Harmon, N. E. Net Champ,
 After MiddIesex Bowl

Newton, Mass, June 0--(UP)- Top-seeded Bob Harmon of San Francisco, Cal, who won the New England tennis title at Hartford, Conn.,. yesterday, starts his drive today to catch the field in the Mid- dlesex Bowl championship.
 Paul Guibord of Reading, second seeded and New England's first- ranking player, led the advance in yesterdays play with twin tri- tlmphs. Guibord, stellar amateur hockey player, won his opening match with loss of only four games to Harry Sewall of Duke university. Tn the second round. he eliminated Orne Wilson of Harvard, 60, 4-6, 6-2.
 Third -seeded Cnsuncey D. Steele of New York was extended to de. feat Walter Austrey of Providence, R. l., 7-5, 7-5, but then dropped but three games in trouncing Frank Hill. Jr., also of Providence.
 West Hartford, Conn, June o. (UP)--Bob Harmon, plucky San Francisco player. today held the New England Tennis championship after an uphill victory over first seeded Joe Fishbach, New York.

 He did neither. Snead ate Q chick en sandwich while c doctor went to work on his back with handages and adhesive tape, Occasionally Snead would get off the table, swing club and ask the physician to re- adjust the bangades,
 My back started hurting when I hit one off the first tee this mornp Ing" Snead said. At No, II 1t felt like I pulled Q muscle or something lose and after that the pain got worse"
 So he went out that afternoon, clipped Wur strokes off his morning round and came in with a creditabie g.
 Snehd said he played on through the afternoon because he wanted 10 finish among the top 90 men and thereby be automatically qualified for next years open, But think the picture that leered at him from walls and fences had something to do with his decision to go uot there and take It for l8 painful holes. l think something inside of him caught fire and made him want to show us that we had been wrong about him all these years,
 That was the kind of victory Snead won and In Its way is almost as important as the one Craig Wood won.

The Dutchman could thread e needle with the ball, but 1t never occurred to ShoelesS Joe that the southpaW might have been trying to loosen him up nor was he per- ticularly concerned about it, Shoe- less Joe thought of only one thing ---pickling the pill.

 Johnny Mize is e terrific hitter. National League pitchers tell you he never offers at a bad ball, which is not tho least reason why tho Cardinal luminary is so formida. ble.
 Pete Reiser Of tho BrooklynS has R beautiful swing, but wouldn't be where he Is if he didn't keep his mind on his work,
 The swings the thing, but only when 1t brings the bat Into the ball. Looking at Lou Boudreau Of Cleveland you wonder how he ever gets a hit The Illinois product twists himself up like . pretzel, wraps his bat around his neck, yet manages to get tho bat around to

Natural Swinger Has An Edge, But Application Makes Batter Great
Best Hitters Have Altered Their Styles
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Hitting comes easier to the nats ural gwlnger, but it iS application that makes Q batter great.
 Manufactured hltters haven't done badly, Hank Qroenberg and Joe cronln are striking examples,
 Cronln argues that any one who has good eyes and Is strong should be Q fair sort Of a hitter provided he is unafrald and has no physical handicap such as being muscle bound,
 Practice makes perfect ln batting aS in everything else,
 Cronin contends that most sos called natural swings are devel. oped,
 The manager of the Red Box saw Joe DiMagEio as @ kid in San Francisco, knows how the free SwlnRer of the Yankees worked oil his method of blasting,
 Ted Williams has on exception. ally flnc pair of wrists, which are the source of the thin ones affiEa. Ing power, but the San Diego lad toIled long and hard to learn how to handle a bat like an accom-. pllshed golfer handles a club.

 Remarkable hitters have broken down their swings entirely and re. built with tremendous success,

 Heilmann talked batting with Ty Cobb with the result that he crowded and bent over the plate aS did the Georgia Peach.
 Cobb took advantage of every. thing at the plate. He was c line drive hitter, but frequently drove balls into the dirt with the Idea of beating out infield hits.

Ing reminded of how he blew the best chance he may ever nave to win the Open.
 Couldn't Bend
 Tn the face of that he was up among the leaders at the half way point, On Saturday morning when the last two rounds started his back became so painful that he couldn't bend over and e fork of fire shot through his muscles every time he lifted his arms to swing Q club. The crowd was all for him when he limped onto the 18th green atphe end of the morning round and tried to bend over to line up tough putt. It was no use. The pain was too much and he had to hit 1t without lining the ball and the pin, He had a 77 on that round and when he went into the locker room many persons thought he either would

OnAbgV EEVBD 6VUKhD hsWbbVE
 Fort Worth, Tex, June Q. (UP)-- Craig Wood had Q sore back and won the national open golf cham. pionship. Samuel Jackson Snead also had G sore back and he also won quite a victory. It was not 6 victory in the usual meaning of the word--nobody handed Snead $i ,000; no crowd gathered to pump his hand nnd ask for his auto. graph; no one brought congratula- tory telegrams and handed them to hilm. It was q quiet victory and one that was won at the cost Of consid- crablc physical pain.
 Snead finished in Q tic for 18th place. He played his last two rounds in agony and was unable to stoop over tho line up puts or pick & bill out Of the cup. He would have been fully Justified in withdrawing from the tournament but he went limping on around the fairways, giving his best eevyr shot. Many persons have written and spoken harsh words about Snead and I have been among them. We have said that he lacked courage, that he contracted the ieapng jitters ghen the big tournaments rolled around and that the man possessing the finest nat. ural swing in golf never would win a major event because the competi. tive spark just wasn't there
 Apology
 After seeing what happened at the Colonial Golf Club this would be nice time for all of us to get together and tender Snesd an apology. Herewith is mine. Every thing was stacked against Snead here. His back hurt painfully, but what hurt more was that the ghost 10 his past was haunting him from the walls and fences of the Colonial club.
 A magazine carried an article last week on the Open and one Of the H. lustrations showed Snead just after he had taken hLs disastrous eight on the final hole of the Open at Phila- delphia in 1889. That eight cost him the tournament and added to the legend that he had no heart. The picture showed Snead wearing an agonized expression on his face. Posters bearing the illustration were placed all around the course and 1t was impossible for Snead to walk out of the locker room without be-
