BuchEa, Second Offender, Con-
Victed But Files Appeal

Frank Buchla, aged &c, of IS Day
street, was sentenced to Jail for six
months on the charge of being a sec
ond offender IN operating an auto
mobile while under the influence of
liquor. by Judge NJ. d. SAKE in po-
lice court today. The record Of a
conviction on Dec. ! 5, 1924, was be
fore the court after finding of
guilty was made in count charging
drunken driving last Sunday.
Attorney S. Gerard CaSale, repre-
Scnting Buchka, questioned the Sec
ond OfcnSe charge on the ground
that the statute of limitations out
l3W2d previous convictions after one
year, but Judge SAKE said he was of
the opinion that there WAS no alter
native but six months Jail sentence
under the statutes. He said he would
mold himself open to an application
for suspension of part OF the SEN
icnce within reasonable time,
should the attorney wish to call the
courts attention to any crcum-
stances or conditions that would tend
10 justify q suspension. Attorney
Casale gave notice of an appeal to

MIL DREXER j ?
ONCE MORE

Pitcher John Mildrexter. who
joined the Athletics last summer
with the reputation of being a
second Walter Johnson, will receive
another chance to make, good. The
Mackmen have his name down for
a railroad fare to Fort Myers, Fla,
and will give him second once
ever under the spreading palms.
Mildrexter was quiet disap-
pointment to the Athletics. Connie
Mack gave him private addition in
st. Louis late in the season of 1925
and liked the buzz of his speedbal
SO well that he said it sounded like
Walter Johnson's fast one when
Walter first broke in.
Connie Okayed the signing of
the yOungster and gave him q
little dough to spend ON col
lege education. Mildrexter stuck
the cash i'm his pants and went
back to school, where he MIXED
a winter OF football and basket
ball with "a little catch-aS-catch-
can studying.
That's the last the Athletics saw
of the boy until he reported like a
giant firecracker last June in a
loud suit of one-flight-up Klassy
Kuts. They changed his clothes for
him. gave him a ball and glove
and listened for the whine of his
fast one. They didn't hear thing.
Something had happened to John
in the interim, a complicated way
of saying in the meantime. The
ree-and.easy motion of his pitching
grace was gone and he only re-
minded Connie of Walter Johnson
because he was so different. Mild
rexter was never put on the club
roster. He was given a chance in
an exhibition game or two and was
hit oftener and harder than
British heavyweight.

And there is just the point I want
to bring out. Snatching the club
back too past and then hurrying
the effort to hit the ball SO that
the downswing begins with a jerk
is a very common fault in golf, one
of the most common of all.
Furthermore, 1T is sometimes very
difficult for the player to overcome
it. He may be all right so long as
he is thinking of the advice to go
slow on the backswing, but just as
soon as something else happens to
get his mind off of 1t, he finds
himself hurrying things again, with
the old slice, or whatever his favor
lite chronic trouble is, bobbing up.
For the player who is given to
this fault, ] would recommend a
systematic practice of cultivating
just a slight pause at the top Of
the backswing.
Not a dead stop. of course,
but just enough to cause a reali-
cation that there is a definite
dividing line between the move
ment of taking the club back
and then starting it down to hit
the ball.
This can be made to apply to all
strokes, even down to the putt.
Especially will 1t he found valuable
on short approach shots. where
there is always tendency to hurry
the stroke.
Try practicing the trick of just
realizing that the end of the upward
journey of the clubhead is finished,
and that now begins the real stroke
Of hitting the ball.
1t will do a lot to break the
habit Of hurrying the stroke, and
will eliminate a good deal of trou-
