FORCE

When a prize fighter hits his
opponent, you will notice that
he hits first and the weight of
everything he has follows. That
is the sort of hit you want IN
golf, but there is this great
difference-prize fighting is a
tense, tight, fighting sport;
golf is a relaxed, leisurely and
rhythmic one. Those who tell
you that golf is a fighting game
with gritted teeth and tense
muscles are leading you far
astray. You are not fighting
your opponent; you are meas
uring him and playing your
own shots accordingly.
The calmer you can keep
your spirits the surer you can
feel that you are playing good
golf and not a tricky, fighting
game. The five words | would
avoid in my idea of general
hitting are push, rush, force.

DROPPED
WrestIer's Loss of 20 Pounds
Causes Him Undue Grief,
1t Seems

Wayne Mum speaks of losing
twenty pounds as ii 1t were q
calamity. He is scheduled to meet
Stranger Lewis on Memorial Day
and wants to get back to 260
pounds for the match.
What are twenty pounds to q
man Of Munn's proportions? No
more than sixteen ounces to the
man of average weight.
Mum claims the shrinkage was
due to an attack of influenza end
tonsilitis. His illness. he says. be-
gan a day or so before he lost his
worlds wrestling championship to
Stanislaus Zbyszko.
Big men can drop rapidly In
weight and regain poundage just as
speedily. 1t is common for huge
linemen to lose twelve to twenty
pounds in a single football game.
If the day happened to be sultry.
the late Bob Maxwell would shrink
a dozen pounds while refereeing on
the gridiron.
Mum has nothing to fear in the
loss of twenty pounds, but II the
boys are going to wrestle and not
play around" then Wayne has
something real to worry about in
the form of Stranger Lewis.

TROoN, May 1s.-Great Britain

Chambers, one of the best Of the
British field. by eight up and
seven to play.
Miss Chambers was at the top
of her game and the invader, fight
as she would, didn't have a chance
after making the turn for home
Miss O'Gorman played excellent
golf in spots. but lacked the British
entry's consistency, which was ex-
traordinary in view of the mist
and drizZle that prevailed.
Miss Glenna Collett, former
American champion and leader Of
the invading trio, was inactive to-
day, having drawn a first round
bye. She will meet Miss NJ. Cox
in the second round tomorrow. Miss

Finn's "CommerciaIisn" Con-
fined to Trinkets From
Fair Sex

If there remained any doubt Of
Paavo Nurmi's honesty of purpose
in coming to the United States and
competing from coast to coast in
an unprecedented athletic tour, 1t
was dispelled from the minds of
Investigating authorities when they
quiZzed the famous Finnish runner
during the investigation into the
charges involving him and his
manager, Hugo Quist.
Nurmi was asked by r. w.
Ruben, national secretary OF The
A. "A. u, whether he had received
any money from any source other
than the expense allowance grant
ed by that official.
why. several ladies made me
gifts of some trinkets and souvc
Mrs; one insisted on giving me s.
to buy myself something, replied
the runner, obviously embarrassed
by making this revelation and ap-
parentiy somewhat fearful that 1t
might be held against him. But
that is all I've had"
If that is the extent of Nurmi's
"commercialism," the Finn, who
has been faced by more tempta-
tions than any other runner OF
modern times, is worthy of the
monument that is being erected to
him in the capital of his native
land.

RING SHOW
BerIenbach Is 7-to-5 FaVorite
to Win McTigue's Title
May 2o

NEW YORK, May 1S.-From
present indications. citizens to the
number Of 10000 will converge
upon the Yankee stadium on May
20 for the McTigue- -Berlenbach
worlds light heavyweight cham
pionship fight and the everlast-
ing benefit of New York's milk
less babies They, the citizens,
are and will be imbued with the
perverse idea that the proper
caper Is to weep at a wedding
and dance at a wake. They ex-
pect to dance.
Odds of Z to were being offered
along Broadway today that Berlen-
bach will lift the title and give
life to a division hitherto defunct.
There were no takers because
Broadway turned thumbs down on
McTaguea long ago and wants no
financial interest in his immediate
welfare
1t wants to see McTague and
his title banished forever from the
minds OF men so that Berlenbach.
ana OIll6I IlSlIS IIleI VI tIIS
ring may carry on with a pro
gram that will make the light
hea VyWeight class the most active
and popular on the fistic list
If Berlenbach becomes champion
he will be re-matched with Jack
Delaney and the winner Of that
frolic tossed in with Jimmy Slat-
terry who will come of age in
August and promptly take the po-
sition his ability deserVes-one OF
the leading big men Of the ring
today.
Everything. even the success Of
Tex Richards entire summer pro-
gram, hangs upon the facility, or
lack of same, with which Berlen-
bach hangs upon McTigue's jaw.
However. it might be mentioned
that McTigue has not been knocked
out in a career covering upward
OF 40 fights.
For the sake of keeping the
record straight, it might be men
toned that Berlenbach, the only
one punch man in boxing, has
scored twenty knOCkOuts in
twenty -four fights.
What, Professor, happens when
an irresistible force meets an inn
movable body? The answer will
be given at the Yankee stadium
on May 20.

FIVE MAGIC WORDS.
Copyright. John DiIle Co.

hitting are snap, crack, flick,
sling or slap.
The latter five should all be
done carefully, especially in
wind. They will all prevent The
ball floating over to one side
or another. Let the swing go
along easily until you feel The
solid contact. Keep poking the
shots firmly, cleanly hit, into
the imaginary direction line.
Remember the ball will wait for
the proper stroke. and try not
to be strong man with your
shot.
When the clubhead meets The
ball, do not quit there, but keep
on going through without los
ing rhythm. For the brassie
you must get down to the ball.
You must hit just far enough
under the center of the ball to
feel the clubhead, not yourself,
lift it. The hands at the time
of hitting the ball are even with
the vertical line. You should
not feel stiff at the time of
contact, but as if you were
gathering the shot, which should
be firm hit.
You should have an unmis-
taxable sense Of solid connec-
tion when the wooden face
meets the ball. If you are not
getting the clubhead on the ball
well, relax a little, and when
playing down wind, relax just
a little more.

New York to be itself.
Gotham fans have employed
professional divers to probe the
situation and make report to
the mayor and common council.
One or two expeditions have

The law of gravity has just
naturally pulled that old bark
down where all good ships even

will hear him ask to have the
Yankees thrown in for good
measure.
A year ago now the Athletics
didn't seem to be going any
where but this season they've
got their ticket validated at the
point of origin.
This isn't saying anything
about Washington either, which

That's the difference between
riding first-class and taking the

Boston has been in the sid

trains don't stop there except to
take on water.
Detroit is distinctly a tank
town too, except for the fact
that they still make very good
automobiles out there.
St. Louis means we'll, but they
built her for narrow gauge
tracks and they're not used any
more except for roller coasters.

Great Psychology
Students Are
These

Eddie Collins, Iris Speaker. Ty
Cobb, George Kelly and many
other great and near-great
hitters demonstrate, when they
carry up two, three and even
four bats to the plate before
hitting, how important a role
psychology plays in baseball.
The object of swinging sew
eral bats, while ION deck" Of
course, is to make the one bat
used in hitting seem lighter in
weight by contrast, and there
fore more easily handled. Where
psychology enters, however, is
in the mind of the hitter. AL
though his bat is naturally the
identical weight it was before
he swung the three bats, it
seems lighter, and therefore, to
all intents and purposes it il
lighter. 1t gives him more
confidence in himself in welding
it, for hitting, as Rogers Horns
by explains, is nine-tenths con-
fidence.
