OIYet the South Siders remind you
of tho winner of a stock car race.
A wheel from this Junk yard and
a transmission from another wreck.
You ask Paul Richards not
using the word junk, of course
about such as Jim Rivera, Johnny
oroth, Sherman Lollar and the
pitchers. Bob Kecgan, Don John
son, Jack Harshman and Harry
Dorish. All are guys who were not
needed nor very much wanted else
where. Yet, with Repairman Richards,
they are making things enjoyable
in Chicago and liie miserable in
other parts.
Someone spoke of the hitch in
Rivera's swing.
Hitch," h u m p h e d Professor
Richards. "When a fellow with a
hitch doesn't hit, its the hitch.
When a fellow with a hitch hits,
nothing is said about the hitch. The
greatest of hitlers have had hitch
es. Babe Ruth dropped his hands,
then brought them up. practically
took a roundhouse swing. And the
Bam copied Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Lou Gehrlng, Paul Waner and Rudy
York had hitches to their swings.
'If Rivera bats as" he did in lift
ing his average from .076 to .290
In two weeks, he can hitch all he
pleases all afternoon or night, as
far as I'm concerned. It wasn't the
hitch at all that was killing Rivera.
It was overstridlng. Hours of prac
tice and instruction taught him not
to."

"Harshman had to acquire a

The battle for the 2.40O top

ly was under way when Bolt sank
a six-footer for a birdie, while
Stewart, hurt by a slice off the
tee and an erratic chip, holed out
in 5.
That gave Bolt a. two-stroke lead

Stewart blrdied the second, and
Bolt gained a three-stroke advan

Probably because he was press

out of bounds by 14 inches. He had
to drive again, which counted as
his third shot, and his approach
landed on the edge of a trap.
Meanwhile. Bolt, playing safe for
his first major victory since win

on the green in two, with an easy
