MANAGER HOOVER'S Northwest
4Nl Professionals have been playing a
cOrking good game this season. The
team is a first class travelling organiza &.
ton, and, according to Hoover, is much
in demand. not only in Philadelphia, but
in many other nearby towns. In ma
jOrity Of cases the managers of opposing
teams have arranged for a return date
with the Northwest Professionals,
which is evidence that the brand Of ball
put up by the Hooverites is more than
satisfactory. Always willing to
strengthen his club, Manager Hoover is
looking for a good catcher. The team
has July "a and 81 open, in addition to
some twilight dates, and games can be
arranged by addressing John J. Hoover,

All in the Family
THE brilliant playing Of the American
i tennis team beyond the Atlantic
water hazard is now a matter Of his
tory.
But the big battle is still head--not
quite yet for the Davis Cup-when the
family row starts at Forest Hills late
in August.
Having eliminated all outside oppo-
sition, It will be different matter when
they begin tearing into each other and
quite an afternoon when the two Bills
johnston and Tilden--stand free to face
in the big test.
Big Bill should be n different Tilden
from the Tilden of year ago, when he
fell before Johnston rather easily. He
has come far since the defeat and has
proved his tennis greatness beyond ar
gument. He has shown, too, that he
can stand long time siege better than
the Californian can. and this Is no light
factor in a championship test.
All in all, this family party at Forest
Hills will be one of the neatest affairs
of many seasons, where not even Tilden
and Johnston will have an old fashioned
cakewalk all the way.
