Iron Shot in Breeze Is Cruickshank's Best
BY BOBBY CRUICKSHANK
The Wee Scot

The Wee Scot
Best shot I ever made was my
second on the last hole of the 1928
National Open at Inwood, L. I. The
shot was made with No. 2 iron.
There was a fresh breeze blow
ing from left to right and imme-
diately in front of the green was
an 1S-foot water hazard. I needed a
three to tie and had 185-yard shot
left.
The ball sailed to the left Of the
pin where the wind drifted it seven
feet from the cup.
I holed the putt, lost to Bobby
Jones in the playoff.
The shot was made with the ball
more toward my right foot, slightly
open stance. kept my head down,
weight forward and was perfectly
balanced.
was slow at the top Of the back
swing to assure perfect timing and
full use Of the hands.

TIE NAVY

When the Continental Congress
in 1875 heard that a large amount
Of British powder was being stored
on the Bahama Island of New
Providence, it appointed Esck Hop
kinS Commandcr-in-chief of the
fleet and ordered him 10 lead an
assault Several captains and lieu
tenants were named by the legis-
latorS, including one Lieut.. John
Paul Jones.
Under the cover Of severe gale
this newly organized American
fleet sailed through a large Brit
ISL naval force off the Carolina
coast and reach its rendezvous
somewhere in the Bahama Islands.
\ landing force of marines and
sailors landed from the Alfred and
the Cabot on the eastern end Of
New Providence under cover of
two more ships. while the rest Of
the fleet stood by off shore.
Threatening the governor Of the
British island in Nassau, the
Americans were given control Of
Forts Nassau and Montague and

Dor, spending two weeks loading

A Patriotic Veto

r OVERNOR- VAN WAGNER merits commentator
II from all of Michigan for his veto yesterday Of the
bill which would have taken Michigan off the new day
light saving war time
The bill conceived in irresponsible selfshness
would have placed state he absurd position of
being alien all other states in the highly important
matter of daylight saving. 1t would have created con-
fusion in vital industries and transportation
systems 1t would have worked needless hardship on
defense workers by deprving them of precious hour
Of daylight for recreation.
And it would have benefited nobody, not the
relatively few dairy farmers whose legislative repre-
sentatives connved it through Senate and House in
breathtaking fashion.
IT IS tribute to the governors courage and of
justice that he scorned to be blufed by the BULLDOG
ing tactics of the rural legislative bloc.
In his veto message he stated:
For Michigan TO hold back this direct COntri-
button toward winning the and to insist time
schedule that would create dsnity in the national
effort is not in harmony with the desires of citizens"
Governor Van Wagner is right.
His veto brave veto wise veto, and pa
triotic veto.
