Glenn Beats Venzke zke Again

Takes Three-Quarter Mile Special in New York.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 13.—Glenn Cunningham, world champion mile runner, had his first victory of the cutdoor season today after winning the special three-quarter-mile race of the 69th Regiment games. The former Kansas University distance star, now running for the New York Curb . Exchange A. C,

threatened neither American| nor world marks as he outstepped his ancient mile rival, Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, who wears the colors of the New York A. C. Cunningham was timed in 3:10.2 compared to the American mark of 3:01.4, and the

world standard of 3:00.6. Luigi Bec- |

cali of Italy was third and Joe McCluskey of New York A. C., fourth. Eulace Peacock of, Temple won the 100-yard dash in :09.9. He was a half step in front of Ben Johnson, Columbia. Edgar Borck, Manhattan| College, won the Duffy Memorial 600-yard in 1:15.5, and his teammate, Louis Burns, won the 1000yard special in 2:20.1. Dick Ganslen, Columbia, intercollegiate pole vault champion, scored .a double, winning his specialty by ciearing the bar at 13 feet 3 inches, then winning [the handicap broad jump.

PAR-agraphs

By ART KRENZ NEA Service Golf Writer ERE it not for a lucky break on the ninth hole during the first round of the 1930 Open played at the Interlachen Country Club in Minneapolis, Bobby Jones might not have scored his golfing grand slam. Jones was two strokes ahead of Macdonald Smith when he topped his spoon second into the middle of a big lily pond. It looked as if his valuable two stroke lead would be erased.

But as the ball hit the water it skipped like a flat stone, hopped out onto the fairway and stopped 30 yards short of the green. Jones chipped close enough to get down in one putt and registered a birdie four that easily smight have been a seven. Jones finished the tournament in 287. Topped shots from fairway lies are often caused by the player's attempt to lift the ball with an action of the hands and arm, rather than depending on the loft of the clubhead to do the work. When this foreign action takes place in the downswing the right shoulder is dropped and the clubhead catches

the ball after it already has started its upward swing. Swing through on wood shots off the fairway, attempting to make the clubhead follow the contour of the ground for a few inches before and after the ball is struck.

GOLFING o%»

Hundreds of local golfers got their first taste of the game at driving ranges says George Stark. George is professional at Sportland, They drive up for a soft drink, see the crowds pounding balls from the tees, suddenly decide it looks easy and buy a bucket of balls. No matter how many whiffs they calch in that first experiment, they are almost sure to connect solidly somewhere along the line and another golfer is born— heaven help him. It takes about 20,000 balls to outfit a big driving range. They keep them in bins like corn. At Sportland they lose fewer balls than you would expect; only a hundred or so a year. A lot of them wear out and have to be discarded, anyway. on " # The average customer at a driving range hits a ball about 150 yards. Few get them over 200. Ninety-nine out of a hundred use wood clubs.

They break a couple hundred clubs a year. George says the funniest thing that happens is the 120 shooter who brings a friend out and tries to teach him to hit a ball.- Once a husband brought his wife and since she had never had a club in her hand she didn’t do so well. He got madder and madder and then she got twice as mad and if their home life wasn’t wrecked for good it’s a wonder, George says. The boys that coilect the balls get hit quite often but they never get hurt. Maybe they are used to it. ” 8 » 2 2 { Twenty-two club members took part in the recent qualifying round
