Chicago has gone into victory ga
dening this wear on an intensive scale
and hopes to break the record the
city made last ,.,ear in war garden
ing. Many agencies there are CO.
operating with the National War
Garden Commission of Washington
in arousing further interest in home
food production The immigration
department of the Y. NJ c. A. has
turned a large acreage into gardens
and by this means is teaching the
foreign born about American meth
DDS and ideas and how to speak
English and at the same time Civ,
ing them a valuable lesson in thrift
and helping them to help themselves.
In other cities also the Y. M. G.. A. is
doing the same thing.
School gardening in Chicago is
being encouraged to the utmost this
year. and the National War Garden
Commission has sent Dudley Grant
Hays, in charge of school gardens, a
large consignment of it's garden in
struction booklets which he is using.
Other lots have gone to the public
library for distribution through its
branches. Many of the large indus
trial and manufacturing concerns i'll
and around Chicago are encoura ging
their employees to plant victory gar
dens this year in many cases assist
ing them by providing the land, fur
nishing instructions and in other
ways. The daylight saving hours is
proving of great value to the work
men who have planted gardens.

field. Miller is n valuable man in any
position, and although he belongs pri-
mariy to the end squad he can be
turned into a back of the first degree.
Bells Booting Surprises
With this line up Bell ran through
some plays and formations and then a
kicking drill was held and the Red and
Blue captain surprised by his excellent
bootiEg. Bert has developed into a
drop kicker of real worth. With his
added weight he is getting more distance
into his drives and also more accuracy.
Bruner also looked good before the
croSsbar.
New arrivals are expected daily at
the farm. Hcinzelman, the upstate
boy, who is heralded as promising
player, and the Wray brothers, Alex and

The squad Will stay at the farm until
September %. when they will move to

tice.

NORTH HILLS AGAIN
IN GOLF L|MEL|CHT
Mrs. Smith Leads Bumm-Cup
Field and Six Other Club
mates Qualify
YOUNGSTERS TO THE FRONT

1t was just about two weeks ago that
j. Wood Platt put the North Hills
Country Club on the map by reaching
the semitinal round of the national ANA
teur championship. Yesterday the club
came into the limclght again. when
North Hills woman champion, Mrs. II.
l. smith, led the field in the qualifying
round for the Belle Steelman Bumm
Memorial Cup at Whitcmarsh Valley.
True enough, if Mrs. Ronald Fl.
BARLOW, who has won so many tour
namehtS that she has lost count of them,
had only taken two stroke penalty. on
the fifteenth hole yesterday the honors
would have gone to her. But in golf,
in medal play, rounds, scores and
nothing else count. and Mrs. Smith
turned in lower score by two strokes
than her fellow competitor.
incidentally. Mrs. Smith and Platt
have figured rather prominently in mixed
fourSomes. Last year. after n tie for
the low net in the Fridolyn Cup, they
won the play off. In the fall they won
the mixed fOursome event in the Ber-
thcllyn Cup tournament at Huntingdon
Valley, and this year they tied for the
Fridolyn Cup with Mrs. Barlow and
Max Marston.
And in addition to Mrs. Smith leading
the field, five others of her fellow mem
bcrs from North Hills made the first
flight and one other is tied for the last
place. Which is rather good record
for one club.
Three of them who made the first
fight are two daughters and their
mother. the Misses Dorothy and Mar
garet Doyle'aand Mrs. f. !. Doyle.
Then two other sisters are in the first
flight. At least one of them is. Miss
Helen Mcehan, while her sister Sarah
has a chance to make it this morning
by playing off for the last place.
The Whiternarsh players did we'll, too,
for four of them are in the first six =
teen and lot of the women are basing
their expectations of one of the four
reaching the final round. One of them,
Mrs. J. Wallace Turnbull, had the
unique distinction earlier in the year of
handing in the low gross as well as the
low net score for the Ida Il. Dixon Cup.
and in turning in the low medal she beat
Mrs. Barlow, Mrs. Fox and Miss Cav
erly, which is some feat in itself.
Play in the first round of match play
begins this morning and some interesting
matches are slated. While Mrs. Bar =
low is picked to win the cup for the
third time, she may encounter some very
stiff opposition before the matches are
over. The fact that George Hoffner and

SINGLES
DOUBLES
Easy for Garland

Chuck Garland unsheathcd his ten
mis- harpoOn yesterday and administered
two crushing blows to the two oppo-
nents against whom he was pittcd in
the first and second rounds. Just to
get warmed up he calmly put G. r..
Pfnst, of Pennsylvania, out of the
running in two love sets that lasted
just long enough to allow the gallery
to sip half glass of lemonade. The
Yale Junior then took r. G. Benton, of
Georgetown, on. Benton got a game in
the final set, that was all.
There is really very little to this
years tournament. In former years
there have always been at least two
men who stood out above the field. but
this year Garland is so far anead Of
the rest that he might just as well
crate the cup and depart for New
Haven.s There is not man in the
list that can even give Garland battle.

Host Of intercollegiate
Champions Later Won
National Fame: 1919
Tournament Is on
GARLAND is FAVORITE
BY SPICK HALL

THE intercollegiate lawn tennis cham
pionship which began yesterday
afternoon on the turf courts of the
Merton Cricket Club, at IIaverford. re-
calls the names Of many of Americas
greatest players who began their ma
tional careers by winning the college
title. This year is no exception to
1.-The past in bringing out some one
who is destined to land among the
first ten. Charles $. Garland, of
Pittsburgh, who is playing in the
intercollegiates as a member of the
Yale team, is the big star of today in
college ranks. 1t will be recalled that
In the recent all comers' tournament
at Forest Hills Garland added to his
already large reputation as n tennis
player by winning the first two sets in
his match with Norman +. Brookes.
This tournament is the thirty seventh
to be staged under the auspices of the
intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton Last year and in 1917 there were
no official tournaments held because the
war buttcd into tennis as we'll as into
many other college sports.
Gamer Last Winner
G. c. Gamer won the last tournament
which was held at Merton in 1916.
Gamer also won the doubles event with
Dick Harte as a partner and the two
points which the Crimson took on that
occasion were just enough to make the
required seven points, giving Harvard
permanent possession of the cup offered
ky the Merton Cricket Club Merton
has put another cup in the field for the
competition. These cups cannot be lifted
by any college for at least four years
because the maximum number of points
that can be made in one year is two,
one for singles and one for doubles.
Harvard not only won the cup last, in
1916. but has the honor of having won
both the doubles and singles title more
frequently than any other college. The
Crimson has won both events sixteen
times Yale is second, with half dozen
victories in singles and nine in doubles.
Pennsylvania has won the Singles three
times and the doubles the same num-
Der. DR.. f. B. Dewhurst, who has for
many years been a prominent figure in
Philadelphia tennisdom. won the singles
title for Penn in 1908 and again in
1905. Four years later, 1909. Wallace
F. johnson, native son of the Quaker
City. captured the singles for the Red
and Blue. Since that time the honors
have gone outside of Philadelphia.

PICKS FIRST LINEUP
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

OUT on the spacious pastures of the
~ Frazier farm near Willow Grove,
Pennsylvania football is being born
again. Not that the sport at the
Quaker institution ever has been dead
but there were times last season when
its condition was critical to say the
least.
But there's grim determination that
marks those summer garbcd lads who
are laborng under the verbal whip Of
Bob Folwcll. There's a seriousness in
their faces that has been stamped there
by the spirit Of war. The morale is
totally different from that of other
years.
1t was the first day of real practice
yesterday, and twenty-five tanned and
hardened youths toiled ccaAelcssly and
willingly in swcltering sun. The per-
spiration Iourcd off them and their
breaths came in gasps. but there was no
let-up until the word came from the
boss.

Twenty two Candidates

But there were twenty two players
out yesterday and :t was one healthy
looking squad. Ihe men all seemed to
be in great physical condition, and it
won't take much work to place them
i'll playing form.
The early part of the drilling con-
sisted of the usual work of running
down the field under punts, forward
passing and running with the ball. The
candidates boiled in this work for about
on hour and then Coach Robert picked
the first line up of the season.
Herb Deter, a guard of two years.
was picked for the center post, and
Carl Thomas and Dick Supplee, both
veterans, were the guard selections. Lou
Little and Johnny Titzel, two more old
timers, were the tackles and Heine Mil
Ter and Bud Hopper. the ends.
Ray Miller in BackfleId
Bert Bell was at the quarterback
helm and Ray Miller and Hobey Light
took care of the halfback positions.
Bruner, the former Lehigh flash, who
was working out for the first time, was
at fullback. Bruner is not a tall lad,
but he is >stocky and his poundage is
well proportional.
There is n chance that Folwell will
