Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, April 24— They to keep anything a secret anymore, what with radio, telegraphy and Winchell, so it may be that you have already heard that of all the males, Bobby Jones is the perfect golfer and of all the femmes Joyce Wethered is the demure ditto. They are the paragons the golf pros hold up to you when you go out to blearyview about this time of the year to exchange a slice for a hook. "Now If vou would plav Jor.es golf do this." the pro tells vou or maybe its “do that." at anv rate It Is do somethin* and vou ara assured that in ten easv lessons—well, sav twenty—vou will be readv to play in tha oaar championship yourself. Since Jones and Wethered represent the ultimate In polling skill It had been accepted as a matter of course that the pros used their technlaue as text lessons. It develops that this is not the case at all. Slow movies of Jones and Wethered disclose that their (tame differs in several vital respects from the general educational formula of the hired Instructors. They tell vou to do one thine but Jones and Wethered. doing oulte the opposite, have proceeded to set records that promise to live for generations. To get technical, there Is that little matter of breaking the wrists on the back swing. The pros tell you the wrists should break at almost the precise moment the club head leaves the ground. But Jones brines his club back until It Is almost horizontal with the ground before the hinges of the wrists are noted to change position In the slightest. In a somewhat less degree the same is true of the British elrl. * tt THIS is only one of a number of astonishing clashes with the stenciled academic pattern brought to light by the picture clinic. Two questions naturally lift their captious needles: 1. Have the pros been preaching an unsound doctrine all these years? 2. Are such particularly gifted playsrs as Jones and Wethered exceptions, above all rules and beyond all customs? The answer might easily be yes in both instances. These pictures were made by the Professional Golfers Association at a cost of SIO,OOO. They were made to preserve for all time the matchless form of these two great golfers. At the present time the ?ros are studying the films very closely. am told they were quite unprepared for the revelations that followed. The deviation in the structure of the stars' form had not been observable on the course. The action through the golf swing Is too rapid for that. It remained for the movies. 200 times slower than the ordinary slow shots, to bring out the preplexing fact that either Jones and Wethered are wrong, or the professors themselves don't know what it's all about. Speaking from the point of view of an earnest soul who has been trying to break 100 for years (all right make It 120 vou worm I t I am not at all surprised to hear about this. There are so many things you must learn to do before you can hope to hit a ball wrong that I doubt whether the pros themselves actually aptee on more than one or two fundamental points, and very likelv these have to do mainly with the relative of mineral water and ginger ale. as a pursuit beverage.

LONG ROAD JOURNEY FACES TRIBE AFTER K. C. SERIES

Indians Will Play in Seven Enemy Grounds Blues Are Scheduled Here Through Monday; Corridenites Bombard Jonnard Friday and Pile Up Big Score: Mike Cvengros Goes Route. More bad weather confronted Johnny Corriden's Indians today as they awaited the series opener with Eddie Zwilling’s Kansas City Cowboy Blues, who will be here through Monday. The battles with the Blues will close the Tribe’s current home stay and Washington Park fans won't see the Corridenites in action again until May 29, when Louisville performs in Indianapolis for the first time this year. Openng on the road in St. Paul next Wednesday the Hoosiers will play the entire league before returning home, visiting seven cities. It’s a difficult

early season assignment, j Collecting sixteen hits, the Indians slaughtered the Milwaukee Brewers ' Friday, 12 to 3, and St. Paul went back into the A. A. lead, with Milwaukee and Louisville sharing second place. Mike Cvengros settled down after the third stanza and gave up only three safeties the remainder of the distance. Claude Jonanrd, former Tribe flinger, was knocked out by his old mates in the sixth inning, when a six-run rally was staged. Kessenich, Caldwell and j Linke were other hurlers used by | the Brewers. Two Home Runs Two of the seven blows registered • of! Cvengros were home runs, by i Jonnard in the third and by Turgeo.i ; in the eighth. Aside from that Mike had the Cream City pastimers bottled up. Fitzerald, Narlasky and Angley led the Tribe attack with three hits ! apiece, Narlesky topping the trio with a double and triple. Carl Lind also was prominent with two wallops, driving in three runs. Pilot Corriden’s brigade got away to a two-run lead in the second and Milwaukee tied the contest in the third when Jonnard hit the first ball pitched out of the playing field in right-center, scoring Mamon ahead. The Indians quickly tool: the lead again in their half of the third and never weer headed, addins; one marker, another in the fifth, six in the sixth and two in the seventh. But for bad breaks on line drives, the Tribesmen doubtless would have chased Jonnard before the sixth. The Tribe infield worked together in improved fashion Friday and executed three double plays, the one miscue charged against the inner works being a bad throw by Montague, after a difficult stop. u ART SHIRES played with a limp and left the game in the seventh. He failed to solve Cvengros for a hit and fanned once. The | Great One gave the fans a laugh by exchanging wisecracks. One of j his hot shots was: ‘‘You birds come ! out here full of canned heat and tryto kid a Big Shot.” Walter Christensen turned in the feature play In the fifth when he raced over the foul line in deep left and snared Walker's foul with one hand. The comedian was unable to hit Cvengros and save way to Turgeon, who smacked a homer in his one time at bat. tt st tt Manager Bjrghammer of the Brewers used sixteen players while tne Indians , went through tne contest with no changes.

Garry Herrmann, Member of Old Baseball Commission, Is Dead

By United Press CINCINNATI, 0., April 25. August (Garry) Herrmann, one’ of the best known figures in major league baseball and former president of the Cincinnati Reds, died suddenly today at the home of his son-in-law, Karl B. Finke. He would have been 72 years old next Sunday. His daughter, Mrs. Finke, was with him when he died. He had been ill for fifteen weeks, but his death was not expected, she said.

Canzoneri Stops Berg Tony Adds Junior Welter Title to Lightweight Laurels. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY • United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 25—From 13C to 140 pounds, Tony Canzoneri of New York’today ruled the fistic world. He successfully defended his lightweight championship and won the junior welterweight title by knocking out Jack (Kid) Berg of England after 2 hours 23 seconds of fighting in the third round of a scheduled ten-round bout here Friday night. Canzoneri weighed 132, Berg 134ff1. A crowd of 11,780 paid $54,663.73 to see Canzoneri win his third boxing championship, equalling Bob Fitzsimmons’ record of almost thirty-five years ago. Before winning the lightweight title from A1 Singer last November, Canzoneri had held and lost the featherweight crown. The end came Friday night after a furious exchange. Canzoneri had his back against the ropes, with Berg boring in, flinging- both fists. Canzoneri smashed out with his right, and it caught Berg, coming in, on the jaw and almost suspended the little Englishman in midair. From the cutset, Canzoneri carried the fight. He won the first two rounds and was out in front in the third. Berg, usually a tireless fighter, couldn’t seem to hit his stride. In the first thirty seconds of fighting Canzoneri rocked Berg with a hard right to the head. Berg recovered quickly from his knockout and announced he would launch a campaign for a return match. ‘‘l wasn’t myself.” said Berg. “I beat Canzoneri a year ago and I think I can do it again if given the chance.’’ It was Berg's first defeat in twenty-seven matches and the first time he had ever been counted out. The knockdown over Berg was the twenty-sixth K. Q. registered by Canzoneri in ninety-nine matches.

exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order cf Elks. He first became identified with Republican politics when he made a race for the school board. He won and was in politics the rest of his life. From the board of education Hermann moved over to police court as assistant clerk. Then he was made a member of the old city board of public works. By this time the hustling little German had moved into the round table coteries established by Cox at Wielert’s famous case. There the fate of Cincinnati was discussed nightly by Cox and his advisers. From round tables these three musketeers marched to many a victory and an occasional defeat. Then came Herrmann’s great opportunity. He was made chairman of the waterworks commission, organized to build anew water works. With Herrmann in the seat at the city, hall and Hynicka in power at the court house, Cox sat in his office and held them personally responsible for developments on the two political battle fronts. Herrmann was required to approve all political appointments at the city hall and Hynicka at the court house. In his heyday, Herrmann was recognized as a gourmant de luxe, especially when it came to German dishes. He especially was a fiend for sauerkraut spreads and many of the old timers can recall his sauerkraut blowouts with a half barrel of kraut and several dozen pig tails and a yard or two of spare ribs washed down with beer. Garry’s generosity won for him the title of “big-hearted Garry.” In his day he probably spent more money showing his friends good tunes than any other single, or for that matter, any group of Cincinnatians. He organized the famous Loughrey Club which was located on the banks of the Ohio river near Aurora nd. . Membership in the organization included those high in politics m Cincinnati and vicinity as well as others in a chosen circle. It cost a small fortune to lay out the magmficent grounds, build a club house and cottages for the members. The club never was a paying proposition, but it was one of Garry’s playthings and he dug down annually to meet the deficit. Then came enactment of the national prohibition act and the club gradually passed out of existence.
