low through is absolutely vital In a
teed-up mldiron drive. Hy it the. di
rection, the touch, the distance and the
bucccah or failure of the shot is mens
ured." Ovcrawinging, the paramount fault
of the beginner when tryiug for n
reasonably long iron, she said, is the
thing most ' greatly to bo guarded
against. The same amount of distance
may be gotten by most players by the
firmness of the swing and attention to
the shifting nf the weight at just the
proper moment, as by n badly over
done swing which may happen to catch
the ball. In nine cases out of ten,
however, the club head will not catch
the bnll fairly, when the player over
swings. The result Is most anything.
It was pointed out, and most of all, a
badly disrupted game, for one over
Nwing seems to bring on another, In
the attempt to make up the ground lost
previously.
Hands Finn
"The hands must grip the club
firmly." explains Miss Chandler, "and
the writs must not be allowed to work
loosely. A very firm position must
also be tnken up when playing n mid
Iron drive, but not so firmly that thi
feet may not shift the weight at jubt
the proper time."
The feet. It was explained, however,
must not be thought of since. If the
body turns correctly with the arms, the
feet will take care of themselves.
The free working of the arms away
from the body at the finish and well
thrown out. the balance as the body
lins turned thrown to the left foot, with
the right foot giving, nil this Is seen in
the illustration as Miss Chandler is
watching the flight of her ball after
the follow-through is completed.
The body, said Miss Chandler, should
finish well past the original position of
the ball.

no action be taken at this time toward

he was defeated by Jack Sharkey on

ZAHN COACHES VISITORS
OeorRe Zahn will chaperon his Dart
mouth ITnivcrsity basketball team to
Swarthmore late this afternoon for n
Knmc there with the college five of that
plnce. Mr. Zahn. who is n Philadel
phian, is makinjr his first visit here as
coach of Dartmouth. He has n mighty
hard proposition on his hands this enr,
as basketball talent nt the IHk Oreen
institute has been inexperienced.
Last night Dartmouth played Tem
ple University and ran second to the
local five by a score1 of !4 to 20. Cap
tain CSillam's foul tossing and the ex
cellent field goal shooting of Oross gave
Temple a hard-fought victory.
This was the third consecutive de
feat the big green team has suffered on
its present tour.
The Dartmouth team scored first
blood when Kopf. a brother of Hill
Kopf, of the Cincinnati Reds, tossed a
goal from the fifteen-foot mark. Tho
big green team could not hold the lead
long, ns Gillam tossed four foul goals
in a row and from then on the Tem
ple team was never headed.
The Dartmouth team was away 'off
form in its passing nnd time nnd again
the Temple men would take the ball
away from them. '

EASTERN MOGULS MEET
Cincinnati, O., Jan. 8. August
Herrmann, chairman of the Natioual
Baseball Commission, recommended that
no chairman to succeed him should be
elected at the present annual meeting
of tho commission hold here today.
Hccrmann said that in view of the
fact that no definite conclusions in the
I matter of a chairman have been reached
by either of the two leagues or the
committees representing them thnt the
election should be deferred until the
1 meeting of the two leagues called for
early next montn.
Herrmann made his recommendation
in his annual report, which he read at
the meeting.
Tlpfprrlnp n the fnct that a vcar ago
he advised deferring election of a chair
man until the club owners wero agreed
on the question of a one-man commib
Mon or a three-member board, as at
present. Herrmann said :
"Understanding that no definite con
clusions with respect to this matter
have been reached either by the two
leagues or the committees representing
them, it must be apparent that there
should not be any election of officers ut
this time. In making this statement I
want it understood thnt it is not done
with n view on my part .to hold on to
the office, but, on the contrary, I believe
thnt. tho nupstinn in controversy bhould
be taken up by the committees already
appointed for this purpose, the two
leagues as well as yourselves, for ad
justment at the earliest possible period :
and. in having in mind that there will
probably be a joint conference between
the members of the major leagues within
n prv few weeks, that tho matter
should be definitely determined cither
nrpvlnns thereto or at that time.
"In the National League one club
owner at least is again advocating the
appointment of a onc-imn commission,
notwithstanding that a proposition ot
this kind was decisively defeated by the

KanvtH Cltv. Mo.. Jan 8. As lone as
"semlpro" baseball offers such good Induce
ments thero is little chance of Roy Sanders
kavins th") ranks of major-league "hold
outs" and returning to the big show.
Sanders quit a position In the National
Tjeasue In 1018 when the Pittsburgh club re
fused to meet his salary demands. The Pirate
management announced Monday that San
ders haa been sold to the Philadelphia Na
tional League team, but even this step does
not mean that the former blue hurler Is to
get back Into fast company.
Travmorc Hall, Franklin btreet and
Columbia avenue, the home of tne
American League, promises to witness
some lively basketball and enthusiastic
rooting tonight, for tur-e of the clubs
in the league are Tn a tic for second
place with three wins .and one defeat
and, according fo the schedule, all three
are down to play.
On paper the Girnrd-Xavler clash
should be a win for Bill Devery's pro
teges, and as they have been exhibiting
as much class as any team in the league
a predicted win will not bo far amiss.
But, in the other game, the one be
tween S. P. H. A. and Dobson, is
where the element of doubt prevails.
Both teams aie in the best ot" condi
tion and as they both play a fast game,
an unusually interesting contest is
looked for. 'Whichever way the score
goes, one more team la certain to crawl
up on even terms with Hancock tor
first place nnd perhaps two.
Eastern moguls go Into executive ses
sion this evening and many matters are
down on the schedule, according to re
ports, for discussion prior to the lifting
of the lid on the second half, which
occurs next week.

I KNOW! that the ADLON is the greatest
cigar value in the market today.
The ADLON is based on the most care
ful, scientific study and analysis any cigar,
at any price, has ever had. The details of its
production would fill a book.
One thing, for example: By a process
exclusively my own I remove or nullify the
extraneous gums found in all tobaccos, that
so generally impair the flavor of ordinary
cigars.
The ADLON has the full, true tobacco
flavor from the moment you
light it until you've drawn from
the stub the last possible puff.
A fragrant Havana-filler-and-
shade - grown - wrapper cigar so
wonderfully and mildly blended
that it will satisfy the most
