THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1947 U.S. Celebrities Meet On Links, Aid of Juveniles By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, May 13--(CP)--Be- cause juvenile delinquency is on the increase in the United States, a group of oddly-assorted characters will play golf together in Washing- ton next ° rsonae included Hildegarde, Bing oot oy Babe Ruth, three Cabinet Members, three Senators, two Sup- reme Court Justices and A.

TECHNIQUE OF DOWNSWING IS EXACTING immy Demaret, one golf's big money winners, whips the club down and through the ball. A, shows alignment just before impact on a wood shot. B, shows position after impact on iron shot. By ALEX J. MORRISON "What to do during the down- swing?" asks Chris Fox, of EI Paso, Tex, One could expect a question like this from Chris. For many years he claimed that his duties as sheriff and leader of numerous civic activities didn't allow time for golf.. I always felt that he had other reasons for not getting out on the course. "Crispy" Fox, with six-shooter hung on his tall, husky frame, looked like a real western sheriff. On my visits to El Paso he would drive me out to the golf course but nary a clud would he touch. He thought he would look like a sissy hitting a little defenceless ball, But, as Chris added years and pounds he turned in his badge and took up less strenuous work. Now he would like to make friends with hls old golf clubs. In reply to his question about the downswing, I told him there wasn't much he could do other than to whip the club downward through the ball and keep his head in position until he had completed the swing. There's more to this answer than you'll get in the first read- ing, better read it again and at least again. This is the situation in the golf swing. The starting position and backswing represent the time of preparation, the aim- ing and setting of the gun, you might say, and pulling back the trigger. The downswing simply finds the trigger or mainspring released and the gun held steady so that you can hit your target. And just like releasing the trig- ger the downswing is no time to fiddle around. Any attempt to adjust or compensate only makes everything worse. It is a fact that your down- swing can't be any better than 1 your backswing so look to the earlier stages for causes and cor- rections of trouble. Do your best to take the club back properly and then make the downswing simply as a completion of that movement, let the club whip right down and through the ball, VIGOR OIL CO.

The Babe could and did toss a baseball 206 feet, thereby proving her arm. In 1934 she pi the first in- ning of an exhib game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pct. | Boston Red Sox at Bradenton, Fla. She also took the mound for the House of David nine, acquitting herself nobly. The feats of Babe and Glenna helped to accustom people to the idea that girls and baseball might get along well together. But the real break for women interested in the sport came with the depression years, when softball gained popu- larity. Girls as well as boys had played the game at recreation centres. When men took softball away from children's playgrounds and began playing in their back yards to for- get monetary troubles, women knew the score. They were quick to form teams. At first the fame enjoyed purely local popularity, particular ly in small Canadian and US, towns, but at tthe 1933 Chicago Century of Progress Exposition a softball tournament attracted a good deal of attention, As a result, the first meeting of team leaders was arranged, 'and the Amateur Softball Association came into be- ing. The ASA, taking cognizance the fact that teams participating in the Chicago tournament played un- der many different sets of rules, took steps to standardize both rules and equipment. Moreover, it made Provisions for a 1033 world's series for meen and women at Chicago, To the amazement of everyone, there was healthy national repre- sentation, and girl entrants were particularly enthusiastic. Now the ladies hold most of the softball spotlight. They have a lot of crowd appeal, and there is no denying the fact that they can play the game really well. As their feat gained publicity, owners of manufacturing concerns in the US. and Canada began to realize that they could publicize their companies with girls' teams. £ Girls Couldn't Get Into Big League Ball So They Started One for Themselves The sharp eye of Max Carey, formerly a great outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, saw possibilities in women's enthusiasm for softball and baseball. Max had been hired in 1931 to succeed Wilbert Rabinson as manager of the Brooklyn Dodg- of | ers, then the Robins. He was un- ceremoniously relieved of his posi- tion in 1934, when the girls' game was gaining momentum rapidly. Carey kept his eye on the girl play- ers who really appeared to be top- notch material. When in 1948 Phil Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, decided to finance the formation of a girls' professional league, Carey got in on the ground floor. 'Wrigley and a group of baseball and softball experts worked out a hybrid game--a cross between soft- ball and baseball. The ball was to be pitctied underhand, but other- wise baseball rules were to apply. The pitching distance was made shorter than in baseball. were set farther apart than in softball, but not so far as in base- ball, and the ball to be used was tion Canad, List of Hockey Champions By The Canadian Press ALLAN CUP WINNERS Canadian Senior Amateur Championships Winners of the Allan Cup, presented by Sir Montague Allan for competi senior 1908--Ottawa Oliffsides 1010-80 Se 1911--Winni 1912--Win; 1917--Toron! ich n fio Wisiineg, Plots niversity of ronto Toronto Granites oronto Granites Jault Ste.

Informed that Joe Baksi, the Pennsylvania coal miner, was re- considering a title bout next Sep- tember, the champ said " that's okay with me." : "I don't pick 'my opponents," he added. "I never have and I am not going to start now. That's up to the promoters."

The result has been high-class, earnest playing by a group of young women who share the attitude of the professional men players to- ward baseball. The ladies really have something. And it gets to look more and more like straight baseball as the seasons Newark Bears' 'Scoring Spree Downs Royals By The Associated Press Newark Bears, who were on the verge of dropping into the Inter- national League's second division have proved. they possess the punch to go to the top. The Yankee farmhands demon- strated it yesterday when they put on the biggest scoring spree of the league season by overwhelming the defending champion Royals 21-4 at Montreal. Every member of the team except one scored at least once and only two failed to get a hit as the bears pounded five Mon- treal hurlers for 25 blows. Gene Woodling and Al Clark, two youngsters sent to Newark by the Yankees at the start of the season, each banged homers, while Clark listed three doubles and a sing- e. Southpaw Herb Karple went the route for the Bears. Jersey City's Little Giants stayed at the top by victimizing Toronto Maple Leafs in similar vein, chas- ing three hurlers for 19 hits in a 14-3 rout at Toronto. The Giants blasted Luke Hamlin from the mound with a five-run attack in the first inning. Mickey Grasso, aiming to regain a berth with the parent New York Giants, made two circuit trips. Rochester Red Wings came from behind to upset the second-place Syracuse Chiefs 9-5 in the opener of a three-game series at Roches- Margaret Villa, an All-American Girls' league star; Max Carey, inset.

Later he gained the league presi- dency, and throughout his associa- tion with the girls' venture has taken his duties very seriously. Carey discovered that girls who had starred in softball after office hour's, despairing of ever getting into base- ball, were excellent material. Under his coaching they developed into outstanding drawing cards, and last year proved better draws than the men players in many of baseball's minor league loops.
