SPORTS. TH EVENIN G STAR, WASHI Echmeling Suffering Fro ART SUGGESTED TO GIVE - | PAULINO AN EVEN BREAK Gallery of Mental Pictures, Not Costly Classics, Might Be a Big Help to Bounding Basque BY WALTER TRUMBULL. EW YORK, June 17.—It has been ascertained suddenly that Max Schmeling is an ardent devotee of literature. I don’t know just who discovered this enthralling fact, but it sounds like either Walter St. Denis or Francis Albertanti, literary and scientific wonder workers for New York’s Madison Square Garden. Some of the experiments these gentlemen have successfully per- | formed on caulifiowers far surpass anything that Luther Burbank !t accomplished with fruit and flowers. At any rate, now that a palpitating world is aware that Schmel- Ing reads Gothe, Heine, Freytag, Einstein, Ludwig, Nietzche, Schopen- hauer and the large print in the tabloids, it seems as if something | should be done about Paulina Uzcudun. | A suggestion which comes to mind is pictures. German, art for the Basque. This would give the two visiting pugil- ists a 50-50 break. If Herr Schmeling has a book, why shouldn’t Senor Uzcudun have a Rembrandt, and there are those in the boxing industry who would be glad to contribute the frame. But I really do not mean to suggest that little Paul should decorate his camp at Hoosick Falls with examples of the work of Goya or Velasquez. Still | less might it be fitting if he collected examples of some of the Spanish: | Literature for the | Bushy Graham and thereby forfeited | mission has_ agreed to recognize moderns. I do not think that Hoosick Falls #would consider some of the models warmly enough dressed for the climate Nor is it suggested that Paulino collect photographs. The idea is not along those lines, and alo has the virtue of being much less costly. Paulino should collect mental pictures, to be applied to the leather-pushing game. In each in- gnne the motive is to teach a man to Mental Pieture Gallery. -Let Paulino, for example, get a men- [ picture of the fist doing its part. Let him cease to worry over the action of the arms and wrists, for their func- tion is only to speed up the fist. Too often they are used, especially the wrists and elbows, without relation to the fist At all. Let Paulino get the mental pic- ture of the fist as an ax head cutting own a German oak. If he can drape is training camp with such mental plc- tures, even should they be sketched on dvory or bone, I feel sure that he would more than offset any literary advan- tage Schmeling might possess. Admittedly, this idea came from golf, &nd golfers will instantly get the idea. A golfer is always getting a mental pic- ture of the club head as a hammer driving a nail or a weight attached to the end of a string. He knows that if he keeps this picture clearly in mind, mot thinking too much about the arms and wrists and keeping his head down 21 the weight properly distributed. ould hit the ball a whale of a wallop. | Yes, he certainly realizes that the | club head should be the center of the | picture, the object which catches the mental eye, the physical eye being on | | the ball, although around the edges of | the mental picture, blended into the | background, are such things as stance, | grip and follow through. Now It's a Movie, Having painted the picture of the | club head brightly in mind, it is satis- | fying to swing a wooden club with | might and confidence and hear the sweet sound as the club head socks the | | sphere. The mental picture then be- | | comes a movie, flashing 250 yards down | the fairway. | Having gone to such trouble to secure | the picture, it is a great and joyful | |feeling when that ball starts hurTiedly | from hither to yon. The only thing the | | average golfer can't understand is why | the mental picture should flash to the | fairway, when there never is any action | there. “"The ball may travel 250 yards | toward a hole 350 yards away, but after the first 200 yards of that it almost invariably lands in the rough, which makes the last 100 yards the hardest. Still, that would not affect the value |of the idea to Paulino. If a mental | | picture enabled him to sock Schmeling |for a couple of hundred yards, he wouldn't care whether Max lit in the| | tairway or not.

EW YORK, June 17.—This week T the principal issues along the Eastern fronts are concerned with whether Harvard's varsity crew can stop Yale in their historic race on the Thames, and Whether the world champion Yankees, their 1928 situation exactly reversed, can stop the fast-flying Athletics in the {American League base ball race. The arguments in both cases will be et forth pext Friday, in the case of the Yankees #nd Athletics, however, the de- bate continues through Saturday and | Sunday, with five games crammed into ghree days and the ultimate fate of the [pennant perhaps hinging upon them. Next week, if the experts are not dered groggy in the meantime, they n take up such additional issues as hether Columbia or Cornell can halt ifornia’s championship crew at ughkeepsie; whether Max Schmeling stop Paulino Uzcudun, or vice versa, and what chance the golfing field has inst Bobby Jones, Horton Smith, lter Hagen or Johnny Farrell in the tional open at Winged Foot.

He turned two Olympic champions out at Michigan—Archie Hahn and Ralph Craig. Wefers was discovered by Moakley up | round Boston and deveioped by the te Mike Murphy, long the most gamous of American track and field [poaches. “I recall sending Wefers to Murphy Yor a trial, preparatory to an interna- tional meet with the British in 1893 said Moakley. “A few days afterward J heard from Murphy. In effect he said: ‘Wefers has possibilities but is green.

Yet the figures indicate Stanford's great strength the field events would have counter-balanced the seoring of such great track perform- ers.as Alvin Kraenziein, a team in himself, and J. W. B. Tewksbury, the old Penn sprint star. In: 1899 Kraenziein won the high hurdles in 153 but this year Ross eight won in the last mile after one of Yale oarsmen ‘“caught a crab.” On early season records Yale's posi- tion as favorite again is well fortified, but when these ancient rivals get to- gether past performances usually can be tossed overboard.

Paulino is trained, doctored, fed and entertained by Spaniards. Arthus, Uzcudun's old associate from his rookle fighting days, is the trainer. Dr. Angel L.

And they all double in something or another to provide & well organized force. Arthus attends to the shopping. Dr. Sesma sells tickets to the paying guests attending the daily workou! Garay, besides running the kitchen, supervises the evening entertainment hour. He sings and, like the others, plays a mean guitar. Echeverria helps in the kitchen, walts table, serves as valet and when the crush at the gate gets too heavy for the doctor, sells pasteboards at the gate. ‘The cooking staff has some leisure during week days. Paulino dines only twice daily. But it isn't his eating as much as it is his generos- ity that sometimes makes work for the culinary crew. Saturdays and Sundays, when the loyal Spaniards from as far distant as New York flock to camp, dozens are waved into the grove back of the house for cof- fee and sandwiches. The battling Basque is about the busiest man in camp. He doesn't work. He just moves about, in and out of the house, to kiss the Basque babies, greet the pretty girls from Hoosick and vicinity and decline the inevitable invitations to play tennis and golf with the fair ones. Umsi welcomes all and sends them away smiling. Serving as one of the major figures in boxing is not at all annoying to him and he snubs no one. WEEK SPORTS By the Associated Press. Tennis.

And this happens to be a ranking that the Gettysburg Guide always deserved. Goining back no more than 30-years, the three greatest left- | handers of base ball were probably Rube Waddell, Eddie Plank and Pennock. Babe Ruth might have worked himself into this group if he had not switched from pitching to home-run hitting. The Babe, I believe, had the highest five-year average of any left-hander. But the careers of Waddell, Plank and Pennock covered a much more extended period on the firing line. There have been other great left-handers since 1900, including Doc White, Nick Altrock, Vean Gregg and a few more. But Waddell, Plank and Pennock stand at the top, with the eccentric Rube the greatest of them all. Even after Connie Mack had turned him adrift near the end of his career, he had enough stuff left, pitching for the Browns, to fan 17 Athletic batters in | one of his closing games. ‘Waddell had more speed than either Plank or Pennock, and a deeper, more baffling curve. There were days when it looked as if he could start one for the batter’s shoulders and have the catcher digging the ball from the dirt back of the plate. - Plank and Pennock were always smart pitchers, with fine control. The Rube was no intellectual giant, but for all that he was smart enough in the box. The Best Catcher. AGREE with the verdict,” writes H. B, “that Mickey Cochrane of the Athletics, is the best all-round catcher since Buck Ewing—possibly the great- est of all time, if he holds his present pace. I always though Bresyahan and Kling were two wonders, Kling especially, but I'd rather have Cochlane than either. He is just as good a catcher as Kling was in the old days of Cub supremacy, and a better hitter. Cochrane has been a big factor in the Athletics' success so far this season. He is as dangerous as any man in the league at bat, and back of the bat he is a smart, hustling type that means a lot to & ball club. If he ean keep going he has a great chance to be ranked as the greatest catcher of all time, when you add his hitting to his defensive play. All the great ones of base ball haven't died or retired. Cochrane can hold his place with any catcher in the game. And in other positions it might be ‘well to keep an eye on two such youngsters as Mel Ott and Jimmy Foxx. w Today's Golf Dope. CCORDING to Walter Hagen, Horton Smith has the best straight left arm he has seen in golf. “And the reason I think it is the best” says Hagen, “is due to the fact that he can keep his left elbow perfectly straight on the back swing without any strain or effort. He seemed to be double-jointed or loose-jointed in the elbow, and this means a straight left arm without any strain or torsion. If I ever held my left arm as straight as Horton Smith does I would have no leverage left. My left arm would be as stiff as a piece of steel.” It has been pointed out that Harry Vardon always had a slight bend in his left elbow. This is true. Vardon was another who could not get a straight left arm without too much arm stiffening. The straight left, or at Jeast the almost straight left, means better conrol. There is a hinge in the left shoulder, and another hinge in the left wrist. With a middle hinge at the elbow, it is almost impossible to keep control in check. Two hinges are hard enough to handle, without inserting a third. Bobby Jones has a remarkably straight left. There seems to be almost no bend, aithough there is a slight one, just enough to leave him the amount of arm elasticity he needs to kill off too much tension. A correct body turn makes the straight left easier and simpler. But this doesn't mean turning the left arm into a steel ramrod. NAISHAPUR IS INJURED; MAY BE IDLE FOR YEAR CHICAGO, June 17 (#).—Naishapur, brilliant 3-year-old colt belonging to Chaffee Earl, was injured in the Ameri- can Derby at Washi m_ Park Sa urday and may be out for the Summer.

GEORGE CHADWICK. BY EW YORK, June 17.—Base ha'vl‘ pltchers are up against | culiar situation in their re- ation to the bleacher fans. Fans judge a pitcher aimost entirely by the number of victories he has pitched. But the true test of a moundsman’s worth is his record for runs_actually ecarncd, irrespective of whether or not the game was won by | his team. For some years there has | been a notion that any pitcher who | could win 30 games in a seascn would | be paramount. Well, maybe he would | be. But unfortunately for this craving | of the fans and experts, that kind of | ball heaver is not built any more. In| any case there is little satisfaction in| it sometimes. Mathewson Won 37, The _immortal Christy Mathewson won 37 games in a season and his| team did not even win a pennant for | him. That was in 1908—a year long | and bitterly remembered by the New | York Giants. They were eased out | of the chmpionship that year on a technical protest. Who does not re- | member the controversy? Did Merkle | touch second? Who cares! | This year two pitchers have a start | that might end in their winning 30 | games. One is Burleigh Grimes of | Pittsburgh and the other George Uhle | of Detroit. 1t is unlikely, however, | that either will come through with | such a record. Nowadays base ball| managers use too many pitchers and | nurse along their good men too care- fully to give opportunity for spectacular individual accomplishments. | However, Grimes is being called the greatest pitcher of hte year. He was, | in fact, not very far from being greatest | | pitcher last year. | Hoyt Won't Be Crowded. | Lefty Grove of the Athletics is not likely to win 30 games this year. He| probably won't get the opportunity to | | | do_so. It might be, however, that Connie | Mack, if hard pressed toward the end of the season, will put him into many games and thus give him a chance. ‘Waite Hoyt of the Yankees will not be crowded by his manager, Miller Huggins. The Yankees are not blessed with a surplus of pitchers and each man will have to be used with diserimi- nating care. A former manager of a National League team says there is not a major league pitcher today who has endur- ance and skill enough to win 30 games. “Base ball is reaping what it has sown,” was his comment. “It is train- ing and bringing up four-inning pitchers.” CHEVY—CHASE LINKSMEN DEFEATED AT ELKRIDGE Golfers of the Elkridge Hunt Club of in a match played at Elkridge.
