PANCHO GONZALES BEATS

TED SCHROEDER

A Match Of Blazing Services

Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 5.-Dick Gonzales retained his United States tennis championship today with a 16-18, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Ted Schroeder.

The first set was the longest in the history of final round matches for the United States crown, surpassing the 16-14 by Johnny Doeg over Frank Shields in 1930.

Schroeder, champion in 1942 and this year's Wimbledon title-holder, slugged it out with the 21-year-old defending champion for nearly an hour before he cracked Pancho's blistering service to lead 17-16. He then won the set at 18-16 to the cheers of a large crowd of spectators.

BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF"

13-Distance With Wood Clubs

Concentrate on combining accuracy and consistency with distanco when playing your wood clubs. Starting with the grip. I play my wood clubs with The Full Swing I have outlined in the chapter of that litle on that de- partment-of my game. The stanco I favour for my wood clubs, and, in fact, for my long clubs from the three iron right on up through the driver, however, is a slightly closed stance because it provides more traction and better balance,

The stance enables you to strike the more powerful, blow required to get the most out of these clubs. In order to get real distance with them you have to be firmly anchored. Another reason why I favour this stanco on. theso shots is that it enables you to turn your body more freely and freedom of body turn permits you to lengthen the arc of your swing for the longer shots.

Remember when talding up this stance to turn both toes out slightly. It will nid you to keep your balance during the full swing and at the same time permit you freedom of the body and legs for the body turn used to get n Iltle something extra into distance shots.
