| { Some WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, | 947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN 'Can Jet Pilot Beat Phalanx In Big Three? Ld By JOHN D. HAMILTON Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, May 7 -- (CP)--Most lively sports debate now going on is whether Jet Pilot actually is a bet- ter horse than Phalanx . . . The issue. largely hinges on whether Jockey Eddie Arcaro gave Phalanx a bad ride Saturday in the Ken- tucky Derby when Jet Pilot came in first by a head . . . The Pilot broke first, set the pace and finished the ~1% mile route in great style . . . Phalanx broke last, stayed back and made his bid just too late to win... Now the question arises whether ~Arcaro held Phalanx back too long or whether the Pilot was just un- -beatable at the distance ... There is no doubt that Jet Pilot's youthful jockey, Eric Guerin, gave his mount a superb ride, calculating the dis- tance, literally, to inches . . . If the race had gone on another couple of strides, Phalanx would have won. it didn't , . . That was where erin's skill came in. . . Continued Rivalry The rivals will get a chance to see how they stack up again next Saturday at Pimlico and on May 31 at Belmont . . . The Preakness at Pimlico is 13/16 miles and many obsetvers feel this will favor Jet Pilot, known as a sprinter who was not cut out for the long ones . . . But, Phalanx will get back the ad- vantage in the Belmont Stakes where the run is 1% miles -- just about the longest flat race distance "in the United, States.

NHL Hockey Boys Have Their Tales . ---- Regina, May 7-- (CP)--Although the tumult and shouting are are still echoing, the hockey clan is al- ready reminiscing over the past season, spotlighting the incidents which slipped by almost unnoticed in the heat of battle. Scotty (Leader-Post) Melville huddled with Chicago's neophyite goaltender Emile (The Cat) Fran- cis and one of the more facetious | sallies of bruising Black Hawk de- fenceman Johnny Mariucei was the anecdote that emerged. The scene was the Chicago Sta- dium the night of the famed brawl between Hawks and Detroit Red Wings. Referee King Clancy was caught by the whirlpool of players as well as a punch on the nose by a spectator. Mariucei was lodging loud and frequent complaints with Clancy and after one particularly vocifer- ous one The King said: "Mariucei, I don't See a "C" on your sweater--you're not the cap- tain. I don't see an "A" on your tain. Another word out of you and I'll wheel you off." Mariucci knew--for the moment-- when to stop and skated away sil- ently. But when Clancy called another penalty against Chicago, Mariucci was in full cry. Clancy had no sooner said, "I warned you" when the Eveleth, Minn., boy whipped up the front of his sweater and there pencilled crudely on his underwear were the bold letters "AA." Clancy grinned and his thumb, which had begun to move in the direction of the cooler, dropped to his side. Melville tells another one involv- ing Canadiens general manager, Frank Selke, Coach Dick Irvin and Jack Hamilton, president of the Re- gina's Queen City Gardens. Hamilton provided the Montreal Hockey Club mentors with canvas bags for the stack of bills which spouted into the box office at the Gardens the night of the opening game of the Canadiens-N.H.L. All- Stars Western tour and offered to drive them to the station where they were hopping off for Calgary. As they stepped out of the Gar- fons into the darkness, Selke-- ipping the canvas tighter--mut- tered: "Jeepers, what a place for a stickup." Hamilton, whose car was parked 64 | nearby, was explaining that they were in Regina and not Montreal, when a figure appeared between them and the car. Guarding the Saskatchewan cap- 40 | ital's honor, Hamilton whispered, ALBERT ST, UNITED LEAGUE Last Monday saw the bowling season i'come to a grand close.

With all this in prospect, and the possibility that there'll be so many front-runners in this mile- and-three-sixteenths, no one will be left behind to bring up the rear, SWING IT, DON'T STEER By ALEX J. MORRISON. "I am awfully discouraged by my | lack of distance," 'writes Mrs. R. Auchincloss from Pinehurst, Nortth Carolina. "I am always the first one to play in the fairway, Other wom- en invariably oubdrive me. Theen 1 lose my temper, inwardly, and start slugging with, of course, very poor results. How can I get more dis- tance?" In the results most desired by all golfers, I believe distance tops the How to outdrive the other yer, how to hit a longer brassie or iron shot. Even putting doesn't escape this issue. Every player would like to sink longer putts. Oh, me, oh, my, there's no limit to this longing for distance. Likewise, there's no end to the trouble golfers get into through the ways they use to get distance. I don't mean the trouble a long, wild drive finds such as out-of-bounds, water hazards, overhanging trees or rough. I mean the mess they make of their game as a whole, With a distance obsession this is what invariably happenst--he player abandons all thought about swing- ing the club in favor of some meas~ ure or method which he or she hopes will prove to be a short cut to the end they seek. Such players haven't learned or they refuse to believe that the only way to get the kind of distance that counts in golf is simply by swinging the club. Swinging is both the shortest cut to praptical distance and the only way SLOAN'S LINIMENT d for Sup and BRUISES A™"" JUST PAT IT ON! Mrs. R. Auchincl lemonstrat form at finish of iron shot.

This fast is supported by the performances of all golfers for all time. Why not reconcile yourself to the fact and do a good job about learning the swing and then using it? The great success of Bobby Jones was once explained: "He had a good swing and trusted it." ¢ sweater--you're not the. acting cap- | positions. First aim of every golfer Glenna Collett ~ By MARGERY MILLER Central Press Canadian Sports Correspondent New York, May 6--The ancient game of golf was one of the first major sports to attract participation by women. y In the 16th century, Mary, Queen of Scots, took up the game and be- came a highly skilled and enthusi- astic devotee. Shortly after her hus- band was murdered she incurred widespread criticism by sallying forth, on the links and slamming the ball dver the course. Inevitably, other ladies tried this game which was evidently to the queen's taste. In the 189th century women in Britain and North Amer- ica were playing golf. Previous to 1885 most playing was done on short links, but there- after women began to use the long- er course favored by men. In 1895 the first US. national champion- ship for women was won by Mrs. C. 8. Brown, who scored 132 for 18 holes at the Meadowbrook club on Long Island. Golf for women "caught fire" in the United States after 1910, and a flock of young ladies began to try it. Meanwhile, the world's outstand- ing players were being developed in England. Miss Cecil Leitch, a high- ly unorthodox but most effective player, won the British champion- ship for women in 1914, 1920, 1921 and 1926. Then a girl named Joyce Wethered came along with a sound- er style--perhaps the best a woman has ever shown. She won lish close championship five times in succession and the British open four years. 'While Joyce was dazzling English galleries, a Philadelphia girl, Glen- na Collett, became an American sensation. Glenna won the wom- en's national amateur champion- ship in 1922, when she was just 19. She was to repeat the victory on four occasions, the last one in 1930, and to earn rank as an all-time great. Besides the national, Glenna scored several victories, each in the Canadian championship, North and South championship, Palm Beach and Florida East Coast tourna- Didrikson lantic, Trans-Mississippi, and West- | Bos: ments. She also took the French title in 1925. Her only memorable failures were a series of matches with Joyce Wethered for the Eng- lish championship. Although she played the most brilliant golf of her career against Joyce, she was not quite good enough. Played Hookey Succeeding her ag America's top woman golfer was a young lady who, in 1927, told the principal of her high school that she must leave school early each afternoon because of dental appointments, Bad teeth, said Helen (Billy) Hicks. The real reason was good golf. Billy skipped classes to play in the Long Island women's championship at Glenhead in 1028, and did so well that even the principal forgave her. By 1929 she was leading 'woman golfer of the U.S, a good-natured girl who laughed at her own slices. With her family's consent, she played the southern circuit in the winter of 1928-29, and well nigh burned it up. She took the Miami and Florida championships, added them to the Bermuda, title, and went on to win the Berthellyn trophy event at Philadelphia. In Chicago she took the women's Western medal play golf championship, the first wom- en's championship to be. decided over 72 holes, by 14 strokes. She topped the year off by annexing the Canadian title. Patty on the Scene A 17-year-old redhead startled golf circles in 1935 by almost win- ning the national championship the first time she entered it. Veteran Glenna Collett Vare finally turned back Patty Berg in the final. But the Minneapolis girl had served no- tice of things to come. Patty was destined to win a golfing honor for almost every freckle on her face-- and that took a lot of winning. In 1936 she won the Miami-Bilt- more tournament at Coral Gables, Fla, and shortly thereafter was named to the 1936 Curtis Cup team of Americans who were to engage a British women's team that year in England. Sportswriters voted her the outstanding woman athlete of 1038, in which years she won the Miami-Biltmore title for the third straight time; took the South At- ern championships; and topped off a beautiful year with a victory in the national. In 10941 Patty's career was tem-~ porarily halted by an automobile accident in which her left kneecap was fractured and her jaw cut. Sportsmen doubted her ability to come back, but in 1943 she again earned honors as America's out- standing girl athlete by defeating Dorothy Kirby in a subpar final round of the Women's Western open. The Babe Is Tops Easily the top woman golfer in the world today is Mildred Babe Didrikson, who first took up the sport in 1932, when she was concen- trating largely upon track. Even then Babe hit the ball over 200 yards. After a few lessons she was shooting in the low 80's. She tried to enter a tournament in 1935, but was refused, probably because she had tripped over an amateur rule in 1932 and been deprived of her amateur status in track. 'By way of response the Babe turned pro and toured with Gene Sarazen. She won most of the professional tourna- ments for women, but still dreamed of amateur triumphs. Finally, in 1944, the United States Golf Asso- ciation reinstated her as an ama- teur. In June of the same year she beat Dorothy Germain at Chicago for the women's Western open championship. Since then she has done such a thorough job of gath- ering in titles that she was voted top woman athlete of both 1945 and 1946. She reached the pinnacle last year by winning the women's na- tional, - This year she already has taken most of the events for women on the winter tour. Babe, who kids her opponents, the gallerd, and herself, outdraws msot men golf stars. She is one of the most colorful of all athletes, and probably the greatest of American women golfers. She equals men's par 60 per cent of the time while playing from women's tees. Her drives average 240 yards, sometimes are 200. And her short game is ex- cellent. Even Mary, Queen of Scots, couldn't compare with Babe, queen of golfers--on the links.
