There was a time—but it’s two full brassie shots back in the past —when the Open champion could do a sweet job of nest feathering in the 12 months following his victory. He could confidently count on dragging down enough in exhibitions,

broke 70. Farrell Hit Jackpot

and Farrell came close to making fortunes out of the title. Farrell, perhaps, made more money in one year than any other holder of the title. Johnny, a good-looking Irishman, with a delightful personality and a flair for wearing clothes, must have come close to earning $80,000 during the 12 months following his playoff victory over Bobby Jones. But what of the recent champions? Byron Nelson was lucky if he cleared $5000 as-a result of having the title. The same goes for Ralph. Guldahl, and I doubt if Tony Manero and Sam Parks, between them, made $3000. The latest and most convihcing proof that the National Open, like the old gray mare, ain’t what she used to be, is offered in Lawson

tion matches with Ed Oliver. Unless your memory is completely gone you will remember that Little won the title a few weeks ago in a playoff with Sarazen; a play-off that: Oliver actually qualified for only to be thrown out on a technicality by the United States Golf Association.

It’s a Natural

If the championship were a bonanza, or anything remotely resembling a bonanza, Little wouldn't be planning to engage Oliver in what amounts to an unofficial continuation of the play-off at Canterbury. As a matter of fact, he'd be shunning Oliver, lest that fat and talented hitter of a golf balk beat him and thus rub some of the gilt off his title. As it is, Little is willing to take the risk of Oliver licking him _ in the exhibition tiffs, and let the"gilt fall where it may. Is is obvious that Little, in the little time he has had the cup, has found that it is no Aladdin’s lamp, which needs only to be rubbed to bring in riches. So he is doing the smart thing in giving Oliver a belated whack at him. The chances are that the matches between Little and Oliver will do all right. There is nothing the American sports customer likes better than a grudge fight, and any promoter with enough sense to tell the time of day can sell the LittleOliver setto as one. As a matter of fact, there isn’t any bitterness between the two men. Little proved himself a sportsman and a friend of Oliver when he personally asked the U. 8. G. A. to allow big Ed to engage in the play-off for the title. The only grudge Oliver could really hold would be one against|W himself for disqualifying himself in the Open.

SCOREBOARD

a Ec By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor It’s coming into the ball that counts . . . in baseball or golf. It’s impossible to standardize the stance and swing. Physical molds, muscular reactions, nerve reflexes and brain impulses must be taken into consideration. There can be no stereotyped instruction system. ‘But, despite individual eccentricities, all top-flight batters and golfers observe the fundamentals of correct hitting in the hitting area. They compensate for idiosyncrasies earlier in the swing hefore the club arrives in the contact zone . . bring the bat or clubhead squarely through the ball at impact. Al Simmons practically knocked players off the bench with his left foot. It looked as though the Poling Pole would fall down after each swing, yet he managed to crowd 400 year in and year out.

Lou Boudreau winds himself. up at the plate , . . appears anything but comfortable, but the young Cleveland shortstop unwinds in time to lead the American League leaders in total hits. /

Lawson Little shows four knuckles of his left hand when he grips a golf club. He shuts the club face. His swing travels below his shoulder, or pretty near to it. Denny Shute - exposes only one knuckle of the left hand in the grip. He opens the club face wide and swings high around the neck. Jug McSpaden picks the club. up abruptly on the back swing and takes it back well outside the line. Paul Runyan drags the clubhead back inside the line. While it leaves more margin for error, a flattish swing is better suited to a short and chunky player like Gene Sarazen, whereas the tall and long-armed Ralph Guldahl profitably employs a more vertical one. The trick in baseball and golf is to make the necessary adjustments for solid hitting at impact without radically altering an instinctive manner of stroking.
