good pitching, the st. Mary's Celtics
base ball performers may be relied upon
to give a good account of themselves
when they face the Reading Keys OF

against the Keys have had experience
in minor leagues. while two Of the
ing lineup are ranked with the best
unlimited performers hereabouts. The
problem lies in the pitching box, and

BERLIN, April (C.P.A).-Max
Schmelings exhibition tour before
leaving for America, where he will
meet Jack Sharkey in heavyweight
championship fight in June, has
been considerably less than a blaze
Of glory. His present tour of Ger

Though 1t would take a great deal
seriously to dent the young fighters
popularity In Germany, most of the
newspapers are criticiZing him for
too much exhibition and too little
fighting and they censure the whole
enterprise for its miserable manage
ment.
A good showing by Schmeling
against Sharkey in the United States

all the present displeasure, the box

BERG TO RISK TITLE

NEW YORK, April 3 &C. p. A).-Jack
CKiO Berg IS the Junior welterweight
champion, but the title means so little
to him, and to other people too, that
it was not until some time after Berg
had been signed to box Joe Click in
Madison Square Garden, Friday night,
that any one concerned in the match
happened to think that the weight set
at l40 pounds the title would be at
stake.
Berg took over the Junior welter-
weight championship there really is
such title-when he knocked out

q bit disturbed when he discovered that
he had put Berg's title at stake with.

37.1 per cent.
This probably is the first time in
fistic history that championship
match has been made without the

nothing that will make him ready
with all the artillery he can carry.
He is playing every club about as
well as every club can be played. And
this includes his mashie, an instrument
that has been dipped in poison on more
than one occasion in the last few years.
It was surprising to note again how
much closer Bobby held his feet than
any other star In the Augusta field.
I saw him play q full number one iron
where the space between his heels was
not over or z inches. On the same
type Of shot Horton Smiths feet were
about IL or IS inches apart, and Smiths
stance was closer than many Of the
others.
Jones finds that he is able to get
much body freedom with his feet closer
together. There is less tendency to
sway or lurch and there is less tension
In the body and shoulders. On 140-
yard pitch his heels are only or 8
inches apart. This closed-foot action
also leaves him with a straighter body
where only a slight Stoop is to be
seen, against much deeper body bend
that so many others have, even among
the best.
Smith is just a trif1e faster on
his back swing than Jones. The
difference is quite noticeable. There
Is a beautiful smoOthness to Smiths
way of taking a club back, but 1t
lacks the slower beat OF his GeOr-
gian rival. who gives you the i'm
preston Of having all day in which
to complete his back swing.
But neither gives the impression of
hitting too soon, of being in any hurry
to impart the final punch, and this
happens to be one fault that every
duffer carries with him and that so
many stars stumble over when their
going reaches a vital spot. 1t would
be impossible to find two smoother
swings than Smith and Jones can show
q gallery.
