That Denver track is as hard as a board; the Stagg Field track was dry, the surface smooth, but slippery. If George _Simpson could do 94-10 at Stagg Field, it is believed he can do one-tenth perhaps one-fifth of a sec- ond better on that mile ‘high track. The Ohioan’s performance at Stagg Field indicates that the end of record breeking in the sprints is not yet. And it should be noted that at Chicago, Bracey, off to a bad start, cut Simpson's lead to a narrow foot at the finish and was coming on every stride. Tolan was not at top form in that race and Wykoff, who may_startle the world in the hundred at Denver; Wildermuth, | Quinn, Bowman and others were not in the'N. C. A. A. century event. The effects of the rare air at Denver, the quick recuperation of athletes pos- sible in that climate, the lack of normal resistance may result in spectacular feats all along the line. Cblumbia Event Proves Caliber Of Local Golfers Is Improving BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. LTHOUGH scoring among the top-notchers of the game re- mains very much the same. the general level of golf Washington has risen very materially in the past six or seven years. Taking the Columbia tournament alone as an example and discounting entirely the first flight players (al- though they are truly indicative of the whole trend) it will be noted that sev- eral 85s were drawn out of the fifth and last flight at Columbia. In other words 80 men out of the entry list of 340 shot 80 or better in the qualifying round. Many of them were from out- side of Washington, but the bulk of the entrants came from Capital clubs. At the Washington tournament, where there were the same number of qualifiers—80—several scores of 89 were drawn out cf the last flight, al- though ground conditions during the Washington tourney were not as favor- mble for scoring as they were at Co- lumbia last week. At Indian Spring the scores were higher and gut cards of 88 barely made the last flight. Tt has not been so many years ago that scores of 84 and 85 played off for place in the first fiight at Columbia, which is taken as indicative of the | general trend because it is the most popular_tournament about Washington | judged by he size of the entry list. In | have given the course a reputation as a difficult one. Watts Gunn, formerly of Atlanta, but now of Pittsburgh, who took thy George W.

Recent readers of these articles will agree that methods for driving differ among the stars. Let us now see if there is not a composite pic-* ture of this stroke, one that clears yesterday, with net cards of 68. Col. Coleman had 84—16—68, while Rids- | dale had 78—10—68. W. C. Cranec was about | i third place with 83—14—69, while the vacated post to Ralph Duplin of E with 19 O. Wagenhorst shot 87, th a net | handicap won fourth place wi | card of 70. A good field fomprising 48 woman players started today over the Columbia Country Club course in the qualifying round of the woman's District cham- pionship for the title now held by Mrs. | Dorothy White Nicholson. The first | pair left the tee at 9:30 followed at five-minute intervals by the remainder ‘of the field, with the last pair sched- uled to be under way at 11:30. Among the entrants favored to do well are Mrs. L. O. Cameron, who set a course record of 78 for the Chevy Chase layout last week; Mrs. Betty P. Meckley of Beaver Dam, Mrs. J. Mar- | vin Haynes, former holder of the title, who was runner-up for the champion- ship last year. The woman golfers are competing in the first fignt for the trophy put up diring the Winter by Herbert T. Shannon, president of the Cdlumbia Country Club. Several flights of eight will be qualified in addition to the championship fiight. W. L. Pendergast was the winner in the medal play handicap in class A at Bannockburn yesterday, scoring 76—7 those days of six or seven years back, scores above 90 qualified in the last flight. But that day apparently has | passed. The game has moved on at | » faster pace than the old guard can | negotiate. Probabiy the scoring spree in which | Columbia found itself was caused as much as any other factor by the pre- | ponderance in the event of youngsters, who have not all played in the other tournaments. In the first flight there were such lads as C. D. Evans, C. W. Cole, H. D. Nicholson, Tommy Webb and several others who scored 77_and better, but | who had not figured extensively in other tournaments during the season. Any guess as to the relative scoring of the first flight of today and a decade | back would probably reveal that the winner plays much the same game he played 10 years ago. when winning golf in the first flight about Washington meant 77 or 78. These days it means 73 or 74 to keep going in a major golf tournament. Roughly, we would estimate the scoring quality of the game about Washington_has improved four or five strokes in the past decade. The game 1s much faster than it was in the days when Lee L. Harban, Allan Lard and | Sam Dalzell were among the top liners | about Washington. They won with 77s and 78s.

As far as form in tennis goes, Ma Bundy is all wrong. She holds her racquet too far up the handle, for one thing, and her footwork isn't all that it should be, but her esprit de corps, fighting spirit and will to win, or whatever you want to call it, more than make up for her lack of polish in stroke-making.

Last year, in the national wom- en's championship at Forest Hills Mrs. Wightman beat, Mrs. Bundy b crafty chop strokes and lobs, a style of play not a bit to Ma Bundy’s lik- ing.

T begins to look as though Senor Paulino Uzcudun, the compara- tive Dumbell of the Basque, would not have much of a chance‘ .against Herr Max Schmeling, the erudite Prussian. The press; agent stationed at Mr. Bill Dwyer’s horse incubator at Lakewood, | where Schmeling is training, sends out the ominous warning that | Herr Schmeling reads books in and out of training. Since the success of Gene Tunney, who read a lot of books while preparing himself for the post of heavyweight champion, literature ‘seems to have become an essential to young men aspiring to high places in the manly art of modified murder. Herr Schmeling’s press | agent does not generalize. He gives a list. “Among the favorite authors of Herr Schmeling are George Bernard Shaw, Hauptmann, | Suderman, Victor Hugo, Jack London and Werner Scheff. There are others, of course. Otherwise Gene Tunney would be able to spot Schmeling several dozen volumes in the game of authors, which. promises to become the favorite diversion of the boys con- nected with the caulifiower industry. It might seem a bit remark- | able, but the boys are not low-rating Herr Schmeling because it has | been revealed that he is addicted to reading.

Playing safe, the contender was on with his third shot on that long hole, and about 30 feet from the pin. Hagen was 15 feet away, above the hole, with his second shot. Diegel sank his putt from 30 feet, and when it dropped he felt that vic- tory was as good as his. The green was lightning fast, and Walter had a curling, side hill putt. Under the cir- cumstances it looked impossible, but nothing is impossible to Hagen. He dropped that enormously difficult putt and went on to beat Diegel on extra holes and eventually to win the title from Wild Bill Mehlhorn. It was & shot in a million, and one I'll never forget. It might be mentioned that Leo had his revenge this last year when he beat Hagen and won the P. G. A. cham- pionship for the first time in his career. It was the first tim-, too, that Hagen had failed to win it in five years. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- er Alliance.) RUNS MARATHON TO SET .CLEAN LIVING EXAMPLE By the Assoclated Press. Why, many an observer has wondered, do men like to run in marathon races? Here is ohe answer: Nicholas A. Schultz of Mystic, Conn., was running well in marathons before the war. Battered by overseas service in the war, he dropped out of competi- tion for 10 years. This year he began training and entered the American Marathon to Boston, the National A. A U._championship event. Why? Because, Schultz explains, he has a family of youngsters and he wants to BY BOBBY CRUICKSHANK. Bobby Cruickshank, Scotch-born, 1s an outstanding golfer in American competition. His play-off with Bobby Jones for the national open title at Inwood was one of golf’s most dra- matic situations. His list of tourna- ment victories runs into the scores. Illness checked his victory streak last year, but he resumed his beau- tiful play at the start of the current campaign. N putting, the right hand is in con- trol, but it should not grip the shaft too tightly. I believe in bringing back the clubhead without turning | the biade either way and going | through with the face open toward the | hole. You can't pick out any one man as | the greatest putter in the game. There | are too many good ones. Bobby Jones, | Walter _Hagen, Macdonald Smith, Johnny Farrell 'and George Voigt are as good as any. Voigl's putting has | been somewhat overlooked in the praise | of his iron play and his generally fine accuracy from tee to green. But he is remarkably good in sinking putts day after day. Farrell gets down as many long putts as any one, I guess. He tells me that he studied Walter J. Travis' method ‘when he was caddying for that master. Travis, you know, never tried just to t near the cup. He was always aim- lfg to sink his ball, no matter how far away he happened to be, and it was amazing how many dropped. That is a theory I thoroughly subscribe to. “Never up, never in.” It's better to be over than short, for short putts never have a chance. I think the greatest putt I ever saw was made by Walter Hagen on the thirty-fifth hole of his match with Leo “in_the professional champion- o 1927, Leo was 2 Up and two to play. It seemed almbst certain that Hagen, who had won three consecutive professional titles, was due for his first defeat in years, Al needed was & half show them what clean living and ath- letics will do for a man at his age. And then there is Benny Hern, tele- graph messenger, who finished twenty- demonstrate first last year and who will again this year that he knows hustle, - how to nates but betting. It has come to be accepted that prizefighter who does not do a cer- tain amount of more or less serious reading is shirking his training work. Herr Schmeling’s press agent has it that the profound Prussian is burn- ing plenty of the midnight electric juice. Reports from the Uzundun camp at the old homestead of Wil- liam F. Carey have it that Senor Uzundun is dancing La Jota and other measures, tripping the light and quite fantastic when his mind should be on better things. It may be just a coincidence that one | of the favoriie authors of Herr Schmel- ing also happens to be the favorite author of Mr. Tunney, the same being Mr, George Bernard Shaw. This fact also may influence the betting to such | an extent that when the men enter the | ring at the Yankee Stadium on June 27 | the German may a pronounced favorite. Mr. Dempsey's friends again are insisting that he will stage a come- back in the event that Schmeling disposes of the boisterous Basque. This seems a bit unwise. It is hard to see how Mr. Dempsey ever would be able to catch up in his reading to be in shape to meet such a formid- able opponent as Schmeling threat- ens to be. If he has any intention of meeting this super-student of the caulifiower industry he ought to be working out with” Dr. Eliot's five- foot shelf at the current writing in- stead of the lighter literature he has been using for training purposes. If the worst should come to the worst and Schmeling should become heavyweight champion of the world, which is not so unlikely, there would be a demand for the return of Tunney to win back the title for the United States. It might be that Tunney would agree (o meet Herr Schmeling in a 20-foot library, but nowhere else. Labor Troubles Ahead. Some of the boys who always look ahead for trouble are predicting labor difficulties in organized base ball for 1930. The tip seems to be out that the magnates, getting their heads together with a tremendous noise, as of spheroids of ivory clicking together in thuu%l:{l, I 1 i 1 1 dividends in the future, though this consummation might be reached at the expense of the down-trodden base ball laborer. It will be quite all right if they can get away with it. But, provided Mr. Ruth recovers his ordinary robust health and is able to get in and swing them every day, it is going to be quite a delicate situation when Col. Jacob Ruppert asks him to take a decided cut in salar It will be especially delicate because gossip has it that the Babe was just thinking of asking to be raised from $70,000 a year to $100,000 on the ground that he is now permanently married and that two cannot live as cheaply as one. There are other athletes who feel in quite the same mood, what with the increased cost of living and one thing and another, and there is some mutter- ing about forming a union of the down trodden and submerged workers in what Mr. Ping Bodie used to call the “base ball orchard.” It will be terrible if; there is a general strike. | The Pioneer Holdouts. If the magnates should persist in the | notion of revising the base ball salaries downward it might start some of the players toward becoming serious hold- outs. This would rouse no little indig- nation among the tl bolshevists. Yet, if the truth were known—and it | can be told now—Mr. McGraw and Mr. | Robinson themselves were among the first holdouts known to the national | pastime. A holdout really is a player | ‘who wants what he thinks he is worth; : but somehow base ball writers have, made it appear that the act of holding | out carries with it a certain reproach. Mr. Dorsey Guy, who traveled with the old Orloles, blows the whistle on Mr. Robinson and Mr. McGraw in the matter of holding out. It seems that at the conclusion of a very suc- cessful season . McGraw, Mr. Robinson, Hughey Jennings, Willle Keeler and Joseph Kelley reached the conclusion that they should be paid $2,400 a year. Mr. Hanlon, who m the team, was of the opin- ion that $2,000, which was the top salary for base ball player of mzuny 90s, was more than ade- quate. Whereupon McGraw, Robinson, Jen- nings, Keller and Kelley announced that they would not play for less than : the sum de; ded. are determined to revise base salaries downward next season. Apparently there is no good reason for anticipating this sort of action ex- cepting that it would be verzeplznlnl to the magnates if it could be accom- lished without too much argument. S0 ar as reports indicate, all the base ball clubs made money last year. The mag- never give out exact statistics, all their investments seem to have training, but they insisted would not play in the unless they got were very firm, By the pioneer mise. 4 Tales of a Wayside Tee By GRANTLAND RIC| 1 HERE is at least one detail that every golfer who has a chance to follow the stars of the open at Winged Foot in the next fortnight should watch, and watch carefully. | This is the effective way practically every member of that field will use his hands and wrists. What they use, of course, is the hands with flexible wrists that complete the hand-hitting machinery. If you watch the average golfer, or almost any golfer whose game is in between 90 and 110, you will see how much body action he | crowds into the swing and how little hand and wrist action. But at Winged Foot in the next 10 days you will see how the best in the field use their hands to hit with the| clubhead. There is body action, but it is free-and-easy body action, and is never pronounced. Their main body action comes in getting into position to hit the ball. From that point it is the hands that whip the clubhead through, hands working with flexible wrists. “Remember,” says Jock Hutchison, “to swing the hands and arms ind lpenden! of the body—the body will fol- jow.” This is what all golfers do. Good golfers don't look as if their hands were nailed to their wrists and as if their “These fellows seem to make their hands handle 80 per cent of the swing,” remarked one enthusiast, after following Jones, Hagen, Farrell and ® few others. “I never knew before how much the hands had to do in hitting a ball.” Why shouldn’t they? The ball is struck with the head of the club, and the hands are the only part of the body that have any grip or touch or control over the club. Why shouldn't they do most of the work in so far as it comes to hitting with the club heldé If the wrists are not too tensely hel and are not locked, they will then give the hands their ce.

No one can see all the details that take place during an open champion- ship. But the careful student can get a lot of valuable information if he or fshe will pick out one or two important arms were locked to their bodies. They their hands to carry out this operation. 'OR the average golfer the body is details and is on common principles. Fortunately, most details concern the stance. After understanding these one may bear in mind only a few thoughts as he swings. e main one is to hit the ball. Your stance is taken solely with the ob- Jject in mind of being able to apply the greatest possible force along the intended line of flight at contact. Where is this force found? Visualize the golf swing. It is a THE. SWING CENTERS IN = e VELOCIAY T oF lB 16 GREATEST STANCE. 15 ERECT- 10LS AB0UT SQUARE TA-LINE centrifugal force centering in the left shoulder. The radius is a straight left arm and the shaft. Thus we find the lowest arc of this swing to be opposite the left shoui- der. Here, too, the clubhead travels at its greatest velocity. That is why Jones and most stars tee the, ball approximaely off this shoulder. They also stand erect. Crouching compels reaching and that in turn throws one off balance. Without balance no one can make a great physical effort, such as the drive demands. To hit the ball on the in- tended line of flight the face of the club must be back of the ball and at right angles to this line. Place the feet naturally as you almost straight ahead. | i \ | {DECATHLON STAR SEEN By the Associated Press.

The good golfer tries to keep the body in place, nicely balanced, in order to give his hands, wrists and arms a chance to whip the clubhead on its way .through the ball. The good golfer lets his body turn easily and naturally, in order to let the majority of the weight move from the left foot or leg to the right. His mext movement on the down swing is to get the body out of the way as quickly as he can. You can see this in the quick manner in which the left foot is dropped back to position. But from that point on the hands seem to be the main fea- tures of the swing, the hands acting In charge of the clubhead. Naturally the hands can't work if the wrists are stiff- ened or locked, as they too often are. 1t is hard to open a door on a rusty hinge. A rubber hinge would be almost as bad. But there can be flexible wrists, without going to the other extreme. matters, and then see just how these are handled by the The main trouble is that most of those llllnrgl.n( with the big crowd watch only the flight of the ball.
