In this discussion of the Tent

gun last Week. it should be under-
st ed that tile
go for who has
these faults of
play. or any one
of them to any
marked degree;
will lose rhythm
and timing. Thus
the first thing to
learn is that
rhythm a‘ tim-
ing are what pro-
tect the golf ball.
and all effort to‘
ward progress
should be direct-
..ed to that end.
The easily-swung
» club with rhythm
and timing will drive a ball farther
than the swing with a body lungo
and an ex inc. of effort. The
hard-hit b is projected from the
club swung with the maximum of
speed attainable with control of the
club plus rhythm of timing. Those
three always go 'togethcr. so that
rule l with all learning glitters must
be to learn to control the club at all
times and give it time to swing
rhythmically so that timing will re-
suit.

through the few months when.
racing shells are idle.
There are two'lrcws here that
could show the way to either l-lar-
vard or Yale over a four-mile course
which is the distance to be rowed.
One is Washington and the other is
the Navy.’ One of these crows will in
all probability finish in front, the
betting favors Washington 1 tonight.
but the indications are that the west-
erners and the Annapolis outfit will
go to the post at very nearly even
money. There was some real cash
wagered here today at 2 to 1 that
Washington would win. But as re.
ports from across the river begun
to tickle fit, most of them to the cf-
t'ect that the Navy crew was in much
better iorm that ,llad ever been sus-
pected. the odds begun to subside
and there was a trend fewerd even
money.
In this wild scramble of sMntesn
crews. freshmen, Juniors and var-
sity—it is a difficult matter to pick
wlnuets. The best bets, however. are
Washington in the senior event.
Syracuse in the Junior varsity-and
Pennsylvania among the freshmen.
The Navy crew may possibly nose
out the sweepmvingers from the
west. partic isrly if anything go
wrong with t e Washington boat.
Washington, which has won the in-
tercollegiate title two years in sue-
cession. looks as good this year as it
(did last. There is Dow Walling at No.
6'. Sanford at. No. 7 and Capisth
Luff at No 2. The Washington crew
is built around these three men and
no better foundation for, s. winning
combination could be conceived. All
are experienced oarsmen and swing
wicked sweeps. Walling is the heart
and spirit of the outfit and it is his
car that is expected to carry the
crew through to‘ victory.-
Washington. however. has had no
actual competition-since it packed
its shell on a flat car in California
and started for the. Atlantic coast.
That means something. The other
crews. with the exception of Wis-
in competition
throughout the season. In the par-
lance of the prize ring. they have a,
number of fights "under their belts"
and this should‘ prove to be a fac-
tor in their favor.
The Navy crew that Annapolis has
sent. to.the Hudson this-year is a
typical Navy crew. For brawn and
power there is no crew on the river
that matches it. The crew rows the
typical Glendon stroke. the inboard
bringing the oars up to the chin at.
the finish drive on the backs of the
oarsmen. Only the giants turned
out by the Navy could row such a
stroke and get away with it over a
course of four miles. It is a fine-
looking stroke. long and graceful.
but the strain that the finishing
drive must entail may.spcll‘dsfent

Be Well Balanced and
Whittled Down—Pitchers Getting an Aw-
ful Clouting Lately
By JOHN ll. l-‘Ob'l‘l'l B
(Copyright.1025)
NEW. YORK. June 2‘2.-——'l‘liis
baseball season has been marked.
more than most seasons. by the in.
ability of any of the big league
tennis to get ilito continued action
and run 11p a long series of victo-
ries. That fact. perhaps. more than
any other. explains the closeness of
the races. ‘
if a team like the Athletics. or
the Washingtons. or'tllu Giants. or
the Pirates, could have done that
sort of thins. the championship
might easily have become jug han-
dled for the little being. Suppose the
Giants. with their top-heavy win-
ning percentage of recent. date. had
been able to add to their perform-
ance one of the famous winning
streaks for which they acquired a
reputation in other years. They
would have run so far away from
their rivals that they probably
never would h ve been headed.
As it is. the have had a lead. at
one time prodigious. whittled away '
until now they have the same sort
of scramble ahead of them that. tho
rest of the league is facing.
Managers of- several of the teams
mentioned attribute. the re ent in-
ability to "streak away" r m the
field lto the lack of enough good
pitchers. Nearly everything that
goes wrong these days 'is attributed
to pitchers or the lack thereof.
while the pitchers come back with
the reply that it is the lively ball
that' is responsible. The pitchers
will not concede that they have lost
the high standard that was in ex-
istenco before the war. '
Some pitchers who don't blame
their downfall entirely on the lively
ball .uttribute it to th
the spit ball. Yet. it is of known
fact that with perhaps the excep-
tions. the great pitchers of the
game's history have never used the
spitb'all.
The best record ever made by a
pitcher—that of Fred Sc'hupp. the
left header of the Giants—was
made by him without any aids save
a curve. speed and a slight change
of pace. 1111 fact. no left header of
great reputation ever used the spit
ball. ’aljld Mathewson and Young
were!“ against it. ,
Pitchers have been receiving an
the last two
weeks. and most,“ them have been
batted flit of the~box because they
have had nothing but brute force
to fall beckon when they were be-
in; bit, If there is no curve. or
change of pace to fool the button
When the batting urge has them.
they will smash the dayligbts out of
any pitcher who livies'.
Ty Cobb says that if a team in
either league streaks away with a
long series of victories in August
it will attach the ”mat. Tet Ty
isn't predicting that his tun
do it.
