"SPORTS I By ROBERT McSHANE I RtUaitd by WUrn Nwipapr Union j fI EA VYWEIGHT Champion Joe Louis' brutal conquest of Bud-dy Baer removed any lingering doubt concerning the champ's claim to top honors in modern boxing his-tory. Not since the time he almost tore Max Schmellng apart has Joe looked as good in the ring. And it must be remembered that Buddy was bigger, younger and stronger than the German. Joe couldn't miss. Baer might just as well have tan-gled with a bolt of lightning. In fact, it would be hard to convince the younger of the boxing Baer brothers that bis opponent was a mere mortal. From John L. Sullivan to Joe Louis there have been 15 heavy-weight champions. As champ, Joe has risked his title more often than any man since the days of John L. Since winning the belt from Jim Braddock in 1937, Louis has knocked out 18 men and defeated two others by decision. By way of comparison, Jack Dempsey knocked out four of the six men whom he as champion faced. He won one other fight by decision before losing to Gene Tunney. Jack Johnson knocked out only two con-tenders for his title, winning one other fieht by decision and fighting one draw. It's customary for many die-har-to belittle Joe's opposition. In some instances such an attitude isn't far from wrong. But it isn't stretching the truth to say that Louis has faced as tough or tougher competition than either Dempsey or Johnson. Dempsey fought Bill Brennan, Billy Miske, Georges Carpentfer, Luis Firpo, Tom Gibbons and Tun-ney. Brennan never was particular-ly dangerous. Miske was In poor health, Carpentier lacked the weight, Firpo lacked speed and Gib-bons had been whipped decisively prior to the championship match. Tunney won the title. All this doesn't reflect on Demp-sey the most spectacular heavy-weight of the lot and the top show-man. It wasn't Dempsey's fault that his competition like Louis' left something to be desired. Johnson, as champion, outpointed Jim Flynn, knocked out A. Spoul in Paris, fought an eight-roun- d draw with Jim Johnson, won in 20 rounds from Frank Moran and lost the title to Jess Willard. Joe's knockout record is impres-sive. In his 56 professional fights he has stopped 48 opponents. In-cluding his 37 knockouts as aa ama-teur, the champ has knocked out a total of 83 opponents in 100 fights a percentage of .850. WW tA X. fiCE Ji Nelsons Winning Game A short while back Craig Wood, U. S. Open golf champion, rated Byron Nelson as the finest all around shotmaker in golf. Nelson backed up this generous trib-ute from the Open titleholder by com-ing back in 30 at Miami late last month to win the $10,000 Open by a matter ot five strokes. Since few know Grantland Rice more about Nel-son's game than Leo Diegel, a smart observer, we asked the diag-nosing Diegel to let us in on the secret of a great golfer's style and success. "I've known Byron since he was a Texas kid," Diegel said. "I've studied his game as it changed with the years. I think I can tell you something about him. "In the first place, I would say that Byron Nelson, like most of those Texans, Is one of the best competitors I've ever known in golf. What makes a treat competitor, vou might ask? My answer is determi-nation, unbroken concentration on every shot and his refusal to be dis-couraged by a few bad shots or a few bad holes. Nelson sinks his teeth In every round, concentrates n every shot, and battles It out to the last putt, no has a fine golfing philosophy, which ao many lack and that Is to take the breaks of the game as they happen to come, good or bad. The Nelson Swing "Nelson," Diegel continued, "has the soundest swing in golf. He is the finest long iron player I ever saw. He has one odd feature, and this is his wrist action. At the top of his backswing you will see almost no break of his left wrist "Byron doesn't cock his left wrist at all or only slightly. He uses a strong, firm left hand and wrist that Is always In control of the club-hea- d, which he never lets dip. He hasn't nearly as much body action aa many good golfers have, for he lets his body work with his hands and arms. He also has almost per- - feet head action. I mean by this that his head remains In place until the ball la hit. "I don't know of any golfer who has a more compact style of swing-- ing a ciud. iveryuimg is unaer control. He has cut the margin of error to near zero. His Weakest Shot "1 would say Byron's weakest shot was the short chip," Leo said. . "This is due to his lack of even slight wrist action on this stroke. He isn't bad just off the green, but he isn't as deadly as he is on other shots. I have often seen him play long irons from 200 or 220 yards away just as close to the pin as he would from 20 yards away. "Another factor is his perfect con-fidence in his own swing. I've also seen him drop 8 or 10 balls on the turf in just average lies, take out a driver, and hit them all over 250 yards as straight as a rifle can shoot "Too many golfers bother too much with unimportant details. They don't concentrate enough on what their hands and wrists are do-ing with the head of the club. Too often they think about everything except swinging that clubhead through the ball. t "You don't swing a club with your hips and shoulders. You swing It with your hands. H you watch Nel-son you get the Idea that he Isn't using anything except his bands. Of course, he does, but he lets the rest of it fit in, not work against bis hands. Tough Competitors "Why is it those Texans are such tough competitors?" Diegel asked. "They come along with Ralph Gul-dah- l, who wins two National Opens in a row. Then they give you a Jimmy Demaret who wins eight big tournaments in a few months. Then along comes Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson. Hogan is one of the most successful golfers that ever played. You may recall that he finished in the money 56 consecutive times be-fore he slipped a little. Then at Miami he finished second after lead-ing the field for three rounds. "Hogan uses bis wrists and body much more than Nelson does. Ben, weighing only 133 pounds, has to do this to get the distance needed to-day. Hogan has a far greater body tarn than Nelson nscs, and more flexible wrists. Ben lets the club-hea- d dip at least 18 Inches or two feet more than Nelson does. Byron nses little more than a three-quart- er swing. "Nelson, Hogan and Sam Snead make one of the most interesting studies in golf." Diegel said. "All three are great golfers tiree of the greatest we've ever had. Washington, D. C. NEW SELECTEES It needed no mind reading to fathom what was behind that war department announcement of the purchase of 700,000,000 feet of lum-ber and 240,000 kegs of nails the biggest order of its kind In U. S. history. The materials are for the con-struction of numerous new army cantonments and the enlargement of existing ones. Army strength, down to 1,600,000 after the demobilization of 28 to 35 year olds last fall, is due for a big increase at least another 1,000,000 after the next draft lottery follow-ing the February 18 registration of men between 21 and 44. An estimated 24,000,000 will regis-ter next month, and on the basis of past experience only about 5 per cent will be rated that Is, sub-ject to immediate call. Heretofore the army has inducted only men in good physical condition, with no de-- pendents and not engaged In "es-sential" production. However, as the need for military manpower develops, standards will be broadened and many thou-sands of 2-- and 2-- B deferees by pre-w- ar standards will be called UD. For the present, the army still Is placing primary emphasis on youth. The February 18 registration is ex-pected to list around 2,000,000 20-2- 1 youngsters and the largest propor-tion of new inductees will come from this group. Registrants in the 36 to 44 group will have to be in top condition to get in the army at this time. However, big scale inductions from this age group can be expected by fall, particularly those with no dependents and with previous mili-tary service. For the present the army will take its older-ag- e recruits" from the 28 to 35 year olds who were exempted because of dependency or defense work. . . REDTAPE BUSTER Ordnance is the haughtiest and most hide-boun- d branch of the army. So much so that it has been the object of much bitter private criticism by civilian defense chiefs. But there is one notable exception to this Ordnance rule. He is Wi-lliam Van Antwerp Kemp, a tall, husky, dynamic engineer, who made a big success in private business and volunteered his services when the national emergency arose. Since then, as an Ammunition division ex-ecutive, he has been making his-tory, busting redtape in tradition-boun- d Ordnance. There are many tales of Kemp'i unconventional exploits. The latest Is one of the best. Asked by a general to suggest a manager for a new government munition plant about to begin pro-duction, Kemp recommended a crack expert who had been loaned to the British to build a plant in England. "He ought to be finished with his job over there by now," said Kemp. "If he is, get him," was the order. Ffom the British, Kemp learned the expert had completed his work and was available. So Kemp picked up a phone and called the state de-partment. "I want to talk to the guy," he said, "who gets tfuys back from Eng-land." There was a gasp, but the operator switched Kemp to someone who asked him who he was and what he wanted. "I'm Kemp of Army Ordnance," he said. "There's a juy in England we want to run an ammunition plant for us. Get him back here right away, will you?" Six days later the expert reported to Kemp and left for his new job. A few days later the general again summoned Kemp, asked what had been done about the expert "It's all taken care of, general," said Kemp. "He's been on the job at the plant two days." "How did you get him back here so fast?" "No trouble. I just called up the state department, asked for the guy who gets guys back here and he arranged it." "Kemp," said the general severe- - ly, "do you know who that guy in the state department was?" "No, sir." "He was the undersecretary of state." Note: Kemp has persistently re-fused to accept an army commis-sion. Finally, pressed by the gen-eral for the reason, he retorted: "Some day I may want to come in here and blow up. If I do, as an officer you could court-marti- me. But as a civilian, all you can do is fire me. I'm remaining a civilian." JAP SCHOOL LESSONS After three years' probing of sub-versive activities, it takes a lot to excite Rep. Martin Dies, but the oth-er day the rangy Texan hit on a discovery that took his breath away. Hia committee has been making a sweeping inquiry of Jap on the West coast includ-ing subversive teaching In Japanese language schools located all over southern California. Investigators found that from the primary grades up students in these schools are in-doctrinated with militarism and tha Ideology of their Jap ancestors.

Spot bowling is a science and my advice is not to attempt it until you are sure that every phase of your approach and delivery is truly grooved. One style allows the bowler to find a spot at the foul line from which his grooved delivery produces the most strikes and he tries to re-lease the ball at that spot every time he delivers it. This type of spot bowler goes to the foul line with the sole purpose of releasing his ball at that spot He never looks at the pins, until just before the ball is delivered, and he then watches the roll of the ball. Another style of spot bowling finds the bowler picking a spot at the foul line and placing his ball on that spot every time, not lifting his eyes to see the pins until after the ball has left his hand. When rolling your second ball in an effort to spare, you keep your eyes focused on the alley and not on the pins.
