him only as presiding officer OF the Senate, or

falling back into his niche in his home town
as one of its private citizens.
TT Is perhaps one Of the most Illuminating
highlights on his character that after 30
years of public service he steps again into the
ranks, fts into the simple picture-a great
common denominator Of the American people.
The exaggerated praise. the boot-lcking, the
fattery, which are the daily food Of distin-

on him.

Hip Turns After

BY SOL METZGER.

The proposition that the golfers
hips slide back and forth on line
paralleling the direction line Of the
ball might be disputed by those who
golf by photography. Take my
sketch of Jones near the finish of
a spoon shot. Unquestionably his
hips have turned and are almost at
right angles to the direction line.
This seems absolute proof that the
hips do not slide as stated, that they
rotate instead.
This turn of the hips at the top
and finish is caused by the pull of
the clubhead. Jones. like Cruickshank.

the clubhead, pulling like everything
Now by merely holding on to the
club one forces it to swing up and
around his left shoulder. And as it
goes up and around it pulls ones

But this turn or rotation of the
hips at the finish of the stroke &C.
ours long after the ball has sped on
it's way and has no effect on the
stroke. It is q greater hip turn at
the finish than at the top solely be-
cause the clubhead here has greater
