But T suspect they will never see that thing. 5 Harry, several disappoint ing experiences in the mnational open championship, won a big golf competition in California and later gave Walter Hagen a tremendous lacing in a 72-hole match, and he went to Oakmont with the an- nounced intention of becoming the open golfling champion of the United States. He very r did. It required a birdie 3 on a hole of 460 vards by Tommy Armour to tle Cooper’s score of 301, and Tommy had to execute a further miracle next day to catch and beat him in the pl off. So I should say that Gallop- ing Harry was not much chastened at Oakmont and that he will ap- proach the next big tournament in no bashful and retiring frame of mind. 1 really fancied Harry was some- what chastened the previous year, in the 1926 open championship at Scioto. Harry appeared at Scioto obviously not hating himself. He was coming in from a practice round when he met Tommy Armour and Bobby Jones, also out for prac: tice, They had noted the “spinac that formed the deep rough about the course and it looked fairly se- v to them. “What do you think will win here?” inquired Galloping Harry. “I think a score of 200 will stand up all right,” said Armour. Galloping Harry laughed loudly. “Well, I expect to beat that, and 1 don't expect to win the tourna- ment,” he replied. In the first round of the tourna- ment Harry came in with a score of 85, and in the next round he was on his way to a worse card when he that, after all, there would be other champion- ships I fancied this little experience might have chastening effect. But it appears not much. As H stood at the last greea the other day at Oakmont and watched Ar- mour preparing to pl the 10-foot putt which, if he sank it, would put him into a tie with Galloping Harry, at a score of 301, Harry sai “I hope he si it.

W YORK,, August 8 —Suffering from a possible fracture of the skull and with his left side paralyzed, Fred Roe, Texas banker and rancher and a member of the United States inter- national polo squad, was in the hos- pital today, the victim of,a fall from his pony during a practice match. Roe was crushed and kn sonsciouus, when his pony s and fell at Fleischmann Field yester- a ternoon. He was rushed to a | hospital at Mineola.

Just be- low is pictured the cause of a hook and the resultant spin and direc tion. At the bottom is pictured the contact that results in a straight shot. Note in this last drawing that the clubhead is on the line of flight for some distance. That is as it should be. Were we dependent upon getting a straight ball by meeting the ball the one instance in the arc of the swing that the club face is supposed to be at right angles to the line of flight, there would be precious few straight Lalls hit by any one. The clubhead actually does travel straight along the line of flight for 8 inches or more at contact, when the shot is properly played. Check up some day when your drive is straight and you happen to take a bit of grass. The divot will be straight along the line of flight. Smoking and Throat Protection As viewed by 9651* Doctors WHAT is the quality that so many of those whose voices are precious have found that makes LUCKY STRIKE cigarettes de- lightful and of no possible injury to those voices? For the answer, a number of physicians, many of them leading physicians, in various parts of the United States were recently asked these two questions: @ 1—In your judgment is the heat treatment or toasting process applied to tobac- cos previously aged and cured, likely to free the cigarette from irritation to the throat? 9651 doctors answered this question “YES”. Q 2—Do you think from your experience with LUCKY STRIKE cig- arettes that they are less irritating to sensitive or tender throats than other cigarettes, what- ever the reason? 11,105 doctors answered this question “YES”. Consider what these figures mean; consider that they represent the opinion and experi- ence of doctors, those whose business it is to know. “It’s toasted No Throat Irritation -No Cough. Joseph Caillaux, Noted French Orator, writes “I have found your Lucky Strike Cigarettes very agree- able. They do not hurt my throat in the least and are very soothing to my voice.” d cw I l 3 WE HEREBY CERTIFY that we have examined signedcards answering Questions One and Two and that there are 9,651affirmative answers to Ques- tion One and 11,105 affirmative an- swers to Question Two.

The Amerjcan team probably wil enter the international series with the British Army-in-India players with a handicap of 38.
