MARBERRY, FSCHER MENACE EX-ATES Harris’ Club Rates Stronger Than Last Year—Indian Set Near Washout. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, May 4.—Detroit ‘ next stop. Immediately following today’s game— if any—the Nationals will Pead for the hive of the automo- $ive industry and lair of the Yigers, hoping to find bright skies end to play a lot of base ball. They need sunshine and action | after the loafing done here. During the Washington Club's stay there has been more gloom in this town than there was in Mudville after the tighty Casey’s historic strikeout. More rain today and the scheduled three- game serles with the Indians would be s complete wash-out. Weather permitting, there will be Shree games in Detroit between Na- tlonals and Tigers, for the set is slated to extend through next Sunday. They should be brisk battles, too, as Bucky Harris has & fine flock of pitchers to fiing at_ his old club and the Tigers also will have in the series an op- portunity to land in a spot more im- rtant than the one they now occupy i ihe standing of the clubs. They were only one and a half games back of the Nationals today. ITH a change in the infield and a revised outfield, the Tigers loom somewhat better this year %han last. Marvin Owen is back with e club after a lot of seasoning with oronto and Newark and playing a good game at third base. Bill Rogell is on the job at short again, Charley Gehringer is the same high-class sec- ond sacker and for several seasons he has been just about the best second- sacker in the business, while Harry Davis is said to be putting up an im- proved game at first base. Manager Harris is showing & new outfielder in Ervin Fox, brought up from Beaumont of the Texas League. Base ball critics out here declare he is making in every way. Jack Stone and Cerry Walker flank Fox, but Stone has been shifted from left field to right. Walker, who was not so | good in left last season, has at lasY.‘ become accustomed to that territory, | CCOT to reports. a ’l'hsn'l“lggers haven't been doing much hitting. They'Te no different from the other clubs in this respect. But they have moved along right well. ROMINENT among the pitchers Harris has at his command is Fred Marberry, long a Washington | standby. Fred not-only has done fine relief work for the Tigers in this early season, but also has won his spurs as a starter. He surely helped his old pals, the Nationals, as well as his new club last back the Yankees. George Fischer, another ex-National, also promises to get the Tigers some- where. And besides these former Wash- ington clubmen, the Tigers have such sterling veteran pitchers as Tommy Bridges and Vic Sorrell. Then there is that phenomenal youngster, Lynwood Rowe. Schoolboy, only 6 feet 4 inches tall, is powerfully built, and they do say this 21-year-old Texas lad can throw 'em by the best of batters. His #arm has been bothering him lately, but he may be in trim to show the Na- tionals his stuff.

Predicts They’ll Climb. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, May 4.—Will Har- ridge, president of the American League, is home after a brief visit through the Eastern half of his domain. And right optimistic, too, he seems. American League club owners, for the most part, are cheerful and believe that if Sum- mer ever arrives and there is any kind of a race in the league the turnstiles will spin well enough to make it a good year. “The Yankees still axe a mighty ball club,” sald Harridge, as if the Cubs didn't know. “Still they may have a battle to win and there still may be heat in the race when the fleld starts down the homestretch. “There is so much good pitching this season that even a team with the tre- mendous power of the Yanks may find it difficult to get far ahead. Washing- ton, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louls all have improved tching. Against any opponent the Yanl will run into en well pitched games to make their task difficult. “Washington is playing great ball and hustling for Joe Cronin, whose mana- luties do not appear to have af- fected his play. There is a well bal- anced team and it would not surprise ;.:h{q'lnveicmve the Yankees a good Harridge also is enthused over the Boston Red Sox. And that's something. “Notice that Boston is losing by smaller ma; this Spring?” asked the Ameri- can League boss. “Well, every one tells me they are hustling like no Boston team has done in several of the sea- sons. The club will get plenty of hit- ting and has some fine pitchers. It still is shy some muchly needed players, | # Z\ll: I think Boston is on its way out of ruck. The new owners are work- %Md to bolster the team and are going to succeed.” GE has no effect on the enthusiasm of Connie Mack. The old master of the Philadelphia Athletics con- fidently believes his team will be a fac- tor in the American League pennant fight. While admitting that the sale of Simmons has robbed the Athletics 204 Doee, | Of much hitting power Mack s cer. his new men will produce well enough at bat to keep the Athletics high in the first division.

ERE we have again one of the annual walls that help to| herald a new Spring. “Why is it,” writes a veteran golfer, “that after playing this game so many years I never improve? That my scores each season are just about the same? Why are me in Tespect? “You would think that one ought to get a little better each year. Each Spring I go out and alibi myself with the thought that after all I haven't had ppe: a game which lends itself easily to fixed faults and habits. It is a game where a fault quickly develops into a habit, and a fixed golf habit is about as easy to shake loose as the old man of the sea, using grap- pling irons. In golf there is a cause for every result. For example, if the average golfer starts out lifting ;he ‘:llilgl:nln&gfly ‘1'2!1 the right hand and s g down out- side fi line of flight, he is usually all fixed for a neat and tidy slice. Why doesn’t he correct this fault? The correction isn't so easy as it might seem to be, since the golf swing is supposed to be “one flowing motion,” s Alex Morrison calls it, and not a col- lection of parts thrown together. Lack of Concentration. IT is surprising how few golfers really concentrate on what they are doing, ‘They may be trying eral things, but their thoughts are rare- ety seo & goiter get set. for You ently see a golfer ge! the correct details of stance, grip and most which point he will start the back swing with & nl::btlr a quick left, and the entire worl low up. Or, he may have every detall fig- ured out, start properly and then sud- denly decide to take a quick look and find out what has happened—before it has happened. Most golfers think ahead of stroke. That is to say, they thi terms of results and not in te causes. They think of the bunker ahead, and not the swing that that bunker or trap or pond. A Famous Example. ERNARD DARWIN, the famous golf writer, tells a story on himself which {llustrates this point. He was playing in & hard match, try- ing desperately to win. He was doing almost 'wrong, working ve- hemently for certain results. He lost the first four holes and seemed to be on the point of collapsing completely. At this point he said to himself, “Well, if you can't play like a golfer, at_least try to look like one.” From that point he began to pick up lost holes and finally won out. 1t 1s the story of the ease and sim- plicity of the practice swing—of the old dandelion wallop. It would be a far simpler game if each player could only take his practice swing to the battlefield. The rest would be simple enough. A Helpful Tip. going over a group of suggestions, one furnished by Douglas Wesson found the greatest favor. It was this—“Just imagine the golf d DA DR & SPARKLING K Marvelous Mixer.

PAGE D—1 BLOSSOM AS AGES Unsuspected Hitting Ability Continues Parallel of Diamond Careers. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR. Assoctated Press Sports Writer, WO of the least important factors in one of the big- gest of last Winter's base ball trades, Fred Schulte and Sam West, have blossomed out as leading figures of the American League with their new teams, much to the surprise of practically everybody concerned. Schulte went from the Bt. Louis Browns to the Washington Senators and West reversed the route in the deal in which Goose Goslin, Walter Stewart Carl Reynolds and Lloyd Brown figured and drew most of the comment. There didn't appear to be much choice be- tween them. They are about the same age and size, each had been ‘Efi: league six seasons, Schulte comp! a .296 batting average over that and West hitting an even .300. HEN they were dropped into regu- lar positions this Spring both be- gan hitting at a terrific clip at a time when most of the other major league batters were taking their swings at Euzzung pitching _and then going back to the bench. Now Schulte is the leading batter of the league with a .397 average for 16 games, while West is ranked as his leading rival, batting .388 in 20 games. ‘West lost a good chance to gain on his rival yesterday as rain and cold weather forced the postponement of all but two major league games, including the Senators’ clash with Detroit. He ylelded with the rest of the Browns to the pitching skill of Ivy Paul Andrews, who hurled the Boston Red Sox to 6 to 1‘ :‘x‘mph to break a six-game losing streak. Sam_ did his share by clouting his third home run of the season, with empty bases, in the fourth inning, but Andrews allowed only five other hits. while the Sox buncHed blows off Bump Hadley for three runs in the opening and continued to hit at the important No one ever thinks of lurching “;momenu. Big Smead Jolley set the jerking the club back for a practice swing. The swing comes naturally, as a rule, because the player is thinking in terms of swinging, not in terms of dis- tance and direction. He is thinking in terms of cause—not in terms of some result. Nearly every golfer intends to correct certain bad faults or habits, but few ever do. Most of them, under the stress of competition, begin to allow for these faults—a slice or a hook—in order to reach some spot on the fdlrway. They are not willing to try correc- tions during a match round, and this is the most of the golf they get—golf in competition with a few pals who are out after the well known, or fairly well known, dough. This is one of the main reasons the average golfer’s game remains the same, year after year, whether it be 105, a 94 lor an 86. “There are few.” says Tommy Armour, “who can actually concentrate on any- thing longer than 30 seconds.” This is true. Then the mind begins its zigzag, twisted journey, leading to- wards no fixed goal. Just the thought of starting the back swing swoothly, without any rush or tightening up, would be a big help if the player could only concentrate on this one detail for every type of stroke. And yet the odds are that by the third or fifth hole this excellent reso- lution will be entirely forgotten in an a]nemplfd concentration on something else.
