FRANCE NAMES TEAM
FOR DAVIS CUP PLAY

France has named Jean Borotra
Andre II. Colbert, Jean Couiteas and
Jean Cochet as it's team for the Davis
Cup matches. This news of the Off
cial selections was cabled to the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion. In the opinion of Samuel
Hardy, former Davis Cup team cap
tain, the French nominations are
formidable.
Because Of the defaults OF Canada
and Japan In the first round of the
international series France and Italy
advance to the second round. This
brings France against Denmark. The
known form OF the Frenchmen, in
the opinion Of Hardy, should bring
them through to the semi.finals.
COchet has a remarkable back court
game and volleys we'll Coulteas is
considered the best of the four at
doubles and all are desirous of
coming to this country.

SAM JONES LOSE
To OLD BARNEY
Joe Judge Gets Homer That
Ties Up Score in Eighth and
Scores Winning Run.

After spotting the Yanks to a
three-run lead yesterday the Griffs
came from behind to tie the score in
the eighth inning and eventually
hammered out their second victory
over the Rupert Huston forces in
three bitterly contested engage
ments here. The score was to 5,
with Joe Judge whose homer had tied
the count in the eighth, toting the
winning run across in the tenth.
The game early resolved itself into
pitching duel in which Sam Jones
was having all the better of the
veteran Walter Johnson until the
blowoff came in the eighth.
Partly because of ideal weather
and partly because of Babe Ruth s
return to the Yanks' batting order
the contest drew a crowd that filled
the stands to capacity and numbered
close to $4,000. The Behemoth of
Bust couldn't make a hit in five
times at bat, but his former com.
panion in exile, Bob Meusel, peeled
off three long hits in four times up,
a single in the second a triple in the
sixth and a double at the start of the
ninth

HOPE IN YOUNG
TENNIS TALENT
Junior Players Expected to Re-
gain John Bulls Prestige
on Court.

England's tennis future is an all
just now. Following the example
OF the lawn tennis authorities here,
unusual interest is taken in the
juniors in n concerted attempt to
make future effort to retrieve
Great Britain's lost tennis prestige.
S. Powell Blackmore. the English
tennis critic says: The prospects
for the future are brighter than for
many years. Almost everywhere
there is manifest a keen desire 10
begin Alright. and A. e. Beamish. the
instructor at Roehampton. is be-
sieged by parents with boys and
girls to be coached.
"Patball is clean out Of fashion
with the school of coming players.
Hitting is the popular vogue of 1922,
and as the hard court game gets
more and more sought for, so will
the stroke play become speedier.
Youngsters never will" continues
Mr.. BlaCkmore, develop into mod.
ern champions on the wretched grass
courts OF the average English club.
Hard courts may be the salvation
Of English lawn tennis reputation.
The question Of proper training
and instru, tion is getting consider
able attention. F. NJ. B. Fisher says:
1 believe most tennis teachers start
off with the idea that they must at
once proceed to tell the young
player what TO do
I'm truth. one ought to be scrupu.
lously careful first to find out what
the young player can do off his own
bat. One has to take care not to
retard the natural development OF
a good shot, however weirdly 1t may
be hit"

OFFICIALS
GIVEN SEVERE
BANS BY JUDGE
Portland MoguIs Draw All the
Way From 2-Months to 2
Year Suspensions.

CHICAGO. May 29.-The most
drastic punishment ever inflicted
upon club owners for violation OF
the rules OF organized baseball has
been meted out to two officials OF
the Portland club of the Pacific
Coast League by Judge X. NJ. Ian
dis, baseball commissioner. it be
came known today.
William H. Klepper, president OF
the club, was suspended until jan
uary l, 1925; James l.. Brewster,
vice president. was suspended until
January /. 1924. and the suspension
of William Kenworthy, manager,
was continued until August ], 1922.
The charge against the officials
was that they encouraged kenwor'
thy in his refusal to report to the
Seattle club so that he might force
his transfer to Portland, where his
services as manager were desired.
-Kenworthy piloted the Seattle club
last year Klepper and Brewster
were former officials OF the Seattle
club.
