MIAMI BEACH, Fla, February 25.— Gene Tunney has arrived here for an indefinite stay. He plans to be at the ringside for the Sharkey-Scott fight ‘Thursday night in Miami, to mark his first appearance in a boxing arena since he retired as undefeated heavyweight champion in the Summer of 1928. Tunney, friends sald, appeared strong and well on the road to recovery froin an operation in New York six weeks ago. He said, however, that he tired rather easily and felt the need of rest. He carried a cane for support. He was tanned by three weeks in Florida. He motored here from Useppa Isle, off the West Coast, accompanied by Mrs. Tunney and the latter’s sister, Mrs. Edwin 8.

ATLANTA, February 25 (#)—Down to his best playing weight, tanned, hardened and shooting better golf than usual this early in the season, Bobby Jones, national open champion, is ready for his most extensive campaign of Tecent years. A program of indoor and outdoor sports, intermingled with a little golf, | has kept the Atlanta ace in near per- fect trim throughout the Winter. He now tips the scales at 175 pounds, stripped. ‘The stocky champion, who has won | every major crown golfdom offers ex: cept the British amateur, plans to get | in at least four rounds of golf over the East Lake Country Club course here— his home course—every week until he sails for Europe April 30 as captain of the Walker Cup team. He may enter the Augusta, Ga., open on March 31 and April 1, Jones has his eyes set on the British amateur title this year. His tentative schedule also includes the British open, in addition to the Walker Cup matches, and the American open and amateur. With only a few chances to test his clubs this year, Bobby finished a 72- hole grind at Savannah just one stroke behind Horton Smith and six strokes lheu; of Bobby Cruickshank, who took second money among the pros. Bobl carded a 279, - » i But for a bad second round of 75 and a poor putt on the sixteenth hole on the final journey he might have won the Savannah event. The greens on the East Lake course here are in bad conditions as a result of an extremely long and exacting Win- ter and Bobby has had little chance to recover his putting touch., Calamity Jane, his famous putter, missed nearly | a dozen 10 to 15 foot putts on each round at Savannah. But his showing at Savannah served to inform the golfers of this country and Britain that Bobby needs only a little more practice before he reaches the great form that has brought him many champlonships. 421 SET IS ROLLED BY CLARENCE KIBBY —— This Clarence Kibby of the Treasu team of the Federal Bowling Leay .?1 burning up the drives.

UST a few lines in a letter from a one-time big league star who was famous as a home-run hitter some years ago provided me with the greatest thrill of all my base ball career and I always will remember the sensation it gave me when I glanced at that signature. That letter was to start me on the way to the big leagues and in a very short time I was to be- come a member of the famous Phila- delphia Athletics. hen 1 was 15 years old, I started out playing third base as a semi-pro player in the Caroline County League of Maryland, and I played for two Sum- mers. So one day, during the Winter of 1924, when I was 16 years old, a letter came to my house and it was from the Easton team of the Eastern Shore League inviting me to train with them in the Spring, if I cared to. At the bottom of the letter was this famous signature: “Frank (Home Run) Baker!” “If I cared to"—there wasn't any question about it, and I reported to Manager Baker in the Spring. To this day I do not know who recommended me to him, but when I arrived there, I told him I was a third baseman. In a few days, however, Manager Baker said to me: “Jimmy, I think I'll make a catcher out of you.” Five months later, at the age of 16, he sold me to the Philadelphia Athletics, the same team with which he made such a great team name for himself. INFIELDER PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS DL L In the Spring of 1925, however, I was shipped to the Providence team, but remained there only seven weeks, when I was recalled and have been a member of the A's ever since. ‘There have been many exciting mo- ments since I broke into the big league, but none, I think, that gave me the excitement and the thrill of that letter from Home Run Baker. (Copyright, 1030, by N.AN.A) THE SPO Fame and By GRANTLAND RIC! RILIGHT the Game. AST Fall Columbia’s foot ball team failed to stampede any of the leading gridiron herds, but only a short while before a Co- lumbia crew had rowed to as much glory as any foot ball team ever earned. But the big difference is that a star crew doesn't draw as much of the old hip-hip or as much publicity as a star foot ball team can draw—and does draw. Yet a winning crew needs as much in the way of skill, stamina, power and courage as any winning foot ball team ever needs, and probably a trifle more. The four-mile race comes close to being the hardest test in all sport. It is a test where the weakest member must row yp to the strongest or crack the rhythm of the boat. Many of these oarsmen take terrific punishment, for the time being at least. A four-mile race calls for much better physical condition than a foot ball game demands, for there are no resting spots in a four-mile race, where foot ball action demands only about 15 minutes of motion in the two hours needed to play a game. In the course of time Columbia’s foot ball team will be heard from, with Lou | Little in charge, but in the meanwhile young Glendon is busy building up an- other Columbia crew that will also be heard from before the Poughkeepsic party is over. Glendon’s crew might beat the best in the world and still not get as much publicity as Lou Little can draw by building up a foot ball team good enough to beat Cornell, Pennsylvania and Syracuse. The Break of the Game. ASE BALL carries as many breaks, good or_bad, as any single sport can show. But one of the most im- portant breaks, so far as the ball player is eoncerned, is the team that he hap- pens to draw, or the team that happens to draw him. Take the case of young Klein of the Phillies. Last season Klein broke the National League records for home runs with 43, He moved out beyond Horns- by's old mark. He batted .356 on the s ide. You can figure about what a ball player of this t) would be worth to the Yankees, Giants or Cubs. As it is, he is to have for $15,000 with the Phillies and only $8,000 offered. The Phillies don’t happen to be financially equipped to compete with Yankees, Giants or Cubs. But that isn't Klein's fault. He might beat Babe Ruth by a dozen home runs this season and still draw less than a third of Ruth's salary, or a fourth of Ruth’s salary. It all the good ball players were taken away from clubs that couldn't afford to compete with some others there wo) be no race left. But, , this isn't the ball player's fault, just happens to be one of those tough breaks th-t at times assail some sections of the human race. The ball player is no part of but not all 6f them get the best of the breaks when it comes to open financial competition in an open market. And yet there is practically nothing that can be done about it, The Next Million-Dollar Gate. 'HE chaice for another million-dollar gate at some 1930 date will nd upon two things—how Sharkey looks against Scott; how Schmeling stacks Two Types in Golf, Hitter and Swinger BY SOL METZGER. ‘The way to better golf concerns itself rarely with detail. Neither is great rength for hitting a requi- site. Distance with accuracy comes only by swinging the clubhead through ahead. But some do gain results by sheer hitting power. Hagen, who introduced the hit, is striking proof. Such a type can be picked out by the position of the hands and club- head at the top of the swing. Their clubheads do not point straight down at the ground. And were they to glance back at their clubhead here they would not see the hitting surface, but only the top of same, bearing the maker's signature.

It may stay in a heel prim in a bunker several seconds after it has been hit, ‘The ‘idea was once advanced that a golf ball remains glued to the face of & club. for several inches after being struck.” The rebound is almost imme- diate, ball and club face traveling about a half-ineh together before the ball is under way. So one can see just how important the carefully posed finishes of many golfers are.

This is another of @ series of stories in which Vincent Richards is analyzing Jor this year's U, S. Davis Cup squad. BY VINCENT RICHARDS, International Tennis Star and Former Davis Cup Ace, O part of the country is coming up faster in tennis than the Southwest. Since 1922, when Lewis N. White and Louis Thal- heimer won the intercgllegiate doubles, Texas has been pro- ducing fine young players who have been making their mark more and more on the grass courts of the East. One of the best is Berkeley Bell, known as “Bulldog Bell.” This of the fieriest players ever to step He bristles with aggressiveness and plays with such abandon and fury that he is one of the big favorites with the gallery. Bell never holds anything in reserve. He gives everything he has on every shot, and when he is through he is usually a wreck, grimy, able to drag himself off the court. Bell has been playing in the East about five years. He made his first appearance as a_ junior, and the killing battles he had with Johnny Doeg of California will never be forgotten by either, In 1928 the wiry little Texan made | his mark nationally. He went through a strong field which included some of Australia’s best players and a host of the leading Eastern performers to win the Southampton invitation singles. Last year he an even bigger year, winning the national intercollegiate singles and the New York and Colorado State titles. Heretofore the Davis Cup committee had Klld little attention to Bell, but at last he has been put on the squad. To none of the 17 on the squad does this honor mean more. It is the chance Bell has been anxiously hoping for, and if he fails to win a place on the team it won't be because he doesn't try his hardest. Unlikely for Team This Year, I do not look for Bell to land a berth this year. He is still only a kid, and he probably will need a good deal more ex- pertence against top-notch players be- fore the committee will feel he is ripe for international play. But if he keeps on improving as he has in the last two years he may beat out some of the men ahead of him now. There is the danger, however, that Bell will burn himself out in a few years it he keeps on playing at his present pace. Both his style and program of play should be altered. He plays in far | too many tournaments, never taking a week off during the Summer to rest and store up energy. Any one who plays as he does simply cannot play every week Bell should learn to relax during a match and not wear himself out, He should learn that it is not wise to try to kill every ball, and that it is much better to play a waiting game at times or to hold his hand and work up toward & finishing shot through strategy than to try to win on pace and brute force ‘The young Texan' too, needs improving before he will do full justice to himself, His flat forehand drive is a stunner when it goes right, but he hasn’t yet enough control over it to be dependable. Nor is his back hand sufficiently advanced. It is hardly more than a push shot, lacking in se- verity, and because of its weakness Bell tavors his forehand teo.much, running around the ball and pulling himself out | of position, Needs Dependable Drive, The chop is his most rellable stroke, and he uses it nicely, Dumnxh! lot of stuff on the ball. But, as I have sald before in this series, a chop alone is not sufficient to carry one to the top, Bell must have a more dependable drive. The Texan’s biggest assets are his flat service, which can be withering in its flerceness, and his will to win and get- ting ability. He is a fair volleyer, though not in the same class with Lott. His ability as a getter is something to marvel at, but sometimes he pays too big a price for his points when he kills himself to win cne and leaves himself 50 exhausted he loses the next two. One would like to see a player succeed when he works as hard and conscien- tiously as Be!ll. If this lad will use a little more judgment. and conserve his encrgies when he can, instead of play- ing at a killing pace every minute, he will meet more success in the long run and he will get more fun from the game, (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) troke equipment, PETTERGEE A BUY YOUR VALET BLADES Free Mounting Service While You Wait!
