Unless the Providence officials are
willing to entertain Mount Rainier
in three games this week end, the
first on Saturday and the others on
Sunday. then the original plan will
be adhered to whereby local sandlot
fans will see the Marylanders in ac-
ton against Providence on September
21 in the second match. OMalley al
ready has wired Providence urging
that all of the games be played this
week end at Providence. He expected
to hear from the Rhode Island team
today.
OMalley has been unable to obtain
Griffith Stadium for the proposed
Mount Rainier-Providence game on
September 21. He has sent Providence
word to that effect. but the principal
reason for the present plan of stag
ing the sectional games at Providence
is attributed to the expenses entailed
in a longer series. 1t will cost ap-
proximately $3.50 to take the Mount
Rainier players to Providence for one
game. and only a few hundred more
to allow them to stay over the week
end for the remaining matches.
Conflicting reports concerning the

ing Mills is banking a final hope on
a counter protest against Mount Raj
nier, which charges the Marylanders
with using several of the General Ac-
counting ONCE tossers in the Wash
ington- Baltimore sectional games.
Washington Base Ball and Athletic
Association officials believe that Roll

by the National Base Ball Federation

Patterson will be moved to prove
his assertion and Richards to confute
1t. a personal issue of the sort
always enhances interest in a contest
IN tennis or any other sport.
Two things remain to be seen
before Americans can sit back with
the easy assurance of likelihood that
the cup will be retained. First, Rich
ards must prove his mettle as a Davis
cup singles player and second, the
Tilden-Johnson doubles combination
Will be tried by fire.
If, as some think, the Patterson
Wood combination has at least an
even chance to dispose of the Amer
lean pair then, a great responsibility
rests upon Tilden and Richards in the
singles. For should the Australians
win the doubles the two singles play
ers of the American team would have
TO take three out of the four matches
TO clinch an American victory.
Tilden. teamed with Vincent Rich
ards, Jared diSa StrouSly against the
Patterson-O'Hara Wood combination
in the Davis cup matches of 1922. The
Antipodeans won in decisive fashion
and their victory convinced Tilden
that Americans know very little
about the technique and strategy of
doubles play.
1t remains to be seen whether or
not Tilden, a great student Of the
game, has gained material knowledge
in this respect. But even if he has
its value will only be made practical
by the hearty cooperation of
Johnston.

the upward slope to the second level
