BACKSWING MEANS EXACTLY THAT; DO
 NOT LIFT CLUBIlEAD ABRUPTLY
By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer

Al Espinosa says that golfers once simply teed up the ball and started it rolling toward the 425-yard first hole of the Mexico City Country Club.
 They walked beside the pellet to the green, and putted out. { "But it takes two good shots to reach the green today" says Espi- nosa, who summers at the Portage Country Club of Akron and winters in the Mexican capital.
 The late Willie Smith laid out the Mexico City course 9 years ago. The first hole was downhill all the way, with not a blade of grass on the fairway.
 Be sure that the club is swung back. not picked up or lifted abrupt ly. in s,a:ting the backswing- l.
 Swinging co-ordinates the body, arms, and hands, although the body movement precedes all other.

GRANT, PARKER. FIGHT FOR BERTH
Budge and Mako Sure of Spots on U. s. Davis
 Cup Team

Forest Hills, N. Y, May 20-(UP) -The battle between Byran Grant of Atlanta and Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N. J., for the No. 2 singles berth on the U. s. Davis Cup team begins today on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club,
 Both were named with Don Budge and Gene Mako of California to carry Uncle Sam's banner into the North American zone finals against Australia over the Decoration Day weekend. Budge was certain ctoice for the No.1 singles spot, and Budge and Mako were just as sure to pair in the doubles.
 Showdown Soon
 A week of practice remains be- fore non-playing Capt. Walter Pate is required to name the actual play ing members of the team.
 For Grant and Parker, everything depends upon how they look during practice. Grant is favored at the moment because of his international match experience. Parker, however, is playing the best tennis of his career and a whirlwind finish in training may earn the coveted berth for him.
 Clifford Sproule, manager of the Australian team, named the four players he has in this country Jack Crawford, Adrian Quist, John Bromwich and Vivian McGrath. Quist virtually has the No. Aus sic singles place clinched and he probably will team with Crawford in the doubles, leaving choice be- tween Bromwich and McGrath for the other singles spot.

CROSBY, WILEY CLASH AT 5 P. M.
Games at Hamilton Park Today Figured to
 Be Close

Indications were strong at press hour today that no less than four pitchers would see duty in the Crosby Wilby baseball game sched- uled for 5 o'clock this afternoon at Hamilton Park. The contest, orig inally booked for last Saturday was rained out. For Crosby, which is the pre-game favorite to win due to the fact that the J. O. F. Man. herz-coached combine has been un- beaten in valley league competition to date, Jimmy Day, a right hand- CT, is expected to get the starting assignment while his mound foe will be Freddy Shaw, according to Coach Jimmy Lee, the idea of both mentors apparently being to hold their best fingers for reserve duty. Fahy of Wilby is a particularly strong bet on the strength of his recent 22-6 win over Ansonia, for he is hefty hitter having com- pleted a grand slam" from the plate in batting 1000 including a home run, triple, double and sin- gle. Then there is Chestone and Buzz McGrath, two heavy hitters who have been having more than fair success with the stick this sea- son.
 On the other hand, Crosby has a we'll balanced team with good pitchers and a half dozen good hit ters, which explains their four straight victories over fought Nau- gatuck Valley League opponents. All, in all, fine weather should de- velop real tight ball-game, if the breaks" are somewhat evenly divid- ed Henry L. Brophy and Al Kellie will arbitrate the game.

UMPIRE STRICKEN

Boston, May 20-UP) = Charley Johnson, American league empire, was reported in fairly good" con- dition at St. E1izabeth,s hospital to- day following an emergency opera ton last night for acute appendi- citis.
 Johnson, who worked behind the plate in the first game of the cur- rent Boston Red Sox Cleveland series Tuesday, was stricken late yesterday. He was operated on by Dr. Eddie O'Brien, Red Sox Club physician. The umpire had suffered a slight attack in Detroit a week ago.
 Hospital authorities said he would be confined to the hospital for about two weeks. It could not be deter mined how soon he would be able to return to his umpiring duties.

United Press Staff Correspondent,

heavyweight, eased off somewhat in his training stunts today, in his preparation for his 15-round bout with James J. Braddock, heavy weight champion of the world, al the Garden Bowl, June 3. Schmel- ing never looked better in his life and says he will stiffen Rraddock in shorter time than it took him to put the crusher on Joe Louis at the Yankee stadium last June.'
 Everything O. K.?
 I read this and knew someone was crazy, and that it was either the Garden, or Mike Jacobs, w1o is promoting Braddock and Joe Louis in Chicago, or myself. I called the Garden and a spokesman said everything was sane over there. I called Jacobs and he insisted he had all his buttons, I didn't call myself for fear I would get myself, but opened another letter.
 A few lines of it and my mind broke into Virginia reel. Be- cause this letter informed me that Enze Fiermonte had purchased a 400-horsepower Maserati automo- bile and would race in the second annual Vanderbilt cup race at Roosevelt Speedway on July g.. Fiermonte, you must remember, is the prizefighter with soft smile and chin to match who forsook the ring to marry Mrs. Madeline Astor Dick and become the stepfather of John Jacob AStor, Jr. I couldn't make any more sense of this than could Schmellng's belief that he is actually going to fight. Automo- bile racing is dangerous, and I have seen Fiermonte in the ring and know that he doesn't like dan ger, with or without mustard, on white, rye or pumpernickel. He is one of the few true pacifists I ever saw in the ring.
 To clear my head decided to go to Forest Hills, sink in deep chair on a sun-flooded porch, and be soothed watching the effortless motions of the Davis Cup players in practice. I relaxed and looked out on the court. I shook my head and looked again. For here's what saw:
 Classy
 Two members of the Australian Davis Cup team playing as I had never seen tennis players play be- fore. One of them, a gentleman named McGrath, held his racquet in both hands like a baseball bat for all his backhand shots. Tha other one, John BromWich, swung with both hands on the forehand side, and on backhand shots flung his racquet from his right hand te his left. It looked more like a wand drill than tennis game. started betting myself on whicl, hand Bromwich would use ano wound up losing forty cents. I was just writing myself out an I. O. U when the manager of the Aus tralians came up and said hadn't seen anything yet, and to wait until next year when he brings ovel a boy named Pont.
 "He uses two hands for all his shots, including service" he said.
 T don't, doubt it." shrieked hys- terically. I don't doubt anything today"
 And, placing my hand in my vest with a Corsican gesture, l joined Josephine at the bar.

POINT SCORING TO DETERMINE
 P.G.A. RANKING
Best Player to Be Named On Basis of Place in
 Big TOurneys
BY HENRY SUPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent New YOrk-CUP)-The P. G. A. is changing its system of deter mining the best players of the sea- son. In the past, the association has rated it's players on a general average of tournament scores. For example, a player having totals of 280, 284 and 288 in three successive tournaments would have an average of T strokes per round.
 Because of differences in playing conditions, the committee decided that the old system was unfair. So, henceforth, point system will be used under which points will be al- loted for places at the head of the tournament totals with certain championships giving the winners more points than less important championships. Winner of the P. G. A. and winner of the National Open each will be credited with 100 points. A graded scale of points will be allocated for those finish ing in order behind the winner.
 The memory of golf's foremost stylist, the late Harry Vardon, will be perpetuated by the P. G. A. The association will award annually a trophy to be known as '"The Harry Vardon Memorial Cup" to the pro- fessional making the best record in tournaments conducted each year bv the association,
 The U. s. Ryder Cup team will sail from New York June 16 aboard the liner Manhattan for the bien- nial series with England at South port, Eng, June 29-30.
 The squad will arrive there June 9 and after the Cup matches will attempt to win the British Open, which hasn't been captured by an American in three years.
 Six players already have been captured by an American in three years.
 Six players already have been named to the team-Denny Shute, Tony Manero, Johnny Revolta, Henry Picard, Horton Smith and Gene Sarazen. Four other places will be allotted on the basis of best scores in the P. G. A. and U. s. Open tournaments late in May and early in June.
 Thirteen players will be eligible to make the team-Craig Wood, Dick Metz, Paul Runyan, Ed Dud- ley, Sam Snead, Vic Ghezzi, Jim- my Hines, Ray Mangrum, Harold McSpaden, Byron Nelson, Ralph Guldahl, Olin Dutra and Ky Laf-l foon. Out of that group are eX- pected to come the other four play CTS.
