The outstanding golfers employ
wrist action in driving. 1t adds ire
mendously to the yardage gained
with the ball, as it imparts addi-.
tional speed to the clubhead as it
passes through the ball.
Carefully note any of these stare
driving as they begin the down.
swing and you will learn that the
wrists do not enter into the stroke
at this early stage.
The accompanying sketch shows
Willie Hunter just beginning his
downswing, Bobby Jones bit fur.
ther along and Harry Cooper almost
half way down. It is evident from
these sketches that the wrists of
each of these players, who differ
somewhat in their methods of OBJ
tanning distance, remain cooked, as
they were at the top when starting
the club down. This is done so they
may reserve the unlocking of the
wrists for the moment the clubhead
is going through the ball, as other
wise they would lose a great deal OF
the power Of their sweep through.

At last the dope of the baseball
series between the Over the Top
Bakers and the Putnam SILK Sox has
been upset 20 the limits of baseball.
No more confidential arguments will
be- in the way 20 offset the rivalry be
tween the two towns. as far as base
bali titles are concerned. The annual
baseball clash between the over the
Top Bakers, representing the Gros-
venordales and the 3 and H. Silk Sox
for Putnam is now history with the
t'tle flag resting in comfort with the
Putnam fandom, after one Of the most
interesting baseball series ever stag
ed in this part Of the Nutmeg state.
The Putnam Silk Sox have earned a
we'll deserved victory through the SUI
preme efforts Of the now famous az
~" Weiss who is the hero Of the Sc
rios. The Hebrew hurler has captur-
ed the title through his gameness
over the baker outfit. After all the
fans realize that the two teams are IN

is no possible let up i'm the rivalry Of
the two towns. The bakers have lost
the title for the Grosvenordaies this
year. bat still an fans are agreed that
the breaks are all that Is necessary TO
win ans title The last two games Of
the series will show the way.
Both teams are 20 be considered in
this annual clash The Bakers were
out 10 win the fourth game at any
cost. They had strengthened their in
field positions with Red Desautels
Of Holy Cross fame at second through
the injury Of Manager Bates in the
second game and which made it neces
sary to make a number Of shifts IN
the fourteen inning affair Of week
ago that Offset the whole team. "Jer-
~" Canty, Tourtellotte High lad, was
given a trial at third and played
good game in place Of Bob" Aucoin.
But with all efforts made by the eros
venordale management 10 even the
series lazy" Weiss gave the Bakers
their third defeat in row.
Lefty Hebert started on the mound
for the Over the Top Bakers and his
pitching baffled the Sox so, that they
were not able 10 score for six full
innings Of play and letting down the
heavy artillery u the SILK Sox with
but two hits during these innings.
Then the seventh started all the trou-

Low GAS TAX
Connecticut One Of Seven States
With 2-Cent Rate

Connecticut is one Of the seven
states in the country which levy a
tax Of two cents per gallon on gas
oline, the lowest gasoline tax in the
nation, a survey conducted by the
Automobile Association reveals.
The survey reveals that at the
present three states impose a tax of
six cents per gallon, eight states
have a five cent tax, twenty have a
four cent tax, one collects az cents
per gallon, nine levy tax Of three
cents, and seven-including Connec-
ticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land-collect a duty Of only two
cents per gallon.
The gasoline tax in all of New
England, in fact, is considerably low
err than the duty in most regions Of
the country. With Vermont. New
Hampshire and Maine charging four
cents a gallon and Connecticut
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island col.
lecting only two cents a gallon. the
gasoline duty for New England as a
whole averages exactly three cents n
gallon while the average duty for
the country as a whole is reported as
slightly more than S.s cents per gal

runs true to form. 1t won't be long
before he finds some women's silk
"undies' on the streets. or sidewalks,
of Mandan.
At any rate. he's getting warmer
and warmer. A few weeks ago he
found q black satin skirt on Main
avenue, Mandan, in the wee hours Of
the morning. This subsequently was
claimed by q Mrs. Smith," Then
he found q string of black beads.
which, as far as Is known, has not
been claimed. This also was found
in the street.
And-land sakes alive-what do
you suppose the sharp-eyed Mandan
street commissioner found on Collins
avenue this morning?
Shamefaced, and with an impede
ment developed suddenly in his
speech, Mr.. Steiner walked into the
office Of City Auditor w. H. Seitz
this morning to reluctantly exhibit
some women's silk boomers. He
1eigned to know not what they were.
And now Charlie Reynolds, Man.
dams chief Of police, is looking for
the bloomerless woman. "Methinks,'
said Charlie, "that Tom would look
better with a leather collar and .
chain leading prison guards around
the country side in search Of escaped
prisoners. He has the greatest nose
in Mandan."
Both are Of the opinion that the
woman who lost the flimsy pink gar
ment is less fitted to withstand the
cold weather than the woman who
lost only her skirt.
