This is equal to saying that the golf
swing, being a matter Of exact move
ments, must be dominated by one con-
trolling factor-poise. Or, In a palmer
word, balance. The moment You get
out Of balance your swing goes bad.
Many players do not vet know what
1t Is to make a swing with balance
throughout. Balance refers here to
the control of the body so that the ex-
ertionS flow one into the other until
the eXertion AS whole is finished.
Because of the wrong mental pic
ture so many golfers get of the pivot,
| they begin the back swing with the
idea that the first thing is to begin
twisting the entire body to the right.
That is not pivoting And turning the
body that way leads Immediately to
the bad practice of starting the club
| with the body instead of with the
| hands. The hands lead, the body fol
| lows. In Figure ] We see player who
has started back by twisting his body
around The club head, being only a
few feet back from the ball, the body
should still be facing the ball, as in the
address,. At just about this point the
| shoulders should first begin to turn,
! following the club. The player who
follows such practice will lose his bal
ance before his back swing really is
started Observe Figure >. Here you
see the body facing sauarely to the
ball, but the club head has been
broken back from the ball with the
la nds. until It is we'll started. Star
I to ball and try this, stopping the
club head at this point. Be careful to
see that the shoulders and the body
do not turn. Then. from this point.
let the club go naturally and observe
how easily and naturally the body falls
in with it, the shoulders turning natu
rally and accomplishing the pivot.
The pivot is in the shoulders-almost
wholly above the waist. This practice
VIII give you a sense of true balance
with your swing.

Aiken, s. c., Nov. 12.-Nollie Rob-
inson, Sheriff of Aiken county, aged
Al years, was accused Thursday OF
delivering to the mob which lynched
three Negroes, one a woman, on the
morning of October 8.
Before the coroner's jury Robinson
testified that he was overpowered
suddenly by men who had gained ac-
cess to the jailer's house after he had
pleaded with them to disperse. He
swore that he recognized none of
them and fired two shots in the strug-
gle before he was disarmed. The
Jury took his word and returned
verdict that the lynchings had been
done "by persons unknown" The
grand jury met and questioned few
witnesses and reached the same ver-
dict.
On last Thursday there appeared
before two of the men who have been
most out-spoken in their criticism OF
the lynchings-Austin H. johnson,
defeated candidate for sheriff, and
James L. Quinby, an eccentric gen
tleman of middle age-two prisoners
who were in Jail at the time the
three Lowman Negroes were taken
from the building and lynched.
The two prisoners were Mrs. Lucy
Mooney (white) of Augusta, Ca, and
Charles e. Lee (white }of Savannah,
Ga. The first, girl about 19 years
old, occupied a cell on the same floor
as that of Bertha Lowman. The
Mooney woman said she was being
held there as a state witness in
liquor case, having been caught by
Robinson's deputies walking away
from an automobile in which they
found liquor.
She said the cell she occupied is
part of a separate tier from that
for Negro women prisoners, but
through the bars of. the aperture in
the big steel door shutting off that
tier she could watch the steps down
which Bertha Lowman could have
been brought by the lynchers. It is
also said that the steel flap over the
aperture in the steel door was not
closed on the night of the lynching.
Makes Affidavit.
OF what the Georgia woman says
she saw, she swore in an affidavit
Thursday before Mr.. Quinby, as a
notary public. Her affidavit states:

part of September, 1926, by Officer

HOMES FOR PARK
Ruse of Improvement Associa-
tion to Gust Negroes From
Locality Foiled.

Park Board Declares Plan Had
No Merit; Without Power to
Arrange Restriction.
(From The Kansas City CALI


Kansas City, Mo.-The park board
Thursday afternoon fatty refused to
recommend the condemnation of 62
Negro homes as petitioned for by the
Linwood Improvement association.
Representatives of the Linwood as
sociation present were told, "This
board turns your proposition down
because it has no merit"
Not Needed for Park.
F. C. Sharon, president of the
board, pointed out to A. J. Drummer,
spokesman for the Linwood associa-
tion, that the land on which the
homes are situated is not needed for
park space.
"The board has gone into this pro-
posal thoroughly" Mr.. Sharon said.
1--WE have even been through the dis
trict sought to be condemned. We
find there is no necessity for this
condemnation as there is park space
enough in that district for years to
come"
Brunner demonstrated that the
members of the Linwood association
were willing to buy the homes and
land and present it to the city for
park. Mr.. Sharon pointed out in
return that the board would be un-
willing to consider the proposal even
under those circumstances and the
board already had mure park space
to care for than it had money.
Foster Refuses Flatly.
Brunner then addressed himself to
Matt Foster, newly appointed men,
Der of the board to fill the place of
Edward Zea, who died recently.
Brunner pointed out that signers of
the petition were influential and
wealthy and asked Mr.. Foster If he
had read the petition. He was con-
siderably taken back when Mr.. Fos-
ter said he had not read the petition.
"This board" said Mr.. Foster, sis
concerned with only one angle of
this case: Is it necessary to take this
land for park purposes? We have
found that it is not necessary and
therefore cannot consider your pro-
