- ' "SPORTS. —_— e Slow Movies of World’s Three Finest Golf Swings Create Hot Controversies VIEWS ALL DIFFER AFTER EXHIBITION Endless Questions Asked by Gazers in Jones, Vardon, Wethered Films. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. OW bring in your pcp-eyed golf fanatics and let ’em argue. Yes, let 'em argue. Put ’em in a closed room, lock the doer and throw the key away, and let ’em keep on argu- ing. If those gents who had a Pollyanna idea that the slow mov- jes of Jones, Varden and Joyce Wethered would stop all con-| troversy regarding theories of the | golf swing, they were sadly mis- | taken, for last night's showing of | the movies with the pace of a turtle have broken the rash out in & new spot. Instead of being all ended, as some thought it would be with the showing of films of the three finest golf swings 4n the world, the argument has busted Joose in a new spot, and unless some- thing is done to stop it we shall have to learn some entirely new theories of the golf swing. ‘The slow movies, reproduced at the rate of 3,200 flickers a second, were put on at the Indian Spring Golf Club last night. A smattering of golf pros were present, but most of the spectators were amateurs who hope scme day to bust 100, and among the viewers who re- | mained to argue were a few ‘who can | and 5 perfect pivot, that glorious back swing of the great in golf; that slight hip shift at the start of the down swing; that, mec‘t‘ co-ordination of mind and Calls Vardon Greatest.

BALTIMORE, April 1 (#.—Jm Londos, heavywelght wrestler, threw Dick Daviscourt with an airplane lplnl in 46 minutes last night. | Stanislaus Zbyszko threw Young Pa- | dubny with a reverse body slam in the semi-final. The time was 45 minutes. PORTLAND, Me., April 1 (#).—Gus Sonnenberg, heavyweight wrestler, tossed Dan Kolcff of Bulgaria in siraight falls last night with a flying tackle in 24 minutes 49 seconds and an arm and wrist lock in 7 minutes 10 seconds. In a semi-final, Farmer McLeod and Bib- ber McCoy went 30 minutes to a draw. SHERRY DUPLICATES LONDOS’ MAT STYLE Uses Airplane Spin to Lay Out Demitroff—Pair of Cyclone Smiths Defeated. Jack Sherry, who is consistently on the winning side, is stealing Jim Lon- dos’ stuff in a big way at the Strand rassling shows. After shocking the public by his audacity in his first bout here (he used the supposedly copy- righted airplane spin), he not only em- ployed Londos’ favorite “holt” again last night on Boris Demitroff and won the bout, but he did all this in Jim's “favorite” time, 32 minutes. Boris, like many of Londos nents, was even-up or leading slighity on points for the first 31 minutes, but a whack in theé brisket, a couple of slams and the airplane spin, and the match was over in another min- ute. About 700 heard the snorts and snaps. Joe Freeman, who promotes the bouts at the Strand, is pretty good in gathering cyclones. He has one Cy- clone Smith scheduled to rassle Pete Dallas. When Pat McGill, down for a go with George Vassell, didn't show ur, Freeman hauled out another Cy- clone Smith, who flopped before Vas- sell in 13 minutes. ‘Then Pete Dallas took the wind out of the second Cyclone Smith (no rela- tion) and oddly enough, also did it in 13 minutes. Archie Parker, local matman, clamp- ed Tony Ricco to the canvas in 11 minutes, while young Wagner and Tom Long, more local talent, battled to a customary 15-minute draw in the cur- tain-raiser.

But whatever they may say, Sandy Armour is right: “Genius is a law unto itself.” If Jones needs to crook that left elbow at the meeting of the ball, that is genius showing itself. If Vardon bends his elbows at the top of the swing, genius again asserts it- self. Did you notice, however, that the ball does not remain on the clubface for | any length of time, but that it leaves almost immediately?

COLORFUL MATMEN TUSSLE TOMORROW Chief White Feather and Dusek ‘Will Headline Program at Auditorium Show. ‘Two great showmen in the rassling racket are down for the feature bout at the Washington Auditorium tomorrow night—Chief White Feather and Rudy Dusek. * Combining color and ability, this pair of chronic “boo” magnets, will clash for the first time. White Feather, who has puzzled fans with his superb condition and physique at 45 years, specializes in the bar chinlock. Jack Reynolds, whose jaw ‘was fractured not so long ago by it, will attest to that. Dusek is rated a bang-up wrestler who makes free use of his fists and el- bows. White Feather also likes to ex- change thesz pleasantries with en- thusiasm, and has just returned from an exhibition jaunt as Max Schmeling’s sparring partner. Hans Steinke, one of the mat howitzers before the influx of flying tackles, ex-collegians and flying fists, will meet a newcomer in Wallace Du- gan. Billy Bartush and Jack Reynolds are down for a go. e Romano, who conquered Ghafoor Khan last week, is back for a match with George Tragos. Matros Kirelenko and Tiger Nelson, the latter another newcomer, round out the card. Promoter Joe Turner is selling tickets at his Annapolis Hotel office.

His victory last night was evidence of his versatility. Mandley won John Blick's 100-game marathon, displaying amazing endurance for & small man in addition to his bowling skill. He ran second to Jack Whelan by three pins in the National Sweepstakes when ingle pin of s basket spare break wavered, but refused to fall. 3 As a doubles partner Brad teamed with Thurston Furr to win that crown in the Potomac Sweepstakes. As & team bowler he ranks with the District’s To win the single-pin crown Ilast night Mandley, who employs a cross- fire curve, hit 92 out of a possible 100 singles to garner a 20-game total of 177. In his last 50 boxes he missed only three maples. Astor Clarke, who has specialized in defying jinxes ever since placed at the top of the list in the Campbell Sweep- stakes before the bowlers rolled the final five games, saw his second title slip from his grasp within a week by a single pin when he finished second to Mandley with a total of 176. Clarke was in form last night also, making a run of 30. Maxie Rosenberg finished third with 171, Joe Harrison was fourth with 168, and Paul Harrison came in fifth with 164 as the tourney wound up at the Northeast Temple. Rendezvous bowlers, with the District League pennant bug buzzing loudly in their ears, tonight will face a vital test when they roll Cornell Lunch on the Columbia drives. A game and a half behind the leading King Pins, Mag Wood's outfit, with only six more games on the schedule, count- ing tonight's, will be out for every stick. Hopes of catching Campbell's crew this week are not bright, as the King Pin- ners will roll the weak Convention Hall team Priday, Next week, when the District League winds up, Rendezvous will bowl Hyatts- ville and King Pin will meet its arch foe, Northeast Temple.
