australians
the Kinseys played the youthful
Schlesinger constantly, and after
good start he went to pieces.

MUNY TENNIS TITLE

DETROIT, August 9.-Major laurels
of the 1924 national municipal tennis

San Francisco collected the doubles
crown in the concluding matches of
the tournament when Cranston Hol-
man and Frank Ragan registered a
straight sets victory over Ted Drewes
and Ted Heueremann, st. Louis, 6-2,
6-2, 6-3.
MerkeI was unable to cope with
Drewes' service in the singles. He
was away off his game and was
clearly outplayed. At no stage
did he have a commanding position.
Drewes was in the van all the way in
each set. Occasionally, Merkel fought
back with flashes of skill, but was
unable to sustain his rallies.
In the doubles, San Francisco was
as convincing as Drewes in the sin

any set, was outstroked and out
paced, and lacked the finished team
play of the Californians. Ragan and

low to the ground on the follow

Of sod, You may, IL you wish, let
your right arm fairly stiff arm lab
the blade through the ball.
Shoot straight for the pin. Because
of the outward reach with the arms
in the beginning of the back swing,
your blade, coming down, will cut
across the ball as IL takes il, but IL
will not cause the ball to slice. The
blade cuts through the ball so hard
that after -practicing the shot. you
can find traces of the paint off the
ball adhering to the steel. You have
only to practice the degree of cut you
wish for the different distances to
make this highly useful shot a part
of your regular equipment. word
of caution is: Lay The blade back
some when the distance is = short
that is, flatten the blade down towaSd
the ground. And, above all, hold the
head still until you have hit the ball
Push Shot Is vicious.
The push shot is trfe vicious shot of
golf and has great value, because it
teaches the golfer to throw his
weight forward with his impact with
the ball. This throw of the weight
should be made with all shots, and IN
the push shot 1T really makes the
shot
Evening star., 1924-08-10

For the push, which is best made
with the midiron, but which can be
made well with any wood, you take
the club back In the regular way for
the full swing. The only change here
is In the forward swing. Remem-
ber that a full shot with the iron
takes the three-quarters swing.
Shift your weight in going back and
start down in the regular manner
then when you are about half way
wrists and arms and literally chop
the ball away by throwing your en-
tire body weight right into it, You
accomplish this by throwing all your
weight forward-that is, toward the
hole ahead-by jabbing forward
on a straight line right through the
ball with arms and wrists stiffened.
The clubhead at the finish is seme
feet or so ahead of the ball and
your hands. Thus there is no change
because of the stfffened wrists and
arms In the relation of the shaft to
your wrists and arms as you go
through the ball. The stroke is made
IN the segment of some or 4
feet with the clubhead right through
the ball. You seem to hit more with
your hips than with any other part of
the body; You simply jab your
weight into the ball.
the eyes, as the saying goes, but If
the stroke lacks in prettiness the
flight of the ball doesn't. The ball
will hug the ground beautifully, rise
with a sort of jump on the far end
of its flight and fall dead. The punch
of the weight into il makes it take
the maximum distance. Some of our
British stars use this stroke with
their woods for enormous distances
against the wind. Cyril Walker at
Detroit during the open championship
got out behind the clubhouse and
practiced this long iron shot with
great diligence, because the first trip
around Oakland Hills revealed that
the long iron up to the well trapped
greens would be the shot, in his
that would win the title.
He was right.
One thing is sure about the push
he who merely dallies with this will
get nowhere. You go after this push
with determination and as if you
meant business. When you throw
your weight into the ball for the push
shot | mean that you yeritably slam
it in. You sock it in there, as the
prize fighters say. This is no bust
ness for the niceties of form and
style The push shot has only one
purpose on the golf course, and that
is to get results. 1t is the rough

The cut shot in its value to the

but Capt. Patterson gave Mexico per-
mission to use Gerdes when it was
found out that Llano had sprained
his back in yesterdays match.
The Australians won with ease and
completely outclassed the Mexicans
today. Both Wood and Patterson
were content to remain on the base
line and allow the Mexicans to beat
themselves. This they did by con-
tinualiy overdriving. Neither Pat
