DUMSDAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, May 16 -- (CP) -- ning a "Canadian" championship in the annual tournament staged . here by the Canadian Bowling As- sociation is "somewhat of a hollow victory" in the opinion of George (Sudbury Star) Grace. y The C.B.A. tag is somewhat mis- leading, argues George, because un» like the American: Bowling Con- gress, the C.B.A. "is almost an ex- clusively Toronto organization." Whereas Americans from all parts attend the A.B.C. functions, entrants to the C.B.A. "come 90 Aber cent from Toronto and rarely far beyond the borders of Ontario." George agrees that any Canadian bowler is welcome but unless you happen. to come up with a cash prize, travelling to Toronto for the meet proves expensive for trundlers | th from Eastern and Western Coasts While on the subject, George reviews the discrepancy in rules of five-pin howling in Eastern and Western Canada and if Dominion titles are ever going to mean any- thing, it's high time the pin-spille ers came In the in must the score West it's the same counts one.

The first time we saw him, seven years ago, we went away talking to ourselves, saying it wasn't so. But it was--and is. Not every man's face is his for- tune, but the Angel's is. You may shudder as you watch him work and grunt in the ring with that enormous head juggling atop his hairy shoulders and ape- like arms. You may shiver as you count the folds in his neck and scan the shaved, creased head of this mat monstrosity. And you may flinch with fear as he' applies the bear-hug in his own little way to subdue the exhibitionists who draw os mat bugs in out of the night air. But, you'll have to admit, that the Angel really is a success. at his business, even though it's all mon- key business. Now 43 years old, the Angel was brought to this country from France seven years ago by his dis- coverer, Karl Pojello, the Lithu- anlan wrestler and promoter, The Angel's real name is Maurice Tillet. He was nicknamed "The Angel" by his mother, who called him that from childhood. As a youth he played soccer football and also appeared in the French films. He was an location in far-away Singapore when Pojello discovered him. The Angel was a wrestler, top, but at the time he only knew the Greco-Roman style. Pojello realized that the Angels face was his fortune and he brought him to North America. Huge crowds turned out to see this monstrosity from France and he made & cross- country tour. It Pays To Be Ugly -- Look At The Angel! Highlighting his tour were sev- eral "stops at University science departments wheer he was exam- ined and measured and diagnosed by medicos who have varied opin- ions on the strangs home structure and hude head of this genial strong man from France. The Angel made big maney and so did his manager, Paojello. The buildup continued with the Angel defeating all comers with his "bear hug." Today, after seven years in the United States, the Angel has piled up a nice nest egg. According to Pojella, the Angel has made $100,000 and has his money salted away in bank in England, Canada and the United States. He wrestles 20 times a month and now has had more than 2,000 matches. He's "won" 88 out of every 100. His biggest purse was $6,000 for a mateh in White City stadium, London, where a crowd of 46,000 turned out to jeer and cheer him. He now works on a percentage basis, generally getting up to 25 per cent of the gate. He continues to draw big crowds wherever he ap- pears. The Angel spends most of his time in his hotel rooms for to wander around the streets might cause a riot or cause women to faint. He reads a lot and now can speak good English. He became a United States citizen recently and {makes his home in Chicago. Unmarried (he says the girls would want to marry him "only for my money") he has one close rela- tive 'living. His mother lives in a $25,000 home at Rheims, France. It is the Angel's wish to return there soon to visit her. He stands 5 feet 8% inches tall and he weighs 276 pounds. PROPER WEIGHT SHIFTING [e bt The wrong and right body action in the backswing is demonstrated by "Hoot" Whitaker, pro of Pasadena, Cal. through failure to shift the weight to the right leg as the first move. The wrong action results Proper weight shifting assures a good windup. By ALEX J. MORRISON "That's right, start the club back, but stay right over the ball," said e amateur instructor. The instructor was trying to guide a novice in building a back- swing. The situation reminded me of several things about the teach- ing of golf that I do not like to think or talk about. Naturally, when you are lost, you will ask the way of almost anygne and obviously, if your adviser sn't know the right way he can only misdirect you. It takes more than an amateur instructor to put you on the right road in golf, especially about body action in the swing. This funda- mental is a big subject but there J o much toward putting you on the right track ana keeping you there. 'The point is found in the very first move that is made with the body in starting the backswing. Consider the movement needed for a full swing. It will be easier to make the distinction between the wrong and right movements. -By trying to keep the head abso- lutely still, staying right over the ball or keeping the body out of the swing you invariably will make the action negative. Your weight will remain on your left leg and your midsection will lock and fight against all movements in other parts of your body such as your arms and hands. You can prove this to your own satisfaction simply by making a backswing, stopping at the top and then lifting your left foot off the ground completely. You will have to shift your weight before it can be lifted. But, if you start your backswing with a shifting of your weight to the right you will find your midsection comparatively free and moving in harmony with your hands. Then the downswing is easy. Practise this shift at home. By MARGERY MILLER The position of women in lawn tennis has been assured since Mary Outerbridge, a New York girl, in- ace he sport to the United es. . Tennis is an ancient game, but it WES LUUL Buapiey Wo de was pasy Usain Iate in the 19th century. Then it caught on in Britain and was taken to Bermuda by British Army officers, some of whom were stationed there. - Mary spent the winter of 1874 in Bermuda. She returned to New York n the Sprig hr } §et and a at enthusiasm for new AA inally' she suaded one of her brothers, a director of the Staten Island cricket and base- hall club, to mark off a court foi lawn tennis. Mary and her gir friends played day after day. At first men viewed the game with scepticism, Simply because girls liked it so well. Later they took it up themselves. Despite the fact that girls started play in this country, the first na- tional championships, held in New- port, R.I, in 1881, were for men. 8ix years later, however, women's champignships were inaugurated at Philadelphia. Ireland was ahead of the United States in arranging women's nationals, for they bowed in there in 1870. For Men Only The international competition at Wimbledon was for men only in 1877, when it started. But within seven years the ladies were wel- come. At first English-women walk- ed off with the tournaments, but starting in 1905 and continuing to the present time ladies from other countries have taken their share of the laurels. France, the United States, Australia, and South Africa have developed outstanding players. As opportunities for women play- ers opened up, stars appeared wha made notable contributions to the sport, Mrs. G. W, Hillyard of Eng- land, one of the early luminaries, roved the value of determined base-line play. Mrs. Lambert Cham- bers, another Englishwoman, per- fected timing and with it, accuracy. She was a four-time winner of the Wimbledon singles. The first American woman star of note was May Sutton, who in 1804 won the United States singles and doubles titles. She went to Wimbledon, where she became the first US. girl to win a world's championship. France, not to be left out of the running, then came up with Suz- anne Lenglen, probably the greatest of all women stars, Suzanne won her first championship in &t, Cloud in 1914. She was just 15 years of age. She remained undefeated in the singles at Wimbledon from 1919 to 1925 and proved herself quick- thinking, strong, versatile and mis- tress of every stroke, She was to dominate the scepe in the sports era at the time of and after the first world war, although several sterling American players vied for the spotlight. Molla Was Colorful Among these was Mary K. Browne, wha won the United States singles title 1912 to 1914 and shared TENNIS HAS PRODUCED MANY COLORFUL NAMES IN LISTS OF WOMEN COMPETITORS iB "Sarah Cooke ¥ - h gS Suzanne Lenglen Mary K. Brown Pauline Betz the doubles title five years. Later, when the incomparable Suianne turned professional, Mary joined her tour, playing match after match for the edification of galleries across the country. More colorful than Mary was Molla Bjudstedt Mallory, the Nor- wegian tiger woman. Molla, who smoked and drank, apparently took nothing seriously, certainly not tennis. Yet she brought a ferocious energy to the game never before shown by a girl. She SLAMMED the ball. Her hard play and killer instinct brought girls' play much closer to men's. Molla, starting in 1915, wen eight United States singles cham- pionships and two doubles titles. On the eve of one important match she attended a party. She smoked, drank, ate indigestible food, and finally left at 4.30 the next morn- ing. She won the match in a breeze. Very unlike her was Helen Wills, a cool sphinx from California. When she was 16 Helen beat Molla for the national championship. She had first come east in 1922, when she was 15. That year she earned half of the national doubles crown. From then until her retirement In the middle 1930s she was top wo- man player on this continent. In all, she won or shared ten United States championships, and took seven world's titles at Wimbledon. The Two Helens Good as Helen was, however, she was not good enough to defeat Suzanne Lenhglen. An international match was arranged for February, 1926, at Cannes, France. Suzanne won beyond doubt or argument, 6-3, 7-5. 'At the time she faced Helen, the French star had taken a total of 15 hard court European cham- pionships. In the finals of championships at Forest Hill in 1934 Helen Wills was losing" to Helen Jacobs, her bitterest U.S. the national rival. She quit, claiming injury to her back. The nation's sports writ- ers accused her of being a poor sport. In 1935 she came east again en route to Wimbledon, announc- ing that her back was healed. The two Helens met in the Wimbledon final, She fought back from the verge of defeat to beat Helen Jac- obs and silence her critics. Shortly thereafter she retired. Players of the post-world war era provided a boost to women's tennis. So also did the inauguration of the Wightman Cup series in 1923. Mrs. George R. Wightman of Boston, American champion for four years, donated the trophy for annual women's competition, which has taken place alternately in England and the United States between teams representing the two coun- tries. . Pauline Be{z Now An outstanding English star of the late 20s and early 80s was Betty Nuthall, who walked off with the United States singles title in 1930 and shared the doubles cham- pionship three years. Helen Jacobs was a four-time winner of the na- tional single crown and proved a capable, steady performer although she never could attain the heights of Helen Moody or Suzanne Leng- len. In 1936 a new star appeared in blonde Alice Marble, who took the national singles title. Alice, a Californian with a good voice which made her a successful entertainer in swank supper rooms, lacked con- doubles crown. The most recent national title. holders are Sarah Palfrey Cook and Pauline Betz, now touring as pros fessionals. Neither is a colorful pers former. But out in California a young package of color has appears ed in the person of Gertrude "Gussie" Moran. Bill Tilden has tabbed her as a future great. If her playing is up to her looks and pers sonality, she cannot miss. Billy Hoult Picked to Hold Crown Toronto, May 16 -- (CP) -- A taciturn little guy who can con- trol a ball with the dexterity of a juggler, is training to. do what no one has done before--win the Canadian bowling championship twice in succession, Nearly every day 14-year-old Billy Hoult rolls off a dozen or so frames in an effort to main- tain the form that won him the Canadian Bowling Association championship; a title won among a field of hundreds with an ag- gregate score of 2417 in nine games, And every practice ball that glides down young Hoult's alley is followed by the critical eyes of George Corbridge, a former city champion who has become the boy's self-appointed coach and adviser. It wag the kindly, soft-spoken Corbridge who, while watching a group of pin boys bowl in their off-hours, discovered the tousel- ed-haired Hoult. All the boy meeded, Corbridge decided, was finesse in foot and hand control. Billy learned his lessons so well that it made him not only the youngest to win the title, but this tribute from ony Sutcliffe, himself a former C.B. A. champion: "That kid knows more about bowling than I do, GENERAL MOTORS DELCO-HEAT AUTOMATIC HEATING EQUIPMENT OIL BURNERS -- COAL STOKERS May be financed GM out of Income by the Convenient LA.C., Payment Plan - FINE QUALITY COAL - COKE - FUEL OIL THE ROBERT DIXON COMPANY LIMITED 313 ALBERT ST.
