TENNIS STARSA ARE
COMING FOR GAMES
Nile. lengIen and N. Colbert,
Wrench Champions, Will
Visit This Country.

Mile. Suzanne Lenglen. the wonder
full French girl who won The worlds
lawn tennis championship at Vim
bledon, London, and Andre II. Colbert.
the famous Frenchman who gained
the honors upon hard court in Eu-
rope, are likely to stand as COM
petitors on the American courts dur
ing the coming season.
As the present international cor
respondence arranges 1t, Mile. Leng-
len is proposing to venture here
for trial by Mrs. George w. wight
man, the champion, for women.
Colbert is keen to visit this coun-
try, as his meetings with leading
Americans during the wartime
tournaments in France have stimu-
lated his interest in the game in the
United States. There Is, OF course,
the additional incentive that the pro-
visions for Davis Cup matches will
make 1t possible to hold a number
OF the preliminary services for the
blue ribbon OF the lawn tennis courts
here.
The Offering of the international
cup for women by Mrs. Wightman
has aroused considerable interest
among women. The acceptance of
the trophy, which is likely to be-
como as great a factor in the de-
velopment OF the game as the Davis
Cup, along with its conditions, must
be accepted at the annual meeting
OF the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association. Tho date for
this meeting has been set for Friday,
February q, at the Waldorf-Astoris,
New York city.
Colbert i. actually expected to
head the French invasion when 1t
comes, which is not likely to be
until in July. The reason for this Is
that Mile. Lenglen has expressed a
desire to defend her winning of the
championship on the turf at Wimble-
don. The tournament there will be
held early in July. Colbert is also a
fairly regular contender at Wimble-
bledon, so that the French players
are not likely to be due until after
the great meeting there has been de-
cided.
Such an able critic of the courts as
Charles Chambers, Of the Kings
County Tennis Club, who saw much
of Colbert in Paris last season, de.
clarcs that he Is even more Of a giant
in physical proportions than Gerald
j.. Patterson, the Australian. There
are followers of the game who de-
clare that Colbert hits with greater
fury and tremendous power oven.

when the California Comet was go
ing at the top OF his pace. Accord
ing to Chambers, the famous French
man rarely comes UP to the net. He
hits so powerfully. however as TO dis
courage opponents, while his ability
to lombard the side lines and to
pass at irresistible speed is such as
to make him formidable against the
greatest of the men in Europe.

This Golf Hound Does
Strange Tricks

George B. Carpenter. Of Med
ford, Ore, has a "golf hound"
that makes him the envy Of the
players on the Del Monte links,
says golf fan from the Pacific
Coast.
The dogs name is Tammie, and
he is a little black Scotch terrier.
When Carpenter prepares to
make a stroke, Tammie is up on
his launches with his eye on the
ball. The ball may go into the
rough or down the fairway 200
yards, but the dog, Carpenter
says, never fails to locate it and
stands by until his master comes.
During the year Tammie has
been on the course he has never
r barked nor violated the rules Of
the game, according to his ad-
mirers.

Boston Nationals of that era, hand

ield. The newcomers name was
Moran, and TO be still more precise
4 was Patrick j. Moran.
Yes, though Moran was catcher

was method in Selee's madness OF
introducing Patrick to the sporting
world as right fielder.
Tho raids OF the American League
Turing the previous winter had
raised havoc with FranlS'S Boston

such stars as Jimmy Collins, Billy

circuit plucked Hugh Duny, Chick

sotffeld.
Selee was left with only one ex-
oerienced outfielder. the veteran Billy
hamilton. the already well past his
prime. But Boston had to have out
ielders, and the old Bean Boys tried
out q regiment of them in 1901. But
most of them were sad sights.

The right field on the Boston Ma

phenomenal success OF that famous
Cub pitching quartet-Brown, overall,
Ruhlbach and Pfeister-was largely
due TO the clever catching Of this

Never a Great Player.
Moran never was a great player
though he spent twelve years I'm the
league as an active player. His high
est batting average was .262. made
with Boston In 1908. As catcher he
never was regarded as more than u

made his appearance in the National

Moran became coach OF the PhillieS
Ia 1912, and In 1918 he succeeded
Charley Doom as manager of the
Quakers. in his frat year as head of
the club he won Philadelphia its first
National League pennant. In 1916
and 1917 Morans Phillies finished
second. In 1918. after the Philadel-
phia club sold Alexander and Killefer
to the Cubs and lost a lot OF star play
crs TO the service, Moran's club drop
ped TO sixth, and he was let out in
Philadelphia, one OF the most un.
grateful acts in baseball history.
But IL acted like a boomerang to
William Baker, the Philadelphia club
owner. Moran was signed as man
ager Of the Cincinnati Reds. and not
only led the Ohiosns TO their first
National League championship in over
forty years. but won the worlds series
as well. In five years as a manager,
Moran has won two National League
championships for cities which in
forty years never knew that honor,
one worlds championship, has finish

as sixth in an abnormal year.
