Baseball Not Popular
With Italian Soldierv

Lou Barbour, formerly with the
White Sox, has written from Italy ex-
planning just why the Italian troops
have not taken to baseball and WHY
so little is heard even of games among
the American soldiers on the Italian
front. Mr. Barbour suggests that any
fan who can't understand the absence
of the game in Italy should take one
look at the map of the region where
the fighting all occurred. That look
will explain the situation
"The armies" says Barbour, "did
their fighting in a region that was half
mountain and half marsh. In the east
ern sectors you couldn't find plot of
ground level enough to even roll for a
ball field. In the Piave, districts the
ground was soft, swampy, much cut up
with irrigation canals
"You couldn't find place where a
long hit could be made without mir
ing the outfielders and losing the ball
Naturally, as there was no place in
all Northern Italy to play the game
the game wasn't played"

And McNeal
Win ON Court
Miss Bjurstedt and Profess
sional Find Miss Coss
and FL all Easy Prey
By Fred Hawthorne

The indoor season on the lawn ten
mis- courts had its real start yesterday,
when Miss Molla Bjurstedt, national
woman champion, paired with Harry
McNeal, the club professional, defeated
Miss Eleanor Goss, runner-up for the
womens title, and Walter Merrill
Hall, Middle States title holder by a
score OF 6-3, 6-3, 1913. u the courts
OF the Heights Casino in brooklyn.
McNeal had the edge over Hall, his
volleying and service being particularly
good, while Miss Bjurstedt outspeeded
their victory on merit, although in the
final set they were compelled to un-
cover all their skill to take the set
that clinched the match.
1t was originally planned for Miss
Bjurstedt to play with Frederick B.
Alexander, former Davis Cup star,
against Miss Goss and McNeal, but
Alexander could not keep his engage
ment, so Hall volunteered to take his
place and Miss Goss was selected as
his partner.
much difficulty by Miss Bjurstedt and
her partner. McNeal was very effective
in picking up half volleys from under
his feet as he charged for the net No
matter how short Hall and Miss Goss
played their returns, the national
woman champion and her partner
seemed able to get" to the ball.
Several of the rallies were featured
by sharp volleying, in which Miss
Goss played leading part. Her play
overhead was spectacular, and, al
though she made a number of errors,
her ability to score on forcing shots,
mostly severe smashing of lobs, earned
many points for her side.
Miss Bjurstedt was ali over the
court, driving, from fore and back
hand with terrific speed and running
for the net to take the ball on the full
volley. Her placing was deadly, with
the result that she scored on clean
aces a score of times by shooting the
ball down the side lines or squarely
between Hall and Miss Goss as the lat
ter pair attempted to block off the re-
turns. McNeal's service proved a diff
cult thing to handle effectively, owing
to it's erratic bound.
In the extra set Hall raised the
power of his game several notches,
driving with great power. His volley
ing also improved, while Miss Goss
steadied at the net position splendidly.
The result was very even battle for
the points, and the games went to
eight-all before Miss Bjurstedt and
McNeal were able to break through and
then run out the deciding game for
the match.

court of Boys High School, Williams

out The score was % to 10.
SO close was the battle that at no
time were there more than three points
separating the teams. Clinton led by
10 to IL at the end of the first half,
but after five minutes of playing in
the second period Eastern maintained
an advantage of II to IS. But Clinton
soon went to the fore and was never
overtaken thereafter
Eastern's tendency to violate the
playing rules cost it many points. In
all, twelve fouls were called against
the Eastern team, Goldberger caging
ten of them. The same player, by add

points to the Clinton total
