DUMBARTON PLANS
ACTIVE TENNIS SEASON
Takes Steps to Build Swimming
Pool at Meeting at Which
Directors Chosen.

Dumbarton Club at its annual meet
ing at the clubhouse elected mem
bers of the board of governors and
made plans for an active tennis
season. The club noted its approval
of the National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion's sanction of the request for the
annual tournament for the champion
ship of the District, which will be
held September 8, and also voted to
which were done away with during
the war period. The boys and the
juniors tennis tournaments for the
championship of the District also will
be played on the Dumbarton courts
The club unanimously adopted a
resolution for the appointment of a
committee, headed by Maj. Boyd Tay-
lor, to put through a plan for a swim
ming pool on the club grounds The
pool probably will be about rs feet
long by rs or 80 feet wide, and it is
expected will become an added fea-
ture of the club, which, for the last
year or two. has been, in the main, a
tennis club.
The club approved the schedule of
matches of the Washington tennis
Association. under which Dumba rton
Club will compete with Chevy Chase
and Columbia clubs and with the De-
partmental and Suburban leagues for
the championship of the District. and
with Baltimore for the intercity
championship. Last years Dunbar
ton tennis team, under the leadership
of Samuel Herrick. captain. won the
championship of the District and de-
feated Baltimore in the intercity
series.
Seven members OF the board of gov
ernors were chosen, three to serve for
three years, three for two years and
one for a single year. Those elected
were Roger Boyle. George Dawson
Gould Lincoln, A. J. Gore, Col. Mas
tellar, Burr Johnson and Samuel Her
rick.
Tho Dun,bartoH courts have been
open TO play for more than Il week and
are rapidly rounding into first-class
shape.

Picking the spots" is the toughest
job that confronts a base ball man.
ager. 1 have talked it over with a
number of the games greatest leaders,
and all agree that picking the spots"
is the most difficult proposition that
confronts them. Perhaps. to the lay
man 1t is a rather ambiguous ex-
preston. To the base ball manager,
1t means selecting pitchers to get the
best possible results, substituting
pitchers at the right time to save a
twirler who is faltering, or calling
on a pinch hitter who comes through
when hit yust about means the ball
game.
Those are just a few of the pick
ing the spots" situations that con-
front manager in every game. He
lays himself open to criticism and
ridicule every time he makes a shift
Seldom does he receive praise, because
successful execution of the move was
expected by the fans when the shift
was made. When he makes a change
and 1t is successful, it is regarded as
a-matter of course, but failure to pull
properly the so-called strategy gives
the second gueSser a chance to get in
his work. When a pitcher is der
rfcked, and his successor is hit hard,
the opinion is that the other pitcher
could nave done no worse. If a pinch
hitter strikes out, nothing but criti-
cism is slipped the manager and pinch
hitters Whit about as often as they
come through with base hits.

ayers, regardless of the success or
failure twirlers on their staff may

pitchers beat certain clubs with ease.
while against other teams not nearly

ter johnson in the American League
the ST. Louis club has been the hard,
est for him to beat. yet most of the
time ST. Louis has been lingering

ing pitchers. Mack has always used
his staff where he felt the twirler
would do the best service for his club.
If a pitcher on Mack's team found
difficulty in beating a certain club,
Mack seldom called on that pitcher in
a series with that club. regardless of
the fame of the pitcher. If the next
series was against team which had
always been easy picking for GER
tain pitcher. that twirler would be
used twice in such a series. In other
words, Mack always makes every
effort to pick the spot" where the

beaten in small score game by a run.
Perhaps the next day the home team
makes six or seven runs, but through
poor work on the part of the home
team pitchers, the visitors got eight
or nine tallies. With the second guess.
one often thinks how easy it would
have been for the pitching of yester-
day to have won the game of today
In one case the finest pitching was
wasted because of lack of hitting.
while in the other good hitting was
tossed into the discard, because of
hopeless pitching. The manager of
the home team had been unfortunate
enough to pick the wrong spot.
Managers. as a rule. always regard
Walter Johnson as the wrong spot
for any pitcher. I know several man
ayers who figure the odds so much
against their chances of victory when
Johnson works that they use some
recruit pitcher. 1t is also strange
that recruits. as a rule. give johnson
BILE trouble. Some unknown
have suddenly jumped into
the limelight because of a victory a.
Johnson's expense. Picking the spot
means everything in base ball, but the
element of luck figures to about an
equal extent with excellent judgment.

The Case of Thomas Fitzgerald

Chicagos mills of justice ought to make
quick work of the case of Thomas Fitzgerald,
confessed slayer of little Janet Wilkinson.
Safety of society and public sentiment demand
it and there will be no patience with a resort
to fine spun theories as to mental response
bility to delay proceedings.
Fitzgerald was sane-or else male animals
which destroy young Of their own species
seemingly out of pure wantonness do so under
fits of mental alteration. Nobody would have
patience with the view that the tomcat which
fights off the mother and brushes in the skulls
of brood of kittens is insane. The Chicago
murder was committed in a moment of rever-
sion to british passion which now and then
rises above the reason that it is supposed to
be always uppermost in man and creates a
spectacle that shocks society to its depths.
Fftzgerald's1 crime is the most loathsome
that man can commit and the safety OF society
requires that the menace of his presence be
removed and furthermore that the example
made of him will be one calculated to infiu-
ence Others no less evil than he, to keep their
blood lust under control

The Race Riots.

Race riots in Chicago, with the killing on
two or three people and the in1uring of half
a hundred, brings the issue involved to the
middle west and uncomfortably close to Rock
Island.
Return Of colored soldiers from Europe,
where they received the same considerations
as white men, has been followed by outbreaks
in a number of places. Naturally the colored
man resents return to a position of inferi-
ority in this country and it is not surprising
that his feeling is shown now and then in some
individual act of lawlessness. When this hap
pens the incident sometimes is magnffed in
the telling until racial resentment entirely out
OF proportion to the seriousness of the offense
is created and then something like what took
place last night in Chicago occurs.
From time to time dire predictions of race
trouble are made in the United States, but
nothing ever has happened to involve any con-
siderable part of the country and it is believed
that the present trouble is sporadic and win
quickly subside.
