TIME Cincinnati Reds, whose as

it had become more or less of
habit until Manager Charlie Dresser
took them over, are threatening to do
Max Schmeling on the experts this
season.
While the Pirates and the Giants

end Of the first division, the red-hot
Reds, previously rated no better than
the sixth place they held last year,
have been creeping up until now they
are only two games out of that select
set.
A general pitching improvement,
particularly in Al Hollingsworth, is
largely responsible, but along with this
are such factors as the grand come
back Of Kiki Cuyler, the snappy first
base work Of Les Scarsella, recent i'm
portation from Toronto, and the i'm
proved hitting Of Shortstop Billy

Away back in the hellicose days of

there was fouling, ordered the race
re-run, and awarded the gold medal
to Lieut.. Wyndham l5alswell of his
majesty's army on a walk-over after
the Americans refused to play re-

Typical of the Olympic 400, as we'll

marks made by the 1882 winners at

equaled the record made by Brttain's

Bunkers wen Groomed.

RUT if greenskeepers weren't so as
siduous in keeping the bunkers
raked and smooth, 1t wouldn't be so
good. Under those conditions much Of
the technique of bunker play with the
wedge would be lost and the boys
would steer the ball away from the
sand. But that isn't being done.
So well groomed are the bunkers at
many courses that the ball sits up bet
ter than in the rough. There isn't any
question that the scoring advance in
modern golf has come about through
the sand wedge and its mastery by the
pros.
Golf scoring among the top notch
ers Of today is a stroke a round better
than it was 10 years ago." says Sara

1t may all be traced to the sand
