Use Loose Grip
| OnFuu Irons,
Says Evans
By Charles Chick" Evans il.

Dy NNLdI 1CS NIA1Ck EVANS Jko
The loose grip used on the full
shots with the iron is a great help;
it tends to relax tense parts of the
body. When having trouble just try
hitting the bali q little easier for
awhile. "
This enables you to get the club
head into the shot easier, and when
you feel the ball hitting the sur
face cleanly your confidence comes
back and gradually You can apply
more strength. Always remember
that weather and grass conditions
are just as hard for the other fellow
as for you.
Stand up fairly well. Use
that three-quarter stroke Il you
want to. Watch the execution
Of the shot. Keep the body still
and swing almost entirely with
clubhead and arms. Elbows IN
and hit toward your object.
You must feel that little break
of the wrists. Brace hack on
the knee, 20 forward with the
follow through. Hit the ball dis
ti1ctly. Don't be jerly at the
wrists.
Always think Of hitting before
starting the second quarter Of your
stroke. I try to think Of the swing
in halves. and not to start the sec.

Bib Chalk chased the veteran to

round. Clancy gave him another
tough one in the wind in the sec

In the next frame he seized

and it went for hit. Thurston

Appears Sunday in "Jim the
 Conqueror''

"Jim the Conqueror," story by
 the inimitable Peter B. Kyne and starring dashing William Boyd, hero of The Volga Boatman. and Money to Burn" with Dorothy De-
 wore and Malcolm MacGregor-a TO- nance of youth, love, mystery, ad- venture and a fortune that went up
 in smoke are the two attractive film dramas booked for the Lyceum to-
 morrow night and through next Wednesday.
 "Jim the Conqueror" Is a melo- drama of modern ranching and mod
 ern romance. It starts in Italy and
 has its climax on the great American
 plains with William Boyd in the role of a hard fighting, fast shooting conqueror of hearts and tanner of bad men of the west The crux of the drama is a battle of land and water hole rights-a never ending feud be- ! tween the western sheep men and cattle men. Through this vital melo- drama, punctuated with exciting
 situations and whizzing bullets there
 runs a tender romance of boy and
 girl whose happiness is jeopardized through their heritage of a feud tradition. That right Is might" Is the concluding moral of the play.
 In the picture Money to Burn"
 the film fan will get the upmost in variety, in thrills, in comedy and sus- pense. The story is from the pen Of

 The notebooks, the police asserted were being studied yesterday as the only thing that could be done by the police department in it's present quandary. The notebooks contain lines believed by plainclothes ''ob- servers" at several musical shows last night to be possible grounds for more midnight raids.
 The quandary has come about, they added, over the issuance of in functions again re-raiding three other shows, which, as soon as in jusnctions were obtained. burst forth anew yesterday with long waiting list of would be ticket buyers.
