ROTATING TURN VS. -LATERAL SHIFT
By BEST BALL
A natural winding and un- winding of the hips is desired formula for the proper. body turn in the golf stroke. Such a pivot in the upstroke` re- duces the lateral shifting of the body so that it is hardly apparent as a study of the two top illustrations above will reveal, Although the club is half through its journey on the upstroke in the second pose, there is very little differ- ence in the body's alignment with the post in the rear. The stationary head and the left side enjoy the same relation to it that they did at address.
In the lower panel the play- shifted his body er has so laterally to the right, that his left knee is actually pointed inward in stilted fashion to the rear, with only the tip of the left toe touching the ground. This sway has placed the entire weight on the right foot and any further upswing will only further such distor- tion. Even provided that the player is able to return the clubhead to the ball in an ac- curate manner, the stroke will lack distance obtaining power.

The knock-out occurred 2 min- utes and 54 seconds after the stari of the 13th round when Conr landed a smashing left hook the chin, felling Pastor for fourth time.

Actually, however, it was Conn's whistling hooks to the body that paved the way for Pastor's defeat| after Pastor seemed to have piled up an almost insurmountable lead in the early rounds.
The beginning of the end' came in the eighth Inning when Conn landed a savage hook which was low, doubl. ing up. Pastor "and "causing. the referee to call a foul.
Pastor was still weak when he came out for the ninth inning and took a terrific beating. He was on! the canvas at the count of eight when the bell saved him after Conn had landed a blasting. lett hook to the body. Pastor "was loored for the second time in the 12th round.

Sull speedy despite his increas- 2d weight, Conn managed tc weather Pastor's tremendous body punches, especially his best punch —a smash to the heart-and after a disastrous beginning set a whilwind gait. Conn's. light- weight title was not involved as he was fighting as a heavyweight,| hoping for a crack at Joe Louis.
The fight was postponed for one month on account of rain. There was little interest although Pro- moter Mike Jacobs before the #ght predicted" a $50,000 gate. Conn was an 11 to 5 favourite.
