HAS TAKEN COAST STYLE
Throckmorton, Now Tennis Star,
Has Patterned After Califor-
mans With Success.

Harold A Throckmorton of Railway
n. j., the winner of the Maryland state
championship and of the recent Chevy
Chase tourney, seems to have inn
pressed the New York tennis critics
Last year he won the interschola site
championship and was runner-up to
Karl Behr in the Middle States cham
pionship. Last winter he spent a few
weeks at Palm Beach and while there
was runner-up to Irving C. Wright of
Boston in the Florida championships
He possesses one of the most pleas
ing styles of any of the youngsters who
have been developed on eastern courts
and has adopted the smashing. dashing
game of the Californians with good
hand was pronounced one of the finest
which has been seen on local courts.
not being the ordinary. rather ineffect-
ual undercut stroke, but a fast drive
which is very accurate and modelled
on the lines of the classic T. r. Pell
shot. He accomplished his remarka BILE
strokes more through perfect timing
than through any great muscular effort
His serve is very severe and proved
great factor in his defeat of the best
man of the District, c. 3. Doyle, In the
semi-flnal of the Chevy Chase tourney
His first ball has not much twist. but
crashes down in the corner of the serv-
ice court usually on the strikers back
hand, while his second ball is hit with
a sharp upward snap of the body and
has a great deal of spin and break. He
is very active and covers the court
with great speed J. Upshur Moorhead,
one of the crack Chevy Chase players,
was within a point of defeating him in
the first round of the tourney, but on
what seemed to the onlookers to be
the last point Throckmorton jumped
high in the air and smashed a lob at
Moorheads feet. and after this decisive
point was over the New Jersey boy
was never in danger. winning the next
three games and the set.
At Sleepy Hollow recently he defeat
ed the great southpaw, r. Lindley Muir
ray. but succumbed before the well
balanced game of the latter in the semi
final of the Nassau invitation tourney
last week.
Last year he was placed in the second
ten. but from the way he has begun the
present season he bids fair to replace
one of the immortal first ten. Perhaps
his weakest stroke is the attempted
stop-volley, which is very effective
on grass courts, but is not SO useful on
clay. Last year he vas apt, after piling
up what should have been a safe lead,
to take things easy and to allow his
opponent to creep up and ofttimes to
beat him. But this year he Is taking no
chances.

agree that long climb up hill will

The former open champion. J. ]. Nc
Dermott. was a great believer in the
conservation of energy on the golf
lnks. If there was short path to his
ball he would always take it. He never

he waste any energies in hill climbing

powers at their best, and his success
was not in spite of these efforts. With
him it was conscious thing as he has
told me more than once. and he often
had many a quiet smile as he saw
others of his profession wasting their
strength in needless walking.
Another point: A golfer takes ap-

tional swings which many golfers take
In the course of play may be the cause
of poor judgment of distance or

suppose that care in this way will
make for better golf.
Follow the paths and the easy walks;
do not walk back and forth on the put
ting green to no purpose; do not wade
through deep grass when there is
better way; do not put strain upon
the eyes, especially upon day when
the sun shines brightly. by taking too

shade much as possible. These are
a few bits of advice which will help the
golfers. old and young, strong and

a period of competition. In golf a

Tennis for Girls.

From st. Nicholas
MANY girls imagine that tennis is a
very easy game. and that 1t consists
in popping a bali over a net which
divides a carefully marked stretch
of grass. dirt. or clay. Get rid OF this
notion at once; the net and stretch
of land are all right, but the popping
Of the bali is all wrong Every ball
in tennis should be hit, and hit as hard
as your strength will let you; and In
addition to being hit the ball should
be hit to a definite place in the oppos-
ing court. There is no hit-or-miss
about tennis
Hitting the ball sounds simple; but
there is a right way and a wrong way
to hit it. In the wrong way you use
unnecessary strength and trouble and
probably do not achieve the result
that you are after; in the right way
you use comparatively little strength,
while you gain speed and also control
the flight of the ball. Style in tennis
Is hitting the ball in the right way.
Sometimes one imagines that style
means the fancy way of executing a
stroke; on the contrary. style IL that
method of execution which, as ex-
perience has taught US, uses up the
least physical strength and gains the
most accurate results.
You would not disregard the instruc-
lions about finger movements when you
learn to play the piano; and you can
no more learn to play tennis while dis
regarding the proper movements than
you can play the piano without the
preliminary finger exercises. You will
enjoy tennis far more II you play 1t
well than II you play 1t poorly. There

you can improve your game by expert
ence and have a deal more fun than II
you continue foundering about the
court merely for the want of a little
preliminary training. Style Is not only
for the girl who hopes to win national
titles-it is for every one who hopes
to have a good time In tennis. And

fun Ia to be had.

breads Result Of Stroke.

The average golfer. I believe. misses
one-third of the shots which are sliced,
hooked. topped or otherwise knocked
astray because he Is thinking at the
time he hits the ball of the probable
outcome of the stroke, and sees either
the success or the failure of former
trial The average beginner will say
when the shot is missed. Did / move
my head, or did l pull across the ball.
or did I let go with my right hand?"
thus giving evidence of having had in
mind all the faults which were mem
toned just after the stroke had been
attempted.
There is. Of course. more need for the
player who has not been at the game
long to be bothered by the mental side
of golf: / believe. however, that the
player who has been at the game for
nine or ten years can save himself
three or four strokes a round at the
very least IL he will but labor to get
himself in the right frame of mind be-
fore each shot is made. We recognize
the fact that the golfer who gets angry
rarely wins his match. We know, too,
that the golfer who is wont to converse
with great freedom during a stirring
contest does not get the results which
he Graves. and 1t is also true that worry
or nervousness of any sort gives to the
golfer no mental balance which will
communicate itself to the tips of his
fingers when striving to run down A

The spirit of determination, which is

They work under a smaller cash ap-
preparation than any other crew and
get less men out. They need an awak-

a man like Wright to build up a plan

Intramural rowing from boathouse
which will accommodate more than half
a dozen Fights is the remedy. and with
out it they cannot hope for better crews
than have been their portion.

Is Setback to Sport.

The fun of college rowing received a
setback when this eight came into be-
Ing, and there is no present-day remedy
to help it At that. Syracuse has done
no more in rowing than have the other
colleges in their other major sports.
But it is the single major intercollegiate
sport which has no moot points as to
the men participating.
What Yale will do is a question. Nick
alls has produced winners in the past.
and it is not fair to judge man by
one years record. They will probably
retain him. Yet they may do anything,
for this defeat, so absolutely over
whelming, is calling to Yale men Where
to turn is a question. They have thought
of both Ten Eyck and Jim Rice in former
years, but both these men have been
under contract
In fact. the Rice situation is an odd
one. Rice seems to want to leave Co
lumbia, judging by his remarks. In his
nine years as coach he has produced
but one winning eight. yet he is under
contract to 1921 at a salary above the
average paid winning coaches Column
bia men have backed him and worked
for him. Rice knows rowing-that is,

Advantage of Syracuse.

The question about the Syracuse crew
is whether it is quite fair that college
Fights should be given such an advan-
tage as Syracuse possessed in having
the four Duluth boys who had gained
much rowing experience in the boat
club there. The victory at Poughkeepsie
was cut and dried and received without
enthusiasm. If Syracuse rows the next
two years it seems as sure to win, for
no eight made up of raw material can
hope to cope with it. 1t Is a question
so perplexing that the board of stew
ards do not know what to do about it.
The rule barring club oarsmen from
freshmen crews has not hit the spot
Neither is it fair to bar a student from
intercollegiate rowing who has happened
to row a club boat. The situation is
an enigma. - 49,
AS to the relative merits of Harvard
and Syracuse there can be little ques-
ton. One crew coach. a man who has
produced many winning college Fights.
said after the Harvard victory Friday
that Syracuse could have gone the four
miles at Poughkeepsie at a 34-strolse
and had enough left for a great finish.
1t is believed by many to be the best
eight that has ever represented col
lege. There is no reason it should not
be. Herrick of Harvard, Nickalls of Yale,
Wright of Pennsylvania. Rice of Columbia
and any number of coaches could have
won hands down with it.
