War Department Trims Printers
and Navy Yard Licks Marines

War Department will represent the
Departmental League and Navy Yard
will be the Government League en-.
trant in the Section c series in the
District Baseball Association series
which starts on Monday.
Yesterday War Department hung a
l0-to-1 sinner on the Union Printers
team, thereby coping the Depart
mental League playoff. The War
players proved entirely too clever for
the Printers all the way.
In the Government League playoff
the Navy Yard lads grabbed off a
4.to-2 win from the Marines on the
White Lot. The Marines won the
first series and the Navy Yard the
second. Two straight wins for the
Navy Ward took the league pennant.

List of Coming Stars of Femi-
nine Persuasion Is Not
Imposing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Optimis.
tically as one may view the battles
fought for the women's national cham.
pionship titles. the hard, cold fact re.
mains that in nearly a decade this
country has developed no outstanding
player capable OF making a sensational
bid for the laurels. Americans have
been taking pride in the tournaments
for juniors. Seemingly the crop of
youngsters is TO arrive in perhaps an.
other year or two.
Upon the records OF the tournament
at Forest Hills, Miss Helen Willis, the
fifteen-y ear-old girl from the Pacific
coast: Miss Martha Bayard and Miss
Ceres Baker, both residents of New
Jersey, and Miss Virginia Carpenter,
the Pennsylvania girl, may be classed
as Corners 1t must be confessed
that this is not an imposing list.
The difficulties OF placing women's
lawn tennis upon the same broad basis
as that of the men has long been rec.
ognized by the officials Of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association.
Younger men and youths may easily
travel about the country. The girls OF
necessity must be properly escorted by
a chaperone.
There is another feature Of the
womens play which George Agutter,
the West Side Tennis Club profess
sional, points out. The majority of the
women hold steadily to a back-court
game. There is the need of adequate
coaching which will stabilize the net
attack and the splendidly managed
tactics exploited by Miss Mary X.
Browne. Several of the men have re-
Gently attempted to impart the secret
of bringing off volleyed strokes to Miss
Eleanor Goss, who did SO well in the
Seabright tournament.
An effort Of the same sort has been
made with Miss Helen Gilleaudeau,
whose base-line game is so nearly per
lection. The latter, however, despite
all her success and experience, appears
unable to overcome her timidity when
she ventures inside the line Of the
service court.
Unconsciously Agutter suggested
the solution of the problem. tits up
to the men In the clubs 70 teach the
women the net game. The task may
be irksome to some, but II will accom-
plish much in plac-ng the women's
competitions to the fore, especially
with the prospects OF international
competitions becoming a feature of
the program In the next year or two.

edge of the fairway. oftentimes
into no mans land We all know
the old familiar cry that comes back
from the caddie:
"Out % bounds!'.
1t is particularly annoying these
days with that extra penalty stroke.
The Best Approach.
The ball that drops onto the green
with the fade-away. rolling from left
to right towards the pin is one Of the
best shots in the game.
All of the stars play this sort of an
approach. A hooked ball to the green
is treacherous oftentimes because of
the uncertain roll. II is not an I'M
common occurrence for the little white
pill TO continue on over the green like
a scared rabbit, and play hide and
seek In the long grass.
So after due elaboration last sum-
mer, decided to reconstruct my game
and make II more like Vardon's. About
all 1 have left of the old game is my
mashie -niblick approach with the back
spin, and my putting. l use the fade
away mostly on the long iron shots to
the green. 1t is little use shooting an
iron shot to a green that is any great
distance away unless some sort of con-
troll is maintained over the ball.
1 worked this theory out a little last
fall but II was mostly on my visit to

Every duffer who has swung at q
golf ball and missed 1t, or, who has
developed that chronic hook or slice
that Is a constant source OF worry,
should take heart. There is yet hope.
Every second-rater who has been
near to winning a championship and
has repeatedly failed, should heed
this advice.
Since was a little boy carrying
clubs in my spare time and doing a
little playing on my own account on
the old st. Andrews links, was led
to believe that the only way to play

heck. ] built my game up on this
theory and although / had been able
to get fairly satisfactory results /

From Hook To Slice.
/ was continually getting into trou-
BILE by hooking my ball at times
when 1t was most aggravating. A
bad fault always does develop at the
most inopportune moment
But now II Is Jock Hutchinson the

Hutchinson the hooker. 1 must quail

mean by changing my style from a
hook to a slice is that / have follow
ed the Vardon method of play In
using the fade-away. Even from the
tee l used this shot just as Harry
does.
The fade-away can best be descrtb-
ed as a straight shot to all purposes
and intents with just a wee sus-
picion OF a slice.
On the modern golf course a tee
shot must be placed. This is more
important even than obtaining long
distance. The player who hooks
cannot always control his drive, while

Of these shots go astray.

Of run. There is such a thing as too
much run.
On a three shot hole one might
invite trouble with little too much
hook. The ball might easily find

Mike O'DOwd Has

Mike O'Dowd is ready for ac-

that has kept him idle ever since
he met Johnny Wilson last win

to find that the list Of aspirants
for the title has been increased
by two during his absence. Bry-
ant Downey has taken Mikes
place as the closest contender,
and the recent good form dis
played by the veteran Mike Glib

Should Gibraltar win today, il would
make five straight victories, and would
leave practically only the Westoyers
To consider seriously as contenders for
the title. The Westovers have won
three games and lost one.
Should the Gibraltars lose today and
win their next and final game, and the
Westovers win all their remaining
games, including the play-off of a tie,
deadlock for first place would result.
In this event, one game would be
played to decide the section champion.
Today's contest will be staged on the
knickerbocker field at Thirty-fifth
street and Wisconsin avenue north
west.
Brookmonts Have Chance.
In the Brookmonts, the Shamrocks
will meet the last real obstacle in their
way to the Section b honors. II the
Shamrocks win, it will be their fifth
straight, and the Brookmonts, who
have won two games, will be the only
team with still a chance to come
through a final victor. 1t would be
necessary for the Shamrocks to lose
their last game and the Brookmonts
To win three straight to bring about
tie. Southeast fans are expected 20
flock to Randle field, at the east end
of Pennsylvania avenue bridge, to See
this scrap. Brookmont gained 10

exhibition game some weeks ago.

Tomorrow will be big day for the
Garfields, who have won two games
and lost none, and figure they have an
excellent chance for top honors. They
will play Dominican Lyceum on the

A golfer will try for years to
attain poise on the links, and by
the time he cultivates it it has
often changed to avoirdupois.
A fat man can play golf, but he
cuts off the view of the scenic

players.
