Pointers on Golf
BY SOL METZGER.

Wrist roll, or pronation. has no
definite place in golf, in so far as
attempting to add it to the swing
is concerned The grip of the
hands must be such as to oppose
the wrists and palms. Test your
grip this Winter and frequently re-
lease the club as you hold it at
address in order to find in just
what position your hands are. If
opposed, as in the sketch, they will
work together.
Denny Shute did a lot of ex-
perimenting with his own grip sew
eral years ago to the great improve
ment of his game. I have sketched

him above addressing the ball. Note
that the VS. formed by the thumbs
and first fingers of each hand point
to his chin. Thus his palms and
wrists are opposed and able to work
together.
Taking a grip to this end is a
necessity. If the wrists and palms
are not opposed, one hand always
fights the other, as we shall see In
the next article.

GEAUGA LAKE, Ohio, June 23.-
Bill Stribling, the only heavyweight
title challenger who ever did ali of his
training for the big affair at night, has
some interesting reasons to offer for his
arrangement of the preparatory sched-
ule. OF all the things to be avoided
when he tackles Max Schmeling in a
15-round duel July 3, sleepiness, he
thinks, Is the most dangerous.
Rights and let's to the chin, of
course, thumps that bang against the
body, are to be evaded as much as pos
sible at all times, particularly when
such valuable crown as the heavy
weight diadem Is at stake. He reasons
rather logically that to do this best one
must be wide awake. And so:
If I trained every afternoon and
went to bed at $50 or so at night for
couple Of months, I'd develop the
habit of doing of at that time every
night and it wouldn't be healthy for me
to be feeling like taking a nap about
that time July 3, when I'll be about
starting the first round with the Ger
man.
so figure that if I train nights
under artificial light, under the same
conditions that will prevail in the
Cleveland Municipal Stadium, I'll Just
naturally be keen and eager when the
f1rst bell rings. It won't be my Gus
tomary bedtime hour I won't be likely
to go to sleep on the folks unexpect-
edly."
Another factor, too, that seems to be
working in Stribling's favor is the cool
ness of Ohio nights compared to the
terrific heat of recent afternoons about
the time Max Schmeling has been going
through his workouts. The Georgia
challenger is close to fighting weight,
at about 1873 pounds, compared to the
1876 he hopes for on the night of the
battle. Working out in the cool of the
evening, tends to conserve weight that
is easily lost in the heat OF mid-after-
noon.
Strtbling has scheduled the first of
his final three workouts for tonight.
He will joust with his battered sparring
partners again on Thursday night in
the midst of the miniature Coney Island
of Ohio, where he has pitched his train
ing camp. Sunday he will box for the
last time, resting thereafter until the
following Friday night, and the call
to the most important battle of his
long career.

~ Schmeling is scheduled
this afternoon to go
through his sixteenth day of
boxing since he started training
here for Young Stribling and
tetheir worlds heavyweight cham
pionShip fight at Cleveland July 8.
= Schmeling has boxed about 70 rounds
since he arrived here May 10 for the
long training grind and has numerous
os1nore sparring sessions ahead of him.
Manager Joe Jacobs has announced
that he will box tomorrow, wednesday,
Friday and Saturday of this week and
Sunday of next week., which will be
the week of the fight. He will rest
Thursday of this week. What he will
do Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week Jacobs has not said as yet.
=. The German warrior, weighing close
to 100 pounds and aiming at 189 as
his fighting weight, was pronounced in
wonderful condition this morning by
. Manager Jacobs, who said Max would
: be still better the night of the fight.
He needs some more boxing to guard
against overweight and that is all.
t.: Agree He Has Improved.
a. All the critics who have visited this
camp so far have declared Schmeling
to be much better looking fighter than
when he was in training for his fight
with Jack Sharkey in New York last
Summer. They think he is better
physically. with less worries and even
more confidence; that he is punching
faster and showing more glove skill and
power.
When Jacobs admitted yesterday that
Schmeling had been practicing an in
side right uppercut, similar to the one
made famous by Jack Johnson, he
interested much the boxing experts on
the ground. They will be watching to-
day and the rest of the week just to see
how he is employing that punch on his
sparring partners.
With the Schmeling straight right
hand punch, his left hook and his new
right uppercut, now widely advertised,
Stribling will be we'll warned in advance
as to the might of the champions at
tack
Manager Jacobs went to Cleveland
to attend a conference with Promoter
Richard G. Dunn of the Madison
Square Garden Corporation of Ohio and
the Cleveland Boxing Commission on
the referee, judges and rules. He sent
word back to the camp that the seat
sale was heavy and the contest an as
Gured financial success.
