EXPERIENCED PLAYERS
ARE HELPING YOUNG
WIELDERS OF RACKET
Junior Clay Court Tennis at
Cynwyd Fostered by the
Older Devotees of
Pastime
UMPIRES FOR MATCHES

The unselfsh devotion to the interests
of lawn tennis on the part of a group OF
local players alone made possible the
first Junior clay court championship or
Philadelphia, which is in progress OH the
courts at the Cynwyd Club.
Therein do the tennis players OF this
city differ from the golfers. The junior
golf championship of Philadelphia has
been a fixture on the local golf associa-
tons calendar for the last two years, yet
the only golfers who have evidenced any
interest in the event are the association
officials, who have unselishly given or
their time and energy toward the success
of the tourney
The local players who fostered the Ed
ward Box Trophy tournament are not the
only ones who are interested In the event
at Cynwyd. Yesterday. both morning and
afternoon many older players were on
hand to offer advice and encouragement
to the youngsters. Every match had an
umpire, and after they were concluded
II was not unusual for the umpire to have
both players under his wing, giving them
valuable hints as to the proper method
of making a particular stroke

was the official in charge. Today DR. P.
b. Hawk, of Merton. the man who sug-
gested the holding of the national clay
court championship, is boss. The officials
for the rest Of the week are Joseph M.
jennings, of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, who so successfully ran the wom-
ems national championship last May; A.
A. Capelle, Wilmington Country Club;
Paul w. Gibbons, Woodbury., and C. N
Beard, Cynwyd.
II is unusual, TO say the least, to see
a youngster of years playing In a tennis
tournament But Stuart Valentine
member of the famous cricket family Of
that name, played yesterday. Further
more, he showed variety of strokes and
ease of execution that marked him as a
conner

EPPA RKEY PICKED
TO PITCH OMEGA
AGAINST THE CUBS
Moran Expects to Make 1t Four
Out of Five From Chicago
Team, Which Appears
Demorolized
LOCALS HAVE GOOD LEAD

The Phillies' confidence continues to
grow. and it would be no great surprise
II Manager Moran would forget himself
one of these days in the near future and
admit that the Phils look good for a
pennant Three victories out of four
games played with the Cubs. while the
pesky Reds were trouncing Brooklyn two
out of three. has given the Phillies a
lead of two and a half games on the
Dodgers, with prospects of increasing 1t.
II Eppa Rixey runs true to form today,
the Cubs will be beaten again. as Bresna-
hans team is in badly demoralized con-
dition at the present time. Rixey has
always been effective against Chicago.
and his two defeats at the hands of the
Cubs this season have been due to light
hitting by the Phils. as the big southpaw
twirled great ball in each contest.
With the Phillies showing a great i'm
provement In batting there is every rea-
son to believe that they will manage to
gather three runs this afternoon, which
should be nearly enough TO win II RiNey
is In his usual form.
Manager Bresnahan intends TO use
Jimmy Lavender against the leaders this
afternoon, and Jimmy will have to be
better than he generally is against Mora's
men TO get away with a victory In the
past Lavender has been batted hard by
the Phils, and with the team hitting
Moran looks for another victory.
The Phillies are looking forward TO the
series with the Reds, who have been
going at dizzy clip for more than two
weeks. and Alexander the Great will be
saved for the opening game OF Wednes-
days double-header, while Al Demaree
will be used in the second game accord
ing to Manager Moran's present plans.
The Phils feel that they must trounce the
Reds to increase their lead, while Il is
certain that Herzogs men will fight the
Phils to the finish. as they are looking
forward TO a finish In the first division.

How Warships Communicate.

Every battleship at sea has its wire
less installation adjusted so that it can
send and receive signals and messages
to other squadrons at sea or In harbor
and to stations ashore. For the pur-
pose of obtaining information as to the
whereabout OF the enemy and guarding
against surprises wireless telegraphy
is. of course, invaluable, says the Wire
less World. A great number Of cruisers
are sent out ahead and spread num-
Der OF miles across. The duty of these
ships Is TO keep a thorough lookout and
report 20 the ship In the battle feet
looking out on their particular wave
length. This ship In turn reports by
semaphore or Morse lamp to the adj
miral of the battle fleet. The cruisers
are sometimes assisted by torpedo boat
destroyers. Now, IL thirty Of these
ships are used 1t will be readily seen
that the area Of their vision is enor-
nous, and 1t would be almost impos-
sible for a feet to pass unobserved.
Immediately any of the ships sight the
enemy's squadron they would report at
once by wireless, stating the number
of ships sighted. with tSeir speed, lati-
tude and longitude. etc. The admiral
would then give his orders. also by
wireless. Weekly.

A FINE ATTRACTION.

Manager Cone, of the Grand Opera
House, is to be congratulated on the
splendid entertainment afforded our
citizens at the opera house Wednes-
day evening 1.-THE New Henrietta. :"
In the play were five noted stars
known TO all theatre goers of this
country, viz: VIM. H. Crane, Thos.
W. Ross, Maclyn Arbuckle, Amelia
Bingham and Mabel Taliaferro. The
opera house was crowded, showing
that good plays will be patronized By
our people. One usually has to go to
some of the large cities to see such a
fine attraction and added to the ex-
pense of travelling, will have to pay
the same price for seats The play
was greatly enjoyed.
