Until Levinsky came along, 1t
didn't seem humanity possible that
anybody could have been as afraid
Of Joe Lewis as Make Baer had
been. But the Kingfish never was
one to do things by halves. When
he got scared, he got scared all
over. I believe his alibi afterward
was that he had INDUCED in too
many herring for dinner. When
Jack Doyle, or some similar false
alarm, trapped him in London not
long back, the Kingfish excused
himself by saying that the smoke

Nothing like that is going to
happen to Jim Braddock. Not the
Bomber, nor any other fighter,
will out-heart the. brawny Irish
man from behind the Jersey sign

True, it's difficult to find any
logical reason for Braddock to beat

Whatever his age, he is indubi'

that Irish athletes mature slowly.
It isn't so much that Braddock
Is getting old, but that he has been
getting old without fighting Of re

roll Corn Griffith in. resin in q
fight in which he was supposed tc
have been an experimental grlines

done much fighting.
And since he beat Baer to wiz

than the Griffin affair, he hasn't
done any. But he has grown

Though Astor Clarke has a

had surprising opposition from

By playing the ball after the

more time in which to prepare his
stroke and more time to reach the
ball also. He can note any par

take.
For the average player, and the

In fact, nearly all Of the cham

ball, as a general rule, well after

However, It Is best in the long
run to take those balls which are

balls which are on the torehand

A Problem
Whether to play the ball on
the rise before the ball has
reached the crest Of its bound
or to play it after it has passed
the crest of the bound is often
a problem for an up-and- coming
player.
My advice is not to play the
ball on the rise unless you be-
lieve you are Q genius at the
game Of tennis.
OF all the players that I have
The Washington times., 1937-06-10

In receiving your opponents
service it is best to stand four or
five feet behind the baseline. OF
course this depends upon the
strength of his delivery. You must
move forwards or backwards ac.
cording to the power on his shot.
After you have returned the
ball to him you should go to a
point approximately three to six
feet behind the base line in the
center of the court. This will give
you an even chance to get his next
shot whether he hits to your back.
hand or forehand side.
Center of Court
After every return you make
The Washington times., 1937-06-10

(unless you are running into the
net or are already there), try to
come back to some point approx.
mating the center Of the court
three to six feet behind the base
line. Stay out of no mans lard;
that space between the baseline
and the service line.
Try not to favor either side Of
the court. It is permissible,
though, especially if you have q
good forehand drive, to leave a
little more of your forehand court
open than your backhand court.
Playing this way will bring you
two or three feet to the left of
the center Of the court as you face
your opponent.

Asks 1886 Figure

Incidentally, Bottoms demand
for $500 is practically equivalent
to what he signed for to play the
whole seaso.4 of 1886. He didn't
get all of it, in view of the fact he
refused to stay here for the month
Of September, claiming illness be-
fore absconding for his Carolina
home while the club was in the
midst of a first division fight
which found them finishing in
fourth place by less than half of
a percentage point. That run-out
cost Bolton $1,000 salary. He was
never fined for his act.
Many fans claimed had Bolton
remained, the team might have
finished second or third; but there
is much evidence to question that
theory. AS it happened, Shanty
Hogan was rushed here from Al
bany, and after two uniforms were
sewed on him he finished out the
season behind the bat in man.

whether Bolton could have done
