Mats

Scarboroughs balks, which per-
mitted jeff Heath to score.
The Mats sliced that advantage to
81 in the second when Vernon
doubled, took third after Spence
flied to center, and scored when
Third Baseman Bob Dillinger
stabbed Jerry Priddy's hot grounder,
then threw wild past the plate at
tempting to nip Mickey.
Scarborough suffered additional
embarrassment in the fifth, when
the Browns raped him for four
runs. With one out, Lehner doubled
to left and Heath walked. Vernon
Stephens single fetched Lehner
across and Walt Judnich's triple
scored Heath and Stephens. Scar
borough then baked again, enabling
Judnich to score.
Lewis doubled to center opening
the Mats eighth, moved to third on
Vernon's inf1eld out and scored when
Umpire Joe Boyer called a balk on
Zoldak, who limited the Mats to
seven hits. 1t was Zoldak's fourth
victory of the season and three of
his wins have been at the Mats
expense.
Stephens Hits Homer.
Scott Cary was the victim Of the
Browns final two runs, achieved in
the ninth when Stephens rammed a
home run to the center field corner
after Heath had walked.
Willard Brown, St. Louis Negro
outflelder who made his Griffith
Stadium debut, failed to hit in five
attempts, reaching base in the first
inning on Christman's tumble of his
grounder, flying out three times and
striking out on his final appearance.
Stephens fashioned three of the
Browns eight hits, with Lehner get
ting two more.
The Mats and Browns will tangle

Kinder, who has won six and lost
seven, will pitch for st. Louis.

Learning to
SWIM
and Lea Kick
By Joe RanSavage
Instructor. Columbia Country Club.

3-GIide and Leg Kick
With the confidence developed
in the breathing and floating
exercises, you are ready for the
first swimming movements by
using your feet. Start kicking.
Begin by doing a dead mans
float, or glide, on the surface.
Hold your hands side by side over
your head, put your face in the
water and give yourself a forward
shove from the edge Of the pool
or from the bottom. Avoid rails
ing your head. While gliding your
face remains in the water, your
ears between your arms.
The momentum Of the for
ward shove will make you glide
IS or 20 feet on the surface.
after q few trials, start kicking.
Hold your legs straight and toes
turned in, barely touching each
other, with only a little fiex at
your knees. At first you may
move slowly or not at all, but
before long you'll find yourself
gliding forward.
Power can be developed by
constant and hard practice. 1t
is important that you develop
a strong kick. Only then will you
have that smooth, gliding SWIM
ming stroke, seemingly without
effort. Continued tomorrow

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Nat
Fleischer and Jersey Jones, q
couple Of authorities on the old
days Of boxing, were discussing
the lamentable plight of small
boxing clubs. >. Conditions are
worse than at any time during
the last decade; much worse
than in pre-war days." Nat pro-
claimed. Small clubs are closing
all over the country or running
only occasional shows where they
used to run weekly. It's due to
lack of patronage and too many
licenses being issued. During
the war they catered to indus
trial centers and now the fac
tories are closed" Sure"
the fast-talking Jones agreed,
"and you gotta consider costs and
the fact they're not developing
new talent. I remember
when prelim boys got So for
four-rounder and any boy that
survived the first year was
finished fighter. He had to be
good. There wasn't any use get
ting your brains Dashed out for
two bucks" Jersey sighed:
"Of course, there's no compari-
son. The gag is what's two bits?
A buck with the taxes taken out"

Al Monmouth
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

OCEANPORT, N. j., July So
Monmouth Park closes its second
season Of the sport Of kings today
Then the hayburners and most Of
the little men who have been boot
ing them around the Monmouth oval
move slightly south to Atlantic City,
where officials are hopeful OF a
banner session.
Ofrcials at Monmouth say they
are well pleased with the results Of
their meeting which produced at
tendance and wagering beyond any
expectation. Unlike last year when
the track was forced to open before
construction was completed, Mon
mouth was ready, willing and able
to 90 all out and 1t did during the
1947 session.
Twelve 2-year- -olds are entered in
the 10000 Sapling Stakes to be run
for the second time today as the
feature event Of the closing program.
King Ranch's Task and Jaclyn
Stables Curvaceous probably will
rule the favorites.
Meanwhile at Atlantic City Jack
Kelly, track president, and other
officials were readying for the al
day meeting opening tomorrow.
While Kelly would not predict as
to attendance or mutuel handle, 1t
was obvious that he expected the
track to at least equal the $24,016,910
that went through mutuel machines
during last summers inaugural "a
day meet-an average of $1,000, 900
a day.
Thomas J. Lyons cited the fact
that this second session would be
without competition from Delaware
Park or any other close source as
was the first meeting last, June. He
also pointed out that the New Jersey
mutuel take is per cent less than
in New York.
That per cent difference was re-
ported to have doomed Monmouth
attendance and Is expected to lure
New Workers to Atlantic City.
Feature of the Atlantic City open
ing is a renewal Of the $4,000 added
6-furlong Pageant Handicap which
is expected to feature such outstand-
ing horses as Inroc, The Dodge,
Scholarship, Lighthouse and Greek
Warrior. Polynesian, who won the
event last year in record time, is
eligible, but Is being prepped for
Saturdays All-American Handicap,
a $25 900 mile-and-three- sixteenth
run.
The $4,000 added Neptune and
olympic Handicaps and the $25, 900
Miss America race are other feature
stakes to be run at the meeting.

Linkswomen Play Of
1hree-Way Tie in
Star Cup. Tourney
By MerreII WhittIesey

II the playoff scores today in the
30th annual Star Cup tournament
are bit higher than yesterdays
original efforts, it will be an excus-
able slip on the part Of the three
players who tied for the cup
because they will be trying to i'm
prove on their very best rounds.
Mrs. Henry Goodman Of the host
Woodmont Club and Mrs. Arnold
Wilcox of Chevy Chase, both with
83-9-74, and Mrs. william Abel Of
Columbia with 89-15-74, posted
their lowest competitive efforts in
the 1S-hole medal tournament for
Glass A players.
Mrs. Goodman, the host club
champion, played the new nine
holes at Woodmont in 40 and added
a 43 for 80, the first time she had
been under IS. Mrs. Wilcox, who
had deducted three strokes from her
handicap in the last few weeks, had
42-41-83 and Mrs. Abel, Glass B
player at the beginning Of the sea-
son, broke 80 for the first time IN
creating a three-way deadlock.
In conforming to the Women's
District Golf Association rule of
settling ties within three days, and
with their own plans, the co-leaders
of the field OF 80 decided to settle
the disposition of the cup in today's
playod.
Mrs. Walper Shoots 81.
There was a four-way tie for the
big cup for few minutes when Mrs.
Marie Walper posted an 50 with a
handicap for a IA, but Mrs. Walper
had not been informed Of the latest
handicap changes and with her new
allowance Of seven, the Prince
Georges club titlist finished one
stroke back.
In a day when six players shot IS
or better, Mrs. Walper's excellent
effort of 40-42-s2 stood up for low
gross honors. Two Of the players
in the cup tie had S3s, Mrs. Betty
Meckley of Kenwood and Anne
Stonemetz of Army Navy, 84s, and
