PHILADELPHIA Courts.

PHILADELPHIA, June 22-In contrast
to the play Monday. little progress was
made yesterday in the women's national
championship lawn tennis tournament on
the courts of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club at ST. Martins This was mainly
owing to misunderstanding. which re-
suited in the abandonment of the morn

singles, Miss Edith Rotch of Boston de-
feating Miss E. G. Ostheimer of Philadel-
phia, and Miss Lois Moyes of Toronto,
Ont. defeating Mrs. o. D. Oliphant of

Wildey.
The most interesting match in the dou-
bles was the one played Immediately in
front of the clubhouse, in which Mrs. A.
J. Drexel Paul and her sister, Miss Bid
die. defeated Miss Cassell of New York,
and Miss N. Ostheimer. Losing the first
set, 10. Mrs. PAIL and Miss Biddle
played in clever style. and took the next
two after the best exhibition of women's
doubles seen here for some time.
The winners will now meet Miss Mer-
rick and Miss Ross Of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club. who defeated Miss Phipps
and Miss Griscom.
The summary follows:
Women's singles-Miss Edith Rotch,
Boston. defeated Miss E. G. Ostheimer,
Philadelphia. Ga. 60; Miss Lois Moyes.

BOSTON. June 22-First Baseman An
derson of the Flint team of the Southern
Michigan League is one of the players
who may be added to the Nationals list
ere long Herman Schaefer, who has
been on a scouting tour through the VOL
VERNE state, seems to have been very
much impressed with Anderson, and in his
report to Manager McAleer he recon-
mended that the youngster be given
trial
An effort is now being made to ar
range a deal for Anderson, but whether
it will be possible to secure him at this
time of the season is decidedly doubtful.
Manager McAleer was still in the
dumps over yesterdays defeat when seen
this morning. He said it was just one Of
those off days which might be expected
of a team which had spent thirtysiX
hours on a train suffering from the swell
tering heat.
Yes, we are doing a lot of scouting in
the hope of finding the players We need"
said he. with a few additions to the
present team l am satisfied that we could
have a first division team, and that is
what we are striving for. Any young
player who gives promise of developing
can get a chance with us, and We are
willing to spend money for the right kind
of material.
Speaker is still on the hospital list and
will probably be unable to play in the
series. Carrigan is also on the sick LIST

out of the game for a week at least The

surprised. after seeing his wonderfully
well developed body and his healthy look,
that Jeffries decided upon bis well de-
fined plan of preparation
The retired champion evidently does not
underrate this fellow, because as mat
ter of fact Jeffries has laid out and gone
through better and more thorough
course Of training than any man ever did
before preparing for an affair OF this
sort OF course Johnson, like Jehries, is
depending a great deal on his work in the
open air, particularly on the road. john
son told me that he thinks more OF this
part Of his work for beneficial results
than anything he does. l saw him prob
ably four hours after he had hnished ms
twelve-mile jog along the ocean boule-
ward and after he had paid visit to the
city to straighten out some of has numer-
Gus legal entanglements.
He came bustling up in his auto to the
Seal Rock House, situated few hundred
yards from the famous Cliff House, which
is now a new ediflce. having been built
on the site of the old Cliff House which
was destroyed in the big fire.
johnson evidently takes his troubles
lightly. because whatever difficulty he
was having in this direction, he made no
mention Of it to anybody. and went at
his work with an alacrity lat was really

on the road earlier in the day.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-After a
good nights rest after our. long trip over
land we went out to Johnson's camp
early Yesterday afternoon and spent the
rest of the day there. l had already
arranged with johnson to meet me there
at o'clock. Several group photographs
we're taken of Johnson, Billy Delaney,
AL Kaufman, Bob Deadly and severai
others, including myself. After this Or
deal had a talk with Johnson and asked
him how he felt. He told me he never
felt better, and complimented me on my
looks. Delaney suggested That we ao-
1ourn to the gymnasium. We went into
Johnson's room first. saw him strip, and
prepare for the general routine of work
that he has been doing for the past
couple of weeks. We then went into the
gymnasium and saw johnson punch the
bag for fifteen minutes or Whereabouts.
He gave a clever exhibition and wound
I'D by knocking the ball from its fasten-
ings out into the hall.
After this he donned the gloves for a
four-round set-to with AL Kaufman:
giving a fair display of his prowess, and
after finishing with Kaufman he spared
four rounds with George Cotton, which
consisted chiefly of roughing and cIlncn-
ing one another backward and FORWARD
around the ring, evidently to test his
to test the strength of his arms.
While. of course, the training stunts
were nothing new to me to look at, as l
have many times gone through similar
work. as far as the looks and the appar-
emit condition of Johnson go. it could be
counted as of a frst-class order. Gym
nasium exercises are no criterion to go
by or to show the real condition an ath-
lete may be in.

The secret of the thing is to get away
with 1t without the umpire seeing, which
isn't SO difficult as it may sound.
To turn the trick the catcher crowds
the plate as close as tine position Of the
batter will permit. It's particularly good
when the bases are cluttered and there
are two strikes on the batter.
AS the batsman starts his swing the
catcher tips the bat with the back of
his mitt. Sounds simple. doesn't it? But
really it isn't. so Mack says. and he
ought to know.

Connie Mack. according to ancient his
tory. is the man who originated the
trick of a catcher tipping the bat OF an
opposing player on the third strike It's
a mighty clever little stunt. which isn't
allowed by the rules of base ball, but
II helps win games frequently.
Mack sprung the trick the first time
when he was playing with Pittsburg,
years ago. In those days Connie was
about the niftiest catcher in the game.
