ems national tournament, beginning

The champion was hurt by the

ceiye a massage, which she would
have gladly gone without, were it not

TENNIS B0OING LAID
TO COMM MERCIALlSM
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE only
cause for satisfaction to be found in
the unruly conduct of part of the
crowd at Forest Hills, when the
woman stars OF the United States and
England were playing for the Wight
man cup, was that it was'not inspired
by misguided patriotism.
Quite on the contrary, most of the
outbursts over decisions of the line
men were raised in behalf Of the
English players, particularly in the
case of Kathleen Mckane.
And the victim of the booing and
storm of Kisses that diSgraced one
phase of the game was Helen Wills,
who was some 20 minutes late in ap.
pearing for the doubles match.
They call it 'Holliganism" in Eng
land and tennis there has not been
free from it. But this season in the
United States is the first where spec
tators have permitted their emotions
to .In away with their breeding.
And they were we'll bred persons,
men and women, who abandoned
themselves on Saturday to the be-
havior of a crowd at prize fights. or
fans in cheap bleacher seats at a base
ball game. At least they looked like
well bred persons.
Some say that the commercialization
OF tennis is responsible for what hap
pened at Forest Hills. and out in the
Middle West previously, probably is
true. The great thing about a tennis
gallery in former times was that it
was made up almost exclusively of
those who played the game with
greater or less facility, and thus had
a sporting philosophy that was proof
against the vocal temptations Of emo
tional moments
But now with your Tildens and
Johnstons, and Mrs. Mallorys and
Willses, occupying some such position
as public characters as Dempsey
Ruth, Cobb, ct al, many are drawn To
important tennis matches who never
held rackets in their hands.
They alone probably were not the
authors Of the ruffianly commotion on
Saturday, but 1t may be suspected
that they set the tune.

CRICKETERs TIES MARK
WITH 126TH "CENTURY''

By the Associated Press.
TAUNTON, Somersetshire, England,
August 17.-Joy burned in the hearts
of most Britishers throughout the
world today, for mighty Jack Hobbs,
the Babe Ruth Of cricket, has scored
bis 126th century" thus equaling the
world record set by DR.. w. G. Grace
in 1904.
A century is 100 runs in a single
game.
England's king of swat also equaled
another record, that of scoring l3
centuries in a single season. This
was held by c. B. Fry, another IA
nous old-time cricketer.
DIR. Grace, who has been called the
greatest cricketer of all time, made
his record over a period of 40 years,

was chief line coach for the varsity
several seasons.
The two line stars already noted
are Paul Woerner, 1875 pounds. who
played tackle on the Swarthmore
eleven, and Russell Lloyd, POS pounds,
the brilliant and versatile star from
Peddie Institute. Much interest is
being taken also in Arthur Kruppen-
bacher, 20S pounds, a former Marine,
and the strongest member of the class,
who is expected to make a great lines
man.
Woerner Is Great Punter.
Woerner is a great punter, being
able to boot the ball consistently for
so yards, and there is no member of
the varsity squad at present who can
equal this performance, so this will
be a considerable advantage which
the plebes will have over the varsity.
A preliminary survey has also
yielded some excellent backfield pros
poets. Morris White, for instance,
was a regular at the University of
Alabama. He weighs 1874 pounds and
appears to have lots of punch. Eli
colt Parish, who played in the Geor-
gia Tech backfield, appears to be a
good man also.
The prospects of the plebe team
of such unusual strength augurs we'll
for fott ball at the academy Not
only will it help in the development
of the varsity of this year by giving
it opposition in practice games, but
it is developing players who will be
valuable to the main team next sea-
son and afterwards.

heat after having been in a cool place
than they would if they had remained
on the field on which they get their
actual tests in games. Some schools
are forced to go to other places for
early practice, because of other uses
to which their fields are being put in
the first three weeks of practice.
AS as a matter of fact, as far as
actual. results from a standpoint of
foot ball development are concerned,
there is not much difference either
way. The whole question, instead of
being one of general advantage for
training foot ball players, resolves it
self into advantages or disadvantages
in single cases. If conditions for some
team are not suitable for early sea-
son workouts on its home field, then
it is highly advantageous for that
school TO go to a training camp; If
conditions are suitable on the field
of the home team. then going to
training camp is of no particular ad-
vantage. Right here are two cases
of where it probably is an advantage
for one team and not an advantage
for the other.
Georgetown, located in one of the
hottest cities in the East, finds it to
it's advantage to go elsewhere for
three weeks. Maryland, out in the
SubuIbS, NHtIS llSIllS always are cool,
probably would not be benefited one
iota by travelling to the western part
of the State in the mountains or to
the eastern part to the seashore.
Ira Rodgers, for several years base
ball coach at West Virginia and as
sistant foot ball coach, is to handle
the whole foot ball situation this year
as head coach. Rodgers stands out as
one of the greatest backs in foot ball,
and unquestionably West Virginia has
absolute confidence in his ability.
