BIC LEAGUES EVEN

Exhibitions "ProVe" American

of Equal Strength.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, March 26.-Inter-
M league conflict in Spring base
ball exhibitions has proved"
that the National and Ameri-
can Leagues are of exactly equal play
ing strength.
OF the 80 games involving teams from
each league the National has won 10,
the American 19 and one, between the
New York Giants and Chicago White
Sox, ended in a tie.
From National League standpoint
the Brooklyn Robins and Boston Braves
have been most effective against clubs
from the rival circuit. The Robins have
won three of their four games with
Braves have won to II. In the Ameri-
can League only the Chicago White Sox
and Detroit Tigers can boast better
than an even break with the National
League. The White Sox have won four
out of six and Detroit four of seven.
The New York Yankees and Phila-
delphia Athletics together have lost one
more game than they have won from
the older circuit. The Yankees have
won six of seven and the AS have
broken even in 10 contests.
In the compilation of all Spring
games, regardless of the character Of
the opposition, the Washington Sena-
tors head the list of clubs which have
played five or more games with four
victories and one defeat. All of the
Senator's triumphs have been scored
over minor league clubs. The Boston
Red Sox and Cleveland Indians also
have perfect records, each with two
wins against minor league opposition.

The International Tennis Federation

matter of time before the amateurs and
pros will be mingling now and then as
they do in golf. The open golf cham
pionship of the United States is now
the big event in that sport. 1t has
been one of the oldest fixtures of the
game, and always one of the most ex-
| citing.
When it comes to tennis it will work

fundamentals which so many of our
young amateurs now lack.
TOday's Golf Roundup.
A READER wants to know just ex-
"A actly what is meant by the
rhythm of a golf swing" Alex Nor
rison has described the golf swing ''as
one smooth, flowing motion, uninter-
rupted on either the mental or the
physical side" A smooth, flowing mo-
ton" can hardly start with sudden
jerk. 1t can hardly continue on to the
ball when 1t is interrupted by q wild
desire to hit from the. top of the swing.
Stewart Maiden, Bobby Jones' first
and only instructor: Ernest Jones and
other fine instructors have shown that
rhythm must first start from correct
balance. Balance largely means a cor
rect transfer of weight, from left foot
to right foot and then back to left foot
again as the swing starts, continues
and finishes up.
In other words, body weight must
blend with the action of the hands,
arms and clubhead. 1t can't work
against this action and produce any re-
suits that are not entirely morbid
Once the swing starts there should be
no mental interruption. The mental
picture must come III advance. Neither
balance nor rhythm can start from
tense, tied-up hands, arms and body.
NO smooth swing can get under way
from mass of knots.
