Neither the Navy nor Washington
rowed in the approved manner. That
adds so much to speed over a measur-
ed course was lacking in the midship-
men and west coast crews. Yet they
got there. They finished one. two at
Poughkeepsie. Both sets Of oarsmen
picked up their shell, hurled it for
all the way down tha course. 1t did
not reflect the best rowing form. But
mono of the orthodox eights was
around when they finished.
What is the answer? 1t is simple
enough. In athletics, as in life gen
orally. there appear from time to
time men or groups of men who are
above those finicking details of tech
nique. those meticulous dictates of
form by which lesser breeds are de-
altered to f1t the supermen. but in
the case of the general run of ath-
letics they must stand as ironclad.
Next year when the Navy rows. 1.-THE
chances are you will see a crew that
has to depend a great deal more upon
the scientific principles Of propulsion,
established and sanctioned through
all the years of acquatics. than upon
sheer power. The fact that the 1922
midshipman crew happened to be
above tie law of precept by no means
proved the law false.
1t was the function of Suzanne
Lenglen to demonstrate that the
ability of power and driving force to
violate rules was not universal in
this summer season of 1922. Her
finesse, her exact technique, turned
aside the slugging Molla Mallory
even as the expert fencer turns aside
the point of a less skilled if more
rugged aversary. And. oh. Molla.
why did you fling that collection of
alibis in the face of the world?
In all this world upheaval. the
the suggestion of Baron de Couber-
tin, made at the end of the war
namely. to erect a marble monument
celebrating the re-establishment of
the Olympic. games and glorifying the
baron's work. The Greeks have
more pressing problems than erect
ing monuments to sport.
So have the French, who, however,
are beginning to awaken to the fact
that it would be unwise to let some
country take the next Oily mpic games
away. The government is interested
and is beginning to make some finan-
cial provision. We of this country
should appreciate that anything done
for Germany's payments do not begin
to equal the money France is paying
out in repairing war devastation.
Americans thus should understand
that there is no lack of sportsman

DOUBLES FINAL TODAY !.

Play in the twenty-fourth annual
District of Columbia tennis cham
pionships will end this afternoon with
the match in which Clarence NJ.
Charest. singles champion, and Col.
Wait c. Johnson will oppose Mai.
Arthur Yencken and Arthur HELEN
for the doubles title. They are to
take the Dumbarton Club courts at
1870 o'clock.
Both pairs advanced to the ultimate
round yesterday. Charest and john
son vanquished J. A, Purinton amid
Gould Lincoln, 2-6, IS, 6-1, in
what promised to be a hotly con-
tested match, but which later devel-
oped into a one-sided affair. when
Purinton and Lincoln found the pace
too severe. Lincoln. who has played
little tennis this year, was in no
condition to Withstand the heat, and
Purinton, although playing brilliant
ly, could not Withstand single handed
the attacks of the opposition.
Yencken and HELEN had to go
through two matches to reach the
final. In a fifth-round affair they
defeated J. Howard Hixson and A. L.
Knapp, Go, 6-1, in rather easy
manner. but had to struggle to over
come Lou Doyle and William Bal
linger, 6-2, Is, in a semi final.
HELEN was the star of the match.
His partner appeared to be a trifie
'off form, probably because of the
strenuous schedule through which he
recently has played.

1t Is n curious fact that the great
run of public interest in the outcome
of the Molla Mallory Suzanne Leng-
len tennis duel trended toward en-
thusiasm for the French girl. This
has been the report from all sources
where inquiry was made concerning
the outcome of this match. The
anomaly may be accounted for only
upon the ground of general belief
that Lenglen was ungenerously
treated when she played in this coun-
try last summer.
Lenglen may have uttered many of
the statements credited to them, the
alleged remark of Suzanne that she
feared Miss Ryan more than she did
Molla Mallory had at least the virtue
of being a true and frank sporting
statement.
In thus giving credit to the game of
the California girl-aSsuming she did
give credit as above set forth-Su-
zanne was doing nothing out of the
way. nothing to which any one could
take exception. 1t was legitimate
opinion.
Armand Massey says that when a
man has mastered the Cleek he can
call himself a golfer. Yes and Mas
sey should have added that when a
man masters the wind he is genius.
Playing the wind is Massey's strong
point. All are afraid of the French
player in gale.
At Hoylake once, playing under
gale conditions, he sent away his
shots as a man sails boat: that is.
with utter Difference to the direction
and character of the wind.
But to return to the cleek. 1t is a
grand club, but it has gone into the
discard. Harry Hilton made the
spoon popular. His opponents were
always afraid of him when he took
out that weapon. Now almost every
golfers bag has spoon in it and a
driving iron, but no cleek.
