Drillers are still at work on the

town water supply sufficient for all
purposes, but as yet no definite re-

full of announcing the acquisition of a
well with plenty of water in it. The
supply has materially increased dur
ing the past few days.
The water in the reservoir, how

I've asked the question of
others. They shake their heads.
They cannot understand. Make
is a puzzle to them. But he is no
puzzle to me.
They call him the Peter Pan
of Boxing" light-hearted, gay,
carefree and fun loving fellow
who regards any fight as just
another way of making money
and looks upon life as a gigantic
playground. And. because they
think of him only in that way,
they lose sight of the fact that
Marie RoSenbloom has about the
keeneSt ring brain that the ring
has known for great many
years.
Make is the most cunning. the
craftieSt of modern ring generals.
He knows that the way to be.
fuddle foeman is to do the
unexpected. He is always doing
that. He constantly outthinks his
rival. He has an uncanny ability
to anticipate what the other man
plans TO do. And then he crosses
up the other fellow. He is about
six punches ahead of all oppoSi.
tion in the matter of strategy
and, thus, Make Rosenbloom be-
comes the glittering example of
what a tremendous asset an alert
ring brain can be.

That is a dangerous policy;
it is flirting with real trouble.

The fraction of turn-in on the
face of the club will result in a
hopeless smother. The only safe
and reasonable plan is to let the
club lie naturally to the ball
neither turned in nor out.
Another incentive to topping is
the use of a club with too straight
a face. Such a club may Justify
its existence in the hands of q
Bobby Jones or Walter Hagen, but
a novice will eventually find that
it adds to his difficulties if he EN-.
ploys it. 1t offers no worthy com
pensation, either. in the way of
added length over a club with
more loft.

KNOW ART
Of SHOT

Shut-face action is an aid and
abetter to topping in golf. The
best drive made with a shut
face is never far removed from
smother. because it comes
down to the ball half turned
over.
/ condemn the shut-face swing
as dangerous--for the novice, at
any rate Experienced players
may be able to employ it with
every success because they have
learned to control the club.
The novice. however. will be
much better advised to cultivate

face to that class of player who

rotate the wrists freely and

raj movement which causes the
shutfaced position.
Another dangerous Subter
fuge is placing the ball too
far forward, in the hope that
by doing so you will be able
to get under the BALI more
effectively.
This is common practice
among noviceS. and l cannot too
strongly advise against it. Al,
most directly your club head gets
to the base of the swing, it com.
mences to rise "on the other &de
of the circle" and if you attempt
to hit your ball with an ascend
ing club, you are simply asking
for topped shot.
Curious as it may sound. am
convinced that within reasonable
limits there is infinitely less
chance of your topping a ball
when hit on the descending
swing than when hit on the
ascending swing, because in one
case you impart back-spin to the
ball which causes it to rise, and
in the other case you impart
oVer-spin which, in theory at any
rate, is the essence of a topped
shot
4 minor cause OF topping lies
in an unnatural turning in of
the face when addressing the
ball.
Many players commit this fault
without being conscious of the
fact. Others do it deliberately.
