TENNIS PROGRESSES
RAPIDLY this YEAR

According to athletic goods dealers
in the city, Richmond has had a Won
derful year in tennis play. They de-
clare that the interest shown in the
game never has been shown as it has
the past summer. This fact is due
largely to the stimulus give the game
last summer by the Community Sery-
ice.
The Community Service again as
sumed the responsibility of caring for
the Earlham college tennis courts il
return for the privilege of using them.
To meet the expense 20 tennis play
ers of the city joined the Community
Tennis association and paid member
ship dues totalling S107. Tournaments
were conducted July 4 in conjunction
with the Fourth of July celebration
and the Wayne county mems tennis
doubles championship on Labor day.
Courts Supervised
Community Service has supervised
the Twenty-second street tennis courts
for the school department. These
courts have been in constant use.
During the middle of the season
construction was started on the new
junior high schoo! which interfered
seriously with the use of the Twenty
second street courts. About the same
time Earlham college selected five
tennis courts as a site for its new
indoor athletic field The Glen Mil
Ter park courts never have been in
good condition. Much of the playing
during the summer has been under
| the seyerest handicaps. 1t is estimat
ed by athletic goods dealers that the
increase of tennis playing in the city
has been fully 80 per cent.

the installation of outside drinking
fountains on each playground. The
discipline on the grounds was excel

The playground progr~~' was not

the lack of special instructors. The

ers to take the Davis Cup international
team tennis trophy back to their coun-
try, failed when the deciding matches
were played on the turf courts of the

William NJ. Johnston, of San Fran

Gerald L. Patterson, ace of the Austral-
ian challengers. Johnston won straight
sets, 60, 90, 81.
Johnston is Steady
Patterson was brilliant in his play
with Johnston, but the latter's steadi-
ness and accuracy refined supreme al
all stages of the game. Patterson s
back hand stroke was working fine
and much better than against Tilder
on Friday. Johnston soon learned this
and drew Patterson into a deep court
game. Johnston's drives were deeper
He went to the net but few times.
In the second match, Tuesday, An

Phil DOUGLAS MUST
TAKE HIS MEDICINE

Phil Douglas has no chance to get
back into organized baseball. Even
though he may have reasons to say
and prove that he didn't know what
he was doing when he wrote his fish
ing letter" he admits writing it. To
let him back in the game would es-
tablish a precedent that would make
it impossible to deal drastically with
any similar work in the future.
Some fans believe that Douglas was
punished too severely. John Heydler,
president of the National league, said
he had been asked by several persons
if the punishment could not have been
made lighter. He replied that the at
titude of the league officials was that
Douglas was unfortunate, but that no
mercy could be considered if the game
is to be kept clean.
Giants Acted Quickly.
When more than 100000 fans will
sign a petition to permit the Black
Sox to return to baseball. it is not
surprising that some consider a fine
or reprimand sufficient punishment
for Douglas.
The New York club is entitled to 4
lot of credit for taking such prompt
action in confronting Douglas with the
evidence and placing him at once on
the ineligible list. However. there are
other angles to be considered. The
letter first fell into the hands OF
Branch Hickey, manager of the St
Louis Cardinals. The Giants could
have done nothing else without the
consent of St Louis.
1t would seem that the one most
dangerously involved was the player
who received the letter, and he Is
entitled to the greatest credit fol
turning it over to the officials. If thai
letter had gotten into other hands be
fore it came to the writer he would
| have had a terrible time proving him
self innocent.
The best thing that could happier
in the future would be to get evidence
against the gamblers who have ap
preached players in the past and viii
! do it again in the future.
| Douglas claims that he was Offered
/ to throw games in the New York
Pittsburg series last August which
practically decided the Nationa
| league pennant and that he was als'
offered money to throw games in th'
world series with the Giants.
Douglas could do much to get him
self back in the good graces of tn
fans if he would name his tempters
and he could do a whole lot to keeI
baseball free if its greatest menac
in the future.
If a couple of big gamblers could b
sent UP the road for a term, their fel
low workers would be very slow abou
approaching players.
President Heydler says he is of tn
opinion that gambling had no connec
ton with the Douglas case, and tina
the banished Giant pitcher was simpl
inspired by a motive of reveng
against McGraw.

NatIonaI Game PopuIar


The national game had considerable
popularity in Richmond this summer
Four leagues were organized at the
beginning of the season. Two of these
fell by the way side, but tue other two
have had very successful season.
The Commercial league played about
20 games before it finished its season.
This league lacked the interest which
marked it the year before. The teams
for the most part were mixed groups
of players, who had little in common.
The managers found that their players
were not dependable, and after many
disappointments it seemed better to
stop playing.
Industrial This league, which was
so successful last year started playing
about May /. In the first six or eight
games the Atlas Underwear company
demonstrated their superiority and the
remaining teams conceded them the
