It is what brings about the flick

The firm left leg and the firm
left hip must support the blow that
sends the ball screaming on it's way
down the fairway. When this is
done properly the clubhead is kept
in it's proper plane and prevented
from getting out of line. The firm
left wrist and firm left hip at the
moment of hitting helps to guard
against a maximum body action
which is, of course, something to
be avoided.
Bobby Jones represents a per-
feet example of hitting against

motion of Jones you'll see that

WHAT A NICKEL
CAN DO {!
The Lowly Five cent Piece
Now Buys a Bully Cigar,
Full of Flavor and Aroma

Yes, men, a nickel does buy a
regular humdinger of a good cigar.
Sounds fishy to some of the broth
ers, no doubt. Maybe they've worked
out on some of the ordinary
brands, made to sell for a nickel,
volume regardless. The cigar we're
shouting about sold at more than a
nickel for years. The volume went
up. We reduced the price, lacked
up the quality even higher.
Today that cigar is selling by
the million on quality alone. That's
the only reason you can buy such
cigar as this. at five cents each. It's
made of ripe tobacco. It's mild.
It's fine-favored. But nothing we
say will convince you like your first
long pull at Havana Ribbon. Lay
down nickel and pick up a HaUana
Ribbon any place you buy smokes.
Put that cigar into action right off
the bat. You'll carry off a dozen
with you and drop in next day for
more. But don't take our word
let the cigar convince you.

The close finish in the National
league race, followed by the poor
showing of the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the worlds series games with
the Yankees has started anew the
old cry:
''The best team didn't win the pen
nant in the National league"
And along with that cry comes
the agitation again for some sort
of an elimination series between
the two or three leading teams of
each league to preeede the inter
league clash.
Jack Hendricks, whose Cincin-
natl Reds always have been conten-
ders in the National league race,
and had look-in for a time this
year, and finally did have something
to say in crushing the chances OF
the Cubs and Cards, although the
Giants cleaned up on them, attend
ed the games.
put the oft-made suggestion OF
"a preliminary series before the
! worlds series to him.
1T would be interesting for the
fans, perhaps, but wouldn't mean
much in the first place" said Jack.
"a team that wins the most games
over a stretch of 154 ball games is
entitled to be called the best team.
Any short series that follows, like
the worlds series, is pro and con
affair = an uncertain proposition.
There always will be a question as
to which was the better team in
such a series. Bring two more or
four more teams into post sea-
son series of any kind lasting only
few games, and you would simply
add to the discussion.
1.-The worlds series in which we
played was a nine-game series, but
that wasn't satisfactory.
Secondly, you would have to
curtail the regular season further
to prevent a greater overlapping
into the football season. / think
we run too late now. We are for
tunate when we have good weather
for the worlds series"
The disappointing playing of the
Pirates got on the nerves OF even
the most enthusiastic Pirate sup
tiers before the late innings of the
second game.
Fielding errors in each game
seemed to throw the team into a
state bordering on decentralization.
There was no effort toward strate-
gis base running. 1t must be said
in defense of the Pirates, that the
situation was such at all times in
both games that there was litCIe
excuse for using the sacrifice. The
old John clout was needed most of
the time.
Those who witnessed the second
game at Pittsburgh also witnessed
the unusual spectacle of the home
town fans turning against the
manager who had lifted the team

Hard, continual practice has
marked the two weeks which have
elapsed since the opening game
with Cardiff, when the locals liter
ally trampled their opponents into
the turf. Several weaknesses which
were revealed in this game have
been overcome by Coach Craig.
Notable among these is interior
ence. 1t is expected the team will
show marked improvement in the
game Sunday.
Last week the Olympics scored
an impressive victory over Mill
vile, crushing their opponents by a
score of 48-0. Members of the To-
cal team who saw the game Sun
day in order to get line on what
Sundays game will be like, express
ed themselves today as surprised at
the Olympics' strength.
Efforts are being made to have a
large crowd of Pleasantville rooters
present at the Inlet Sunday. The
game will be tough one, and the
Green team deserves every bit of
support local fans can give it.
Practices have been held by the
Pleasantville team throughout the
past week, and another session is
scheduled for tonight at the electric
light plant. Coach Craig and Man
ager Somers Steelman said today
that any new talent that wishes a
chance to try out with the team
still has the opportunity.

New York, Oct. 21.-Is tennis
about to lose its greatest player?
The net world would like to know
and is watching Rene Lacoste,
worlds finest court star, with
anxiety.
Lacoste so say visitors from
sunny France. where the tennis
wizard has his habitat, may soon
elinquish his net hOnors and plunge
into business.
Son of wealthy Frenchman,
Lacoste has often been urged by
his father to forego sports and try
few backhand smashes at bust
ness problems.
Lacoste, senior. can point to him.
self as an example of the wiseness
of such a course. A famous oars
man in his day, the elder Lacoste
quit at the height of fame and en-
tered business, where he has been
very successful.
Three years ago, at the time
Rene first came to America. the
elder Lacoste asked him to quit.
Rene answered that unless he be-
came champion of champions he
would not quit.
Now Rene's ambition has been
realized. There is none in the tennis
world who can stand before his
racquet and his great tennis attack
Satisfied-will he quit?
Rene plays almost perfect tennis.
He never makes an error. He plans

from a demoralized outfit to a pen
nant-winning team.
Fans stood up in blocks to de-
mand the substitution of Hazen
Cuyler, star outfielder, for weak
hitters. Cuyler's suspension, and
subsequent exclusion from the line
up of the team in the late weeks
of the campaign had been the
cause of comment before that, but
not for out-spoken disapproval.
There also came cries of Bring

John McGraw, whose Giants made
a belated effort to overtake the

the event this year, was eliminated
in the play ap to the finals.
Miss Collett proved to be a real
stepping stone to Helen last winter
in Florida when the champion
woman golfer of Maine broke into
more prominence by her surprising
victories over the national women's
golf champion. Twice Helen defeat
ed Miss Collect, the second time in
the finals of the Belleair champ
ionship for women.
Always fond of golf, she began
playing it eight years ago when
seventeen years of age. But only
in the last few years did she take
the game seriously She is modest
in her success and contributes her
victory more to the playing Of her
opponents than her own superior
work.

CITY is LAUDED
FOR LEADING IN
MANAGER PLAN
Northwestern Expert Sees
Adoption as Turning
Point of Politics.

Adoption of the city manager form
of government in Indianapolis prob
ably was a turning point in In
diana politics." said DR.. A. r.
Hatton, Northwestern University
political science expert today.
DR.. Hatton talked on Making
the manager plan effective in In
dianapolis," before the League OF
Women Voters at the Columbia
Club.
1.-THE successful campaign for
adoption of the manager plan was
a significant forward step for In
dianapolis," DR.. Hatton declared.
Calls Victory Revolt
1.-THE victory was revolt against
local political conditions, but unlike
most political uprisings in this
country, it was not merely destruc-
tive. 1t was an expression of re-
newed faith in the possibility of eff
fective popular government in cities,
faith now existing but feebly in
the neighboring state of Illinois.
until the revolt, Indiana had
been a laggard in the struggle for
better city government. While
doubtless diStaSteful in some re-
spects, 1t is one of the most hopeful
political moves I have seen. The
State apparently has set out de-
liberately to clean up State and
local politics"
Urges Caution
DR.. Hatton, a former Hoosier,
drafted the present city manager
law. He declared that the manager
advocates should guard against the
attempt of enemies of good govern
ment to tear down what has been
accomplished.
He expressed the belief that
Hoosiers will continue their fight for
good government with surprising
thoroughness"
Benjamin Harrison's statement
that political parties are national
necessity but local misfortune, -
was cited by DR.. Hatton to substan-
tiate his belief that the municipality
should not be linked with national
politics.
politics is one of the serious and
fundamental things of life and not
a game to be played" he said.
