TENNIS MATCH
FOR MUNY
PLAYERS
Games Arranged With Clifton
Park Team For Sep
TENDER IA or n
By ROSS L. CONKLHN.

With the lure Of an intereity
match with the Clifton Park tennis
team dangling before them, the
municipal tennis players Of Wash.
ington are hurrying through their
tournament. Under the watchful
eye of Louis I. Doyle, the munich
pal METERS are putting in, every
spare hour on the courts, wagtns
merry combat with each other.
In fact, the waging has been so
merry that but few Of the original
eighty-one entrants are left and
those few are groggy. Between now
and Saturday night there will be
one man left by his lonesome. and
he will be the only municipal ten,
mis- champion. Sunday the finals
OF the doubles will be played.
Both final matches will be played
or the Potomac Park courts and
Lou will be there to see that
everything goes along properly.
Being great little one to observe
even the most minute details, Mfr.
Doyle will probably note several
things.
Telephone communication with
r. j. Robinson, of the Clifton Park
team, enabled Lou to arrange for
dates on which the match will be
played. Because of the admitted
ipferiority of the Clifton Park
courts, all matches will be played
here.
The dates suggested by Mr.. Rob.
iLson We're September IA and Sop.
TENDER 81. Both these dates are
Sundays.
The first proposal made to Lou
was that there should be ten
singles and five doubles matches
on September IL. The second was
that there should be two days OF
play, with six singles and three
doubles matches being played on
each date. The former proposal
was favored by Mr.. Doyle and it
will likely be adopted.
In that case, the Baltimore team
will come here September Ia, with
six men. The expenses are to be
split half and halt
The mooted question is: What
happens to the cup which was
offered by the Times last year,"
Some contend thai this cup was
to be played for each year, while
others said that it belonged to the
Clifton Park team. because OF its
victory. in the first match. The
question will be threshed out when
Clifton Park officers confer with
Mr. Doyle.
The makeup Of the Washington
team is not yet known, because Of
the preliminary ste sc Of the tourna.

used and the players use them

"The fans are having the tine

ball games and the scoreboards

never so tickle as they are in
the present crisis. They cheer
when opponents are leading the

There is a wide difference of
opinion about where the world

And Here's Another.

~ N the editorial page of the
u New York World yesterday
~ appeared the following ed
itorial, entitled, "A Worlds Series
in Washington:
president Coolidge has made
it known through the usual White
House spokesman that he thinks
the people of the United States
generally should be interested in
having Washington win the Amer
lean League pennant and enter
tain a world series. He hopes
to attend the opening game in
that event.
Popular interest in having
Washington win it's first baseball
pennant derives in large part
from a desire to have Walter
Johnson pitch in world series
before his career in the major
leagues is closed. Johnson is now
in his eighteenth season, has been
with Washington ever since he
came up from the minor leagues,
and, despite the handicap of a
team that never has won a pen
nant. has. been generally recog-
nized as the greatest pitcher of
his time.
"When, a few days ago, after
having held the New York team
scoreless for seven innings, he
had to leave the game because Of
an injury to- his pitching hand, a
New York crowd rose to it's feet
and give him what veteran base
ball reporters describe as the
greatest ovation a player ever re-
ceived in this citv. New York
fans may or nav not care whether
the National Capital entertains a
world series; but If the Yankees
can't repeat, they wish luck to
Walter Johnson. an outstanding
credit to the national sport"

AL Schacht's Value.

GONE time back there was
- much criticism of the Wash
~ ington club for keeping "two
comedians" the slants being
aimed at A. Gene Dearborn
Schacht, Uncle Nick Altrock's
team mate and third base coach.
Of course, now that the fighting
Griffs have battled their way
back to their rightful place, rasp-
ing tongues are stilled, but there
is something to be said for Albert.
"Schacht is smart coach, take
it from me-" says Bucky Harris.
part of our success is due to
his smart stuff around third base.
Since joining the team he has
missed only two signs, which is
remarkable work. Few coaches
are that Quick"
So A. Gene Dearborn Schacht
should not worry about his job.

DUE TO BAD CONNECTION.
Cause Assigned for Poor Function
ing of Radio Set.

Sometimes a set will cease func-
tioning or will function poorly on
the last stage or audio-frequency
amplification. This is almost always
due to a poor connection In the Jack
that precedes the last state or in one
of the preceding jacks in other
stages.
II you have this trouble, look In
between the small silver contacts In
the jacks and notice whether or not
they clase properly when the plug is
withdrawn from them. Sometimes
the springs weaken and do not allow
them to close as they should. The
remedy is to take out the jack and
bend the offending springs back into
position, and then to replace the
jack.
