In the intervening years we have ex-

When the richest of these in any section
began to dwindle our forbears moved
on to new fields, ever westward and

the land and harvested the wealth OF

tournament of the professional
Golf Association Is on the
market-thrown open to the
highest bidder-even while the author.
tiles of that organization hope and wish
Capital club will come into the field
and bid for the national professional
title tourney, the idea is turning ovel
in the minds of good many golf-wise
folks around Washington that smart
| thing to do would be for one of the
civic bodies of the city to secure a
club, put up the guarantee and bring
the tournament to the National Capt.
tai as a big feature of the sports pro-
gram of the Bicentennial year.
So universal is this idea that we have
had several golfers approach us from
the same angle within the past few
hours. They hope, of course, that
Washington will get the P. G. A
tournament, but they also point out
that the guarantee necessary, which
amounts to about $4,000, practically
would be certain to be returned to the
guarantorS in the form of gate receipts
collected by the P. G. A. during the
week of play in the tourney.
A S expressed by one golfer today
IA the thought runs something like
this:
Get the Chamber of Commerce OF
the Board of Trade to guarantee the
money. Then get the permission OF
one OF the fine clubs around Washing
ton to stage the tourney in late Septem-
ber or early October, when the weather
is ideal for golf around Washington
Burning Tree would be the course most
preferable for the event, for not only
would it not require lot of new con-
struction work and some changes, but
1t has the additional advantage of being
thoroughly fenced so dead-heads who
wish to see the play would not have a
| chance to get in without buying a
ticket.
Last year at Providence, where the
promoters in that Rhode Island city put
up $4,000, they got back a modest net
profit on their investment in a city
smaller than Washington and lacking
in the Bicentennial attractions that are
to bring many thousands of visitors to
the Capital this year.
The idea has considerable merit and
requires only the whole hearted backing
| Of an organization like the Chamber of
Commerce or the Board of Trade to put
it over. There is little question that the
guarantee would be returned to the
| guarantors If the tourney were played
at one OF the better clubs, and there is

FULLER-bERG BOUT
WEEKS HEADL|NER
Boston Lightweight Likely
to Be Favorite Over
Briton on Friday.

BY the Associated Press.
N yEW YORK, March 28.-Youne
~ Sammy Fuller, aggressive light
" weight from Boston, engages ir
the most important battle of his
career here this week.
Fuller meets Jack kid Berg, speedy
British 135-pounder, in the 10-round
main bout at Madison Square Garden
Friday night. A title shot against
Champion Tony Canzoneri awaits the
winner.
The experts know what Fuller can do
now that they've had a chance to see
him outpoint Ray Miller and knock out
Billy Wallace in his last two engage
ments here, but Berg is something of a
mystery.
Two years ago the British whirlwind
virtually was unbeatable, but he seemed
to slow down almost to a walk last
Summer. He had two chances to win
the lightweight title and muffed each.
CanZoneri knocked him out in their
first meeting at Chicago and then gave
him a beating here.
After the second Canzoneri fight,
Berg went back home for a vacation
and returned to the United States only
few weeks ago. In the first match of
his new American campaign the Briton
outpointed Buster Brown of Baltimore,
but looked none too impressive in the
doing.
Fuller probably will be the betting
favorite.
Boston and San Francisco are the
other major fight centers of the week.
At Boston Friday night Jackie Fields,
world welterweight champion, battles
Leslie Baker, Watertown, Mass. in a
lO-round non-title match. At San
Francisco the same night Joe Sekyra,
rugged Dayton, Ohio, heavyweight, faces
Fred Lenhart of Elk, Wash.

Great Indoor Track Stars
Reveal Stamina Needed

BY ALAN GOULD,

r T may be a little early to do
much shouting about Amer
ican prospects in the middle
distances at the Los Angeles
Olympics but what other country
can offer such star performers as
Gene Venzke, Pen Hallowell,
Henry Brocksmith and Frank
Nordell for 1900 meters?
Here are four men who have run
the mile indoors this Winter under 4
minutes 13 seconds, the most amazing
performance over one season in athletic
history.
Venzke, the smooth-running high
school youngster from Pottstown, Pa,
ran the American equivalent Of the
Olympic distance twice within a week
in ALP and 4:10 fiat to beat the 4:l2
record OF Paavo Nurmi and Joie Ray
that had stood for seven years.
Then came HallOWells 4:124 in the
tntercolleglateS and NOrdeu's 4:13, sec
ond to him. BrOcksmith ran his fine
race in the Big Ten championships at
Chicago and not only won the mile in
record time, but stepped out only a
short time later and ran the tWo-mfle
in 9:l84. His marks were made on q
dirt track, the others were made on the
boards.
Take your own choice as to who had
the advantage IN running surface.

Olympics Another Thing.

WINNING mile in record time and
w winning the 1900 meters in the
Olympics are two entirely different
propositions, however. In one case you
train according to your own methods
for couple of weeks. then run one
race. In the Olympics you run three
times in three days against the pick
Of the world. And if you can win that
third 1,500-meter jaunt you're a man.
The iron man stunts of Brocksmith
and Nordell-Frank did 1854 half the
same night he ran his Alb mile-and
Venzke's two record breaking efforts
over the space of week indicate these
boys not only have the speed, but they
have the heart and the stamina it takes
to make an Olympic champion.

not strong, requires a full pivot.
But the player with strong arms
and powerful wrists can do with
less.
The full pivot takes both the
shoulders and the hips around until
they are at right angles with the
line Of flight, as in the drawing
Of Arthur Havers, one-time British
Open champion, the higher figure
above. A shorter pivot, like that
OF Bob Gardner, lower in the illus
tration, gets the shoulders into posi-
tion, but the hips do not go so far.
