Two Aussies Meeting for Tennis Title After Richardson Loses
Rex Hartwig Beats
Last U. S. Survivor
In Jersey Tourney
By th« Associated Press
SOUTH ORANGE, N. J.. Aug.
B.—Two Australian youths, Lewis
Hoad and Rex Hartwig, smashed
their way into the title round of
the Eastern Grass Court tennis
championships today at the
Orange Lawn Tennis Club.
Hoad, seeded third among the
foreign players, turned in one of
his best performances of the
week when he blasted the top
seeded foreign entry, Ken Rose
wall, 6—4, 6—l, 5 —7, 6— 4 in
one all-Australian semifinals.
Rosewall is a leading candidate
for the Aussie Davis Cup squad.
Hartwig turned back Ham
Richardson of Baton Rouge, La.,
6—4, 3—6, 9—7. 6—3. Richard
son. seeded fourth, was the last
Remaining American in the tour
nament.
Hoad Won Last Time.
Hoad and Hartwig will meet
tomorrow for the title. The last
time they faced one another,
Hartwig was leading two sets to
love and 5—4 in the third set
when Hoad won 22 straight
games to take the match. This
was in Australia last year.
Hoad had control of the situa
tion almost throughout the entire
match. His service, which is
one of the most devastating seen
here in a long time, gave him
the edge over Rosewall right
from the start. Hoad lost his
service only twice in the match,
once in the ninth game of the
first set and in the 12th game
of the third set.
.Hartwig Almost off Team.
Hartwig, who upset Vic Seixas,
Wimbledon champion, yesterday,
has turned out to be an embar
rassing surprise for the Austral
ian delegation here. The Aus
tralian Lawn Tennis Association
had originally left him off their
overseas touring team. However,
the citizens of his native town
took up a collection and paid
the fare to this country.
In the semifinal round of the
men’s doubles, Tony Trabert of
Cincinnati and Billy Talbert of
New York, top-seeded Ameri
cans, defeated Hartwig and Mer
vyn Rose of Australia, second on
the foreign list, 2—6, 4—6, 9—7.
9 —7, 6—l. The victors will meet
Hoad and Rosewall in the finals
tomorrow.
Doris Hart of Coral Gables,
Fla., and Shirley Fry of Akron,
Ohio, copped the women’s dou
bles title by ousting Jean Q.
Rinkel and Helen Fletcher, Brit
ish Wightman Cup players, 6—2,
6—4.

Swimming for Walter Reed as
they cracked the 880-yard free
style record with a 10:24.9 race
were, in order, the Misses Free
man, Gillett, Peters and Mann.
The old record of 10:37.8 was
set by the Washington Athletic
Club of Seattle in 1935.
Their efforts today boosted the
Walter Reed girls far out in front
in the team standings and made
It virtually impossible for any
other team to catch them. Walter
Reed has 66 points, Fort Lauder
dale of Florida 33. and the Crys
tal Plunge of San Francisco 28.
Patricia McCormick of Los
Angeles, the Olympic champion,
retained her title in the one
meter springboard diving con
test. She scored 173.08 points.
Her closest rival was Paula Jean
Meyers of Covina, Calif., who
had 149.03.

WASHINGTON GIRL BREAKS RECORDS—GaiI Peters (right)
of the Walter Reed Swim Club of Washington already has
broken two records in the National swimming cham
pionships at Portland, Oreg. Yesterday she established a
meet record of 3:01.1 in winning the 220-yard breaststroke,
and Friday she set an American record with 4:21.7 in winning
the 330-yard individual medley. With Miss Peters is Barbara
Stark of San Francisco, who set an American record of 2:45.7
in the 220-yard backstroke Friday. (Story on Page C-l.)

information given him on several
holes. On the first, he hit his
second shot where they told him,
and it went into a trap. They
told him he couldn’t drive the
13th green, and he let up, but
Brownell did drive the green,
j On some of the short putts
which he missed, Hogan raked
the ball back in the manner of
an angry golfer when he wasted
a stroke
Hogan started the show with
a half-hour clinic that was
handicapped because of the lack
of a mike. One has been prom
ised for the clinic tomorrow.
After the first hole, Hogan went
over par on the par 3 sixth,
where he hit a pin-splitting 2-
iron that went over the green.
Ben chipped back, but was too
bold on a three-foot putt. He
also missed par on the 13th when
he trapped his second and was
out weakly.
Hogan birdied the 340-yard,
par-4 fifth hole after a tremen
dous drive, a short chip and an
eight-foot putt, and he birdied
the par-5 eighth after being
trapped in two by knocking in a
15-footer.
The match wasn’t much of a
contest. Beman gave his team a
! half with a par on the first hole,
and Hogan put them 1 up with
a par on the second. Westland
evened it with a birdie deuce on
i the short third hole. Hogan's
birdie made his team 1 up on five,
then both he and Beman birdied
the eighth, and Ben got a par
on the ninth for a 3-up lead.
Brownell's only birdie cut the
I margin to 2 up when he drove
the 360-yard 13th hole and two
putted The balls got tremendous

Beman came back to drive
two feet from the edge of the
the 270-yard 14th hole and he
pitched close for the birdie that
put his team 3 up. Again the
foursome drove off on the next
hole and then the thickening
clouds let loose.
Beman was a favorite with the
gallery because of his youth and
he played well despite excusable
nervousness. After the round,
Hogan gave him one tip, to hold
the club more in his fingers and
not so much in the palm of
his hands.
Westland had absolutely no
luck on the putting greens and
both he and Bromwell showed
unfamiliarity with the course.
With one look at the layout,
Hogan undoubtedly will do better
tomorrow.

Use Closed Stance
For Distance Shot
(No. 13 in a Series.)

The stance I favor for long
| irons, fairway wood clubs and
j the driver is a closed stance,
I pai’ticularly for the fairway
wood clubs and the driver. The
reason is that this stance gives
you more traction and balance.
It enables you to strike the
more powerful blow required to
get the most out of those clubs.
In order to get real distance
with them you’ve got to be
firmly anchored.
In the closed stance above my
right foot has been withdrawn
from the direction line and my
left foot has been advanced be
yond f it. The position of the ball
j in relation to the feet is still
| constant. This stance en
; courages a draw or hook,
j Another reason for favoring
j this stance on these shots is
that it enables you to turn your
body more freely. Freedom of
I body turn pei’mits you to
i lengthen the arc of your swing

Colts Stress Air Defense
In Practice for Eagles
By the Associaied Press
WESTMINSTER, Md.. Aug. 8.
—Pass defense was the main
worry of Coach Keith Moles
worth today in getting his Balti
more Colts ready for their first
exhibition football game next
Saturday against the Philadel
phia Eagles in Norfolk,
j “We have to concentrate on
rushing the passer as much as
possible up front,” the coach
said, “and generally tighten up
our defensive backfield.”
The throwers worrying Moles
worth are Bobby Thomas and
Adrian Burk, Eagle quarterbacks.
: The latter played for the Colts
before they folded in 1950 and
Baltimore has been trying to get
him again for their comeback.
Molesworth has not yet de
cided on his defensive backfield
alignment. Indications are that
it will come from among Bert
Rechichar, former Tennessee
standout. Tom Keane, Don
i Shula, Carl Taseff and Mel

for Ben. The figure credited to
Hogan was $16,604.16.
Os course, the PGA does not
include Hogan’s British Open
winnings, only PGA-sponsored
or co-sponsored tournaments.
Hogan first won the Masters
this year, worth $4,000. He went
home to Texas and won the Co
lonial Open, worth $5,000.
His triumph in the Pan-Amer
ican Open in Mexico was cred
ited to his PGA earnings, and
that was a $2,600 top. The Na
tional Open victory this year
was worth $5,000 for the first
time.
Any way you add it that’s
$16,600. But the PGA repeatedly
insists he’s won $16,604.16.
What’s the $4.16, tax, appear
ance money, interest or what?
Hogan’s strokes in those four
events match the PGA total
credited to him, it’s just the
money.
And they are the only events
Hogan has entered. We know
that some of the pros who com
plain that Hogan has the ad
vantages in starting times, play
ing partners and otherwise gets
preferred treatment are going to
investigate the $4.16. ’Fess up,

had played his first round the
previous day at East Potomac
and shot a 52. He wanted to
know if that was good.
Hai’ry said he though 52 for
the first time out was a wonder

Jerry Long, the East Potomac
pro-manager, attended the re
cent Mid-Atlantic PGA meeting
‘in which the pros voted to
fine and suspend any member
guilty of bringing a partner to
a pro-amateur tournament with
a false handicap.
Jerry hadn’t given it much
thought, because he has been an
advocate of strict and correct
handicapping. But the other day
at All View he had Layne Leof
fler as a partner and Layne had
an 18 handicap.
Jerry started pretty good, but
Layne started par-par on the i
Ellicott City course. Layne missed
\ par on the third hole but he
pai-red the fourth.
Suddenly Jerry realized that
his 18-handicap partner was only
one over par for four holes. “I

He became so upset he double-
I bogied the next hole, and when
! Layne made another par on the
, fifth, Long went for another 6.
Layne got back on his game on
the next hole, however, and took
7, then came up with an 8 on
; the next. Long was relieved and
he settled down with a par and
a birdie, but it was too late.
Layne finished with 95 and
Long went home with a clear
conscience but no prize money.

There has been some dissatis
faction with the team of District
amateur golfers selected by a
. four-man committee to play
' Virginia’s best in the fifth an
nual match today at the Coun
try Club of Virginia.
It’s a thankless task for any
committee, no matter how small
or large, to pick the best 16
players in town, particularly
when they have nothing con
crete as a basis for selection.
Why doesn’t the District Golf
| Association adopt a point sys
tem? Something like a point for
qualifying for a city or State
amateur or invitation tourna
ment, 2 points for winning a
match, 3 for reaching the quar
ter-finals, 5 for the semifinals.
7 the final and 10 the title. And
something like 10 for qualifying
for the National Amateur and
Open, several for winning a club
championship, etc.
The selection not only would
be simpler, but a place on the
team also would mean some
-1 thing.
from 1925 to 1932, becoming
manager in August of that year
and holding the post until mid
season of 1938. He came back
to manage the Cubs again in
1944, continuing until June. 1949,
when he was moved up to vice
president in charge of personnel.
