courts for practice matches with others who
have met n like fate throughout the tour
nament In addition, he has the opportunity
of witnessing the play in the remaining
rounds of the meeting. II is in this manner
that embryo stars can further their develop
ment much more rapidly than by any other
means.
Then, too, there is another feature, and
n most attractive one, attached to playing
in the tournaments, it being the new ac-
quaintances made thereby II would be i'm
possible to get to know so many desirable
persons so rapidly and so well in any other
manner.
An Excellent Investment
1t always costs a Grub much more in dol
lars and cents to conduct a tournament
than is derived from entrance fees, so 1t
may be seen from this that the entrant gets
a full return on his small investment. The
mere supplying Of the new tennis balls for
each match returns every entrant half his
fee, even if he is put out in the first round,
and should he be fortunate enough to re-
main in the event until the late rounds, he
will have used balls to several times the
amount expended for his entrance fee in the
tournament.
Players who all too modestly consider
themselves in the dub class" should nut
aside false modes'y and enter all tourna-
menus possible. IL Will not ne necessary
to be urged after entering the first one The
pleasure and benefits to be derived so
greatly outnumber the seeming inconven-
ience. loss of time and cost involved that
one experience will make this manifest
Bear in mind also that this year at any
rate, it is the players of lesser ability who
are most desired by the committees. Every
entry will be n boost for the sport will helm
the American Red Cross, and, in addition,
will represent a pleasurable week of late
afternoon recreation.
Get in line, therefore. Mr.. Average Player.
and enter the Pennsylvania State patriotic
tournament which starts next Monday on
the courts of the Merton Cricket Club at
Haverford. Get a partner and enter the
eastern doubles, which will be held on the
courts Of the Philadelphia Cricket Club AT
st. Martins, beginning the following Mon
day. Enter the Delaware State tourna-
ment at the Wilmington Country Club on
the following Monday June %. Enter in
fact, every tournament that IT is within your
power to spare the time to play in, and you
will be surprised 10 learn that there is more
charm in the game than you heretofore may
have discovered.

MAIN LINE ENJOYS
ITS BEST SEASON
Baseball League Race Is a
Close One and Teams
Evenly Matched
S. G. C. TO MEET MARINES

Never in the history Of the Main Line
| League has such interest been shown or the
| eight teams been more evenly ma tChed" was
the assertion Of Frederick L. Rose. president
OF that organization To-Day. We are in the
midst Of the first half Of the schedule and
the clubs could not be more closely punched.
Autocar Is leading, and then comes Wayne,
Paoli, Dun Co. and Narberth all tie away
for second place, with Bon Air and Bcrwyn
within hailtnG distance.
we decided TO split the seasons games
for numerous reasons. OF course it was
agreed on with an idea Of adding impetus
to the race, which It has already done. Then
again many Of the boys playing along the
Main Line are college fellows now away
at their studies and will be on hand for the
second half a number Of players have left
to join the colors. but their places have
been filed with the best material available" 4"
The most important contest Of the first
half Is scheduled for Saturday at Narberth
when the AutoCar leaders clash with the
Narberth champions. Autocar has been de-
feated on only one occasion since the season
began, and Narberth had the honor Of ad-
ministering said dc eat on the Autocars
homo grounds.
The pitchers on the occasion were Fred
Blum, the eX-New York State Lacquer for
Autocar and Bob Gibson, the Haverford
College star, for Narberth Gibson was
victorious by the score Of so and let his
OppOHeHt' uOWn win nNc scattered singles,
while Narberth collected eight including
a double by Gilbert, three-bagger by Turner
and homer by Humphries
The same batteries are announced for
saturdays clash and as Autocar is out for
revenge there promises 10 be n great game
With five straight victories to its credit
the Strawbrdgc & Clothier nine will
again play the L. S Marines on Saturday
on their grounds at SiXty-thrd and Wal
nut streets These two staged a red-h
affair on the afternoon Of Decoration Day
and 5. q G. won out in the ninth after
Bill McKenty had checked great rally of
the soldier boys, For the past week the
men at the navy yard have been peeved
over the defeat and insisted on a return
game. The Marines will turn out in large
numbers, accompanied by their band Pre-
ceding the game there will be a drill by
a company Of marines. The batteries viii
likely be McKenty and ODonnell for the
store boys and McElyenny and Pasquerlo
for the marines.

TENNIS JOURNEYS OFFER GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMBITIOUS
YOUNG PERFORMERS THIS SEASON
inexperienced Players Will Have Better Chance,
Can Enjoy Practice and Club Privileges During
Meets and Make Contribution to Red Cross
BY PAUL GIBBONS

II EEN followers Of tennis are curious 20
LA know whether the various sanctioned
patriotic tournaments will be uniform sue
cesses or are doomed to fail through lack
Of interest. In view Of the fact that every
one, from President Wilson on down
through the leaders Of the various branches
or sporting activity has taken the stand
that all forms Of sport should be kept
going, II is sincerely to be hoped that those
men who are ineligible or exempted in the
hrSt draft will do their part toward en-
couragng the continuation Of their favorlte
form of sport by entering the tournaments.
There have been no sanctioned tourna-
ments for men in this section as yet, the
first Of the long list Of patriotic meetings
being scheduled TO take place next week.
when the Merton Cricket Club stages the
Pennsylvania State patriotic tournament
on its beautiful turf courts at Haverford.
Every tennis player VINO can spare the time
TO do so should enter this tournament, as
well as those which follow il in this section
and in order that no one who might care
to play in these events may be kept out of
them because Of being unable to get out
from business before the usual stopping
hour, the events will not start in most in
stances until O'Clock each day.
Novice Player Welcomed
Those who may feel that they do not
play well enough to enter the tournaments
and who heretofore have not done so will
be particularly welcome. IT is President
Adees idea, and the committees in charge of
the tournaments will keep the fact in mind,
that for this year, at any rate, quantity
and not the usual quality is desired. 1t is
therefore up to Mr. Average Player to do
his part by stirring himself and entering
every tournament possible and thereby not
only enjoy the pleasure of participating in
a most beneficial and enjoyable affair but
have the added satisfaction OF knowing that
he will be helping the Red Cross Society,
which is to be the beneficiary.
The entrance fees are invariably $3.50
or 81 in the singles and S1.50 each in the
doubles, The payment of this small fee en-
titles the entrant to full membership privi-
leges in the club for the duration of the
tournament II invariably permits the use
of the club courts for several days pre-
vious TO the opening Of the tournament and,
even though he should be put out in the
first round he may continue to use the
