KRAUSS ENVIED FOR VRST POWER Pitt Is Hitting Longest Ball of Links Career After Winter on Drives. Stiff Test on BY TED VOSBURGH. Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, April 18.—Launched N in thrilling fashion at Seattle 1 ing campaign which will be in- promise of bringing into action a flock of speedy and well-matched crews. BY R. D. THOMAS. P14 F I had wrists like Harry| Krauss I'd be the longest| driver in the world.” ! Thus, George S. Lyon, eight times Canadian amateur golf champion said. Lyon noted Krauss powerful | wrists during a tournament at Chevy Chase several years ago.| Perhaps in reality he noted only one of them—the one developed by bowling, and that gets to the| point of this piece. | — So many golfers have turned from the links to the bowling drives during cold weather that steps are under way o organize a duckpin league of country | club teams, to operate next season. | Conditioner for Golf. | Golfers have been lured not only by | bowling as a sport but as a means of | conditioning for the other game. 1In at| least one hand the regular bowler has a | grip of steel. * His bowling arm is like | Whipcord. If he makes a practice of | picking up balls with his other hand, that side, too, is strengthened. Strength of wrist and arm, even if it be in only one wing, is a valued asset in golf, but bowling gives to the golfer much more. It strengthens his legs and | back. Many a skilled shot maker on the links has lost out in the late stages of a match or tournament because fa- tigue from the hips down destroyed muscular co-ordination. ~ One bowls | quite as much with his legs as his| his arm. Indeed, in a long series of games the legs weaken before the Wing. Harry Pitt, the long hitting star of the Manor Club, is finishing his first season on the mapleways and at the same time getting under way a promis- | ing golf campaign. He is hitting the | longest tee ball of his career. He be- | lieves bowling has helped him as a| golfer. He starts this season with mus- | cles already hardened. Some golfers suffer soreness and stiffness during the first few weeks of the links season, but not so your in- | g veterate bowler-linksman. ‘Lhe Emperor Snared. Early in the Winter Bobby Jones | had his first fling at duckpin bowling. | wi He rolled the sphere that christened |S John Blick’s imposing pin plant at At- | ianta, Ga. | But Bobby didn't stop there. He pro- ceeded to roll a whole game. Then an- other and another. The sport fascinated him. He shot about 70 in his first string and then his natural athletic ability as- | serted itself. - He became one of the few to beat 100 in his second effort. Jones and Blick and several notables of Atlanta, including Walter Candler, had a hot time on the drives. Some Likely Captains. Pitt, is ready to head a_team from | & the Manor Club. Henry Tait Rodi‘r already has & Washington Golf and Country Club bowling_ organization. The Rodier Tnursday Nighters' shoot once a week throughout the season. Columbia would have an cxcellent nucleus for a team in Ray Chapin, who * used to be one of the truly great mapie | shooters hereabout, and still is nobod: s | M set-up. But Ray probably would want to | G. Sch stick with Harry Krauss, who most cer- tainly would be the captain of Ban- nockburn's team. Chapin is a member of this club, too, and Damon and Pythias were strangers compared with | Harry and Ray. YANKEE WOMAN GOLFERS TO PLAY FRENCH TEAM NEW YORK, April 18 (#).—A team matcl: against Prance has been added to the schedule of Glenna Collett’s women’s golf team this year.
