Rocketers Taught to Hit Them
Where They Desire by New
Mechanical Controption

device with the two elastic cords
will hold the ball at any spot for as
long as YOU care to swing racket.
Can Tune Up Any Stroke.
Nominally priced, Slows product
consists merely of two beams at
right angles with each other. with
two pieces of heavy rubber running
parallel to the upright and forming
a triangle, respectively. The rubber
pieces. on which the ball can be ad-
justed to any position. run from the
floor to the top OF the 9-foot Struc-
ture and from the upper right-hand
corner to the lower left.
The user stands in relation to the
ball as the stroke he wishes to prac-
tice and Whangs away to his heart S
content. Naturally. the. ball snaps
back to its original position after
being hit each time It's better
than using a practice board or prac-
ticing with another player because
of its ability in always giving its
user the ball at exactly the spot he
wishes to concentrate upon improv-
ing. Even a pro, with all his ac-
curacy, must be something less than
100 per cent accurate in feeding his
pupil the kind of ball he most de-
sires to work on.
DR.. William B. Holton, who has
coached American U. teams ever
since the Eagles took to the courts,
can find only one fault with it.
Elastic Not Tough Enough.
The cloth covering of the elastic
isn't tough enough he says. We've
only had it about week. but we've
worn two out already and only yes
terday one of the boys swung too
hard and snapped the elastic en-
tirely. But I can see where it is
going to be a big thing. and any
coach can stand right beside his
pupil and detect his slightest flaw.
That's next to impossible when
you're playing on the other side of
the net. Another thing is that you
can stop your protege at any point
of his stroke and he can see for
himself how he has hit the ball lit
he has come in contact with it, OF
how he is aiming at it. if the con-
tact has not been made"
1t should be great aid for pro-
fessionals as we'll as players, for
the former now can stand at a
pupils side as he practices and the
latter can continue to work on any
kind of shot after a lesson is over.

Godoy, Fighting Usual Style,
Would Have Been Soft

Few other than those with a
practical knowledge of boxing realize
how difficult it is for a fighter of
Louis type to knock out an op-
ponent who merely is trying to go
the route. Joes footwork doesn t
shine. he is a counter-puncher and
he doesn't think too quickly. If his
opponent is fast and stays on the
move and makes Joe do the leading.
Joe doesn't look so hot.
Godoy. for instance. would have
been a punching bag for Louis if he
had fought in his accustomed style,
moving in and trading punches.
Once he began bobbing around and
up and down, making Joe lead and
then moving away from him or
swinging low and coming up inside
and smothering his punches, the
problem of what to do with him be-
came a little too much for Joe.
So we shall have to wait and see
what Louis can do with the best
boxer in the corn belt--who cannot
take a punch, but is planning his
battle so that he will not have to-
The fight may not supply the answer
as to the type of opponent best fitted
to take Louis. but it may help.
Meanwhile, whether Paychek turns
out to be a soft touch or not. this
much must be said for Louis: He
moved up to the title against all
sorts of opponents-boxers, fighters
cuties and cloWns-and, as cham
pion, he is pursuing the same course

Georgetown Victory
Over Penn Points
To Big Season
Hoyos Show All Signs
Of Consistent Outfit
In 7-to-4 Triumph
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.


A crystal ball isn't necessary to
predict a winning campaign for
Georgetown this spring if you saw
the Hoyas in their diamond debut
against Penn yesterday at the Hill
top. The team displayed all the
characteristics of winner, con-
sistent winner. and its IA triumph
over the Quakers merely should be
the beginning Of a triumphant cam
paign.
Swami Joe Judge evidently wasn't
exercising his jaws when he pre-
dicted Hank Mylnarski, the new
shortstop, would make nice filling
for the cavity at short or that Dick
Dieckelman would be handsome
ornament in right filed when not
engaged in throwing the apple past
batters. Both came through in ex-
cellent style, although Dieckelman's
stick work was limited to one hit.
McFadden Leads Stickers.
But there were some other young
men cavorting in Georgetown livery
who did all right. too. One was
Copper" Joe McFadden, in left
field. who clubbed out three of
Georgetown's five hits and drove in
two runs. The pitchers were ahead
of the batters. as usual, but McFad-
den was hitter yesterday.
Georgetown chuckers also turned
in creditable performances, limiting
Penn to five bingles. Capt. Johnny
Smith. Bill Wixted and Winnie
Powers split up the work in 3-inning
shifts and had comparatively smooth
sailing after rough start. An
epidemic of errors got Smith into
trouble in the first inning when
three Penn runners crossed the
plate-two as the result of Catcher
Jim Castiglia's wild throw into
left field.
Wixted Invincible on Slab.
Wixted escaped unscathed. turn
ing EN- back in order, and Powers
flashed his old form, although he
had the tying runs on base in the
seventh and eighth innings.
McFaddenS single was the lone
hit of a big second inning that
netted Georgetown four runs and
tied the count after Penn had added
one in its half of the frame A weird
combination of walks. flelders
choices and Centerflelder Bill Nc
Harg's error on Mylnarski' high fly
paved the way for the scores.
Two more runs. fashioned from
Russ Miller's walk. singles by
Dieckelman and Jules Koshlap and
Right Fielder Frank Regan's wilc
throw to third, sealed Penn's fate ir
the third inning. The Hoyas. how
ever, added one for luck in the
eighth when McFadden cranked uE
and blasted single to left that
wrenched Wnek free from thiro

one of the great fighters of all time,
he isn't inylncible--any more than
Dempsey. Jeffrles, Tunney Johnson,
Fltz, Corbett or any of the other
undoubtedly great fighters was in
vincible. There has been an argu-
ment going on for some time among
the experts as to the type of fighter
best fitted to beat the Bomber.
There is room for argument. He
has been dropped by punches and
confused by clever or elusive op-
ponents. Which is the type to beat
him? The rugged puncher who can
withstand his heaviest blows and hit
him on the chin? Or the fellow
who can step around him, stab him.
bob away from him and stall him
on the single track on which he
fights? Remember that it isn't
necessary for him to be knocked out

Poyehek's Hope Of Staying
IS Rounds Lies in Speed

Tomorrow night Louis will meet
Johnny Paychek, boxer. in Madi-
son Square Garden This looks. at
this range, to be soft touch for the
champion. But so did his fight with
Godoy-and his fight with Farr and
one or two others that he won. but
not too impressively
The dope on Paychek is that he is
a very skillful boxer but can't
punch, and that his hope of winning
Or even staying IS rounds, which
seems to be the goal of most of the
fighters who are matched with
Louis, since small fortune lies that
way, too-is tied up with his ability
to stay away from Joe and outspeed
him.
Lacking ruggedness-almost frail
In build-Paychek is rated as one
of the best boxers the Middle West
has turned out in long while. One
OF his severest critics tells me that.
while he doesn't think Johnny can
last the limit with Joe and certainly
can't hit hard enough to bring him
uoNll, II Will q lledl " "dtS1l
him as long as he remains upright.
Johnny Puts on Good Show
Every Time He Fights
You at least will see polished
boxer he said This fellow has
been big drawing card in the
Middle West because he gives a
great show every time he steps into
the ring He has a beautiful left
hand, but he isn't strictly one
handed boxer He knows what his
right hand is for, too I have been
looking at fights for a great many
years and 1 know I get a bang out
of watching him at work. It's too
bad he can't punch and isn't little
tougher PHYSICALLY
As it is, it looks as though he will
be useful only to help Joe keep a
date at the Garden. Yet there is
the haunting thought that if he
is as clever as my informant says.
he is going in there with the sole
intention of staying Is rounds and
he may give the champion some
trouble
