Slip me the rag and pdck-the icorld-

The trail that leads from ddUn to

Where is the heart to stan when the

When the east rind and the north

Plead in the carly liqht-cdH through

Where crcry ddtcn SHAH send its

Where dun care leares the mind free

Free as the dritting winds that romp

The Winning Temperament
once again we arise to nut this
~ query: What is the winning tenn
permanent in sport?
Johnny Evcrs was one Of the most
nervous, nigh strung ballplayCrS ever
Enown-and one of the greatest.
Hans Wagner and Nap Lajoc were
almost stolid in their serenity-and they
were also two of the greatest.
Jock Hutchinson is one of the most
nervous golfers of the age--and one of
the greatest.
Francis Ouimet is ono of the most
serene, unrufiled golfers of all time
and ono of the greatest.
Does temperament. after all, have
very much to do with nervousness or
lack of nervousness?
Isn't it rather matter of such in
tense concentration that complete co =

they work in harmony?

INCOG CR|CKETERS
/. OFF CREASE TODAY
British Rest Up Before Taking
On the AII-PhiIadeIphia
Eleven Tomorrow

The British Incogniti cricketerS, after
four clean-c wins and rainy day
draw with the best teams Of this city
and New York, are resting up today
for their final three day match with the
An Philadelphia eleven which opens on
Cub tomorrow.
Judging from its record, the Incogs
seem to have the sort of team that oc-
easionally takes day OF but never has
an off day. The Londoners are spend
ing the day in playing golf, tennis,
motoring and getting better acquainted
with the crowd of new friends they have
made in the last two weeks.
Easy for Britishers
'E Their win Yesterday over the Ger
mantown Cricket Club. winner Of this
years Halifax cup, brought out one
point, which is that the local team i
not in the same league with the English
men. The victory by nine wiCkets was
even more decisive than the score would
seem to show. The Mannheim eleven was
handicapped however, by the injury to
its star bowler, Budd Mann, and the
absence Of II. Il. Maxwell, another con-
sistent performer,
The final match Of the Englshmon' 5
series here with the All Philadelphia
team, which begins tomorrow, is stirring
up lots of interest among the many
cricket fans of the city. The splendid
showing of the home side in the match
last week, which went to the invaders
after a brilliant finish, has stirred the
hope that is said 70 spring more or less
eternallv and the Philadelphia bHckrrs
are pulling for a final cleanup OF the
Britishers before they pull for home.
Morris Makes Century
One of the facts that is still bright in
the minds of the enthusiasts IL that,
after the Incogniti had laced out 32B
runs in their first innings, the Phila-
delphia stars came right back into the
picture with 30S scores Of their own.
Few Philadelphia teams have ever
scored more runs in an inning in an
international match.
Another pleasant thing for the Phil
adelphia followers to remember is the
century run up by G. &. Morris, the
hard hitting Merton star, which is one
of the few three figure counts ever
scored by local player off crack Eng
lish bowling.
Provided the Incogs do not store up
too much reserve energy, and all that
sort of thing. during their vacation to-
day, the week end match should contain
as much fast cricket and interest as last
weeks battle between the two sides.

III. Keeping the Ball in Play

TNENNIS matches are lost or won by
i errors. 1t is not the earned points
YOU make that win for you. 1t is the
errors committed by your opponent that
decide your fate.
With this in view, it behooves the
PLAYER who is struggling through long
hard tournament season to always Keep
the ball in play in the pinch. Many
great matches have been lost by the
failure to put the ball in play at vital
times.
amples of the failure to Keep the , pau
in play when most needed. Il. y: WI
liams, I'd. suffered two serious deteats
through his defiance of the law OF satety
of keeping the ball in play. Nj. d. ".
Ritchie beat him at Queens because ne
forced Williams into error by his
methodical defense. Ritchie Is an eX-
moment of the same style play as DR.. T..
r.. Hawk. C. 8. Rogers and \. w.
Swayne. Mavrogordato, who defeated
Williams in the championships at
Wimbledon, has the supreme virtue OF
never missing the easy ones.
Cites Case Of Williams
If a second string player is enabled
to defeat man of Williams's class py
merely keeping the ball in play, 1t Is a
sound argument for steadiness in the
pinch. The outstanding feature OF WI
liam NJ. Johnston's game is not his
famous forehand drive. 1t is his Ger
tainty on all average chances. Bllly
seldom gives the other man chance by
throwing away an important point by
an error. He always forces you to earn
your points. >, -
A tournament player should always
remember that so per cent of all points
in tennis are errors, not earned points.
and that by keeping the ball in play 1t
forces the other man into playing an
other shot and thus increases his chance
of error. There is far greater ad-
vantage derived from this keeping the
ball in play in hard match.
1t greatly increases the physical and
mental strain on your opponent.
Nothing is more upsetting to the player
on the other side of the net than to see
n shot he considers winning, returned.
He tries to do the superhuman the next
time and thus is apt to err. The mere
physical strain of tensely waiting for the
return of the ball and then chasing it
to return it is great and may, in long
five set match, prove the determining
factor. That last slight physical su-
periority in the last set has won many
a championship.
