FINDS NEW STROKE
IN P|NG-PONG GAME
Australian Tennis Expert De-
veIops Freak Idea Of Bat
ting Ball.

Ping-pong is responsible for a new
freak stroke developed by W. P. Jones
Of the Australian tennis team, which
competes in this country in June In
the preliminary play to the Davis Cur
matches. Jones got the idea from the
parlor game. and developed It So that II
applied to lawn tennis.
Jones has christened his new delivery
1.-THE twister." 1t is a combination drop
and out-curye, and is used almost en-
tirely in alley play either to draw an
opponent from mid-court for a quick
smashing follow-up. or to make him
fan.
Strange to say. the nav shot is a
by-product Of humble parlor ping-pong
Mr.. Jones watched his puzzling curves
that q ekillful player could produce with
his paddle and little celluloid ball. and
conceived the idea Of a similar short
hold stroke in tennis.
The out-drop is obtained by grasp
ing the racket just below the head and
lofting 1t and at the same time cutting
the ball to right
Good players who rely upon a fast
mid-coUrt game generally avoid all cut
strokes, fnasmuch as slicing slows up
their play.
The twister takes very little speed
from a shot 1t is difficult to return.

Cricketers Prepare
For Coming Games

Capt. Jimmy Rose. of the Washington
Cricket Club, Is anxious to have all
his men In best possible condition for
the games to be played in Philadelphiu
on May 30 and 81. and is putting his
first and second teams through a vigor-
GUS course Of training.
The work Of Denote In last Sum
days opening game at Baltimore
stamps the ex-Haverford College player
as a very effective man in the bowling
crease, while DR.. ]. T. Cannon, who
stood most Of the brunt Of the battle
with the Monumentals is now bowling
better than at any previous season.
John Norton. Henry Branch, A. Goves-
ton, and Will Warren are in excellent
shape. and Captain Rose predicts that
the locals will easily win the intercity
championship this season.
Duncan Morton will probably do most
Of the wicket keeping. as Will Warrpn's
splendid fielding at cover point" this sea-
son will probably keep him in that posi-
tion, except in case OF accident to Nor

behind the sticks
DR. Tom A Williams and Henry
Branch have not yet struck their stride
in batting, but are dependable for long
emashes and boundaries, which they
both are confident viii materialize later

Crocker, and the Roberts brothers are
hot weather players usually, but even
now are showing splendid form in prac-

WESTERN HOLDS MEET
Red and White Athletes En-.
gage in Sports Program at
SatterIee Field Today.
By BRYAN MORSE.

The dates for the high school cham.
pionship track meet and the basebau
games between Western and Eastern
and Central and Business, several times
postponed, will be definitely settled
some time today when the board Of fac
ulty advisers gets together for a con-
ference.
1t was designed to play the double
header on Saturday. but rain knocked
the games out just as IT did the track
meet the week before and all OF the
athletes and followers Of the teams are
up In the air as to the probable selec-
tons of dates.
As soon as it is conveniently possible
the high school faculty advisers hope to
get the games out of the way as 1t u
causdng too much excitement among the
student body of the various schools ana
Interfering too much with work In pre-
paration for the final examinations.
4, The high school drill with its attend
ant activities is out Of the way. and
Il was planned to hold the baseball and
track games SO that the usual routine
of school work could be pursued with
out any distracting influences.
The baseball games may run into
June Ii Western can defeat Eastern
and Business comes through with win
over Central, for then three schools
will be tied up for the title, and the
tie probably will be played OF. The
rules governing high school Baseball
games allow for the play-on Of ties.
while there are no tie games played on
in football contests.
