There can be no better subject

getting at the thing by percent
ages, the action of the brain is
more important than the action Of
the body in winning q champion
ship match. The expert golfer
takes almost no thought Of his
swing, other than to feel as com
Portable as possible. His thought
is TO get the ball from its present
lie to the most advantageous spot
possible. Suppose the ball Is lying
well and a hundred yards from an
open green. Five experts may each
have a different way Of playing the
shot. 1t can be made with any
iron club in the bag. including the
putter. If the ball has a poor lie,
the choice of clubs may be re
stricted to the mashie Or the
mashie niblick. If 1t is a poor lie
and there is a strong side wind and
the green is small, the ball must
be kept low and a jigger or mid
iron may be the club to use. If
there is the same strong side wind
and the ball is lying we'll, a quar-
ter shot with a cleek or driving
iron may be the best for the work.
Exactly the same process of rea-
soning is used on every stroke. The
mastery of the clubs is approx
mately the anne among the ex-
perts, with only the occasional
star who has a manifest superior
ity with some one club. 1t then
is within bounds to say that. among
PLAYERS Of equal skill, the winner
will be the one who uses his brain
TO the best advantage. In no cir
cumstances figure that you should
choose a certain club because of the
distance alone. Never take a club
from your caddy or out of your bag
until You see the ball. The ordi-
nary caddy may try to hand you a
niblick as soon as he sees your ball
drop into a bunker. Refuse the
club and keep your mind open un-
til you see the ball. 1t is entirely
possible that the putter is the club
to use; that you a control ii much
better by rolling it over the sand,
up the cop and toward the hole with
the putter. Gray matter and its
constant use is more than half the
game of the expert.

FALL FOR THIS CLUB?

WHILE a crippled airpiane was
w falling into a heap on Nc
Cook Field at Dayton. Ohio,
a little over four years ago,
its pilot was sailing smoothly
down to earth and safety by
means of his parachute.
At the same time. two newspa'

field were watching the fall with
a sense of keen interest and
amusement.

FLAGSTAFF HIGH LOST
WINSLOW DUAL MEET
ANOTHER HERE TODAY

Winslow high school defeated
Flagstaff high 59-57 in their dual
track meet at Winslow Saturday. The
two schools were evenly matched and
it was hard to determine which would
be ahead in the scoring until after the
final event. Considering the fact that
neither school has had much opporful1@
ity to do any real training, the rec
ords were exceptionally good
John Scott of WinslOw was the OUT
standing star of the meet, making IA
points for individual high honors. His
teammate, Tackitt, was second with
19 while Corbett of Flagstaff was
third with Is. Scott won firsts in
both hurdle races and the half-nlle
and high jump. Corbett had an easy
time winning both the 100 yard dash
and 220. Slipher of Flagstaff won
the mile without much opposition. his
time was 5 minutes, IL 1-5 seconds,
which is 10 seconds faster than it was
run at the conference meet last year.

Local Oil Agents Say
Coast Gasoline Battle
VIII Not InUdde Here

Although gasoline price war is
being waged in California by the Pan
American and Standard Oil COM
panies, gas prices will not be affected
materially here, according to local
representatives of the Standard Oil
company and the Unoin Oil company.
Four weeks ago retail and whole
sale prices of gasoline were reduced
in this district following the drop af-
fecting the coast cities. Since then
three price changes have occurred in
Los Angeles territory, spreading to
the entire state of California. The
last reduction came ten days ago on
the coast when the Pan-American
Petroleum company announced cut
of two cents a gallon, and motorists
in Los Angeles filled their tanks with
fuel costing only 12l3 cents. This
1871 cent price was met by Standard
Oil.
With gasoline now selling at 25
cents it is the opinion of Ray Yer
furth, Flagstaff agent for the
Standard Oil company, and Bert
Cameron Of the Union Oil company
that the price war between the two
coast companies will not extend be-
yond the Los Angeles territory nor af-
feet Arizona to any great extent.

ATTEMPT TO DISPROVE
HOMESTEAD RESIDENCE
OF MRS. ETHA FULTON

From evidence presented Monday
afternoon before u. S. Commissioner
Tom L. Rees in the case of the gov
ernment against Mrs. Etha Osborn
Fulton, who is seeking final home
stead papers, it seemed probable that
the plaintiff would hardly be able to
prove that sufficient proof OF resi-
dence on the homestead had not been
made.
Mrs. Fulton took up homestead IN
Deadman's Flat some years ago and
spent week-ends and other time there
while a member Of the city teaching
staff. She is now resident of Tucson.
She was not present in person at the
hearing. In presenting her proofs OF
residence for her final homestead
papers. affidavits were read and these
witnesses appeared in person: Her
father, w. J. Osborn, Miss Lura Kim
sew, Baxter Womack and Cleon Etter.
Attorney E. S. French, assistant So
licitor of the district forest office OF
AIbuoueruue. represented the depart
ment of the interior in the contest. He
called as witnesses John A. Adams,
of Albuquerque, now district super
visor of the Manzano national forest;
e. H. oldham of the local forest OF
