Leslie said he had no comment to
make on whether he would advocate

The Lindberghs had flown
$50 miles from Moose factory
since 9 a. m. Both smiled as
the 1,200 residents of the vii
lage swarmed in canoes about
the monoplane while it rode
the harbor waves.
Mrs. Lindbergh remained in the
cockpit Of the plane for more than
an hour, while her methodical hus-
band made detailed plans for re-
fueling and took all possible pre-
cautions against a dangerous rip
tide which twice has carried planes
to destruction in the harbor here.
Pose for Photographers
Neither of the famous flying cou-
pie objected to posing for amateur
photographers and both were in the
best of hun1or. Lindbergh remarked
it had been fine trip from Moose
Factory, where they landed on
schedule Sunday, although radio
communications were such that the
landing was rot reported for many
hours.
Col. Lindbergh told reporters they
would leave today for Baker Lake,
a town 800 miles to the north, from
which their uncharted air trail will
turn sharply westward toward the
town of Aklavik, up near the Arctic
ocean.
He arose at $50 and started in
Spection of the plane.
At Aklavik the Western Canada
Anyways was reported concentrating
it's feet of powerful pontoon-
equipped planes to hold them in
readiness for a great search in case
the Lindberghs are forced down
somewhere in the Arctic wastes of
which only these men of the north
land know the dangers.
Face Risks on Route
While recognizing the flying abi1-
ity of Lindbergh, pilots of the
northland know from their own ex-
periences the risks which the
colonel and his wife are facing and
were prepared to lend every assist
ance possible in case of emergency.
The Lindberghs, with the famo6s
husband doing most of the pilot
ing and Mrs. Lindbergh doing the
radio operating, flew Saturday from
Ottawa to Moose Factory, averaging
well over 100 miles an hour, despite
imperfect weather. When they were
unheard from for hours, due to the
fact that their receiving radio sta
ton was shut down and Mrs. Lind
bergh was not sending, some wor-
ries were felt in quarters not thor
oughly familiar with the country
and plans for the fight.
They took off from Moose Factory
at g Sunday morning, after being
entertained by the manager of the
Hudson Bay Company and after
Colonel Lindbergh, with his usual
attention to details, refueled the
plane unassisted.

''NO FOUL" RULE
 FOR TITLE BOUT

Cleveland, O., May 19-CUPl A mo four' rule has been adopted by the Cleveland boxing commission to be enforced at the July 8 bout between w. l.. Strib- ling and Max -Schmeling, Dick Dunn, director of the bout, told the United Press to-day. The rule is similar to one adopted by the New York state athletic (boxing) commission shortly before the Jack Sharkey- Max Schmeling bout last summer. It was not enforced in that fight, however, and Schmeling won on a foul to gain relatively univer- sal regard as worlds heavyweight champion.

Have you ever seen some golfers break their wrists at the start of their backswing? It is done fre- quently-but not with the best re- suits.
 Breaking the wrists too quickly will hinder the pivot to a large ex- tent. The wrists should not be cooked until the upper part of the backswing is reached. It is an aid to the straight left arm and the na- tural body turn to wait until this point in the backswing is reached.
 To prevent cooking the wrists too quickly, take the club back low and close to the ground and controlled by the left hand.
