Mrs. Click Setting Own Pace
In Defense of State Golf Title

Mrs. Maurice Click apparently
has been setting her own pace in
defense of her Maryland State

Columbia Country Club.

a poor round for her, but after
all there was little at stake. In

Mrs. Click won, 7 and 6, and

On the follow-through above
make sure the face Of the putter
is square to the line. Do not
open or close the clubface.
If you can locate the direction
the grain of the green runs, you
have won half the battle in your
effort to get your putt down. If
you can see a shine on the green
when you are lining up your
putt it means that you are
putting down the grain Of the
green. The ball is going to travel
very fast and you will have to
make allowances for its speed so
it will not run several feet past
the hole.
When I see a shine on the
grass on the right side in lining
up a putt 1 play to the right
even if I don't see a break in the
green in that direction because
I know the grain is running from
right to left. The reverse is true
if you see the shine on the left
and you must then make your
allowances accordingly.
If you are on the other side
of the hole, looking back toward
your ball while trying to line it
up and you see the shine, you
will have to putt against the
grain. This means you will have
to hit the ball little harder to
reach the hole. Remember in
putting that the stroke can't do
it all. You have to know how
hard to hit the ball and where
to aim it.
When playing mountain
courses. remember that puts
will always break away from the
mountains. This is true even if
in reading the green's" it doesn't
look that way to you.
From every observation I have
ever made of putting there is no
reason why the average golfer
cannot putt reasonably we'll since
putting is merely rolling the ball
over the surface of the green by
striking it a gentle but firm blow.
Putting, it seems to me is a mat
ter of concentration. relaxation
and confidence. Mental strain
while putting is probably respon-
sible for more missed strokes
than any mistake in the physical
mechanics Of putting.

sweeps. Gibson had a couple of
customers in the extra sweeps.
c. T. Nemir was the big WIN
ner among the members. He

Increase Asked

The City Manager has written to
the Arizona State Tax Commission
requesting a larger share of the
state distributed taxes for the City
of Phoenix. The request is based on
the federal census re-check of the
areas annexed tosthe City since the
1850 federal census was taken. The
re-check showed these annexed
areas to have 1850 population of
1924 The Phoenix figure as a
result of the 1850 census. was 1O6,-
818. Reports of the re-check were
also forwarded to the Commission.
Part oft he State sales tax reve-
nues and gasoline and automobile
lieu taxes are. .rebated to cities and
counties under a formula involving
both population and assessed Valua-
ton, 1t is estimated by the FL

Condemned Prisoners Case TO BE
Heard Before u. S. Supreme Court

:. SAN FRANCISCOIThe case of
Wesley Robert Wells, 44-year-old
Negro who faces death in San
Quentin prison for throwing a
euspidor at guard. has been
placed before the United States
Supreme Court.
AS Wells death sentence is based
on Sec. $500 of the California Penal
Code, which provides that prison
er serving a life term may be sem
fenced to death if he assaults a
guard. Although the guard in ques-
ton is alive and in good health,
Wells has spent the last six years
in San Quentin death row for the
act. There is no other instance of
a prisoner being sentenced to death
under this provision where no
human life has been taken.
According to report, Charles R.
Garry, attorney who filed the peti-
tion on behalf of Wells, argues that
the death sentence is invalid on
four main counts:
il The California Supreme Court
erred when it failed by a 4 to 2
margin to reverse the lower court
verdict of death. The judge in that
court refused to permit medical
testimony that Wells was in state
of high tension due to prolonged
solitary confinement at the time
he threw the cuspidor
q Under California Law there
is no such thing as a life term
err. Therefore the phrase is "fac-
titious and doesn't apply.
81 At the time of the 1947 Incl
dent, Wells was entitled to a SEN
tence of less than life. The only
reason he didn't have it was that
the adult authority had declined to
set it. s.
a u. S. District Judge Louis E.
Goodman ruled that the adult
authority, "by deliberate and de-
signed inactivity" in not setting the
sentence, had denied Wells the due
process to which he is entitled by
law.
The United States Supreme
Court is now in recess and is ex-
pected to consider the case when it
reconvenes in October.
