PAGE EIGHT Twenty-Eight Rounds Of Boxing Scheduled On Card Tonight AT FRANK'S ARENA [ Slugger White, Sammie ‘ Banks Fight in | Return Bout A dibian Promoter K. O, Franks will off er local boxing fans another great card at his arena tonight, whun% gsome 28 rounds of fine fig]ltin:‘ will be staged. The ar2na is lo cated on the corner of Foundry and Oconee streets, and the ad mission will be 25 cents for wom- | en and children, and 40 cents for) men. ‘) A ten round match l)etweon’ Happy. Custiss of Atlanta andl Harold Moore of Griffin will b-}i the feature of the card, with an eight - rounder bhetween Sammie Banks and Slugger White as thnl semi-final. Although the card does not have any exceptionally well known fighters on it, it promises to be one of the best that has been put| on here. Curtiss and Moore, the two headliners, are both good| fighters, and had rather slug it out, than to win on a d¢cision. ] Moore fought on th= card last| ) i week, Dbeing' knocked out by! Sailor Ernie Samples, the middle weight champion of the south, in! the fifth round of a scheduled ten round fight. Samples caught him! before he could get away, from his corner, however, and got home the blow that decided the fight. Up until that time Moore had car- | ried the fight, and had won all the rounds. " Curtiss is a veteran of the ring, having fought for five or gix years in and around Atlanta, He has won. from some of the best south ern battlers in the game, and will give the lefthanded Moore plenty of trouble. The Slugger White - Sammie Banks match will be a return bout, the two colored boys having fought to a draw last week, in one of the best fights ever held here. L Last week the boys mixed it up in grand style, and this week promises to see more slugging than did the first fight. Neither will be satisfied with less than a knockout, and it is very doubtful ,hthe battls will last the route. No atter how long it goes, though, the fans will- get their money's worth out of it. Up until last week White had won all his fights, and he will be ~out to show the Atlanta Negro that he is really a better man than he showed in the fight, while . Banks will try to convince White ~that it was just luck that he got a draw decision. | . A six round fight b=tween Ed O'Farrell and Floyd Smith, two _ Athens boys, is scheduled to bring ;&wt some real old fashion punch ;%jn, with the one that gets in the first good blow being the winner. '!‘mrrell is new to Athens box ing fans, and will be out to im _ presg them with his ability. He is a big fellow, weighing around 200 pounds, and packs a wallop in . either Tist, . i"*%‘ , opponent, Smith, has fought ”zw winning both times, hfi has proven his ability as a fighter.

GITVZENS DEFEATS FIREMEN *MONDAY IN DIAMOND [OOP Pharmacy Team Ekes Out 5 to 4 Victory in Creat Came Citizens Pharmacy defeated the Firemen yesterday, to go into a tie for first place with them in the “A" division of the Diamond Ball league, 5 to 4. The game was the best that has been played this year, and it did not seem just for either side to lose. The game only went seven in nings, the two managers of the teams agreeing on the time be fore the game started. In the sixth inning, with the Firemen leading 3 to 1, Citizens went on a scoring spree that net teqd four runs before the inning was over. The lead proved to be enough for them, although it looked as though the Firemen might tie up things, or even win the game, in their half of the seventh. However, with two men on base, and only one run behind, the last batter popped up to the first baseman, ending the game. The game, although played on a muddy field, and with a wet and slippery ball, was a great pitchers battle between “F'lip’” Costa of the Firemen,/ and Jimmy Whittner of the Citizens team. Neither of these two hurlers showed oppos ing batters anything good to hit, and in the pinches ‘they were very effective. The Citizens team collected 13 safeties off the offerings of Costa, but jgnany of them -should have been outs, and probably would have been, if the field had been dry. But the same thing goes for some of the hits that Pitcher Whittner gave up. The Firemen hit his delivery for ten safe bin gles. The game to decide the winner of the league will probably be played off Thursday afternoon, on the High school field, THE BOX SCORE Firemen— AB R H BERChEm It L v e v 41 8 ettt Bb. i a 4 008 WhoE W 6 ke sy B 8 Beale. db. i v s s ol B 0 Bl BF.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of 12 arti~ . cles on swimming by Ray Daughters, famous Washington Athletic club coach, and tutor of Helene Madison, greatest mermaid of all times, and Jack Medica, foremost male swim mer of the day. By RAY DAUGHTERS Famous Swimming Coach, Wash ington Athletic Club, There are thousands of swim mers in the United States who ¢an negotiate a given length -of water with a crawl stroke that is nearly perfect. Yet there are few champions, or even swimmers of championship class, who can com pete in near-record time. Wherein lies the difficulty that besets the path of those thousands who emulate Johnny Weissmuller, Jack Medica, and Helent Madison? ‘What is the secret of these cham- pions? ! The answer is simple. The day of championg who base their claims to fame solely on the per fected mechanies of free style swimming is over. True enough, perfected stroking is essefitial. But the answer lieg in long, hard days GOLF BALL VEERS OFF LINE IF SWING IS FORCED Poor ghots in golf are not al ways caused by a technical fault of the swing. A ball that strays off -line is caused by forcing the shot, or overswinging. The player e IN THE FULL " GHOT, PIVOT UNTIL. 7| Your Biex s ; PRESENTED j TE HOLE ot o, OH’ © NEA should not hold back or quit on an iron shot. By this I mean retard the swing before impact. The mashie must be played as a controlled shot, since it gives the player a chance to nick up a #troke on par. Therefore, if there is’ any doubt in the player's mind about reaching the objective, a stromger club should be used. Bad tee shots usually can be traced to faulty weight shifting in the downswing. If weight iz not shifted properly to the left leg, the right shoulder drops, causifz the clubhead to hit the ground in front of the ball During the backswing keep the left shoulder up a bit and shift the weight properly in the down swing. This will cure skying. Teeing the ball too high oftne is the cause of tkving.

To date, Jack Medica is the only American who has duplicated the performances of the Japanese ath letes who showed the world in the 1932 Olympic Games that condition and power, combined with a per fected crawl stroke, will win i champlonships. Japanese swim with a free style 's.troke that is the American crawl ‘ln every respect. They lack the Jbig bodies and large hands and [:eet which once were considered so essential. But they win because lthey are in better physical condi i tion and have learned just how to exert more power with the stroke than Americans. : ‘When Medica starts a 500 or { 600-yard race with a sprint, eases | off into a long, gliding crawl, and ! {hen finishes with a blinding burst of speed that breaks his oppon | ents’ backs, it's no accident.

Nashville not only finished ahea of the other clubs in the circuit but the team or some individua Volunteer led in five department of - play — batting, pitching, home runs, runs batted in, and most runs scored.
