SPORTS, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY - Star Athletes Blend Wrists, Body : Harlow Colorful Golf Booster NOTENSIONNOTED IN SPORTS GREATS DI Maggio, Budge, Snead Are Fine Examples of Free- Action Performers. RY GRANTLAND RICF. | EW YORK, July 17.-Three | voung fellows have come into | sport in the last year and all three are due to write their share of aporting history before the 0ld doc known as time lifts a beckon- ing finger. | Their names are Joe Di Maggio, DPon Budge and Sam Snead. Thm" play three different games—base ball, tennis and golf -and yet when it eomes o action they are set in just about the same pattern. | This means they are on the loose, free side when it comes to wrist and body action. They have the working blend due to not tightening up, espe- | eially in body and shoulders, where & much trouble starts. Pew under- | stand that tautness or tension in the | lege and body extends also to the hands and wrists, valuable factors and actors in any form of sport where & bat or club or racket is used. These three give you the impre #ion of leg and body freedom—a cer- | tain litheness—which in turn gives the hands and wrists their chance. Thix ix especially true of Di Maggio and Snead, whose bodies seem to be completely elastic through the swing. Rody. Hand Action Blend. l)l MAGGIO has unusually strong wrists—and they also are elas- | tir wrists. You get little impression of hady aid because Di Maggio's body action responds to his hand action He doesn’'t let his body throttle his hands and wrists The same is true of Snead. who hits the ball tremendous distances with Jittle show of extra effort At Oakland Hills T saw Snead wade into heavy rough and carry a bhunker 170 vards away with a 7 iron. Un- der this condition tension in legs and bhady would have killed off mast of the hand and wrist action needed to whip the club head At such high speed Eddie Loos once gave me a valuable tip in golf. “The main reason for | gripping the club largeiy in the fin- gers,” he said. “is this—it makes the wrists more pliable. Most golfers are entirely too stiff in their forearms. You can keep & firm grip with fingers and hands and still have an elastic feeling in wrists and forearms. You | will find that hand and wrist tension | nuseual starts from feet, legs and | body.” This is true. But you see no xzn of leg or body tension on the part of Di Maggio. Snead or Budge, who are on the willowy side. Feller Needs Wrist Control. ‘AN OUD-TIME group began talking | about the best wrist action among ball plavers. We agreed on three at| the start—Larry Lajote, Frank Schulte | and Joe Jackson. All three were looser | than ashes. Schulte was on the | slighter, slender side, and yet he hit | more than 20 home runs one season | with the deader ball. Jackson was the | best. all-around hitter who ever lived. I saw him scoop up & low curve one | day from just above the dirt in front of the plate and lift it over the flags fiving above the grandstand roof of the Polo Grounds—out into the street | bevond. Trix Speaker was another who had | fine wrist action. So did Babe Ruth. Rut Joe Jackson was the top in this | respect. Lajoie, Jackson and Schulte | all gave you the impression of being completely relaxed at the plate. When Bob Feller gets his wrist ac- tion working under better control he will be even harder to hit. At the age of 18 he naturally is on the tense side. | He uses too much extra effort in his pitching, and this beyond any argu- ment brought about his lame arm. This also accounts for most of his wlld streaks, which he will correct in time if nothing more happens to his arm. He will find this better wrist aetion through a more relaxed body | and a calmer mental state. Al Must Be Physically Relaxed. K NUTE ROCKNE used to say to his team: “T want you mentally keen, but physically relaxed.” This is & tough order. Those mentally keyed | up are also physically keved up most of the time. Yet most of the stars follow the Rockne idea. There is a big difference between being keen or alert—and over-anxious or over-eager. Mental attitude has a lot to do with phyaical action in any sport. Rockne’s fdeal of the mentally alert, but physi- eally relaxed. was George Gipp, who wax not even halfway tense when | throwing passes back of his own goal | line. | When it comes to wrist action in | €0lf, T doubt that any one had an | edge over Commodore Bryan Heard of | Dallas. The commodore is a wiry | Texan who never swung at & goif | ball until he was 48 years old. Yet | he shot his age in golf from 65 to 75, which ought to be & world's rec- ord. By this I mean that, when he was 85 vears old he turned in & 65— | & 68 when he was 66 years old, and | #0 on. He finally shot his 75 when | 7% years old, in spite of a motor| #ccident. that crippled him for & brace | of months. The commodore could | make his hands and wrists fairly hum when swinging the clubhead. And at €5—or even 70—he had the working wrists of a 25-year-old star. All in Co-Ordination. WHIZN you see smaller golfers such ® as Frank Strafaci hitting the ball up with 180 and 200 pounders— or beyond—you can figure they know bow to hendle hands and wrists—and you can also figure they know how to keep their bodies working with the same, Strafaci weighs only 128 pounds, but be was home on the 537-yard eight- eenth green at Oakland Hills twice fn two shots—and not many others were. Di Maggio and Snead will tell you they don't keep their bodics out of |- the swing—they merely make them biend with the lashing power of the wrists.

IMBLEDON, England, July 17.—While British tennis followers looked on with keen interest, little Bitay Assignments, assumed the role of key man in America's Davis Cup battle with Germany today. For the Britons it's a question of which nation probably will carry the trophy away from England. The winner in the interrone final, will face a comparatively weak English team in the chalienge round next week. And Grant may be the one to decide the question. The Atlanta ‘“glant killer” faced Baron Gottfried Von Cramm, who probably is the second-best player in the world, in the opening singles match today. Immediately afterward Bitsy's tall teammate, Don Budge, met Heinrich Henkel. The doubles match, Budge and Gene Mako vs.| Von Cramm and Henkel, will be played Monday. 1In the concluding | singles matches Tuesday Grant will Henkel and Budge will play | Von Cramm, Concede Two Wins to Don. F BUDGE can maintain the form he had when he won the all-Eng- land title at Wimbledon, he can carry the burden almost alone. English | critics virtually are conceding him two aingles victories and he and Mako | edged out the German pair in the| Wimbledon doubles. But a single slip by the California red-head would put is squarely up to Grant. | It wouldn't be anything very new to | Bilsy 1o be facing such a severe task. | Ever since he's been playing tennis— and he has been a big-time cam- | paigner for 10 years—he has been| taking on bigger, stronger plavers and | cutting them down to his own size. He admits he is not as good a player on turf courts as on clay, but he has beaten Henkel on Wimbledon's grass and carried the great Fred Perry to four sets at Forest Hills last year. | Grant wasn't expected to beat Von Cramm today, but there was more than A chance he would “soften up” the German ace for later matches.

For years he has been try- ing to make the Davis Cup team. When finally he was chosen, and helped whip | Australia, he came to England and ran into a series of heart-breaking set- backs. He was almost 100 sick to be- gin play in the all-England tourna- ment. Then he suffered a leg injury and it looked as if he would have to yield his place to Prankie Parker with. out an argument. | It was more or less a toss-up when finally he was chosen over Parker. | “Right now they are s0 close that| any choice would be little more than a guess,” said Walter L.

Surely he has been in the ideal position to produce same of the greatest treatises on the “royal game.” Perhaps he has found his approach to be over-technical. At least the recent 64-page paper-backed brochure, pocket size, titled “Chess In An Hour” is a step in the right direction. Listed as the thirty-first educational pamphlet of the Leisure League of America (New York), “Chess In An Hour” may reach a wide circle of readers, But let me warn the tyros that the introductory paragraph, which reads: “Anybody can learn to play chess. It is not such a dificult game as most people think. You can learn the moves in 15 minutes. In another 1§ minutes you can get the idea of the game, and you can play within the hour,” * ¢ * is just an introductory paragraph and no student of chess can take it seriously. FOR ® casual game visit the Social Chess Lounge, 1336 I street northwest, and if you are a beginner take up the copy of Marshall's most recent writing, lay your watch on one of the inlaid chesshoards and see if you can learn “Chess In An Hour.” Noted Foot Ball Coach Displays Some Home Tactics £ | SPRING LAKE FANS SUPPORT SUTTER Easily Erases Hall, Gains Favor to Win Hemphill Tennis Bowl.

C,, for the Eastern junior tennis championship at Forest Hills today. Although Heffuer had an easier time of it reaching the final round with a 6—4, 6—2 decision over Billy Gillespie of Atlanta yesterday, Fishbach's vie- tory over Robert Low earned him new backers for the title tilt. Low took the firat set, 6—4, but Pishbach, the lead- ing junior player of the East last year, rallied with 6—3, 6—2 victories. Heffner was seeded No. 2 for the tournament, Fishbach No. 4. Only the Fishbach victory could be termed an upset yesterday, however, for Heffner was the favorite over Gillespie, who was seeded 3. Low was the seeded No. 1 player. Edard J. Bender of Elizabeth, N.

THE plan at Congressional, briefly, “ is to make the first hole a par 4 affair around 400 yards; to con- struct & second hole of about 340 yards; to keep the second as it now is, to become the third hole, and to make the fourth & three-shotter around 485 yards, by eliminating the present third hole entirely and play- ing from near the present second green to the fourth green.

Bob was front man for the Haig during those mad, glorious years when slick-haired Walter was the cock of the profes- sional golf walk. They swanked their way up and down the world, picking up thousands of dollars, and at the end thev were usually busted. Harlow and Hagen made a team that, made the front page in every country in the world. Between Walter's color and Bob's yen for headlines they cemented a combination that got pub- licity in every rag that prints golf news. Harlow it was who steered ‘Walter through the mazes of British indifference to pro golf: Harlow it was (with Walter's help) who took the pros out of the locker room and brought ‘em into the salon. Harlow it was who dressed 'em up | in evening clothes and had them talk- | ing good English. And Harlow and Hagen who forced the British to ae- cept the American pros in the swank club houses of Britain. A Colorful Combination. \\'E COULD go on by the hour and tell tales of that combination, tales like the one about the time Hagen made the front pages of the Londen newspapers when he ordered fresh strawberries flown from France at a cost of $250 for his breakfast: of how he drove up to swanky Britith clubs in a motor car that cost not less than 15 grand. Of how Bob arranged & match with Archie Compston for 2.000 pounds. when Hagen hadn't hit, & golf ball for three months, and how Bob was tearing his hair here in Washington trying to get Hagen to leave Hollywood in time to catch a boat for Britain And how he finally got Hagen an the boat and how Hagen was licked by 18 and 17 and two weeks later won the British open.

In those days Bob was working for & cut of 15 per cent or thereabouts. They say Hagen has made & million But Bob hasn't shown any sign of having $150,000, or any- where near it. The guy is & marvel at anything eon- nected with golf promotion and the queer part of it is that all the money he's contacted over the years ap- parently none of it has stuck to his pudgy palms.
