GARDEN SENSATIONS
WILL BATTLE HERE
Ahearn Scores as Matchmaker in
Signing Hayes and Doherty
for Bout Monday.

CHOW stealers on an all-star card
- at Madison Square Garden in De-
cember of 1884. Main eventers on
Goldie Ahearn's scheduled 34-round
boxing show at Joe Turner's arena
Monday night.
Another way Of introducing Petey
Hayes and Joe Doherty, who are to
clash over a scheduled 10-round dis
tance in Mondays return meeting.
In signing Doherty and Hayes for a
return bout here Ahearn outsmarted
promoters of both Ridgewood Grove
and st. Nicholas Arena, who have
been dickering for this bout since
early Fall.
Cast in one Of the four eight-round
bouts at the Garden two Winters ago,
Doherty and Hayes proceeded to set
a terrific pace, Hayes winning on
close decision that was roundly dis
puted in some quarters.
One of the busiest little battlers the
big town has turned out of recent
years, Doherty has remained a top
card since showing to such advan-
tage against Hayes. Locally he has
shown to advantage twice. first up
setting tough Frankie Wolfram and
later losing on split decision to Roger
Bernard.
Both Doherty and Hayes, since
meeting last, have expressed de-
sire to oppose in an out-of-town spot
when matched again.

there is an oversupply Of caddies at
all the clubs, and there are not enough

the best boys always getting first

81 a week In fair weather, which is
less than being on the relief roll, and

10 bucks a week.
Many of them are married, and they

bones nowadays. The lads are too
busy trying to get enough money TO-
gether to eat.
Many of them find jobs on the snow
squads when Winter comes, working
for about 50 day. But 1t also is tough
to get those jobs, with plenty Of COM
petition. Some of them at two clubs,
are lucky enough to be called as pin
boys at the bowling alleys at Congress
sional and Chevy Chase, but in the
main it's tough going for the caddies
when snow falls.
Hard enough for them in good
weather, but there isn't any income
when snow covers the golf courses. We

LittIe's Game Example.

THE big swing nowadays is toward
the open stance, where decade
back tendency was toward closing the
stance. Perhaps the modern golf ball
has something to do with it, for the
1885 sphere doesn't run as far and is
more easily controlled than the ball
in use in 1925. But whatever the
reason the topnotchers of the game
are coming more and more to the use
of the open stance, with Lawson Lit
tie the outstanding example.
Lawson's right toe probably is three
or four inches in advance of the left,
q distinct departure from the Armour
method with the right foot back.
And Lawson, in addition to being the
biggest hitter in the amateur game
today, also Is one of the Straightest.
Thirty years ago the open stance
and the wide st. Andrews swing were
all the rage. Gradually the stance
was closed, the swing curtailed and the
big body turn became the vogue. But
the trend nowadays, among the anna
teurs, is toward opening of the stance.
1t makes for greater accuracy with
the long shots.

Omen Stance Found Better.

FUNDAMENTALLY, the two stances
differ in many ways. Obviously.
the best way to hit a golf ball is in
the most comfortable foot position.
And there isn't any doubt that the
closed stance with the right foot or
the right toe behind the line Of the
left toe tends to greater body action.
But it also tends toward too much
body action. So the better amateurs
are opening up the stance, putting
the right foot little in advance OF
the left and hitting the ball without
so much body turn. 1t all tends to-
ward greater accuracy and if you are
one of those who watched Lawson
Little's booming wallops far out there
around the 260-yard mark you
couldn't criticize that stance from the
mere standpoint of distance.
The closed stance is hooking
stance, unless body action is con-
trolled. while the open stance, be-
cause the body can't turn too far with
the right foot in front, will more ef-
fectively prevent a diving hook.
Even Gene Ssrazen, built close to
the ground, barrel-chested and short
of arm, has come around to a more
open stance in recent years. Paul
Runyan is becoming more and more
open and Willie MacFarlane, national
champion 10 years ago, also is an open
stance swinger.

Lucky Strike.
Lorraine's score, made from scratch,
was 631. It included games Of 100,
122, 1913, 1875 and 140. She may have
needed the big finish to collect the
IS prize for the top set from scratch
in the qualifying round, for many Of
the fair stars have yet to shoot. and
several are capable of beating 600.
Mabelle Herring, who also qualified
at the Lucky Strike. is in fair way
of pocketing the five-spot for high
game of the prelim, with 155.
The handicaps are proving extremely
useful to many of the fair bowlers.
Among those who appear to have
made the grade at the Lucky besides

Campbell, 48-531; Lena Miller, 80

reason being that they have all to

~ OLF is going back to its an

~ anyone kid you that stance
isn't important.
For 10 years and more now the
headliners in the game, chiefly among
the pros, have been going square with
their feet, and not a few Of them
have had the right foot behind the
line of the left, so that they played
with what is technically termed the
'close stance" Tommy Armour is
one topnotcher who comes to mind
quickly who was one of the outstand-
ing advocates of the closed stance.
But now among the amateurs you
will find the open stance coming more
into vogue. William Lawson Little, jr.,
the Big BAN from California, is the
bell-wether of the flock along the line
OF the open stance, and more and
more the boys are coming to the
placing of the right foot in front of
the. line of the left.
Walter Emery, runner-up in the last
amateur title tourney at Cleveland,
Is an open-stance player and so were
many others of the more prominent
amateurs. The tendency today is
more toward the open stance and
away from the closed stance of recent
years.

a hazy idea, that S. M o. and STAN

was notable. S. NJ U. was also largely
a sophmore team with just about the
same backfield speed that Stanford
carried; but apparently, every member
of the Texas team could throw foot
ball on a line 40 or so yards and
practically every member was good
receiver.
As Ray Morrison told me then,

that foot ball around down in
this country"
Yet S. NJ. u, with brilliant running
attack, only uses the passing game
