No. 1.-THE Smash.

A smash is a powerfully executed VOL
ley which you expect to be non-return-
able because of it's speed and place
ment. Every hard-hit ball is not a
smash and every smash is not point
smash to win or to be returned SO
feebly as to give another smashing
chance for score.
1t must be remembered that a smash
is a stroke and not a style of play: it
is such delightful sensation to hit a
bail with all ones might that there is
a temptation to smash everything.
Many points are thrown away by 1usty
smashes which go mile beyond the
court. The safe rule in smashing is
not to attempt more than you can pull
through
When to smash. depends upon the
player and the circumstances; a few
man players can smash any ball. waist
high or better but a girl will do well
to smash only the balls that seem pit
eously to invite killing stroke to put
them out of misery Such balls are the
pops" and the short lobs by player
out of balance and position. As one
progresses in the game, he will find
more and more chances to smash in his
matches with weaker players. but the
better players do not give so many
openings and smashing is pretty well
confined to lobs and fiukes.
1t is essential in order to smash, that
you follow the flight of the ball and
thus get full straight downward
swing into which goes the full weight
of your body; the short lobs make ideal
smashing subjects. There is little dim
Guilty in the smash excepting with the
deem lobs. The smashing of high, deep
lobs requires practice and the stroke is
seldom effective, because good player
will often volley your smash if he has
had time to reach the net.
A smash must be placed; IT is not Just
a crash at the ball. Aim to send the
ball, with terrifice speed. either straight
at your opponent or, better, down a
sideIine or cross court. In general II
should strike deep into the court ana,
being hit straight from above, 1t
bounces very high and at sharp angie.
Put all your strength into smash /;
YOU are after the point on one stroke
and it takes strength to kill

easily defeated Herbert vollmer, also OF
the Mercury Foot organization, for the
metropolitan one-mile swimming cham

Joseph Wheatley. also of the New York
A. c., winner of the event last year,
was third.
This makes the ninth victory in the
ten years that Goodwin has competed
in the event. Considering the nature
of the pool in which the race took place,
GoodWin's time is regarded as good. He
and Vollmer raced almost abreast until
the last lap. when Goodwin. by superior
strength, forged ahead. Vollmer seemed
to know that he was beaten and re-
laxed his efforts.
A fourth entry was Charles Huffman

SEABRIGHT, N. j.. August S.-Ths
Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club
threw open its courts yesterday after
noon for the annual invitation tennis
tournament, one of the most popular fix
lures of the year. and while only one of
the leading players was defeated, several
others travelled uncertain paths which
several times led them to the brink of
disaster.
Harold A. Throckmorton was the most
prominent of those eliminated in the
first round, Hachishiro Mikami of Japan
causing ,he Jersey contestants downfall
in a three-set encounter at Is. 6-3,

But just as interesting as this was the

The Machinists and Bureau will begin
a series of seven games tomorrow for
the championship of the Potomac
League. The former won the honors
for the second half of the season and
the latter. captured the title in the first
part of the schedule. The series should
be one of the best of the year.
At the meeting last night of the am
ateur base ball commission of the Dis
trict the protested game between Steel
Plant and Machinists was awarded to
Machinists, the commission basing its
decision on the fact that the question
able play was simply matter of the
umpire's judgment and should be al
lowed to stand. AS a result, Steel
Plant loses all chance for the Potomac
League pennant.
There will be lot of interest in the
series between Bureau and MachlnlSts.
The opinion seems to be well grounded
that the winner of this series will take
the city championship. There is no way
of forming a definite idea as to which
is the stronger of the clubs. Bureau
seems to have the better of the argu-
ment in pitchers and Machinists appear
to be stronger in several other respects
With the exception of the decision
relative to the MachiniSt-Stee1 Plant
game, not much was done by the anna
teur comm mission last night. The one
thing of Importance was the drawing
of lots to ascertain what teams would
contest in each of the two sections. The
Potomac. Rosedale and Catholic Church
leagues will battle in section A, and
Terminal Railroad Y. NJ. c. A, East
Washington Sunday School and Gov
ernment leagues in section b. Tomor-
row night the board of governors of
the association is to meet to draw up
the schedule and make final plans for
the actual holding of the games. The
contests probably will be divided be-
tween the playing fields of the Poto-
mac, Rosedale and Terminal Y. NJ. c. A.
leagues. These are about the best in
the city. L is possible, though, that
one or two games will take place on
the grounds at 5th street and Florida
avenue northeast, where the Catholic
Church League held forth during it's
season.
Three teams were recognized as win
ners in their respective leagues - the

Philadelphia Athletics placed them
selves in a position to tie Boston's rec

feat was the nineteenth straight loss.
The Athletics had an excellent oppor-

Myers was very good and Coveleskie
bad. One player, however. Haley, put
them out of it in two bad innings.
Two men were walked in the second
and Haley had two wild throws two
runs resulting. In the seventh the first
