The bottom of ones putter should
rest fiat on the green with its Gen.
ter directly back of the center OF
the ball when your stance Is such
that your eyes are directly over the
ball and the line to the cup. Jim
Barnes claims these two points are
necessary for any golfer to adhere
to If he wishes to become lne

Being tall, Jim crouches well over
the ball, as many British players do
only for short puts, as we will see
in tomorrow's article. Jim also ad-
vocates pointing the left elbow at
the hole, as we'll as the back of the
left hand, so as to make sure the
guiding left hand and arm will cause
your putter to follow through on
line as you stroke through the ball.
Jim likewise places his right fore
arm lightly on his right thigh in
order to prevent his putter straying
from the line along which 1t Is to
stroke the ball. You'll note that his
knees are bent slightly as he strokes
the ball. This is to prevent rigidity.
Ones feet should be placed firmly
on the ground, weight balanced be-
tween heels and balls. Some ad-
vocate the weight more on the left.
Others that it should be evenly di-
vided. Choose the stance that gives
YOU the most comfort.

A NEW idea in the holding of in
n vitation golf tournaments is be-
"A fore the members of Congress
sional Country Club today for
consideration and presentation
to the club board of governors. Guy
Mason. chairman of the golf Commit
tee, has laid before the membership
plan to hold an open invitation tourna-
ment only once every two years. In
the odd years, under the Mason plan,
Congressional Club will hold an invi-
tation tournament with severely re-
stricted entry list. open only to MEM
bers of clubs of the District Coli Asso-
ciation with handicaps of 20 and more.
Thus Mason is endeavoring to carry
out his plan of holding tournament
for buffers and prevent the more or
less complete domination of tournament
golf and prize winning by a compara-
lively small group of leading amateur
golfers about Washington. The matter
will be acted upon by the board at
some time prior to next Spring.
Lieut.. G. b. Sherwood is the new
holder of the Siamese Cup, one OF the
major trophies in competition each year
at Chevy Chase Club. Lieut.. Sherwood,
who has established himself as one of
the leading players of the club In his
short stay in Washington, won the COM
petition yesterday, defeating E. o. Wag-
enhorst in the final round, 2 and /.
The ultimate winner conceded his OPP
ponent eight strokes and was l down

With the 10000 local associations
represented through districts and
the associations Of England and Ger
many represented, the vastness of
Texas was revealed to
some OF the ablest financial leaders
Of the world, Mr.. Underwood said.
The stability and worth Of build

Owens, vice president o. the Re-
public National bank Of Dallas. in
an address before the convention,
compared the associations with the
Federal Reserve System as Ear as

cooperating. Underwood anticipates
a rapid development Of the move

Some figures quoted nc the con
