PACK in the days when Tommy
~ Burns was. trying to establish
his claim to the worlds heavyweight
championship following the retire
ment of Jim Jeffries and Burns de-
feat of Marvin Hart and Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien, two claimants.
Australia sent to these shores one of
her stalwarts, Bill Squires. to test
the mettle of the French Canadian.
Squires had come to America with
an impressive record. having scored
eight consecutive knockoutS before
sailing for the land Of milk and
honey" He challenged Burns, who,
in his eagerneSS to prove his right
to possession of the world title, ac-
cepted the def, met the Australian
at Colma, Calf, on July 4, 1907,
and disposed of the challenger in
the first round.
The following year, on June 8,
1908, Squires, whose value as a
drawing card had been lost as a re-
suit of the quick defeat, went abroad
and there he again faced Burns, who
knocked him out in eight rounds at
Paris. Still Squires was unconvinced.
He disputed Burns superiority over
him and they met for the third time
at Sydney, where Tommy whipped
his man in 13 rounds. Four months
later Tommy lost his title to Jack
Johnson.
Squires, despite his three defeats,
was well liked in Australia, where
he was always a big drawing card.
A contest was arranged between him
and Lang for the country's cham
pionship, and Squires was knocked
out in the seventeenth round. Twice
again he was put to sleep by Lang,
each time in 20 rounds, and then he
retired.
Today Squires is a farmer in a
big way in New South Wales. He
is not rich man, but he is well
fixed. Bill takes a deep interest in
boxing. He is a sports lover who
follows not only his first love, but
cricket and racing as well.

causes the ball to run more smooth
ly and truly, and to drop into the
cup more easily.
This is one valid reason why
Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Leo
Diegel, Tommy Armour and others
play the ball off the left heel. 1t
should be obvious to every one. A
natural swing would find the club
head at its lowest at a point midway
of both feet. The same swing with
the ball set opposite the right heel
and a lofted club employed, will pro-
duce overspin because the clubface
will cut under the ball below center.
Backspin is the last thing you want
in a putt. So try for overspin.
Good putting makes good golf.

THOSE who have been following

to all the stars whose styles were

the left heel.
Now this plan is by no means
essential I have seen good putters
who played the ball from a point
between the middle Of the feet, or
off the right foot, and even the right
toe. But playing off the left heel
is apt to produce one very valuable
result-the face of the club will

edged the failure OF three more Of
the scant stock OF leads which po-

had found the chisel which had
been missing from his tool chest
and which police thought might
have been used by the kidnapers.
Colonel Schwartzkopf, while not
definitely abandoning the evidence
offered by Lightfoot, indicated he
did not consider this lead Of great
Importance.
LIghtfoot had reported his two
German servants disappeared the
night Of tho kidnapping under Pc
culiar circumstances.
The hope that baby held IN
Preston, la, might be the missing
Lindbergh baby, was definitely dis
proven by Col Schwartzkopf. He
said tho Lindberghs had received
telegraphic descriptions Of the
Preston baby and 1t had birth
marks which the Llndbergh baby
docs not have.
The dark blue" sedan clew was
also reported as u dead trail. Police

Tough and O white robed man with
strong, determined face stepped
ashore. y
At first he was mistaken for a
pirate and nearly driven back to
his ship. But the man, whose
name was Patricius, stood his
ground, devoted himself to good
works, and finally went down In
history as the patron saint Of ire
land.
The 18th centenary will be cele-
brated by more than 100000
Catholic pilgrims from all over the

on the exact spot where he landed.
The legend that Patrick was the
ireland, is only one OF hundreds
and which history has shown to be
unreliable.
Historians say that st Patrick
was not an Irishman. He was
almost illiterate, and worldly temp
tations, according to historians,
afflicted him like any other man.
But he possessed the flaming zeal
of all great pioneers and that car
ried him through.

magistrate named Calpurnius In

Patrick was sold In q slave mar

bound for the continent, and found
refuge In O Gallo monastery.
