To the Editor:
Your paper has been SO success
full in Strengthening out legal
tangles, wonder if you couldn't help
little on this one.
Why waste time and money try
ing to prove a murderer sane or irl-
sane (either temporarily or per-
manently)? If he committed MUIR
der it makes no difference whether
he is mentally unbalanced or not,
as the murder was committed just
the same. A man who becomes in
sane at times is more dangerous, 10
my notion, than one who plans his
murders, as the latter sometimes
can be apprehended before he &C
complishes his purpose.
A crazy person who is a murderer
should be sentenced to life imprison-
ment without the privilege Of later
on being adjudged sane and set
free), just the same as any other
man and, as far as electrocution is
concerned, he probably wouldn't
know what was going on anyway.

To the Editor:
Yes, I would reduce the sentence
of Ruth Snyder from death to life
imprisonment. No, I would not send
her to the electric chair. Man cam
not give life, nor has he God-giver1
right to take human life except in
defense of his own life.
Ruth Snyder is product of devil
ish social conditions, and before So
ciety can attain position worthy OF
the name, our present social and po-
litical institutions must be revolu-
tionized, and placed on a foundation
more in accord with Divine law.
If legalized Killing did murderer
any good or had tendency to de-
stroy criminal character, it would
have the sanction of reason and
justice. Remove the cause, and the
effect will cease to be.
The unwise law that disarmS good
people and places them at the
mercy of the criminal element of
society is one of the causes of the
damnable, heinous crimes that are
disgracing our boosted so-called
Christian civilization. A hint to the
wise is enough.
DR.. H. C. WRIGHT,
1921 N. Gale at 34th st.
To the Editor:
The Scriptures say, vengeance is
mine, do not take what you can not
give" This is the true sentiment of
my heart concerning the Ruth Sny-
der case. l pray to God that she
may live until the good Lord takes
her She has done wrong, but two
wrongs do not make a right.
May God direct the Governors
mind in Ruth Snyder's case, and
make it life Imprisonment instead
of death. r. M. CARROLL.

The six other clubs in the National
League probably are putting out decla
rations today that they did not want
Cuyler. But they did They stood on
the sideines waiting anxiously for a
chance to grab him.
The Giants could have used Cuyler,
but they would not trade Rogers
Hornsby for the Pirate outfelder-
not when the principal stockholder of
the New York club looks upon Hornsby
as the future manager of the team.
st. Louis would not trade Frank Frisch
for Cuyler. There was talk about a
big trade for Cuyler in ST. Louis, but
the Cardinals management rightly fig
ured that Frisch had been the most
satisfactory player for any National
League team in 1927 and refused to
consider trading the second base star
for Cuyler
Cincinnati wanted Cuyler, and want.
ed him badly. The Reds thought he
would bring a lot of the gloss back
that they lost last season when Garry
Hermann made the foolish trade that
sent Eddle kouSn 10 New York for
George Kelly. Cincinnati would have
had to give up Hughie Critz to get
Cuyler, and that spiked any deal in
that quarter.
Boston, Brooklyn and Philadelphia
had nothing that Pittsburgh wanted.
Some folks thought the Brooklyn club
was willing to trade it's star southpaw,
Jess Petty, to Pittsburgh, and if such
a deal had been made. the Pirates
would have been we'll fixed for pitch

with one-half the combined handicap
applying. An entry fee of 81 is to be
charged. the proceeds to go toward
purchase of a motion picture machine.
But the trick in the tourney is the
caddie angle. John l. Power, chair
man of the clubhouse committee, has
put up a pair of live geese, which
will go to the caddies of the two Win

great merriment at the club.
Foreseeing the possibility of all
sorts of tricks by caddies anxious to
win the geese. the entrants in the
affair will draw lots for the boys who
will carry their bags, so that no man
will have favOrite caddie unless he
draws him.
Needless to say the boys will all be
anxious to find the pellets of their
masters and will aid in every way to
help the players to score well. for

n YEW YORK, December 1.-One
important factor that clinched
NJ the trade by which Kiki Cuyler
4 went to the Chicago Cubs from
Pittsburgh was the belief of
Joe Mccarthy. manager of the Cubs,
that he has the coming second base
man of the National League in Fred
Mcguire, former Toledo star.
Thus runs the comment in base ball
circles today. following the deal which
sent the Cubs peppery second base
Floyd Scott, young outfielder. to the
Pirates in exchange for their benched
outfield star.
Mcguire played with the Toledo club
of the American Association last year,
and he once was q rookie with the
New York Giants, where he never
had full opportunity to show what he
could do.
The Cuyler deal went through when
Bill Feeck, president of the Chicago
club. put it up to Manager Mccarthy.
The pilot of the Cubs agreed to let
Adams go to the Pirates because he
had full confidence in the ability of
Mcguire to fill the position at second
base.
The consideration that could get

Walter Hagen is just about as
fine putter as lives. Bobby Jones
thought so two years ago when he
got n tremendous lambasting from
Walter in a special match in Flor
ida for the so-called world open title,
Walter then holding the British
open and Bobby the U. S. Bobby
was sunk by THE Haigs" work on
the green's.
In the sketch of Hagen at vari-
Gus stages of the putt, note how
immovable is his body throughout
the stroke and the forward move
ment of his left arm from the elbow
down after contact has been made.
Hagen's club face goes right out
after the ball along the. line of the
putt. That is true of all good putt
ers. They use their hands solely in
the stroke up TO contact. Then they
let the left hand follow through on
line. To make that possible, the left
elbow, in fact both elbows have TO
bend a bit.
If you merely tap the ball-and
there are those who believe in this
and practice it with fine results
the risk lies in the fact that the
club face will swing off line. Al
though many say that nothing mat
ters after the ball is stroked, they
are quite wrong. If you too quickly
pull the club in and around the
body following contact on the putt.
the movement that pulls it around
is necessarily started before con-
tact. 1t results in the puts slicing
rolling off the line-and the putt
is missed.
Hagen tries to take the club head
back low and straight. But he can
not possibly keep it at the same dis.
tance from the ground on the back
swing without movement of left
arm. AS he does not do this--mo.
ton pictures proving this club
head comes down TO the ball and
then goes straight on the line.
Next we will take up the left hand
in putting.
