D. c. TENNIS FANS
PLAN BANNER YEAR
Dumbarton sCIub Arranges
, Schedule; Team Makeup
In Doubt.

Tennis enthusiasts are figuring
on a banner year at the Dumbarton
Club this season. The locals made
an excellent showing against the
Yale team in their meet last week.
and figure that with a little more
practice, they will be able to mop
up in their. coming matches.
The schedule is probably the most
ever listed by a local
tennis club. Matches are being ar
ranged with the Seventh Regiment
Of New York. University of Mary
land. Johns Hopkins. Georgetown.
and Cornell. OF these. a definite
date has been set only for the
Regiment match, on May s.
A picked team from the three To-
cal clubs; Dumbarton. Columbia
and Chevy Chase. will enter in the
intercity matches to be played in
on the tenth and eleventh
of June. Richmond, Baltimore and
dioo NAVY
tive aggregations entered. The
tourney will be conducted along
the lines OF the Church Cup COM
petition. with three doubles matches
and six singles to decide the issue.
As the Chevy Chase Club is hold
ing q special invitation tournament
this year, IN which star players
alone will be asked to compete. the
Columbia and Dumbarton clubs are
now taking under consideration the
matter Of holding a spring tdurna-
ment for the District championship.
with both men and women compet-
ing. II is expected that the date will
be announced shortly.
The makeup of the Dumbarton
team Is as yet in doubt. and II is
understood that present perform
ances alone will count in determin-
ing its members. The present rank
ing Is Yencken, Gore, Charest.
Graves, with Hillyer, Mangan. John
son, Burwell and Bates fighting II
out for the two remaining positions
Yencken and Gore are the ranking
doubles team. with Foote and John
son in No. 2 position. The third pair
will probably be made up OF Graves
and Mangan, or Charest and Bur-
well.

KNICKS DEFEAT
ELKS in OPENER
Georgetown Clubmen Cross
Dope in Trimming Frater-
nal Leaguers, 6 to 8.

Georgetown's Knickerbockers up
set local Independent baseball dope
yesterday afternoon at the Hollow
when they handed the Eiks. Fra
ternal League team, a s-to-3 beat
ing.
The Elks' team. which is a 1921
model of the old Rexmen, has been
considered the. class of Washing
toms diamond independents and yes
terday were two to one favoritss
to win from the Knicks. Bill Rapp,
and his Georgetown team, however,
had little trouble in winning from
the Fraternal League team. thereby
opening their season with a victory.
Owens. pitching for the Elks, Is
considered the ace of washington's
independent hurlers, but proved easy
for the Knicks, who hoped on him
at the start of the game with such
effect that he was soon sent to the
showers.
Bryant, who followed Owens, was
not much Of an Improvement, and IL
was not long before the Elks' were
forced to send Patterson to his re-
lief.
Knicks started on in the second
inning. getting one run. and three
clean hits. Againin the fourth they
got a run. Again on clean hits.
The nth proved to be the Knicks'
big inning. They scored two runs
here. and would have more but for
some clever fielding on the part of
the Elks.
Both teams scored in the seventh,
knicks getting one run and the
Elks their initial counter. Again
In the eighth they both scored
run. Coming into the ninth the
Elks made q bid to tie the game.
but they only succeeded in getting
a single run.
Though II was a free hitting
game. the Knicks getting thirteen
and the Elks ten hits, nevertheless
IL was a pretty game to watch. as
neither team made an error, which
is more or less remarkable for SO
early in the season.
over 5000 people, biggest crowd
OF the season thus far, witnessed
the battle. The box score:

Scientific Hitting Explains
Wilson's Victories, He Says

fellow thinks his ribs are caved In
and lowers his guard and / can get
a clean shot at his chin. No, the
punch at the edge of the ribs isn't
dangerous. but 1t takes the Tight out
ofthem better than any other punch
I know. 1t doesn't do much dam
age, but II hurts, and when a fell
low thinks he's badly hurt the ef-
feet Is just as good as II he was

he's beaten and it doesn't take much
more to beat him"
Mccoy, il seems, went a little be-
yond "'natomy;" he delved in psy-
chology as well. After watching
Wilson's winning fight against
O'Dowd l imagine he works a few
psychological effects himself, al
though this is a study he may not
have pursued at Tufts.
For instance, he never retreated
from O'Dowd's rush in a straight
line. When he wanted to retreat
he took a few quick little steps
around Mike in a circle, forcing
Mike to turn around to follow him.
The effect on Mike must have been
an impression that Wilson was cir
away. Wilson always circled from
,left to right, which left his pun
ishing left hand in position to de-
liver a punch IL Mike left an open
ing.
Saw No Foul Blows
There has been a lot of talk about
O'Dowd being injured by low blows
delivered by Wilson. The injury
was probably due to some other
cause, for Wilson's punches were
fair. O'Dowd took a severe body
beating, and ran into it with no de-
fense. The injury may have been
caused by strain. I've known SINH
lar injuries from throwing or lift
ing heavy weights, from wrestling,
and in one case even from swinging
at q golf ball and missing 1t.

N0-Hit, No-Run Game

Roy Beall. the Quincy's pitching
ace. turned in the first no-hit game
CT the season Yesterday against the
Quentin Athletic Club. He turned
back eleven by way of the strikeout
route. and was at no stage of the
game in danger of being scored
upon. Only three men were able to
reach the initial shck, two on walks
and one on an error.
Walter Beall, one Of washington's
leading sandlot pitchers. was on the
mound for the Quentins. Though
not very effective the score would
have been much closer had he had
any support from his teammates SIX
errors being made by them.

THE SALVATION ARMY APPEAL

The Salvation Army is doing an important
work in this city and ought to have the support
of the citizens. 1t is a small amount that is
asked for to carry on the work for the next
year. When we consider the handsome build
ing that the army has erected here furnishing
clean. wholesome lodging for a class of men
that would otherwise be driven into filthy lodg-
ing houses. and when we learn of some of the
work the army does among the poor and the
hayward, finding homes and shelter for the out
cast, 1t would seem as if Perth Amboy might
give at least $4,000 toward keeping this work
going.
We have been extremely liberal in other
causes recently and not one has been more
worthy than the present appeal Of the Saliva
ton Army. The place OF the salvation Army
would be hard to fill in any other way.
While the work it does is not Haunted before
the public all the time, il the institution were
not here the city would soon realize it. 1t Is
only fair. then, to give this institution the sup
port it is entitled to.

EXTENDING THE PARKS

4 In line with doing something worth while for
the people of this city in this way of parks
and Fairgrounds, attention is called to the fact
that the property on Market street, between
Front and Water streets Immediately adjoining
the Bayview park property at the foot of Mar
ket street, has recent been offered for sale.
This is known az the Meredith property. it
has been tied up for a long time. but now the
estate Is to be settled and this tract must be
sold.
At the same time, it is understood that the
property Immediately adjoining Bayview park
ktha. south also can be purchased. The pur-
case of Moth these tracts by the city for the
extension of Bayview park would be a wonder
full asset to the city.
Market street between Front and water
streets is too steep to be of any use as a street.
It's width, however, including the sidewalks,
would add 100 feet or more to the park if
abandoned for park purposes, and with the
property on both sides converted into park, as
one side is already. here would be a real pleas
ure ground for the people where they could go
to overlook the water and enjoy the breezes.
The tract becomes all the more desirable with
the property Immediately south of the present
park, which is on the market, also added.
Along with this Meditih property goes the
riparian rights, 1t is understood. AS the line
for solid filing extends a considerable distance
out from the present water line at this point,
the city could, by using the ashes collected, add
to this property thereby nearly doubling its
size at practically little cost.
This Market street site has another attraction
in that by constructing a pier out from the level
OF Water street the upper part of the pier could
be used for recreation purposes while the lower
part could be used for shipping, vessels of large
size being able to dock there.
II the city fathers are wise they will take

@. What is meant by "a" "B"
and &c" vitamines?-S. b. I.
A. Vitamines stand for certain
substances which have recently been
discovered and are believed to be
necessary for the satisfactory de-
velopment of the body and for its
protection from certain diseases. The
vitamines are now believed to be OF
at least three kinds. One called "A"
is soluble in fat and is. therefore,
usually referred to as "fat-soluble
A." The other two. "B" and CO. are
soluble in water, and are therefore
often called "water-soluble B" and
"water-soluble c." The leaf vege-
tables, such as spinach and cabbage.
are especially rich in fat-soluble "a"
orange and tomato juice in water
soluble &c" and all vegetables and
fruits in w~ater-soluble "B." 1t is not
correct. however. to say that the diet
would necessarily be lacking in Wit
amines If vegetables and fruits were
not used, for f~at-soluble "A" is abun
dant in milk and its products. and
water soluble "B" in grains, parti-
cularly in the germ or the portion
of the grain near the germ. 1t is,
however, true that unless vegetables

various kinds of vitamines are al
most sure to fall below the desired
amount.
@. Will the distance that the fire.
men stand from an electric wire
make a difference in the POSSIBLE
ity of shock if the water Is thrown
on the wire?-E. J.
A. The Bureau of Standards says
If a stream of water from a hose Is
thrown upon high tension wires at
hazard from the possible conduction
of electricity by the stream Of water
back to the men holding the nozzle.
If, however, the stream of water be
thrown from a distance such that
the water breaks up into drops be-
fore coming in contact with the cleo
trical conductors. there Is little dam
ger. as such a stream Of water is
non-conducting.
@. When was Jewish New Year
last year?-T. E. N.
A. The Jewish New Year (Rosh-
ashona) in 1920 vas observed from
shutdown Monday. September IS. to
shutdown Tuesday. September IA.
@. What does the word penny
mean. as used in referring to nails?
w. c. F.
A. The term penny in connection
with nails is always used in combi-
nation with prefixed numerals, such
as fourpenny. tenpenny, etc, to form
an adjective. These adjectives o
denote certain arbitrary sizes. Or
iginally. they denoted the price per
hundred Of nails.
@. What was the size and weight
Of the Cullinan diamond "A. J. D.
A. This diamond weighed 81
024% carats or 1877 pounds. and
measured 4 inches by rs inches by
1.25 inches. 1t has been cut into
nine stones, the largest of which.
Cullinan I. weighs 516h carats.

as "solons ?"-H. c.
A. "Solon" was a very noted law
