Fitz Hides The Ball
Watch Mel OFT at the plate. Note

is about to take his cut. 1t gives

AL Simmons earned place among
the great right-handed hitters of
baseball despite the fact he en-
ployed the much-despised stance
known as the "one foot in bucket"
position. This may have been all
wrong, but AL could crash that ball.
Pitcher Freddie Fitzsimmons of
the Giants adds a funny little twist
to his windup. He turns around,
completely hides the ball from the
batter, and then seems to shoot it
out from nowhere.
Leo Diegel assumes spread

Glenn Cunningham, holder Of
the world record for the mile, looks
like a prancing thoroughbred as he
warns up for a race. Circling the
track to timber up his fire-scarred
legs, the former Kansas runner
hobs his head up and down with
each step. 1t looks queer, but Glenn
is trying to warm up his neck
muscles. Few runners think of it,
but the muscles of the neck play
quite a part in the gallop down the
home stretch. If you don't think
so, just watch them stick out when
a runner is driving into the tape

NEW YORK, March g. W.P)-
Mercer Beasley. the busiest, If not
the most profound thinker, tennis
ever produced, has devised a new
and novel forehand stroke for
frankie Parker. the country's No.
player and winner of the recent
National Indoor Singles champion
ship.
This barely comes under the
heading of news because Beasley,
whose mind must be constantly
volleying and -volleying, so to
speak, has given his young protege
innumerable new and novel fore
hands in the past five years.
In fact, with the possible eXcep-
ton of Ground Hog Day and March
the first, nothing has come along
so regularly in the past few years
as new forehand shots from Beas-
| ley to Parker. 1t was believed that
Beasley had reached the intimate
in ingenuity when he came along
in 1885 with stroke patterned af-
ter an Australian buShman releas-
ing a boomerang. But from all re-
ports he has topped that this year
with a stroke modelled after the
motion used by shortstops when
throwing to first base,
To make the shot more intriguing
it has certain variations which make
it usable only by a player who is
double jointed in the right shoul-
der. And Parker is, a fact which
he delights to prove by wrapping
his right arm completely around
his skull and scratching his right
ear, whether it itches or not The
fact that there isn't another tennis
player around who can temper
arily convert his right arm into a
python and scratch his right ear,
| guarantees that the stroke won't
be stolen. There is no doubt that
Beasley thought of this safety fac
tor, because, as I said, his mind Is
ever active
Parker employed the shot fewer
than five times IN winning the in
door title. But when he did use 1t,
he explained later, it gained him
forceful and outright placements.
This is good news, and makes 1t
sound much more efficient than
earlier Beasley forehands. because
about all they ever gained for
Parker were unforceful and down.
right nets, outs. and fluffs. Parker
says he will employ the new fore
hand this spring when he makes a
bid for the Davis Cup team. If it
works, frankie will make the team,
because he has had all the other

His backhand is one of the most
beautiful shots in tennis. And he

was Beasley who first thought up
the idea of dotting a practice court
with handkerchiefs and making his
pupils practice until they could
hit them with their backhand re-
turns. Parker got so accurate and
wore out SO many handkerchiefs,
that Beasley substituted small
buckets of the size children play

before Parker was filling the buck

the craftsmanship are the incumbent,
