SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, B _C, TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1933. SPORT S. A—15 American Leads in “Freshman” Slab Stars : Rooseveltian Pep Pervades Pin Game HAS DOZEN ROOKS IN LINE FOR JOBS Linke of Griffs Mentioned. Only Six Shine Brightly in National. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, March 28.—The prospective freshman pitching class for the 1933 major league pennant ses- sions looks to be much more strongly represented in the Amer- ican League than the National, on the basis of training camp devel- opments thus far. | Every club in the American League has at least one good young pitching recruit, primed for the big test, and the probability is that a round dozen will retain their' places on the pay roll at the start of the season. It will be a surprise if as many as six newcomers | make the grade in the National League, | ‘which may mean either that the clubs in the older circuit are satisfied with their sophomores and elder classmen | or that they haven't found much tal- ent among this Spring's freshman can- didates. Washington and New York. keen pennant rivals in the American League, each developed an outstanding fresh- man last year and may duplicate the stunt. The Senators will be extremely lucky if big Ed Linke, the strikeout king from Davenport (Iowa), follows the successful footsteps of Prof. Monte Weaver, who won 22 games last year, but the Yankees appear quite confi- dent that burly Don Brennan from Newark will prove as effective as was Johnny Allen, a 1932 sensation. HE world champions have two other great prospects in Russell Van Atta, southpaw, and Marvin Duke, right-hander. Each won 23 games in the minors last year, Van Atta with St. Paul and Duke witn Erie, Pa. Bucky Harris believes he has the| prize pitching rookie of them all, how- ever, in Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, | pronounced ready to become a major league regular after winning 19 games with Beaumont in the Texas League. Rowe is only 21, a youthful giant standing 4 inches over 6 feet and weigh- ing 205 pounds. Every one who has seen him says he has class. Connie Mack expects big Gowell Claset, a southpaw obtained from Mon- treal, to land a reserve job with his A's | and may also keep Bill Dietrich, from Portland, Oreg. Cleveland regards the former University of Iowa southpaw, | Forrest Twogcod, as a fixture and will give Belve Bean a thorough test on the strength of his good record with Toledo. | Walter Brown, bought from Montreal by the Red Sox, and Jack Knott, taken | from Milwaukee by the St. Louis Browns, | appear to have clinched big league jobs. | ‘The White Sox may keep either George | Murray, who won 23 for Dallas, or| Clarence Feiber, southpaw from Oak- | land. | only National League pitching recruit who came up definitely tag- ged as a stayer is Walter Beck, big right-hander of the Brooklyn club, and | he seems to have justified expectations. He won 27 games for Memphis last year. The outstanding surprise is Ed Fallen- stin of the Boston Braves. Having once | had a trial with the Phillies, Fallenstin isn't exactly a novice, but his profes- sional experience is brief. After play- ing’ with Jersey City and Scranton, he was out all last year with a broken hand. He stood the Yankee sluggers on | their collective heads in his last exhibi- tion appearance. The Cubs hope to get much-needed southpaw assistance from Beryl Rich- mond, obtained from Baltimore. The Phillies have a good prospect in Frank Pearce, right-hander, who won 20 for Nashville. The Pirates have a pair of former Kansas City hurlers, Ralph Birkofer and Harold Smith, with chances to stick. But unless Alfred Smith, a southpaw, makes the grade, the Giants will have no freshmen in the box and neither will the Reds or Car- dinals. The difference here is that the Cards don't need any more pitching :;:firus the Giants and Reds do, quite y. - g BOYS LIST SPORT SHOW.

Golfer Can Think of Only One Or Two Fundamentals at Time While Making S BY W. R. McCALLUM. HERE is no such thing as a standardized form of swinging a golf club to bring insured re- sults and gain for any player a consistency that will bring his score down around par. No golf professional can prescribe a set of rigid rules for all individuals which will make them par golfers. M3t of the professionals around ‘Washington, master teachers of the game of golf, agree that individual characteristics must enter into the in- structfon hints they give to their pu- pils and that there is no royal road to learning the game of golf, no way of escaping a lengthy and strenuous course of practice and tuition in the fundamentals of the golf swing. Sandy Armour at Congressional, George Diffenbaugh at Indian Spring, Dave Thomson at Washington, Bill Hardy at Chevy Chase and many other local pros agree regarding the controversy over teaching of the golf swing in which John Duncan Dunn has taken issue with many so-called experts, that there are a very few points in the swing which must fit into the picture, but that most of the intricacies may be entirely disregarded. SE— | other day we were playing with | Armour and John F. McCarron at Congressional. Now, McCar- ron is & man who scores very well, al- though he violates a number of what are accepted as certain fundamental rules of the swing. At the eighteenth hole Armour, who had not been play- ing well, hit a weak drive, leaving Mc- Carron almost alone at this important point of the match. Did Sandy ask his partner to pro- nate, or to pivot properly, or do any of the things expounded at such length by some teachers? He did not. Hfi simply said: “Hit it on the nose, Jack? In other words, the main thing to think about was hitting the ball, and disre- garding everything else, How much better off most folks would be if they though of just that and forgot all the elaborate teachings wing, Pros Hold the masters can remember and prac- tice. T is physically and mentally impos- sible, these local pros agree, to re- member and put into practice more than one or two of the fundamental points in the golf swing in the limited space of time which the swing con- sumes from the time the club is swung back until the ball leaves the tee. It all may consume as much as a full second of time, and in that time you simply can't remember to do a half dozen things. Your mind may think them, but your muscles don’t move fast enough to obey the mental dictates. Among the more important factors which go to make up the effective golf swing are these: Put in the punch at the half-wey mark in the downswing and don't try to hit the ball from the top. his is the main plan in teaching of Dave Thomson. ‘With their more advanced pupils such masters of the game as Armour and Fred McLeod stress the weight shift, begun by a general shift of weight to the right, preceding the actual lifting of the clubhead. But they don't try to teach a fat man shaped like a barrel to do much weight shifting, such as can be done by a man with a 33-inch waist. To him they advise a straight pivot, if he can pivot at all. RMOUR, for example, holds with his brother Tommy that a golf ball is hit with the hands, and that all the other factors of pivot, weight movement, footwork and shoulder rota- tion must be subordinated to proper hand action in the golf swing. Con- gressicnal members often have heard Sandy say: “Fine rhot. Your hands went right through the ball that time.” Yet how many teachers pay any atten- tion to the work that the hands must do to hit a golf ball straight and far. Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase, one of the keenest of the students of the game, insists that Bobby Jones' amazing straightness and consistency came be- cause at the bottom of the arc of the Jones swing his clubhead moved in the direction of the hole for a longer dis- tance than that cf most golfers. He had it figured out that Jones' driver was moving straight in a line toward the hole for a distance of 2 feet or more. “This is the reason,” said Bob, “that the pivot, the hip-sway, pronation :‘hd tehe other intricacies which ooly Jones is so straight. I try to keep mine moving the same way,* -] b. W. TENNIS CARD SHOWS 8 MATCHES Two at Pittsburgh Depend on Weather—Catholic U. Grid Squad Great. IGHT matches have been planned for the George Washington tennis teams by Coach Max Farrington. Two of them, though, are tentative, but Duquesne and Pitt will be playea in Pittsburgh on April 7 and 8, re- spectively, if the weather permits.

ATHOLIC U. and Maryland, as part of their Spring practice drills, staged an hour’s scrimmage at College Park yesterday, with the Brook- landers’ more veteran and more im- pressive squad having much the better of the going. In fact, “Dutch” Berg- man has as sweet a bunch of grid ma- terial as has been presented in these parts in years. A good many of his freshman recruits appeared to advan- tage with Sniscack, & rookle fullback, ripping his way along in steamroller fashion. Tom Gearty gained most of the other ground. Maryland used practically all rookie linemen and some of them impressed. A particulary pleasing feature was the work of the ends, Ennis, Stalfort and Bernie Buscher, all freshmen. It was at the ends that Maryland had its greatest trouble last year. Sachs, a rookie back, also played strongly. | == | G!ORGE WASHINGTON also is busy | with foot ball practice, but has found the basin, where it is doing its drilling, not in condition very often recently. As a consequence, the Colon- fals have been indoors as much as out. Coach Pixlee is giving his main at- tention to the finding of ends as the three men who did most of the wing work last Fall are missing. Kline, form- er Cornell star, and Leemans, a flash from Oregon, have impressed in the backfleld. Rhoes, former Tech player, is one of the leading candidates for the guard jobs.

Kirkwood has put on his exhibition at least twice around Washington, but the show is al- ways a novelty and is worth seeing many times over, if only for its dex- terity.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLE! The pollution of the Potomac has been a much discussed subject for years. The press has printed warnings to children against wading in Rock Creek and to adults against bathing in the Potomac. Dr. M. D'Arcy Magee, president of the local chapter of the 1. W. League, recently asserted a tea- spoonful of water of Rock Creek is suf- ficlent to menace the health of a child and the Office of Public Buildings and Parks proclaims its polluted condition by posting “no bathing permitted” signs. trollable when and if the general pub- lic recognize that a river or stream is not a sewage outlet or discharge ditch excavated by nature for the sole bene- fit of community or industry.

S. BY DILLON GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. TLANTA, March 28.—Honors in the South’s Winter golf tourna- ments for women have been shared by Maureen Orcutt and Mrs. O. S. Hill and a couple of British girls, Diana FPishwick and Kathryn Garnham. Although Mrs. Hill, the Kansas City, Mo, veteran, won three tournaments, this probably was her worst Winter season in several years. : She started brilliantly and then ran into & slump, while the reverse was true of Miss Orcutt. The girls from overseas won one tournament each, but these were major events. ICTORIES came to Mrs. Hill in the Miami Biltmore, the Bayshore Lagorce and the Florida women's champlonship. She won handily from Miss Bea Gottlieb of New York, 5 and 4, in the La Gorce event and defeated Miss Orcutt by the same score in the Florida women's championship. Miss Orcutt won the Augusta invi- tation and the Old North and’ South tournament at Pinehurst, N. C., after defeats in Florida. She beat Mrs. Hill. 2 and 1, at Augusta, and won from Miss Bernice Wall of Oshkosh, Wis., 5 and 4, at Pinehurst. Miss Orcutt’s game was excellent in both the events. Miss Fishwick, the British closed champion, won the Belleair event over Miss Barbara Pyman, another of the visiting English girls, who had beaten Mrs. Hill in the semi-finals. Miss Garnham triumphed in the Florida East Coast matches over Miss Frances Williams of Allentown. Pa. The early rounds of this event saw a series of upsets as Miss Willlams de. feated Miss Orcutt, Miss Pyman wol over Miss Fishwick and Miss Frances Hadfleld of Milwaukee downed Mrs. Hill. | Miss Williams won the South Atlantic title at Ormond Beach from Mrs. Stew- art Hanley of Detroit. 'I'HE Augusta event brought a promis- | ing youngster in Miss Kathryn Hemphill of Columbta, S. C.

THOMAS. IPPLES from the rock of R optimism tossed into the economic pond by Presi- dent Roosevelt have spread to the bowling business. It was confidently predicted to- day by men in close touch that | the twenty-third annual tourna- ment of the Washington City Duckpin~Association, to be held | at the Lucky Strike, starting April }24, would approximate last sea- | son’s record éntry of 410 teams. | “It's surprising,” said Arville Eber- | sole, secretary of the association, “how | the leagues are lining up for the tour- { nament. We are having more general co-operation than ever before in the last seven years, or as long as I've been secretary.” | — BERSOLE a month ago feared for the tournament. Year after year it has made heavy increases. This time a sharp drop was threatened. In starting recently ore his annual tournament sales campaign the secre- tary was armed as never before with | arguments. He found he needed few. “We'll be with vou as usual,” he has heard from virtually all league leaders— and bowling alley managers. The bowling fraternity seems to have accepted the economic situation as a | challenge to the sport and responded i accordingly. | JROR many years duckpin enthusiasts have boasted their sport claimed | more participants than all the other | major games played here put together. | There are more bowling alleys in Wash- {ington than in York City, but in the big town, which has ever so many more potential customers, pin plants |are closing. Here there has yet to be a fold-up. The game is said to be better off in the Capital than in any other city. This does not mean the game hasn't | suffered. It has lost nearly a score of leagues, including the Commerce De- partment, General Accounting Office, Internal Re . Post Office. Trans- portation Bi g and the Southern Railway Clerks. | RUT the loss is not permanent. There are assurances all will be back next season. Some have regretted they disbanded and a large portion of their members have carried on in other leagues. As Charley Bell, Convention Hall manager sees it: “The game hasn't lost in number of players—it's merely people don't how! as much. I believe there has been a pick-up this season in 1y among young peo- I've had more applications for city tournament entries than last season |from folks who haven't bowled in the | tournament before.” Ebersole today is mailing booster let- | ters to every team captain in the city, |as well as others who might help pro- mote the tournament. In the next week he will have completed a tour of all establishments in the metropolitan area. | The lists will close Saturday mid- | night, April 8.

Sarron to Stalk BY FRANCIS E. STAN. WARTHY Pete Sarron, bronzed fistic product of Dixie who bat- tled his way, in less than 14 rounds, into popular favor among ‘Washington fight fans, tonight will attempt to hurdle obstacle No. 3 in his “comeback” campaign when he en- gages clever Miki Gelb of New York in Alexandria's little punchbowl, Port- ner’s Arena. They are scheduled to fight eight rounds. In Gelb, fast-moving Hungarian- Jew, the 127-pound Southerner who chose to begin his ring career anew at best opponent he has contracted to box since a neuritis attack forced him to forgo the fight racket over a year ago. Gelb represents the caliber of fighter Just short of featherweight title class and the bounding little Syrian from Birmingham is confident that if he can hurdle Jimmy Bronson’s protege he will be able to hold his own with the division’s best—Freddy Miller, ‘Tomy Paul, Kid Chocolate, Baby Ariz-. mendi and Seaman Watson.

Landers and Dougan are two bantamweights | who have appeared at Portner’s in main events in the past and appear almost evenly matched.

Dougan won four fights in a row, lost to Eddie Burl, and since has been in retirement. It promises to be a battle of right hands. Either is capable of kayoing the other.
