Does the United States have dip
lomatic relations with Russia and

home?

ball enamel for repainting golf balls.

few drops CT the enamel is placed in

Is 1t wise to use ether to start an
auto in cold weather?
Ether can be used to start an en-
CINE when cold, because it is more
volatile than gasoline; that Is, 1t
vaporizes sufficiently to form an ex-
plosive mixture at lower tempera-
lures than does gasoline. Ether has
a strong tendency to detonate, or
knock" which may damage the en-
CINE. If used at all, not more than
two drops should be put in each pet
cock. Use of benzol, which is nearly
as volatile as ether and does not
knock, is to be preferred.

What causes an airplane to go
into a tail spin?
There are several causes; break
ing of the wings, improper rigging
or loss of flying speed. If plane
is nosed into the air at too steep an
angle for the power of the motor TO
retain the necessary flying speed, 1t
will slide into tail spin. If the
pilot has sufficient altitude in this
case he can regain control of the
ship. A tail spin near the ground
is always dangerous.

Free SpeeCh-ProgreSS
Our fathers thought that free
discussion was the best medicine

They refused to risk the loss

to get rid of the other kind.
They tolerated the blatherskite
to give men of originality and
courage chance.
They did this not only out Of
consideration to such men, but
because they believed it to be es-

n HE stance and grip for the
mashie shot is much the same
as that used for the drive,
brassie and midiron. Grip the club
near the end of the shaft and allow
the club to take a natural lie back
of the ball. Use the lap grip or any
other firm grip that might be natural
to you, being sure, however, that it
is a firm grip.
If a straight line were drawn be-
tween the ball and the flag, and
another at right angles, the last line
should pass through the ball and
the left heel.
Starting the club on it's backward
swing, the wrists are used entirely
until the halfway point Is reached.
Then the arms are brought into ac-
ton until the club reaches the top
of the swing, remembering, of
course, to keep the right elbow close
to the body. s.
Nse the arms on the downward
stroke until you reach the halfway
point, and then again bring the
wrists back into action. Use both
the arms and wrists in meeting the
ball.
1t is proper on the mashie shot to
take small amount OF turf. The
turf adds back-spin to the ball,
stopping it as it alights.
The proper distance for a mashie
shot is between 125 and $50 yards.
The shorter distance requires ii
slight shortening of the swing. A
mashie is constructed with a sloping
blade, or a club with considerable
pitch. The slanting blade, coupled
with the turf taken up tends to
send the ball whirling high into the
air. The ball will roll but short
distance, as practice will disclose to
| you.
Too often a player will turn the
blade of the club towards the ball or
away, pull the arms up, or take the
eye off the ball to watch the flag.
Turning the blade will cause the ball
! to get off it's intended straight course
to the flag, and also will keep the
BALI from raising to the desired
heighth Moving the eyes causes

BASEBALL STRATEGY

AJoR league pilots diner
IM widely in their opinion OF the
~ efficiency Of certain bits OF
baseball strategy.
With Ty Cobb as manager OF the
Detroit club, the hit and run was a
! highly favored play. AS n matter
of fact, it was used almost to the
exclusion of most other run-gettlng
methods.
When George MOriarty took
charge of the Detroit club as the
7 successor to Cobb, the hit and run
play was tossed into the discard
as far as being the main cog III
the Tiger Offense.
While Detroit is sure to use the
lit and run considerably, it will not
thrive as it did under the Cobb re-
gime. With certain batters it is a
great play; that is, men who can
pick their spots and hit them
through a majority of the time. Such
batters, however, are the exception.
Making use Of the clubs speed in
varied manner will be the aim of
George Moriarty, rather than fea-
ture any one method of play.
