The jinx that has trailed Ear

ton Braves, has struck again.
X-ray pictures disclose that Clark
suffered broken bone and finger as
a result OF being struck on his hand

a game at Boston on this past Mon.
day.
Clark. It is reported, will be on the
shelf for at least three weeks. He
will spend most of his unwanted va
alton at his home here.
His injury is most untimely,
as Clark was the leading bats.

plastefing the h0rsehide around
the $40 mark, with prospects Of
betteFing this figure, as he was
steadily climbing toward the
leaders.
The erstwhile District sandlot ace

HALF
SWING TO
HIT BALL
By George A. Simpson

Big Bill Wimsatt, whose
seven feet gives him the dis
tinction of the tallest golfer in
Washington, only half hits q
golf ball.
Only % years old, he has been play
ing the game for more than 10 years
and does the East Potomac Park lay.
out in the low sos. Though seldom
completing his full swing, Wimsatt
pushes the ball as far as any clouter
who sets foot on District courses.
His long arms give him a tremen-
dous advantage In this respect.
y However, the real reason for VIM
satt not placing his full force behind
each drive is q fear that he will be
off.1ine. He relates that up to re.
Gently he obtained great drives. but
was wild and never sure whether
he'd be miles away from his goal or
In q favorable spot.
TO curb this defect IN his
game. he decided to take d half.
swing and 10 concentrate on nc.
curacy. This change has pro-
duced results and Wimsatt has
sliced several strokes from his
score.
This akyscraper of golf claims
to have hammered one for SS5 yards
on mild day Mt East Potomac
Park six years back. Wimsatt was
the hitting meteor at East Potomac
Park then, but couldn't control llia
swats.
During the recent District public
parks championships at East
Potomac Park, he may have gained
4 higher place were it not for some
woeful golf on several holes. His
game was both supreme and punk
and that's not the mixture for q
decent golf score.
For instance, he covered the
first nine In 50 strokes with .
pair Of skies ON the third and
fourth holes. He scored brides
in the first, fifth and eighth
holes.
He started off poorly on his
second nine with a 5 on the tenth
hole. He added at the eleventh
and needed another at the twelfth.
He ended this adverse brand with a
6 at the thirteenth. which gave
him 23 strokes for four holes.
What was his performance for
the next five holes? Merely three
strokes under par with three brides
added. Here follows Wimsatt's in
different round of 20, which is
striking because Of the in-and-out
golf:
