the famous Doherty brothers. The sue
cess they achieved put beyond cavil the
value OF the methods used by them, so
far as their own play was concerned.
The unfortunate thing, so far as the
game is concerned, is that their meth
DDS have not proved of sufficient value
to produce for us from a population Of
100000 a single new champion since
the advent of II. L. Doherty, while Aus
traliasia, with less than an eighth Of
that population, and the enormous
handicap of distance, has in the same
time found two and has established
something in the nature of a lien on
the Davis cup. These are facts that
even unanaIytical persons cannot ex-
plain away or disregard.
"R. f. Doherty was without doubt
one Of the finest lawn tennis players
the game has ever had. His methods
were entirely personal. He justified
them in so far as he was concerned. I
am not aware that he endeavored to
make others copy him; in fact, in the
book published by the brothers they
say they are describing their methods,
but they do not say they are the best

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
TRIO Holds A
UNIQUE RECORD

New York. N. Y, July 20.-"There
have been three men in the history OF
the big leagues" said Bid McPhee, the
old second baseman, 'who stood out
above all others when it came to be-
ing hit by pitched balls. Those three
men were Curtis WEIGH, Hughey Jen-
nings and Frank Chance. They have
never had any rivals, and l don't sup
pose any players are really anxious to
equal the records that they made. The
strangest thing of all, so far as two
Of these men were concerned. was the
fact that they didn't mean it. They
were game all right, but not game
enough to voluntarily run the risk
they seemed to take, and the countless
bruises to help their teams, but be-
cause they couldn't dodge. It's a fact
Hugh Jennings could not dodge a
ball, and Frank Chance cannot duck
one now. AS for Curtis WEIGH he was
different proposition He got hit in
tentionally time after time. and never.
perhaps, without full meaning.
Time after time Hughey was can
nonaded, and, as rule, was bumped
hard. He seemed unable to convey
the sense of danger from his brain and
to his limbs quick enough to spring
aside and on several occasions he
was knocked cold when he knew
the ball was coming, when he was
eager to get out of the way, and sim
ply couldn't make his muscles move
in time.
Frank Chance has been hit in the
head thirty eight times, and stunned
on twenty occasions, while he has re-
ceived innumerable smashes on should
ers, or legs. Chance wants to get
out of the way, but can't. He stands
flatfooted, resting heavily on his pins
when batting, almost Embedding them
in the ground, and he cannot sidestep
or make his feet move in time to save
him. I doubt If he can even dodge
slow ball, his feet move so rebellious-
ly, and yet once on bases, he is a
lightning runner. Curtis WEIGH stood
lightly set upon his feet, and could
spring away from the fastest pitch
ing If he desired. But he didn't de-
sire, and so agile, so snakelike was
he, that he could seem to be grazed
by purest accident every time. He
even developed a way of glancing the
ball off his forearm, apparently dodg-
ing, yet leaving the arm exposed and
letting the bat tick against it,"

The Days TENNIS PLAY

Boston, July 20.-Championship ten
mis- was displayed freely yesterday in
the Longwood singles. Sensational
matches were the order of things, and
several upsets added to the interest.
G. F. Touchard of New York, after
having been on the defensive for the
major part of three sets in his match
with N. w. Miles of Boston, rallied
and won in five sets. T. r. Pell of
New York came within an ace of de-
feating NJ. E. Mclaughlin Of San Fran
cisco.
There were no upsets in the eastern
doubles championship. Clothier and
Larned's team work was a little bet
ter today than yesterday, but the
game of Long and Hardner appeared
to be the more finished and precise.
1t is thought that the latter will meet
Clothier and LarnedN in the semi
finals in the upper division of the draw.

URGES CHANGING
RACKET GRIP

New York, July 20.-Undoubtedly
the most radical tennis critic in the
world at the present time is p. A.
Vale, the Australian. There is not a
feature of the game that he has not
taken a crack at, and while now and
again he has been erratic he has scored
many good pints. Among a host of
flaws which he has picked in the game
this spring one vital one touches on
the method of holding the racket. He
says the present style of grip is wrong
according to the Vale theory, but he
states that when the English players
return to the solid methods of years
ago they will win again. In part, he
says: There can be no doubt that the
success of the Australians, with their
dashing modern methods and natural
strokes, has sounded the death knell
of what is commonly called the Eng
lish school of lawn tennis, but the
plain, unvarnished fact Is that the
methods Of the present English school
are not the English game at all. They
are an injurious fungoid growth of
mushroom development, born a decade
or so ago, and today as dead as dead
may be. for all sensible men now
recognize that the strokes in the al
legged English game are produced by
quite imperfect means when compared
with those of the Australian and
American players.
True English Game.
"The true English game and the
genuine old English strokes are played
to this day in England's dominions over
the seas and in the United States of
America. In these countries players
have refused to handicap. themselves by
following methods, called English, but
which are not today in use by single
player entitled to be called first class
on world form. This is why the vic
tory of the Australians is so important.
1t heralds the return of the genuine,
manly, old English game, with its
forcefuI. sound tactics and its natural
strokes, with the addition of the mod
ern development Of the game, the
American service.
"I must confess that l am very glad
to see the downfall Of what was err
roneously called the English game.
suffered good deal for this fungoid.
One of its characteristics Is that 1t can
be played with unchanged grip Of the
racket. In modern lawn tennis there
are nearly as many grips as violin
player gets on his instrument, although
naturally they are slightly more forci-
bic. Brookes, for instance, has many
different holds on the racket at various
periods and for special strokes. He
varies his length, and the position in
which his hand encircles the handle,
although naturally the main principle
in both forehand and backhand of al
ways having the forearm in line with
the handle at the moment of impact
is closely observed.
Dohertys Were Founders.

of English lawn tennis, which is quite
apart from anything in any other coun-
try. or in this before their regime, were
