Pros constantly ' changing clubs for better golf By 0cr Fraley UPI SI. If Writer NEW YORK il'PH - Jimmy Demaret lias a set of golf clubs which look like Uiey were barely taved from a smelter and therein lies a lesson for Uie average golf er as he gets ready to start the fairway season hi earnest. Demaret's sticks have been al tered beyond recognition. Weight has been added in heel, toe or sole, welded on and buffed off un til Uie numbers long since have been obliterated. "I never get through tinkering with them," says jovial James, who at &4 still was good enough to team with Sam Snead and win the Canada Cup for Uncle Sam. "That's because I change all the time; not the clubs." Which should give you sn idea concerning your clubs as you grow older and stronger, or weak er, as die case may be. You are changing constantly and so must your weapons. Arnold Seeks Putter The pros realize this fully. Every one of them constantly is having new clubs made to speci fication. Maybe the face of a wood is shaved back a fraction for additional loft; Uie heads weighted or the shafts changed, .moid Paimer has been trying for months to get an "exact dupli cate" of his favorite putter to "feel" Just like the original. "I added weight, Uien 1 shaved it off bit by bit," ha frowned. "I just can't seem to get it right." Palmer worries more about his putting than any other part of his fabulous game. He Is known among Uie pros as a man who putts loo boldly, usually stroking past the cup. But when they're dropping, it's Katy bar Uie door. So the importance of his putter and its "feel" is paramount to him. The "feel" of your sticks makes tremendous difference, too, whether you're a low handicap player or a hacker. Without this being a merchandising plug, you get that word straight from Spal ding's John St. Clair, a club-making specialist for 34 years. 70,000 Special Orders St Clair heads a busy depart ment which handles some 70,000 special orders each year. The touring pros on the staff such as Jay Hebert, Gene Littler, Jorry Barber and Paul nunyan are among his best customers but ho also has turned out to specifica tion sticks for such as President Eisenhower, Jim (Maverick) Gar ner and comedian George Gobel. No matter what kind of clubs you prefer, St. Clair suggests Uiat you go to a qualified professional to get "fitted." "The shaft is Uie heart of Uio game." he explains. "So have a pro observe your swing, strengUi, size of hands, length of arms and general physical characteristics. They're aU important. The pro will make certain you have Uie proper head weight, grip weight, shaft weight and length and swing weight. Have you ever wondered wiiy Uie faces of wood clubs are bulged and not those of the irons? Confusing Antwor "On Uie woods," says St. flair, "the center of gravity is an inch to the rear of the center of Uie face and on Uie iron cluh approxi mately one-quarter of an inch to the rear of Uie crater line of the shaft. "When the ball is hit off cen ter with a wood, a gearing action takes place because of Uie bulge on the face, and Ulis compensates for t toe hit or a heel hit." he adds. "It tends to Uirow It hack uitj Uie intended direction of flight. By comparison, the flat face of an iron, being closer to the center of gravity, does not have Uie gearing effect which is obtained from Uie convex-faced wood." Y'lUincrstand? Mc, I'll just lake his word for Uie whole hit. Thevll Do It Ever)' Time ',ri k..!.. By Jimmy Hdtlo mriih ',, 1 I X X o.Ita ucdbimat 1 STICtilM'TWEII?

The 26-year-old native of Oma ha, Neb., broke into organized sport as a member of Uia Har lem Globetrotters in 1057-58. The Globetrotters like to win but mak ing people laugh at Uieir antics is Uieir bread and butter. The Cardinals, on Uie other hand, are interested in the very serious business of ending 15 years of compeUUve failure and winning Uieir first NaUonal League pennant since 1946. And with Gibson firing bullets to help round out a staff of strong arms it is possible that Uie Redbirds will accomplish just that. The Cardinals swept to Uieir eighth victory in 11 games Thurs day night when Uiey beat Uie Houston Colts, 3-2, behind the over-powering, near-no-hit pitch ing of Uie 6-1, 185-pound right handor. Gibson pitched no-hit ball until Roman Mojias opened Uie eighth with a homer, walked only two batters and struck out five. When he completed Uie seventh inning, Gibson, who had a 13-12 record in 1961, had pitched 10 coiv secutive hitless innings, including Uie last three against Uie Cubs on Sunday. Score On Wildnese Gibson's wildness led to a Ho'. ton run in Uie second inning but Uie Cardinals tied Uie score on Julian Javier's fourth-inning horn- Major league standings By United Presi International National League Palmer one stroke off pme SAN ANTONIO, Tex.
