Coaches Claim to Be Calling Feller's Pitches They Had Better Be Sure in Case of Bullet Bob;
 Guessers Can Be Crossed, and It's Dangerous
By Art Krenz

| Al Milnar of the Indians was an open book last term, but the big left- handler copped IS games.
 Urban F'aber swallowed when fak- ing his spitball, did not when he doctored the pellet.
 Faber's Adams apple told the story. Yet he was Q tough nut down through the years.
 The answer to that was that 1t was difficult to slap Q superlative splitter even when they knew 1t was coming.
 And that was all Red Faber fed the boys at the cashiers cage.
 Those alleged Hollywood Park race fixers will testify sadly to the fact that California is on the right track.
 It isn't Q bad idea to have cap- able criminal lawyer-Jerry Giesler in this case--as chairman of rac- ing and boxing commission.
 Maybe that oxygen mask beak busting brain storm, originating on the Pacific coast, is the solution to Joe Louis.
 But think of what one of those The Bum-of- -the-Month candidates would look like if refilled and rec peatedly showed out in front of Big Butch.

BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Shorts Editor

It may be true that Mule Haas called Bob Feller's pitches when the White Sox beat basebalrs greatest pitcher.
 Many pitchers more often than mol unwittingly reveal to sharp.eyed ob- servers, by peculiar little manner isrns, whether the pitch Is going to be Q fast one or curve.
 But the coach relaying the inc formation to the batter by a shout wants to be sure.
 It's an exeremely dangerous prac- tice.
 The thing can work both ways.
 There is nothing to prevent the pitcher from crossing the coach and hitter.
 It was this fact that prompted the Cleveland Indians on the bench to warn Del Baker during an exhi- bition game at Ft. Myers: "You1l get somebody killed up there, Bak- er" The Detroit managers cry for Feller's hard one was Mall it!"
 It easily could be very unhealthy for an athlete facing Q pitcher as swift as Teller to expect one thing and get another.
 He hasn't time to change his mind.
 Guess hitters look great when what they figured would be thrown is thrown, ard just as bad when the pitcher indicates one pitch and throws another,
 A pitcher as wise and rrlechan- ically perfect as Teller quickly will hide his cards. if he is showing them.
 But some pitchers go on winning even though the enemy claims to know what is coming.
 The Yankees and Tigers contend

Wood Closed Face Player And An Open-Face Hitter
Cures Hook By Turning Left
 Hand To Left
Third of six informative and instructive articles.
H17;2E
Winner of Masters' Tournament and Colfs Foremost Teacher


 and COlf's Foremost Teacher
 New York, April 24 - was . chronic hooker while hitting the ball with the face of the clubhead closed at impact.
 I eliminated the hook by turning my left hand 8 bit to the left, thus seeing that 1t was not so much to- ward the top of the shaft.
 When the left hand is turned toward the right too far, 1t blocks wrist action at impact.
 Before the reader becomes con- fused about the open and closed face, permit me to explain that when the face of the club is poen at the top of the swing 1t must be closed before impact.
 It might be said that I am c closed.face player and an open-face hitter. seldom hook.
 An open face at the top of the swing has the fact of the club at right angles to the ground.
 A closed face at the top of the swing hsa the face of the club turn- ed bit skyward. A closed face at impact has the face turned inward toward the ground. The reverse is true of an open face.
 OPEN FACE AT IMPACT TO HOLD TIGHT GREEN
 An open face at impact imparts slice spin and produces fade. This is preferred when an attempt Is made to hold a tight green.
 Hitting with 6 closed face results in Q hook or a smothered shot. am @ closed-faced player from the No. 2 iron up and the face of my club Is 50 per cent closed at the top of the swing. In this way the ball Is hit lower and thus is better controlled in bad weather, particularly when 1t IS windy.
 Lawson Little offers e striking ex- ample of this. The National Open champion has won several tourna- mentS under unfavorable conditions. ALL LEADING PLAYERS CLOSE FACE SLIGHTLY
 Yet Stewart Maiden, who taught Bobby Jones, advocates an open face at the top of the backswing.
 Note that the hands are lifted high--as high as the head" writes Maiden, that the clubs face is opened well, turning away from the ball 50 that at the top of the swing the clubs toe is pointing directly ct the ground"
 Knowingly or not, however, ct the top of the swing Bobby Jones often had the clubs face slightly closed. Chick Evans employed the closed face. So did Bobby Cruickshank.
 All leading players have the face of the club slightly closed at the top 10 the backswing. My advice to the average player Is to copy them.
