n YEW YORK, March 15.-The in
M door track season, which has
Y kept the records in a state of
constant jeopardy since the first
of the year, reaches its grand climax
tonight in the annual New York Coun-
Gil, Knights of Columbus, meet at Madi-
son Square Garden.
AS usual, the Columbian mile takes
the headline position on the big pro-
gram, but unless Gene Venzke or Glenn
Cunningham can carry on the tradi-
ton Of fast miles. any one Of seven or
away from the big race.
For example, Keith Brown and Writ
Thompson. Yale's joint holders Of the
intercollegiate pole vault crown, are
out to vault off that tie: Joe McCluskey,
Fordhams great 2-miler, gets final
crack at Paul Kanaly, the only runner
to beat him in scratch race this
year, and Emmett TOPPING, the New
Orleans sprint star, clashes again with
Ralph Metcalfe. the Marquette Univer-
sity Negro, who took the national title
away from him.
One of the most interesting events on
the program IS a 'septathlon" compe-
tition between James Bausch, Olympic
decathlon champion, and Barney Ber-
linger, former Pennsylvania all-around
star. They will compete in seven Sc
lected track and field events on a point
basis.
The Casey 600" has attracted a fine
field, headed by Milton Sander, ma
tional 6O0-meter champion, and the
high jump gives the 1ashy New York
University star, George Spitz, a final
chance to break the world record he
holds but failed even to threaten In
the Intercollegiate.

tell on Mails are many and varied,
but one of his performances I never
shall forget. That was the game he
pitched against the Chicago White
Sox one hot August afternoon In
Cleveland, back in 1920. The Sox
knew fate was closing in on their
dishonest members and this day
they were out playing their level
best. But against the fire ball OF
Mails such great hitters as jackson,
Collins, Felsh and Weaver were
helpless. And did the Great Mails
strut down Euclid avenue after that
game. With every step the buttons
on his shirt threatened to give way.
The major leagues never meant
much to Mails. His mind always
was roaming back to the Pacific
Coast League and oakland. He
might have been one Of the great
left-handers Of all time-I do not
know but perhaps he is-had he
possessed little more determination
to remain under the big tent.
Mails will give American Associa-
tions fans plenty of laughs this Sum-
mer, for Tom Hickey, president OF the
league, is not one to curb any legiti-
mate side play that will attract GUS

Jimmy Foxx and Lou Gehrig are the
types that help to build and keep base

In the left hand and left arm. The
average golfer doesn't cock his left
wrist at all. This Is the reason that he
has to use his right side in an effort
to get distance.
zone of the most common Of all golf
faults is this matter of hitting with
the right side Just try to throw base
ball any distance without cooking the
right wrist. It can't be done.
This failure to cock or bend the left
wrist at the top gives large majority
Of male golfers limited back swing.
