CERBAULT AGAIN
 IN TENNIS MEET
COl0rful French Star Wires Entry At Last
 Minute

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Blue sparks crackled from the French lines wireless receiving business Thursday and spelled out a message from Alain Jacques Ger bault, the lone prowler of the seven seas, asking the United States Lawn Tennis association to consider him an entrant in the national mems singles championship tournament at Forest Hills.
 The show begins August 25, but the entries close Friday and Gerbault, one of the most romantic wayfarers of the age, was just under, the wire with his entry. Manuel Alonso, the Spanish Davis cup player, sent his entry by cable and three Americans of high standing in the sport made belated appearance in the list. They are Har- vey ,Snodgrass, Walter Westbrook and Wray Brown. Three Canadians, mem bers of the Dominion Davis cup team, also landed late, Willard Crocker, Jack Wright and David Morrice. 4sA&
 Inasmuch as French, Chinese. Japan. csc, Spanish, Australian, Canadian and Mexican tennis stars are entered. The United States Lawn Tennis association makes hold the claim that the Amer ican champion of 1924 will be the actual champion of the world.
 Gerbault is on board the steamship Paris coming to New York as a mem Der of the French Davis cup team, which is to play the winner of the American zone preliminaries for the right to meet the United States in the cup final. He is not likely to play in the Davis cup matches, except, perhaps,

What advantages or disadvantages arc there fin using al1 y0uR strength in driving A ball7
 Answered by
 IRA COUGH Western junior amateuP champion in 1923 and champion of Chicago District Golf association in 1022.
 
 There are no advantages that know of in using all your strength when driv- ing a ball. and the disadvantage arc so numerous that I am afraid 1t Is a one sided argument. The most noticeable fault to find Is the loss. of balance, and good balance is very essential factor In accurate driving. When one uses al. his strength to drive. ball the result is obviously a tightening of the muscles and loss of balance. and. the result is always poor shot. It Is nice to be able to hit a ball hard when in a bad sit- uation in a match, but it Is most mad visabie to try such a hazardous risk un- less in the most difficult of circumsta nees. The one thing that has been drilled into All golfers since the beginning of time Is Keep your eye on the ball." and this Is most impossible when trying to hit the bali too hard. f ,, (Copyright, 1894, Associated Editors, Inc. ]

CASINO, NEWPORT, R. I. Aug. 14.-Norman E. Brookes, the nestor of Australian lawn tennis, and Bryan J. c. Norton, former South African Da- wis cup star, shared the honors with two Californians in winning places in the semi-final round of the Casino cup singles on the turf courts here today. Brookes, the 47-year-old master of the racquet, m easy strokes defeated Jonn F. Whitbeck, Bronxville, N. Y., 6-4, 60. Y
 Norton fought his way through two rounds. He began by defeating Will liam J. Clothier, Philadelphia, national champion of 1908, 7-5, 2-6, GA.
 To gain the semi-finals he outplayed Lewis N. White of the University of Texas, 3-6, 6-2, GA.
 William NJ. Johnston, San Francisco and Harvey Snodgrass, Los Angeles, gained the other brackets. Little Bill," of the Davis cup defense, was forced to the limits of his game to de feat Dr. George King, New York, 6-2 5-7, 6-3.
 Snodgrass, playing with cycIoniC speed at drive and volley, simply over. whelmed Clarence J. Griffin, San Fran. cisco. The tally was GO, 6-3.
 All vestige of an international con. test was eliminated from the doubles. The best match as the field narrowed to an all-American affair was that in which Louis N. White and Louis l.. Thalheimer, University of Texas, na- tional intercollegiate champions, con- quered Norman E. Brookes and R. E. Schlesenger, Australia, 4-6, 9-6, 6-2.

ACIPCO TO PLAY
 SOUTHERN BELL
Avondale Park Has DOu- bIe Bill With Sloss-
 men

Acipco clashes Saturday with South ern Bell in the feature game of the City Leagues weekly schedule. The Tele- pioneers are, of course, doped to win, but their opponents are very strong and could easily pull an upset. Another high light is the Avondale-Sloss double bill, slated for the formers grounds.
 Southern Bell has lately been getting in several games during the week and, as consequence, is going at probably her fastest clip of the year. Shaw's pitchers have needed more work than they have been getting. He has three first class tossers, but they, all should be worked at least every week, which is impossible, ordinarily, in the local amateur wheel.
 Duncan and Mitchell, right handlers, and Morris, southpaw, have developed into about the best all-around staff in the circuit. None of them was very much above par the first month, but since then they have been winning prac- tically every time out. Morris is a likely choice to open this week. Davis is due for the Ardis team, but Big Tom" himself might take the hill in an effort to pull his team up.
 
 Alabama Power has another forfeit from Yellow Cab, while East Lake will be pitted against Sayreton. The Lakers are favorites. Sayreton cracked wide open after their threat to retire from the loop, but last week made an excellent showing in their 80 loss to Alabama Power, so this weeks contest should be closely contesteds @ss
 Sloss' loss to Neal Grocegs company was by far the biggest surprise of the year. Now that the By-Pr6dncts team has been proved beatable, i would be no shock if they ran into more stren- uous going from now on. xAyondale has played their best game all season against the loop toppers, and 1t is not improbable that they will scare lem bad ly this time. The schedule: 3I.

 Gerbault is the man who tied loose from a small port in France unnoticed and alone in a 10-foot racing cat-boat one summer morning in 1923 and landed in New York 142 days later, ex- hausted and emanciated, but victorious over the sea in it's worst moods.
