Few Real Doubles Teams.

OF women's doubles teams only a
few are worth mentioning. In general,
the feminine tennis players have not
the fafntest conception of the posi-
bilfties of doubles play, refusing to
take net position, and merely indulg-
ing in long driving rallies from deep
court.
Miss Eleanor Goss and Miss Marion
Zinderstein, the champions, can play
doubles correctly and effectively
when they make up their minds to it.
Both suffer from a strange distrust OF
their volleying abilities. in spite of
~the fact that none of the other wom-
en-, except Mrs. Wightman.' can COM
pete with them in this respect. They
almost lost to Mrs. Mallory and Mrs.
Weaver in the national championship,
simply because they remained blind to
the possibilities of their own net play.
Suddenly realizing the situation, how
ever, they came to life with VEN
geance, and took the match without
further difficulty.
If Miss Zinderstein was strong in
partnership with Miss Goss. she was
paired with Mrs. Wightman. This
combination won the national indoor
championship with ease, defeating
their strongest competitors, Miss
Marie Wagner and Miss Clare Cassel.

team with big possibilities. a pair of
players Individually familiar with the
combination game, and experienced In
teamwork by long association. They
gave both the indoor champions and
the outdoor runners-up hard ngnt,

was severely handicapped by her bad
arm. ~,
leaudeau, teaming up late in the sea-
SON. proved themselves a steady pair
and won a startlingly easy victory
over Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. weaver
for the New York state championship.
Mrs. Wightman had Miss Elenora
Sears as partner in the national
championship, and although the latter
was rendered almost useless by torn
ligament in her ankle, she managed
to reach the final round and carry the
champions to two close sets before
admitting defeat. individually, Mrs.
Wightman is unQuestionably the best
doubles as well as singles player of
the year.
This same thing might be said of
her abilities in mixed doubles. where
her command of volleying and smash
ing is invaluable. In partnership with
her husband. George w. Wightman.
the national woman champion made
a strong bid for first honors In eey-
eral important tournaments. They
were defeated in Philadelphia by Miss
Florence BALM and William T. TIL
den, Cd, who lost to Miss Marion lin
derstein and Vincent Richards in the
finals.
This last named team, as national
champions, deserve to head all the
mixed doubles combinations of 1919.
They played the game somewhat difs
ferently from the traditional lines.
Richards often using his headwork to
get the opposing man out of position,
and then shooting the ball through
the opening. instead of playing al
ways at the girl, as is generally done.

MITCHELL RETIREMENT
RUMORS ARE SILENCED

CHICAGO, October 2s.-Rumors that
Fred Mitchell. manager of the Chi

that Mitchell would guide the Cubs
destinies in 1920. He already was
under contract, but. following

old officers and directors were re-
elected, it was decided to pass vote
of thanks to Mitchell for his efforts

BY ii. c. BYRD.

Georgetown and Catholic University
have home games this week, the Blue
and Gray eleven being listed to meet
Delaware College and the Brookland-
ers to face Gallaudet. The former
should win from the Delaware eleven
by a big margin, but the contest be-
tween Catholic University and GAL
laudet probably will be very close.
While it anticipates little trouble
with Delaware College, Georgetown
will work hard to eradicate the faults
shown in it's play at Detroit last week
The Blue and Gray line showed the
same weakness in the Michigan town
that it did against V. =. /. the week
before, and it was by constant ham
mering the forwards that the Detroit
er.s scored the touchdowns which en-
abled them to win. Georgetown Will
begin work today with the Naval
Academy as its real objective. The
Navy is to be met November and the
Blue and Gray authorities realize that
they must make many improvements
in the play Of the team IL their charge
Is to stand an even chance to win.

teams. The former is hampered by a

MRS. W|GHTMAN
LEADS IN TENNIS
Mrs. MoIIa Biurstedt Mallory
Drops to Fourth on
Ranking List.
BY w. H. HOTEL.

Mrs. George w. Wightman of Bos-
ton is placed at the top of the rank
ing list of the woman tennis players
OF the country by the experts who
took in the big Journeys and it seems
as II the honor is well deserved.
In awarding the honor to Mrs.
Wightman opinion, though, is based
chiefly upon the national champion

door and indoor titles. Mrs. Molla

compete in the indoor event and fell
victim to Miss Marion >Zinderstein of
Boston in the semi-flnals of the out
door competition.
Mrs. Mallory. then Miss Bjurstedt,
was i'll at the time of the outdoor
title event and almost collapsed on
the court the day she bowed to Miss
Zfnderstein. who. in turn, was easily
defeated by Mrs. Wightman. Yet at
Cedarhurst last month Mrs. Mallory
won three-set match from the ma
tional champion in the final of the
Rockaway Hunting Club tournament
and finished the season with every
indication of having regained top
form.
Miss Goss at No. 2.
hSioC IL Jill hlIb. >bldliOTy, only one
player gave Mrs. Wightman a real
battle. This was Miss Eleanor Goss
of New York. who unquestionably de-
serves second place on the ranking
list. She was close to a victory
over Mrs. Wightman in both the
National and Metropolitan tourna-
ments. the champion winning in each
case by a spectacular finish, afte-
trailing in the deciding set. Miss
Goss defeated Miss Zinderstein. her
nearest rival. in the Metropolitan
event. and thus settled the long
standing question of the relative
abilities of these two brilliant play
ers. who, in partnership, hold the
national doubles championship.
Miss Zfnderstein deserves third
place because of her victory over Mrs
Mallory in the national tournament.

championship last week he conclus-

1t is doubtful il there is a single
branch of sporting activity where q
champion so completely dominates
his field as does Hoppe in balkline
billiards. For fourteen years, since
the Frenchman. he has rested secure
ly at the top with few to challenge
his rulership. Through seven tour
naments and many individual matches
he has defended his title. and today

than ever Furthermore. he has
clearly demonstrated that he excels
at not only the 1872 baIkline style,
but IN every other variation of the
game, and If he devoted his talents
and zeal to pocket billiards there is
| little question that he would annex the
| championship in that line
Interest in Game Increased,
Despite the ease with which Hoppe
scored in the recent contests the
tournament has served materially to
increase interest in billiards, and with
the stimulus 1T provided the season
this winter promises to produce more
general activity in the sport than for
years. 1t is unlikely there will be an
e o.ner ehampionship event within a
year, as under the rules Hoppe cannot
be made to risk his title before the
next tourney, but IL that were possible
there would be no real risk attached
