his brother Dickie are back at
shortstop and leftfleld, respec-
lively.
Campbell, Joe Smith, McFar-
land and Dickie Smith lead off
the batting order and Vita, who
bats sixth, eXcels in defensive
play. Campbell regards Vita as
one of the best glove men in the
city.
And then, of course, there is
Lou Smith. Lou was an out
standing pitcher for Anacostia
High when the rest of the team
was playing in the midget league.
Later he coached Campbell's
team when the Rebels repre-
sented Precinct No. 5 in the
Police Boys Club League in 1947
and 1948. At 20 he is the Oldest
member of the team by six years.
Smith has started all of the
Rebels games in the second
round of the Anacostia League
season and has received all the
decisions - eight victories and
three defeats. This record at
present has the Rebels shy of
first place by only 81 percentage
points, second to Snug Harbor.
Jack Pry must win it's last
game and Snug Harbor has to
drop one of it's remaining three
in order for the Rebels to get a
crack at the second half cham
pionship. The chances are slim
for Campbell's patched-up squad,
but he likes them.

by his team as they prepare for
the All-Star game in Chicago

Parker said today. Bobby

Hogan Statement
Leads to Forecast
OF Uniform Ball
BY the Asseciated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Taking
cognizance of a recent statement
by Ben Hogan about the size of
the British golf ball, the captain
OF the Royal and Ancient st.
Andrews. ruling body of British
golf, says his country and the
United States may adopt a uni
form ball in the next two years.
It probably will be the larger
American version, he added.
The tendency of thought on
the matter seems to be toward
the larger ball if an agreement
is reached" the official, Lord
Brabazon of Tara, said. "The
feeling is the smaller ball could
be hit too far on American
courses"
Lord Brabazon. one of Eng
lands most fabulous sports and
political figures, is in America
on a combination business and
golf trip. He will attend the
Walker Cup matches at Marion,
Mass, September As.
Hogan, after winning the
British Open at CarnouStie, said
American pros would shoot in
the sos if the smaller ball were
played. Of Hogan, Lord Bra
bacon added: THE Scots idolized
him. I think every one of them
and we had 10000 on the final
day-WaSp pulling for him to win"

In Drills for ANStur Game

head-bumping the Lions got was
in exhibition games.
The best guess around the
training camp is that Parker
feels the prestige of pro football
and of the Lions-iS at stake.
1t took Detroit II years to win
its second title (the first was in
1885, and Parker would like to
stay on top.
He knows only two teams in
league history-the Chicago
Bears Q940-4D and Philadel-
phia Eagles 0948-49)-were able
to retain their titles.
Parker has SO players in camp,
"a of them veterans. Since he
can carry only 33 players on the
roster during the season, at least
one veteran will have to be cut.
The likelihood is that five or six
of the veterans will go.

Congressional pro. and Fred
Bolton of Woodmont. Cox has
neglected his golf due to the
increased play at his home club
but he has been to Goose Creek
for a practice round. and when
he wants to play Witty can pro-
duce some of his old-time form.
Bolton is an inconsistent per-
former but he clouts long ball
and he's the type who would
play his heart out to be able to
say he beat Hogan.
Parking Space Provided. I
Bill McAdams, Jenkins rep
resentative, said today that space
for several thousand cars has
been provided near jenkins
home, on a road about 400 yards
beyond the clubhouse. The road
to the parking lot will be one
way.
The Goose Creek layout has a
par of 10 and it's still unbeaten.
Snead's best was a 70 and Tur-
nesa's a "a. Harrison had rs
there in a pro-amateur. In West
lands practice round he picked
up on one hole and otherwise
was about par.
McAdams said the course has
improved greatly following the
recent rains and will be in good
condition, considering that it
has been in play only three
months.
This will be Hogan's first golf
ing appearance since his British
Open triumph. He has two other
exhibitions scheduled before TAX
ing a delayed vacation in Can
ada.
Any one who saw Hogan here
last year at White Flint would
advise spectators to be on hand
for the clinic. Ben gave one of
the most interesting and in
formative clinics ever presented
last summer, and this time he
undoubtedly will dwell on some
of his theories in his book,

1t was a dozen years ago that

catcher went into the Marines.
We won the Arena League "a
Sunday league for 19-and-under
teams in 1850 for the fourth
time in five years and then we
had to disband."

When Jim Jenkins first showed
off his Goose Greek Club last fall,
several months before the official
opening, he casually mentioned
that he expected to have Ben
Hogan, Sam Snead and some
other name pros play the course
in exhibition matches.
Everybody said that was fine
and a couple of winks were ex-
changed, because almost every
time somebody opens a new golf
course he's always going to have
Snead, Hogan or some of the
other top pros play exhibition
matches. It seldom passes the
talking stage.
But that's where jenkins is
different. He produced. Snead

The type of stance you take on
any shot should insure good bal
ance, be comfortable and pro-
vide firm footing. You should
be anchored firmly to the ground,
but at the same time be able to
make an easy shift of the weight
to the right leg going back.
There are three basic stances,
the square, the closed and the
open. The others are variations
of these. according to the club
being used on the shot. In the
square stance both feet are equi-
distant from an imaginary line
which should parallel the in
tended line of flight.
In the Illustration of the
square stance above, the white
tape is used to illustrate the re-
lationship of the feet to the line
of flight. A medium iron, a No.
5, is used in this picture and the
ball is played from a line which,
if extended back, would run two
inches inside the left heel.
The five iron is the dividing
iron between short irons and
long ones and most of the top
players use a slightly opened
stance for the short irons up to
the five. From there on up
through the long irons, the four,
three, two and one. however, the
stance increases in width and
becomes squarer.

Fans Will GET Look
Al NewCoIts Tonight;
Coach Optimistic
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 6.-Balti-
more football fans who pledged
to buy $4,000 season tickets will
get a look at their investment
when the Colts play an intra-
squad game at $50 tonight at
Municipal Stadium.
The town had to buy that
many tickets last winter to get
back the franchise they sur
rendered in the National Foot
ball League after the 1850 sea-
son. At that time, there wasn't
an owner, coach or player signed.
All of that's been settled and
more than so players have been
practicing under Coach Keith
MoleSworth at Western Mary
land College in Westminster.
The fans can take cheer from
Molesworth's statement that his
fears about the linebacker situa-
ton may be unjustif1ed. The
coach had rated it one of the
weakest links on the Dallas
squad from which the Colts are
being rebuilt.
But Molesworth said yester-
day, "I think we're in pretty
good shape for linebackers."
These include Ed Sharkey,
picked up in a trade with Cleve-
land; Alex Agase, formerly of the
Browns, who helped coach the
Texans last year; Joe Reid, who
played with Los Angeles and
Dallas; Keith Flowers, former
Texan, and Joe Dean Tidwell,
former MidweStern fullback.
Bobby Williams, Baltimorean
and former Notre Dame star and
member of the Chicago Bears,
appears to have the starting
quarterback job sewed up.
