make the left shoulder lift so
that it gets directly in the
way of your seeing the ball.
The club then turns rather
downward instead of going on
up and around, and gets into
an impossible position for
swinging forward and into the
ball. You lift your head from
this position, it being necessary
to do so in order to see the
ball. All this is caused by your
left elbow showing out at the
start back. Move this elbow
directly across your stomach,
which is the natural. easy way.
Ali good points in the golf
swing you find with experience
to be the natural things to do.

Rain Delays COLOred
Championship Finals

The Colored Boys Track and
Field championship, scheduled to
day on the Francis Junior High
School track, has been called off
on account of rain. It will be
held Wednesday.
In the colored swimming city
finals at the Howard Playground
Pool. two were double winners.
Miss j. Clark Bailey. captured
the 25-yard breast-stroke and the
25-yard free style events in the
17-year-old class, and Robert
Miller took the unlimited 25-yard
breast-stroke and 25-yard back
stroke races.

shape to enter the ring.
Bandy claims Landers ran out
of the match which made both he
and Tramberia hot under the col.
lar since no reimbursement was
forthcoming for training ex-
penses.
Now, says Bandy: ''We've got
these bimbOes right where we
want them. I'm ready to lay
money on the line Jimmy will
stop him within four rounds.
Landers just don't know how
to get out Of the way when a
real puncher begins to throw
'em chinward. We've got plenty
to settle Monday and It's going
to be settled"
The Washington times., 1931-08-21

Incidents developed today make
it even more attractive from the
standpoint of rivalry.
1t now comes to light that when
Bill Bandy, Tramberia's manager,
was offered this match for his
pugilist. he literally jumped up
and down with glee, for there was
a motive behind his madness.
About a year ago, Tramberia
was all set to meet Landers in
Norfolk. Three days before the
bout Landers was suddenly
pulled from the card.
1t developed that the promoters
had failed to get Tony Barbaria's

So-called "quack" doctors came
in for their full share of criti-
cism when the 1881 legislature
considered a measure for regulat-
ing and improving the practice
Of medicine.
A bill creating a board 'cf ex-
aminers and requiring practi-
TONERS to obtain certificates Of
qualifications was passed in the
senate. A powerful lobby of drug
gists and travelling physicians
worked against the measure.
There was a great amount of
quibbling and quarreling among
the senators over exact terms of
the bill and Senator A. A. Shat
fer, Huntington, told the senate
that eff the Ten Commandments
were brought before this body
they would be amended before
finally passed"

TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR
By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS rAas HsT IS me 6g APES

1--WE shall get more wind there and
this boat is lighter and speedier
than theirs. Fate smiled upon us
when it led us to this boat rather
than to a larger one"
AS they approached the sea, their
pursuers, evidently fearing precisely
what Stellara had suggested, opened
fire upon them with arquebuses and
pistols. Occasionally missile
would come dangerously close, but
the range was just little too great
for their primitive weapons and
poor powder.
On they sailed out into the open
Korsar Az, which stretched onward
and upward into the concealing mist
Of the distance. Upon their left
the sea ran inward forming a great
bay, while almost directly ahead of
them though at so great distance
that it was barely discernible, rose
the dim outlines of a headland, and
toward this Tanar held his course.
TINE chase had settled down into
Il logged test of endurance. It
was evident that the Korsars had
no intention of giving up their
prey, even though the pursuit led
to the opposite shore of the Kor-
sar Az, and 1t was equally evident
that Tanar entertained no thought
OF surrender.
On and on they sped, the pur-
sued and the pursuers. Slowly the
headland took shape before them,
and later great forest was visible
to the left Of it--a forest that ran
down almost to the sea.
''You are making for landP" asked
Stellara.

we had am not sufficiently sailor

"But If we take to the land they

girl.
''You forgot the trees, Stellara,"
the man reminded her.
eyes, the trees" she cried. "I had
forgotten. If we can reach the
trees I believe that we shall be safe"
AS they approached the shore in
side the headland, they saw great
combing rollers breaking among the
rocks and the angry, sullen boom of
the sea came back to their ears.

Stellara.
Tanar glanced up and down the
shore-line as far as he could see
and then he turned and let his eyes
rest sadly upon his companion.

CHAPTER FORTY

A CROSS the waters came COM
1 n mands for Tanar to lay TO.
The pursuing boats, which had set
out under sail and already had &C
quired considerable momentum, ap-
peared to be rapidly overhauling
the smaller craft. But presently,
as the speed Of the latter increased,
the distance between them seemed
not to vary.
The shouts Of tie pursuers had
attracted the attention of the sail
ors on board the anchored raiders,
and presently Tanar and Stellara
heard the deep boom Of a cannon
and a heavy shot struck the water
Just of their starboard bow.
Tanar shook his head. THAT is
too close" ne said. Il had better
come about"
'Why?" demanded Stellara.
II do not mind risking capture, -
he said, because in that event no
harm viii befall you when they dis
cover your identity. but can not
risk the cannon shots, for If one of
them strikes us, you will be killed.
do not come about" cried the
girl. II would rather die here with
you than be captured. for capture
would mean death for you and then
I should not care to live. Keep on,
Tanar, we may outdistance them
yet. And as for their cannon shots,
a small moving boat like this is a
difficult target and their marks
manship is none too good"
Again the cannon doomed and
this time the ball passed over them
and struck the water just beyond.
"They are getting our range" said
Tanar.
The girl moved close to his side,
where he sat by the tiller. "Put
your arm around me, Tanar," she
said. IF we must die, let us die
together"
THE Sarian encircled her with
l. his free arm and drew her
close to him, and an instant later
there was a terrific explosion from
the direction Of the raider that had
been firing On them. Turning
quickly toward the ship, they saw
what had happened-an over
charged cannon had exploded.
"They are too anxious" said
Tanar.
1t was some time before another
shot was fired and this one fell
far astern, but the pursuing boats
we're clingins tenaciously to their
wake.
"They are not gaining" said
Stellara.
mo" said Tanar, land neither
are we"
But I think we shall after we
reach the open sea-" said the girl.
