TILTS TODAY DECIDE
VIRGINIA FLAG RACE

RICHMOND, Va, September S.-Not
| until the last men are out in the last
games of the Virginia League season
today will the 1923 pennant winners
of the circuit be decided. Wilson,
with SO games in the won column
and So in the lost. has a one point
margin over Richmond. which had
won 10 and lost So. when the Bugs
crossed bats with Portsmouth on the
latter's home grounds and Rocky
Mount attempted to gain undisputed
possession of third place from Nor
folk by taking today's game here.
The race for the pennant Is un-
paralleled in the history of the league
and is SO close that cancellation of
any of the three games on account
of, rain or other causes would ma
terially AFFECT the standing, of the
first four clubs. If the weather per-
mits the playing of the games here
and at Portsmouth. and Wilson and
Richmond both come out on the heavy
end of the scoring. the Bugs would
cop the pennant by one point for
the second successive year However.
should Wilson lose or be forced to
remain idle while Richmond won then
the Colts would hoist the pennant
here.
Norfolk by winning from Peters,
burg while Rocky Mount lost to
Richmond gould tie the Bronchos for
third-place honors with So games
won and so lost each. Portsmouth in
fifth place had won 5S and lost 81
games when they started after Will
sons scalp today. Petersburg, new
conner in the league this year, had
undisputed possession of the cellar
with AZ games to it's credit and 81
in the second column.

Answered by
r. LINDLEY MURRAY

Brilliant Ieft-handed player. National
champion, 1918. Winner of national
patriotic singles tournament, 1917.
Famed for his speed, especially in
serving.
The reverse twist service is near
ly the opposite of the regular Amer
ican twist serve. The left foot is
placed two or three inches in back
of the base line but pointing approx
imately toward the net. The swing
is started with the racket stretched
out about horizontally to the right.
It is swung upward and diagonally
forward in counter clockwise arc
so that it passes above and in front
the servers face When the racket
meets the ball, which has meanwhile
been thrown only about two feet
over the head, it imparts to it a re-
verse twist, the left part of the ball
turning toward the net. This causes
the ball to curve to the right and to
bounce sharply to the left, as shown
in the diagram above.
("What are the commonest faults
in serving?" Manuel Alfonso will
tell here tomorrow.)
