GEN. MILES MAY MAKE APPEAL
Considered Probable That He VIII Sub
nit the Case to Congress, Which Gre

listed Between Board and Department.

The recent order Of the Secretary Of War
relieving Col. J. r. Story. Artillery Corps,
from dutz as a member OF the Board Of
Ordnance and Fortifcations. and assigning
him 20 the single duty Of president Of the
Artillery School at Fort Monroe. has a
much deeper significance than appears on
its face.
That the relief OF Colonel Story is in
compliance with desire OF the Ordnance
Department. of which General Crozier IS
now chief. is not doubted by The members
composing the majority Of the board
A Long Existing Feud.
For many years there has been a strong
feeling Of jealousy between the Ordnance
Department and the Board Of Ordnance and
Fortidcations. OF which General Miles is
president Each holds that. under law. il
is entitled 70 determine ordnance types for
the army and conduct all official tests OF
guns and their appliances. with a view 10
possible adoption by the service. The re-
suit Of this admittedly unfortunate con
troVersy has been greatly to the disadvan-
tage Of the army and it is declared. has
prevented that natural progression alone

all the other branches Of the United States
Army
Beard Ruled for Awhile.
Prior 70 the advent Of William Crozier
as chief Of ordnance. the Secretary of War
had favored the contention Of the Board Of
Ordnance and Fortifcations that it was an
thofizcd b. statute TO determine new ord
nance types Since then. however. nearly
SIX months ago, there has seemingly been
a change in favor Of the Ordnance Depart
ment and none OF the proceedings Of the
board have been acted upon I'm the period
which. has elapsed.
The significance in the recent relief OF
Colonel Story is said TO be apparent when
u Is considered that the vote Of the
Board OF Ordnance and FOrtifeatIons on
all important questions has always been
carried over the Ordnance Department
BY the small majority Of one.
Story Against Department.
Colonel stoTy's vote has always been
against the Ordnance Department II
is pointed out by the adherents Of the
Board or Ordnance and FortheatIons
that the new assignment Of Colonel Story
at Fort Monroe is not sufficient cause for
mis- relief as member Of the Board, as
when General Frank held the same posi-
tion he likewise retained his connection
with the Board and attended all its meet
ings
Il is more than tacitly understood at
the War Department that an officer

STYLES of PI,y

The styles of play Of the present lead -
ers in tennis are profitable study
to all racket wielders Every expert
has peculiarites Of his own which he
considers best adapted to his ability.
physique, temperament. etc. and there.
In lie the variations in tennis technique
These differences In style have given
each prominent exponent Of the game
distinct Individuality which is
plainly discernble even 10 mere casual
observers Take Whitman, FOR in
stance. lie is the typical defensive
player Crafty and cool. he seldom de-
yelops a violent and brilliant mode of
attack, choosing rather TO meet returns
accurately, awaiting an opportunity to
place the ball out Of his opponents
reach. Opposed to Whltman's style are
Champion Larned and Davis. Larned
plays with a pronounced dash, often
times recklessly, trusting to tire out
his opponent or make the point on
lucky return. In this respect Larned
resembles Davis who Is Enthusiastically
the fastest player now In harness.
Davis IL the strenuous type Of player.
He seldom considers the consequences
and smashes the sphere with all the
strength In his sturdy body. His favor
lite pastime, In fact, Is killing" the bail.
and many a time he sends It over the
net with force so terrific as TO render a
return absolutely impossible,

Ex-Cbampion Bob wrenn.

Ex-Champlon Bob Wrenn is perhaps
the highest ideal of a winning player.
and II young player wants some style
to copy his Is the best He has all the
defensive genius of Whitman, with a
stronger attack and a much better net
game Wrenn uses his weight in the
stroke better than does Whitman and
manages to make the ball travel faster
without materially greater risk Of error.
He was a master of defense at his best
and also a master of attack, and, best
OF ALL a general In tactics one could
not do better than to copy his style.
The English experts, like Mahony. for
instance, have different style Of play
Ing their back hand strokes from that
most used in America, and II is much
safer, although perhaps not so brilliant
for passing strokes. They carry the
wrist very low In back hand play, and
the head Of the racket passes under
the ball after making the stroke instead
of following IL so long as do the Amer
lean rackets. This style has the merit
OF being much more certain Of return
than ours, but the ball is not so easily
turned off one way or another,

In the doubles, Of course, the redoubt-
able Dwight +. Davis Of ST. Louis and
Holcombe Ward of Orange, N, j., are

teams they have ever met in order to

Hobnrt,s Grnnnd siroke.

Clarence Hobart Of New York is an
other hard hitter but OF different
type from Davis. He does not take 80
many chances as the st. Louis expert
and confines most OF his efforts 10 hard
ground strokes from the base line. The
ball travels fast and low with a sharp
up twist, like the famous old Lawford
stroke, but 1t has long bound and is
not difficult to return II the opponent
Is active and certain enough In his re-
turns, The weakness Of Hobart's style
is his lack Of volleying, but his ground
stroke might well be copied II one can
add good volleying to make the net
game an important factor as well.
Richard Stevens OF Hoboken, ~ T.. IS
the typical base line player OF the coun.
try. 1t Is literally true that he never
volleys at all In match. He has
perfect command OF the ball after II
has bounded, and he hits It both hard
aud accurately. This style Of base line
play is all right FOR defense II the play
er has enough strength to last almost
Indefinitely but 1t is very weak for at
tack. It's chief weapon Of attack Is the
passing stroke, and Stevens always
tries to draw his opponent into the vol
leying position near the net so that he
may pass him with fast ground stroke
Or lob over his head.
