TO WIN AUTO RACE.
Fournier Picks Vanderbilt to Finish
First in Big Event.

A cablegram from Paris says that Henri
Fourier said yesterday that he considered
the coming Paris-Madrid automobile speed
contest to be narrowed down to four men,
He did not mention their names, except to
say that Mr.. Vanderbilt was one of them,
owing to his daring and the fact that his
knowledge of mechanical construction en-
abled him to make quick repairs.
w. X. Vanderbilt, jr, and Foxhall Keene
took trial spins yesterday and showed fine
form.
The number of entries, 314, far exceeds
those of any previous race. The machines
will start every minute for a period Of
five hours beginning at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning.
Clarence Moore Of Washington, who has
been over the course and who has studied
the conditions says a minute intermission
between the racers means that it will be
a drive through dense cloud of dust after
the first dozen have been sent away, in
creasing the difficulties and dangers

The American League race is so we'll con-
tested that a weeks play may result in the

Tuesday the Chicago club, the leader. had
won nfteen and lost nine games, and the
record of the tail-end Washington team
was nine victories and fifteen defeats the
difference in percentage points being $50.
The Athletics were within one game of Chi
cago and the Bostons within two Of the
second club. Detroit and Cleveland were
tied for fourth place, and victory for
each and a defeat for Boston on Wednes-
day would put them ahead of Collins team
and make 1t a tie with the Browns. New
York was within easy reach of the first
division and the Senators can soon be In
the first four. The Athletics appear to be
stronger than last season. They are well
equipped except behind the bat, and are
managed most ably.-Sporting News.
The Senators won the last two games OF
their first series with the Browns. Orth

fective as the veteran. The second base
play of Martin, the Altoona recruit, whom
Lotus signed for the outfield, was surpris-
ingly good and his batting timely. He was
not always reliable, but with the handicap
OF a strange position acquitted himself
creditably. Robinson was active, but did
not create the impression that he was
fixture in fast company. He is a third
baseman, however, and even Collins demon
strated that a good guardian of that diff
cult position cannot always give satisfac-
ton at shortstop. Wallace is star at any
infeld position, but Manager Nichols of the
Kansas City club stated, in discussing Col
Inns, that he considered Jimmy the king of
third basemen, but" he added, "he is the
worst shortstop who ever worked behind
me."-Sporting News.
Judging by the averages of the American
League players the teams occupying the re-
spective positions in the race have earned
them by merit of form. Detroit Is the hard
est hitting team in the league, followed in
order by the Athletics, Chicago and ST
Louis. Boston leads in fielding with De-
troft a close second, the champions fifth in
this part Of the game.
In the American League the first battles
between the sections have been of a more
even character than that in the National
League. The opening series closed last
Thursday, and of the sixteen games the
east won seven and lost nine all the teams
breaking even except the Highlanders who
landed only one game out of four.

According to a recent decision of the court
of appeals it is highly probable that diff
ferent method for the distribution of school
funds from the state treasury will be
adopted Formerly the amount appropriated
for the white schools was based on the
entire population of school age, both white
and colored. The funds for the colored
schools were appropriated according to the
coored population. By this method the
colored contingent was counted twice in ar
irving at the amount for each county, and
where the cOlored population is large it has
the advantage. Should the state school tax
be distributed according to the school popu-
lation by which the white and colored would
be counted separately, Prince Georges pro
rata would be reduced 81, 6S95S.

VIEWS OF AN EXPERT.
Good Advice to the Beginner in
Tennis,

1.-THE qualities necessary to attain per-
lection in lawn Tennis remarked a local
expert apropos of the Southern Associa-
ton tournament next week, ARE form, ac-
curacy, pace strategy confidence and en-
durance No player combines all these
qualities to perfection, but some possess
several of these requirements in a marked
degree By form is meant the proper way
of executing a stroke. If the beginner
starts in to play without instruction, and
hits the ball in a way that is most natural
to him, he will acquire a certain amount
of skill against those who play in a SINH
lar way but he can never hope to COM
pete with tournament players In other
words he is playing pat BALI against the
expert strokes of an opponent who has
studied form. If a novice is ambitious to
become a good player he must throw aside
all desire to defeat his rival until he has
acquired proper form, and he must neces-
sarily expect to be beaten. This is the
main reason why men who take up tennis
late in life, seldom advance beyond the
putty stage s~5i
Two Seasons to Acquire Form.
at generally takes about two seasons of
regular play for a beginner to acquire good
tennis form At the end of the first sea-
son he may master the forehand drive
and execute fairly well the back-hand
strokes ana VOleyS.e 1OWdrQ the close OF
the second year, he will probably develop
into a player somewhat beyond the gen
eral average No rule of course can be
laid down for some learn more readily
than others. while there are MANY who
could never play II they practiced a life
time. ~
''As a general rule, 1T requires about five
years for the player to show his best form
When a player reaches a certain point he
seems to stop improving; all his advance
ment is so gradual that he cannot realize it,
1t is at this juncture that many become
disguised and drop the game The player
comes out one day, plays the game of his
life and goes away elated; but the next day
and perhaps for week, he cannot APP
proach the form he showed on that oc-
caSion.
Should Keep in Condition.
eff a man wishes to play a strong, steady
game he should keep himself In the con-.
dition, which will be most likely to produce
that result Tennis players seldom train,
or pay any attention to their physical we'll
being. and this largely accounts for the
variable form exhibited by the expert play
ers during the season.
Tournament playing is great strain
and the difficulties of a hard-fought five
set match is quite an exhausting as any
other form of athletic exercises The ten

athletes do, avoid INJURIOUS eating or
drinking and retire early at night, would
find his chances Of winning doubled But
