Evening Despatch from Birmingham, West Midlands, England • 9

9 EVENING DESPATCH MONDAY 30 JANUARY 1933 AUSTRALIANS IN THE LIMELIGHT DEFINITE MOVE EXPECTED IN HOOD-REYNOLDS DEADLOCK BIRMINGHAM HAVE THEIR EYES ON WEMBLEY Saturday evening They are Renton of Burton-on-Trent the 220 and 440 yards champion of GEORGE FIRST FA CUP GOAL: MIDLAND INTEREST IN PROGRESS JACK CRAWFORD who to-day won the Australian lawn tennis title for the third year in succession He easily beat the American Keith Gledhill in the final be suffering from a fracture of the right leg Rugby Enthusiasm rpHE enthusiasm of two Midland Rugby clubs is a striking' illustration of how keenness and club loyalty can when properly directed overcome great difficulties When the Old Dixonians had the misfortune to find their ground waterlogged owing to the drainage system becoming blocked up their members set about the task of clearing the drains and after working all last Sunday the drains are now free and the ground will be playable in wet weather The Birmingham Rugby Club have an even more ambitious programme in connection with the laying out of their new ground It is proposed that the task of levelling the ground will be carried out by the members of the club under the direction of an architect and a surveyor who are members of the club Misfortune IT was bad luck for England that A Gerrard was so severely injured early in the second half of the match against Wales He was not only forced to retire but is not likely to be available for some weeks The injury was received in an unusual manner Gerrard when going to tackle Claud Davey the Welsh centre-three-quarter was handed off Golf As Seen by Stuart Hobson Stance and the Factors That Determine it Smith at West Bromwich yesterday Phillips agreed to meet Barton and the winner to be matched with Reynolds I was somewlit disappointed in the return bout between Phillips and Smith yesterday but the victory was again deserved if only by 4 small unargin There was too much wrestling in the clinches as compared with the last meeting and one or two blows went dangerously low But that Smith lasted the 15 rounds was a tribute to his fitness and riper experience In the 9th and 13th rounds in particular he was in a bad way and had Phillips stood back and timed himself for the finishing blow the referee? would not have had to give a decision Phillips showed improvement in defence and at times cleverly slipped wild swings and left leads In the clinches however Phillips was again the better workman most damaging blow was a left swing to the stomach and I was a little surprised that Phillips did not find a suitable defensive move other than to score simultaneously with straight left Barton by the way is io assist Hood in liis training at Malvern BELT SEMI-FINALS During the morning the Siamese Twins and Violet Hinton- made the draw fur the semi-final bouts of the Midland feather-weight competition for the Ted Salmon gold and silver belt the winner of which will be recognised as a contender for the Southern Area title The pairings have brought together Jimmy Row-j bottom (Birmingham) against Len Wickwar (Leicester) and Jack Kirby (Birmingham) against Snowball Reynolds (Wolverhampton) The pairings could not have been made any better It would have unfortunate had the two Birmingham boxers been paired together In Rowbottom and Wickwar coming together two masters of the left-hand will be in combat The Leicester boxer will have advantage in height and reach but Rowbottom is an exceptionally fast puncher and carries a deadly right cross This should be a classical boxing contest In Kirby and Reynolds a much mors rugged affair is anticipated Kirby disappointed against Wickwar while Reynolds surprised all by his boxing abilities and correct punching in beating Ernie Upton VICTORY FOR IEDGK Both contests will be over 12 three-minute rounds and form the main items for next Sunday programme Boy Edge has expressed liis willingness to meet Bext Kirby for the Southern Area flyweight championship as soon as the contest can be arranged Yesterday Edge created a fine impression in outpointing Jerry of Merthyr who is well-known in the Midlands by liis many sterling battles at the Blackfriars Ring London yesterday This should prove a good warming-up contest for Edge who by the way holds a decision over Kirby The stock of Jack Petersen of Cardiff the British heavyweight champion is soaring He has been offered £6000 to take part in three open-air fights in Cardiff during May June and July The offer lias been made on behalf of a syndicate of Cardiff sportsmen and is to be considered by advisers at a conference during the week The names of opponents have not yet been discussed If the plans are carried through" arrangements will be made to copei with 30000 people at each fight Arthur 100 the Midlands and Arthur Wood of Coventry the Warwickshire County champion at 100 yards Benton as recently as November last is credited with having returned 58 secs for the 100 yards if he can reproduce that form on Saturday he will give the Frenchman a tying-up" Arthur Wood tells me he has not been practising speed swimming recently but lie will train hard during the present eek to get liis time down best time is 59 secs As the French champion is round about the 56 and 57 secs mark it should be a close race Midland AJSA Report TF ever a report was like the proverbial that presented at the Executive meeting of the Midland ASA at Leicester during the week-end is the one A reduction of 19 clubs as compared With 1931 and a loss of £G7 on the working was offset by the great improvement in championship entries and the standard of swimming There were 77 individual and 31 team entries and no fewer four records were made To account for the financial loss this is not so bad as appears as over £66 was spent in entertaining the ASA Council in the Midlands last year Tiyjs item occurs only once in seven years Then for the first time there is an item of £78 for coaching expenses This is money well spent and accounts for the improvement in the standard of swimming It is another case of not being able to have the cake and eat Ted Offer TT is understood that Mr Ted Broadribb has cabled to Mr Jimmy Johnstone the match-maker at Madison-square Gardens New York that he is ready to escort a team of British boxers to America at his own expense providing they are fixed up for supporting bouts on the same programme that ex-Seaman Watson the feather-weight champion of Great Britain meets Kid Chocolate for the title Among the boxers Mr Broadribb would take out are Net Tarleton for whom a match with the former champion Fidel) La Barba is suggested Phineas John (South Wales) and Tommy Hyams (King's Cross) Mr Broadribb further suggests that the size of the purses for the members of the team could be left over for discussion after they had appeared in the ring and he thinks that the novelty of an Anglo-American boxing tournament would appeal to New York sportsmen Aston Club Boxing 4 the Aston Amateur Boxing Club to-morrow evening A Harper (Aston) opposes George Archer (Imperial) the Territorial bantamweight champion in the principal six-round contest Harper has been given the top-line event as a tribute to his great improvement this season There is also an attractive six-round welter-weight contest between Baker (Aston) and Hankins (Austin) while in another event also over six rounds Nock (Aston) opposes A Snape (Austin) Mr Arthur Millward 'Mf'R Arthur Millward the famous cricket coach whose death at the age of 74 is reported at Eastbourne was well-known in Worcestershire He was in fact a native of Kidderminster and in his younger days frequently played f-or Worcester On leaving Worcestershire he became cricket coach to Eastbourne College and afterwards was appointed coach to Sussex County Cricket Nursery With the latter his first six boys were Maurice Tate Bowley Jupp George Stannard Relf and George Street He was subsequently coach to the Royal Naval College Dartmouth the Old Merchant School and other scnools The late Mr Millward was also well-known as a football player and as a first-class referee ANOTHER MEETING OF THE BOARD PLANS TO BE UPSET? PHILLIPS BARTON NEXT By WAKEFIELD JT is quite on the cards that an interesting announcement will be made by the British Boxing Board of Control in connection with the welter-weight championship contest between Jack Hood and Stoker Reynolds which the ruling board sanctioned to he staged in Birmingham under the promotion of Mr Ted Salmon When the champion discussed the matter with tm Board he pointed out that he could not do himself justice to fight on 27 February the proposed date and the stewards agreed that efforts would be made to fix another date But the mere fact that the Board met CAL ART ON Hood on his point does not mean to an indefinite time or to a very long period after the proposed date Since that meeting nothing has materialised in a definite date being fixed All that lias been done is to make arrangements which will make the fixing of the date all the more difficult PLANS MAY BE UPSET Efforts are being made to bring Reynolds to Birmingham to meet a leading local welter-weight The Portsmouth boxer is agreeable On the other hand Hood apparently has accepted to box in Portsmouth on 22 February while there is a likelihood of his meeting Jack Kid Berg in London I hear that this is likely to take place on 6 March but there is no official confirmation of this date But I have reason to believe that the Board of Control will take a more definite step in the matter before this week is out Both Hood and the promoter have been asked to attend a special meeting of the Board of Control at their headquarters in London on Wednesday It is difficult to forecast what Is likely to transpire at this meeting but it may affect the date on which Stoker Reynolds was to have appeared in Birmingham against either Cal Barton or Leo Phillips As a result of his victory over Len

semi-final match which was postponed on Saturday owing to frost Lancashire are understood to favour IS February but before that can be decided upon several difficulties with regard to fixture on that

the Midland swimmers who will compete against Mons Nathan the French champion at the Diving Club at Woodcock-street Birmingham next rjTflE Cup-fighting spirit which carried them to Wembley two seasons ago is again evident among the Birmingham player4 They have only to maintain the good work shown throughout the present month to reach their goal George goal against Blackburn Rovers at St on Saturday was his first for the Blues in a Cup tie It was well merited1 for his fearless play and general adaptability kept the visiting defenders constantly on the alert He is leading the attack nobly at present and is just the right type of forward for Cup fighting The blunders of the Blackburn Rovers defenders at St Andrews were reminiscent of the occasion when they met Cardiff City in the semi-final THE WORLD OF SPORT By LOOKER-ON at Nottingham a few seasons ago Then too they could do nothing right and Cardiff took advantage of their slips to reach the Final George Pluck 1 half-backs played a big part in success and Lewis Stoker was the outstanding player on the field His work throughout had the touch of the artist He held clever left wing as in a vice and assisted liis own forwards with delightful passes George Morrall worked like a trojan despite an early mishap in the game which resulted in a painful injury to his hand His thumb was pushed backwards so severely that the hand swelled badly and it may be necessary for him to have an X-ray examination to determine whether he has sustained a fracture of the bones On! Chesterfield On! COINCIDING with survival as the only Cup hope of Ihe Midlands is the progress to the fifth round of Chesterfield where Billy Harvey is in charge The Spireites were lucky to win hut a turn of luck in their favour was overdue in fact had the run of the ball been at all kind in several League matches Chesterfield would now he safe from any threat of relegation At Darlington George Ashmore did as much if not more than anyone to help Chesterfield into the next round The former West Bromwich goalkeeper played the game of his life A one-handed save from a full-blooded drive was particularly brilliant That bit of work was perhaps the turning point of the game Had the Quakers scored the sides would have been level and as Darlington monopolised the play afterwards a goal at that period might have had a disturbing effect on the Chesterfield defenders But with the knowledge that Ashmore was invincible his teammates pulled out that little bit extra Unlucky 'rHEN Zabell an inside-right turned out for The Casuals against Tufnell Park at Kingston on Saturday afternoon he was making his first appearance for the League side after a period of six years Zabell however was not fated to have the distinction of finishing the game Indeed play had been in progress just one minute when he fell on the frost-bound ground in tackling an opponent and was carried off Bemoved to Kingston Hospital Zabell was examined and found to CONDITIONS The piiw ol FIFTY POUNDS (£50) will te awarded for an all-correct solution of the Birmingham Gazette Crossword Puzzle No 8 filled in on the printed

Addreu YOUR NAME AND GRIMMETT the Queensland spin bowler who is making a bold bid to retain his place in the Australian Test team anything the swing slightly curtailed as both these latter factors tend to give better control With regard to the lie of the ball have in mind the occasions upon which the stance is not normal that is the player is not standing on a level with the ball But before speaking of the stance one word of advice Play the shot very easily and with extreme ease swinging slowly and keeping the club under control Important Slow Swing Suppose that the ball is to be played from a lie that is above the stance or as it is commonly put when the player is standing below his hall The player feels cramped because his club seems too long therefore he must shorten his grip but allowance must be made for this as the arc of the swing will be shorter and there will be a tendency to hurry There will also be a tendency to fall away from the ball causing a slice or a feeling that the ball will be hit on the toe of the club The slow swing will help to keep the balance adjusted and a correction in the address of the ball will do away with any chance of the latter mistake If the player is standing above his ball the procedure is the reverse The grip is to be lengthened and the stance must be watched throughout the Shot to see that the balance does not fall forward even as it tended to fall back when standing below the ball The arc of the swing is lengthened so that again careful timing is necessary The player wild have a feeling that he must reach for the ball and will probably bend the body over from the waist This method of encroachment is not a safe one and a better method is to allow the knees to sag slightly To Cure Slicing There is a strong tendency among golfers of large build and heavy weight to keep too much weight on the right feet The weight must be evenly distributed and poised on the ball of each foot and not back on the heels This type of golfer may be an inveterate slicer but he can cure this fault by putting a little more weight on to the left foot and by keeping his stomach tucked away from his hands as much as possible The lightly-built golfer who is striving for length is very often to be seen playing liis shots with a little pull to make them run and so keep up with his heavier built and possibly longer driving comperes But the day will come when the pull becomes a hook to mid-wicket and that is a sure sign that he is playing the ball too much off his right foot thus smothering it Let him move his stance more to normal and see that his swing is not over-hurried and he will be down the middle again END DOG SHOWS Independent Miss Twigg (Pomeranian) 1 Boswell (whippet) 2 Millward (wire-haired terrier) 3

like Easter in the calendar is movable Players should learn to make the various necessary adjustments to suit the particular shot in question Various factors have to be considered such as the club that is being used whether the shot is with or against the wind the lie of the ball and last but by no means least the physique of the player The stance can be divided into two main the square and the open In the first the feet are placed one on either side of the which should be of course a comfortable distance from the and equidistant from it In other words the ball lies at the apex of an equilateral triangle of which the feet mark the angles of the base Can Be Overdone In the open stance the left foot is taken away from the straight line it made with the right foot in the square stance and is placed in a position so that a line drawn from the toe of the left foot would strike the middle of the right foot instead of as in the square stance striking the toe of the right foot For the average player the open stance is to be advocated because it generally gives a greater sense of security and will not tend to missed shots if the correct pivotal action is missing But let ttM player beware that this stance is not overdone otherwise a perfectly horrible slice will result caused by the bringing of the club head across the line of flight instead of up and down that line A stance that is over-open brings the ball too far forward so that the body is turning to the left when the clubhead meets the ball Square Stance for Iron Clubs The square stance is the ideal stance for the more advanced golfer who has control over his swing and to put it bluntly knows what lie is about But for all golfers it is advisable to make the stance less and less open when iron clubs are used instead of wooden clubs because the hitting down action on to the ball In iron play as against hitting through the ball with wooden clubs is not possible if the stance is kept equally open for both types of shots When the ball is to be played against the wind instead of with it take it more off the right foot which keeps the ball down and helps it to bore its way through the wind The grip on the club should be slightly shortened and AWARDS AT WEEK The judge at amateur dog showr at the Arms Saltley was Mr Yardley The prize for the best in the show went to a smooth-haired fox terrier exhibited
