PHIL PAYNTAR IS
SCHLAFLY'S IMAGE
Tiger Recruit Dead Ringer, in
Appearance, for Present Man
ager of Buffalo Feds.
YOUNGSTER HAS NERVE
tErOm Stan Correspondent of the New
ark Evening StarD

lFrOm Stan Correspondent of the New
ark Evening Star.)
MACON,Ga., March 19-Phll Payn-
tar, recruit third baseman OF the
Newark Tigers, is in many ways a
dead ringer for Larry Schlahy, ex-
Tiger and present manager of the
Buffalo Feds. In fact, if Larry ran
across this youngster he would prob
ably stop and stare for a moment or
two, for, as Payntar appears today
In his youth, Schlafy must have
been some ten years ago. In his
actions, his talk and his general
makeup, Payntar has all of Larry's
characteristics He has the square
slightly protruding jaw that shows
pugnacious aggressiyeness: a sar-
castle CLEAN of the eye that cuts
into the heart of an opponent when
he gives a tongue lashing, and he
also has Larrys spirit of nobody has
anything on me-"
. Payntar Is perhaps the most YER
dant of the Bengal recruits, and
some of them are real raw. Dion,
for instance, has never seen a big
league game, nor any kind of a con-
test in the faster minors.
Phil Had the Confidence.
On his first day in camp, Payntar
looked over the regulars, scrutiniZed
the yannigans with whom he had to
compete for the job at third base
or utility infielder, and then serenely
announced that he had them all
beaten, according to some who over
heard his remarks. Payntar de-
clared that he had 1t on Eddie Zim-
norman, inaSmuch as Ed. batted only
4.270 last year, While Payntar slugged
over 400 in the Long Island League,
while he wore an Elmhurst uniform,
this naturally put the recruit in bad
with the regulars to a certain ex-
tent, for a veteran ballplayer de-
spises a fresh busher and Payntar
had not even bush league experience.
Since then, however, he has attended
strictly to his knitting, and the boys
rather like him for his nerve. y
Is Promising Player.
Payntar has hit well against fast
ball pitching, but some of the fellows
say he will not be able to meet the
benders as we'll as he does the
straight, speedy ones. Anyhow, Payn-
tar is a promising ballplayer for flu
ture years, though he needs more eX-
perience and polish before he can
take Eddie Zimmerman's job away
from him. Hitting 400 in a semi pro
league is vastly different from sting
ing .270 in a Glass IA organization,
where the pitchers get to know a
mans like and dislikes after his first
year in the circuit. Eddie thinner
man could go in the American Asso
citation and hit over 300. Therefore,
ITd dooaryae all fha credit in thp
world for singing as well as he did
last season, for such hitting, coupled
with the fielding game Eddie plays,
makes him a crackerjaek third sack
er. In the semi-pro, a batter may
face the same pitcher in one game
and the other fellows, even if they
knew enough to ferret out his weak
ness, would not have time to put it
into practical use.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-"The
most wonderful court tennis match I
have ever seen, and I do not think
any player that ever lived could have
beaten Jay Gould in the form he
displayed against Covey," was the
tribute paid by the Duke of Man
chester last night. after Gould had
wrested the worlds open champion
ship from the English professional.
ut is now my dearest wish that
can match my professional, Punch
Fairs, from whom Convey won his
title, against MIR. Gould for the
worlds championship he now holds"
added the duke. "Of course, Covey
has the first chance to challenge Mr.
Gould, but it is my hope to be able
to get Covey to consent to n match
with Fairs within the next six
months, then If Fairs wins, as | am
sure he would, Mr.. Gould, l believe,
would be willing to give Fairs a
chance at his title"

Americans Play in Second

FIRST WIN FOR AMATEUR

PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-Jay
Gould, American amateur champion,
by winning the open championship
of the world yesterday from George
+. Convey, of England. the profess
sional title-holder, proved himself the
best court tennis player who ever
lived, according to experts who
viewed the match. His service yes
terday was equally as strong as on
the first day and he displayed even
better head work, finding more flaws
In the defense and attack of his Eng
fish rival. His foreplay was error
less. He played ground strokes with
few misses, seldom drove into the
net and had the same knack of divin-
ing where his opponent would return
the ball as in the early stages of the
match.
The English champion proved, ex-
perts say, that he is a great player.
mechanically. with few weaknesses in
physical play, barring an inability to
play backhand strokes In the service
court with regularity, and instead of
being master of his own play he was
forced to play the game that Gould
wanted.
The victory of the American marks
the first time that an amateur has
ever beaten a professional court ten
mis- player for title. 1t also meant
the second worlds championship
brought to this country from Great
Britain by Racquet Club men within
a year. Jock Soutar having won the

Cartoonistsshave often depleted the
country village youth who has gone
forth into the big leagues, drawn the
applause of the big city baseball fans
in the summer, and then hiked back
to his home and was in full focus of
the limelight of the farmers who
gathered about the general store of
an evening and talk of home runs,
strikeouts and world series.
Humorous stories have been writ

Old Scene Acted.
The photographers of newspapers,
wits and stage comedians have often
poked fun at Philadelphia as being a
sleepy burg, and compared the city as
taking second place to little isolated
hamlet. Perhaps they are not so far
wrong at that, for the same scene Is
enacted almost daily during the win

that barber shop door. on, no, JACK

stories of tight games, when one run
