She sent the hopes of Northeast duckpin fandom soaring when Georgie Friend, Paul Harrison and Max Rosenberg of the Northeast Temple team were permitted to get hot on the same evening and land among th sweepstakes, with one set to go. Three bowlers from one team e first half dozen in the Campbell that high in the sweepstakes, go- ing into the stretch, is most unusual. In fact, it is without precedent. It seems now, however, that the old girl is getting fickle again. Rosenberg is limping on a sprained ankle and Friend has a lame leg. Both slipped on the ice. Rosenberg may not roll the final set at the King Pin tomorrow night and Friend will be handicapped. Georgie leads the field, and with $600 in sight for first place, not to speak of a $171 diamond medal, no keep him on the bench. Max was thinking seriously to- day of appointing a substitute. He is only 11 pins behind the leader and in sixth place, a bright spot for any bowler capable of a moderately large set. All of the topnotchers are among the field of 57, leaving Rosenberg a choice of second-raters if he is unable to bowl himself. One substitute already has been en- listed in the sweepstakes. Jack Wil- liams is shooting for Arthur Logan, who was laid low by iliness after the opening set. ‘Tomorrow night's games will be rolled on the second floor of the King Pin.

Dr. Tommy Rice of the Ripsnorters in Rodier's Thursday Nighters' League, had such a mishap shooting against the ‘Whiz and rolled three out of five games under 100. ' His average is 106. Dr. Rice stood at the foul line and merely tossed the balls, while his rival at anchor, Dr. T. D.

Red Morgan got over with 401. Friend and Joe Toomey needed a mark in the last box and both drew splits, Joe totaling 391 and Friend, 393.

By the Associated Press. GUA CALIENTE, Lower Calif, January 24—Gene Sarazen, sturdy New York professional, today ushered that ancient and royal Scottish pastime, golf, into the big money class of the sporting world. ‘With the magic touch of his chosen clubs Sarazen yesterday transformed his 295 strokes for the 72-hole first an- nual Agua Callente $25,000 open tourna- ment into $10,000, the champion’s share of the largest stake ever placed on the Ifing mart. 'OA i‘lh‘!lnl comeback which recalled his advent into the list of the elite back in 1922 when he, as a 2l-year-old youth, stepped out to win the national open title, marked Sarazen’s play. Fourteenth at the end of the first round, the former caddy finished his triumphant tour of the four-day event with a two-stroke edge over the pride of Missouri’s Ozark region, Horton Smith, and the veteran Al Espinosa, Chicaga professional, both of whom finished with scores of 297. Sarazen set a course record of 68 in his startling finish. It was one of only two scores which eclipsed the par fig- ures of 71 during the tournament. At the conclusion, Wirt G. Bowman, president of the Agua Caliente Co. Inc., announced that the affair would become & permanent fixture among the Pacific Coast Winter money events, to which it served as a stirring climax. Von Eim Heads Amateurs. The other player to stroke his way beyond the par barrier was George Von Elm, member of the Walker Cup team, and one of the Nations ranking am- ateurs. The Detroit simon pure tied for fourth place and finished first among the helf dozen play-for-fun entrants who survived the 36-hole qualifications. Tied with Von Elm were the Dutra brothers, Olin, of Santa Monica, Calif., and Mortie, Tacoma, Wash,, pro, three strokes behind the champlon.

When you find your ball embedded in sand it's quite a different prob- lem to remove it than when it's sitting pretty on top of the same substance. There is only one way to extricate it to either fairway or green, and that is via the blast or explosion shot route. The very words used to describe the shot indicate that a whole lot of power has to be used. Now, when you apply power you have to have a firm ;ounduflon to work from. Sand isn't any too firm, especially on the surface. So every good golfer ADDRES& FOR EXPLOSION ~ BURY @OTH FEET IN SAND SANO LINE_ Ra OTHERWISE.

Likewise, you'll find the star spreading his feet a bit for this shot. He has to have purchase. But the main idea is to dig in with the feet. If you don't, your right foot will sink in as you go back and you'll jam your club into the sand before you mean to. Result, the clubhead won't go through and the shot will be dubbed.

He col- lected six birdies, the last three in suc- cession, after going 2 over par on the tenth and 1 over on the eleventh.

BY JOHN DAWSON, Semisfinalist in 1920 British Amateur. Th}l s the eleventh of serles of Srofassional - folfers: eling how they Bvere s )-nfu ?n thelr overcome outstand play. T'S funny how, even after you have become a tournament player of some standing, the faults that harried you in your duffer days still cling, cropping up in the most unexpected places, My greatest fault in golf has been a tendency to swing too fast, or, as you John Dawson. Nafurally you can't swing in groove if you go back fast, for that habit comes with tenseness and jerki- ness. I conquered myself for a while, and then the fault came back, It seems strange that any mi' who has been as should have to to show that Dawson Found Way to Conquer Fault of Hurrying Backswing I worked hours on the practice tee to correct this fault. It seemed I had it pretty well under control, too. 1In practice I swung as slowly and smoothl; as you'd care to see. I was well pluu(i, and would go out to play in tourna- ments or important matches, but_ the |3 first thing I knew I was going back as fast as ever. Nobody had to tell me what was wrong with my game. It was right there in front of me as plain as could be, Yet what was I to do about it? ‘There is only one answer to the problem of how to correct any golfi fault. It's a sort of double answer, an is this: “Get a competent instructor to show you what to do—and then practice!” Intelligent practice is the most neces- sary thing for any one who hopes to be- come a_ golfer. Kno what was wrong, all I needed was to keep on practici unti] mind became ped. you if you are in the habit too fast. Say “slo-0-o-w back,” every time you take wing. “8l0-0-0-w back,” and youw'll find yourself taking the club back slowly in time with your phrasing. But no matter what method is used— and probably you can figure out other tricks to force yourself go slowly— yowll have to carry that club-head back Without aerush if you're going to get anywhere, of swinging 1080, b (Copyrisht, 1080, by North Amorican News- (Mext—Walter Kozalg) ‘that | follows: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, NOVELTIES, FREAKS ONLY ARE DRAWING Shires Example of Modern Entertainer—Primo Also Gate Attraction.

Even the resident of the ome- pony village knows just how all famous personages look, walk and talk. He has seen elephants in the jungle and polar bears in the Arctic. He has heard presidents talk, as well as queens.

So, to draw customers in paying quantities today, a performer not only must be the best in his line, but he must have a world of color. Or else he must be a performer out of the ordinary, in a certain sense a freak. Must Be Good to Draw. Jack Dempsey has been beaten, but if he returned to the ring he still could draw the biggest gate of them all Pitchers who_strike out Babe Ruth come and go, but the Babe remains the greatest attraction in base ball. Bobby Jones has been put out of important If tournaments. Does the crowd fol- ow the man who beat Jones? No. From the standpoint of a big gallery, the tournament is over. The average spectator is not so much interested in the game as in one great player. The unusual player draws the crowd in the same manner, but not for the same reason. The colorful champion furnishes thrills. The colorful freak furnishes amusement—a new sensation. A crowd might gather to watch Man o' War eat oats, but the average horse would have to do something more to draw the throng. A horse which could race on a motor cycle would be a great attraction. So, when a ball player takes to pugilism he doesn’t have to be very good to pack the arena. That is why Art Shires is smart enough to give up the ring when Judge Landis tells him he will have to choose between boxing and base ball. While Shires remains a base ball player he is an attraction, but if he dropped the national game and took up fighting as a profession he soon would be classed merely as a third-rate palooka, and there are too many of those now. It is a little tough on Shires that he should be forced to retire before the base ball season opens. In the next couple of months he omvmhlbly could have cleaned up $25, At the end of that time, either the novelty would have worn off, or else Shires would have been forced to meet some real boxer. It may be just as well that he is retiring. One thing which must be sald for Shires is that he has kept base ball prominent during the off months. The advertising he has given it may not have been dignified, bu was advertising. The same crowds which watched Shires as a boxer will now watch him as & ball player. He has made himself news. And as crowds turned out to watch Shires, so they will turn out to see Primo Carnera in his first_appearance on ‘this side of the ocean. Carnera will draw, not because he has shown so much as a pugilist as because he is a giant with big feet. Primo just might be a surprise. He is one of the best built big men I ever have seen and, for his-size and weight, he is astonishingly active. He is faster than some men half his weight. Carnera No Joke. Stribling, Griffiths and other well known heavyweights do not take Car- nera in any spirit of levity. They say that, properly trained, he is more than likely to be a lot more than a joke. He is intelligent and picks up, the idea of boxing sooner than might be supposed. Being willing and able to learn is a big help in any game. In Big Boy Peterson Carnera doesn't meet too formidable an opponent, but Peterson is plenty big himself and has had vastly more experience than his opponent. Carnera is so huge that the ordinary fighter is under a great physi- cal disadvantage in boxing him, which probably is why they picked another tall man for his first tryout. The wise plan would be to keep on matchin, Carnera. with fairly easy opponents untii he really learns something about scien- tific slugging. Meanwhile, he will draw just on account of his size.
