NATIONAL INDOOR TENNIS
Annual Tournament Starts Today
With Leading Eastern Woman
Experts Entered

NEW YORK. March 13.-Forty lone
players comprising most of the lead
ing experts, are entered in the women's
annual tournament for the national in-
door tennis championship, beginning in
the eth Regiment armory today. Miss
Molla Bjurstedt. the Norwegian girl. is
the present title holder, and is one of
the contestants in the tournament.
Local players regard Miss Marie Way-
ner, the New York state champion, who
won the national indoor title four
years, but lost it to Miss Bjurstedt. as
the chief contender against the Nor
wegian. Among other entrants are Mrs.
Frederick SchmitZ, Miss Gertrude Della
Tore, Miss Alberto Weber and Miss
Florence Balm.
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Wagner are
paired together in the doubles, and are
regarded as one of the strongest wom-
ems teams that ever competed in a
tournament

Miss Eckhardt Registers Highest
Count in Game of Duckpins.

Another high duckpin game-the
best which has yet been made public
has been rolled by one of the girls that
indulge in that form of winter sport.
Miss Edna II. Eckhardt topped all
other figures marked among the wom-
an pin spillers last Saturday night at
the Casino alleys when she knocked
down 100 pins. Miss Eckhardt has
been bowling for consistently high
scores and there is considerable talk
of an attempt to arrange a series of
games between her and Mrs. Vogels-
berger or between her and Mrs. Ise-
man.

that he must not deliberately pitch at

to driving him away from the plate.
Clarence Mitchell. southpaw OBJ

the Herzog forces are training. Mitch

Billy Sullivan. who is. trying to de-
velop Hughey Jennings pitchers. has
made the discovery that Lo.wdermilk
failure to have control is entirely due
to the fact that he does not follow his

makes him wild, and il he finds way

league. because he has sufficient speed
and curves. lacking but the one essen

Sullivan already has earned his sal

to have made a much improved pitcher
out of Boehler. whose faults he has
corrected and who is apt to be a win

er out of Lowdermilll he will have ac-
complished wonders.
Roger Bresnahan is likely to have a
real ball club in Toledo the coming
season. He and Stovall alone will form
a strong combination. as both are ca
pable in their positions and are decid-
edIy competent with the. bat. in addi-
ton Bresnahan has surrounded him

it's games away from home.
Toledo is going to be much I'M
proved ball town under Bresnahan, a
native son who is likely to have a win

i Hans Lobert may have a hard time
getting the third-base job on the
Giants team this year. Shepner and
Hunter, two recruits, are making the
veteran hustle as he has never been
forced to do before and there is, ac-
cording to report, good chance for
one of the youngsters to land the job.
Lobert, who, in his day, was a really
great ball player. has gradually gone
back and has not been the help to Nc
Graw that he expected when he OBJ
tanned him. He may come back, but
his principal trouble appears to be
that he finds it a hard matter to re-
duce and get down to playing weight.
If Frank Bakers batting perform
ances at this time can be taken as a
criterion he is going to be just as
much help to the Yankees as he for
merly was to the Mackmen. But of
course, the pitching he is facing now
adays is not of the caliber that he will
be asked to hit against when the sea-
son opens. though his work during the

Chic Gandil is hitting terrifically for
the Indians down in New Orleans, and
Manager Foil is delighted with the
deal which brought the former Ma

ter fortified at first than the team ever
has been. and that the acquisition of
Gandil will make a big difference in
the showing of the Indians.
In fact, that Cleveland team is not
going to be as easy as many figured,

Chapman and Turner are intent on

OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.
Travers and Ouimet Will Not Play
in National Event.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Now that
Jerry Travers and Francis Ouimet
have announced that they will not play
in the national open championship at
Minikahda, the only two amateurs to
win the open title in twenty-five years
of competition are out of the tourna-
ment, and, if their feats are to be again
duplicated, it must be by some new
star in the golfing armament, or by one
that has shone with lesser rays for the
past years. The winning of the open
championship is the ultimate ambition
of all amateur golfers, and it may be
that the absence of the two former
amateur winners will spur the younger
generation on to greater deeds, but
even with such stumbling blocks as
Travers and Ouimet out of the way,
there is still the presence of Alec and
Macdonald Smith, Gil Nichols. Mike
Brady and a host OF other such players
to contend with.
In almost six decades of British golf
the open championship of Great Britain
has been won by only two amateurs,
once by John Ball. jr., al Prestwick in
1890, once by Harold Hilton at Muir
field in 1892, and again by Hilton at
Hoylake in 1897. But these are names

Hilton was four times the amateur

he visited these shores in 1911 he took

won the amateur championship Of
Great Britain no less than eight times.
distributed over space of twenty-four
years. When such masters as these sue
coed SO seldom. it is almost futile for
our young golfers to make a like at
tempt But it is the futility of the
quest that makes the realization more
glorious: it is the expectation of de-
feat that sweetens the victory. In
leading forlorn hope there is little to
be lost and much to be gained, and
with this in mind Phil Carter, Chick
Evans, Max Marst on. Bob Gardner and
other ambitious amateurs may rise to
such heights that in twenty-three
years America may equal a record that
Britain took half century to accom-
plish-to have the open championship
won three times by amateurs.
