In former times American players
made a study of doubles play and
this. according to the testimony OF
Tilden, is something that is not done
today. We do not know the game, he
says.
On the very courts at Seabright
where our present stars are disport-
ing themselves in singles and doubles
have been seen teams whose names
will strike a reminiscent spark with
in the breasts OF the old-time tennis
enthusiast, who will recall the in
terest with which doubles play was
followed, an interest, as it seems now
at any rate. hardly less keen than
was manifested in singles play.
Sears and Slocum, the great
Dohertys from England, the Hun
tingtons, Bell and Behr, Hackett and
Alexander, Ward and Davis, the
Wrenn brothers, Mclaughlin and
Bundy, Little and Touchard and later
Johnston and Griffin. These are some
of the great teams that come to
mind.
The furore which the Dohertys
caused when they came here will be
remembered but, as memory goes, it
seems to have been their doubles
brilliancy and. in science, that was
most talked about
When well played, doubles in ten
mis- Is a very spectacular game and
the field for strategy, coordination
and the like is very large. 1t is re-
grettable that doubles play as a
dehnite art has declined as it has.

Scout Joe Engel is here comforting

Mogridge landed a pitch on Burns

nasty pitch to be made from deep
clover.
This was exactly the situation in
which l found myself. l had gotten
distance of about 240 yards, but
was some 20 or 80 yards Off the
green. The clover was long and
tangled, but there was a chance that
it was not so tough but that could
cut through it. 1 decided not to play
it safe, short of the creek, but to
forget that hazard, together with
steep banks at the rear of the green
which would be troublesome II 1
went over it-and shoot for the pin.
Facing the green, one played to a
surface that sloped upward at the
rear and downward at the left. 1
aimed my niblick to the right or the
flag. The ball landed in just the
right spot, curled gently around and
pumped into the cup for a z.
If / had found the ditch / would
have been in for a 5. possibly a 6.
Instead gained ground on my
nearest opponents, Walter Hagen
and Freddie Mcleod. / won the title
with nine strokes to spare over the
pair of them.
incidentally that shot permitted me
to finish with a 289, the second total
under 290 in the history OF American

Teeing off at the first hole OF the
final round of the 1921 national open
tournament at the Columbia Coun-
try Club, Washington, i was leads
ing the field by six strokes. The
title looked to be coming my way.
But you never can tell. Even with
lead like that you're never safe.
Slip a cog or two and somebody
comes flashing down the line with
brilliant better-than-par score and
the milk Is spilled.
Reaching the second hole, I wasn't
exactly upset when l sliced my drive
into deep rough. but I must confess
was strong with the possibility of
losing a good deal more of my lead
than was pleasant.
Here is picture OF the second
hole at Columbia: The tee is set
upon a plateau-like surface which,
about $50 yards down the fairway,
suddenly drops steeply to bottom
lands skirting small creek, direct
ly beyond which lies the green. 1t
is about 800 yards from tee to nag,
so that a correctly placed drive leads
you short of the creek and with an
easy pitch to the green.
With the exception OF the creek,
there is no particular obstacle to be
overcome. But it is well not to
slice the ball, because the plateau
bends in at the right toward the
stream and your slice, instead OF
getting you to the bottom land. will
leave you on high ground, with

Because Chicago was too sports

When their ninth-inning rally fell
one run shy, the Cubs were nosed out
by Philadelphia, IL to II, in a slug

batting cyclone.

New York's first win over Chicago
by 8 to 3 was due more to the White
Sox's ineffective hitting than the
Yanks' superiority. but the Hugmen
left no doubt in the minds of their
opponents as to the positive quality
of their offensive in the nightcap,
which they clinched in the first inning
by chasing 10 runs over the plate and
ultimately won by IL to 10. In that
hectic opening session Babe Ruth dou-
bled off Mangum and hit his 31st
