Sports Considered Important
Part in Training of Com
ing Naval Officers

ANNAPOLIS, July 27.-At no other
place in the United States is there SO
much athletic activity at this time as
at the Naval Academy. While certain
phases of athletics are at a discount
in some places on account of the neces-
sty of devoting everything to the war,
at the academy the situation is differ
ent. TIL academy authorities believe
that it is better for the midshipmen
to have something to divert them from
a too great absorption in war, and they
have always held athletics to be an
important part in the training of the
coming naval officers.
1t is the aim of the authorities to
get every midshipman interested in
some branch of athletics in which he
will compete, either individually or as
member of d team, against others.
and to this end every character Of
sport is encouraged.
The large number of midshipmen in
the new class, nearly a thousand
makes it possible to arrange a sporting
programme of unusual interest for the
summer. 1t was found necessary to
take up quite large number of sports
in order to give the whole class some
thing to do in one branch or another
The sports in which there will be COM
petitions during the summer NAV be
grouped into three classes. Races be-
tween cutters under oars and small
sailing craft partake Of the nature Of

Greatest Players of Country
Expected at Forest

By Fred Hawthorne

Indications are increasing every day
now that the national championship
lawn tennis tournaments to be held at
the West Side Tennis Club, at Forest
Hills, Long Island, beginning on Mon
day, August &c, are to be more repre-
sentative and distinguished by far
higher quality of entry than seemed
possible even q week ago. While moth
ing definite as to the names of those
who will compete for the title, now
held by Lieutenant Richard Norris
Williams, I'd, the singles champion, has
yet been made known, it would not be
surprising to see some Of the greatest
players this country has ever produced
on the turf courts at Forest Hills next
month.
AT a luncheon given by Julian S.
Myrlck. vice president of the national
association. to members of the War
Department Commission on Training
Camp Activities and to tennis writers
at the Bankers Club on Thursday
plans for the holding of the annual
classic of the courts were discussed
and suggestions offered.

y Runs Made
Cardinals in
BurlesqueGane
Dodgers Take First Half of
Double Header, Make
Joke of Second

Uncle Wilbert Robinson's reputation
as a kind hearted. elderly gentleman,
gained in the yesteryears when he cod
died the pitchers for the Giants, went
a-glmmering yesterday and he was
revealed in the role of a modern
Simon Legree.
For Robbie stationed old Jawn
Coombs in right field for the Dodgers
in the double bill with the Cardinals
Yesterday The first set-to went to
the Robins. who tailed two runs,
while the visitors failed to reach the
plate. The night cap, which was
nightmare for 10000 fans and Jack
Coombs, showed Robbie's real self.
Twenty-Five runs were tailed in the
second game by Hendricks's crew, who
amassed twentyeight hits. And OF
Jack Coombs figured in most of this
plays. For in the first six innings al
most every hit went to right field, and
Jawn, when not stopping them with
his shins, was logging them to the
fence. Then, in the seventh, Uncle
Robbie, swapping the whip, sent Jawn
to the box. And in that inning the
Cardinals scored seven runs. They
Tailed three more in the next two
innings.
Second Game a Burlesque
The games were in striking contrast,
the first snappy, hard fought contest;
the second burlesque, in which the in
competent work of Rigler and Moran
featured The Brooklyn team, dis.
gusted with the weird decisions of
Rigler behind the plate, burlesqued
the contest in the final innings.
In the opening session Dick Rob
ertson and Willie Doak twirled hard
fought duel that was anybody's game
up TO the finish Mique Doolan,. who
is filling the shoes of Hans Wagner as
>the leagues slugger in his last few
games, won the first game. Mique was
up three times and notched three safe
singles He tailed the first run in the
third. when he singled to right, went
to second on Wheat's sacrifice, and
scored on Johnston's fly to Heathcote
after Robertson had singled. In the
eighth the Dodgers Tailed their last
run when Olson got life on McHen-
rvs muff of his liner, which let him
reach second, and scored on lack
MEATS scratch lnteld hit.
Hoffman No Iron Man.
Harry Hoffman. former semipro of
the fields of F'latbush, and lately the
"Iron Man" Of the Rochester team in the
New International, essayed to pitch the
Dodgers to a double victory. But Harry
lasted only long enough to kill Jack
Coombs, almost Heathcote, the first
man up, got a hit when Moran ruled
he was safe after he had hunted to
OMara, Ollie's throw beating him to
first by q step. He scored when Fisher
tripled to Coombs in right. Before
"Jawn" could recover his breath he
was chasing a drive to the right wall,
hit by Hornsby, which scored Paulette.
Exit Hoffman and enter Burleigh
Grimes, who in turn was relieved by
Coombs in the seventh. Coombs fin
ished the game.
