COURTS IN MATCH
Reaches Semi-Final Round in
National Indoor Tennis
Singles.

William T. Tilden led the field OF com
petitors for the national indoor lawn
tennis championship singles into the
seminal round yesterday on the board
courts of the Seventh Regiment Armory,
New York. The tall player from Pcnnsyl-
wanna hit all the high spots in his game
while battling through two terrific deuce
and vantage sets against Harold l..
Taylor the schoolboy. The score was
81, rs.
The match between the young star
was runncr-up for the national junior
championship and Iilden. rated as one of
the fastest servers on the American courts,
put all else into eclipse. Taylor soon
demonstrated that he had taken n few
leaves from the book of the masterful
Billy Johnson, the youth from the Pacific
Coast who won the national title three
years ago.
Taylor swept up to the net with the
same daShing volleys and whip lash shots
into the corners of his opponents court
that created such havoc when Johnston
played them. Taylor led his veteran
opponent at 5-3 on games on The first
set and So on games in the second. lie
was three times within a stroke OF capturing
the first set and twice of the second.
All Oh Ifg power Aitbb lttctl fptlu Stt
into his strokes was necessary to drive
him off from a victory that would have
stood for more of sensation than any
thing that has happened on the courts in
a long while Tildens assault upon the
net was irresistible III the final games.
He cut Taylor's volleys off short to return
the ball at its swiftest pace for passes
down the sides or to win by cross courts.
= Howard Noshell, the holder of tho
championship honors IN the singles
came fyom the aviation camp At Princeton
TO take part in the tournament. Fred
ericll h. Alexander, the famous inter
national Gun player, was also out, rs was
George Carlton Shafer, the Princeton and
Columbia star
VoshelI, with his finely managed over
head strokes, went through two rounds
with fair ease In his first engagement he
met Samuel Robert MacAllistcr, the
former Baltimore player, and defeated
him at 6-3. 6-l In the second round
NoShcll beat Dir II J. " MagcnthaleT
It 63. o.. Despite tho fact that he
has had little practice on the courts
Noshell always played the bali with good
pace and stcadincss. Owing TO his lack
Of practice he WAS inclined not TO hazard
too much on position play so that he
came through with colors flying.
Alexander experienced 4 narrow escape
against William J. Gallon, the winner Of
the Goth Regiment doubles title last year
1t was only after most desperate struggle
that Alexander won al 6-i. sc, s t.
The alertness Of Gallon his ability to
hit hard in the rallies. and his clever
forcing play against the former Davis Cup
star came near 70 upSetting form, rs Gallon
was once within stroke Of victory in

close of last season, and determined to
strengthen the team as well &c get rid
OF PLAYERS who are not content with the
way the clubs affairs are managed, the
Red Sox have closed deal with Cincin-
natl George Foster, one of the veterans
OF the Red Sox and worlds hero, has
been traded to the Reds for Davey Shean,
also veteran who has been shifted about
among several clubs in the National
and American leagues.
BY the acquisition Of Shean, the Red
Sox fill the last open place IN the regular
lineup. Manager Barrow has little hopes
Of Johnny Eyers holding down second
base for any considerable length of time
and the fight the club put up for young
Conway, now with the Braves, shows
iiseist how badly the Red Sox needed
second sacker. 1t was rumored about a
week ago that Connie Mack was after
Shean, out Connie fatty denied the re-
port and reiterated that, barring acci-
dents, his team WAS set for the season.
Foster was a holdout with Boston and
having acquired Joe Bush during the
winter the Red Sox evidently thought
they could afford To let Foster 20 10
get a reliable second baseman.

Big Southpaw Once With Wilmington
Tri-State Out for Soldier Team.

Camp Dix, April 2-The first call for
candidates for the Camp Dix baseball
team revealed such a wealth of material
that the squad had to be cut in two. The
first haf reported yesterday afternoon
for the initial practice and the other half
will be called upon as the ''has beens
and never weres" are dropped from the
first.
Among the 10 that warmed up today
were George Bausewein, of the Atlanta
team In the Southern League, who later
pitched for Toronto In the Internationa
League; Brown, from the Wilmington
Tri-State: Agnew and Discou who played
several years with Syracuse University
Gehring, outhelder for Atlantic City;
Williams, who has pitched for the Phillies
in 1911, and later for York. Trenton,
Lynn and Lawrence, Mass; Salmon. an
old Princeton pitcher who later worked
from the box for the Athletics and Viii
mington; Switzer, football star here last
fall, who had a record as shortstop with
Dartmouth, kelleher and STRIKER, from
the New York Giants, and Fripp, a
Harvard third baseman.

and will be ready for the Cost and Ac-
counting team of the Navy Yard when the
season is opened up in camp.

Title Shoot 10 BE Held on the Overlook
Grounds on April 20.

Philadelphia is TO have another big
trapshooting event IA u sort Of nightcap
TO complete the winter season for the
blucreck experts and usher in the spring
offensive against the white flyers. 4 bis is
assured rs the result of the deterrtina-
ton of the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. NJ.
G.. As to hold their system champion
ships over the local traps at Overlook.
The date has also been decided, and
the event will be staged on April 20.
Although this shoot will bring together
only two teams, il should prove the super
lative degree of bluerock batting because
of the crack entries. Camden and Olean
will be the pair To clash for the system
title, as the Ierseyites won the Eastern
district championship and Olean con-
qucred all others in the west. Both
teams gained the right to enter the sys-
tenn event by outshooting all other teams
ON the entire railroad in the elimina-
tions extending throughout the entire
winter The individual championships
will also he settled on that date. iiar-
risburg made n strong bid To have the
event staged there, but tho local grounds
proved the more attractive.
The system titles in many other sports
are also ON the cards to be settled On
April the tug-of-war will bring to-
gether Jersey City, representing the east,
and either Remove or Altoona for the
west In basketball the race for the
titles in the eastern and western dis
tricts is still matter of conjecture, Al
toona and Olean are having it out in the
west, while Wilmington and the local
general offices arc clasbing here for
the eastern honors, and will decide mat
