Ssh! Don't Tell a Soul, but Two-Ton Tony Is Going Strategic With New "Jumbo Jolt’
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent
SUMMIT, N. J. June 28 (U. P). ~—Tony Galento, possessor of the most lethal left hook in the ring ‘today, will resort to strategy Tues‘day night and try to kayo Maxie Baer with his new. right-handed “jumbo jolt.” : This blow, if launched successfully in Jersey City’s Roosevelt Stadium, probably will go down in puglistic history along with Kid McCoy’s corkscrew, Bob Fitzsimmons’ solar-plexus; Billy Papke’s loop-the-loop, George La Blanche's pivot, Ceferino Garcia's bolo and Primo Carnera’s “secret poonch.” Galento and his general staff have
decided upon this starboard strategy because they know that “Peanut Heart” Baer—as they scornfully refer to Maxie—will be on the alert for Tony’s portside flipper. Fifth columnists at the Baer camp report that Maxie is grooming to evade the left hook that stunned champion Joe Louis in the first round and floored him in the third, last June. They report that Maxie is circling to his sparmates’ right. Hence the Galento entourage is confident that the clowning Californian will sidle right into the “jum A 0 es of the Galento menage, revealed this strategy, adding, “if Tony lands the jumbo he'll stiffen
Baer with one punch. He might even send him to the hospital.” The jumbo jolt is a hybrid blow that has distant kinship to Frank Moran's looping “Mary Anne” and Willie Ritchie’s right cross, except that it is delivered as Tony springs in from a crouch. It is preceded by feinting & low left hook for the body. As Tony feints, like a fat woman shaking the “shimmy,”- he cocks his pudgy right fist far back. When his unsuspecting victim drops his arms to Block the left hook to the body—wham! This slightly looping right snakes over the opponent’s lowered left and smashes
hind it.

Coscarart is an all-round ball player, who does everything with an easy grace that’s appealing to watch. He gets down low on a ground ball, something like Gordon of the Yanks.

Pete’s Double Timely
The Dodgers put on a two-run rally . in the eighth to close their home stay against the west with a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. With the Cubs on top, 1-0, Coscarart blasted his double to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead, which stood up until the eighth. After the Cubs had gone ahead, 4-3, in the eighth on Todd’s single, Billy Rogell’s pinch homer, a walk and: Herman's double, Brooklyn came back to blast Bill Lee for two runs on Dixie Walker's double, a walk, Camilli’s single and a or fly.

By ELEANOR TENNANT Coach of Alice Marble To prepare a good forehand swing stand about 4 feet behind the net with the left foot forward and throw youp racquet, face open toward the net. You should notice your arm continuing out and above the net. This insures the racquet head clearing the net, which it must do to get the ball over properly. Control your backswing so that you can continue to see it out of the corner of your right eye. Do not carry it too far back. The advantage is that you can hit sooner. ; An extended kswing causes erratic, late hitting. The racquet head does the work. You should be able to feel this. ” Keep your wrist supple and hit the forehand drive with an open racket face. Tight gripping or a stiff wrist
