SUBURBAN TENNIS
|. LEAGUE MAY LOSE
CLUBS THIS YEAR

Suburban Tennis League officials
are expecting to get together for
their annual meeting next week, &C
cording to President John Holmead.
The circuit may be cut down by
two clubs this season on account Of
the fact that many clubs are hard
hit by the war Numbers of players
have either gone directly into serv-
ice or are finding added duties such
that little time can be given for ten
mis- competition.
The various clubs will hold meet
ings during this week and next. After
these meetings the league is expecting
to hold its regular meeting.
The Racquet Club winner OF the
pennant during the past two seasons,
is without twelve Of its best players.
AS the Racquet Club was composed
OF many young players they have
gone into the army and navy TO sucn
an extent that the club is without
capable players.
1t is expected that all OF the clubs
are affected in the same manner. The
outlook for the circuit at present is
dubious, but after the meetings of
the various organizations President
Holmead expects to find out just what
can be done in the matter of playing
through the summer.

YOUNG CLANCY TO HAVE
TEST IN RING TONIGHT

Washington lovers OF boxing are
going to Baltimore to see Young
CLANCY get his first real test to-
night when he stacks up against
Benny Vulgar, the French bantam
champion, for fifteen rounds. CLANCY
has developed fast as a ring perform
er, bit his work has generally been OF
defensive nature. For tonight's
contest, however, he has announced
that he means to carry the battle to
his opponent If he does, he will
make good with the fans. win or
lose.
Vulgar gave Joe Lynch, the New
York bantam, a neat lacIng in Phila-
delphiR recently, and on this account
many figure him to win from Young
CLANCY. The Frenchman is a rough
and-ready boxer, always willing to
trade punches, so CLANCY Will have
his work cut out for him il he decides
TO go out and end matters quickly.

TAD'S TID-BITS
YOUNG BOXERS NEED LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.

Many a good youngster has been
killed of in the boxing game by an
over-ambitious manager.
One Of the most glaring examples
Of Encouragement was that of Ed
die Hanlon, the Frisco lightweight,
That kid started fighting at the
age of fifteen and was something
to look at. He just busted through
the amateur ranks the way a
Mauser bullet would rip through a
bale of cream cheese. Nothing of
his weight could stand before him.
He even fought frankie Neil and
Abe Attell at that time, but his
battle with Attell was a draw.
After slashing his way through
the second raters, he was matched
with Kid McFadden, who at that
time was about going to seed. Eddie
won with ease and his manager
looked up in the lightweight tree
for the best there was.
Benny Yanger was brought out
and Hsnlon beat him. He was then
matched with Young Corbett, at
that time the Cock of the Walk. F"
They fought a draw, but in the re-
turn battle Hanlon took an unmerci-
full beating, and the battle had to
be stopped.
Battling Nelson also stopped Han
lon and all but ended his bright
career. This all happened, mind

JOHNSON EXPLAINS
HENRY'S SALE TO
STALLINGS' TEAM
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Ban johnson, president of the
American League, comes forward to-
day with a statement tending to clear
up the muddle surrounding the re-
lease of John Henry, the Washington
catcher, to the Boston Braves. He
denies absolutely the rumor that
Henry was driven from the Ameri-
can League for his former activities
In the Players Fraternity"
"When Clark Griffith received a
! handsome offer from the Braves for
Henry, he naturally wanted to sell,
thinking that Henry had gone back
as a player" says Johnson so,
when Griffith asked for waivers, 1
asked all the other clubs in my
league to grant them that Griffith
might take advantage of the offer
and strengthen his own club. That's
all there is to il"
johnson proceeds to say once more
that Henry never was in any danger
of Punishment from the American
League, denying that he had made the
threat credited to him. He proves
this by pointing to the great number
OF former Federal leaguers in the
American League, insisting that there
IS no blacklist in baseball.
Henry Wanted Release.
Applying Johnson's statement It
can be said that, whether or not Ian
ager Griffith believed Henry retro
grading as a player. the veteran
catcher wanted his release from the
Washington club. He would have re-
tired from baseball il Grif had de-
4 clined TO trade OF sell him.
This winter Griffith faced the pos
ability of having Henry retire, leav-
ing the Washington club without a
catcher or any money or players TO
replace him. As soon 5 the Oh OK
became convinced of Henry's serious
ness. and not till then, he listened
TO George Stallings' offer. Henry
knowing the rules of organized base
ball, made no effort to arrange a
place for himself with the Braves
without permission from his mana
ger.
Henry's position. summed up, was
that, if retained by the Washington
would simply not report, devoting all
his time to his business at Amherst.
Mass The Washington club would
then lose Henry's value as player.
When the Braves then made a good
offer for Henry. Ban Johnson simply
assisted Clark Griffith in having the
deal go through smoothly.
AInsnIth Is Ready.
Eddie Ainsmith, who Will do the
bulk OF the catching for the Grsffmen
this season, is back in Washington
after spending several weeks in and
around Boston. His parents live in
Cambridge. and he was visiting
them. Ainsmith Is IN perfect condi-
tIon, as he generally IS, by the way,
and is anxious for the bell to ring.
'No, 1 didn't see John Henry in
Boston," says Eddie. Must "a miss
ed him. Gee, we had some cold wealth
sr up there this winter, though, be-
lIsve me. It feels good to get back
70 washington and away from that
Zee chest UP there"
Ainsmith asked Manager Griffith
for permission to go 10 Augustra with
Mique Martin and Joe Judge, who
left yesterday, but was turned. down.
The Old Fox knows from experience
that he has to hold Ainsmith down in
the spring to keep him from over
training and peterinE out by the time
the hot weather comes along. So Ed
Sic will go South Saturday night, and
Sot before.
