To keep ON the right road is not
an easy task. One can we'll al.
ford to ponder the message de.
ivered recently i'm a speech by
President Huber of Princeton Col
lege. He said:
''It takes a tremendous lot of
power on the part of the young
man or young woman to hold
fast to the task before him or her
today. I would advise them to
reach out and take the simplicity
of purpose that existed 200 years
ago and make it a part of his or
her present%lay life"
recall the same words-'hold
fast to the task"-imparted to me
in the early days of my ring career.
1t was just following the time of
my determination to seek the
heavyweight championship crown.
Tomorrow, I shall relate the cir
cumstance of this incident in my
life but I might say now shat
the words of advice did not fall
from the lips of college president.

but without any feeling Of pres
sure.
The next thing i would
recommend is to get the feet
placed in such a position that
most of the weight is on the
left leg and foot with the right
acting as sort of brace. The
feet and body should be so
fixed as TO give the feeling that
they will remain as they are
until the bali is strOked,
The backswing should not be too
long, for the shorter the swing
the easier it is to control. The
forward stroke should not stop
at the ball, but continue on be-
yond. The reason for this is that
If you stop it at the point OF
impact there will always be a ten
dency to make a jerky stroke out
of a movement which should be
flowing one.
The putting stroke should be the
easiest one in golf. There is moth
ing complicated about it. The main
things to be remembered are
these: First of all, think out how
hard you've got to hit the bail
in order to get it up to the hole
and figure just what line the
ball has to take in order to reach
the hole. Second, keep the body
and head still. Third, let the put
ter come back slowly and evenly
and go forward the same way.

The Washington times., 1927-10-11

To aid those golfers who find
their putting good one day and bad
the next a few general tips may be
set forth. There are two cardinal
principles that govern putting. The
first is to keep the head and body
absolutely still, and the other is to
start the club back evenly and with
out hurry. II these two things are
kept in mind, consistent putting is
almost bound to result, but the
violation of either or both of these
principles causes most trouble.
The chief reason for poor putting
is a fast backswing-a jerk. The
inevitable consequence is a moving
of the knee or body and lifting of
the head. The cause OF a fast
backswing is generally a tight grip.
Some golfers clutch their putters as
il they had a feeling that it was
trying to get away from them.
Putters should be gripped firmly,

1t is true that life in big city is
crowded with complexities. 1t is a
bewildering maze of strange, jostling
humanity, with its endless aims. pur-
poses and struggles.
Yet for one born and bred in a
large city, there are openings
in this ''bewildering maze" as
clear as country lanes. The wise
person makes these cIearingS
himself, defeating the intricate
web of existence by mapping
out his own life's work and then
-"h0lding fast to the task"
But today these crowded com
plexities of life do not affect cities
alone. They are to be found on a
smaller scale in country towns and
villages.

motion picture have brought distant
farms close TO city blocks. The

New Chiefs Will Let
Out Inefficient EN-
ployes; Drinkers To
Be Fired

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 22.-
Rl-Twenty-fivc prohibition agents
in New York City today were dis
missed as a part Of an announced
countrywide program to eliminate
inefficient employees.
Assistant Secretary Lowman, in
making the announcement, said that
the force would be further reduced
probably by about ten men, to meet
the requirements Of the budget fol-
operation of the office. No charges
were preferred against the men, Low
man said.
The reduction, which affected prin-
cipally those who were transferred
to New York when the alcohol and
brewery control squad Vas disband-
ed, leaves approximately IT'S agents
there.
"After a check Of the New York Of.
flee when Chester P. Mills got out as
administrator" Mr.. Lowman said,
1--WE found that he was requiring S94,-
600 more than was appropriated to
operate the office. We let out those
agents we could best spare in an eff.
fort to meet the budget. The deficit
is the result of failure of Mr.. Mills
to take full account OF his obliga-
tions. There is no charge Of miscon-
duct against him. but an admins
traitor should know what he is doing
and not incur a deficit"
The dry chief also disclosed today
that he had instructed administrators
all over the country TO dismiss habit
ual drinkers from their forces.
