SP ORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO Inability to Score 66 Peeves M’Leod : FALS TWIGE WHEN NEAR RECORD GOAL Freddie Needs Only Par on| Last 4 Holes Each Time, but Goes Far Over. BY W. R. McCALLUM. REDDIE McLEOD, Columbia’s little golf “doctor,” who has cured as many links ills as any living teacher, has a minor worry these days. His ruddy brow, unworried by the banking holiday and inability to get cash, is furrowed because, of all things, the former national open title holder can't finish a round of golf around 66 or 67. Most folks would be concerned be- cause they couldn't break 100 or couldn't shatter 85, acccrding to their respective skill, but Freddie, who has played the Columbia course any number of times in better than 68, is all bothered because he cennot finish well enough to bust that mark. Twice within the past week, notwith- 8. nding far-from-ideal weather condi- ticns, Freddie has had a chance to wa.'>n tle ball around Cclumbia in 66 or better. And each time he has gone up above 70 by a bad finish. Both times he has needed the par of 4. 3, 3, 4 for a 66, and both times he has gone to 70 and above. Time after time over the past fcrtnight Freddie has played seven holes of the first nine in two or three better than par, needing only a streng finish to get out in 33 or 32,'and each time he has finished with a4 and a5 for a 35 or worse. 'T'S all too bad, really a doleful con- diticn, when you ccnsider that most of the golfers ¢t Columbia consider they have done well if they play either nine 1n 45 and the entire course in 90. But for Freddie 'tis a real tragedy, for Freddie predicates his matches on the hope that he will shoot the course in 71 or better. And almost every time he has started in recent days he has had the chance to go far below that merk. ‘Take his round two days ago, for ex- ample. Out in 34. Freddie came to the fifteenth hole needing 4. 3, 3, 4 for a 66. Par on the seventeenth is 3, because the hole is being played from the lower tee and can be reached with a well hit spocn or brassie chot. In that rcund Freddie put his tee shot into the bunker at the fifteenth end wound up with a 6, following by attempting a chip shot from a bunker at the sixteenth which | He | left the ball right in the sand. scored a 71. Five days before it was the same story, except that his big | score came on the seventeenth. Freddie | is really to be pitied. The pocr fellow simply cannot go over 71 or 72, even though he looks to be scoring a 68 or Detter. ut I guess Il get all my shots clicking some day socn,” opines the Columbia pro, “and then I may g:t down there eround 66 or so.” C. DICKEY, the big chip and . putt man from the Washington Golf and Country Club, wants Milton R. Westcott to declare a mora- torium on putter shots from bunkers. Playing with Westcott the other day Dickey reached the green at the fitth hole with two well-played shots, after watching Westcott miss three in a row, the third of which deposited the West- cott ball in a bunker at the green. But “Milt” is another of those golfing gents who never gives up. He took a putter out of his bag and calmly rolled the ball over a steep bank into the hole for a par 4. Dickey took three putts and a 5 to lose the hole. Moral: Never give up a hole because it looks lost. The other fellow might have a brainstorm. A large sector of the Washington club is following the varying fortunes of D. C. Gruver and Dickey in their challenge match. Dickey broke into a long lead early in the 50-game series, but Gruver has pulled up and now leads by two games. The loser must pay a small wager and at the same time must write the winner a letter pro- claiming his superiority on the golf course.

BOBBY JONES S LEFT- \ HAND GRIP TO KEEP SHAFT NOT FROM OF 31033 THUMB Sii POSTION ON BACK SHAFT LL the big stars take a great deal of care with the left thumb on the backswing to see that its position will not change. It is placed at the back of the shaft, or the right side, whichever you choose to call it. It must main- tain this position throughout. To do this it must press the shaft firmly in conjunction with the fin- gers of the left hand. A Average players are quite likely to loosen the left thumb as they reach the top of the backswing. The reason is simple. The hands of the average middle-aged man are stiff and do not accommodate them- selves easily to the action at the top of the swing. The fuller the swing, the more difficult this action becomes. Involuntarily the duffer relaxes his grip a little and lets the left thumb slide down the side cf tha shaft. The shaft drops into the crook at the base of the thumb and forefinger and control is at once affected. Rather than to release the left thumb it is better to shorten the swing. After all, this is the best course for the middle-aged man to follow anyway. And the young fel- low will do well to see that his backswing is not too full, either. ‘Why waste the years trying to lower your score by disregarding instrutions?

EW YORK, March 11.—The New | York Boxing Commission yes- 1\ terday afternoon approved the | | proposed 15 -round boxing | match between Max Schmeling and Max Baer for the Polo Grounds on June 1. Tim Mara, sports promoter, of this city obtained the approval of the fight and the date from Gen. John J. Phelan, who communicated with Com- missioner William Muldoon to get the | necessary vote. This does not mean that the bout is | as yet definitely arranged for this date | or kall park, as Jack Dempsey, who controls it, has not as yet come to terms with Mara. It is assumed. how- ever, that Mara’s success in gaining this confirmation paves the way for an agreement between the New Yorker and the former heavyweight champion, and | the bout has a reasonably good chance of coming here.

BY WILBUR WOOD. EGARDLESS of whether Primo Carnera proved that he deserves to b: rated a good heavyweight in his bout with Ernie Schaaf, almost every cne who saw that contest gained the impression ‘that the vast Venetian showed marked improvement. Every cne entitled to any credit for bring- ing about this improvement has been mentioned, with the exccpticn of his trainer, M-nnie Seamon. wh> de- serves mclolxr credit than all the rest put together. It would have been strange if Jones Suggests Quicker Shift Of Weight to Prevent Pulling, Hooking in Golf; Gives Causes to the left of the intended line. A hook is understood to be & shot which may start on any line but which “bresxs” or curves sharply to the left. The align- ment of the club-face and the directions of its travel at the instant of impact is, of course, not the same in two cases. A pull, that is, a shot flying on a straight line directed to the left of the objective results when the club- face is approximately square to its direction of motion, but it is moving, at contact, across the line of play from the outside-in. A hook results when the club is facing to the left of the line upon which it is moving as it strikes the ball. As the contact be- tween club and ball endures for only the tinlest fraction of a second, we do not need to look for extended lines or intervals of time. Locating The Trouble. SUALLY a player who hits the ball well enough to score In the high 170s, and particularly one who drives very well, might be suspected of exaggerating the inside-out idea, pro- ducing his hooked shot by hitting too much to the cutside. But the fact that in Harper's case the hooks are mixed in equally with pulled shots means that the fault cannot be this. The requirements for hooking can be met with the club travelling across the line of play from either side or even precisely alone that line, but a pull can- not result when the club is crossing from inside-out. With the information I have, my diagnosis would be that the trouble comes from a tendency to hold the weight a shade too long upon the right |foot, a fault which would throw the downswing out beyond its proper path and result in hitting across the line of play toward the inside, or to the left of the objective. Obviously, the club- | Tace must have been completely re- closed by the time it meets the ball, and the result is a straight flight in the direction the club was traveling. When it closes & little more, the hook appears, and if the fault be exaggerated there is a complete smother. Transfer Weight More Quickly. SHOULD recommend moving the weight, at the beginning of the downswing. a little more quickly from the right foot to the left, actually making the first movement, in the un- winding of the hips, a shift directly toward the objective. Here the right elbow, which has been drawn away from the side of body in completing the upswing, shculd return to it in order to keep the arc of the swing in- side the line of play. Exert a strong pull from the left side and continue it straight through the ball. Hit the ball slightly downward and visualize a swing straight through towards the ob- Jective. Do you have trouble with your iron | shots, particuiarly in the wind? If you do when Bobby Jones' leaflet on iron play no doubt will help your game.

By the Associated P EW YORK, March 11.—Prince- ton’s tall Tigers, needing victory to tie Yale and force a playoft for the champlonship, face Pennsylvenia at Philadelphia tonight In the last regularly scheduled game of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League. Despite an early season reverse at the hands of the Quakers, Princeton rules the favorite. A Tiger triumph would leave Yale and Princeton tied for first place in the final standing, with eight victories and two defeats cach. A single play-off game, on a neutral court, then would decide the title now held by Princeton. HATEVER the result of tonight's game, clinched the first two positions. Penn must win to finish in undisputed Ppossession of third place. Otherwise the Quakers will have to share that berth with Dartmouth, which concluded her campaign with an even break in five games. Columbla, which lost in a play-off with Princeton for the 1932 title, wound up this campaign in fifth place with three victories and seven defeats. Cornell, with one victory in 10 games, brought up the rear. An 1nteresting side issue of the clos- ing game will be the duel between Fair- man and Seibert for the league’s indi- vidual scoring championship. They now are tied for first place with 92 points aplece.

YOUNG STARS LOSE POSE ON BIG TIVE Real Class Tells—Sarazens, Dutras Figure to Shine in Major Events. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. SHREWD appraiser of golfing form recently made en interesting bet. He wagered—giving odds—that | Gene Sarazen and Olin Dutra in |all the important tournaments next Summer would head the group of yomMaecters who today lead In thc race for Winter golf- | ing honors by substantial financial margins. Craig Wood, the leader, has won nearly $5,000 thus far, having captured | three juicy tourneys in a row; Paul Runyan's earnings total $3947 and | Denny Shute 15 only a few dollars be- hind the White Plains pro Sarazen stands fourteenth as to earn- ings and Dutra is in ninth place, with a measly $1529. Al Espinosa is just above Sarazen and Harry Cooper and Leo Diegel occupy tenth and eleventh places, respectively. Walter Hagen is | in_sixth place It 1S interesting to note that Winter golf, year after year, serves to boost the stock of two or three young golfers | ™ho either do extremeiy well later in ‘vimp:rum tournaments in which re- | sounding titles are at stake, or are | pretty compl tely submerged. | JJORTON SMITH is 2n example.

He As one serious technical defect, but he has a spiendid competitive tempera- ment and if he corrects a certain defect in his backswing he may well sit among the elect. In other words, the fact that the famous gclfers are well down in Win- ter winnings and the youngsters occupy the top means little or nothing in terms of important tournements to come. The fact is that the pressure on con- tenders in the Winter tourneys in Florida and California is not nearly so great as it is in the National Opsn, the P. G. A and important foreign and | sectional tourneys, even granting that the financial rewards of Winter play | are greater. | | And success in an important tourner is based upon frame of mind to an 85 | per cent degree.
