Chicago, July 23.-The tennis stars
of Australasia and the Dominion Of
Canada, wound up their practice yes
terday for the first class of their match
in the Davis cup preliminaries, which
takes place today on the courts of the
Onwentsia club at Lake Forest. Two
single matches are on the program,
with the contest in doubles slated for,
Friday and he final events in singles
on Saturday. Tonight found the
~Antipodeans still favorites and the
weather less favorable than expected
from the viewpoint Of the Canadians.
The winners of the match will meet
the German team on the Allegheny
clubs courts in a contest o the
privilege of playing the British team
in the final round.
The capacity of the stands which
the Onwentsia club had erected sur
rounding the championship courts UNI
doubtedly will be taxed by the specta-
tors. 1t is likely. judging from the
seat sale, that more than 1000 persons
will witness the first meeting today,
and ifsmore can be accommodated,
even larger crowds will see the games
on Friday and Saturday. The Illinois
state tournament, which ended Tues
day, and the approach OF the western
championships have brought many
out Of town tennis players and fol-
lowers, all of whom will try to watch
the games. Chicago Canadians have
made plans to attend.

you pin q fin on him.
But there's a sadder age, friends.
The bonehead age. I sometimes think
a few players are born in the bone
head g n die there. When you
get them on first, you've got to tie a
rope to them and lead them all around
the circuit. Some of them'u stand UP
and tell you it's illegal to throw to
first when there's a mar on second.
And when a mans kicking up the dust
between third and home for a tally,
they think they've got to throw to
first, secon and third before they can
try to get him at home. Oh, it's a
sweet little age, kids.
Then last of all-the dead-head age.
I'm not thinking of the guy who finds
it easier to run up a bill than pay one,
but the baseball performer who begins
to feel his toes slipping. When h
lights out from the plate, he has to
stop half way to first to twist a joint
back in its socket so he can continue.
Then he begins to think OF becoming
an umpire, and takes out a dozen or
so accident policies. He stands behind
the catcher for a few years and guesses
at the stuff that comes across. He
hears that he's a robber, a rotten dub,
a no good stiff. Then he hikes to a
ball players home, the hot springs or
some other resort and passes out of no.

come rumbling out of the bushes,
brush the alfalfa from your ten-dol-
lar-hand-me-dOWn cOver-all and hike
for the spring training camp in charge
of a bunch of major league players,
who make you their playthtng. While
not doing fool things to coax a wee
smile across their mugs, you are WORK
ing your toes off to make the old man
think you can play ball. Then you go
back to the farm for another year or
two, after which you break forth as a
regular bench warmer.
Then comes the big head age. Do
you know what hat means? Of course
you do, you NUTS. Every new one
thinks the grand stand was made for
his special benefit, and he keeps his

for these guys to get a hit Is to wait
until some dark night and let the ball

AHA, here we are right up against
the family-head age. A ball player
occasionally gets a short-circuit or

then he nurses the idea that he'd like
to draft a female manager, and pro-

a poker table and actually becomes

wee recruit comes along and then he

that he has a daughter, he trOts around
the club house telling what a Connie

Threw Chair At
Wife Who Wanted
OFFICE FOR HIM

Leon skipslSi was before City Court
today charged with threatening bodily
harm 10 his wife, Frances skipslSi. The
couple have been married twelve years
and live at No. le South Harrison street.
Mrs. skipski said her husband threw a
chair and beer bottle at her on Sat
urday and called her foul names.
For the defence Skipski testified that
on Saturday they passed uncompliment-
arv remarks and she threw shoe and
spoon at him. Skpski also said his
wife was a politician and that she
wanted him TO run for sheriff. slSipski
denied throwing a chair at his wife ana
did moi threaten her. She has had him
larrested seven times, he said.
The court said the wife seemed TO be
very indicative. The parties have
never separated. Judge Churchman said
"Sticks and stones may break your
bones but words cannot hurt you much"
Then Judge Churchman dismissed the
case.
