wholly willing to concede even this point. The mental effect has an influence.
If you practise a follow-through, you are less inclined to tighten up the muscles in the earlier stages of the swing. You have none of that incentive to a constricted physical condition which is likely to assert itself in players who check the club-head directly they have delivered the blow. And a taut state of the muscles during the swing is unquestionably bad. This tightening up in the determination to hit hard is the cause of moro unhappy shots than any other in- fluence to which the golfer is susceptible.
Examples of its evil effect crowd upon the student of methods who waits and watches on any course during the members' busy week end. A sense of bodily relaxation helps to promote a good balance, a smooth swing, and the capacity to make the club-head travel at its fastest as it strikes the ball. If you are in the habit of following

FOOTBALL CLUB
Discussion at Annual Meeting
An extraordinary general meet- ing of the Hong Kong Football Club was held last night, for the purpose of approving revised rules of the Club and its government.
Mr. J. Ralston, in the chair, spoke about the finances and said that it had been felt necessary that the Club should come into
line with other clubs in the Colony, and make some additional charge for the amenities which were conferred by membership.
Mr. Logaŋ asked whether it would not be more equitable for the annual subscription to be raised by one dollar per annum., Mr. Ralston replied that the amen- itles the Club offered would not deter prospective members from joining.
The motion was carried.

Scott says America has not a single good boxer.
