CLAMPING RIGHT ELBOW AGAINST RIBS RESULTS
 IN TOO FLAT A SWING

Many golfers have the wrong idea about the right elbow. It never should be clamped tightly against the robs or flat swing will result; neither should it be allowed to wan der too far from the side, for this error shuts the face of the club and swinging from the inside is impos- sible.
 Let the right arm be relaxed in the swing until just before impact, when it straightens and gives power to the stroke.

Pawtucket, R. T., April 28 Lea Lightning" Jones, who is un- der contract to J. R. Gregory, prob- ably will be the pilot aboard the record-shattering Clang in the Nar- ragansett Handicap here on Satur- day of this week, Jones, New Or- leans boy who lead the American riders a few seasons ago, can still ride at 108 pounds and is one of the most accomplished horsemen in tho country.
 Red" Gregory is one of those
 high percentage horsemen. In
 1895, with a limited string,
 Red" saddled 68 winners. He
 bids fair to equal that mark this
 season. With only four platers
 in his care = Precursor, Hickory Lad, Catchall and Would Dare
 Gregory's charges have made
 only 16 starts in 1886 and have
 been first past the post on 12
 occasions. Gregory's string is rarin' to go at Narragansett.
 The railbirds got a spectacular demonstration early this morn- ing of one reason why Clang has gone places faster than any other thoroughbred in the world. For several days now they have been marveling at his time in workouts. This morning his trainer, Bill Sallie. took the speed king to the starting barrier for schooling. After pacing impetuously for brief minute, he flew out of his stall at the gong faster, many clockers said, than they had ever seen a horse break in New England.
 Trainer Bobby Curran has
 taken over for the Araho Stable,
 the five-year contract on
 Frankie McTague, a 16-year-- old exercise boy who weights only
 70 pounds but has shown amaz-
 ing riding ability. The young

 riders in Canada and the United

Legs are frequently the least de-

underdevelopment may be marked
by the lack Of muscles in skinny
legs, or with poor muscle tone and
a superabundance Of fat. In
either case, the legs are wanting

This muscular Acknowledgement

Awkward Jumps Of fat or unbe-

legs that are too fat or too thin,

through inaction.

concerts of Latin American music
was given last night at the Aztec
Gardens, of the Pan American
Union, by the U. S. Navy Band
with Gustavo Carrasco, Cuban
tenor, the assisting artist.
Lieut.. Charles Benter, director
Of the Navy Band, presented pro
gram we'll selected for contrasting
elements in which there we're five
works that were given first hear
ing in washington. The Paso
Doble, "Metropohtanos" Carlos
Monroy, Colombia), opened the
program with a diversity of dance
rhythms.
The grand scenes from the opera
La Fosca" Gomez. BraziD, had
a novel introduction with the flute
and oboe alternating with the
tubas in presenting theme which
was further developed in a fugal
style. The tango, ALA En- Ell
Rancho Grande" &c. D. Uranga,
Mexico), was a tuneful rhythmic
work. The use of ancient Inca
themes in "Calcuchina" Carlos
Valderrama, Peru, made an in
|teresting novelty containing mel
odic lines more closely related to
European music than that of the
North American Indian.
Senior GuStavo CarraSco, Cuban
tenor, gave two groups of songs
which were cordially received by
the large audience present. His
voice has a wide range with elias
tic flexibility; the upper tones are
we'll controlled and covered; the
lower tones are of slightly
heavier timbre than those of the
upper register his resonance per-
mitted the tones to carry through
out the garden without the use Of
simplifying devices which were
used last season.
Senior Carrasco sang sever |
songs that were of the lifting popu-
lar type such as "Juventud" &c. S.
de Fuentes, Cuba) and "Lamento
Esclavo" (E. Grenet, Cuba). He
was accompanied by Mrs. George
H. Wilson at the piano for most
of his numbers, but in singing the
aria "Forma Sublime" from the
opera Salvador RoaS" Comes,
BraziD, the resources of the Navy
Band were called upon. In the
latter work the soloist sang with
a slight restraint, although Lieu
tenant Benter kept the accompani-
ment well Subdued.
A melodic gem eel indiana"
IS. Maiquez. Argentina, was
played by Musician Oscar Short
as a cornet solo, and Musician C.

Eel Choclo," GA. G. Villoldo,
Argentina, was presented by a
quartet consisting of harp, vibra-
phone and two xylophones. This
latter work played by instruments
typical of Latin American furn-
ished a pleasing interlude. The
concert was concluded with a
potpourri Of Habanera tunes from
Chile entitled, la Juventud";;
and, after a short talk by the
director general. DR.. Rowe, the
star Spangled Banner" brought
the goodwill program to close.
"Swing-music" is not so much a
rhythm Of accents as the rhythms
which preceded it which are
shown above. In order to better
understand the final definition of

morrow in this column it is advis-
able to understand the various
steps in rhythm that have led up
