SPORTS. SEEK FOREST AS MONEY NET PLAY SITE May Use Chicago Courts, Though, Long Island Plant Having Heavy Schedule—Would Prevent Quick Shift From Amateur to Professional. BY VINCENT RICHARDS, International SPECIAL meeting of the members of the Professional Lawn Tennis Association has just an open tennis championship. If the proposed amendment sent recently by the executive committee of the United States various members of the international federation is nual meeting next march, it is the hope of the o fessional association to hold the open some the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Long Island. ‘There was considerable talk at the meeting concerning the tournament schedule next year. Naturally the members of the pro- fessional body would like to see the schedule worked out whereby the professional championship would be held first, followed by the amateur championship, and then, as the feature climax to the tennis season, the open champion- ship. ‘This arrangement, of course, affords more interest from the standpoint of the press and the tennis fans in gen- éral and would leave little doubt who was the greatest tennis player in the world at the end of the season. Will Finance Pros. Another important item taken up at the meeting was the financing of the professional players who hope to com- pete in the various professional events scheduled for next Summer. After prolonged discussion, it was decided to put through a bond issue among the members of the association, 80 the professional body will- be as- sured of a reasonable catry from the foreign professionals. This was quickly ssed, which means t1at tennis lovers this country probah.y will have their first_opportunity ef seeing such stars as the Burke broth-rs, Najuch, Ramil- , Richter, Plan and Negro. It is my guess that th-se players will be a Tevelation to the Hublic in this country. hold of the professional championship : t the West Side Tennis Club next Svamer is apparently un- certain. Trs is due to the heavy schedule of cvents held at the club dur- ing August. Several members of the board fee! that the turf will not stana up under such continual play, and for that reason it may be that the profes- sional body will allow the tournament %o be played at some other club. Chicago After Tourney. I undegstand that several clubs have been bidding for the ament in and around the New York district, and that in addition the Chicago Town and Ten- nis Club would like to hold the third professional lawn tennis championship of the United States. Another question freely discussed at ing and tremendously vital to the future of the professional game is the putting of a time limit on the turn- ing of an amateur into the professional ranks. It is felt that many amateurs might be tempted to turn “pro” on the eve of a big event, which would really mean that they were playing amateur tennis for a part of season and profes- sional tennis after the tournament. For this reason the members of the execu- tive committee of the professional as- sociation felt that a time limit of six months should be written into the by- laws of the association to prevent such There seems little doubt that this was the proper move to make under the cir- cumstances, but it is my opinion that +the rule will cause plenty of backfire = ~ if open tournaments become a reality.

GRIFFITHS-SCORES OVER BIG PAOLINO Gets Decision Over Basque by Narrow Margin in Chicago Bout. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, November 30.—The standing of Gerald Ambrose Griffiths of Sioux City, Iowa, among the heavyweights ranked as possibilities for the title vacated on the retirement of Gene Tunney, today was a notch higher—by the margin of a close decision victory oevr Paolino Uzcudun, the stubborn, rugged Basque. The youthful Jowan, giving away 14% pounds to a more experienced opponent, won the decision of the ref- eree and one ju at the Chicago Sta- dium last night after 10 bitterly waged rounds of fighting. The remaining judge called the fight a draw. Griffith’s edge over the Spaniard was not so great but he demonstrated he can take much as the Basque, whose reputation rests largely on ability to absorb punishment. The crowd of more than 16,000 per- sons received the verdict with ed feeling, a liberal number of boos sound- ing among the cheers for the American, whto was the crowd’s favorite through- out. Paolino was amazed and angry at the decision, saying he believed he had won easily. He criticized Referee Davie Mil- ler, claiming the official had refused to let him stay in close, giving him little opportunity to work effectively on Grif- fith’s body, his best style of fighting. The knockout career of Salvatore Ruggirello, Italian giant, was halted by Hein Mueller, recent German invader, who outboxed his huge opponent to gain a 10-round decision, in the semi- final bout. . The show drew a gate of $62,365 net, Wwith gross receipts set at approximately $77,000, in spite of near-zero weather.

You'll see them address the ball either with the weight evenly balanced between their two feet, or, what, is even worse, with the greater share of their weight on their right foot. Neither is conduoive to good golf. The weight should be a bit more on the left than the right leg at stance. ‘That is the natural way to carry it, though many easily swing it to the right side without knowledge of doing so, because the lowered right shoulder tends to place it there.

NEW YORK, November 30 (#).—Vin- cent Richards, former American Davis Cup tennis star, has been engaged to serve as club professional at the Nor- weod Cotintry Club, Long Branch, N. J., for the Summer season &§;1930. “It 1s not so necessary,” he told this correspondent, “to get the height of the ball that is about to be pitohed as it is the kind of ball that the pitcher may throw. Al- most all batters can hit a high or low ball if it is over the plate, Maybe they hit the high one bet« ter than the low one and perhaps it is the other way around, but they can manage to hit it, and if they are lucky they may hit safely. “The thing to try to inform the bate ter 1 whether it is a straight ball or a curve ball. If it is a straight ball ith speed the batter will not change his stance much, but if it is a curve outside he will step forward, and if he is clever with his Elt he will poke the ball to one fleld or the other where it will do damage. Can Help Place Batter. “Glve a right-hand batter a curve outside and he will try to put it i right field and if you give a left-hand bat- ter a curve on the outside he will probe ably try to hit to left fleld and cross the flelders on the other team. A clever sign detector who can get what the catcher has signaled for will help a Ellcs batter a it deal. If the batter ht-hander he will enable him to hit behind the runner on an outside curve, and if he can do that man on first base he is sure to advance the runner and may catch the flelders out of position and get a ggfe hit. “Do you think lhll Auzfl'uu caught the signals of the Chicago pitchers in the world series?” that t and Malone were giving to the Athletics Did Not Need Tips. ‘“The Athletics did not need to ha the signs caught,” he llld.m':gfdc%un'e; s , i he & gam ed, but %eér ‘ltyle enl:uzx.
