SPORTING COMMENT.
Nescs and Viears on amateur and
Professional Topics.

The week Just closed saw a new name added
10 the list of holders Of the blue ribbon OF Amer
team lawn tennis. The singles champion.
William J. Clothier. OF Philadelphia has been a
foremost figure i'm tournament play and a worthy
aspirant for national honors for several seasons.
His game is OF the sashing variety and is de-
pendent for success more upon placed shots or
side line smsshes from midcourt or the net than
upon lobbing the base line drive tactics OF
which Richard Stevens has long been one OF the
leading exponents.
MT Clothier plays gracefully. but covers much
ground without apparent effort. In these re-
spects and in build he resembles Malcolm D.
whitman who was. when at his best. probably
the greatest player Vet developed in this country
Both Messrs. Clothier and Whitman. by the
way are products of the lawn tennis department
at Harvard University. which has turned out a
surprisingly large number Of players of the first
force. including. besides those mentioned. Fred
Hovey whose practice game was Of a briIIisncv
possibly never equalled by any player here or
abroad. but who had lamentable tendency to
go to pieces in important crises i'm tournament
play; Rob Wrenn. looked upon as almost an
ideal ell around athlete whose indomItabIe
spirit and courage have won for him MANY
match which seemed lost: Dwight r Davis
giver OF the international trophy who. with Hol-
combe Ward. made what is generally considered
me greatest doubles combination vet produced
IN this country; Beals G. Wright. the recently
Gethr9ned champion. and many others Of only
slightly less strength
Mr.. Clothier's recent seriou. sco,5ar+ v-n,oh

necessary In the early part of the season. and

THE TURF.

Many occurrences of the past two decades
and even Of the last few years have been hailed
by enemies OF thoroughbred racing and by pes
simists among its friends as foreshadowing the
doom or the sport. Laws that have been passed
have been considered evil portents and the dis
agreement between the Jockey Club and the
Metropolitan Turf Association was proclaimed
