Washington. Aug. s-(UP)-A good place to keep out of Is the Department of Agriculture's crop reporting offices on day when 9 report Is to be issued. 1ntruders get snared in the elaborate device used to prevent premature "leaks" and find themselves imprisoned. sometimes for several hours.
 Yesterdays cotton consumption report was held up two minutes because three persons inadvertently blundered into the offices. The first two were newspaper men, new to the department.
 They found hall doors locked behind them and guards adamaht against their pleas to get out.
 "But, we've got to get out" one of them said.
 well you can't" was the reply. "Acting Secretary Tugwell is in here too and he can't get out either"
 Promptly at 10:58 a. m., the crop reporting board filed out of the section of the building to the room where the consumption es- inmates were to be released at II o'clock.
 Two minutes later the three in- truders were allowed to follow.
 The board kindly delayed an- nouncing the estimates until the two sheepish newspapermen ,ar- rived at 11:02 a. m. Tugwell, equally sheepish, dashed back to his own office.
 The entire section of the south building of the department, con- taining more than 100 offices in- cluding that of the crop reporters. Is cut off from the outside world on the report days from opening time until a report is sissued.
 All telephones to the offices are disconnected, window shades are drawn and the statisticians go to work.
 Once a girl employe tainted about two hours before a report was due. By frantic wig-wagging from a window, a doctor was ob- tained.
 After the physician revived her he wanted to hurry out because of a rush call" No, officials said. he must stay until the crop report was out. And he did.

CURVE SPECIALISTS
GETTING BIG PLAY
McKechnie Sees Explanation
for LoW-Hit Games, Wins
One to Prove It.
BY EDWARD J NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n JEW YORK, April o.
M There's no mystery at all
l Y to the amazingly fine
pitching performances that
have cleaned so brightly through
the weather shrouded haze of the
young major league base ball sea-
son-that is, If you'll accept the
explanation of Williamsburg Will
McKechnie, canny pilot of the
Boston Braves.
Its the curve-ball pitching, that's
ALL" Bill explained as he pondered on
the steps Of the Boston dugout at the
Polo Ground. He was trying to think
of pitcher who could beat the Giants
and win him his first game of the
season.
"TURVES and side-arm pitches
~ and fellows with freak deliveries
I know I'm playing the percent
age using them now. And so are all the
other managers"
Bill thumbed mentally through the
list OF his pitchers, three of whom,
Huck Belts, Ed Brandt and Fred
Farmhouse, had allowed five runs in
three games without winning one of
them.
1T works out like this he explained,
wrenching his mind off the immediate
problem with almost visible physical
effort. 1.-THE hitters come up to the
early-season games with little practice
against curve-bau pitching. What
curves they have swung at in practice
and Spring games they knew we're COM
ing. They could get set.
.sRUT don't forget this. Pitchers
- don't throw any too many curves
before the season opens. They
start slowly. They want to save their
arms. They're just beginning to really
benz them and open up with all the
stuff when the championship games
start. So for awhile they've got the
batter befuddled.
It won't last, Of course. The hitters
will catch up. But the pitchers sure
have had big time so far"
Whereupon Bills problem quit rolling
around in his skull and cane to dead
stop He waved Socks Seibold out to
pitch HE throws plenty of curves"
Bill explained
So the Braves woke right up and won
themselves ball game, their first, on
four hits. And Seibolds curves, and
later Ben Cantwell's, locked very good
indeed.

YOUNG WHITE SOX
| GAINS CONFIDENCE
Dykes at Third Steadying
Influence Over Player Bush
Nearly Ruined.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.


@H1CAGO, April 22.-Lucius
l Appling, late of Atlanta
~ and Oglethorpe Univer-
sity, has about arrived at
a major league shortstop's estate.
At least he is just now playing a
whale of a game for the Chicago
White Sox and Lew Fonseca be-
lieves the young man is on his
way to becoming one of the best
shortstops in the American
League.
He still misses few of them, but the
boots mostly are on easy chances, and
he has the faculty of coming up with
the tough plays that make the GUS
toners forget all about his previous
mishaps. The kid is equipped with
everything a shortStop needs-speed,
good range, strong hands and power
full arm. At the plate he swings q
potent mace.
4 PPLING has looked no worse around
IA shortstop than did Joe Sewell when
he came up to Cleveland. Sewen
could kick them far and throw them
farther, but iris Speaker refused to
bench him and the little ALBANIAN be-
came one Of the stars of the league.
Dcnie Bush was manager Of the White
Sox when Appling came up to the big
leagues with less than three months
professional experience behind him.
ic toe oeAo
TOOK the veteran leaders criticism more
to heart than most players would have
done. Consequently he lost lot Of con-
hdence and his play went from bad to
worse.
Maybe the Sox might have quit on
Appling, but Billy Evans of Cleveland
liked him, and so did the Yankees.
knowing that, the Hose held tight to
the kid, and now he's producing. Jimmy
Dykes, the Shrewd veteran covering
third base, is proving a steadying influ-
ence and at every turn Luke is getting
cheers instead of criticisms.
A PPL1NG came through with start
1 \ ling play against st. Louis the other
day. Campbell smacked one that
Duzzed over a corner Of second base that
looked like sure hit. Appling dove
for the ball and threw the batter out
While sitting On the stern CT his new
white uniform. That started him of
well with Sox fans and he will remen-
Der the applause for some weeks. With
Jack Hayes playing second, the Sox
have one of the fastest keystone ccmbi-
nations in the league. and it will choke
OH lot of potential hits before October,
Chicago may not even finish in the
first division, but the visiting teams will
md the Sox anything but set-ups this
Summer and will enjoy an imitation of
patronage that will make their visits
profitable. Which, after all, is the
thing that most concerns the gentlemen
who meet the fortnightly pay rolls.

THE SPORTLICHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

granite boulder blocking narrow road
when you are riding in light car. You
can't get around it, under it or over 1t
and have any speed left for your down
swing.
1T seems strange that part Of the
down swing action should start before
the back swing action is completed. This
calls for a blend that seems unnatural
and yet I know that my left hip il
turning outward, is starting out OF the
path, while my club head is still dipping
down an inch or two more on the back
swing. This has seemed to me so i'm
portant that I have featured it in my
next set Of instructive pictures.
Hard Blend. 4,
II have watched a lot Of golfers,
Bobby continued, who played rather
steadily from 80 to 80. I am sure they
could play just as steadily around Is
except for two reasons. First, on the
back swing they refuse to let the lef'
hip turn sufficiently. Second, on tne
down swing they don't get the lett my
out of the way in time to give the hanos
and arms their chance to swing the
club head through.
TT is a funny thing" Bobby re-
marked, most people get most OF their
fun out of just playing round OF go1
I think they would be surprised at the
fun they could get by working out vari-
Gus problems in practice, by first try
ing to learn the right way and then
going out with bunch of balls to see
what they can do about 1t.
cit is really one of the most inter
esting sides of golf. don't think prac-
tice is any good at all unless the PLAYER
has in mind a good pattern that he Is
irving to follow. There is nothing to
be gained from blind practice in just
hitting one ball after another until the
hands get sore, but its an en-
tirely different thing when the player
actually studies the right swing, gets
a clear mental picture OF the right
method and then goes out to see what
he can do about it.
IT would like to say once again that
there is really no excuse for all the bad
golf that is played, especially by those
vino have been playing so many years
without any Improvement at all. Each
one of these knows what great Kick
he gets out of good round-out OF a
round where he has knocked off five or
six strokes from his average score.
There isn't any reason why most OF
these, in learning the right methods
with a fair amount OF concentration
and practice, shouldn't knock on more
than five or six strokes and keep them
knocked of right along. But they must
first learn the reasons+the causes
that make a good golf swing, and not
nav so much attention to results, foI
the time being, at least"
