ORLANDO, Fla, March 5.-The
lease Of the vanishing Vene-
zuelan" or where in the heck
is Alexandra Carrasquel?" is the
latest mystery in the Washington
training camp.
The right-hander from Caracas
who was supposed to report on
March l still was absent this
morning as the Mats were driven
in a double workout by Manager
Bucky Harris.
Carrasquel wrote that he was
having trouble booking boat pas
sage from his native land but
added that he would come by air.
If he left as promptly as Griffith
expected, the only conclusion the
Old Fox can draw Is that air
travel has slowed quite a bit.

Stor Team Of Texons
Something to Beot

I asked Jimmy, the pride of
Houston, what he thought of Texas
against the field-TeXas against six
picked stars from the other Al
States.
WED be willing to try it," he said
with grin, using a siX-man team. v
Golfers either born or trained in
Texas would include the following
cast: Jimmy Demaret, winner of
five big opens this season.; Byron
Nelson, United States Open cham
pion; Ralph Guldahl, winner of two
consecutive United States Opens:
Ben Hogan, always in there close
and charging; Dick Metz and Harry
Cooper, who went to Texas at the
age of or thereabout.
Not bad cast. 1t would be a
team to beat-even by a team that
could be named from Picard, Snead,
McSpaden, Little, Runyan, Ed
Oliver, Burke, Craig Wood, Jimmy
Hines and several others.
The Texas record in the last three
years has been phenomenal And
the high spot so far has been Jimmy
Demaret's five big tournament wins.
within two months, against the pick
Of the field.
Here's Jimmy Demaret's short tip
to the average golfer-to most
golfers
BE sure of enough body turn to
the right hip. Be sure to get around,
well around, on the backswing.
Don't hurry or rush any part of
the swing-the backswing or the
start Of the downswing. In starting
the downswing let the body weight
move with the swing, from the right
foot on to the left. But if the back
swing is made correctly and you
don't try to hit too quickly from
the top of the downswing. there
won't be much to worry about.
Just think of making the shot
as well as you can, without trying
to steer the ball. A good swing will
take care of the results you want
30 forget the results while making
the swing"

Lack of Tension Marks
Demuret's Golf SURGE
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special CORRESPONDENT of The Star

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March
NAN.AD.-Jimmy Demaret, the
Houston Hurricane, far ahead of the
all-star goling pack for 1910, has
been a grand golfer for many years.
The smiling, easy-going young
Texan is close to being the leading
stylist of the game today. Jimmy
had one main fault-he played golf
more for fun than anything else,
and winning or losing were both
minor matters in his life.
He always has been something to
watch-with any club. This waning
winter I've seen him practice, hour
after hour, and keep his retrieving
caddie jumping sideways, no matter
what club he used, from 100 yards
to $50. He is my idea of a real
stylist on every type of shot he
plays-meaning ease, rhythm and
the lyrical physical qualities of form
But Jimmy Demaret has some
thing more than a fine golf swing
He has less tension than almost any
tournament golfer know-and I'm
not even barring the old-time Walter
Hagen.
This season is the first time I've
seen the stylish Texan take tourna-
ment play with the needed amount
of serious effort. I mean by that
the real desire to win and the will
ingness to practice and keep phys
ically ready for each engagement.
Demaret has followed this system
all winter with astonishing results,
far in front of a brilliant pack.
This doesn't mean that he has kept
himself keyed up. Jimmy doesn't
get keyed up. At least If he does,
he also is a great actor.
Mental Attitude Foctor
In Every Round.
A short while back spent several
days with Texas Jimmy at Bud Kel-
lands Phoenix ranch-before and
through the Phoenix open.
We'd talk over his theory of the
golf swing in the morning, and then
he and Sammy Byrd would lure Bud
and me to the practice tee, where
we spent most of the time watching
them swing every type of club.
Demaret's approach to the mental
and psychological side of golf is
even more interesting than the COM
plete smoothness and soundness Of
his swing.
Mental attitude plays big part
through each round" Demaret told
me. when you are stale or tired
you can't get any right mental at
titude.
"On good days you must have the
feeling that you will play each shot
the best you can play it, without
thinking too much about results.
You must keep as relaxed as you
can-which isn't any too easy. 1t is
much more difficult for some golfers
than it is for others.
Then there's the matter of con-
centration. Golf largely is game
of outside distraction. I only try
to concentrate on the simpler things.
For example, try to make up my
mind definitely on what club I need,
say a 4 or 5 iron. Once that's de-
cided, I try to think only of playing
that club correctly. A common fault
is continued indecision after the
golfer has picked his club. This
works against any crispness in the
stroke"

Draft Lottery Begins On Blue
Note AS Left-Handed Affair

The big glass bowl filled with
thousands of blue capsules, gave off
u blue glare in the bright lights
focused upon it.
The ceiling of the departmental
auditorium-scene of the lottery =
was like a waveless blue sea.
President Roosevelt wore blue
sit, and a matching blue tie
Secretary Stimson injected a new
color when he appeared in a black
suit to draw the first number, but
started a parade of left-handed
capsule pickers.
Digging in from the port side he
took out a capsule and handed it
to the President, who took it in his
left hand. 1t was No. 1853.
Secretary Morgenthau was next.
He blinked in the glare of the lights,
put in his left and took out 1872.

But, like the rest, Jackson stuck
in his left hand and took out num-

Secretary Knox took his position
at the big blue bowl. Without
hesitating he, too. put in his left
hand and took out number.
Secretary Jones moved up to the
bowl.
Hes a right handler" said a
sports writer, Il saw him throw
out the first football to start the
National Professional F o b al l

But-like the rest, he put in his
left hand.
And so It went right on down to
the 18th man, Maj. Gen. John F..
Williams.
The general started to dig in with
his left hand, but suddenly switch

Dr.. Wise Announces His
Support For Roosevelt

NEW YORK, Oct. 2e.-lRADr.
Stephen S. Wise, president Of the
American Jewish congress, an
nounced his support of President
Roosevelt today and criticized
what he termed an attempt to "co-
cree Jews to refrain from voting
for the President
In an editorial in the Jewish
journal "Opinion, which he edits,
DR.. Wise said:
1.-THE most loathesome means
and methods have been used in
order to terrorize Jewish support
ers of the President to forswear
their allegiance to the democra-
tic party and it's candidate.
"On every hand" he continued.
''there come to me proofs of sucn
disgusting coercion on the part of
Jewish friends of the republican
candidate"
PERSONALLY, I prefer to believe
that the latter does not know, and
if he knew, would re ashamed of
the base tactics of such Jews" 4

LIZA tropical storm apparently

bureau today to be about 200 miles
north of Turks Island in the West

Meteorologists, who have watch.
ed the storm for two days, said the
direction of movement is uncer-
tain but it probably is recurring
northward."
Turks Island is about $50 to SOC
miles southeast of Miami and 1OC
miles north of Haiti. A northward
course would take the storm away
from the Bahama Islands and the
Florida coast.
