EXCELLENT COMMITTEE
NAMED FOR TENNIS

Philadelphia, June "A committee
that could not be improved upon has
been named by Julian S. Mtrick,
president Of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association, to
boost the sport This committee is
composed Of Frederick B. Alexander,
w. A. Campbell and Charles Cham
bers. The plan is to have Alexander
handle the boys and Junior touran-
ments. Campbell to direct municipal
tennis and Chambers to handle the
membership problems. Myrick In no.
Trying these men of their appoint
ment had this to say:
1T Is not an idle boast that tennis
has done its full duty-and more-in
war time. To make the record corr
plete demands increased effort on the
part of those unable to enter active
service. The national association aims
tc secure the cooperation Of tennis in
terests throughout the United States
In constructive ACTIVITY, not for the
glorifcation of tennis. but for its use
to build up our people. In helping to
make the nation physically fit tennis
has big job to do. and the associa-
tion asks that you help make this
ideal reality. It Is call to do more
than your 'bit'-do your best"

Stanley Coveleski in the first seven
innings. the Pole holding them to

had amassed two runs off the. deliv-

stiff neck but clear batting optics
and agile underpinnihg. was sent
In to pinch hit for Ayres and he not
only pinched hit but he also scored
what proved to be the tying run
Milan sent a fly to short left center.
Speaker who generally plays ex-
actly right for Milan. proved TO be a
little too far over to the right and
missed connections by four or five
feet. the pop counting for a single.
Then it looked as il the usually de-
pendable Bill Wamby had been re-
.cruited by the Nationals.
Shotton hit to Bill. and as the
BALI was hard hit 1t looked like n
possible, double play. A force out
at second seemed to be a certainty.
Wamby let fly with the ball. Milan
took chance elevated his left
shoulder while he was scooting for
second and instead OF the ball GO
ing into the waiting Chapman's
hands, II hit Clyde on the shoulder
and rolled to short left Aeld. Picinich

Judge drove a ny to Speaker, and
Clyde rang the bell at the plate.
Speaker failed to adjust himself for
the throw to the plate, with the re-
suit that when he did cut loose the
ball curved far to the right and il
Chapman hadn't intercepted 1t
Shotton would have raced to sec-
ond. Covey put on the brakes then
and there. Foster forcing Shotton
at second. while Shanks flied to

Harry Harper and Ray Hanson had
been warming up during the early
part of the eighth chapter. but with
two on, Walter Johnson was sen to
the bull pen; when the Nationals
tied the score he took up pitchinfi
burden. He. was even better than
Sunday when he lost that toughIiuck
game 10 In the eleventh when Morgan
and Shotton collided In going after
Chapman's fly. He retired the In
dians in order: when the Nationals
scored what proved to be the winning
run in the ninth, the king again set
the Tribe down one. two. three. OF
the six men to face him three hit

LAvan. another fouled to Ainsmith
while Yhomas, pinch hitting for
Evans, popped to Foster. ..s
The winning. run. like the tying
counter, was a gift from Wamby. La
van singled with two gone and then
tried to work a delayed steal. Cow
eleski caught him off first with
snap throw to Miller, so Johnny kept
right on for second. Wamby was tate
in covering the bag and Miller had to

DRAFT ORDERS

Club Owners. Believe Con-
tracts Worthless if Crow
der's Ruling Stands.

New York, June 3.-with less than
month left before the government puts
intS effect the new draft rule which
miy force baseball players to give up
tie game and take up some essentiai
kars work, the club owners are all
fopsy-turyy about what action-to take
with the PLAYERS contracts. A eondi-
tion eonfronts baseball which may dis
rtlpt the entire structure of the game.
The Club owners may be compelled
TO operate the ten days reserve clause
IN the players contracts, thus releas-
ing ali claim to the players service.
with all the star players Of the game
free agents, the players can hold
themselves aloof when they are re-
leased from military service and sign
with the club bidding highest for their
services.
By releasing the players on ten days
notice, the clubs cannot hope to hold
their men by the reserve Clause. which
gives them frst call on their players
services for the following season.
Baseball men have figured the situa-
tion out in q way which, viii make II
possible for. the prosperous clubs to
corral all the star players when the
war is over This state of affairs Is
the very thing which the reserve
Clause has prevented in the past and
made it possible for clubs to hold their
star players
1t may be possible that some Of the
richer clubs may live up to the con-
tracts and pay the players for the sea-
son. thus holding them for next sea-
son. but this would necessitate a
large expenditure of money with no
return. and it is doubtful IL more than
one or two of the clubs could AFFORD
IL. There are many players with clubs
season after season who could COM
mand larger salaries with other clubs,
but have been unable to break their
contracts. Nothing would suit these
players better than to get a chance
'toIbe in a position where half dozen
managers would be trying to ,outbid

The club owners are now trying to
devise some scheme to hold their play
eTs when they are compelled to break
their contracts because. of the new
draft order. is expected that the
National Commission will take up the
matter within a short time. Naturally
the club owners are, doing no slight
emount of worrying about being COM
pelled to break contracts with .the
players. and will make every effort
Il effect some arrangement. so as to
able to have first claim on their

GEORGE CHANEY IS
AFTER TIGER BOY

Baltimore June awhile Manager
Bletzer Is anything but satisfied with
the outcome of the Williams Young
CLANCY battle, and while he feels the
unexpected cut over Chaney's eye
brought about a result that fails to
show the respective merits Of the
boys, he will, not try to rematch
them for the present.
Instead he had another bout In view
that would arouse far greater inter-
est than that Of Saturday, and this
Is a match between Kid Williams
and George Clancy. At first glance
many may think that this match is
all out Of the question on account of
the weight. but such Is not the case.
Williams is no longer a bantam
weight, and 120 pounds ringside is as
low as he should go. True 1t is that
George Clancy has seldom fought at
the feather-weight limit during the
last two years. but Manager Bletzer
says he wilinhave his boy do 122 ring
side and let Williams name his own
terms. Now here is a match that
would set Baltimore wild-A match
that would break all records for at
tendanee and money. The Kayo
King and bis manager are both ready
to talk business at once.
