Selecting a girl partner for a doubles

not only desire girl who plays ap-
proxfmately as well as you do, but also
one with fairly compatible temper
ament. Nothing is more disagreeable
than to pair, with a girl who Is con-

ed by four players arranged two on
each side of the net; it is a match be-
tween teams of two players each. One
VIII not get very far in doubles, who
is not content to sink her individuality
and play for the side. Therefore, shun
the girl who is always rushing to make
grand stand plays which probably leave
her out Of position and give the next
point easily to the opponents.
Many players choose a partner be-
cause her game happens to be COM
plement; that is, a girl who is strong
at the net will frequently choose a
good back-court player as a partner
and vice versa This is on the theory
that one girl may look after the net and
the other the back court, but I do not
favor this sort Of a team 1t may give
one girl much more than she can
properly attend to, while the other girl
may be idle.
On the style of play which I best like,
both players are fairly equal and play
the same sort of a game. On service

The award of the protested game in
section A of the post-season amateur
base ball series to Holy Name gives
that team the lead by small margin.

victories and no defeat, and Rosedale
is second with the same number of games
in its won column. but with one defeat
charged against 1.-THE tie which was
protested and awarded to Holy Name.

giles for the cit! championship.

pitcher to be depended upon by the
northeast clubmen. Kelly has proved
the most consistent winner for his
team, and will work mighty hard to
get victory over Holy Name. Holy
Name, too. will put forth its greatest
efforts to wind up the series today.
If it can win the title will be settled.
and Holy Name wants that title. The
game is to be played at 5th street
and Florida avenue northeast. and will
start at Sis o'clock. This is the home
field of the Holy Name circuit.
IT is much to be regretted that the
board of governors of the amateur base
ball commission was compelled to rule
Vernstein of Rosedale Ineligible for
the series inasmuch as he failed to play
in sufficient number of games dur
ing the league season. Particularly is
this true when it was through no inten-
ttonal fault of the Rosedales that this con-
dition happened to exist. The Rosedales
were counting as a game the contest OF
August 8, in which Vernstein started to
pitch, but which was stopped by rain.
Technically Vernstein did not take part
no game and the board of governors
was within its right in declaring it no
game. OF course. if the board of
governors had held that under a free
and liberal construction of the rule
Vernstein was eligible. there would
have been a storm of protest from the
Holy Name team and it's adherents, so
done was just what was done. 1t was
not the construction of the rule from
a standpoint of the spirit of the rule,
because as far as the intent of the Rose
dale club and Vernstein were concerned
the rule was lived up to. The fact that
rain had to come and stop play before it
became legal game could not be helped.

George Green, former physical director
