sparkling bowling career. To-

filled with greenbacks and yellow or
two, his reward for winning the class
A championship of the italian sweep
stakes.
To do this the Grand Palace Valet
star shot two consecutive flve-game sets
of better than 600 and totaled 1,248.
In the final set, rolled at Tad Towards
new Rendezvous, he collected 305 sticks
in the last two games for as sensational
finish as ever marked a Washington
103, 127, 81, 1853, 1852. He shot
GIG in the the opening set week pre-

A week or so before the sweepstakes
opened Pacini achieved the unprece-
dented by rolling two league sets of
better than 400 on one night With the
Bearcat team of the Recreation League
in double-header he scored 405 and
406.
Several nights ago he shot 4O6 ,gith
Grand Palace Valet in the National
Capital, and the three 400" sets in one
month may constitute another record.
Keepers of the archives are not sure
about it.
In his five best performances of the
month Pacini gathered 2,4e5 in 10
games for an average of a small frac-
ton less than 100.
Second money in class of the
sweepstakes went to Frank Maley, with
a score of 1,155, and N. Bonbrest was
third, with 1,130.
Glass B was won by Franks brother.
Tony, with 1882. Louis Scagneln was

tonight in the Moose Intercity League
at the Coliseum. Annapolis leads the
league. Washington is next to last in

I pushed lot of my iron shots dur
ing those 36 trying holes, and pushed
shots on as tough course as Winged
Foot bring such extreme woe that even
the greatest ability at recovering won't
altogether wipe it out. No matter what
you do the extra strokes pile up.
Pushing my ball to the right on iron
shots has given me more worry than
any other single fault in my game. 1t
is no longer habit, for / have con-
quered it to the point where it comes
to trouble me only occasionally. But
even occasionally is too much for any
golfer who engages in tournament play
10 months in the year.
I found that the basic cause for nv
difficulty was that my right hand was
too much on top Of the shaft. The
right hand should be a little under
rather than too far on top of the shaft.
This not only lends an added punch,
but gives one better chance to fire
the club head through on the proper
line.
But there are times when my hand
slips around into the old faulty position.
Habit Is hard to overcome. The sub
conscious mind holds tenaciously to any
habit-good or bad. When 1 push /
know the reason, and correct it by
practice. AS I have said, this fault of
mine occurs seldom now, but have to
fight it just as you have to fight any
bad habit you have contracted in your
grip, pivoting, etc.
Under modern conditions the long
iron shot probably is the most irnpor-
tant in golf. 1t cannot be made to
function to your advantage If there is
a push or a hook. Look to your hands
II you are pushing your number twos
to the green.

temporary green's on all the holes of

resisting with the balls of the feet.
The second pull is to the left in
the direction you intend playing the
ball. 1t is the opposite force to the
one felt at the start of the back
swing. So you preserve balance here
and give yourself a base to swing
from by Strengthening the left leg
and locking the left hip.
The sketch of KirkWood starting
his downswing with an iron shows
the balls of his feet resisting the
first pull forward and the left leg
already Strengthening to resist the
force that is about to pull him to-
ward the left.

situation was very
much like the one I had left in st. Louis
For years great pitching had been
wasted because of the need of two or
three players capable of hitting for extra
bases. That has been the situation,
am told, in Cincinnati for three years
or more.
regret that my pitching will not be
as good as it was three years ago. since
age takes its toll out of veteran pitcher
and there are several of them on the
Reds staff. However, I decided not to
worry about the pitching angle, hoping
that if was able to get together team
that would give the pitching staff a
working margin of three or four runs
daily, that the pitching would show i'm
provement with this added punch.
Help From Rival League.
1t has been my experience in major
league base ball that you cannot look
for much help from your own league.
II you are to get major league material,
tried and true, you invariably must go
to the rival league. That is why Presi-
dent We'll and myself turned to the
American League instead of the Ma
tional, when we started our hunt for
| players who could hit.
Since the close of the major league
season the Cincinnati club has added
three players to its roster who should
make the Reds much improved club
far more interesting. I refer to Harry
Heilmann, secured from the Detroit
Tigers Bob Meusel, from the New York
Yankees, and Infielder CuccinelIo of
Columbus in the American Association
True, Heilmann and Meusel are
veterans, and as some of the critics
state have passed the peak of their
h11t fhnon hoI eat ~
that old apple and that is what in
| tereSts me most for the time being.
feel that Cincinnati must have an i'm
mediate punch if the club is to please
| fandom next Summer and I am will
| ing to gamble that Heilmann and
MeuSel will supply the much-needed
power.
Heilmann, many times batting cham
pion of the American League, hit .343
for Detroit last season. His 156 hits
included Al doubles, triples and Is
home runs.
Meusel Had OF Season.
There comes to every great player a
bad year some time in his career. Last
year was Bob MeuSel's of season. He
batted only .259 and he is 800 hitter
If there ever was one. A change of
scenery Is certain to work wonders for
him and feel sure he will star in the
National League.
Cuccinello played second and third
for Columbus last season, a majority of
his games at the first named position.
He batted .358, making 227 hits, among
them Sc doubles, 10 triples and 20 home
runs.
These three players should all hit
well over 800 for me. Also, am sure
players like Kelly, Critz and Swanson
will be helped and hit better than last
season, as they will absorb the spirit
| of the newcomers.
We would like little more pitching
and have several deals in mind that
should help the club in this depart
ment If we are able to put them over.
