Number 753
ALEX MORRISON says:


Every player senses when he
goes wrong in his swing. The
trouble is in knowing just where
he got off the track. This isn't
easy for him to know because il
takes but little to put him off.
He may have had something
wrong in his backswing and
doesn't find it out until he starts
his downswing.
An example OF this Is had in
the movement Of the left shout
der. Most players bob up and
down in their swings, particularly
the long ones. AS they come into
the ball they invariably have to
raise up. Seldom do they realize
that this raising up is necessitated
by the lowering in the backswing.
This lowering is always accom-
panied by dropping the left shoul-
der.
Today's illustration shows how
much the player must compensate
for this dropping Of the shoulder.
Check up on your left shoulder as
you start your b~ackswing.

PROVES FATAL

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. g. UR)-
Joshua Rapken, 50-year-old whole
sale liquor dealer, was injured ia
tally today in frantic two-story
jump to the street in front of his
blazing Forty-third avenue resi-
dence.
Leonard Mendoza, a neighbor.
rescued two members of Rapken's
family and young woman guest.
Rapken died of a fractured skull,
suffered when his head struck the
pavement.
Those rescued by Mendoza were
Mrs. Pearl Rapken, 26, Rapken's
wife. their son, Joshua, Jr., 7, and
Miss Mary Machado 26. of Los An
geles.
One fireman was injured serious
ly when he fell down a flight of
stairs.
The fire was discovered by Jack
Mott, Is. a newsboy. Delivering his
morning papers. Jack told firemen,
he heard screams, shattering glass
and looked up to see Rapken poised
in the second story front window
Flames roared up behind the man,
who was unclothed.
Screaming in terror, Rapken
leaped. Neighbors took him to a
hospital, where he was pronounced
dead.
Mendoza, an amateur radio oper-
ator, was working on his radio in
the basement of his home when he
heard screams. He ran out and
saw the women and the boy gestur-
ing from a rear window of the
Rapken home. Smoke and flames
billowed from within the house.
Firemen arrived and placed a
ladder against the wall. Before any
one could act, Mendoza scrambled
up the ladder. Emmett Carter, IT,
a neighbor boy, ran from his home
with rope, which he tossed to
Mendoza. Mendoza threw it to
Mrs. Rapken, who tied it around
a bedpost.
Joshua, Jr., slid to the ground
on the rope, but flames roaring
through the wall burned the rope
in two Mendoza helped Miss Ma
chado through the window and
down the ladder. Then Mendoza
and Mrs. Rapken began to descend
when the ladder sWayed and
plunged over. The pair leaped
safely into a net held by firemen.
Mrs. Rapken burned severely
about the hands and face, was un-
aware her husband was dead.

United Press Staff Correspondent
DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 8. =
Do not be surprised, my dear con-
stituents, if before you come to the
end of this glorious essay you find
me touching with a light but sure
hand on such diversified subjects
as ice cream socials, their Signiti-
canoe, their insignificance, the dan
ger of allowing the children to
skip grades before the sixth, the
care and feeding Of growing Da-
vey tree surgeons and, has tatting
gone to stay.
I may be forced to fall back on
these topics in order to make this
article run its proper length, for
my critical analysis of the Joe
King Levinsky fight is not
going to take me very long. 1t
could all be summed up in one
word-whambo! You can see for
yourself that "whambo" does not
easily lend itself to a lengthy de-
scripticn. When you've said
"whambo" you've said "Whambo"
Honestly, that's all the fight con-
sisted of. Louis walked out, eyed
the 200 pounds Of sterling young
manhood who was the Levinsky
of Wednesday night, and started
whacking away at him. Levinsky
just stood there, so frightened that
he was in what he himself de-
scribed as a ransom" He was as
helpless as a tree before a skilled
woodsman with axe in hand. One
felt that Louis, like a Woodchop-
per, could have noticed the King
and made him fall in whatever di-
rection he Willed.
The Big Question
II had been hoped that Levinsky
would remain upright long enough
to hit Louis and settle once and
for all whether the Detroit Negro
could stand a robust bob on the
countenance. As you must know,
one Of the most vital questions be-
fore the nation today, ranking
with the utilities problem and the
soak -the-rich issue, IS whether
Louis can take it or not. We prob
ably will be forced to end up by.
writing our congressman to settle
the matter for US ,inasmuch as
Louis persists in knocking people
out before they hit him.
Personally, I think we might as
well worry our pretty little heads
as to whether Doris Duke Crom-

To Highest Bidder

CHICAGO, Aug. 9. U.P)-Promot-
er Mike Jacobs today laid the
groundwork for a live bidding spree
between New York and Chicago for

signed the sad-faced Detroit Negro
and the ex-champion heavyweight
after Louis easy knockout victory

The fight will be held either

Jacobs said he obtained the match
