INTERESTING TENNIS TODAY,
Results Of Matches May Change
Standing in Washington Bodv.

In the schedule of the Washington
Tennis Association the Columbia Coun-
try Club and Dumbarton Club teams
clash today in what should prove to be
one of the most interesting battles in
the history of the organization. Dunn
barton now leads the association, but
its lead is not so large that a Columbia
victory today would not topple the
leaders from first place. Both teams
will put their best men in the field, al
though 1t is thought that the team from
the Country Club will be without the
services of Henry c. Breck, ranked as
ono Of the best local players and form
ing with c. B. Doyle the best doubles
pair in this section. The absence of a
player like Breck puts quito a hole in
the chances of the Columbia players. as
Dunn barton will get all its best men to
the courts. Douglas Hillyer. playing at
NO. for the Wisconsin avenue team. Is
expected to give Connie Doyle a good
battle in the singles. although he is
hardly conceded a chance to beat the
Middle Atlantic champion.
In the doubles the team of Chapman
and Doyle has shown in previous
matches that there are few pairs in
the District capable of taking its meas
ure and great fight is expected when
this combination opposes the Dunbar
ton pair of Douglas Hillyer and Gould
Lincoln.
Over at Chevy Chase the Department
tai League will play the home team in
a battle which will decide the holder
of the third place in the standings this
evening. Two months ago the players
from the circuit bossed by Uncle Sam
defeated the Columbia team and
month later the Chevy Chase team ac-
complished the same result. while both
have been defeated by Dumbarton.
Chevy Chase is likely to be without
Dudley Morgan playing at No l and
this will be a large handicap. as he is
usually counted to win a majority of
his matches with any local player.

President Henry Berry Of the San
Francisco club pays Ping Bodie some
compliment. He said he would not
stand in the way OF Ping going to the
majors next year, but that he would
refuse trade for him, because there
wasn't player or two players in til,
majors who could be waived out that
would run one-two with Ping. Mr.
Berry evidently means to intimate that
only cash will land Mr.. Bodie. What
sum the st. Louis Cardinals have or
fered is not stated.
Tom Reilly, the "youngster" drafted
by Brooklyn from New Orleans last
fall, but who candidly informed the
Brooklyn club that 1t had made a mis-
take, as he had no chance to make
good in major league ball, and there
fore would not report, has, by Brook
lyn's consent, Joined the Atlanta team.
He has been engaged in business In
New Orleans, but the Atlanta offer was
so fattering and the clubs need OF .
sho-tstop 30 apparent that he consented
to don . uniform again.

No. 7-Tennis Strokes.

Tennis strokes are roughly divided into
ground strokes and volleys. In the first
class the ball is taken after 1t has hit the
ground and in the second class before it
touches the ground.
Women will do well to learn their
ground strokes thoroughly. Personally I
seldom volley.
The principal ground strokes are the
forehand and the backhand drives: there
are also various drives which spin the
ball sideways or in the direction Of the
flight, and tho Chop strokes, which give
a reverse spin. All Of these strokes will
be considered in detail in later articles;
I am now concerned only with general
principles.
Direction and pace are the important
features Of every stroke, and II you would
attain both direction and pace take all
possible time in the execution Of a stroke.
Do not hit the ball until 1t has almost
passed you; then your stroke comes at
you stretch forward for the ball it is
clear that you will lose all the effect of
your weight and use only a fraction Of
your arm strength. This simple matter
Is neglected by many players and they
wonder why the better players put so
much force into a return without appar-
ent exertion.
Getting into the proper position is a
matter of feet; one plays tennis with the
feet as much as with the arms. If you
cannot quickly move into position you
will never be a tennis player. Most
clever tennis players are also good dane
ers.
Every drive must have a follow
through'-the stroke must be a complete
swing in which the hitting of the ball
is only an incident. Your racquet should
traverse long arc.
The follow through" does not of itself
influence the ball at all; the ball and the
racquet are in contact for the merest
fraction of a second. but a good following
through insures a properly started stroke
carried to its proper completion. A stroke
is a swinging hit and not a sharp tab;
the follow through" insures the swing
and 1t is used by every good player.
Hit the ball as 1t Is rising from the
ground: do not wait until it is descend
Ing. This is not easy. especially when
the caution to take ones time is remem-
bered. but 1t i. a matter of practice: TAX
ing ones time Is q comparative statement.
Begin by hitting the ball at the very top
Of the bounce and gradually attempt the
stroke before the crest is attained. 1t
is surprising how quickly one returns by
not waiting for the ball to come down. 1t
is style that pays.

CURED In the Tigers half of the first
inning Yesterday. Bush hit what
Acosta stationed himself to get the
bound. but the field is so hard that the
ball bounded far over his head. and he
had to retrieve the ball almost from
, who whipped to the plate in time to
nail Bush, but as John Henry hit the
sliding Bush with the ball 1T was
knocked from his hand. Charity was
picked up the ball and touched Bush
before he could crawl to the plate. This
was anther instance OF how 1t pays to
back up all plays. Charity always is
behind the catcher whenever it is ap-
parent there will be play at the plate
Jean Dubuc has played havoc with
the Griffmen in this series. He finished
each OF the first two games and today
held the Nationals scoreless for nine
innings, though he was hit safely seven
times. Dubuc does not usually fare
well against the other clubs of the cir
ters interesting for the Grinmen this
trip.
The Tigers are slated to play a dou-
ble-header with the Boston Red Sox to-
day. and Jennings is in the hope Of
giving the worlds champions a severe
setback during the six games they are
to play here. Willie Mitchell and Cove
leskie are slated to do the pitching
today. and as both are left-handers and
the Sox do not take kindly to them
there is hope of the Tigers winning a
dual matinee.
Cobb was the only Tiger who at
tempted to steal, and he was thrown
out when he overslid the bag in the
sixth inning. Henry's throw being well
handled by Mcbride.
Merito Acosta had a busy time in left
field. having nine chnces. several Of
which he had to cover lot of ground
to reach. He got a hit the first time
up and hit the ball hard on every oc-
casion. Two of the sacrifice flies which
helped to score the Tigers three runs
were hit into Acosta's territory, but
he was too far from the plate to get
the runners at the plate by a direct
throw.
In view OF the fact that Maurice
Craft drew only 800 per month from
tho Norfolk club. Manager Griffith did
not have much trouble in coming to
terms with him. He signed him to q
contract after the game today and
Craft now Is a regular member Of the

going strong. The last reports from
the front give his position at .3S3.
Next comes Joe Jackson of the White
Sox. Joe's general offensive is 1852.
Right behind Joe is Ty Cobb. who is
hitting it up at $50 gait.
1t doesn't seem natural to find the
terrible Ty of the Tigers trailing
anybody in the batting business. Ty
has led the league for so long that he
looks as strange in third place as Matty
does in his new Cincinnati uniform.
Evening star., 1916-07-29

Many people are worried. However. the
past would prove that there is no cause
for alarm on the part of Cobbs ad-
mirers. Ty has been farther behind
than he is now at the same time of the
season and won out easily. He has
that habit of doing a thing a little
better than anybody else.
On the other hand, Cobb has led the
league for the last nine years. The
nearest approach to this record is that
of Honus Wagner. who led his league
eight times. Such great sluggers as

iris finished the season with an aver
age of .3S3. 1t looks as though Cobb
will have to hit 'em faster and safer if
he expects to satisfy his ambition of
leading the mob ten years in succession.
Then there is Jackson. who is un-
lucky. The highest point of the bat
ting averages seems to be vanishing
point for Joe. No matter how high the
shoeless one goes. Ty always goes him
one or two better. In 1911 Jackson hit
.40S, but Ty hit .420. In 1912 he hit
.395, and Cobb hit 41O
