MFTGS

While in McConnelsville recently
we saw Mrs. Llewella McDonald's
hemstitching and picoting machine.
On account of being so far from
school in our youth. our education
| in picoting was neglected-in fact,
we knew more about taking the coats
off of pies. You ladies who know
about the stitching business should
see this machine and work. 1t sews
with three needles and four threads.
!. In the death of VIM. Armstrong,
Morgan county has lost a real citi-
zen. 1t was always pleasure to
talk to him. He was ever interested
in the welfare of humanity. In his
long life he saw some wonderful
changes in this his chosen land. 1t
gives us pain when these folks pass
on. We feel it is a great loss when
these good Irish folk lay down the
burden. The going out of the Irish
brogue is loss. Somehow to us the
brogue always meant the same as a
written guarantee of honesty and
purity. This is surely peculiar
weather or perhaps it's the inhabi-
tants. We meet man with a straw
lid on and then one with a top coat.
The death of Mrs. Flora Fowler
LePage was a great shock as well as
surprise to relatives and friends AS
We write this, no particulars have
been received-only telegram in
forming relatives of the death and
that they would start back to her Old
home here with the body, Wednes-
day. Flora Fowler was a good girl
that ripened into noble woman, low
ed and respected by host of friends.
The body arrived on the $3.50 p. m.
train Thursday, and was taken to
the home of her sister Mrs. E. E.
Harris on the Barnesville road. Short
services were held Friday at the
Harris home at one o'clock. The
cortege then went to the Emery
church where further services were
held by Rev. J. L. Nuzum, with in
terment in the church cemetery.
The remains were accompanied here
by the husband and daughter Fay.
The family have the heartfelt sym
pathy of many friends here. The
funeral was one of the largest in at
tendance of any held in the neigh
borhood in many years; 40 relatives
were present. Hazel and Paul
Young Of Delaware, o., visited the
past week with their aunt Mrs, c. E.
Best here. They are sons of John
Young, former Bristol resident.
They report their father in poor
health. Robert Boiling who has
been employed in a coal mine near
Pomeroy. is seriously ill with blood
poisoning. The affection developed
in his nose. The stillborn baby of
Dennis and Belle Embree of Ken
nebec hill was buried at Mt. Zion.

shots he had clipped four strokes of
par. 1t was the margin that insured a
championship.
This wood efficiency was needed, too.
to Offset mistakes at the short fifth
hole, where his iron shots repeatedly
failed to find the green, and a brace
of fives carried him four strokes above
par.
The one remarkable fact Of his rec
ord-breaking campaign of 1925 was
that Bobby Jones' long and accurate
driving had vast deal to do with his
failure to win the championship.
Time after time Bobby's driving at
Baltusrol, so well controlled that the
ball acted as though aimed from a
gun, left him with mashie niblick Sec
ond shots. And his mashie niblick
was not under complete control, a fact
OF which George Won Elm was able to
take advantage
Bobby's long irons were in the best
possible working order. 1t would have
been the cleverest kind of strategy
to have played spoon shots from the
tee and so leave himself long irons to
the green. But Bobby played the
game according to Hoyle" and re-
fused to shirk the price Of his one
weakness.

all time.
The fairways at Sunningdale were
narrow, with heather on both sides.
Heather is the most difficult of all
rough. Once the ball gets in it the
player can have no other object than
to blast it out to safe territory.

1T is easier here to keep out of
the rough that to get out" thought
Bobby. He played from the tee then,
determined TO stay on the course at
all hazards. He never tried for dis.
lance. The success he had Is meas.
ured by the fact that he was off the
fairway on only two occasions and was
in the heather but twice.
One of these shots could not, strictly
speaking, be called a missed shot. In
the first round, when he made his 66,
Bobby tried to fade his ball around
the elbow of a dogleg. He did not sue
coed, going into rought, but his lie
was not bad and the play cost him
nothing, as his second was close to
the pin.
The Sunningdale course, so far as
Bobby Jones was concerned that day,
required but three mashie shots in So
holes. This may have had something
to do with his splendid scoring, for
his short iron shots have been very
disappointing to the champion in late
years. His woods and his long irons
were splendid, particularly his woods.
And his putting. was not abnormaliy
good. In scoring his 66 he used SO
puts.
However, on three long holes, each
measuring around 500 yards, he was

BY SOL METZGER.

George Won Eln's pin-splitting
iron shots in the British open
caused considerable comment. Had
Won Elm been putting on that &C.
casion, there might have been a
different story. This comment was
due to the fact that his style Is a
departure from the hip pivot of
British golfers, the style Duncan
teaches.
Won Elm practices another the
Dry. He starts the club back with
y straight left arm, not pivoting at
all until the clubhead has come as
far back as 1t can with the left
arm. Then Won Elm presses his
weight off the left foot into the
right hip, the left shoulder dropping
toward the ball, the right swinging
upward instead of around, as in
Duncan's swing.
AS the weight is pressed into it
the right'hip is forced outward, but
the hip pivot is negligible. Won
Elm's swing is with the shoulder
rather than the hips. That permits
him, as his left arm starts the club.
head downward. to get the whole
power of his body and shoulders
behind the swing.
The one cardinal point to stress
in playing this shot is to keep the
head still. In other words, keen
your eye on the ball. Head sway.
ing does the harm in golf.
