SP ORTS." VENTNG STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1927. SPORTS.L " Peltzer Patient Man as Well as Runner : Player Stock Owners Before Leagues STAR BRAVES COLD AS CAMERAS CLICK Swede Interpreter Talks, as the German Doctor Has Nothing to Say. TTO PELTZER, doctor of phi- Josophy and clearly entitled to a doctorate in athletics should such a_degree be given, un- doubtedly is a genial chap, as well as one of the great middle-dis- tance trackmen of the world. But knowing this28-vear-old German as he perhaps should he known is rather difficult unless one is able to converse in German. Unfortunatel Georgetown U could competently assis ) speaking newspaper reporters in in- | terviewing the young doctor of phi-| losophy, and it was impossible to pro-| cure an intimate story of the who is a profound student as well as a remarkable athiete. However, the | picture men certainly proved that Dr. | Peltzer has one great virtue, patience. The air was anything but mild terday afternoon on the field just be- | Jow the main university building and bordering the Potomac. where one wholly unprotected from the b breeze sweeping through the v gorge from the northwest, vet the doc- tor bravely withstood this discomfort ccommodate nearly a score of phers who were ger to get ws of him. Posing in rather scanty attire on the wind-swept board track at the| Hilltop surely was something not so | pleasant yeste vet Dr. Peltzer | graciously did so, and did so for more than half an hour. He crouched as a starter, showed his trotting form, swung into full stride at various times and even did some hurdling, a stunt it is believed he employs as part of his training, for the benefit of the still cameramen and the movie operators. It was a thorough test of one’s pa- tience and Dr. Peltzer withstood the test manfully. Never Bothered the Doctor But getting a real story out of him without a good interpreter was too much te accomplish. The youns man who endeavored to assist the| mere English-speaking reporters did his best, but he is a Swede who finds the English language somewhat difficult to employ and apparently his knowledge of German none too extensive in a speaking way. At Jeast that's how it seemed to those endeavoring to get some intimate de- | tails of the doctor’s athletic life. “He looks pretty frail to be such a strong runner, doesn’t he?” inquired an avid newsgatherer. “Oh, yes,” said the interpreter, with- out saying a word to the doctor. “Even though he is 6 feet 1 inch tail, he weighs but 165 pounds.” So that proved he is no stalwart, the mere English-speaking reporter assumed. “When did he start running?” was another reporter's query. “About five years ago.” said the interpreter, with- out troubling to say anything to the Goctor. “And did he ever attempt anything other than the middle dis- tances?” queried a third newshound. “Oh, yes,” said the interpreter, again without speaking to the doctor. “He was a spcinter at the start, but did not do =o well.” Then came the big question, “And Just what are his particular training methods?" “Ah! That's a deep secret,” replied the interpreter. But he had not asked the doctor anything about this before giving the answer. No Stylist as Rumner. However, it might be said that the doctor, who was a guest of George- town ~ University _yesterday, l{ no stylist as a runner. He simply “legs jt"—and how—when he gets on a track, as do all the other runners of the European continent who have strutted their stuff before the Ameri- can public. According to John O'Reilly, track coach at Georgetown and one of the greatest developers of runners in this country, this lack of style was to be expected. It appears that only the Americans and English are keen for development of form in trackwork. “But in one way he is similar to the American runners from what I have heard,” added O'Reilly. “He always has something in reserve for a finish in his races. He ends with a burst of speec instead of plugsing all the Way, as do the other great European ronners who have visited this coun- no one at | In addition to being a runner of pote and a holder of three world championships at middle distances, the doctor is pretty much of a scholar. He holds_degrees from universities in Jena, Berlin and Munich, and is an ardent student of economics and educational methods. It is to study the latter that he is visiting this country and, after touring, through the States, he will take a look at conditions in Australia before return- ing to Germany. While engaged in this business, though, the doctor will not overlook pis running. He will seize every op- rtunity to keep his legs in trim, and his 9-foot stride is apt to be measured over many tracks, although not in competition, before he leaves this country. For Germany s priming the doctor for the Olympic games to be held at Amsterdam next year, and Germany is as thor- ough in the priming of its athletes as it is in everything else. GRIGSBY, 6. U.

After the banquet, which is both a celebration of Tunney’s victory over Jack Demps in the punt” battle and a Christmas cha fair, Tunney is expected to talk busi- ness with Promoter Jim Mullen about another defense of his heavyweight title in Chicago next Summer. Mullen is endeavoring to build up an opponent for the champion who could draw a gate worthy of a heavy- weight title, and Tunney is trying to find some way to box oftener than the once-a-year limit of Tex Rickard's pro- goam.

Tom Vardon, brother of the bet- ter known Harry, teaches a most important point to beginners that many veterans overlook in playing golf. Balance leads to timing and timing leads to correct stroking. To get results in shot making it is quite necessary to understand balance. Vardon's point is how to stand when you take your stance. George Duncan has given us the idea that good golf is played with the soles of the feet. That covers a great deal of territory in many cases, one being Walter IHagen': Just how should one stand to maintain balance? Some get the weight too far back. Oth noting Jones and Cooper finishing their wood shots on their toes, put the weight too far forward. “Be natural,” says Vardon. ‘“Balance the weight evenly on both feet, on balls and heels alike.” After all, that is the sane solution. When you can learn to hit with the wal- lop Bobby Jones employs the sheer power of your swing will pull you up and forward on your toes. You can't well do so otherwise. The easier way is the natural way in golf. Thus, when one pivots for the shot he swings his weight somewhat to the right. At least the right side carries both arms. Consequently, to handle this weight naturally and easily, the right leg carries this weight. It is firmly planted, but not quite straight, as that would tend to lock the knee joint and hip and lead to awkwardness. And to carry it naturally the left leg gives and merely acts as a balancer. Note Hagen at the top of his swing. Only the big toe of the ht foot makes contact with the ground. At the finish the reverse hap- pens. Here the weight must be on the left leg, for both arms and body have come around. This leg is braced as was the right at the top. And to maintain balance the right foot's contact is again with the big toe only, as the sketch of MacSmith clearly shows. When does the weight transfer? That is a golf problem we will take up tomorrow. PRO COURT FIGURES. EASTERN SECTION. Ww. L. Rochester 1 New York . Philadelph Washivgton ... WESTERN SECTION. w.

When Fights The Famous§ TheKid Kid Lavigne’s : s Memoirs of Cron & a Savage Beaten Ring BY GEORGE (KID) LAVIGNE, Former lightweight champion of the world. whos: v victoriea included two over Joe Walcott one over England's famous champion, Dick Burge. (As told to E. P. Rucker.) N my article yesterday I wrote of the savage beginning of my fight with Jos Walcott, the welter- weight champion, on December 2, 1895, at Maspeth, Long Island. The newspapers gave the first six rounds to him. Some said he landed five blows to my one and I think that wasn't far wrong. I blocked and backed and slid around the ring as that sawed-off black fellow slammed me with wal- lops that almost stood me on my head. During these early rounds the bet- ting was 5 to 1 1 wouldn't last 10 rounds. Walcott batted me enough to kill most of the lightweights of to- day. There were times when I felt as it a train had hit me. John L. Sullivan, who had become one of my best friends, sat near my corner and during the first part of the fight he tried to have the battle stopped. But don't forget I was doing some hitting myself. ;And in those days 1 could soc! Time after time when Walcott tore at me I met him with solid jolts over the heart or the kid- neys ~or the stomach and those smashes did him no good. - Like Bulldog and Kitten. As the battle progressed I grew stronger, as was my_ way in that period of my career. Walcott, in his mad desire to destroy me, shook me in the clinches like a bulldog shaking a kitten and struggled fiercely to free his arms, which I had locked. 5 T quote from a news report in my scrap book: “Every part of Lavigne's face d body was marked. Kven thos who bet on Walcott had a feeling of sorrow for Lavigne and there was hardly a ripple of applause, for the crowd was spellbou by Lavigne's wonderful gameness. When he retired to his corner at the end of the seventh round he looked like a beaten man. His face was puffed. His left ear was bleeding and seemed to be hanging on a shred.” _Early in the fight one of Walcott's pile-driver jolts had injured my left e As he kept banging at it, the ear swelled up like a funny-shaped tomato. Finally a right swing e: ploded the “tomato,” and the blood that flowed from it made me a gory sight. But despite my awful appearance I went to my corner at the close of the seventh round confident I was going to win. My seemingly unlimited strength and speed stood by me. Even then I felt as if I could knock down an_elephant. The eighth round marked a turn in the tide. To the amazement of the crowd and of Walcott, 1 took the of- fensive. I blocked several vicious swings and then suddenly sent the squatty demon reeling to the ropes with a smashing right over the heart. ‘That punch slowed him. In the clinch that followed I noted signs of weaken- ing on Walcott's part. 1 gave his kidneys a_mereiless pounding. onal | e R and Johnny Mos- | By the Associated Press, HICAGO, Decem 10— Delaney’s Chic ut last night before $40,000 worth of Coliseum customers was o knockout, t but thor ou Paul Berlenbach’s come-back aspirations went winging away in the sixth round, when the referee stepped between the two former light-heavy- cight champions and stopped the ht.
