Schmeling Has Task to Keep Fit for Uzcudun : Oldest Sandlot Nine Disbanded Tales of a Wayside Tee BY GRANTLAND RIC One of the most interesting phases of golf is the large number of devices employed to correct errors or faults. Many of these carry GERMAN IS READY FOR BATTLE NOW Going Slow in Training, and| Few Days of Complete Rest Is Needed. BY FAIRPLAY. EW_ YORK, June 12—Max Schmeling has two weeks to go before he will step into the ring for his 15-round battle with Paulino Uzcudun. This means that Max has something like 11 working days in front of him. This would not mean so much but for the fact that Schmeling is down to weight | and looks fit to step into the ring to- morrow evening. Schmeling’s trainer is going slow with is charge, and would like to give Max a rest for several days before resuming , work. He cannot very well do this to & prominent fighter. One in Schmeling's position just now has to work out daily and give the visiting sports writers and visitors an opportunity to look him over. ‘Working out, whether a fighter needs to or not, is one of the drawbacks at- tached to being a celebrity. To be in the public eye one must do many things he does not care to do, and unless a restraining hand is kept on the fighter the consemuence is a stale, beaten-out gugfllst before he enters the ring. There iave been instances where a fighter has left his fight in the gymnasium, and ' Billy McCarney, major domo of Schmel- m’.s camp, is on the lookout to see that this does not happen to the valuable German bric-a-brac. Holding Max in leash probably ac- counts for the poor quality of the fight- | er's sparring partners. Herman | George Neron and Ray Neuman 80 and 5o, and many inquiries are made a8 to why men of the ru!hlnl b\u“nl | type of Paulino are not e reason for this is that schmellnl hl.s seen the Basque in action in Europe and in this country, and has evolved a ‘way to meet the "’"3:"' Spaniard. He does not need them in his daily ‘workouts, and while competent boxing men may dispute this, one cannot deny | that sparring partners who would put the German to a tough grind each day would hurt Schmeling’s present condi- tion irreparably. Remember, Schmel- ing is ready to step into the ring this minute. There is no sense in making him work any harder than conditions require if he expects to go 15 rounds‘ at a hard pace.

The instructor at first sug- | 1 gested the correct swing that if followed would bring about a per- manent cure. But as ghe player wanted swifter results, the teacher then suggested that he should hit the ball with the heel of the driver and brassie—to have that !eelmg of hitting with the heel. A golf ball struck off the toe of eclub is ulullly hooked. One struck ofl the heel usually sliced. By at- tempting to mn; the heel of the elub into the ball the player soon corrected most of the hooking fault. He at least was no longer s ing the club in a | circle with the right hand entirely in | control. To hit with the heel Lhere‘ must be_much more use of the left hand. The two hands should hit to- gether with the same force, but most golfers refuse to give the left hand and | the left arm their chance to work. The | idea of attempting to hit with the heel, thinking along these lines, will bring the left hand and left arm into more | play, and will also have a tendency to reduce or eliminate any hooking fit. TWO GRIPS RANK AS MOST POPULAR BY SOL METZGER. Grips vary greatly among star golfers, especially for the drive and, putt. The important polm. about; it is to know its purpose. ‘Then one can properly hold the club. Good golf is played with any of the three 41 = Ml — mpa—averhpplnl. interlocking and Al aflvml is the ap 1icltlnn of three distinct forces applied a tact—the centrifugal lw\ng mm the left shoulder, the weight and the roll of one’s wrists—the latter be- comes of importance. The wrist roll adds to the acceleration of the clubhead at contact and is held back to apply at that moment, The right forearm does this accelerating or rolling of the wrists. 8o, if the wrists are to do their part the right must eventually get into the swing. As both wrists get into this final punch they must work in unison, that is, ewing in the same ll!l! else distance, the object, lacking. Two ways of holding the club are commonly followed. One, as sketched, brings the left slightly over the shaft with two knuckles in view and the right slightly under.

Fast as a flash and looks Comfort- able too—with deep, thick-cushion- ed seats; extra long, flexible springs; hy- the part. ‘There is another mental suggestion offered by both Vardon and J. H. Tay- lor. Both have suggested that the player pick out a spot directly in front of the ball for iron play and hit through that spot. If this advice is followed the club head isn't checked so quickly and there is a feeling of hitting ‘through” the ball, and not so much hitting “at” the ball. As a rule the power of the golf swing is applied much too soon—too far ahead of the impact. In place of swinging the club at i creasing speed, the effort is usually a lunge or a wallop, and most of the force has been used up before the club head ever gets to its target, Picking out a spot needed delay in hitting—what is called “walting on the blow.” What tion or cure is there for slicing? Slicing is nearly always caused | 52 by faulty pivoting or turning where the. lett side is checked or stopped too quickly. If the body is only partially turned on the back swing. or insuf- ficiently turned, when the down swing starts the body is then quite nltul’llly too far ahead of the hands, and the hands in turn are too far ahead of the clubhead. Slicing is one of the natu- ral products of ftnxlfm. of lwrpinl the body before the wel flow on to the right foof u S ith e lef shnulder and left hip'correctly pivoted. Duncan calls this fault “leav- lnl e left shoulder behind.” Let it take the full and unhampered trip. Jock Hutchison says that the big dif- ference between good golfers and roc ifers is that the good golfers eefi ack of the ball as they s true. And to keep back of “the ball they must first get back of the ball, which simply means that they must let the weight get back of the ball on the right foot. If the weight is for- ward on the left leg at the top of the swing there is no possible chance to get back of the ball or to be there as the down swing aum What about missing those three and four foot putts? best Yemember when this rash bresks e et a more comfortable stance and to fiehten the grip.
