TENNIS S|NGLES
WILL BRING OUT
WORLD SbEST.
Events Starting September 9 to
To Decide International
Champion.
BY JACK VEIOCk.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The victor
in the coming national tennis singles
championship scheduled to start ct
the Germantown Cricket Club, Phila-
delphia, September .. will have a
clear claim to the International
championship and should be recog-
nized the worlds greatest player.
Bin Tilden, who successfully lie
Tended his international title in the
recent tournament at Wimbledon,
will be among the entries. He will
defend his national championship.
Any player who beats him out by
winning this title should be recog-
nized as the king of international
tennis as well, as the coming event
will be the biggest international tour
ney ever staged, according TO indica'
tons today.
In addition to Americas best play.
ers there will be the members of
the. British, Australian, Japanese,
Danish, and Indian Davis Cup teams.
All of these players have signified
their intentions of entering.
With such players as Tilden, Bill
Johnston, Watson Washburn, Vim.
cent Richards, r. n. Williams, Chuck
Garland. Sam Hardy, Willie Davis, of
California, and the kinzy brothers,
also from the Pacific coast, pittcd
against the foreign stars, the tennis
fan will get thrills enough to last
throughout the winter.
There Is an outside chance that
Andre Colbert. French champion, ).
B. I. Norton. the South African star.
and Manuel Alonzo, crack Spanish
player, may make a flying trip across
the Atlantic.
without these players, however,
the foreign entrants will be able to
furnish some stiff opposition to the
Americans.
woosnsm, Lowe and Turnbul, OF
the British Davis Cup four, will
rnakea bid for the championship, as
will Peach, Todd, Hawkes. and An
derson, of the Australian team. An
derson is regarded as one of the
worlds best players. The Japs,
Shimidzu and Kumagae; Sleem, OF
the Indian team, and Ingersley,. OF
the Danish team, will bear watching
also.

Grifs and Tigers
Now Clash in
Three Games

DETROIT. Aug. 23.-George
McBride's Washington Griffmen
open a series of three games here
today with the Tigers, and some
trouble is expected before they
reach a conclusion. The Griffs
have just grabbed two out of three
from the White Sox, while the
Tigers cleaned up the Mackmen
three straight. Dutch Leonard or
Red Oldham will probably be called
upon to face Walter Johnson, who
was saved in Chicago for this con-
test.
DOME Bush is sure of a welcome
from the Navin field fans. The
midget infielder recently sent to
Washington is a prime favorite
here, and his friends are pulling
for Mcbride to use him against the
Tigers.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 23.-For-

are expected to be posted today

The revised revenue bill leaves that
slight detail as clear as synthetic
gin. All a $3.50 baseball will cost
the average kid is $3.50 plus two
busted fingers and a couple of broken
noses. Besides that, he'll bat the
thing through every pane oil glass

will hope the next place he bats the
ball is down the sewer.
Public Wants to Know
Where Craps Belong.
The nimble little gnomes who
mold our laws failed to designate
whether or not a misery tax should
be slapped on the ancient and hon
orable darb of craps or the purchase
Of paraphernalia therefor.
In other chatter, Is salloping
freckles a highbrow or a roughneck
game? Is its character such that
only the wealthy can cultivate II
and that it should be adorned with
per cent mortgage. On first
guess. we should say that only the
very vulgar rich can keep pace with
the innocent recreation. The major
ity of the citizenry will lose suffi-
cient at the game itself, without be-
the mere offense of buying a two
piece set of cubicsl smallpox.
Also the proposed law is slightly
hideous az to another harmless
novelty which has the nation look
ing cross-eyed. Does the electric
needle get applied to this here
hump-backed game Of tdddletop?
Law doesn't specify and country is
worrying itself bowlegged.
Teetotum Seems to BE
Absolute Necessity.
Question is whether teetotum is
a luxury or necessity. Judging
from the number OF people who
are addicted to It, you'd think II is
a household commodity. What We
want to know is. does the tax
poultice apply to Put and Take?"
How about a blackjack? There
is another implement of diversion
that ought to be peddled out to
the public without any entangling
influence. If blackjack isn't
sporting goods, then buckshot isn't
ammunition. Whoever heard of go-
ing to a Saturday afternoon picnic
without each hand loaded with at
least one complete edition of that
species OF athletic forgery? II Is
much smaller than a boxing glove
and much more effective. The first
blow always produces a knock
out which saves the time of the
referee, fighters and audience alike.
Before Congress puts the final
stitch In that bill and before Prexy
Harding slsps his Spencerian cog
nomen on the act. let Congress
define loosely what II considers
agony sports" and which it deems
unnecessary or luxurious.
