ELIMINATE TITLE
TENNIS THIS YEAR
National Association, After Con-
sultation With Baker, Has
New Plan for IT.

Championship tennis play Is to be
eliminated from all scheduled tour
naments this season, according to an
ficers Of the National Lawn Tennis
Association
This action has been taken after
consultation with Secretary of War
Newton D. Baker, who approved OF
the idea of holding the two hundred
and odd tournaments carded, under a
plan to make these competitions q
means of healthful exercise minus
the feature of .titular play Of all
types.
The outline of the new system as
submitted to Secretary Baker calls
for the abandonment of the present
season of all championships, annual
rankings, prizes, challenge cups, and
Invitations to prominent players to
compete in tournaments held at
points long distances from their home
clubs.
Institute New Rules.
In place OF the existing regulations
It IS proposed to substitute an en-
tirely new set OF tournament rules
to govern the present situation
In a general way, the new plan will
advocate the holding OF every tour
nament scheduled under the list sane
toned last week by the u. 8 N. l. T.
A. with the proviso that they be held
as patriotic affairs and entry and ad-
mission fees be contributed to the
American Red Cross.
1t will be suggested that all
matches be played late in the after
noon, and efforts be made to get
quantity as well as quality In the
entry lists.
Want Local Players.
The clubs will be urged to bring
out the largest number of competi-
tors possible within restricted or
local radius, in. order that as little
time as possible be lost in travel.
1t is the opinion of the executive
committee of the association that
such a system OF play during the war
will be both beneficial and feasible.
The elimination of championships and
trophies will remove the incentive for
players to neglect their duty, mill
tary OF otherwise, and the tourna-
ments will thus not become a hind
rance to the activities of the Govern
ment-

CHICAGO, April 22.-With Fred

Mitchell has made q ten strike, and
that the former slugging Giant will
Immediately put the Cubs in the race
for the National League flag.
When Vic Safer broke his leg last
week, Mitchell almost gave up hope.
Reuther, the rookie outfielder, has
been doing the best he could at first
base, but he is no first baseman.
Mitchell at once began angling for
Merkle, and yesterday the deal was
cinched.

GRIFFMEN DEFEAT
FOE BY Big SCORE
Whale Mackmen's Fingers All
Around the Lot and Fool
Absent Rooters.

You can't do It forever. The other
fellow is bound to wake up some day
and pay back in your own coin. This
goes for you, too, Connie Mack. That's
why the Griffmen got all excited-like
yesterday and whaled the eternal day
lights out of q flock of youthful
Fingers and humbled the Mackmen, IL
to 6, before a small crowd. Those
fans who missed the slugging exhibit
ton have only themselves to blame.
They'd better show UP tomorrow, for
1t may happen again.
The game ended in the first inning,
the Griffmen piling into Ellis johnson
and Young Hill for a bunch of six
runs. Walter Johnson was pitching,
and when he saw the scorsboard he
just naturally stopped work for the
day. He passed from the mound in
the seventh, letting Molly Craft com
plete the days work.
Milan Gets Five Hits.
Zeb Milan led the assault upon the
quartet of pitchers sent to the mound
by Connie Mack. The Tennessee flyer.
enraged at his recent light stick work.
slammed out four singles in a row and
closed with a triple to the right field
corner. This offers a high mark for
all other batsmen in the league to aim
at for the rest OF the season. Five
blows In a single game for an aver
age of 1000 Is not seen every day.
Mack's young pitchers were far
from impressive, though Seibold got
away with his Job in good fashion.
Ellis johnson, Hill and Keefe could
not fool the Griffs at all, but Seibold
did manage to hold his own fairly
well.
Shanks at First Base
When Connie sent southpaw TO the
mound, Joe Judge gave way to Hank
Shanks. The Monacan promptly hit
into a double play. Later. against
right-handers, he hit into two more
double plays. One might say that
Hank wasn't hitting much yesterday.
Aside from Milan Sam Rice and Ed
die Foster looked the best with the
fail, each collecting a pair of blows
Elmer Smith poled a triple into the
right field corner IN the sixth, show
ing the fans what may be expected
later.

The Washington times., 1917-04-22

Though winning but one out of five
games played last week, the Grinmen
scored as many runs as Chicago or
Detroit, all three teams making twen-
ty-three tallies. Cleveland was next
with twenty-five. The Red Sox had
twenty, Philadelphia eighteen, New
York sixteen, and St Louis fifteen. It
takes hits to make runs In the big
show and, even II the Griffs did lose
four out Of their f1ve contests, the
very fact that they scored twenty
three runs argues for the future win
ming ability. 1t Is undoubtedly true
tat the Griffmen are much better
batsmen now than In the immediate
past and it is but question OF time
before they begin to produce the runs
behind good pitching. Then they
should climb.
At this season of this year q vic
tory now and then puts q team far
down several notches. Yesterdays
win for the Griffs put them in sixth
place, within reach of fourth place.
However, don't wax hysterical over
the standings in April They mean
almost nothing. Major league base
ball IL filled to overhowing with tales
of teams hopping to the front in April
and bringing up the rear in October.
Indeed, the Cincinnati Reds have
from time immemorial "won the April
pennant and lost that In October" It
has become a joke in Redland to men,
tion the Reds as in the pennant hunt.
So don't bank too much on the stand
ings today. They mean little or
nothing.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of f%reezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corr or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corr relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.
