rive and Kozeluh is allowed to pit his
marvellous skill against the leading anna
teurs Of the game.
What treat it will be to see him in
action against playes like Tilden, Co
Chef, Lacoste, Borotra, Hunter. Van
Ryn, Doeg and the other we'll known
figures in the game! I believe these
players will receive the surprise OF their
lives when they tackle Kozeluh in open
competition.
One cannot realize what a remarkable
player Kozeluh really is from just
watching him in action. His easy style
Of play and ability to cover court with
apparently no effort whatsoever leads
many to believe that he is just an ordi-
nary player. After once playing him in
a match that belief is Immediately dis
PEELED, for do not know OF any one in
the game today who Is more OF the
super-player than this visitor from the
other side.
Incidentally, judging from the enthu-
Siastic demonstration OF the 5000 who
witnessed KoZeluh and myself in the
final match at the West Side Stadium
last Saturday, professional tennis is at
last coming into its own. The pro asSo-
citation cleared a nice profit on the
tournament, and are arranging some
interesting events for next season.
They Are the Best.
One very important item that now
seems assured, due to the success of last
weeks tournament, is the bringing over
next season of such we'll known profess
SIGNALS as KoZeluh. the Burke brothers,
Much, Ramillion, Plaza and Negro.
These players are the best Of the
European professionals, and should Gre
ate a real sensation when they are seen
in action in the United States. They
will probably be over here next season
for the professional championship. and.
of course, would play in an open" II
one is arranged.
understand that there will be pro-
fessional championship next season
both in Chicago and on the Pacific
Coast, which would mean that the hard
working pros will be kept pretty busy.
am very glad that there will be more
than one tournament held next season
for the professionals, because one of the
greatest evils the professionals have to
contend with at the present time is lack
of good, first-class competition. That
match with Kuzeluh last Saturday, for
I had not played one set before real
lied how rusty was from lack OF match
competition.
It is almost an impossibility to teach
tennis all Summer and then go right
into a championship tournament. A
player must have one or two tourna-
ments in order to bring his game up to
a fair standard. With three or four
professional tournaments on the sched-
ule and perhaps an open" to top 1t of,
the professionals should be able to raise
the standard of their games to very
high level.

- AKLAND HILLS COUNTRY
N Il. L.. L. al

~ AkLAND HILLS COUN1H4
CLUB, Birmingham, Mich,
October Oakland Hills is
~ the sort of golf course where
pitch shots are in high de-
mand and where the run-up method of
reaching the green is fairly well barred
because of the numerous traps. Which
explains why the games of a consider
able number of the 90-odd woman play
ers who competed in the qualifying
round Of the womens national golf
championship suffered to some extent.
Women prefer the run-up to the
pitch shots. Women are handicapped
when in traps. There are more traps
here than the ranking woman golfers
have encountered in number of tour
naments, and the traps are more skill
fully placed.
It's Not the Drive.
Walter Hagen recently was discussing
woman golfers. He does not think their
scores will ever compare with those OF
man golfers. You may agree with him
and you may think 1t is on account OF
the lack of distance the women get of
the tees, but he says: you don't have
to get long drives to play par golf" So
1t is not that.
where women are weak in golf Is
where they should be strong" says
Hagen. "They are weak in approach
shots. and their putting is, as a rule, not
good"
On one occasion leading golfer said:
1--WE drive for pleasure, but we putt for
O livelihood"
Some credit the remark as being orig
inal with Hagen; others attribute 1t to
Tommy Armour; others to Johnny Far
rell. But, regardless Of who the author
was, 1t has been found worth repeating
on numerous occasions, and it Is worth
mentioning here In connection with
women's golf. Hagen referred to 1t in
discussing woman golfers.
you would expect women to excel In
approach shots and in putting. where
touch becomes such an important fac
tor. But you find few women who have
good iron play, and can think of only
one whom would call a f1rst-class
putter.'

RerQdpS one OF MS greatest as
sets is the fact that he can keep
an even gait throughout hard
five-Set encounter. He has none
of the ups and downs which are
the greatest enemies that most
players have.
Throughout the entire week of the
professional championship Kozeluf
played the same even tennis, no matter
who opposed him. Against me on Sat
urday he never once had a let-dowr
during the match. I started out very
badly and lost the first two sets before
was able to find the range of the court
Not Quite Good Enough.
However, at the start of the third sci
I began to get my drives and volleys
working, and I really believe that dur
ing the last three sets was playing the
best tennis have ever played in match
competition. That it was not good
enough to win the championship Is
ample proof of the great ability of the
Professionalism.
It is hard to believe that you could
have a player match point on four diff
ferent occasions and lose the match
but that is just what happened to me
last Saturday. I think there are two
reasons why this happened. First OF
all, on the first match point that had
got cramp in the left leg that both
cred me bit: secondly. the great
amount of running that Kozeluh forced
me to do in the early stages of the
match left me close to exhaustion in the
fifth set.
The first thing that happens when
you get this way is that the eyes go
of bit, which probably was the reason
I missed an easy volley and an over
head smash that would have given me
the match and the championship.
It must also be remembered that on
one of the match points Kozeluh made
a beautiful back-hand drive down the
line as I came rushing into the net. !
do not believe that another player in
the game would have tried such dar-
ing shot at such critical period of a
match. 1t was great test of nerve for
a player to do this. and dispelled all
doubt as to Kozeluh's match playing
ability.
AS I have previously written in my
articles, I believe that there are only
two players in the world today capable
of extending Kozeluh in tournament
competition. Henri Cochet is one, and
If am in good form I may be able to
do it. The reason for this Is simple
enough. Both Cochet and myself are
always working IOr the net, So DIS W NC
in position for the final kill.
He's Baseline Proof.
If Kozeluh is to be beaten at all. 1t
will only be from the net. There is not
a player living who can hope to defeat
him from the baseline. Even Rene La
coste would find it impossible to cope
with the Czech from the rear of the
court. Only player with a super-net
game and an extremely good overhead
can worry the worlds title holder in
match play.

Taxed, free and loose.
Do a waggle and clog dance on
the tee before swinging to insure
this relaxation. Then get the sense
of throwing the club head through
the ball. Concentrate on throwing
it through and worry not about
whether the left hand, left arm, left
foot or left side begins the back
swing. What matters it as long as
you can swing through and hit far
and straight? Concentrate on the
points that compel you to hit
straight through the ball for mat
ter of q. foot or so before and also
after contact. Tolley has a tip here
that may help. It will be explained
next.

INSISTS HE'S NOT
! BIT DOWNHEARTED
Like a Horrible Nightmare,
Was Tommy's Reaction
to K. o. by Sharkey.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,
Retired Undefeated Light Heavyweight
Champion of the World

~ WEN a little time after the
shock of being knocked out for
the first time in my life, I've
~ begun to analyze that fight of
mine with Jack Sharkey.
When I first came to myself, walking
toward the dressing room, my heart
went clear down into my shoes. 1t
seemed impoSsible-a horrible sort Of
nightmare. Nobody had ever knocked
me out. How was it possible for Jack
to keel me over for the long count? He
was not so hard hitter as several men
had met.
Now I'm feeling better about it. This
setback doesn't dent my confidence in
myself one bit. Why should it? Pretty
nearly every champion has gone through
that experience. The fact that waited
IL years before it happened to me
doesn't change the situation in the
least.
Couldn't Do It Again.
The ending was much the same as the
one between Willie Jackson and Johnny
Dundee, when John was knocked abso-
lutely cold for the first and only time in
his life. They fought half a dozen
times thereafter, and Jackson never
even came close to doing that trick
again.
I'll get a return bout with Sharkey.
To get into the ring with him again I
am quite willing to fight my way
through any heavyweights the promoters
and public want to pit against me. 1t
doesn't matter who they are-Phil
Scott, Otto Won Porat; anybody at all.
My aim and direction is to go through
the lot-if necessary, to try my luck
with Scott.
The unexpected result hasn't changed
my conviction that I had the proper
style and condition to beat Jack. I'm
Offering no alibis, you understand. A
lucky punch is one that should have
been blocked and wasn't. Next time
there won't be lucky one, or an I'M
lucky one. either.
Admires Gob's Right.
Sharkey is smart smacker with that
right hand of his, and there is lots Of
steam back of the left, too but the first
round showed that he could be kept OF
balance with jab and made to miss.
Some people have criticized my COM
ing in at 1862 pounds. They said it
was too heavy. that my speed would be
cut down. That wasn't true. There
was nothing wrong with my speed, was
there? If the bout had gone farther, 1t
would have been more evident. I never
felt better in my life nor more conf
cent.
And I can say right now. as the Brit

over Hagen in match play in Eng

ing back his club that his whole left
side turns with it. Bobby Jones
says the same thing. Others dis

ly-COnflicting Reports May
~ Both Be True

Although it is midseason, when all
roads should be at their best, the
Minnesota Highway department re-

of the state about bad roads Very
often it receives conflicting reports
about the same highway, one person
declaring he found it very good and
another insisting sit was so rough

The uninitiated would naturally
think that one of the two is telling
big one" But Commissioner C. M.
Babcock and his associates in the de-
partment after several years invest
igating complaints about bad roads,
declare that good and bad reports
about the same road may be true.
"Unpaved roads, carrying heavy
traffic are never the same" Mr.. Bah
cock points out. when weather is
favorable, with just enough moisture
to hold the surface material together,
and when the maintenance outfits
have just gone over the road, gravel

Within a few hours, especially if it
happens to be at the weekend with
it's heavy traffic, the same road may
become a gaint dashboard. Some
one who drives over the road Sunday

Tuesday the maintenance crews have
been over the road and made it nice

the traffic usually grinds up the sur

At such times the surface will not

ton, discovering the largest alcohol
still ever captured in southwestern
Minnesota, and the second largest yet
taken in the northwest, according to
the Slayton Herald.
The plant was one of the most COM
plete they have ever seen, the agents
declare, and estimate the value it
at not less than $15,000.0O.
Brake bought the farm last year.
He lives with his parents just across
the line in Mobiles county, and build
ings on the farm are apparently un-
occupied. Living quarters were ar
ranged in the barn, however, and
Brake and his hired hand no doubt
used them. -.
Owners of the still spared no ex-
pense in protecting themselves. Elec-
trio buzzers announced the approach
of any vehicle. A long tunnel some
$50 long, led from the barn to a straw
stack. Operators hearing the buzzer
could leave the premises through the
tunnel and escape into the distant
field, hidden from view by the straw
stack, grain and weeds.
Two huge cookers and several man,
moth watts made up part of the equip
ment. These were built in the shape
of a silo, and all but one of them
were full of mash. Capacity of the
seven watts was 10000 gallons. The
still, according to the agents could
make three hundred gallons of the
finest grain alcohol daily.
The agents found 800 gallons of
alcohol, about thousand empty al
cohol cans, AZ sacks of sugar and a
large quantity of lack strap molas-
SEES and malt syrup.
Though they captured none of the
operators on the premises, the agents
saw three men run from the straw
stack to nearby house. They trac-
ed their footsteps through an oat
field and placed them under arrest.
Those apprehended are Albert Brake,
Robert Voss, and brother-in-law of
the former, and a hired man. They
were taken to the Pipestone county
Jail and will be taken to Mankato.
Dismantling of the still and the
equipment has already started. So
large is the plant that the agents es-
innate it will take them a full week
to wreck it. The costly copper will
be sold to some junk dealer.
Agents say the operators will be
tried under the Jones law; which
means five years and fine of SIC, 900.
If they plead guilty, however, the
sentence will be but two and one-half
years.
