CECIL DONALDSON
Is TENNIS WONDER
fteen-Year-Old Partner of
Tilden Has Brilliant
Net Future

That another real Juvenile star of the
courts has been developed is shown by
the astonishing play of fifteen-year-old
Cecil Donaldson. The youthful phe-
noms work is commented upon by Fred
Hawthorne in the New York Tribune.
as follows:
That America is schooling a remarS-
able crowd of future stars of the lawn
tennis courts is being demonstrated with
the holding of every tournament in
which boys and juniors compete. The
latest prodigy to link his name with
those of the ranking players is young
Cecil Donaldson, just turned fifteen
years of age. who, paired with William
T. Tilden, I'd. of Philadelphia, finished
as runner-up for the national indoor
doubles championship at the Seventh
Regiment Armory.
I'm spite of his youth, Cecil has been
playing the game for several years.
having been coached in the early stages
by Gerald Donaldson, his father. on the
clay courts of the Borough Park Tennis
Club, in Brooklyn Although he has yet
to win a title, young Donaldson Is
making rapid strides in that direction,
as his performance indicates.
"The thing about Donaldson that inn
presses the critic today is his coolness
IN action. ana the restraint ne SHOWS IN
not going for the net position until he
has paved the way for an opening by
forcing shots from backcourt once the
opportunity for a finishing shot at the
net is there Cecil shows no timidity in
closing in. His volleying is particularly
good and his service is sufficiently Sc
we're and well placed to give him the
chance to follow in 10 the service court
when he so desires.
THE coming outdoor season of tour
nament play should do great things for
this boy, provided he is not rushed
along too fast and keeps a level head
upon his shoulders. Thanks be TO Provi-
dence, or, more probably to wise par
ents, Cecil has not shown the slightest
disposition yet to be anything but a
wholesome American schoolboy-and a
great tennis player

SAYS MINOR LEAGUES
WILL BE HIT HARD
Dick Kinsella Declares Majors
O. X, but Says Little
Ones Will Suffer

Booming the major leagues and pre-
dieting rough shedding" for the big
minors, Dick Elnsella, onc-tlmc presi-
dent Of the old Springfield Three-Eye
League Club, hangs crepe on the chances
of the minors--thc little fellows--in
baseball this year.
There are still too many people in
tcrcsted in the game to interfere with
tile major leagues this summer" he
said. But good night for the bush
wackcrs. The big minors are going
to have tough time of it. The fans
prefer the high-grade baseball and will
be glad to pay the difference to take
a trip to see big league team in action
rather than stay at home and see a
minor league squad perform"
Kinsella, who is at present n scout
for the New York Giants. denied the
possibility of an Illinois State League.
It actually made him laugh when he
was shown stories published regard
ing il.
There wouldn't he enough people at
the ball parks to fiji "A flatiron build
ing shoe-shining shop. They won't
come out. They want the genuine
article or nothing at all. The time is
inopportune for starting a State minor
league"
He predicts the Giants will cop the
pennant in the National League this
year.
