THE JTEWS--NEWPORT, 1 R. MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1956 ELEVEN Joe Williams Physical Attrition GOLF IS THE ONE GAME that doesn't make an old- timer look ridiculous. Naturally, the good players won't win as often at, say, 50 as they did at 30, but the answer lies in physical attrition, not withered talent. If you've ever watched the seniors play you know how true this is They hit the ball about as well as they cvcv did, exercise much the same mastery over their shuts, and perhaps most interesting of all, there is nothing dated or labored about their play. The popular explanation is that once a golfer has acquired an absolutely grooved swing, it never leaves him.

This may also be true of the better hitters in baseball and yet by comparison they look pathetic when they challenge the calendar. "Old-Timers' Day" has become standard in many ball parks and whether the club owners arc motivated by sentiment or commerce is not necessarily generic to this essay. It is enough to say the fans go for it pretty good. This department will match its regard for the old-timers with anyone in sports, but he must confess that when he sees an elderly Ty Cobh try to Rangers Give Up 2nd Place; Bruins Defeat Maple Leafs By THE ASSOCIATED PKESS The New York Rangers, who a little over two weeks ago, had a comfortable lead on second place in the National Hockey League, arc mighty thankful 'they are returning home to Madison Square Garden. In nine games since being ousted by an ice show, Rangers have won four, lost as many, tied one and yielded second place to the red hot Detroit Red Wings.

The Wings posted a T-1 7 1 record during the same period, moving from live points back of the Rangers to a point advantage today. The Rangers wound up their long trip last night in Chicago, where they defeated the Black Hawks 6-2. The Wings held the pace playing Montreal Canadiens a 1-1 tie.
