Mickey Has Hopes

He indicated a spot on top Of
the right arm, directly over the
Joint.
1T feels like there was some
thing there. Buc I'm all right
Mickey Cochrane thinks that
Rowe will be all right. Rather,
he hopes that Rowe will be all
right. If he is, the Tigers will
give the Yankees a battle.
No doubt a goodly share Of
Detroit's hopes are built upon
this young giant who threw the
javeline, put the shot, and
played football in high school.
Perhaps the trouble started
there, for tossing the javelin,
putting the shot and playing
football develop muscles in a
manner entirely opposite to the
way in which they should be de-
Veloped for baseball.
Denny Carroll, trainer of the
Tigers, predicted the collapse of
Rowe four years ago when the
Schoolboy was at his peak.
There's a knot in his arm"
Carroll said at the time. "It
may work out. If it does, every
thing will be fine"
The knot is there yet, not as
big as it was, but it's there.
Has Won 81
In three years Rowe won 81
games for the Tigers and LOST
81. Last year he won one game
and lost four, and allowed 8.71
earned runs per nine-inning
game.
Small wonder that he is baf-
fled by the changes of baseball.
On the same bench with
Rowe is the manager, Mickey
Cochrane, whose miraculous re.
covery from almost fatal injury
last season thrilled a nation.
I saw Mickey play six innings
at shortstop. He looked like a
good infielder. He hit a three
Dagger and slid into third base
I watched him on the bench;
on the field. Talked to him at
lunch, and at his home in Lake
land. His eyes are clear, his
reactions are swift. He could
! play ball if the club got into q
Jam.
But he won't play" says
Spike Briggs, son of the owner
! II won't play again; ever,
says Mickey.

Wnen Jimmy SenQS his l9U
pounds of bone and supple
sinew into cyclonic action. he
doesn't spare a single muscle.
But he generates a smooth,
fluent flow of energy without a
sign of strain or tension. And
there, my fellow buffers. is the
secret of his astonishing long
drives.
Golfers everywhere are striv-
ing for extra length" Thomp-
son told me, land if my telling
your readers how became a
long hitter will help them in
their quest for the extra hit, 1
am gladly at their service.
The first thing went for in
trying to build a long-hitting
game was balance. I hit balls
with only one thought in mind
getting my body and club
working together until I went
from the address to the finish
without falling into or away
from the ball.
TWO FUNDAMENTALS
It pointed my head at the
ball and kept it there. The re-
suit of the drive at first did not
matter. 1t was just a matter
of making contact as I swung
through and sent the ball some
where on the line. Accuracy
came later.
II built balance on two funda-
mentalS. First, planted my feet
firmly and with a little more
weight on the inside Of the ball
of each foot than was taken by
the middle or the inside of the
foot.
Second, I added more and
more power as 1 felt the sense
of balance being retained and
strengthened.
But" Jimmy said with a
grin, don't let your readers get
the idea that those things came
easily. 1 spent hours, days,
months and years at it. Practice,

hard taSkmaster. If success were
won easily 1 fear few would
play the game"
SECRET REVEALED
won't you tell them about
your grip and stance and
method Of hitting the ball,
Jimmy?" I asked him.
Sure, if you think it might
help. I place the hands on the
shaft so that of the v of the
thumb and forefinger points
down the shaft. This gives me
the combined working I seek in
my method of taking hands,
forearmS and clubs away in one
concerted movement in the back
swing.
Il have definite feeling that
the third and fourth fingers of
the left hand have a firm grip
on the shaft-firmer if any
thing than the grip of the index
and second finger of that hand.

overlapping the first finger of

muscles. I hold the body in
that position and do not lock
any part of it in readiness for
the start Of the down swing.
I take the club back from
the ball by moving, as I said,
hands, arms and club without a
conscious breaking of the wrists.
