played boldly-the main object
to be up. AS a general rule,
play for the green whenever
possible with an iron. A No. /
iron is a better club for a long
approach than a spoon or brassic.
With the iron you can expect
the ball to stay straighter. It
is difficult to control the wood
shot and steer it to a fixed
area like the green. No matter
where you are on the green,
SO long as you're on, it is better
than any position off the green,
because there is always q chance
of the long putt Hopping in.

Referring to the long and fairly
long irons, my method of play causes
me to take a little turf on practically
all shots. This Is because hit down
on the ball instead Of picking it up
clearly.
That Is, / aim to make the face of
the club strike the ball before the
clubhead has quite reached the
lowest point on the arc of the swing.
This causes the edge Of the
sole of the club to cut into the
turf Immediately under the ball,
II not just little ahead of 1t.
And 1 consider this the safest
way to hit the ball.
The player who swings to pick
the ball up cleanly has finer prob
lem to gauge the path of the club
heead than the one who aims at hit.
ting the ball as the club is still de-
scending.
Because there is only the smallest
fraction Of second during which
the clubhead passes that lowest
exactly right, trouble will likely re-
suit WllCIS0O IL ~ A1OI SuCA a uSA4-
cate job to gauge the movement Of
the clubhead in the method that /
use and recommend.
Then there is another point. Have
you ever noticed that. even in driy-
ing, IL your clubhead scrapes the
ground for an inch or SO back Of the
ball, a straight shot usually results,
even though you may not get your
full distance? The answer is that
this contact with the ground helps
to steady the clubhead and to keep
1t travelling straight.
Then there is another impOr-
tant feature in hitting the bali
while the club Is still descending.
This method Of hitting tends to
pinch the bail between the face
of the club and the turf, which
results in giving 1t backspin.
This is helpful both in keeping
the ball straight on the line and
also in stopping 1t after it strikes
the ground. And, of course. this
control is important on all iron
strokes, where distance is only part
Of the consideration.
So that my answer to the question
Of when to take turf is on all long
or fairly long iron shots.

STAR TEAM
Up TO OLD
TRICKS
By r. d. Thomas

An echo from the past rang in
The ears of the valiant old Royals
today. There came a challenge
from Roanoke!
In their heyday as all.conQuerlng
knights of the mapleways, the Roy
ais battled with none so formidable
as the Roanoke stars. If memory
serves, the brilliantly contested
matches ceased about six years
ago when the Royals won their
third victory in five yearly clashes
with Roanoke.
1t was thought here that Roa-
noke'S old war horses had gone to
pasture for keeps, even as the
Royals.
But. according to the latest
Information, which comes from
b. w. StOnebreaker, the vet
eran pinmaulers are up and
doing. They reOrganiZed the old
team recently and shot q five
game match with the young
stars Of Roanoke, winning by
a healthy margin.
The challenge was sent in care of
George L. Isemann, president of the
Washington City Duckpin Associa-
ton. who Immediately turned it over
TO Harry B. HALEY, who captained
the Royals.
"Will we roll? Boy, I'll say yes"
steamed the venerable Mr.. HALEY.
He had little doubt that the
once great Royal team could be
resurrected.
Here's what Stonebreaker had to
say:
You will remember that about
1922 when the old Washington
Royal duckpin team composed of
Skinney Carroll, Pop HALEY, Harry
Krauss. Earl Lewis, Harry Stanford.
Andy Goddard and few others were
in their prime we had several very
interesting games with them.
"T believe the Roanoke Royals
were the first to trim them On
i their own alleys in Washington.
II OF course we realize that most
4 of them are now has beens but
I down here in the sunny South
/ we keep our youth.
"I.ast week some of the promis-
ing youngsters of our town became
rather ambitious and challenged the
old team, all over forty, to roll
them. For the first time in years
we assembled our old team that
took the measure of the Royals
in 1922. I am enclosing the
scores.
I'm the meantime, we hereby
issue challenge to the Washing
ton Royals, each team to use the
same men that were used in the
years mentioned above"
And judging by their scores
against the youngsters of Roanoke,
the old Mountaineers have the stuff
to make it warm for anybody's
team of duckpinners.
The scores:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-G49-Early
action on legislation to authorize gov

on their bonus certificates was pre-
dicted by Chairman Green of the house
ways and means committee today after
Director Hines of the veterans bu-

committee members in executive ses-

make loans on the certificates by in
cluding the veterans bureau and its
regional officers.
President Coolidge is said to be in
sympathy with the proposal and
Chairman Smoot of the senate finance
committee has introduced a bill to
that end.
A number of house members have
put in bills providing for veterans bu-

Smoot proposal, and it is expected that
after holding brief hearings, the ways

Wife's Fear That Paroled Husband Might

TULSA, Okla Jan. 21.-(P)-A wom-
ans fear that her husband, a paroled
convict, might hold UP a bank or
something, led to the capture near
here today of John Mayo, who escaped
from the Tulsa county Jail Sunday.
Mayo and Nat Green, the husband,
were arrested in an old cabin in the
rough hills of Usage county by Sheriff
r. F. Sanford Mrs. Green had told
The officers to try to find her husband,
She feared he was with Mayo.
At o'clock this morning, Sheriff
Sanford left with a selected posse of
officers and surrounded the place.
Mayo was found standing behind the
"AlI right johnny the sheriff said,
aiming his revolver at Mayo.
"An right, Bob, Mayo replied.
you've got me. No trouble"
The fugitive held up his hands,
dropping a bundle, (which contained
the two revo1vers he took when he
escaped from the Jail. An automatic
rifle, stolen from the JAIL was found
under q pillow.
.'Now, Johnny" the sheriff said as
the party started back to Tulsa, we've
got no handouts With US, and we
trusted you once. If you try to get
away, you know what it means
Mayo nodded.
Mayo, a prisoner of the Kansas peni-
tentiary, was brought to Oklahoma to
testify in the trials growing out of
the Usage reign of terror" in which it
is alleged that nearly score of
wealthy Indians met death. He has
been serving a 21-year sentence for
robbery.
Early Sunday morning, Mayo, a
trusty at the Jail, became enraged by
reports that another man had been at
tentive to his wife, and because he had
not received a pardon he thought due
from the government. He approached
two jailers with a revolver in each
hand, locked them in the bull pen
Then hestook two more revolYers and
the automatic rifle and escaped.
