CNUFFY Stirnweiss, the bounding
^ Yankee second baseman, rates
double ranking as a combination
baseball and football star. Snuffy at
North Carolina university was the
tar heel ace from the Bronx, one of
I the best backs that ever galloped
and threw passes
for Carolina glory.
Now he has proved
to be one of the best
young ball players
that Joe McCarthy
ever handled, espe
cially on offense
where he is a run
away cheetah
around the bases
and better than .300
at the plate.
The Stirnweiss
claim to double
Grantland Bice
fame brought up an old argument
recently that began with this ques
tion?
"Who was the best combination
football and baseball player in the
history Of the big leagues?"
There are more than a few who
belong in this contest. First of all,
there was Christy Mathewson, Buck
nell's star back and the Giants'
greatest right-hander. A trifle later
on we had Big Orvie Overall of Cali
fornia and the Cubs. Eddie Collins
was a fine Columbia quarterback be
fore he became one of the top second
basemen of all time.
Certainly no one could rake up a
list along these lines and leave off
Frank Frisch, the 145-pound Ford
ham flash and one of the best ball
players of his or any other time. We
can offer you another in the person of
Spud Chandler, Georgia's star kick
ing and running back and the Yan
kees' 1943 ace.
Lou Gehrig was another Columbia
football star, whose fine gridiron rec
ord was overshadowed by his base
ball fame. And no one can overlook
Mickey Cochrane, a triple-threat
performer of high merit at Boston
university and one of the three best
catchers I've ever seen. Cochrane
was All-America calibre in every
way.
And there was Jim Thorpe, only
a fair big leaguer, but football's fin
est back, and Ernie Nevers of Stan
ford and th4 Browns who was as
good a back as any coach could ask
for.
The Hot Parade
There must have been a few oth
ers, but even this collection shows
the hot parade Stirnweiss has joined
? Mathewson, Overall, Collins,
Frisch, Chandler, Cochrane, Gehrig,
Thorpe and Nevers.
But the main question still re
mains unsettled?"If 100 points were
awarded for baseball skill and the
same for football ability, who would
finish on top?"
Mathewson, Gehrig, Cochrane,
Frisch and Chandler head the base
ball list. Thorpe and Nevers were
the two leading football players from
the group. In the combined rank
ing we find Frisch, Chandler, Stirn
weiss, Cochrane and Overall well up
the ladder.
My guess is that for combined
ability in both games Frisch wouldn't
be too far away from the main gate.
But he would be well pressed by
Overall, Chandler and Cochrane who
were also high up in both branches
of the football-baseball tree.

Nelson's Swing
Byron Nelson, the Texas whiz, has
already cracked all past money and
bond-winning records for competi
tive golf. Before the year is out he
is sure to pass the $50,000 mark,
which is a Mt. Everest altitude in
the ancient and honorable pastime
of pasting the pill.
Slightly changing an old query?
"Upon what swing doth this, our
Nelson bank, that he has become so
great?"
In pursuit of this information we
called upon A1 Ciuci, pro at the
Fresh Meadow Country Club, and
one of the best instructors and
smartest observers of them all. He
knows most of the answers. Here is
Al's angle on Nelson?
"In my opinion the success of By
ron Nelson is due to his sound golf
swing. Just what does this mean?
It means for a starter that he has
Arm, uncocked hands and wrists at
the top of his backswing. This gives
him a closed face. He has a solid
strong right leg bearing his weight,
and what is more important?a re
stricted pivot on his backswing.
"His head is at all times back of
the ball, which accounts for his body
being back of the sphere until the
hit and his hands move on to com
plete a smooth follow through. With
this type of swing he can rarely
push the ball off line. If any error
occurs, he will hook.
Like Douglas Edgar
"Nelson's backswing reminds me
of Douglas Edgar, whom you remem
ber well. In my opinion Edgar was
the finest iron player of all time. He
was a great instructor as well as a
fine player and he started a system
of club swinging that came along to
Nelson many years later on.
"Don't forget also that Nelson is a
determined competitor who is usual
ly able to concentrate fully all the
way through a tournament. This is
just as important as a correct
swing."
