Was walking down the street last Sunday, when a perfect army of mo torcycles swept past me with a thun dering wave of noise. Gaily clad girls were seated on the rear of the motor with the escorts weaving the heavy machines in and out of the traffic. It brings to us the realiza tion that the young set of the United States are taking up a pastime which was one of the most popular outdoor sports in the annals of American recreation. Right here in Savannah on the old Bethesda track, there used to be staged some of the fastest events in the nation with the country's finest riders vleing for hon or positions in the races.

The last 250 mile race staged at Bethesda last year, brought back memories to the old fans, as they sift on the high banked curves and watched the modern speed creations swoop into the curves with the every sense of perfect safe ty and comfort as only the present manufacturing methods can instill into the racing heart of a power plant. Practically every Sunday finds the local caravan of motorcycle enthu siasts climbing onto the saddles oi their mounts, preparing to go places and do things. Whether it be in Georgia, Florida, North or South Carolina, distance means nothing to the daredevils which ride their two wheeled cycles. All of which brings to me the ful realization of the time that I fell on one . . . I • • • The action of the Chamber of Commerce In bringing to the city of Savannah a major National golf tour nament, has at least answered the crying needs of the city to play host once more to an event of this kind. The last golf tournament to be staged in the city in which nationally known pros competed was in 1930, when Hor ton Smith who had just made his winter debut on the links in Florida, was the talk of the country with his par shattering rounds. Bobby Jones came here from one of his frequenj retirements, and although clearly showing the complete lack of the old putting touch, finished t.\? event only two strokes behind tne "Joplin Ghost." Wee Willie Cruickshank. Tommy Armour, Johnny Farrell, and a host of other stars made their rounds over the historic Savannah Golf course. Every day the fans crowded the various stars watching their every move as only golf starved spectators can do. Let's keep events of this kind coming here, it certainly will help boost Savannah among the sporting elite of the country! « • • Summertime brings sailboat racing to the fore again.

LOCAL SWIMMERS IN FIRST TEST AGAINST SEA ISLAND TEAM TODAY The Savannah swimming team, sad ly handicapped by the loss of some of their outstanding stars, will swim ! the Sea Island team this afternoon • in the fast Casino Pool at the Island resort. The meet is scheduled for 3 o’clock and a large number of Savan nahians are expected to make the trip to observe the city’s re-entry into fast swimming circles. A comparatively small team will take to the water this afternoon, be cause of the inability of the rest of the contigent to get in shape for ac tion against the highly touted Sea Island aggregation. The free stylers will have their full strength, with Reese, Bow’yer, Ellis, Millikan, Rhode and Durkin in prime shape fcr the onslaughts of the Islanders. Reese and Rhode will prove the steading hand for the artists, this pair of vet erans having seen many battles on the aquatic fronts. The diving events will be taken care of by "Butch” Atkinson and Buddy Reese. Having conquered a routine of difficult optional dives this pair will climb the rungs of the ten foot tower with but one hope in mind—that being to take the measure of the high board star of the Sea Island club Tom Powell. Also to as sume the responsibility of upholding Savannah's claim to breaststroke honors, this duo of swimmers will take to the water in the 100 yard breast stroke race against some of the fastest swimmers in the Southeast.

The American champion defeated Mrs. Hilda Sperling of Denmark and Germany, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, in the final round. Miss Jacobs took the first set with a series of skimming chops and volleys. In the second set, Mrs. Sperling braced. She attacked with deep drives to take the set, 6-4, and even the match. The deciding set was a battle roy al, with both women playing bril liant tennis. The American cham pion was too swift for her opponent and broke through to win the final and deciding set at 7-5. The Wim bledon crown was the only major women’s tennis honor that Miss Jacobs had never held. It was a popular victory. The large Wembledon crowd cheered wild ly as the players rushed to the net to shake hands. Miss Jacobs found that to pass Mrs. Sperling at the net was like boring through a stone wall. Time and again Mrs. Sperling made almost impossible volleys from the net. The second set was a baseline duel, with Miss Jacobs’ relying chiefly on her famed chop shot. The final set saw many deaiced games. Each player was seeking her first Wimbledon title. Miss Jacobs I had reached the final four times, only to lose out in the championship I match.

Our audi ence was comfortably seated in the shade of trees around the first tee while we demonstrated the main essentials of the correct swing. I pointed out the proper foot action, head position and wrist action as the three most import ant funmentals, and told the crowd that they should .be learned in the order named. After the demonstration we played 18 holes during which the gallery was al lowed. to ask questions about the game. Having named foot actioh as the first thing to watch in the expert’s swing and the one thing which indicates the difference be tween the good and indifferent player, I expected all eyes to be on Picard’s feet. Comparatively few players seemed interested in this item, they all looked to other parts of his swing. To the player who can’t break 80, foot action should be the first consideration. Next: Travis, the Cautious.
