INTERCLUB TENNIS LEAGUE
SHOULD JOIN DISTRICT PLAYERS
Lack of Unity Among Philadelphia Racquet
Men Has Been Great Drawback to
Game in Past
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN. I'D

IN he events of the winter meeting OF the
i 1nterclub Tennis League need some
comment of little different kind from
any yet made. and possibly from just
a little different point OF view.
We would not detract one bit Of praise
from the tnterclub League. 1t is the
standard Of tennis teams In Philadelphia.
II includes such men as Williams, Clothier,
Davis, Johnson, Armstrong, Tilden, Bid
die. Pearson, wister. Dewhurst, Carpen-
ter, the Thayers Evans, Osborne and
many other well-known players. It has
hedped the game greatly around this city.
But let us consider for just one minute
this phase
The largest clubs Of the Interclub
Deague-Meron. Philadelphia. German
town and Huntington Valley--are not
members of the Philadelphia and District
Lawn Tennis Association. Why? Well,
some of the members of these clubs have
said to me that the standard of play
among the clubs OF the other league was
not high enough. Possibly true of some
few, but how can this standard be raised
unless keen competition can be gotten?
The 1nterclub League had already one
Philadelphia and District club--Belfeld-
in II and now it accepts Cynwyd Bel
field has been represented by such men as
Van Horn, willetts, Osborne, Martin and
Savery Cynwyd will put a team in the
field which includes Johnson. Tilden,
Hawk. Osborne, Gibbons and Martin. 1t
hardly looks as IL these teams would hurt
the Interclub. No It is not question Of
tennis play, since 1t would seem that no
harm can be done the larger clubs by
joining. let us ask what good will they
do IL they join the Philadelphia and Dis
trict Association?
The answer is. An enormous amount of
good, due to several things.

Leonard is the latest lightweight SEN
satlon, and he can hit as hard II not
harder than any lightweight in the busl-
ness. He has come forward rapidly and
in three months stepped from the third to
first class.
Benny discovered his knockout wallop
last December, when he was training for
his bout with Joe Mandot. Before that
time, he was a flashy boxer of the Bobby
Reynolds type, using his left most of the
time and his right to protect his jaw.
When he hit with his hand, which was sell
dom, 1t was a sort Of a chop which caused
no damage.
Discovery of Haymaker
Billy Gibson tells the story Of the dis
covery of the haymaker right as follows:
II was watching Benny punching heavy
sandbag in the gymnasium a short time
before the Mandot bout and noticed how
he chopped with his right. This did not
appear natural, SO I said:
Benny, why don't you drop your hand
a little and raise the elbow about an inch
before you shoot your right7'
Benny tried II and almost knocked
the heavy bag off It's rope. He tried It
again and again until the punch was
mastered. 1t took time. however. and
he spent more than an hour each day
just punching with his right
well, when he met Mandot Leonard
was anxious to try his new punch and
couldn't wait until the bout was called.
He acted just like kid with a pair of
new shoes. I had to warn him not to be
too anxious at the start, but I couldn't
hold him in, and in the sixth round he put
him out for keeps.
"If you watch Leonard closely tonight
YOU will see how he tits the right elbow
about an inch before punching, and IL
the blow lands on Robideau's Jaw we
will go home early"

In 1914, proved bitter disappointment
last season, the cause of which was
mystery until Mack discovered that the
Rube was rapidly gaining weight during
tho hottest part of ths summer.
Heavy meats at midday are Injurious
to athletes who must compete in the aft
ernoon. and Mack realized that this was
Bressler's trouble. This season Bresser
will be on a diet and Mack looks for him
TO return TO his 1914 form. Bresslers
confidence was slipping away from him at
the close of last season because of the
roasting" from the bleachers, but he is
full Of ginger and is optimistic, though no
does admit he will miss his meals.

First, the prestige which these clubs
have is unquestioned. The names alone
would add strength to the association.
Second, the best tennis players of Phila-
delphia are their members When Phila-
delphia as a city is to be represented In
match under the Philadelphia and District
Association today It is hard to get a
representative team. IL is impossible with
out going outside the association. II these
clubs were in we could always get an ex-
cellent showing OF prominent men.
Third the friction which has existed
in the past between the two organizations
would be wiped out. The influence Of
these big clubs would be even greater
as members of this organization, which is
anxious to welcome them than as inde-
pendent units.
II the lnterclub is willing TO accept as
its members clubs of the Philadelphia and
District Association, why are the members
OF the Interclub not willing to join the
other body7 We hope that they will.
The change in dates from May to July
for the interclub matches will probably
work in two ways. II will almost unques-
tlonably give us the services OF several
men who otherwise could not compete.

about the harm which will result from

Longwood usually comes during July. This
will. OF course, take several of our best
men from one week of the matches.
The Norristown tournament, which is
also played the second or third week In
July, will also conflict One or the other.
the tournament or the Interclub matches,
must suffer, since Norrlstown depends on
It's Philadelphia entries for its success. .
There Is still the phase of the Junior
Interclub totake UP and consider. but IL Is
of such Importance that 1t will be re-
viewed in later article.
