TENNIS MASTERY IS
NOT GAINED IN YEAR
Youthful California ChaIIengers
Find Today That Ambitions
Are Checked.

NEWPORT, R. /, Aug. 2I.-That a
complete mastery of the game of ten
mis- cannot be achieved in a year. is
demonstrated today after NJ Z. Nc
LoughIin and r. C. Bundy. national
doubles champions, successfully de-
Tended their title against J. r. Stra-
chan and c. J. Griffin. the challengers
in yesterdays match
The championship pair defeated their
youth 'ul rivals in straight sets Of 6-4.
Is, 81, and even these figures do
not express the margin Of victory al
ways in the hands of the older and
more experienced players.
The Challengers. by virtue Of their
spectacular march through the pre-
liminary rounds Of the doubles earlier
in the season. were expected by many
Of the spectators TO give McLoug HIN
and Bundy a sensa tionaI battle
When they actually crossed racquets
with the champions, however, it was
seen that their play still lacked the
flnesse Of the double masters. They show
ID no fear or Indecision. and played A
strong. steady game. but a game that
oy ing to its immaturity. was not cap
able Of cOnquering the tried and vet
eran pair across the net.
The challengers played their best
game even when they realized that
defeat must be their portion, but
meantime the champions were piIing
UP the points An adequate idea Of
the difference in the play Of the two
pairs may be gained from the fact that
Mclaughlin and Bundy scored SO earn
ed points to q by their younger rivals.
on nets. double faults and outs by
their opponents, the champions gained
II points while giving away 81.

By SENATOR"

I shall have ten trees planted all around
second base and when my base runners
go down, they'll never have to hit the
dirt. By constant practice they II be-
come expert in dodging around those
trees and no other infielders IN the
league will be able to catch them.
The lockwood hedge will also run out
to second base from both directions.
thus keeping all grounders from going
to the outfield. To make hits bats
man will have to shove the pill over
this barrier.
ITO aid the outfielders in chasing flies
and long hits. l shall have a number OF
bicycles scattered around the outfield.
The moment they see a ball about to
go over their heads. all they'll have to
do Is jump upon the nearest bicycle and
hustle after 1t. IN wager we'll never
be started from the first day at the
training camp, too. Wen be experts

Artificial methods for increasing a
teams abilities should be cried down
end Griffs sarcasm explains his feelings
about the means used in many parks
In the big leagues. The American
League should take a decided stand in
this matter at its next meeting. II
should be against the league rules to
build up the ground along the third
base line to keep a ball from rolling
foul. The grass should all be shOrn
close everywhere. No manager should
be allowed to raise his pitching box an
inch higher than the plate, nor should
he be allowed to soak his diamond To
slow up n fast moving opponent All
these artificial methods are against the
true spOrtsmanship that should Charac-
ter'ze Americas greatest game. They
have existed too long and II Is time
that Ban Johnson got busy and did
something for the uplift of the sport
He could do nothing better than to drive
out of this league all these foxy tricks to
gain an advantage over an opponent.

EDDIE MULLANEY IS
LET OUT BY GIANTS
Former Georgetown Catcher Is
Declared a Free Agent BY
Manager McGraW.

NEW YORK. n. Y. Aug. H.-After
being carried along for more than three
months. Eddie Mullaney, former George
town catcher. who has been with the
Giants, is today a free agent, having
been given his unconditional release by
Manager McGraw.
Mullaney has been doing the bulk OF
the warn-up work for some time, but
had 40 chance to break in with Meyers,
" ilson. and Hartley on the job. He
was signed with the Giants at the close
of his career at Georgetown University,
and reported with Dave White. pitch
Ell from Georgetown University.
White was sent to Mobile and was aft
erward shifted to New Orleans, in the
Southern Association. Mullaney is now
q free agent, and can sign where he
wishes. 1t was thought that McGraw
would find q place for the youth, but
this seems to have been overlooked.
The Giants undoubtedly will win the
National League pennant, and all the
surplus material will be gotten rid Of
before the series starts.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 2l.-If Manager Grtf-
fth's ideas are carried out next year.
that is, II Ban Johnson allows them, the
Griffmen will make a worlds record for
bunts. stolen bases and home runs. The
Old Fox, after looking at the Junga-
leers' diamond, has evolved some ideas
of his own. He reasons that II Ty cobb
Is allowed TO grow hay in his front yard
to enable him to beat out bunts and TO
tilt the field to keep the pill from roll
ing out of fair territory, he should be
allowed TO improve upon that idea.
I've got a great idea" smiled Griff
the other night, lighting n cigar and
sticking his feet up about 20 degrees in
II the air You know how Ty Cobb
has arranged his diamond to give him
base hits-well, I'm going TO do better
than that. Next spring l shall have a
whole lot OF prickly pear plants around
the plate. They'll run off toward first
base and third base. In among them
will be alfalfa and cactus bushes. The
alfalfa bushes out on top when 1t grows
I'D about a foot and will be great for
hiding the ball. Then when the other
catcher reaches into the alfalfa for the
ball, he'll get scratched by the cactus
and the prtckly pear!N. So much for
bunts.
Along the first and third base lines,
right on the foul line. l shall have a
lockwood hedge. I'll have this grow
about a foot high and IT ought to keep
any bunt from rolling on into foul
ground.
When my improvements are complet-
ed around second base. Milan and Noel
Iel will lead the world in stolen bases.
