WOULD PLAY TENNIS
Fasteners Want to Stage East
West Series With Coast Men.

West Series With Coast Men.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA plan is I'M
der way to play an East VS.. West
series of lawn tennis team matches
this winter on the Pacific Coast as
soon as George N. Church and Har-
old Throckmorton, the New Jersey
stars, return from their quest of the
Far East championship in Manila
Two of the following players from
this section of the country have been
mentioned as likely to make the jour
ney to the coast and there team up
with Church and Throckmorton
against the West: Robert Lindley
Murray, Karl II. Behr, and Joseph j.
Armstrong.
These players would make a formf-
dable combination for anybody that
might be brought against them, al
though IL is not definitely settled yet
Just which of the trio named will be
able to make the necessary arrange
ments for the trip. Murray, while a
native of California, is now located
in the East and will represent this
side of the continent II he plays.
William N. Johnston, Clarence J.
Griffin, Johnny Strachan, Maurice
and Roland Roberts, all
are among those from
whom the West would have no trou-
BILE in making a selection to face the
invasion from the East. On the
asphalt courts of California the ma
tive sons would be at a distinct ad-
over their Eastern rivals. as
was the case last year when the two
sections met on the coast.

BASEBALL SERIES
TO Be TALKED UP
Several Coaches Want to Ad-
here to Long High School
Series This Spring.

Arguments for and against the
twenty-game series in high school
baseball for the coming spring may
be raised by the faculty athletic ad-
visers during the winter. Despite
the fact that the series last year was
poorly attended, there was much in
terest in the title event throughout.
Paul White, coach of the Business
team, is strongly in favor of the
twenty-game series. Each team meets
the other twice, playing eight games
in all for the title.
Wants Longer Series.
81 am strong for the twenty-game
SERIES" said White. Last year, aftoF
the boys got over their nervousness
and were down to playing ball, some
fine games were staged. I distinctly
remember several games won by one
run which were highly creditable
performances all around.
I'VE can teach boys a lot of base
ball IL we know we are not stalking
championship on a single game.
The ten-game series is too short to
determine a real winner. and I hope
we can get grounds for a long series
again this year." said White.
Develops More Boys.
One or two other coaches favor The
series as being the best
of youngsters. Some claim
the long series detracA from the in
terest in the game. There are two
sides to the question, and the cham
pionship aspect seems to the coaches
the smaller of the two.
1t is pointed out that the long Sc
ries tends to give all of the teams a
better chance to win in the end.
Breaks often occur in a single base
ball game and the better team Is
beaten. Luck plays an important
factor in the decisions, but those in
charge maintain that the long stretch
should be given another trial before
being condemned.
Postponements Occur.
The annual competitive drill and
the Shakespearean pageant cut in on
the series last year, and postpone
ments which were unexpected caused
delay in the games. This
year, IL suitable grounds can be Do
tanned. several OF the advisers may
vote to give the long series another
trial.
The matter will probably be
brought up at the next faculty adj
Eisers' meeting along with the eIigi-
oility rules for the athletes, long due i
Tor consideration.

Dan O'Leary, aged seventy-four,
and next to Edward Payson Weston.

country. will start out from City Hall.
Philadelphia. on q walking trip here
tomorrow morning.
Word has arrived from Philadelphia
that O'Leary is not taking the trip as

Of q little pleasure jaunt. He's going
to make the 140-odd miles in thirty
two hours, and get to Washington

schedule of eight hours actual walk.
ing per day.
Would Defy Skaters.
When he gets here, according to
advance notices, O'Leary Is going to
stage little performance in which he
will walk one mile for every two and
one-half that a roller skater can
make.
Walking, says OLeary, il the best
exercise for man, and, II theoretically
pursued, say to the extent of twenty
miles a day, will prolong a mans life
and permanently remove him from the
fear OF appendicitis.
OLeary was born June 20. 1872. IN
County Cork, ireland, and has been
doing distance walking since 1867. So
far he just managed to cover los, 462
miles, but he shows no signs OF wear,
and has q standing challenge to walk
any man alive, regardless OF age,
youth or beauty" (these, G. R.. are Mr..
own words) 500 miles for
$500. He has walked that distance
some twenty-six different times.
Has Issued saadpaper.
Twenty miles a day Is just about
right, after q taste for the exercise
has been worked up, and your feet
won't get sore II you battle them
every night, and then sandpaper them
every morning. TO remove the cal
lous spots, and see that the toenailS
are short enough
Another illusion that O'Leary pune
tured Is the idea that in walking
for exercise one must take what IS
described by novelists as q long,
swinging stride"
That is all bunk, according to the
All there is to be done Is
10 cultivate the stride that viii get
you there with the least effort And
when one has walked for twenty-four
hours on end, to the distance Of 125
miles, as -OLeary has done, one ought

TEMPERAMENT Big
ASSET IN BOWLING
PinspilIer With Fiery Temper Is
Handicapped-carroII a
Striking Example.

Temperament, II is said, either
makes or breaks one aspiring to be-
come a skilled golfer. The same ap-
plies to one who would be q star
bowler. A person with steady nerves
and of calm spirit enters either game
with much in his favor. One not pos
sessing these qualities may attain
success, but labors under a handi-
cap.
This prelude has to do with an in
teresting discussion which took place
among several veteran bowlers at
the Royal yesterday, dealing with
the faults and good qualities Of
the city's crack pinspillers.
Is Ideal Bowler.
1t was pointed out that Harry
Krauss, long considered the most
capable local roller, owes much Of his
success to an even temperament.
Zone never sees Krauss lose his tenn
per because of bad breaks or blown
spares" said one of the veterans.
when the Dutchman makes a good
"hit,' and gets split, or places the
ball where it should be placed to
make a spare, and have a pin or two
remain standing, he never becomes
riIed and permit himself to be I'M
steadied He meets and accepts good
and bad luck in the same spirit and
plugs along making the most Of evi
erything."
Said another: Johnny Vaeth 1.-THE
Grand Central starr can roll duckpins
as well as any one / know, but his
temperament, as shown on the alleys,
is not so well suited to the game as
Krauss. Vaeth, from appearances,
takes everything to heart When
things break wrong 1t irritates him.
1t may be that Vaeth is more enthu-
observation-disclosures and it means more
to him to 'get what he hits for"
Carroll Has Fault.
Bernie Carroll, the wellknown
Royal, is a 1T example of how tenn |
permanent affects a bowler's ability.
Many times when Carroll hits the |
headpin and gets a poor break he |
goes up in the air." and shoots the |
spheres down the alley in |
fashion to get the |
scattered naples. Eliminating this |
fault, it is believed, Carroll could add
four OF five pins to his average. which |
would make him the leading bowler |
Of the city.
Charley Wright, of the crack Con-
tinentals, has the same weakness as
Carroll He could materially increase
his average through careful cleaning |

Expense Too Great.
The expense of carrying a lot Of
dead weight through fve weeks or
longer OF training season has been too
great q burden on clubs. Few play
ers are ever landed for the big show
in this manner, and the trend of the

Central basketers received a real
setback when Howard Cissell, captain
OF the team was reporter out with

game the other day, it was reported
that Cissell was taken to the hospital
for an operation. He is also captain
of the championship tennis team, and
the possessor of the only dual honor
at Central in the captaincy line.
Ed Kelly, former Business High
School pitcher, is at Yale University,
and is expecting to get out with the
freshman team as soon as the call
comes for indoor work. Kelly was at
Dean Academy last year.
Willie Thomas, OF Eastern, is COM

The Westerners retained but one play
