NEW YORK, April %.—One of the new canons of geoifing style avhich no heretie has yet dared to dispute is that which ad- vises the player to stand with his ball more nearly in line with his right toe, as the distance to be covered by the shot diminfshes. Nowadays almost every one drives with the ball opposite a spot half way bétween his heels, or even two or thrég inches in front. But he plays his cleek shots with the ball rather farther back, and in approach play usually stands #0 that the ball is almost opposite his right heel. All this is most orthodox. But It is some- what less usual to inquire why it should be so. However, does not the answer to this make plain the whole problem of stance, which Is simply a matter of equi- librium and depends upon one simple rule: However, you stand, you must have your welght o distributed that your center of gravity Is opposite the ball at the moment of hitting it. The reason is not difficult to see, and, perhaps, it may be a source of. enlight- ment as well as a help, to have again brought to the notice of those golfers who are in the habit of pulling or slicing badly one fundamentdl idea. | An ordinary ‘golf club is constructed so | that it the ball is to be. hit squarely the | shaft thust: at that morment of mpact be {at right angles to the direction in which the player wishes his ball to travel; that {s to say, the player's hand must be op- posite. the .ball. If they are not the olub face, as it comes In contact with the ball, cannot possibly be at right angles to the line-of fHght, apd a glancing blow, re- sulting in & pull or slice, s the inevitable result. | 1t Is, however, easy for a golfer to prove | for himself how the natural position of the hagds, in holding any two-handed weapon such as a golf club, depends upon the dis- tribubton of the. welght of the body. Let him clasp his hands in front of him, then shitt his welght on to his left foot and note how promptly his arms fall forward, like some delicaté pendulum, in accordance with the change. Contrariwise, if he throws his welght on.to his right foot and at- !tempts at the same time.to keep his hands well togthe left as if he were going to play “off his left toe,” he will raalize that the position s one of constraint in which a powerful stroke is impossible. It is this factor which makes It 80 awk- ward to play from an uneven or !ssecure stance. The player's welght has to be dla- tributed differently from usual, owing to the necessity of obtaining a firm footing and the natural position of his hands being thus altered to play his ordinary stroke | becomes impossible. Every one has ex- perienced the fact that where some hillock or hollow in the ground prevents him from resting the same proportion of welght as usual upon each foot, though the stance is otherwise the same, he feels that he simply cannot play the stroke eBcording to his accustomed method; often he is con- strained to play in some fashion quite un- tried—and with complete success. Because, s we must know, the most Important thing 1« not that he should stand in a par- ticular way, but.that stance and swing showld be sultable to each other. Goif, like fencing and other sports In which the stroke demands great nicety of aim, de- mands that the poisé of the body be recks ored as of the utmost importance. Driving with the ball well forward and driving with it as far back as possible have each certain- advantages, but neither is the slightest good unless the player Is standing 80 that the natural position of the hands, that position into which they will fall at the lowest point of the stroke, s exaetly opposite the ball. It Is hardly | ecessary to prove that it is when the hands are In this natural position that the blow attains its greatest force. In theory it is quite sufficient that the body ‘should be properly balanced at the moment of striking the ball. Accordingly | swaying the body is not necessarily fatal to | &, good shot, In practice, however, the case Is rather different, because when & player sways back with the upward swing of his club the chances are against him swaying forward to exactly the right de- gree in the down stroke. In any case, by swaying ha §s introducing & new and diffi- cult factor Into his calculations, and the lesd this factor is allowed to affect the conditions of the problem the better. It is all very well to talk about the bad awkward stance, bad habits into which many golfers have grown; what inter | falls. An early visit to the club's profes- slonal and a couple of lessons ought to show the player just how to overcome his errors, ENTRIES FULL OF INTEREST Every Big Line Driver Will Be at Grand Raplds.

Hornerhi(T\:;ls Martin Sheridan Michigan Runner Recognized as Best All Around Athléte in Amer- ica Today. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., ‘April %.—Horner of Michigan, now recognizec «s the great- est all around athlete in America, will' be the center of &ttraction in the special events at Pennsylvania's relay races. He seems destined to fill the shoes of Martin Sheridan, Amerfca's all around champion, and to say that he will probably make even better records than the world famous Mar- tin about the highest praise that can be given (o Horner, The Michigan marvel seems to be at home either on track or field. For instance, in the recent meet with Cotnell, Horner won the . thirty-five vard dash, was second in the hurdles and won the high jump and shot put. The latter is his special'event and, barring acoidents, he is sure to make a new college record. Horner will compete, in the shot put and high jump, and he will also enter either the hurdles or the 100 yards. Though a big man, welghing, cloge to 190 pounds, he has shown great speed even for the quarter, though It Is hardly likely .that outdoors he will prove so fast in this contest, During the past winter Horner has com- peted in the following events with the fol- lowing records: Thirty-five yards dash, 4 seconds; forty yards hurdle, 5% seconds; shot put, 46 feet 74 inches; bigh jump, & feet 11 Inches. He has also rum on Michigan's one-mile relay team. Horner s a good broad jurhper and he has done eleven feet in the pole vault. Thus, with such remarkable ability in so many different events, Horner 1s expected to break all existing point rec- ords when he competes In the all arouna chlmplnnshw thi$ summer. ———— RUOSEVLLT GUEST OF PARIS (Lontlmed lrom First Page.)

Busi- ness was more adtive than for days past, and the advance, which extended to some % points, or $1.60 per bale, on most of the new crop months, reflected excited general buying. The market was influenced also by cov- ering again cotton supposed to have been shipped by the recently falled southern tirm, particularly In Liverpool, and there was moreover some buying upon a report compiled by & local authority showing a proopective reduction in the acreage of Mississippi and Loulsiana. NEW ORLBANS, April 2%.—Freesing weather and snow in many parts of the south sent cottori up $1.75 on the opening in the local future market today. The new erop Is reported killed in many places. The market opened with the new crop months at an advance of 34 points over Baturday's closing. The ol crop months werg not affected so much, but steod at an advance of 14 to 20 points. On the fleor were many delegations of planters from the interlor of the cotton belt. This element bought heavily and so did the shorts. After the call bears tried hard to check the advance, offering great quanti- ties of cotton, but In the first half hour of trading the advance in October was widened to 3 points. One of the contentions of the long side that planters were short of seed and that if the cotton was killed in many places by the cold weather, another short crop would be in order this seasor. Texas is said to have suffered severely. Reports of i¢e In many sections of Mis: sippl were received, and the Georgia crop, on which hung a large part of the hopes of the bears, was reported to have been severely damaged. All of the cotton which was up in many. parts of the interior of the south s reported killed and the seed which had been put in the ground is said to be rotting. The future market continued to seek || higher levels as the day advanced and at noon the new ¢rop months showed an ad- vance of $3.60 a bale over the close Sat- urday. HOW UNCLE SAM BUYS COAL Price Pald is Determined by Qual- ity and Inspection Pur- sued with Vigor. The™ United States government buys about $7,000,000 worth of coal evéry year for use in the navy, In public bulldings in ‘Washington, and other oities, and for other purposes, about one-third of it—mainly coal used in public buildings—on specifica- tions under which prices are fixed accord- ing to the value or quality of the coal de- livered by the successful bidder. A definite standard of quality for the coal thus purchased is specified by each bidder, and this standard is considered in awarding the contract, If the value of the coal furnished {s below the standard fixed a discount is made from the contract price, it its value is aboxe the standard an al- lowance s made for the.excess in value and a proper sum Is pald In addition to the contract price. The value is determined by tests and analyses made by the geologi- cal survey on samples taken from the coal furnished by the contractor. These analyses and tests show the quality of the coal in terms of fixed carbon, vol- atile matter, sulphur, ash, and moisture, and especially it8 heating value in British thermal units, as determined by calorimet. ric tests, Until within a few years the agents of the government, in buying coal relied upon the integrity of the dealer and the repu- tation of the mine or district from which the coal was obtained, and these formed the only possible assurance that the coal was equal in quality to the grade to be furnished. The new method has been so successful that It will probably be gradu- ally extended to cover a larger share of the government's fuel supply. A full statement of this method of buying coal Is contalned in a recent bulletin of the United States Geological Survey (Bulletin 428), entitled ““The purchase of coal by the government under specifications, with analyses of coal dellvered for the fiscal year 1908-09," by George S. Pope. The bulletin includes a satement of the factors affecting the value of coal, a de- scription of the methods adopted for sam- pling and testing, a form of specifications used under the new plan, a list of govern- ment contracts for coal for the fiscal year 1909-10, and & table of analyses of coal furnished for the flscal year 1908-09: The new plan has not yet been applied to fuel purchased for the vessels of the United States navy, but does cover about 400,000 tons of coal bought for use on the He | [sthmus of Panama and about 140,000 tons | used on steamers plying from New York to Colon.~Washington Herald.

The Omaha Woman's club has finished its year's work, installed its new officers and adjourned until next October. The annual meeting was held Monday afternoon and a large attendance was out. Reports of the eight departments showed all doing good, definite work, while the reports of the general officers indicate stability and serious effort. Under the presidency of Mrs, Edward Johnson during the last two years the club has made a material gain in membership - and she retires with an efiviable record to her credit. Mrs, D. M. Cameron, the newly elected president, returns to the executive com- mittee, which she has served before as recording secretary, with the confidence of the entire membership and its cordial support. With Mrs. C. W. Hayes, vice president; Mrs, L. J. Healy, second vi president; Mra. N. H. Nelson, r«mn-m:\~ secretary; Mrs. George Bonner, correspond- Ing secretary, and Mrs. E. R Hume, treasurer, the new executive committee is strong and the prospects for the year bright. Regarding the several proposed amend- ments to the bylaws of the General Fed- eration of Women's clubs proposed by its executive committee, the club will send its delegates to the Cincinnati meeting un- instructed with the exception of one amendment proposing to increase the state federation dues to the general from % to 50 cents & club. On this ohange the local women drew the line, feeling that it would work & hardship to the smaller town clubs and the state federations, which are al- ready heavily taxed to meet their obliga- tions and thelr demands. Mrs. George Tilden, who has long been in touch with the work, expressed. the opinfon that the tendency of the national organizations is to grow extravagant. and she advocated devoting any additional tax to the work in the state which is much in need of it. It was voted that the club should plant a Boston lvy at the library bullding Wednesday at 12 o'clock. The old and new exccutive committees will do the planting. The moving ploture show and its possi- bilities has attracted the attention of club women and others interested In soclal bet- terment and promises to be turned to prac- tical account in several cities before long. Miss Jane Addams' suggestion that moving plctures of the thrilling stories of the Bible be substituted for the Sunday night sermon in many of the churches has met with cordial approval and the women are now agitating that moving pleture theaters bo operated by the clubs with the present popular § and 10 cent admission charged and that the storles of the Old Testament be substituted for the too often question- | able themes 8o popular in almost all cities and towns. The question of securing the slides and the expense of it 18 of course the serious obstacle, but this can and wil be met as other needs have been met when the club have declded that they must be. It has been suggested that slides showing Bible® stories, slides of travels and other things that would be educational and up- lifting can be provided and sent from one place to another just as the majority of the popular moving plcture show slides are. The establishment of a few of these theaters would create the demand for slides and make them more easily obtainabie. This subject will come up for discussion in many of the state federations of clubs this fall afid will undoubtedly lead to definite action.
