B—10 SPORTS. Wood Tennis Boon TRAINER DRAPES ~ OPOUNDS ON HiM * McGovern Expects to Make Tough 160-Pounder Out of Frail Netman. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, March 23—They were lunching together more than four months ago, when Sidney B. Wood, jr., Ameri- ca's second-ranking tennis star, ad- dressed former Heavyweight Boxing Champion Gene Tunney: “Gene,” asked Wood, who is 23 years old, “how does a fellow go about building up his body?" ‘Wood, who is slated to draw a sin- gles assignment on the United States Davis Cup team again, had been handicapped in his court adventures by a frail physique. “Well, if you can't go into the mountains for half a year,” Tunney said, “turn yourself over to Artie Mc- Govern.” That was on November 15, 1934. Wood weighed barely 137 pounds. He has broad shoulders, a thick chest, slim waist and sturdy legs. “I saw in a minute,” said McGov- ern, “that he was the same type as Johnny Farrell, the former national open golf champion. He was weak in the middle. There were no mus- cular walls there to hold his stomach in place. It's a pretty common con- dition with most athletes except boxers.” Artie Gets Results. ¢GOVERN did put Wood on a diet. Smoking and all forms of alcohol were taboo. Wood was ordered to drink two quarts of milk between meals. Then McGovern put him through a light course of exercises with a gym- nasium wand, weights and medicine ball. Slowly the course was increased to running on a treadmill and bicycle riding. After the first month McGovern con- centrated on his charge’s midsection. | Wood sat on a stool 2 feet above the floor, slipped his feet in a pair of rubber braces on the floor and then leaned backward until his head touch- ed the boards. Then he straight- ened up. Interspersed with punching a heavy bag, making knots on a treadmill and routine calisthenics to limber up, Wood has been going through this form of abdominal exercise for the last three months, three days a week. “He weighs 146 pounds today and he’s as hard as a fock in the middle,” said McGovern. Tough in the Middle. S QUICK as a flash and without warning, McGovern shot a straight right into Wood’s stomach. without wincing. “Lay off “that stuff, Artie,” he said. “If my friends hear about it theyll | be making a punching bag of me.” At one stage of the course Mc- Govern worked Wood's weight up to | 148 pounds, a gain of 11 pounds, but he lost several pounds on a tennis trip to Florida. Wood is going to interrupt his train- ing for a trip to the Pacific Coast. He's leaving for California Friday and plans to spend a month in the sunshine, occasionally playing tennis with young Donald Budge and Gene Mako, mentioned as Davis Cup can- | didates, but for the most he'll rest and do setting-up exercises daily. “If he’s faithful to my instructions,” said McGovern, “he should come back weighing close to 160 pounds. That will give him the stamina and en- durance he needs.” Here are Wood's physical dimen- sions, before and now: Before. Now. Weight ... 1 146 Neck s y Chest, normal . Chest, expanded Waist Hips .

Helen Wills Moody, former queen -of the tennis world, batted a ball softly against a marked wall here today and an- nounced she was preparing for a comeback that will lead to national tournaments next year—“if every- thing goes all right.” Mrs. Moody, whose wall practice today was her third since her career on the courts was inter- rupted by an injury in Septem- ber, 1933, stated: “I'm not planning on any com- petition this year. I don’'t want to make any plans, because I might disappoint myself. If I do play it will be in local tournaments first. You know you can’t play in national tournaments until you're sure of yourself.

C., March 23.— 0. B. Keeler, world champion golf spectator and a veteran at dodging wild shots, suffered his first accident on a golf course to- day. a crack on the head from a bail while watching the Charleston open tournament. The Atlanta sports writer, who followed Bobby Jones to virtually all the former grand-slam cham- pions’ tournaments and probably has seen more championship events than any other man, was taken from the course with blood stream- ing from a cut on the back of his head. Within a short while, however, he returned and did a story. Keeler was near the sixteenth green, with his back turned to the play, when Harold McSpaden’s second shot, an iron which was sliced off line, struck him.

HARLESTON, 8. C., March 23. —Leading from the opening round, Henry Picard contin- ued his hot pace down the stretch today and came in the winner of the $3,000 Charleston open golf tournament, to the great delight of a wild gallery which surged over the Wappoo course in the wake of the former local pro. A 70 on his wind-up round of the 72 holes of play gave Picard, who left Charleston last December to take over the professional’s post at Hershey, Pa., the championship by a two-stroke margin over Johnny Revolta of Mil- waukee. Picard’s aggregate of 278 was five strokes higher than the winning total turned in last year by Paul Runyan, when the White Plains (N. Y.) mar- vel closed out with a 65. Victor Ghezzl, Deal, N.

March 23.—Under the masterful ride of Wayne Wright, the country's fore- most jockey, Benjamin N. | Kane's consistent 4-year-old Fidelis carried 118 pounds to a well earned victory in the Mayor Bacharach Handicap. named in honor of the mayor of Atlantic City, N. J., at Tropi- cal Park today. Wright brought the gelding home a length and a half clear of the Mul- vihill Brothers’ Beaver Dam after covering the one and one-eighth miles in 1:51 3-5, less than one second slower than the track record. Don Guzman, in the silks of C. W. Muller, vice president of Panama, was third in the field of seven. Don Guzman, which had won both | of his previous starts at Tropical, was the victim of the worst kind of racing luck. The Chilean jockey, Mike Villena, could not keep the 5-year- old gelding out of trouble. Three times the combination was blocked on the inside and by the time Villena got his mount free to run, it was too late. RETAIN TITLE ON MAT Oklahoma Aggies Capture Three | Championships in Meet.

Carleton Palmer's | Ghost Dancer, with Burly Cocks up, was third. There was one bad fall. F. Bell- | house, riding F.

Bellhouse was shot off him as by a catapult and Caniento, who was just behind, jumped over him, but struck him on the head with his hind feet. Bell- house was unconscious and taken to the hospital, but suffered no broken bones. The starters in this race were Thomas Hitchcock's Amagansett and Caniento, Carleton Palmer's Ghost Dancer, Mrs. T.

The | betting on Amagansett was 3 to 5, on Caniento, 5 to 1, and on Ghost Dancer, 2 to 1. The time was 3.39%. The second race, the Palmetto, 212 miles over brush, had only three entries; Argonaute, 2d, owned by the Northwood Stable and Bobby Davis, was the winner; Mrs. R. L.

The Spy and Aughrim Boy fought for second place for a while, but The § Aughrim Boy is small and he jumped his fences too high and cleanly, thereby losing ground. The betting on this race was 1 to 2 on the favorite, Argonaute, 2d. 2 to 3 on Aughrim Boy and 2 to 1 on The Spy. Easy for Santi Quaranti, HE third race, the Sand River, | about 2 miles over brush, was won easily by Thomas Hitch- cock’'s Santi Quaranti, ridden by Regan McKinney. Ray Wolfe on H. D. Kirkover's Rocky Shore was sec- ond, and Burly Cocks did a magnifi- cent job of staying on Carleton S. Palmer’s Marletotz, who walked and stumbled through every fence, finally bringing him through to third place. There were five starters. Atreus, S. A. W. Baltazzis’ horse, ridden by Lyman Wright, fell at the first fence, hurting neither himself nor his rider, and the Northwood Stables’ Pimochio, with Morgan Macy up, ran out at the last fence. The time was 3.4525. The betting on this race was unusual. The bookies had become so exhausted and depleted by the day's breaks that they bet even money on the entire field against Santi Quaranti, whom they rated at 1 to 2. Rocky Shore was 3 to 2 and Marletotz was 5 to 1. This loveliest of all the Carolina resorts, which was a flood of sunlight and bright flowering bushes, opened its arms to the visiting riders and trainers. There were lunches and dinners and dances. After the after- noon race there was a polo game. The Red team, with Cyril Harrison, Howell Howard, R. S. Bullock and William Post, 2d, played the Blues, Ivor Bald- ing. Seymour H.

Vaughan was hold- ing a one-minute timé advantage over the Mountaineer grappler, with only 40 seconds to go. Then he was thrown heavily and re- ceived a fractured shoulder. The Case wrestler refused to quit. Time was called and he re- turned to the mat, his helpless arm taped to his body. The West Virginian could have thrown Vaughan with ease. In- stead, he stood motionless until the time expired and Vaughan automatically won. Carried to the dressing room, the victor sent for Glass and in- sisted the West Virginian take the silver medal for second place. Glass refused. V. M. 1.

Have your dog in first-class condition physically, neither too fat nor too lean. A clear eye, an alert bearing and a coat that shines with health will carry one far on the road to winners. Have him trained to the lead, so he neither strains nor holds back. Teach him to stand at attention for a minute or two—a tidbit is the cor- rect reward for holding a pose. Ac- custom him to strange people, strange noises and strange dogs. In bathing a dog that has much white on him, add a little blueing to the rinse water to counteract any yellowish cast in the white. If your dog is one of the terrier breeds that needs much barbering, take him to an expert as long before the show as possible for the best results. ‘The Southern circuit consists of 10 shows beginning with Atlanta on March 29 and ending with Richmond just before the Washington show.
