hooking spin. There are two main
points that / look to: First,
stand at q greater distance from,
the ball, and second, ] turn my
body slightly more away from the
bali on the backward swing. This
is done to flatten the plane Of the
stroke, and to enable me to swinG

to descend upon 1t from above. foI
in the. latter case the inevitable
tendency Is toward q cut.
The most important feature
of the drawing stroke 10 that
the cIub.head should come upon
the bali from inside the line Of
play, and 1t should travel out

Edgar, who scarcely ever played
shot without fade or draw,
used to say that . slice was
produced ''by compreaeing the
outside Of the ball" and hook
''by COMPRISING the inside Of

7 EX PLANS

ing to well.informed men along
Broadway. Tex Richard and his as.
sociates in the Madison Square Gar.
den Corporation have under al.
vanced negotiation a plan to pur-
chase Brush Stadium and the lease
for the Polo Grounds, which has
many years to run. This report
was denied on all fronts, yet despite
contradiction, Richard and the New
York National League authorities
have gotten past the casual con-
versation stage.
Last winter Richard admitted
that he would gladly purchase q
controlling interest In the Ginnts.
In fact, he set q tentative price
on the property Of $500 900.
This was turned down cold.
Lying dormant for a time, this
deal has been revived within the
last three weeks and 10 sweeping
in its scope. It involves q shift Of
base for the Giants and, as the
deal was outlined to me over a cup
OF coffee last night, the Giants
may become tenants of Col. Jacob
Rupert in the Yankee Stadium.

super Madison Square Garden out

The sweeping or the dragging
stroke is related to the sloughing
through shot and all three should
be given a wide berth. The hit
should be firm one, however, done
cleanly and more with the club
head. Keep poking the shots into
the imaginary direction line. II
you swing too hard, you will throw
the clubhead over and hit the ball
on the toe.
Try to picture the best flight for
the falling ball, and hit up into It.
OF course, you must not hit up into
the air very much when you are
playing in the wind. II you are
a lazy golfer you are poor on the
calm days and can get nowhere in
the wind. Just before the club.

entirely aware Of the necessity Of
getting a clean contact. / would

been completed for the opening or the

The coming Of Sir Esme Howard.

much to establish this picturesque

pleasure in the fact that Lady Isa-
bella Howard will be here for most Of
the Summer.
The German embassy. last year at
Magnolia, is at Manchester, where
the Stevens cottage flies the German
flag. The official families find the
long season on the shore bright with
interesting events, for the colonists
take pleasure in making the stay of
the visitors enjoyable.
There has been talk that the Italian
and French embassies might be for a
time located on the North Shore, but
as yet nothing official has been an
nounced as to the plans. Again
Gloucester will be the Summer head
quarters for the mine-laying squad

mother of most of the lilacs of this
country was cut down here recently
by newcomer who saw possibilities
of profit In corner lot. Every Spring
it was a place of bloom and fragrance.
Shoots had been carried away from
it for more than hundred years.
Research in town history showed
that the hedge was planted in 1896 by
the Rev. Samuel Johnson. who brought
the shoots from his native town of
Guilford, Conn. In the 231 years of
it's existence the hedge had attained
a height of more than 9 feet despite

OXFORD, Kans.-Beacuse it ap-

might have to move to make way for
oil rigs, the city council has passed
an ordinance limiting drilling to one
well in each city block. All property
owners in the block shall receive a
pro-rated royalty in the event of pro-
duction, according to their holdings in
square feet
Soon after oil was found here a
feverish boom developed in townlot oil
leases, and virtually every square
inch of the city. except the streets
and other public property, was placed
under lease. The opera house was
torn down and an oil well started in
the former basement.
When plans developed to tear down
other buildings and to sink numerous
wells in front yards, the city stepped
in and called a halt.
