But players like Vardon, and a
few others who might be mentioned,
are rather the exceptions TO the
rule, and for the guidance of the
average high-handicap player who
is trying to improve his game, it
Is my belief that no better guide
to good direction can be maintained
than to keep the left arm reason
ably straight.
But there is this to be said.
IL is a mistake to try to keep
the arm as rigid as a poker.
What the player should aim at
is keeping the arm comfortably
straight, and see that the elbow
is firm at the top of the swing.
III there is a slight bend at the
top, this should be Strengthened
out as soon as the hands are
started down with the club.
The ACCESSIBILITY of keeping the
arm straight is easily accounted
tor. The left arm and the shaft
of the club. measuring the length
from the point of the left Shout
der to the. clubhead. establish the
radius on which the clubhead
swings This radius is established
when the player addresses the ball.
Obviously, if this radius is altered,
the clubhead will not come back
to the bali in the position it &C.
cupied in the address.
Also, if the left elbow is allowed
to bend and to remain bent as the
arms are swinging down on the
downswing, it is almost inevitable
that the left arm will draw the
clubhead inward.

Locals Reflect Militant
Officers in Heavy Poll

An unusually heavy vote was polled
at the elections in Locals 2, and 81
of the l. L. G. w. U. which were car
ried on Thursday under the auspices
of the Council of Shop Chairmen.
The tellers turned in their complete
count at noon yesterday, after they
had spent all night at the polls which
closed at ten o'clock. They announced
that Joseph Boruchowitz was reflect
ed manager of Local 2 by majority
of 1900 out of $500 votes cast; Abra-
ham Zirlin was reelected manager of
Local 8, by majority of 1874 votes
out of 1,40O cast; and Joseph Goret-
zky was reelected managed of Local

votes cast.

Arrangements for the elections in
Local 80 had been delayed because
Manager Goretzly was only released
a few days ago after spending two
weeks in Jail. He was one of seven
men whose bail was unaccountably
raised from $1,000 to $4,000 by Judge
Otto Rosalsky some weeks ago, fol-
lowing their indictment during the
cloakmakers' strike.
Two prisoners, held because of
strike activities, participated in the
election in Local 2. They sent their
wives with proxy votes and letters
to the judges of the election asking
to be allowed to cast vote in this
way since they could not vote in per-
son. Their request was granted.
Joint Board leaders declared the
vote was the largest polled in many
years in these locals.

MARCHING BOX
STRIKERS UP IN
COURT,BUT FREED
Employer Sentenced for
Beating Girl

Genett Lionetti, 18-year-old paper
box maker, appeared in Judge Cor
rigan's court yesterday and brought
charges against Mr.. Travin, a manu-
facturer at 191 Mercer St., for having
beaten her while doing picket duty.
Travin pleaded guilty to the charge
and was fined by the judge to pay
S25 damages.
The pickets who were arrested on
Monday for marching through the
district also appeared in court, but
were dismissed, as the judge recog-
nized the right of a striker to picket
a shop where strikebreakers are en-
ployed. The union welcomed this de-
cision as it will strengthen their posi-
ton considerably. Those involved in
this case were Juliet Pointz, Joseph
Mordkowitz, Joseph Familia, and
James B. Wyker, a student Of the
ology.
One man, Edward Hersch, was fined
So, fol having called a strikebs cai,-a
er scab. Hersh was beaten up by
policeman and thrown into jail. No
one was in court to substantiate the
charge against Hersh, nevertheless
the judge recognized it and placed the
fine.
According to information from the
strikers headquarters a meeting has
been arranged by the mayor between
William Karlin, attorney of the un-
ion, and Samuel Wallenstein, legal
representative of the employers, to
arrange to adjudicate the strike.
This meeting is to take place on Mon
day at the mayors office.
Announcement was also given that
the concert and ball to be staged at
the New Star Casino, 9th st. and
Park Ave-, for the assistance of the
strikers will be held on the 18th Of
February.

Jersey Bus Drivers
Strike Today Unless
They Get Wage Raise

Three hundred bus drivers of Jer-
sey City and vicinity have voted to
strike at p. m. today unless the
bosses make move for peace before
then.
The drivers voted to go on strike at
a meeting held in the Orpheum The
alter, Jersey City, if their demands
are not met. They demand three
year contract calling for a raise in
pay from $42.50 to $50 week. Be-
fore they took the strike vote they
offered to compromise on $45 week
but the bosses refused.
Edward Levy, business agent OF
the union, said that ultimately all the
1900 drivers in the union might be
involved and 100000 travellers obliged
to travel other than by bus in Jersey
City, Bayonne and North Hudson. II
the strike materializes today, it will
effect about 10000 bus riders.

China was made in a resolution in
troduced today by Rep. Black Cd
of New York.
Black proposed that the foreign

tary of State Kellogg.
"There are too many American
ships and soldiers going to China"
said Black. "There have been re-
ports from Europe that the United
States has a secret understanding
with the British for possible mill

Neckwear Makers Faker
Hates FOrty-HOur Week
Communists Support

Opposition to the 40-hour week has
originated in a new quarter. Accord
ing to reports of members of the
United Neckwear Makers union, their
manager, L. D. Berger, at the last
meeting, stated that he was against
the five-day week because the idea
originated in the Communist move
ment.
Mr. Berger in his excitement went
so far as to say he would favor a
50-hour week if it originated in the
Neckwear Makers union. Apparent
ly anything is better than a good idea
if it comes from printers. carpenters,
furriers, cloalmakers and automobile
workers.
Several other original ideas were
presented at the membership meeting
of the neckwear workers this week.
One, coming from Louis Fuchs, was
that members be fined a dollar if
they missed sesting. On the sur
face this SOUNDS business-like, and
quite appropriate from business
agent But it followed a proposition
that meetings of this local be held
regularly evrey two weeks, since
there was growing criticism of the
fact that the union rarely held any
meetings at all. Apparently Mr..
Fuchs motion about a heavy fine
was intended to defeat the move for
regular meetings.
Gave Sigman Cash.
The absence of regular meetings
made it possible, month ago, for the
Executive Committee to present Sig
man with $4,000 without consulting
the membership. Another $4,000 was
voted this week, in spite of one speak
er's objection that this union had
given only S25 to the 10000 Passaic
strikers, and $500 to the 10000 strik-
ing furriers. There were no more
speeches on the matter after this.
The condition of this union may be
judged further from the fact that
shop chairmen's meeting decreed that
any member who failed to attend the
armory meetings called by the right
wing Of the trade unions, January 20,
should be fined ten dollars.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The British
cabinet held a second lengthy session
late this afternoon.
The cabinet, it is understood, has
now asked Eugene Chen for full in
formation regarding guarantees he
will give for the protection of 'life
and property" in China, providing
British troops enroute to Shanghai
are recalled. Chen has already given
ample assurances that the Cantonese
government is capable of guarantee
ing the safety of all nationals in it's
territory.
The cabinet has not yet made
known it's decision as to the diversion
of the troops now enroute to China,
but there is a general belief here
that the troops will be maintained at
points outside of Shanghai. This
opinion appears to be backed up by a
dispatch from Hong Kong to the eff
feet that the second Suffolk regiment
has arrived there and is being held
for further orders.
The faction in the cabinet which
has long sought the abrogation OF
the Anglo-Soviet agreement is again
demanding a break with Russia.
Sir William Joynsen-Hicks, home
secretary, in a statement declared:
at is unfortunate and not a little
peculiar that the Chinese nationalists
anti-foreign bias should have been
directed mainly against the British
For this it seems the Soviet govern
ment is largely responsible"
