STARS.PLAY
NEXT WEEK
Williams, of Yale, to Be Present
to Defend Title Won
Last Year.

Practically every well-known col
lege in the country will be repre-
scented in the national intercollegiate
tennis championships to be. played
at the Merton Cricket Club, Phila-
delphia, the week of June rs. This
years tournament promises to be
the best in the history OF the event.
Entries from Stanford, California
State, Texas University and Wash
ington University, at st. Louis, are
virtually assured, while the Oxford
Cambridge combined team has al
ready cabled its entry. An inter
national flavor is thus certain to be
connected with the weeks compe'
tition.
A number of outstanding stars
will be present when the first-round
matches are staged. next Monday.
Lucien Williams. of Yale, last years
champion, will be on hand to defend
his title. Arnold Jones, also of
teges, is expected to figure promi-
nently.
The intercollegiate usually are
featured by some Ntartling upsets.
It would not be a distinct surprise

share. Wray Brown, of st. Louis.
the finalist against Williams, proved
to be the sensation of last year,
bowling over Emerson, of Columbia;
Wheeler, of Yale. and westbrook,
Of Michigan, on three successive
days. In all probability Brown will
be among those drawn on Saturday
evening.
In connection with the intercol-
legiates, the first national inter
scholastics will be played at Merton
This event will be open to all pre-
paratory school students and will
surely draw large and select entry.
John Whitbeck. Of Loomis Institute,
the winner of both the Yale and
Harvard interscholastics, is the out
standing favorite for this junior
title.

But four players in the history OF
the national open have been for
tunate enough to win the title for
second time. Willie Anderson, OF
Apawarnis, leads the field, with
four conQuests in the event. He
won his first at Myoia in 1901,
was out of the charmed circle in
1902, but came right back in 1908,
1904 and 1905 with brilliant con-
quests.
J. j. McDermott, of Atlantic City,
is one of the quartet to be returned
q two-time winner of the classic.
He scored over a classy field at
Wheaton, in 1911, in three-cor-
nered tie with Matt Brady and
George o. Simpson, winning the
play-off. He repeated in 1912.
Walter Hagen and Alex Smith
are the only others who have ever
led the field upon two occasions.
Smith triumphed in 1905, and 1t
was four years, or i'm 1910, be-
fore he again topped the list.
Hagen's first national champion
shin came as far back as 1914.
In that year he barely nosed out
Chick Evans by one stroke, the
totals being 200 and 291.. In 1919
Hagen tied with Matt SSrady, at
Brae Burn, with 3O1 strokes, and
in the play-off won, II to IS. This
made the second time Brady had
tied for the championship and was
defeated in the deciding round which
followed.

Did Bush yield to the clamor?
Did he pull out his young, ambiti-
GUS thirdsacker? Did he substitute
Pat Charity or the energetic Pink
Hargrave? He most certainly did
not.
The wee Washington manager
ran in from his coaching berth at
third base. He gave Bluege en-
couraging words. He told him he
could hit it. He waved his hands.
He perspired. The back of his neck
grew red. And Bluege stayed in
the game.
What did Bluege do? Why's cast
ing aside all thought of his recent
batting slump, remembering only
the encouragement from his man.
ager, the youngster slashed a
double down the third base line,
scoring Harris.
The crowd went mad then and
there. 1t forgot how it had booed
the sweating Griffs inning after
inning. 1t forgot how it had called
for Clark Griffith to warm up. It
forgot how it had demanded that
Bush send Charity or Hargrave 10
bat. 1t simply roared it's praise for
Ossie Bluege.
III Ossie BIuege' needed any
thing to tell him his place in the
ranks of the Griffs, he got it yes
terday when DOME Bush, knowing
how to bring out that needed self
confidence, let him face the
crumbiing Sherry Smith,. Bluege
should no more fear the terrOrs
Of batting slump.
1t may be that, with the team
falling to finish higher than
seventh this season, Clark Griffith
may feel inclined to blame much
upon Bush. We hope not.
Bush showed yesterday wonder
full knowledge of baseball players,
especially young ones. Further
more, he showed all the courage fer
which he has a reputation. He
could have taken the easier way,
pulling out Bluege and substituting
some other man with better repu-
tation as a pinch hitter. But he
preferred to bring out the slumber-
ing possibilities in his young third
sacker.
Bluege might have been injured
irrepayably by being replaced in
that pinch. Quiet and seldom
speaking, nevertheless the young
man has no empty head. He might
have pondered a great deal over his
slump, making it the worse for the
bordering. AS it is. he may now
believe himself safely out of the
doldrums and once more a hitting
athlete.
The Griffs won, Z to 6. with two
out in the ninth. The tale of their
winning makes good reading But
somehow, to us Bush's sticking to
his young inIielder and that lads
brilliant blow in the pinch was the
outstanding feature Of the long,
warm afternoon.
DOME Bush is a bench manager.
He can't play in the field for the
blunderers. He can't hit for rhe
winters. He can't pitch for the
throwers on his hurting corps, but
he can show insight into the
hearts of men, even as he did yes
terday This. to our weak mind,
IL a sign of managerial ability.
Furthermore, to make this
more birding, we would say the
same, even though Bluege had
famed. They hire pitchers to
fan opponents, just as they hire
hitters to slam the pitchers.
Thus not always can one hit
safely. But Bush gave Bluege
confidence in himself by show
ing he himself cOnfided in the
lad. That's what counts.

fans saw a thriller, though slow to
get under way. Fir six frames
Sherrod Smith. the veteran south
paw, looked like a perfect pitching
machine. Rice hit safely in the
first inning and Ruel got q life
on a wide peg by Lutzke in the
second and those two birds were
the only Griffs to reach first in
all those innings.
Meanwhile, Warmoth and Zachery
had been performing wretchedly,
the Indians collecting five runs OFF

Lutzke's two-bagger and Jamieson's
single had counted run In the
second. Goslin's excusable muff
had put Guisto on second in the
third to score when Joe Connolly
poled home run to the corner in
left field. A pass to Sewell and
Lutzke's homer to left center count

Two were down and all seemed lost.
But ii wasn't, not by a darned
sight
Muddy Ruel jammed a single to,
left and Joey Evans slammed an
other to center. Bucky Harris de-
livered a punch to right for two
bases and three runs were over.
Then came Ossie Bluege's slump
crashing double down the third
base line. scoring Harris.
With the tying run on second
and one ball pitched to Pat Char
rity, hitting for BrilIheart, Smith
took his departure. George Uhle,
half warmed up, came in and
passed Charity and Rice, filling
the bases. When he walked Peck,
BIuege tied the score and Jim
Edwards, a tall aouthpaw, rcplac-
ed Uhle, retiring GOslin on roll

In the ninth, with two gone. Tur-
key Brewer replaced Louis Guisto
at the plate amid wild acclaim
from the fans who always cheered
him even when striking out for the
Griffs, showing the force of a pleas
ant personality.
Brewer poled what should have
right But, gosh heck, that ball
hoped through an eight-inch aper-
ture between the fence and the sign
board and went for a home run.
The Indians were ahead.

Goslin burned a single off Ed.

the tying run. Rice overran third,
and was snuffed out, leaving Peck
on third and Goslin on second.
Judge merely fouled to Brewer, but
Muddy Ruel, a good hitter in tight
places. brought home the bacon
with Peck's tally when he singled
cleanly to center field.
