Mistaken Impression of Game.

1t Is unfair to the great game Of lawn
tennis to take. as criterion OF the
skill of the game or the caliber of Its
players, the novices who frolic on the
public courts twice a year-Memorial
day and Fourth of July. Yet many of
the uninitiated have received their i'm
preston of the game from the perennial
picnic player who scouts around the
house on the morning of the holiday
outing looking for the tennis balls he
served their purpose SO well for. 10,
these many. many Memorial days. that
he shudders to think of the possibility
of their being lost.
And the racket What a rare article
of antiquity the tennis tyro's bat usu
ally Is, A sort of triangular-shape,l
head with gut of -cablelike thickness.
spoon shaped two ways. from the warp
ing of years. with a handle no thicker
than that of broom, and perhaps a
knob on the end. la base ball bat, TO
keep 1t from slipping from the hand at
the finish OF the vicious swipe that, all
too frequently, sends the ball miles be
yond the confines OF the court. This
heirloom had given faithful service to
father or to Uncle Bill. and was care
fully preserved that it might be handed
down to little Willie, who. even at the
early age of fve, had tried 1t out sew
eral times on snowballs. Ma. too was
not to be denied the joys OF swinging
this family racket For years II had
heen an indispensable adjunct TO the
delightful housecleaning period. With
out 1t. carpet and rug beating would
have been a lost art.
This type of player. In the throes of
his annual game of lawn tennis. on
mountainous public park court has
been pictured as the composite tennis
player in the gallery of the minds of
many who have wondered how any man
could engage In any such genteel, So
porific sport. Suppose the hundreds of
thousands of base ball rooters whose
patronage has created the greatest in
dustry within the gates of sportdom
had fromed their impression of the
great national game from the thou
sands Of comical conflicts between
the married and single men at the
at will. depending on wild throw
or mum to start the bunch
throwing the ball around blndly and
thereby permitting them 10 amble
base ball be AZ popular as it is today
II this had been the criterion Of the
fan before he saw the skilled play of
professionals? Decidedly not.
Opinion of Game Changing.
Fortunately for the newly enlighten-
ed, this class which looked on tennis
derisively is rapidly becoming depopu-
lated by the germ of intelligent investi-
cation. This is an age when things
are seldom taken for granted. Indi-

CADILLAC EIGHT SETS
NEW COAST RECORD

Again the Cadinac-this time the
eight cylinder type-has set a new
record for the run from Los Angeles
to San Francisco, according word re-
ceived by the Cadillac Company from
Don Lee, it's California distributor. Mr.
Lee terms this performance the great
est road record ever made anywhere.
By road, the distance from Los
Angeles to San Francisco is 492 miles.
The Cadillac, being driven at night.
The car left Los Angeles at 8 p. m.
June 3, simultaneously with THE
Lark" the fastest train on the South
ern Pacific railroad. which makes its
run between the California metropolis
in 13 hours and IS minutes. The
trains time was beaten by l hour and
35 minutes, the motor car arriving in
San Francisco at $40 m, June 4.
In order to set this new record, 1t
was necessary that the Cadillac main
tain speed great enough to average al
most 40h miles per hour. The perils
of such speed are obvious when 1t is
known that practically the entire dis
tance was made during the darkness
of night, over roads that rise and fall
in the mountains, skirt precipitous
cliffs and abound with sharp and dan
gerous turns. The car was driven by
Baudette and Bramlette, who alter
mated at the wheel, and carried two
other men as passengers.
Almost every year Mr.. Lee sets a
new record for motor car travel be-
tween California's chief cities; and this
record usually stands until a Cadillac
breaks 1t the following year. The car
which has just made this run is the
first Cadillac eight demonstrator sent
to the coast, and had been driven H.
900 miles prior to this drive. 1t car
ried all stock equipment.
