Eighteen-hole matches in the morning were to cut the group to 16 and eight more will drop out of the championship flight in second round matches in the afternoon. Starting Thursday the players will travel over 36 holes. Seeking his third straight title; Robert McCrary of Des Moines was drawn against the brilliant Billy Six- ty of Milwaukee, who tied with L. B. “Bud” Maytag of Des Moines as run- ner-up to Johnny Goodman, Omaha, medalist. Goodman led the field with a 149, scored Tuesday, and Sixty and May- tag each had 150. The Omahan was a decided favorite to win his first match with Allen Labatt of Minnea- polis. Maytag, defeated by McCrary in the finals in 1929, meets C. Lee Herron of Minneapolis. The fate of the pairings again brought Art Tveraa of Minneapolis and Pat Sawyer, Minneapolis, to- gether. These two fought it out in the Minnesota state amateur tourna- ment championship match last year, with Sawyer winning. Lester Bolstad, former national public links champion, and the only St. Paul survivor, meets Rudy Juran of Minneapolis, national southpaw champion a few years ago.

The Senators Tues- day nosed out St. Louis 11 to 20 ina ninth inning rally as Dave Harris tripled with the bases full and then scored on an error. The Athletics, who have a final crack at Detroit Wednesday, held their lead over the Senators by win- ning 11 out of 14 games. The Bostou Red Sox also bettered a 500 mark for the series but the New York Yankees failed to uphold the prestige of the east, winning five games and losing six and finishing just below Cleve- land, western leader for the series All but the one of Tuesday’s Amer- ican League games were rained out. The league leading St. Louis Cardi- nals took first place for the National League's east-west round by beating the Phillies 2-1 in a battle that com- bined fine pitching with home runs.

Less than 20 minutes later, this same Navy boatload was acclaimed the victor in the classic four - mile varsity race down the Hudson as it handed a clean-cut beating to the heavily-favored Cornell crew, defend- ing champion. The Navy followed Washington's fast pace for the first three miles, Stepped up the beat going into the last mile sufficiently to assume the lead froth the fading Huskics and then had the stuff to withstand Cor- nell's desperate closing bid. This Navy crew staged one of the most astonishing come-backs in row- ing history after a disastrous early season in which they had taken lick- ings from Columbia, Harvard and Syracuse.

Hunter, husky prod- uct of Sherman, Tex., who st over eight of the strongest crews in the land on the rain-swept Hudson. “All we did was make up our mind to beat Cornell, and when we did that there wasn’t anything left to do,” said the handsome six-footer who was elevated to stroke by Coach “Old Dick” Glendon only a fortnight ago. “You know, the coach must not have thought much of our chances. He left us long before the race started end he saw it all from the observation train. He even let us select the shell We wanted to use. I guess he must be pretty happy.” Montana Club Defeats Beach Beach Held Scoreless for First Seven Innings of Game; Er- rors Feature Tilt Beach, N.

Holding Beach scoreless in the first seven innings of the contest, the Baker nine knocked Turnquist, Beach moundsman, out of the box in the fifth inning. Turnquist was replaced by Noyes, who finished the game. An avalanche of errors featured the game. The contest was one of the gemes in the newly formed State Line League, an organization embracing teams from Beach, Sentinel Butte, Golva, Marmarth, N. D., and Baker and Carlyle, Mont.

Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, startled the base- ball world in 1928 by buying Cissell from Portland of the Paciic Coast league for $123,000, fans expedted Cis- Sell to do a lot of startling things. He did them, but they all startled the White Sox instead of the opposi- tion. He fielded poorly and his bat- ting was under the .300 mark for his first three seasons. So far this year, however, Cissell has come back in big style. He has been winning game after game for the White Sox with long hits in the pinches and has turned in some of the choicest fielding to be seen around the American league. He looks like he has “arrived” at last to pay dividends on the large Comiskey invesment. Cissell’s rise in the world of base- ball was a story book romance. Back in 1925 he was with the United States cavalry, where he gained the attention of @ scout from the Des Moines club of the Western league. The scout talked with Cissell, learned that he would rather play baseball than ride horses any day, and forthwith purchased his release from the army for $80. !Cissell burned up the Western league in 1926 and Des Moines re- ceived a fancy dividend on its invest- ment by selling him to Portland for $13,000. After two bright years at Portland, he was sold to the White Sox for $75,000 in cash and for play- ers valued at $48,000—an astonishing total of $123,000. Olympic Chances of Sprint Champ nnn Williams, Canadian Flash, From Defending Title Vancouver, B. C., June 17—(P)— The big question confronting Van- couver sport followers this year is whether Percy Williams, Canadian track idol, will be able to defend his {sprint championships in the 1932 ; Olympic games. | While quietly training on a horse track at Hastings Park here this spring the “Canadian Comet” sus- tained a recurrence of an old knee ailment. An X-ray examination revealed that a chipped bone was affecting the nerves in the knee joint and caused almost constant pain. The bone was first damaged at the Olym- pic trials in 1928. Just how much the knee will re- tard Percy's preparation for this summer’s irack campaign and the coming Olympic games at Los An- geles is not known. ‘Williams’ coach, Bob Granger of Vancouver, is of the opinion that training on the rough horse race track caused aggravation of the old | Navy's shell to a surprising victory] injury. He said that the recurrence came just as Williams was getting down to racing weight. ‘Williams now weighs 128 pounds, six pounds less than when he lost to Eddie Tolan and George Simpson, American sprint stars, in Vancouver last year. Williams won the 100 and 200 me- ter titles at the 1928 games. Coach H. O. Crisler will have 17 major letter men back for his Uni- versity of Minnesota football team next fall.

If one sways instead of pivoting naturally, it is impossible to get the body into the shot for those extra yards. Often the result is a stroke across the ball, ending in a slice. It is easier to pivot by keeping the feet closer together. The distance between Bobby Jones’ feet sometimes is only 10 inches. His body turns and any sway is checked. The nar- row stance also brings the player closer to the ball with the result that the swing is rounder. Free turning of the hips, which is possible with the narrow stance, en- ables the player to impart consider- able acceleration to the club-head by jthe body turn alone.
