 Anybody can be billiard player.
 There is no such thing as a born billiard player
 The most important fundamentals connected with the billiard game are the bridge hand" cn the table, the grip" or manner of holding the cue at the butt end, and the stance" CT position at the table. These three combined are produc- tive of the all important correct stroke. W
 First consider the grip. The cue is held by the first two fingers and the thumb. In reality the cue rests on the first two fingers and is held secure by the thumb The upper side of the cue must not be firm against the flesh and the two smaller fingers must not be touch ing the cue.
 This grip insures a free wrist movement, which is necessary. The action should be only from the el- bow down when shot is made.
 For the bridge hand" form circle with the thumb and first finger, placing the tips of each together Spread the other three fingers apart, with the middle fi:l- ger downward towards the pahl Of the hand. Slide the t;p end of the cue through the circle passing over the top of the middle finger.
 Now close the circle around the cue until both fingers and thumb are touching on all sides. The cue must not be held too firmly but there must not be space for the cue to vibrate sideways.
 Now place your hand cn the table, using just enough pressure to make the bridge firm.
 You now have the correct grip and bridge and are ready to shoot. The next lesson will take up the stance at the table and the shct.

CHINA CANCELS
CONCESSIONS
FROM 1882
Extra Territorial Rights Ban
Disregards Treaty With us.
and Other Foreign Powers

SHANGHAI, May 5 UN.S),
Abrogation of all extraterritorial
rights of foreigners in China from
January, 1882, onward was an
nounced by the nationalist gov
ernment at Nanking today.
The announcement, which diSre.
CARDS the unexpired terms Of
treaties formulated between China
and the United States as well as
other foreign governments, was
made following breakdown Of pro.
lOnged conferences on the queS-
tiOn Of extraordinarily.
In making the announcement,
G. T. Wang, Chinese foreign min
lister, reaffirmed the mandate of
December, 1928, in which it is set
forth that all foreign nationals
must abide by the laws of the
central and local governments of
China without recourse to foreign
Jurisdiction. The statement said t:
"The national government
appreciates the warm sympathy
extended by the other powers
in the endeavOrs to cOnsum-
mate China'S legitimate aspira-
tions. 1t is, however, sincerely
regretted that they are un-
prepared at this juncture to
meet completely the unanimous
and ardent wishes Of the
Chinese government and people.
"In these circumstances, the
national government has no
other alternative but to recOg-
nize and declare that the extra
territOriality negotiations with
the few remaining powers have
reached an unfortunate impaSSe
and to issue tOday'S mandate as
well as regulations governing
the exercise of jurisdiction over
foreign nationals in China"
