kUMAGAE NOT
IN TOURNEY
Popular Jap Tennis Player
Now In Olympic Games at
Antwerp; Missed Here.

One figure that has grown familiar
TO tennis crowds will be missing
from the courts of the West side
Tennis Club when the national
championship begins on August so.
for Iehiya KHmagae is not entered.
He left fer Antwerp in July to take
part in the tennis events of the
Olympic gaines which are scheduled
to begin August 15. Kumagae's
skill and his attractive personality
have made him popular with the
galleries, who will regret his abb
sence. even though they wish him
luck abroad.
Kumagae and his friend. Seiichiro
Kashiom. have not forgotten the
championship, however, for in a
to Julian S. Myrick, president
Of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, they say how sorry they
are not to be able to play on both
sides of the Atlantic at almost the
same time. Written from Ostende
where they were playing In a teufna-
menf to get practice before the
Olympic games, they stated that the
local entry was not OF high class.
but that much keener competition
was anticipated at Antwerp.
Zenxo Shimidzu. the sensational
Japanese, who was expected to play
in the national championship and
prevented from doing SO by his
return to India. did not take part
IN the Olympic events, either. as
he sailed from Marseilles for india
August IA. Kashio wrete that he
had improved tremendously since
they used to play each other In the
Orient, so that Shimidzu now beats
Kashio easily.
Both Kumagae ana Kashio expect
to return to the United States soon
after their matches end, for the
former will sail for Liverpool on
September %. and the latter from
Havfe on the anne day.
The advance sale for season
tickets to the national championship
will end tomorrow and those wish
ing to secure reserved seats for the
tournament should send orders to
Harry Parker treasurer. 1gi Park
avenue. before that date. There is
no advance sale of single-day tickets.
which are on sale at the grounds
only on the day Of play.

|NGOTS READY
FOR DU POINTS
AppIeyate's Combination to
Go to Parlin Saturday for
Return Game.

Manager Harry Applegate's Rari-
tan Copper Works baseball tossers
have q chance TO get a tee-hoid on
the Industrial championship Of Mid
dlesex county next Saturday after
noon, when they travel to South
River to cross bludgeons with che
DUPONT powder workers. This
chance results from the 1870 drub-
bling the powder workers handed
the Michelin baseball team at Par
lin last Saturday AFTERNOON.
The Copper workers have lost one
game to the Milltewners and the
Parlin boys already this season, the
first mentioned outfit winning their
game on the Midtown lot by a score
OF 7s5 in a game which was featured
by the ~all-around poor play of the
Ingots. The DUPONT combination
defeated the Amboyans on the local
field in a ~ten-inning contest by a
score of 4-3.
with his team displaying the
same brand of ball as they have
been against some strong teams Tor
the past few weeks Manager Apple
gate should succeed in tieing the
series between the Copper workers
and the DUPONT outfit by winning
the coming. game. Horhsby, 500
and Applegate are all in tiptop
shape as has been shown by their
work over the Weekend just pass
ed.
A victory over Fitzpaarick's ath-
letes would prime the locals for
their next game with Manager Sned-
eker's athletes from Midtown, when
ever that win come off, but local
fandom feel proud of the assertion
of Manager Appiegate that he is
ready for the tifstown boys at any
time.
