Famous British Lawn
Tennis Player Is Dead


LONDON. March lS.-News has been
received that Kenneth Powell. the IA
nous lawn tennis player and hurdler,
who was serving with the Honorable
Artillery Company at the front, has
been killed in action.
Powell first gained fame as an ath-
lete when he was at Cambridge Univer-
sity. In 1907 in the intervarsity match
he won the hurdles in the record time
OF Is 3-5 seconds. Afterward nc rep
resented England in the Olympic
games. He captained the Cambridge
Lawn Tennis Club for two years, and
in 1906 and 1877 defeated the three OK
ford representatives. in the singles.
Powell was prominent and popu-
lar performer at Wimbledon His best
feats there, perhaps. were his defeat t
OF the American player, K. Collins. in
1906. and of c. p. Dixon the Davis Cup
PLAYER in 1918. His victory over NJ. j.
&. Ritchie at Queens Club for the Lon
don singles championship in 1903 is we'll

1s.-Just how good are the re-
cruits here with the Griffmen is
probably interesting you Washing
ton fans more than anything else
just now. You all know that Griff
has fallen down three years in a
row for want of some intangible
quality that goes to make a cham
pionship ball club in the major
leagues. With the Mackmen shat
tered somewhat, 1915 begins to loom
up as the year when the Griffmen
may have their best opportunity
since the Old Fox took charge of the
Washington club. But he must have
the ball club with which to 60 out
and win the games.
Good fielding, good pitching, and
fair hitting will win a pennant, if
the club has the benefit of the
breaks in luck" The best ball club
in the world cannot win a pennant
without these same breaks" While
discussing luck, it might be we'll to
add that fair club, provided with
the luck, can win out against bet
ter but an unluckier club in a six
months campaign.
There is no telling just what the luck
OF the Griffmen of 1915 will be. but it
Is possible to dope out the rest Of It.,
the fielding, the batting. and the pitch
ing. 1t is difficult to see just where the
Washington club will be much stronger
this year than last, except in the box.

world beater with the willow, nor a
lightning marvel in the field.
