Another Jap Net Artist
Comes Up for Attention

According TO letters received from Cal
cutta, India, there is the possibility that
another japanese wizard Of the racquet
may seek to dim some of the glory that
has fallen to Ichiya Kumagae on the
American courts.
The player i'm question Is one discov-
cred several years ago by Norman E.
Brookes. the Australian
He is JenjO ShimidzU and many who
have Travelled in the orient declare him
to be the superior Of HI magae in his
ability to play with RAJ speed and
skill at the baseline game
Brookes tried Shimidzu out in a spe-
eial exhibition at the time of their
meeting. with the result that the japanese
won.
Shimidzu has just made a complete
cleanup Of the championships at Bengal,
India, according to the letters.
In the final singles he defeated his
opponent in straight sets, and, as it
was his third successive victory, took
the cup outright.
He won in the doubles with another
japanese, X. Okamoto. as his partner.
He also won in the mixed doubles with
an English woman Mrs. Keavs.
In all of his matches Shimidzu did not
lose a set
Several years ago Shimidzu made
short visit to san Francisco. where he
met several of the stars of the Pacific
coast
The news OF Kumagae's triumphs have
reached him in India, and he is now anx-
fous to make a trial Of his skill in the
American tournaments and test his game
against that Of his fellow countryman.

BOILLOT JOINS i
PEUGEOT TEAM
IN SPEED RACE
Sensational Driver Coming
With GOux to Try for 500
Mile LaurelS.

Andre Boillot has been named as sec
ond member of the Peugeot triumyirate
that will endeavor to hoist the tricolor
above the flags of competing nations
during the eighth international J00-mile
sweepstakes on the Indianapolis speed
way, Monday, May 81, according to an
nouncement made at local speedway head
quarters today.
With Jules Goux and Andre Boillot in
the fold, the prospects of the famous
French racing combination being to
assume decidedly rosy hue, and it ID
the freely expressed sentiment of the
wiseacres that Peugeot is the team the
rest of the contenders will have to beat.
BROTHER OF THE
FAMOUS GEORGES.
Andre BoilIot looms UP as a worthy
successor to the laurelS that crowned the
brow of his famous brother Georges, con-
coded to be the greatest driver who ever
held steering wheel.
In the last largo Florio, run over the
difficult mountain passes Of Sicily, be
gave the most sensational exhibition OF
driving in history, accepting every risk
and registering miraculous escapes no
less than six times.
His final feat of daredeviltry con-
sisted of colliding with the grandstands
to avoid hitting spectator who had
wandered on the course, and then, finding
himself completely turned around throw
ing on the power and cutting the finish
line in reverse
During the world war Boillot was a
French ace, and the utter disregard for
safety that he acquired during his nu-
merOus air combats seems to have per-
sisted with him into his racing career.
NET BAD LUCK
IN 1919 EVENT.
Boillot's American racing debut was
made during the lndianapoli contest OF
1919, but he met with disappointment on
this occas sion, being turned back when
running ip thir1 position, within twenty
miles of the finish. due to the collapse of
treacherous wire wheel
The mount thar ROillot esndled on this
occasion was of the same size as those
being groomed for this years classic. and
1t was largely due to its excellent show
nS against its larger rivals that the new
speedway racing rules limiting piston
displacement to lS3 cubic inches, vera

No Kicking Heard
in Big Leagues on
NeU Pitching Code
MAJORS Faithfully Living Up
to RuLeS-IntentiOndL
Pass Still Goes.

NEW YORK, April 24.-No riots. blood
shed or fatal trimmings have attended
the enforcement of the new major league
pitching rules.
HurleTs of both leagues are keeping
so close 10 the law that very few com
plants have been made.
The Boston Red SOx i'm a game q few
days ago with the Nanks, accused Bob
Shawkey of dOctoring the bail, but the
umpires could find no evidence.
What effect It has in batting is impos-
sible to estimate so early in the season.
However. one result is apparent-the
game has not been speeded up.
The major games so far this season
have averaged two hours and ten min
uteS
Some pitchers. such as Jack Quinn of
the Yankees, are naturally slow workers
in the box
. CoveleSkie spitball pitcher. and Al
Soth0ron. a former sinner pitched one
OF the fastest games Of the season in
one hour and thirty-six minutes.
The intentional pass may have been
curbed by the new rules, but it has not
been stopped.
1t is just as easy TO get rid of a dan
gerous batter by a base on balls as 1t
was before.
