Practice, in Sand Traps
For Golfers Suggested
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

Practice greens and fairways are
part of every well equipped golf
club, but the writer has yet to find q
practice trap. But judging from the
amount of time and profanity the
average golfer expends In the sands,
1t would seem a practice pit would
be very valuable adjunct to any
club.
The average golfer. who soon will
burst forth from his Winters hiber-
mating, probably knows less about
playing trap shots than any other
part Of the brain-cudgeling game.
He Is little given to practicing any
shots and least of all gives any
thought to his niblick until he plows
into deep trap, and then his
thoughts are nothing for women and
children to hear. Most golfers play
bunker shots from theory. And the
ory never yet has beaten practice.
1t Is difficult to say how many
shots are wasted in traps, but the
percentage for the 100-shooters is
heavy.

NINTH WIN IN ROW
IS EASTERN'S GOAL
Techs Opponents Tomorrow
Undefeated in Title Play
Since 1927.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

" ASTERN HIGHS DaSe pail team
- will be after its ninth straight
victory in public high school
championship play when it faces
Tech tomorrow afternoon In the Cen
trail Stadium at 3:45 o'clock. 1t will be
the opening game in the current title
set for the Light Blue.
Last season and in 1928 Eastern swept
the series, scoring over all four Of its
opponents in each set.
There is much speculation as to
whether Coach Chief Guyon's boys can
maintain their clean slate this Spring.
The Lincoln Parkers have lost valuable
material through graduation. The big
gest question is whether Dick Lanahan,
who appears to be the class OF Easterns
mound corps is good enough. eastern
pitchers have been the biggest factor In
the teams success the past two seasons.
Last Spring it was Bud Hanna. and the
year before Andy Oehmann, who came
through in stellar style on the mound
for the Light Blue.
Lanahan has shown impressively in
pre-series games, and Eastern followers
believe he has the stuff. He doubtless
will be opposed tomorrow by Bonnie
Spigel, captain of Tech. Spigel started
on the hill for the Gray in its losing
ga game with Western last Tuesday,
and though he showed well at times his
exhibition on the whole was diSappoint-
ing Tech adherents believe he will re-
deem himself tomorrow. A loss for NC
Kinley will be body blow to its title
hopes.
Record for Two Years.
That Eastern deserved to win the title
the past two seasons is shown In the
fact that 1t captured six of its eight
games in easy style. Here is the Light
Blues record:

To Improve Game

Visualize your golf shots, get
clear mental picture of them before
trying to improve your game. Other
wise progress is slow. That's why
I've sketched the clubhead's action
on both pitch and run-up shots.
Too many players try to play them
almost alike. Hagen gave me this
idea.
AS you can see, in the run-up the
clubhead meets the ball at the low
est point of the arc of the swing and
picks it clean from the turf. The
pitch is different. Here the club

do you consider your inability to sleep from

was asked.
Neither. When I was younger used to try
all sorts of tricks to get to sleep because the
doctors said should try to cultivate the habit.

fingers, try every insomnia remedy ever heard,
but it Doctors even tried drugs on
without effect. Some made me SICK but
none made me sleepy. It's just nature that
don't sleep and therefore it's neither a bless

In regard to the use of drugs on Herpin. the
report of DR.. Charles H. Waters of Penning-
ton avenue Trenton, reads:
ITO a doctor, Herpins case seems impossible,
yet Herpin has taken enough drugs to kill any
ordinary man many times over. He has with
stood chloral, somnoS and morphine in doses

clan put Herpin through a weeks test
about rs years ago in Philadelphia. DR.. Pol

when Herpin first came to me for treat
ment did not believe his story. had one
doctor watch him at night and watched dur
ing the day Nothing resulted. He never slept.
His pulse kept normal. He lost nothing in
weight and was never nervous. I wanted to
give his case to the public at that time, but he
would not consent"
Dr. William B. Van Duyn of Trenton evolved
plan to put Herpin to sleep by means of elec-
tricity through the use of galvanic batteries,
but they had no effect on him.
Psychologists now seem more interested IN
Herpins sleeplessness than physicians. w. r.

uIPOLYTE IRIGOYEN is showed out of the
~ presidency in Argentina by the disconnected
bourgeosie and provincial landowners and
their allies in the army and navy, utilizing
the mass rehabilitation of the workers and
farmers because of the ever-worsening crisis.
At the same time, the state department. IN
Washington openly declares its pleasure with
the removal of this staunch supporter OF Bril-
fish imperialism and becomes hopeful that a
greater degree of cooperation will result from
the new political order that is developing in
Argentina" o.. Y. Times, Sept. 7, 1880.
Argentina has been a vertable battle-ground
between British and American Imperialism for
the past ten years, with the fight keener and
more intense since the election Of Herbert
Hoover. British imperialism awaited itself
fully of Irigoyens cooperation against Amer
lean imperialism. Nor were the Yankee eX
ploiters lax in gaining allies within Argentina
to combat their foremost rival. The present
coup d'etat is as we'll battle involving Bri-
fish and American imperialism. 1t will i'm
measurably sharpen the rivalries of these two
bandit powers throughout Latin America. The
war-danger in Latin America has been multi
piled hundred fold.
Behind the present clash between American
and British imperialism in Argentina there is
a long history of intrigue maneuvers and
struggle for markets.
Before the war British Imperialism had IN
questioned sway as investor and leading trader
in Argentina. The end of the war found
American Imperialism with a solid foothold in
this priced market. From then on, the two
imperialist robbers strained every force avail
able to GUST each other to gain the upper
hand. They lined up the various capitalist
groups in Argentina. British Imperialism
gained a distinct advantage in the election of
Irigoyen. American imperialism records
triumph in his downfall. The result will bring
war a step closer.
Ramsay Macdonald has done his share to
aid British imperialism in its belligerent
preparations for hegemony in Latin America.
1t was under MacDonalds regime that the
D'Abernon Commission was sent to Argentina
with the express purpose of winning trade
from the United States. About month
before the armed uprising in Argentina, the
British government announced the proposed
trip of the Prince of Wales to Argentina as
salesman in order to win trade for the Bri-
fish empire. &.
DR.. Max Winkler, expert on foreign invest
ments and trade, wrote in the n Y Post that
this challenge would not go unanswered by
American imperialism. The lines were then
drawing sharper.
Both princes and labor ministers are ex-
tremey valuable to British imperialism Mac
Donald sharpens the sword of war, while the
Prince of Wales becomes a supersalesman.
Hoover is not the only one to develop. an itch
for Latin American touring The crisis in
creases the sharpness of the struggle for
Latin American markets. Hence the Prince
OF Wales adds another title to his long string,
commissioner Extraordinary of Empire
Trade"
He will visit Argentina next year on the
British aircraft carrier, Eagle, or a battleship.
