being played. Genes new grip ideas
haven't yet reached the manufac-
turing stage, and never may, but
meanwhile he is doing all right with
his own schemes. Latest brain-child
of the former American and British
open champ is an oval grip, designed
to At the hand, with the narrow
angle pointing up as the club lies on
the ground.
1.-TWO or three years ago I had a
bad spell Of hooking my big Shots"
said Gene. 1T went on and on, and
although I tried everything, it per-
sisted. I tried a different stance, a
different hand grip and still that
burned ball hooked. Finally hit on
this oval grip. Nope, haven't yet
tried to put 1t in the manufacturing
stage Gene works for one of the
major golf companies) but 1t may
come along, If they like it,"
One of the queer angles on Gene
and his golf is that he isn't really
serious about tournament play.
That 68 he had at Pinehurst
In the opening round Of the
Midsouth individual tourney
was complete surprise to
him.
Laughing about it later he said,
Sure, that cup looked like bucket.
I picked up a putter in Witty Cox's
golf shop that suited me. felt con-
fident hitting that ball" AS it turned
out Gene missed a 5-footer on the
last green for a Ct. But it's all
psychology" he grinned. First time
I hit ball with that putter holed
about 60-footer. From then on I
felt 1 couldn't miss"
Watered Greens Play Easy.
Gene lays the present low scoring
by the big shot pros to the ease of
playing second shots to green's which
aren't tightly trapped and which
hold almost any kind of shot hit to
them. Fred Mcleod has the same
idea. IF they'd keep those greens
hard and keep water of them for a
day or 50 before tournament you
wouldn't see such low scoring" says
the squire of Brookfield Center,
Conn. ITS made so easy nowadays
that all you have to do is hit any
kind of shot up to the green and it
will stay there.
More courses like Oakmont,
and Garden City would make
the boys play better golf.
THE courses play the shots nova
days, and you don't have to have a
lot Of stuff on the ball or play those
delicate run-up shots you play on
the other side or those long approach
puts they have in England"
Which isn't strictly new. Colum-
bias Fred Mcleod says the whole
secret Of the low scoring among the
pros nowadays is the way the green's
are kept water soaked to hold long
second shots.
Let these boys play to a few
green's sloping away from them;
greens which are hard and not
watered, and you'll see quite diff
ference in the scoring. On is of
18 greens that have puts for brides
because the greens hold the ball."

The situation this year differs from
that Of previous years, when a slate

Champion in Niehtshirt
Like Rovino Circus Tent

DR.. George has more than capacity.
He has class. But, when I offered
to match him with Stewart, the
Memphis Flash, there was a sudden
postponement of plans for the title
bout.
Stewards managers came up with
a story about bad wrist, sprained
in the act Of hoisting a portion Of
summer squash. II this Is true,
it adds to my Indictment. The man
is brittle, something no eater should
be.
Personally, Stewart is a fellow of
sterling character and wide attain

King Of Fodder GuIpers
Makes Brood ChoIIenoe
BY JOHN LARDNER.
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

special correspondent OF The Star.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-In a mel
ancholy essay, lamenting his own
lost days as an eater with skill,
force and a change of pace, Mr..
Damon Runyon goes on to review
the great eaters of all time, includ-
ing those he knows by hearsay,
those he has secuted personally and
those at whose feet he learned the
rudiments Of worrying a sirloin
steak.
Mr.. Runyon alleges that he was
once regarded high and low as a
kid with great promise at the
trough. 1t may be true. There is
no doubt that .he ranks high in
the fields of coffee drinking, sitting
up all night and gulping down mid
night movies. That is all that can
be vouched for by those who have
watched this -hipped. broken
field runner mostly in his later
period.
When a guy gets to be close to
100 years old, as Mr.. Runyon claims
he is, it is hard to check up on
his early youth. Writers of the
Civil War period do not have much
to say about his eating prowess.
This would seem to indicate that
he is giving himself all the best of
it as he looks back.

stable of eaters probably was the
strongest and best-balanced in the
neighborhood. I had several good
small men, but my ace, the recog-
nized eating champion OF the New
England States and by all odds the
country's foremost free-style grazer,
was DR.. Harry George of the Metro
politan opera company.
DR.. George held the post of deputy
executive stage carpenter for the
Metropolitan. He first attracted the
attention of the great tenor singer,
Scotti, many years ago, by wolflng
five spring chickens at a sitting.
Though Scott did not know it, the
doctor was just warming up.
Being partial to the work of Italian
cmposers, DR.. George used to sit
backstage in a rocking-chair and
listen to the performance of Ma
dame Butterfly" with case Of beer
on his right and case of sandwiches
on his left. The doctor always
timed his holiday 50 that the last
beer and the last sandwich disap-
peared on the last note of the opera.
Besides his work with lamb chops
DIR. George considers small steak
smothered in "a lamb chops an
appetizer second to none-this gifted
scientist has established local and
intersectional records in "a separate
departments of eating.
He is a man of distinguished ap-
pearance. The sight of him walk
ing along the aisle of sleeping
car in his striped nightgown, to
get a drink of water, once caused
Florence Easton, the prima donna,
to swoon dead away. She thought
DR.. George was runaway circus

.Stewort, Memphis Locust,
Merely Good Club Eoter

On the other hand, those were
the days when eating was out
lawed in most States, and the big
bouts were held on flatboats in the
middle of some river. 1t may be
that the historians never caught
up with Mr.. Runyon.
Among the old-time, reconstruc-
ton trenchermen he mentions are
Tom Thorpe, the hanging football
judge; Jim Thorpe, the versatile
Sac and Fox, who had to return
his Olympic eating medal to the
King of Sweden, and Irwin S. Cobb,
the dialect comedian.
I have seen Cobb work and, while
he lacks the polish and style of the
late Percy Hammond, for instance,
there is no doubt that he disposes
of a fair amount of provender in a
good sitting. I am willing to take
Mr.. Runyon's word for the rest Of
those bare-knuckle eaters.
But, when he comes down to mod
ern times, I think he is slightly
out of line In describing Mr.. Walter
Stewart, the highly-touted Memphis
Locust, as the best there is. In this
reporters book Stewart is a good
club eater, and nothing more. He
puts on show, sure. He goes IN
there and mixes, when he knows
that the other fellow cannot hurt
him and that there is full half
inch of space between the lid Of
the apple pie and the filling. But
Stewards handlers always have been
careful to keep him out Of the ring
with a real eater. They know his
limitations.
A couple of years back, while
Stewart was under Eastern manage
ment, Mike Jacobs conceived the
idea of matching him over the full
title distance of six rounds with
some worthy opponent, the bout to
be held on Promoter Jacobs plan
tation in New Jersey. Jacobs really
wanted good opponent. Stewards
managers had other ideas.
