Standing Cappers .. Carriers International League Action One of the surprises of the young International League season has "been the pitching of Johnny Bebber, righthander of Syracuse Chiefs. Bebber has started three times for the Chiefs and on each occas- fon he has come through with a complete game victory. Yesterday, he pitched his third triumph, a three-hit, 2-1 victory over Toronto Maple Leafs. The win enabled the Chiefs to move into a ties with Montreal Royals for first place. The astonishing showing of Beb- ber is a complete turnabout of his performance for the Chiefs last year. In 1947, Bebber took part in 28 games, winning six and losing three while going the route only three es. Against the Leafs, Bebber and Toronto's Jim Konstanty were hook. ed up in a scoreless duel until the fifth inning when first sacker Hank Biasatti clubbed Bebber for a hom- er. The Chiefs came back with two runs in the eighth to win. Kermit Wahl beat out a dribbler in front of the plate to start the rally. Austin Knickerbocker, former Leaf, fol- lowed with a triple to score Wahl with the first run. Knickerbocker romped across with the winning marker after Eddie Shokes flied out.

HOW'S YOUR BACK SWING A starting position » and vadkawiug, like that pictured above, practically assure you of a good downswing and finish; yes, a good shot, too. It is important to keep the arms close to By ALEX J. MORRISON Many pro and semi-pre golfers often use the crack, "How's your backswing?" when kidding their golfing friends. Sometimes they fre not kidding. Even spoken of in jest this matter of backswing is mighty , No shot can be made prop. a no downswing can be success- ful unless the club swinger has first made a good backswing. And no player can make a good backswing without first: haVing a good starting position. These are not rules of my mak- ing, simply things I found to be true, without exception, in the per- formances of all kinds of golfers under all kinds of conditions. Certainly they should seem impor- tant enough to any golfer, particu- larly the person who wantg to play better.! We will cover the more im. t stages of the swing in the near future, but first let us briefly review the home exercises already presented. These exercises covered the body and head over the ball. the main fundamentals of body ac- tion and balance, the head position and the use of the hands. Then came the means of blending all of these fundamentals into a complete swing. No doubt some of you have experienced difficulty in making the whole swing one smooth flowing motion so today's pointers should be of great value. Getting everything to work to- gether'in the swing can be consid- ereed as co-ordination between the two hands and co-ordination be. tween the body and the hands. . The upper arms remain quite close to the body throughout the entire swing. This is done best by plac- ing them snug against the front of your body in the starting position and keeping them there during the early stages of the backswing.. By doing this they are more likely to be in the right position at the top of your backswing, also in your down- swing and on through the ball. latter can be hdd only when the |i Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols.

E 3 Walor gp Not so long ago the sport was on the rocks but things have changed for the better and Montreal is crowding Hamilton for the title of Canada's track centre. The Olympic track trials will be held here in July and if the recent invitation meet at the Forum here, which attracted 9,000, is an indi- cation, the Trials should draw big crowds. Cote's Win A Boost The victory of Gerard Cote in the Boston Marathon gave a boost to the Quebec cause and he will be favored to earn a berth on 'the Olympic team at the marthon trials in Hamilton, Scanning the track situation, El- mer (Montreal Herald) Ferguson says: "This is certainly a major and worth-while venture." The trials here, says Fergie, are "the final testing ground for Can- ada's hopes in the Olympic games. Canada has some fine potentials for the London Meet, and here will gather the cream of our nation's athletes."

Stan finished the season with a respectable ,312 mark, but it was quite a drop from his .365 of the previous year which enabled him to lead the league and helped him gain the loop's most valuable player award. It was in mid-season of '46 that he switched over to first base where he played all last year. Stan blamed his decline on an in- flamed appendix. He has had it re- moved since as well as bothersome tonsils, Stan singled in his first two times at bat yesterday, the second one sending in Red Schoendienst with St. Louis' first run as the Cards defeated Chicago Cubs 3-1 in the only day game in the Na- tional League.

During the war the game was curtailed but now, with 24 teams in the Scottish Cup, it*is fast becom- ing a challenge to Scottish soccer. Said an ardent shinty fan: "Our youngsters reach for a caman (a kind of hockey stick) as soon as they reach' for their parritch spoons. Football is as foreign to them as bull-fight| Introduced centuries ago when the Celts came to Britain from Europe, shinty is a mixture of Irish hurling, hockey, polo, field hockey and what-have-you. Centres like Oban, Ballachulish, Inverness and Newtonmore, have youngsters keen to cut their sporting teeth on an exhausting 90-minute session of shinty with old masters.
