WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER CHOLASTIC tossers had a busy day yesterday as well as the independent club sextets. Eight games were played, with one scholastic ehamplonship in the balance and one league title at stake. . Western High School Senior goal shooters battled their way to the Hill- 1op championship in the triple series, which came to a close with a double- header in which the four first teams participated. With a straight record of victories chalked up for their first and second squads and only one de- feat charged against the third team, the Seniors won the series from the Juniors, who had been leading earlier in the series. Senlor Firsts defeated Junior Firsts, 20 to 13, in the critical game yester- ‘day. The series title hung upon this contest, which was hotly contested. Rapid passing on the part of the Sen- jors and greater accuracy under the basket gave them the edge. Sixteen points toward the athletic cup were collected by the Seniors dur- ing the series. Juniors ecarned 14 points, taking second honors. Fresh- men claimed third place by virtie of their first-team victory over the Seph- omores yesterday, 15 to 2. Members of ‘the winning . Senior squad ara Lillian Lindquist, captain: Elizabeth Conway, Marie O’'Daniel, June Robinson, Mary Gilbert and Katherine English. Winning the B. Y. P. U. League championship for the fifth consecutive year, the Iirst Baptist Church sextet cored over the Second Church tossers to 13 in the title game last night. The champs have not been defeated once in the five seasons they have reigned supreme. Second Church and West Washing- ton are tied for second place in the league and will play for place Thurs- day.

Gruss last night defeated Carey Martin, 100 to 65, Bobby Jones Never Overswings a Club GOLF. BY S0L METZGER. <476 Yards—> N~ 5 §— In the open last Summer at Co- lumbus the huge gallery trailing Bobby Jones was continually amaxed oa_his long tee shots of 250, 275 and, sometimes, 300 yards. Apparently without undue effort Bobby would drive for these prodi- glous distances, To the initiated his distances were as nothing com- pared to his uncanny accuracy. On one long hole, the one pictured above, guarded by innumerable traps to the right, Jones sent a beauty down the left side of the fairway, leaving himself an easy approach over the open neck of the bottle to the green. It might be well for U"Qilolffl' troubled with poor driying to give attention to the methods used by Jones. The average player, keen for great distances, is usually his worst enemy. Unlike Jones and numerous other stars, he over- swings in his effort to sock the ball. That throws him all out of kiiter. Long drives are not the result of the speed or distance one takes his club back. You can hit them 250 vards and accurately if you come back slowly so that your club is not beyond a lne parallel with the ground at the top. That's the point fo accent. The rest is a_matter of starting the club down slowly, hit- ting from the inside out and proper pivoting and timing. None of these fundamentals is possible if you overswing. ‘N 1227 R Street N.W.

Basket ball Is a natural sort of game to play, judging by this. That's true, for this very principle is used by leading fives. One of the fastest attacks of Illinois is based on this idea, an attack that starts when the rebound is taken by an Illinois guard, and one that moves from end line to basket at top speed. The play is diagrammed. Thinking cur readers would like to see a play in all 1ts aspects, we have pictured the six stages of this one, the corresponding numbers on diagram and drawings explain- ing its different developments. In fig. 1 we have the guard (A) taking the vebound. Fig. 2 shows him passing to a teammate (B), Fig. 8 shows this teammate catching the pass on the dead run. Fig 4 shows him dribbling. As the drib- ble is about to be blocked, this player in turn passes across the court to player C, who broke down the court for the basket as the play started. C gets the ball from B, dribbles in and shoots a basket (Fig. 6). (Copyright. 1927.) |GENE SEEKS SHARKEY OR MALONEY AS FOE By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, March 3.—Gene Tunney has a hunch that either Jack Sharkey or Jim Maloney will be-his next’ ring opponent as the result of the elimination tournament now un- der way in New York. The heavyweight champion, arriv- ing here last night, discussed the pos- sibilitles of future ring history in- cidentally as he launched into a sclen- tific analysis of the power which he believes enabled him to whip Jack Dempsey. ‘*‘Automatic power,” he called it. He hastened to say that he didn't care who was named to fight him next Fall for the championship. absolutely no choice in the matter. 1 want to fight the man whom the pub- lic desires.” “I think Dempsey iy far superior to any of the present heavyweight title contenders,” the champion sald. “But he never can beat a man like Tunney,” Billy Gibson, Tunney's man- ager, declared. “Tunney has a circling style that a fighter of Dempsey’s type never can solve. A rushing, tearing-in man nlways was easy for Dempsey, but he is thrown off balance and guard when facing one who contin- ually circles to the left 6r right.” A year's vacation from the ring holds no fears for Tunney. He pointed out the long period of idleness between the time he fought Johnny Risko and then started training for Dempsey. It was a matter of nine months. He sald that he was better off for relaxing and getting away from boxing. Tunney said he would return East around March 19.

FOR FIGHT WITH McTIGUE However, Experts Who Were Mostly Wrong on Bout Between Maloney and Delaney Use Many “Ifs” Regarding Tonight’s Battle. By the EW YORK, March 3.—Mike Me- Tigye and Jack Sharkey mest in a 156-vound battle at Madison Square Garden tonight, in sort of a semi-final in Tex Rickard's heavyweight elimination tournament. The winner is destined to meet Jimmy Maloney for the right to face Cham- pion Gepe Tunney next September. Fight experts, who were 90 per cent wrong_in predicting the outcome of | the Maloney-Delaney battle, hedged | about tonight's bout. Although Shar- key ranked a 2-to-1 favorite in the| betting and in scallng 190 pounds | had & welght advantage of approxi- mately 20 pounds, forecasters used a flock of “ifs.” Just as Tunney convinced himself that Jack Dempsey could not defeat | him at Philadelphia end that he was | a “man of destiny,” so Sharkey has saturated himself with the cenvieilon that he is the man to strip Tunney of |. his title next Fall. Sharkey says he is certain that Mec- Tigue's best effort canmot carry him more than six rounds. Critica smiled last Fall when Mike announced he was convinced he had been all wnms in his style of fighting, that he had discovered a slumbering knockout punch in his right hand and was about to unveil it to thi wt world. He went out and K. 0.'d King Salomon, Hilly Vidabeck, Soldier King and, finally, Paul Berlenbach in r rounds. He is just as certain that to the record will be added the name of Sharkey in six rounds. Sharkey has a habit of throwing his body half around when he misses & left hook. That habit, the experts say. will lay him liable to the full force of McTigue's short right to the chin, the blow that messed up Berlenbach and caused the downfall of all of Mike's recent opponents.
