A faulty downswing often can be attributed to left heel.
 Many high handicap players start dowIiswing with left heel still of ground ... body turned away from objective.
 When downswing is started in this position srms cannot swing freely since left side, which has failed to turn out of way, blocks them.
 First action at start of down. swing should be replacing left heel.
 This turns body back to ball.
 Hitting then can be done freely.

The National league film is entitled Baseball, the National Game" and is the first of its kind which has been issued by the older circuit. The title of the American league pie ture is '"rhe First Century of Base ball" and is the fifth to be made by that league.

 These baseball films are made for fathers, mothers, sons and daugh- ters, for baseball fans, and for those who have never thrilled to the. close plays of the most perfectly balanc- ed game on earth. They are ad- dressed to the Arnercan public-to parents who would rather see their sons occupied in the wholesome na- tional game than in the unwhole- some game of international intrigue. The films are dedicated to youth, but everyone, in whom the call of youth still survives, will enjoy every moment of its rapidly moving pano- rama.

East Mountain S) Putters
BY PETE sLICER

The weather on Sunday cleared up better than some of the boys heads, because Saturday night at Wash tngton Park Community House the East Mountain Golf association held their annual spring dance. All pres- ent at the dance had fine time but 1t didn't help the golf scores on Sunday (Joe Dunn and Drew Con- nelly will swear by this statemenD
 The association was glad that Supt. and Mrs. James Curtin of Middlebury were able to attend the dance. They did enjoy themselves, we hope.
 We wonder where Sen. Ed Egan obtained that fiashy red bouquet that he carried around in his lapel.
 The dance was highlighted by eX- hibition dances, given by MT. and Mrs. Jack Calo, MT. and Mrs. Jos eph Dunn, MT. and Mrs. Michael Carrosella and Drew Connolly, and Helen Collins.
 The success of the dance was due to the hard working committee of Marty Monti, Don Maclean and Mike Carrosella, but, of course, the members who attended did their bit to help. The committee wishes to thank these members and hope that all had the best of times.
 Drew Connolly mistook Len Cor rado for a Good Humor man at the party and asked him for two vanil- las. Someone was wrongl
 The masquerade tournament that was held Sunday by the Women's association was very successful. Kay Bouley won the prize for the fun niest woman, John Bergin for the funniest dressed man, and Mary Jane Hayes for the best dressed girl. When Bill Egan saw John Bergi,a in the tournament he asked John why he hadn't dressed for the match but when Bill realized that Johr was dressed for it he politely apol- agized for the remark.
 Bill Egan Is back in the groove again and is hitting all his shots well.
 Don't forget, fellows, to get into the kickers' tournaments or sweep stakes that the association runs every weekend. If no one is around to. enter your name Frank Paul Is always willing to take care os you. Help us out, boysl
 :. Andy Leary was burning up the course Sunday until he hit the 1lth hole and then. Re snot a hot 38 on the out g. What did you get coming ! in, Andy? Harry Baurnei who was playing with Andy was matching Andy stroke by stroke. Harry's tee shots were 200 yds. and he was ap- preaching close to the pin.
 One girl that has to be watched in the coming tournaments Is Kay Nido. Her shots have improved steadily and she is coming in with low scores.

U. S. Court Approves
B. & o. Finance Plan

An opinion was handed down
Monday in the United States Dis
trict Court for the District of
Maryland, approving the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Com
pany's plan for modification of
interest charges and maturities.
The lengthy, 15,000-word opin-
ion on the case is summed up by
the court in the following brief
extract:
Gin short summary, we find and
conclude from consideration of the
plan and the testimony in support
thereof that it is fair and equit-
able and indeed highly desirable
and advantageous for all the
creditors as well as in the pub
lie interest and that it is feasible
in that it has reasonable pros
pect of being successfully carried
out so that in the long run the
creditors will have the best chance
to ultimately avoid substantial loss
on their investments, and the Rail-
road will be enabled to continue
its service to the public as an
interstate commerce carrier"
