inevitable. From this fact
springs the common theory that
it is ten times harder to forget
what you wrongly learn in the
first five years than it ever is
to learn to shoot good golf after

You actually never have to for

and the player who tries to will

stead Of casting anything out,
you have merely to add to your
store of knowledge, by learning
better and more effective
methods. All the fine players
were dubs at some time. They

learned that each particular shot,
no matter how simple it looked,
required pains and care, Golf

ARMY. DOUBLES
FINALS TODAY

There seems little or nothing to
be done about suppressing one Maj.
Robert C. VanVIiet insofar as win-
ming army tennis titles are con.
cerned. Although a bit anticlimactic
since his singles victory of Monday,
the good major is in there again to-
day battling for the co-pOssession
OF the doubtless crown. And. il you
take our word for it, he'll be CO.
owner of that title, too, by sunset.
Major Thomas Finley, of West
Point, is Van Vliet's doubles partner.
Arrayed against them are Major ].
Huntington Hills and Major J.. W.
Hobbs, both of washington. And
when the final point is scored this
afternoon undoubtedly the local pair
win be the ones doing the com
graduating.
Old friendships and partner
shin were dissolved yesterday as
the VanVlief- Finley team won
its semifinal match from Col
Wait C. johnson and the young
and brilliant Lieut.. Dave
Hedelkin.
Last year when paired with
Colonel Johnson, Major Van Vliet
and his partner easily annexed the
doubles crown. Yesterday by q
queer quirk of pairings they found
themselves opposed to one another.
Naturally one Of the two had to
take the short end Of the match,
and 1t was the good colonel and his
youthful partner who found after
an interesting four set match that
they would be spectators at today's
finals.
Altogether the tournament this
year, as well as those of past years.,
too, for that matter, has been
pretty largely a Van Vliet matter.
Flashing the same BRILLIANT form
that enabled him to win the singles
title, Van Yliet paired up spIendidly
with Finley and they played ire.
sistible tennis. Their team work
and, superior aIl-around play soon
had johnson and Hedekin in the
hole. And the hole simply kept
getting deeper as first Van Vliet
and then Finley shot over remark
ably well-placed shots for additional
points.
The other semi-final match found
the local duo of majors, Hills and
Hobbs, easily superior to the youth
full lieutenants, Robinson and Sher-
burne. The victory was, accom-.
plished in straight sets. In today's
match, however, it is hard to see
how the two local ma jors can hope
to do better than win more than a
single set.

Ira Flagstead, veteran out

In doing this the Elephants gained

Sox. The Yanks gained little So

were whipping the Hub City boys.
the st. Louis Browns were being
stopped by the Tigers, thus allowing
the Higgins outfit to~ease into Sec

The Athletics had an easy time of
it during the first clash with the
Senators, but found Sam Jones some-
thing else in the second.
Sad Sam made his only error
In the ninth when he intention

With the commission insisting that
Schmeling must play with Phil Scott
and the German vowfng that he will
fight no fights with which his dis
countenanced manager, Arthur Bu-
low, is concerned, the Garden cor
poration Is believed to be dallying
with the possibility Of revised pro-
gram. This, If put into effect,
would call for the following:
A non-title fight in September be-
tween Sharkey and Otto Won Porat
in the price range OF 81 to SIS.
This would square Sharkey for the
100000 contract he holds and,
while the fight might make
absolutely no money for almost
everybody concerned, 1t at least
would leave the garden that much
ahead Of the game.
Next, a Dempsey-Sc Schmeling fight
in Miami this winter, provided the
former forgets he is a census-taker
and settles down to figures that
can be read without eye strain.
Third, the two winners to meet
for the title late next summer.
There had been some talk of the
Garden buying BuloW new tricycle.
or something and thus clearing the
way for a Schmeling- -Sharkey fight
in September. But this would only
square Bulow, whereas the boxing
commission canat and won't be
placated until Phil Scott gets his
punch in the nose right in front cf
everybody.
They also were saying that the
Garden might take its fight out of
town, as Rickard did with his two
episodes of the Tunney-D Dempsey Sc
rial. But gambling like this with
Garden finances died with Rickard
and, fortunately so, because there is
no man now in the organization who
looks capable Of promoting a big
fight, even on the home grounds.
