Rosenberg Is Granted
Permission to Train
One Week More for
' Title Scrap
NEW YORK,"July 13.—-Charley
Phil Rosenberg is a. careful young
man and prizes the world's bantam-
weight championship which he holds.
When it was apparent that he was
in a fair way to lose his prize Wed-
nesday night at the New York Velo-
drome he asked for a week‘s respite
in which to \\ ork himself into better
shape for the titular clash with Ed-
die Shea of. Chicago.
Lew Raymond, promoter of the
Rosenberg-Shea meeting for the ben-
efit of the Hunts Point Jewish Center
Building Fund. appealed to William
Muldoon. boxing commissioner. at a
very early hour yesterday morning
for a week‘s postponement of the
fight and this was granted. according
to the promoter. He says the entire
card. as originally arranged, will be
put. on at the Velodrome on Wednes-
day. July 22.
While the, promoter insisted that
the. bout has been postponed a week.
Ray Alvis. manager of Shea. last
night said he knew nothing about
the postponement. that he was not
approached in the matter. that his
contract called for a. fight ednes-
day night. July 15. and tha Eddie
Shea. was prepared to go through
with his contract. Alvis declared
that Shea is down to 119 1-4 pounds.
and will go before the New York
State Athletic Commission on Wed-
nesday to weigh in. If the fight is
not to take place on Wednesday night
Alvis is ready to claim the title in
behalf of his fighter. That is that.
and the commission presumably will
be asked to straighten out the tangle

The main reason ascribed for the

was his supposed desire to assume

lowers kept suggesting him as pilot.
It is doubtful. however. if Peck was
a party to such propaganda.

All golfers presumably have en-
countered tho term. "Hands Lead-
ing." That means that the hands
lead the golf club
throughout the
swing. Many play-
ers start the club
away from the
' ball with the
hands and then
immediately lose
the sense of hand
control. The
hands should
maintain an ab.
solute control of
the club all the
’. way through. I
mean by this that
in the back swing
the feeling is that
you put the club
back to the top.
with the hands. At the top the club
is held with the hands. From the
top you throw the club forward. en-
tirely with the hands. Your throw
is for a complete circle or the club-
head and sometimes it is a. good
idea to feel that the ball is not there
at. all. Too much consciousness of:
ten is spent on the ball.. not enough
on the idea of swinging the club
with the hands.
