18TH k. D. WIN
FOR D. c. BOXER

Joe Smallwood. the terrific-punch-
ing welterweight. added another vic
tim to his ever-rising kayo string
when he flattened Freddy Mutter In
the sixth round of their fight last
night at Richmond, Va. Small
wood shot across his crushing right
that sent Mutter crashing to the
canvas and the referee tolled the
fatal ten.
1t was Smallwood's 9th knock
out in 80 fights, and the chap is
rapidly gaining prominence. It's
about time, though, that his handlers
were sending him up North in quest
of bigger game.
Smallwood is scheduled to clash
with Jack Rohahan in the eight
round feature bout at Norfolk, Va.
ca Wednesday night. The Wash
ington mittman is such drawing
card that he is being given the
top spots.

shots off the fairway, but in learn
ing how to drive. The brassie ord1-
narily has a somewhat sitter shaft
than the driver with the result that
there is greater opportunity to &C.
uuire control and then. too, the
brassie, being lofted a trifle more
than the driver, aids in getting the
ball up into the air and that inspires
confidence. Confidence is what most
poor golfers lack.
They approach the game with
the feeling that it is difficult
one to learn and as result they
try so terribly hard that they
become as stiff rs fence posts
when they should be relaxed.
l always advise the use of low
tees. Low tees accustoms one to
playing the lies that one finds on
the ordinary fairway.
1t is sound policy to confine your
practice to these two clubs-the
brassie and midiron-for the first
couple Of weeks, assuming that you
practice an hour or so several times
week. If you want little diver
sion there is no particular objection
to your going over on the putting
green.

He got himself into a desperate

1t stands to reason that II direc.

play there should be less body

firm belief that they have to pivot

the putt. would like to state
definitely here and now that .,fyot.e

hind old Jack SCOTS brawny right

Cast adrift from the Philadelphia
Nationals and the majors last fall,
Scott found q haven among Casey
Stengel's Toledo American associ-
alton team and has exceeded every
expectation. At the end Of the
ninth week Of play, unofficial aver
ages released today, show he leads
the association pitchers with eight
victories and one defeat.
The single defeat was chalked
against him at the start of the sea-
son when the Mudhens were deep in
q losing streak. Last week, he in
creased his leadership by winning
two more, while his closest rival,
Wingard Of Milwaukee, dropped one.
Freddy Heimach, another major
castoff, lost two more games dur
ing the week and dropped several
notches from the top with II VIC
tories and 5 defeats.
Although Jersey joe Strip Of
Columbus held his lead in the race
for individual batting honors dur
ing the ninth week, the field gained
on him. Elmer Voter, who was sent
by the Cubs to Minneapolis, added
S. points to his average and jumped
from nineteenth to fourth place.
The ten leaders: Strip, Columbus,

While pounding its way to leader
ship in games won and lost, Toledo
added four points to its team bat
ting average during the ninth week
and increased its lead in that de-
partment with total percentage of
.S09. Columbus remained in second
place although it dropped three per-
centage points. In team fielding,
