VICTIM OF AMNESIA

Robert Dyer Lived and Worked as James Ryan; Memory Gone

St. Louis, Jan. 25.-Robert Dyer 23 who mysteriously disappeared from his home in Massillon. Ohio, in Aug ust, 1919, and for whom d nation wide search has been conducted, was found in St. Louis yesterday bearing the name of James Ryan.
 An apparent victim of amnesia. he explained to reporters and the police that during four years of wandering he has worked hard and could not re- member clearly the relatives in Ohio who have sought him.
 He denied at first that he was Dyer. stating that he once had met such q nan in Chicago. When shown mes sages and data from his relatives and friends in Massilon who identified him by a description sent by wire sev- eral days ago, he finally admitted his identity.
 Asked his reasons for leaving home, he only stroked his chin and replied that the whole affair puzzles him. He alludes to an operation in 1917 which he claims resulted in his present in- ability to remember things, but can give no details of the operation.
 l.. ]. Heinrichs. with whom the youth has been rooming, said he had known Dyer for some time and had obtained work for him at a stove company, and, because the youth ap- parently was in mental distress, had taken him into his home.

self.
If you stand in address at the golf
ball a line drawn from the center of
the back of your neck. which is your
swing center, would go downward to
some definite point. In your particu-
lar case, where would this point be?
1t should be to your heels. 1t should
be so definitely to your heels that
your toes are free to move up and
down in your shoes. IL you stand
on your toes your sense of balance
is off. Some golfers. 1 know, from
ong-~experience and an abundance of
confidence, seem to hit off their toes.
Walter Hagen is one. Those players
can do that because they have a won
derfully trained sense of balance.
1t is common practice with some of
them to take the club back for one
kind of shot, then change while the
club is swung forward and make an
entirely different kind of a stroke.
This comes from supreme confidence,
and supreme confidence results from
perfect balance.
In the back swing give the club
time enough. 1t is not we'll to be
deliberate and too slow. Compare
the back swing with walking. Get
the rhythm of walking into 1T. You
know that stop in walking requires
just so much time, and you allow
yourself that much time. Do the
same thing with your club. Get re-
Taxed, AS in walking. Let the club
naturally swing back while your
weight transfers-exactly as 1T would
transfer in walking.
Then, from the top-and still with
that relaxation you would have in
walking-let the club start down. AS
1T nears the bottom of it's arc, apply
your pressure. Throw the clubhead
with your hands. Throw your weight
through your left hip. Give the club
forward into the direction line
time to get fairly well down toward
the bottom of its arc before you
throw. Be very careful to maintain
that relaxation in your hands, wrists
and arms. You cannot throw the
clubhead If these members are stiff
and rigid. Instead, you will merely
sweep the ball away. With relaxa-
ton, and by taking sufficient time
you can make everything meet at this
ball. But to do so you must allow
yourself sufficient time for the club
head to get there with you.
The art of timing the golf club
head is in reality the art of making
yourself take the time required for
the muscular effort to be made. Keep
that thought in mind.
For every golfer in this land who
is too slow and deliberate there are

If any average golf dub would take
a driver in his hands and swing it
back and forth as he leisurely walked

foot he would naturally and instinc-
lively swing the club with the ut
most Of rhythm and balance. If one
trying this demonstration would next
place the clubhead~ directly back of
the ball, meanwhile having the heels
touching with no thought of correct
stance, then would take a step di
rectly back from the ball with the
right foot. letting the club naturally
swing exactly as it swung while he
previously walked. he might get for
the first time a sense of the relaxa-

the correct golf swing. The swing
is made with physical eaSe-just like
that The muscles of the entire body
are free Of rightly, just as they are
when walking. You use the muscles
only to the extent required for the
purpose in view-no more. Trying to
force them beyond the requirements
of swinging the 14-ounce clubhead
is what promotes the ruinous stiff

serbs all the strength of the muscles
in itself, so there is none left to ap-

Thus 1t may be seen that rhythm
is impossible without balance, so it
may be helpful for golfers to under

what promotes it, and thus begin
with better swing at the proper be-
ginning point. All good things in

alton in this factor of the swing is
enough to break up the finest game.
In 1922 Chick" Evans, f1nalist in the
national amateur championship at
Brookline, lost his match because, as
few in the gallery really knew, his
timing was persistently a bit early
and he was unable to get it out of
his system in time to enable him
to put forth his best golf in this
crisis. One Of the seemingly strange
antics of the art of timing the golf
club is that it deserts tournament
golfers just at the time they most
need It, This is not hard to under
stand, however. because the intensely
delicate responsiveness of muscle re-
quired for the most exact timing is
most likely to desert the player when
