through which the ball resumes its
normal shape, marks its departure
from contact.
During the time when the clubhead
and the ball have been in contact,
the nature of Johnny's swing has
had an important bearing on the
action of the ball. The fact that he
hits the ball on the upswing should
not imply that a sharp upward
movement of the clubhead is giving
the ball loft. On the contrary the
clubhead continues low, its rise
gradual. Consequently. the ball
skids up the face, as shown in No
2. This imparts a spin to it that
causes it to rise against air pressure.
Hence plenty of loft and short roll
at the END of the shot.

ISTANBUL MOSLEMS
FAVOR NEW SABBATH

ISTANBUL P).-A plebiscite con-
Quoted by the semi-official daily Dunn
huriet shows that Istanbul readers
favor changing the Moslem day of rest
from Friday to Sunday.
Turkish merchants and bankers are
urging the Angora parliament to put
through this reform, which would break
the new Turkeys last link with the old
MoSlem world
At present Turkey actually has only
three full working days a week. On
Sunday her Christian subjects lay off
on Friday the Moslems and on Satur-
day the Jews. Nobody likes to make
any important deal on Tuesday, which
is considered a bad luck day.
The superstition comes from the fact
that it was on Tuesday that Con-
stantinople fell to the Moslem invaders
in 1853 Curiously, the Moslem Turks
have imbibed the Tuesday complex
from descendants of the, conquered
Byzantines.
