In putting the weight should be
kept on the left foot, keeping the
body perfectly still. The motion is
made with the arms and wrists. If
the weight is shifted from one loot
to the other the putt will not go
straight, nor can distance be gauged
properly during weight shifting"
Many players move their knees
when putting. If the weight is kept
on the left foot it will stop this
unsteadying motion of the knees.
Putting with the weight on the
right foot inclines the player to
lift the ball, and the ball will jump
instead of rolling smoothly. If the
weight is conferred it is much more
of temptation to get that kne'
motion, causing the body to move
thereby destroying accurate putting

Tommie Kat, as you know, was
little pussy boy. He wore a soft

hidden in his velvet paws were
sharp claws. Tommie could stick
these claws in the bark of trees
and climb away up TO the top.
TOmmie Kat also had sharp
teeth, just as had his sister, Kittie
and his brother, Joie. But the worst
of it was that, while Joic and Kittie
were very careful about cleaning
their teeth night and morning,
Tommie often forgot to clean his.
Tommie!' his mother would
call to him, after he had gotten in
the warm bed, "did you ciean your

ooh, III clean them in the

"No, no! You must clean them

"Oh, IN rub my tongue over
them. That will clean them well
