Mastro.La Barba
Fight to Draw in
Chicago Stadium
Referee and Judges Offer All
Possible Shades Of Opinion
at Close of Set-to

Chicago, Aug. 8.-tR-Earl MAESTRO
Chicagos contender for the world
featherweight title, today had a draw
with Fdel La Barba OF Los Angeles
and three painful bruises on his
right groin, as mementos of his latest
encounter with the Californian.
Several times during 10 bitter
sweltering rounds of fighting in the
stadium last night, MAESTRO com
planned to Referee Little Phil Collins
that he had been struck low. Collins
warned La Barba but went no fur
ther and MAESTRO fought on. At the
finish Collins and the two Judges
presented all the variety of opinion
possible and averaged up to a draw.
Collins voted for a draw, while one
judge like La Barba and the other
Mastro.
The crowd of 12,43o which paid
about $33, 1876 to watch the two little
Italians. received the verdict with
boos and jeers. figuring that La
Barba had clearly established a win
ming margin during the first seven
rounds. Ringside experts had the
same opinion, but a medical exam
ination revealed that MAESTRO had
been struck low at least three times
and was in real pain.
Regardless Of the fouls, the Gus
toners got all the action they looked
for. The former flyweight titlehold-
er set a hot pace from the start. Long
left hooks round Mastro's head and
body and the Chicago italian was
unable to use his own boxing skill
Starting with the eighth round, how
ever, he ann up with a desperate
rally and was more than holding his
own at the finish.
The bout was the third between the
pair and left them all v for the
series. La Barba outpointed Mastrc
in California when they were BAN
tamweights, but a year ago on the
coast Mastro gained an edge.

In a recent article I asserted that
some players apparently try to hit the
ball with their body by starting both
their backswtng and downswing with
q body movement. The main thing
in making q wood Or iron shot is to
keep the body out Of the swing as
much as possible.
The pivot should be the natural
result Of moving the arms and club
back and then down in the swing.
There would be no pivot II it were
possible to swing the arms back and
down without a body twist.
With q majority Of players. the
trouble comes after the club has gone
back in the backswing. AS the club
is poised momentarily for the down.
swing, the player, unconsciously no
doubt, turns his body to hasten the
downswing in his eagerness to hit the
ball and to hit it hard.
Timing is the difference between
a good shot and q poor one. You are
hitting too Don II you let your body
rush the d~ownswing. If you delay the
hit and let the body come through
following the arms, the result Is much
more distance with eSS effort.
One can get a clear picture Of the
club swinging through with little
body interference by watching any Of
the big tournament players. The star

Retain Places at

Pace They Are Setting Bodies
No Good for Teams Doing the
Chasing in Pennant Fights

The league-leading PHILADELPHIA
Athletics and Brooklyn Robins were
bowling along today at a pace that
BODIED no good for the clubs that are
doing the chasing in the current PEN
nant races.
When a club that already is lead
ing the pack by six and one-half
games hands it's nearest pursuer an
artistic beating to stretch it's ad-
vantage to seven and a half, the sup
position is that the team in front
is going to prove pretty hard to over
haul.
That is exactly what the Athletics
did yesterday at Shibe park to the
Washington Senators, Al, thanks to
Jimmy Foxx's 31st home run of the
season in the sixth inning with two
on base.
Pulling up on the Senators, the
third place Yankees, still hitting and
still dangerous, won their second
straight victory over the Red Sox,
81.
The hard fighting Cubs just man
aged to keep the Robins from in
creasing their three and one-half
game lead when they nosed out the
Cardinals. 6-5.
For the second time in two days,
the Robins beat out the Pirates, this
time by a Ga count. This wound
up the abbreviated series.
Yesterday the Robins won in the
ninth in spectacular style when
Johnny Frederick tripled to drive
home Ike Boone who had batted fol-
Vance and walked. Just to make
the margin a little more comfortable,
Wally Gilbert then Proceeded to tally
Frederick with a single. Watson
Clark. pitching the ninth for the
Robins, held the lead safe.

BATTLE CLOSE THROUGHOUT

New York. Aug .8.-(P-A battered
little bundle of ebony fighting ma
chinery sat huddled in his corner at
the Polo grounds last night after ten
of the most furious rounds OF slam
bang boxing New York has witnessed
in many a moon. AS bellerln' Joe
Humphries walked toward him, with
official slips in hand, Kid Chocolate
leaped up in anticipation OF being
proclaimed the winner. only to stum-
BILE back and fall into a sobbing heap
in his corner as HUMPHREYS suddenly
checked himself, turned and lifted
the hand of Jackie kid Berg in
token of triumph.
In those few dramatic moments,
pulse stirring to a crowd OF 25.OOO
that had been thrilled by a sensa-
tional battle on little fellows, the
winning streak that Kid Chocolate
appeared to have kept intact was
brought to a sudden end. snapped
after two years Of unbroken victory
by the lean little English whirlWind
from White Chapel.
Entirely on the strength OF his
tireless aggressiveness, Berg won by
receiving the verdict Of Referee Patsy
Haley. grey-haired little veteran, and
one of the judges, Joe Angelic. The
vote of Charles F. Mathisol, the Sec
ond judge, went to the Cuban feath-
erweight.
So close was the battle and so
partisan the sympathies of the crowd
that the decision, plus the announ-
GERS uncertainty. provoked a big
demonstration of disapproval. Choco-
late. led tearfully from the ring, re-
ceived an ovation that drowned out
the cheers for Berg. So heated was
the scene that impromptu fights
broke out around the ringside and 1t
was fully five minutes before order
was restored by the police.
Among the ringside experts, a
sharp division of opinion existed, al
though a slight majority appeared to
regard the decision as fair. On the
Associated Press sheet. Choco-
late was given six rounds and Berg
four but the margin in several was
so close there was plenty of ground
for the wide range Of opinion.
Chocolate landed the cleaner. more
effective blows. He had Berg some
what groggy with a sensational at
tack in the third round, the most ex-
citing OF the entire fight. The flash
ing, ebony "keed" was also the fas-
ter. better boxer whenever he could
keep away from the crowding, maui
ing Englishman. Berg. however. was
increasingly the aggressox His
punches were seldom damaging but
they were mor persistent and landed
oftener. This forcing, plus the fact
that Berg unquestinably made the
stronger finish, apparently swung the
decision in his favor.
Berg had a nine pound advantage
in weight.
