Morgan, which city will be most
vitality affected should the C. & N.
w. Railroad be permitted to curtail
service on the Redwood branch line,
has been fighting the proposed change
with considerable energy. The Nor
gan Messenger has the following to
says concerning recent developments
of the case:
Attorneys for both the Chicago l.
Northwestern Ry. and the defendants
Morgan and Redwood Falls, have fill
ed briefs with the State Railroad and
Warehouse Commission in the appli-
cation of the railroad company for
permission to discontinue the after
noon round trip on the Redwood Falls
branch.
"The fifteen day limit for filing
briefs expired July Goth, as the hear
ing was concluded July 14th, and they
were dated June 2Sth.
"The railroad briefs were submit
ted by R. L. Kennedy and VIM. T.
Farley, attorneys of st. Paul.
"For Morgan the brief was filed
by w. R. Werring, who took a prom
inent part in the hearing.
"The Redwood Falls defense was
handled by a group of attorneys at
the county seat.
"The outstanding feature of the
railroad brief, and one which indica-
ted that the railroad company decid-
ed it had rather a poor case, was an
alternative proposal"
"This alternative readjustment"
of schedule which the railroad pro-
posed was to tie-up the train at Red

FOO WORK

DRIVES
BY Tommy Armour

o. s. and Canadian Open Champioa
Having dealt in the last article
with tie Importance Of footwork in
wooden club playing. ! will tell
how much more important it is in
iron playing. Iron playing IL
usually the basis from which golf
ers are graduated. 1t is very sci.
dom that you ever find fine iror
player who is not q good golfer.
His ability to hit the bali approx.
mately straight with an iron will
always get him into a scoring
position.
Let us take the greatest iron
player Of all times. Harry Vardon.
His uncanny ability with all iron
clubs made him the most feared.
greatest and most mechanical player
the golf world has ever seen. 1t is
safe to say that over q period of
years Vardon missed fewer strokes
than any other man. What was
his secret?
Nothing but his footwork. He
used his feet in the same way for
thirty years. He had a marvellous
pair Of legs. They were strong
and supple, and they functioned
whether tired or strong because he
trained them that way and because
he sub consciously and consciously
knew that if his weight transfer
! ence. his pivots. his placement Of
| feet were correct, his margin Of
| error would be reduced to mini.
mum.
The tremendous power he had
IN playing all shots was totally
due to the fOOtWOrk pulling
him into . position to hit the
BAH properly. When anypne's
body il In the right position the
effort is practically UnnOticeable.
II appears like q gentle sweep
| instead Of q terrific punch,
which Is really there. It also
permits, through this apparently I
! effOrflesS movement, the ability
to concentrate on the line which
the slugger merely hopes for.
The man who hits from a proper
position knows that the bah will
fly in a certain direction. Relieved
of mental anxiety of the result of
| the stroke, he can give full concen-
tration to the manner OF hitting.
| Another person who iexemplifies
| the results of proper footwork IL
Bobby Jones. His abnormal amount
of foot play &has gotten for him
the power that is excelIed by none
and equaled by few. The range
that Jones has with each different
club is one of the most amazing
things in my golfing experience. He
can vary his length with any iron
club 80, 40, SO and SO yards.
Under extreme pressure he
can take his most confident
club and stretch IL to the
length of the club he probably
should have used. Meaning,
that Il his No. 8 IRON should
have been played, he could take
the No. and without any more
apparent effort knock the ball
just as lar. This is most en-
tirely due to fOOtwOrk. His
transference Of weight Is such
that at the moment of impact
ne can put every ounce OF power
into the shot.
There are others - near.great
/ golfers, whose names It would be
tmpolitic to mention-whose claim
to real greatness is barred by the
limited use of the feet. They
work on restricted pivots and occa-
slonally during moments of great
stress, their artificial methods Of
striking the bali go wrong, and
the result Is their chance has also
/ gone.

nor the land which has made
baseball its national pastime IS
dignified by the closing words
Of Ban Johnson's reprimand of
Bucky Harris wherein the Presi-
deEt Of the American league is
quoted as attributing Bucky's
brushing Of Umpire Rowland in
view of a recent event in Phila-
delphia, to his springing from
the Fairgrounds in the coal
fields Of western Pennsylvania.
Baseball, dear friends, typi-
fies America. We have made it
our official sport. And since
America typifies freedom and
opportunity, who is Ban Johnson
to throw a cloud around Bucky
Harris early environs, now that
he has been to the pinnacle of
baseball and even now is not
far therefrom?
1t seems to this writer that
the people of America-and 1
large percentage of US are base
ball enthusiastically more often
what a mans position is now,
rather than what it was when
ne was born or when he was
still very young man.
That Bucky Harris sprung
from the coal fields of Pittston.
Pa, which Ban Johnson's geog-
raphy should tell him Is In
eastern, not western Pennsyl-
vania, to q very enviable posi-
ton in baseball and Washing
tons residential life is quite a
chapter of success, over which
ambitious young boys of this
country might ponder and rol-
low, if possible.
1t seems to us that the
greater the handicap, the greater
the credit should be when that
handicap is overcome.
Personally, we do not believe
an early life in any coal field
makes man any the less so
than an early life in a news
paper office, from which Mr..
johnson sprung. Physically, it
should be a benefit to Harris,
rather than . drawback, for
baseball in the coal fields or
the most rarefied air of Pixies
Peak is beneficial to the par
ticipant, no matter which way
one looks at it.
Possibly Mr.. Johnson for
gets the coal fields have sent
baseball some Of its best per-
formers - Stanley Coveleskie,
Joe "Moon" Harris, Bobby
Veach and true enough, Bucky
Harris.
Joe Moon" Harris wasn't
turned down by the United
States Army in wartime be-
cause he had coal field baseball
training. He went through
plenty of she'll fire and came
back a very much SCARED man
to give baseball more of his
coal field fighting spirit which
stood him in such good stead
in the A. e. F.
Americans care not from
whence a man springs. The
fact that Jack Dempsey came
from the brake beams has made
him none the less colorful ring
man nor popular. Col. Charles
Lindbergh, the best-known man
in the world today, no doubt.
was 9 mere air mail pilot six
months ago, grabbing his coffee
and doughnuts between trips.
But one has had to take Ban
Johnson's outbreaks with \
grain Of salt for The past two
years, because Mr.. johnson has
not been . we'll man. Even
Bucky Harris, the breaker bow
diplomat, allows for his SUI
perior's physical condition which,
Of course, affects his mental
attitude.
