Watch Stance
| When Playing
Uphill
BY Charles (Chick) Evans


I was an average of even tours
on my last round at Sciota going
to the seventh hole. Ny tee shot,
square down the center of the
course, came to rest on q steep
hill.
/ remember years ago that If I
had to play an uphill lie@I played
my ball a little farther forward.
Unfortunately forgot at this crit
cal moment, and played the ball
more off my right foot. AS a re-
suit, the clubhead poked into the
hillside and stopped, with the stiff
ground turning the blade little
bit. My ball flew into a very bad
position. The hole cost me six in
stead of possible three, and in
trying to recover from it / added
more strokes to my score. 1t was
a costly lesson, but I win never
again play an uphill lie without
remembering it.
What should have done is
this: Play the ball farther for.
ward-that is, more in trent Of
my left foot.
This would allow the clubhead to
sweep up the incline Of the hill
On this particular day there was a
big wind, which, of course. must be
allowed for always. and particularly
so II playing an uphill shot be-
cause the ball will go higher in the
air than ordinarily.
Another mistake l made on this
shot on that day is that / turned
the toe of my club in a little bit,
and It should have been turned
out. Players living around Chi
cago are at a disadvantage on a
hilly course.
Now II your lie Is not good
enough for you to take it off
the slope without going into the
turf, hit into It anyhow, as near.
" like the shot with a clean lie.
1 don't believe there is anything
in this taking a shorter grip OF
wider or narrower stance. Try
to reproduce your shot as far az
distribution Of weight is concerned
for If you let all your weight gel
on the right leg. as the tendency
| is, you are very apt to cut across
the bali so much that your line
| is apt to be destroyed.
It is a good idea to think Of hav
| ing your clubhead land into the
ball rather than getting the hands
ahead of the clubhead at time Of
contact. Forget where the ball il
going. and watch carefully the ex
ecution of this shot.

Goathsrd's Pretty
Tribute 10 Beauty


"Raquel Meller. the Spanish music
hall artist" said playwright, keeps
promising to come to America, and
then she goes back on her word. It's
a pity. For Raquel Meller isn't only
n great artist she's the most beautiful
creature In the world.
MANY stories are told IN Spain
about her beauty. Here's one that
can vouch for.
..In Malaga last year she presided
over a booth at q charity bazaar. A
sunburnt young goatherd from Mijas
halted before this booth one after
noon and stood quite still for long
time, gazing at her with ardent and
humble admiration in his dark eyes.
She. of course, Is accustomed TO that
sort OF thing. 30 she took no notice,
but when the young goatherd planked
a five-resets piece down on the coun-
ter, heassd a loud sigh and turned to
20, she called him back.
@'W0n't you have something for
your money, senorT she said. In her
sweet, fresh voice.
sThe goatherd took or his hat,
bowed and answered:
I've had more than my moneys
worth already, thank you, ma'am.

Met Commissioner

There was a meeting with the State Highway Commissioner. Jahn A. Mac. donald. former Putnam boy. and he exhibited the plans of his engineers. It was the commissioner who suggest. ed that the bridge be made a memorial bridge to the Veterans of the World War.
 Right here be it said. that 1t was through the personal interest of the commissioner, his cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and town off eials, and his personal efforts in rush. ing the work to completion, ably as- sisted by Contractor Haggerty of Web ster, who kept his men on the job night and day, that 1t was possible to hold the dedication of a completed bridge, bridge which is a credit to the commissioner. the contractor. and the town, on Armistice Day, 1925.
 The next step taken by the Cham Der of Commerce was to appoint a special memorial committee. This committee, one stormy day, made an automobile trip to Nashua, N. H.. to consult with the manufacturing con cern that eventually designed and cast the bronze memorial tablets that are attached to the bridge. The commit tee returned the same night in time to attend the first general meeting of the Chamber. Following this meeting. at a late hour, the committee made it's re- port to the directors and the report, and further plans, were discussed.
 This was really the beginning of the movement that resulted in the dedication of a memorial bridge in Putnam. From that time on plans were formulated, and moved slowly forward, to give Putnam. as member of the directors, who was also a mem- Der of the memorial committee, ex- pressed it-"A celebration that the

Refreshments were served The third and last meet ing was April 18th, with Dr. Willard Scott as speaker, with refreshments at the close. There was also orches- tral music at the two latter meetings.
 Bus Situation
 The Chamber of Commerce took an active part in meetings held during the replacing of trolley cars with busses, and supported the Connecticut Company and the New England Transportation Company in their ef- forts to be awarded the privilege of furnishing transportation in this sec tion. It was believed that these reli- able companies working in eonjunc- tion with the railroad, of which they are subsidiaries, could furnish better and more satisfactory service than in dependent concerns. Other business organizations along the line held the same views. The public utilities com mission gave the trolley company per mission to change to busses and the New England Transportation Com pany permits to operation in this ter ritory.
 Public Parking
 For the first time in it's history. Putnam has a free public parking place. The common council had wres- tied for some years with this import ant problem without success. The Chamber of Commerce came to the councils assistance by appointing a committee to secure a proper site. The committee obtained, without cost, the large area at the foot of Bundy street. The common council was quick to CO., operate in the project and provided for temporary lighting. At the last council meeting, held the first Tuesday of this month, vote was passed au- thorizing the permanent lighting of the parking place. IL was SO late in the season last year when the grounds were thrown open that the venture hardly had good tryout. However, the number of automobile drivers who parked there exceeded the number an- ticipated by the committee, and 1t is cor 5sn''y believed ~ u parking te genera lis sum
