That tenth-of-a-second pause at the

the ball too fast. The champs do it
only in the stress of tournaments. The
buffers do it all the time. That's why
they are buffers, and always will be
until they learn to take it slower.
Particularly around the hole you'll
find the main difference between the
star and the ordinary player is speed.
The star has a relaxed backswing. He
hits the ball smoothly and easily. but
the main idea of the duf1er is to hit
it quickly, without much thought
about where it will go. Oh, sure, I

FIGHTS THAT MADE HIsToRY-
(Baer FeIicitates His Friends
While Braddock Amasses Points
By DILLON GRAHAM.

~ DAAAAOAN ~ASHAAhNAS
Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
Boxing's favorite Cinderella story
was written in the pine-benched bowl
Of Long Island June 13, 1885. when
James J. Braddock, an old-timer up
from the docks and relief rolls Of New
Jersey, left-handed his way to Is
round decision over Max Baer.
Braddock was so far down the ring
ladder year before that he was
happy to get preliminary bout with
Corn Griffin on the same card that
saw Baer win the crown from Camera.
He had had such a hard time getting
bouts and winning that he had had
to take a. dock-hand Job and apply
for relief funds to support his family.
Gets Start Toward Top.
Griffin had him on the floor. but
Braddock arose to win by a knockout,
and that started him toward the top.
Virtually none of the experts gave
him a chance. He was 10-l shot.
Baer laughed whenever Braddock's s
name was mentioned.
But Braddock came out fighting at
the gong, jabbing Baer with his left
and carefully staying away from
Baer's vaunted right. Baer meanwhile
laughed at Braddock's punches, waved
to friends in the audience and wise
cracked with those around the ring
side.
AS Baer, the buffoon, sneered and
smirked and smiled, the unbelieving
crowd thought he was biding his time
and hadn't begun to fight.

REDS 13-SESSION
WIN IS A SAMPLE
Lone Pass He Issues Costs
Game-Hot Series Start
In Both Leagues.
By HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer:

II you look far enough down in the
National League pitching records
you'll md the name Of Lou Fette ol
the Boston Bees and figures to show
hs has won only one game and lost
eight Right beside the name you car
imagine a big black jinx.
Lou was one of those oldsters who
won 20 games for a second division
Boston club last year. This season he
has been making up for that surpris-
ing showing by getting all the bad
breaks.
In the normal course of events,
Fette would have had victory yes
terday instead Of watching the Bees
60 down to 13-inning 81 defeat by
Cincinnati.
At the same time the Reds would
have been returned to third place in
the standing.
Protested Game Called Tie.
The Reds were officially moved
ahead Of Chicago's Cubs yesterday
when League President Ford Frick
altered his original ruling on the pro-
tested game against st. Louis May
IA. Instead of letting the game stand
as Cardinal victory until it is re-
played in August, Prick decided to
call it tie game for record purposes.
and thus Cincinnati moved a few
points ahead OF Chicago in the per-
centages.
The Reds remained there when 1val
Goodman's triple of Johnny Lanning.
Fette's successor, broke up yesterdays
game. The Cubs, meantime, were
knocking of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
81, behind Bill Lees seven-hit fling
ing to keep pace.
The only other game yesterday re-
turned the New York Yankees to
second in the American League by a
S-point margin over the Boston Red
Sox as they conquered st. Louis, s-4,
in the Teplay of Sundays tie.
Although Fette wasn't charged with
yesterdays loss, the game was fine
sample of the sort of thing that has
been happening to him. In the nine
innings Lou pitched. he gave only five
hits and one walk, but that pass cost
him the victory. Lonnie Frey drew it,
took third on an error by Debs Garms
and scored after Goodman's fly.
Takes Lone Bad Beating.
The Bees didn't tie it up until the
ninth, when Bob Refs, batting for
Fette. singled to bring home Bob
Kahle. Then in the 18th, Good
mans triple brought in Wally Berger
with the winning run. Goodman also
scored after Buck McCormick's fly.
In II previous starts, Fette took only
one bad beating. Twice he was re-
moved early only to see the Bees win
for Ira Hutchinson. In seven other
games he pitched good ball, allowing
about eight hits on the average, but
the Bees got him only about six blows
game. Three Of his defeats were by
one-run margins.
Cincinnati's rise paved the way for
another red-hot series as the Reds go
to New York today to take on the
league-leading Giants.
A similar affair is starting in the
American League, where the Yankees
invade Cleveland. Although virtually
tied with Boston, the Yanks are a
game and half behind the pace-set-
ting Indians.

or less mediocre player is about a
tenth Of second, and 1t all comes
right from the start OF the down
swing. Yep. tenth Of q second. I'll
show you just what mean.
Take Mac Smith, for example. A
great player who should have won a
flock of championships, but great
player nevertheless. Mac always has
been slow in the vital parts of the
swing. You may have noticed how he
pauses distinctly at the top of his
swing with every club. That gives his
body time to catch up with his arms
and wrists, and to get set for the
power punch. They all-the great
ones-do the same thing. They get
set for the downswing and give them
selves plenty Of time to untangle all
the parts that go into the swing
arms, hands, body muscles, hips and
shoulders. Now take your duffer or
century shooter His upswing and
downswing all blend into one motion,
and not q smooth one either. It re-
suits in q tangled up kind of swing
and the marvel to me is that he hits
the ball at all.
He ties himself into knots be-
cause he doesn't give himself
time to get set for the down
swing.
