Bench w Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

Don't put off today what you can
do tomorrow - or something like
that is an ancient utterance which
apparently means nothing to valley
softball leaders - or maybe it does.
At any rate softball officials have
taken no action to form, or decide
not to form, a city or valley league
this season.
Officials were somewhat disgust
ed with the public's reception OF
last years league race. Crowds were
small, gate receipts were smaller.
There, was of course, a reason
for both. In CaleXico the turnoutS
were large last season and the gate
receipts were satisfactory
Thus it is obvious that improper
handling was largely responsible for
the lack of interest in the sport in
FL Centro and other valley towns.
Two openings are available for
the Ell Centre softballers. One is
to meet Immediately and form d
four or six team city league.
The second is to meet Immediately
ana decide not to have a league in
order that independent teams might
map a schedule to bring coast and
other valley town teams to El Cen
tro for series of games.
In either. event a softball Car
should be appointed to direct the
activities of the league or indie

WrestlerS took a back seat in the
limelight toda yaS valley promoters
rushed final plans for the open
ing of the wrestling season in Ell
Centro at the City Limits athletic
club Saturday night.
BoXing's most colorful playboy,
Max Adelbert Baer, was the man
who showed the wrestlers out of
the picture in this weeks bouts.
The former heavyweight boxing
champion of the world and now
the second ranking challenger for
the same title, will be the third
man in the ring when list Of
the Pacific Coasts leading wrest-
lers square off at o'clock Satur-
day night.
Baer has warned wrestlers he
will tolerate no rough stuff with
out getting into it himself. As a
result the matchmaker predicts
the outstanding wrestling matches
of the year.
Make swings a mean right hand
and the odds are 25-l2 that he
will be given a chance to display
his k.o. ability on an unruly bat
tier Saturday.
The bouts are, Tom zahariias

Bob Coleman and Vincent Austeria

was told that he must use the
overlapping grip if he was ever
to get anywhere For 16 years, he
used the overlapping grip. 1t was
part and parcel of him.
Two weeks ago, he badly bruised
his left thumb. l do not want to
get technical but when a man in
jures his left thumb, he cannot use
the overlapping grip. He must find
some other way to hold the club.
Picard discovered his bad thumb
at midnight. At nine the next NOR

ner of gripping the stick. He told
himself and hundreds of others that
he would not be able to break
hundred. His fellow professionals
shook their heads and said, in
effect, poor old Henry, it will be
years before he wins another tourn-
ament or makes another dime.
AS experts, who charge five dol
lars an hour to instruct old wom-
en-, they knew that man could
not change his grip overnight. SO
what did Mr.. Picard do? All he
did was change everything from A
TO and start hitting the ball bet
ter than he ever did.
Using a strange grip, he won the
most important tournament next to
the open and the PGA.
There's only one moral to this
story: Golf is funny game, and

dollar for II hours of teaching. He's
just guessing!

u. S. G. A. Refuses to Change Qualifying Rules
EX-CHAMPIONS
WILL NOT BE
HONORED

NEW YORK, April CUP)l - If
Bobby Jones wants to play in this
years national open championship
he will have to qualify in regular
sectional rounds President A. M
Reid of the q. S. Golf association
indicated today.
Jones said that he might play in
the open at Denver June 8. 10 and
IL this year if the u. s. G. A.
would exempt former champions
from qualifying.
AS much as Bobby Jones means
10 golf and as much as I'd like to
see him play in the open. I hardly
see how the rules could be chang
ed in time for this years tourna-
ment," Reid said.
IF anything is done about it.
1t will have to be within the next
few days because the programs
containing the qualifying rules are
ready for the printers now. 1t is
entirely up to the executive COM
mittee which does not meet again
until May Z"
Reid pointed out that of the 10
available places, 80 go to the low
scorers Of last years champion
ships The home club professional
also is exempt which leaves l39
places to divide u among the other
tournament golfers.
1T would hardly be fair to them
TO exempt a dozen or more for
mer titleholderS, reducing the
available places to around l25," he
said.
