Ramos Opposes Larsen
The Senators want to do
themselves and the American
League a favor by keeping the
Yankees from rising to their
customary perch atop the heap,
at least temporarily. With that
in mind they'll fire Pedro Ramos
against the champions tonight.
Ramos, who beat Baltimore,
80. and Boston, 7-5, will be
opposed by Don Larsen of per-
fect-game fame. Larsen worked
seven innings against the ORR

PATIENTS COMPLAINT
my game goes from bad to
worse!"
DIAGNOSIS: Faulty grip
ping.
TREATMENT: Those of us
who teach golf may differ or
some minor points. But we
all agree that the Importance
OF the proper grip cannot be
over-emphasized. The grip
being the only tangible link
between the player and the
club, it's obvious that a wrong
grip can nullify any and
all right things done by the
body-the feet, and the rest
of it.
Here we see bottom view
Of the grip. 1t shows that the
palm and fingers combine to
produce the proper grip in the
left hand, and that the right
hand grip is essentially in the
fingers. The little finger of the
right hand lies in the groove
between the index and middle
fingers of the left hand. and
should apply some slight pres
sure of its own.
The main pressure to be ap-
piled in the left hand is in
the last three fingers nearest
the end of the grip. The main
pressure point in the right
hand is in the middle and
ring fingers. The proper over
all pressure is best described
as gentle but firm"
Experts agree on a few other
points, too, as I've implied

hum category because it isn't

There's no necessity for dou-
ble-headers. insofar as the
schedule is CONCERNED. Between
the start Of the season and the
All-Star Game recess in early
July, the Senators have Is open
dates. Custom dictates that
double-headers are desirable
and there are loud squawks
when the number is reduced,
but fans who will sit through
both games Of a double-header
are dwindling.
There's doubt If a show fea-
turing Bob Hope, Bing Crosby,
Jack Benny, Brigitte Bardot,

Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatrs
could hold the attention OF an
audience as long as the time
consumed by most double-head-
ers. Baseball's brass could think
it has a superior show. in which
case baseball's brass could be
mistaken.
All 1t requires is a fleeting
glimpse around a ball park al

that baseball is offering more

Minis Hopeful

At Big Money

Holly Minis. the Washington
middleweieht who has been
ranked among the first 10 of
his division for the last half
dozen years or so, thinks it's
about time he got the money
supposed to go with such a
position.
Minis case is an odd one.
Since he first got a mention in
the ratings in 1851 he never
has dropped far out of the first
10, but he also never has
worked his way to the top.
Now he's No. 5 on the Ring
Magazine list and No. 8 ac-
cording to the National Boxing
Association.
Minis, now 80 years old. is
fighting another veteran Of the
middleweight rankings. 28-
year-old joey Giardello Of Phil
adelphia. at Capitol Arena two
weeks from Wednesday night.
May 6. Giardello this month
is No. Z according to both the
Ring and MIA lists.
Minis will get the standard
television pay, about $4,000 for
this fight, but these things
don't come up often enough and
Holly wants to get into the
slightly higher bracket of a
title contender, or even title
holder.
Minis is not starving, or any,
thing like that for lack of box
ing fees; it's just that. as he
puts it, I'm tired of boxing for
beans. I'd like to box for pork
chops for a change"
