HELEN JACOBS
 HEADS US. DAVIS CUP COMPETITOR
Place Left for Mrs. Moody If She Decides to Com.
 pete Abroad

New York, April 20.-(UP)-An all-veteran squad, headed by Helen Jacobs, will seek to give America its sixth victory in the Wightman cup matches at Wimbledon in June against England's best women ten- his stars.
 The team, announced yesterday by the United States Lawn Tennis aS- sociation, did not include Mrs. Helen Wills Moody of San Francisco. A loophole was provided, however, to put the one-time queen of world courts on the team if she decides later to compete this summer.
 The squad which will meet the British women June 12-13 follows:
 Helen Jacobs, Berkeley, U. 8. No. l ranking player.
 Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, Cams bridge, Mass, No. 3.
 Carolin Babcock, Los Angeles, No.
 Mrs. Marjorie Gladman Van Ryn, Philadelphia, No. 5.
 Mrs. Moody, according to the ar1' rouncement, was not included be- cause "she has not yet decided whether she will be available for play during the coming season" Last year the squad consisted of five players. So, if Mrs. Moody does decide at the last minute to cam- paign abroad, she could easily be put on the team.
 Miss Jacobs, U. s. national chaln- pion and member of every Wight man team since 1927, will captain the squad and handle the No. l singles assignment. Mrs. Fabyan and Miss Babcock probably will also play singles. Mrs. Van Ryn, wife of the Davis star Johnny, probably Will play doubles.
 With the exception of Miss Jacobs, who now is in England, the team will sail from New York May 20, arriving in London in time for two weeks practice and competition in grass court events. Miss Jacobs IS expected to play in the French championships beginning May l9 m Paris. ,,,
 All members of the team also will compete in the British champion ships at Wimbledon starting June 2z. The team will sail for home around July 2.

GROVE, TERRELL WILL BE GIVEN. NEEDED SUPPORT.
OsternlueIIer's H e ar t. breaker" Only Loss of
 Red SOx Mound Corps
By HENRY SUPER

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, April 2O.-(UP-Be- fore the 1936 baseball season started, Manager Joe Cronin of the expen- sive Boston Red Sox said:
 If Lefty Grove and wes Terrell can get a little assistance from the rest of the pitching department, the Red sox positively will be one of the four contenders."
 Called the Turn
 And with the season only six days old, it begins to look as if Cronin hit the nail on the head when he made that statement. The experts agreed that if Grove and Terrell, who won 45 games between them last year, functioned at that pace this season, the Red Sox would need only a couple of pitchers to back lip that pair to stay in the race for their first pennant since 1918.
 So far, Red Sox pitchers have been the steadiest in the league. In five games, not once has @ Boston hurler been driven from the mound. Terrell and Grove have lived up to expectations. Terrell has won two starts and Grove set the Yankees down with two hits in his only start. Johnny Welsh, who won 10 last years, accounted for the other triumph.
 Improved
 The only Boston loss was that suffered by Fred Ostermueller, who dropped a heart-breaking 3-2 pitchers battle Saturday to Lefty Gomez of the Yankees. In defeat, Ostermueller showed that he has enough on the ball to give Grove and Terrell more support than he did last year. Freddy won seven and lost eight a year ago when he was out for 10 weeks because of in- juries.
 When Johnny Marcum, former Athletic star, returns to duty after a tonsillectomy, the Sox will have at least three capable pitchers to back up their star pair. All three are confident that, with heavy hitting team behind them, they will perform in championship fashion.
 Terrell, the work-horse of the staff who won 25 games last year, added his second victory of the sea- son yesterday. He held the Phila- delphia Athletics to five hits as the Red Sox, also limited to five blows by Gordon Rhodes, triumphed 2-1. The victory kept the Sox atop the American league along with the Cleveland Indians, who buried the St. Louis Browns, 13-6. The Browns and As each have yet to win in five starts.
 Rowe ROuts Elm
 The Chicago White Sox dropped out of the lead when they lost their first game of the season. School boy Rowe held them to five hits as the world champion Detroit Tigers triumphed, 50. It was Rowe's sec ond shutout victory of the cam paign. The New York Yankees de- feated Washington, 9-1, in the other American league game.
 In the National league, the New York Giants continued their dizzy pace, winning their fifth straight game, Al, over the Boston Bees. Hal Schumacher held the opposi- ton to four hits. St. Louis and Chicago, the other potential pen- nant fighters, also triumphed. The Cards whipped the Pittsburg Pirates, 7-3, while the Cubs halted Cincinnati, 16-6. The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated Philadelphia 2-1 behind Van Mungo's six-hit pitch ing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-20

On the strength of observation and recommendations, I'd say Q golfers feet should be placed in 8 square stance. Those who employ the closed stance do 50 to overcome the tendency to slice; those who favor the open, to prevent hook.
 The square stance has the feet placed so that 8 line drawn through the toes will be parallel to the line of flight. Facing the ball squarely in this manner helps the player to swing straight on line of flight.
 The open stance draws not only the left foot back, but also the left hip and shoulder. This stance will help the player to make free fln- ish, but on the other hand, will hinder him in making a pivot.
 The square stance allows the player to make free turn during the backswing, but often, if the body is turned too far to the right, the downswing will be black by left side, and 8 finish is difficult.
