Some Feel Conn's Speed
viii BoffIe Champ

against this, Conn couldn't af-
ford to take any of the punches
that fell on Buddy Baer through
their last fight. These big fellows
are hard to bring down. Especially
when they are as game as Buddy
Baer was. But if Conn ever leaves
himself open for a solid smack
from Louis, can't see how he can
get UP again within any 10 seconds" ."
This seems to be the general view,
as you move around the map and
talk to those who have seen both
men fight.
The few who give Conn good
chance believe the Pittsburgher' S
speed will keep Louis baff1ed and
will keep him off balance. They
figure Joe has become adjusted tc
slow moving mastadonS no one
could miss.
When Louis finds he is missing
most of these earlier smashes, he
may get befuddled and lose the
almost perfect balance he always
has shown.

The
SpoRrLIeH1 s
FeIIer Held Flag Winner
For Any Fair Club
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star

Iris Speaker, the gray eagle OF
baseball, who managed Cleveland s
last pennant winner, was talking
about Bob Feller as we stalked the
National Open tournament golfers
In Fort Worth.
''Feller is the big show Iris said
'I mean by that you could transfer
Bob to several other clubs and make
any one of them the flag winner Tor
1941. Take the big kid away from
Cleveland and hand him over to
New York, Chicago, Boston or per-
haps Philadelphia and you'd PROB
ably have a pennant team.
Cleveland has a good ball club. So
have the others. But the big differ
ence is this young pitcher. He's the
reason 1 pick Cleveland to win, and
the reason I'd pick Cleveland in the
next world series. Provided Feller
still is around
Don't you think" I asked Spoke,
shat Cleveland had better open up
q longer lead in case the draft picks
up Feller somewhere in the stretch?, -,
1T wouldn't be a bad idea, =.
Speaker said. The toughest part of
the trip is from August on to the
finish. The moral effect on his team
wouldn't be any too good if Feller
were missing, with only a short lead
to protect
But It's all in the game and 1t
might lead to one Of the hottest
finishes of many years in the upper
bracket" -"

Woods Putting Shift
Factor in Open Win

Craig Woods putting shit mas
brought on more than normal dis
Cussion.
From a poor putter, the new Open
champion now is one OF the best.
I asked Craig Wood about 1t, and ne
said: Through most OF my goltlng
career I always putted crouchlng
over the ball, braced against my
left leg. Now there's even more
tension in putting than anything
else. 1t is by all odds the most dell
cate stroke in golf. 1t calls LOT
more nerve control.
In bending over, I was tightening
up every muscle in my body. l
finally decided to change, under
sound advice. In standing stralgnter
over the ball, l was able to reueVe
most of this tension.
81 also went in for more OF a
pendulum stroke. No good putter
ever can get anywhere with a jap
or a stab. 1t must be a smooth, even
stroke. You may recall how Bobby
Jones stood up and stroked the ball
when he was winning all his cham
pionships."
It might be suggested here that
II Craig Wood had been as good a
putter from the start of his career,
he would have cleaned up at least
five or six more major titles. He
always has been a long, straight
hitter and a high class iron player.
For wears he lost his chances around
the green. It's different now. The
good luck is that Woods change
in putting style came before it was
too late.
