British golfers admit Americans
are deep students of the game. Yet
they are loath to grant US the con-
ception of new ideas. Last year.
for example, the free pivoting of
Bobby Jones, a phase of play that
gave him great accuracy with dis
tance, struck them with such force
that they are copying it. Yet
Bobby is not credited with the dis
covery. Harold Hilton claims that
Vardon and John Ball long ago
employed this same style and that
it was responsible for their marked
superiority.
Hilton also is inclined to the
belief that Americans got their
free pivoting ideas from some Scot
school, probably Carnoustie. where
the Smiths-Alec, the late Willie
and Observation-Disclosures bred.
Certain it is that Alec, United
States open champion in 1906 and
1910. employed the free pivot even
before those dates. And we know
that Clarence Hackney. former
Canadian open champion, from the
same unpronounceable town, uses it.
The illustration of Jones at the
top of wooden shot and Alec
Smith at the top of a mashie ex-
plain the free hip pivot. Both have
rotated their hips until they all
but point to the ball. Many stars
employ it. But few of them stand
with their feet so close together
as Bobby. That is one reason why
YOU see him come up on his toes
on his follow through.

WIDE WOULD BREAK
EMILE MARK TODAY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May R).-
Granted favorable conditions, Edwin
Wide, Swedish schoolmaster and run
ming marvel, was confident today that
he could shatter the world cinder-
track record for . miles in a time
test at Harvard stadium.
He hopes to negotiate the distance
in minutes fiat, or l 2-5 seconds
faster than he stepped in Berlin last
September when he set the all-time
mark in competition with Paavo
Nurmi.
Three of Harvard's best distance
men will be entered against Wide.
All will be given handicaps.
Wide wants to cover the initial mile
in 4:28 and the second in 4:32 with
the following possible times for the
Halves: oil, 2:19, 2:19 and 2:13.
The hour for the race will depend
on weather conditions, but has been
tentatively set for 4:45 o'clock, stand

AMERICAN NETMEN
JOLT GERMAN DUO
By. the Associated Press.


BERLIN, May while disap-
pointed at the showing of their tennis
stars against Bill Tilden and Francis
T. Hunter yesterday, German tennis
fans focked to the Red and White
Club today to witness the doubles
match, feature of the second day of
the international tournament,
Despite criticism by some sports
writer's over the selection Of players
for the German team, the tennis asso-
citation adhered to its plan of using
Dr. Heinz Landmamn and Helnrlch
Kleinschroth in the doubles.
Landmann fell before Hunter in yes
terday's opening singles match by the
straicht-set score of Go. 81, 81.
Tilden took the other singles from the
veteran Otto Froitzheim at 6-3, e.,
6-4.
These defeats of Germany's best
are generally taken in good part by
the tennis fans and press. The critics
consider that FroitZheim gave good
account of himself against Tilden. but
that Iandmann, who defeated Vincent
Richards last year. was a distinct dis
appointment against Hunter.
Judging from the published com
ments, the defeats will lead to much
self-searching criticism within the Ger
man Tennis Federation. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the Germans
failed to train as Systematically as
| the Americans and also were not given
able enough training partners.
Germany learned much yesterday,
especially how disastrous it is to have
been absent from international tourna-
ments so long" is the consensus of
the newspaper comment.

CHICAGO, May 7.-Ty Cobb. who
will be out of base ball for several days
because of an injury suffered in an eX-
hibition game at Buffalo yesterday,
may have had a short vacation in
store anyway-the result of his clash
with an umpire at Philadelphia Thurs
day.
American League headquarters here
said that action on Cobb's alteration
with Umpire Emmett Red Ormsby at
Philadelphia after the arbiter had
ruled foul a hit that Cobb and 5000
fans decided was home run, would
be withheld until Ormsby's report was
received.
President Ban Johnson was out of
town, but his secretary said that the
report would be forwarded to him at
once.
Kenesaw NJ Lands, commissioner
of base ball, said he knew nothing Of
ficially of the Philadelphia incident
and that the American League presi-
dent would handle the case.
Cobb strained a tendon in a slide to
second at Buffalo and may be kept on
the side lines a week or ten days. His
