MUNY DOUBLES TITLE
TO BE DECIDED TODAY

H. C. Trigg of Rock Creek having
taken the singles championship in the
public parks tennis tournament by de-
feating r. s. Considine of Henry
Park. Ga, 2-6, 6-4, only one semi
final and the deciding match in
doubles remain to be played today.
The Yoshikawa Kitihara pair. who
advanced to the semi-final round yes
terday when they were awarded a de-
fault over Fred Dodge and Herbert
Sheppard, are scheduled to encounter
A. NJ. Stebbins and A. w. Russett at
Potomac Park at o'clock. The win
ming team will take on Maurice V.
O'Neill and r. S. Considine in the
final.
While the Dodge Sheppard team
was declared out of it yesterday when
Sheppard failed to appear for the
match with the japanese players. the
committee will be asked to reconsider
the decision today. and there is a pos
sibility of the high school netmen
getting back in the running.
In the championship match with
Trigg, Considine failed to display the
same brilliant brand of play that en-
abled him to down O'NeiH Saturday
in the semi-final round. He started off
well enough and held a 4-to-2 advan-
tage in the first set before the Rock
Creek champion began a smashing
offensive that netted him four straight
games and the set. In the second the
youthful Considine took five straight,
but in the final, with the count stand
ing 4-all, his defense broke down and
Trigg forged TO the front.
Both the winner and runner.up will
represent Washington in the national
public parks tournament at Baltimore
next week.

Revived after hours of unconscious
ness, he said two men attacked him
on West Forty-first street, in a dis
trict known as "Hell's Kitchen" early
yesterday when he attempted to act
as peacemaker in brawl. He said
he knocked one man down. The other
turned on him with a knife. Sikh
was found unconscious on the side
walk in pool of blood by a detective.
Joseph Hanahan, 25. arrested near
the scene, was held in SIC, 900 bail,
charged with felonious assault. He
denied knowledge of the attack.
Sikh annexed the light heavyweight
crown by knocking out Georges Car
pentier in Paris in 1922, and lost IL
TO Mike McTigue after 20-round bout
in Dublin st. Patrick's day, 1928.
The stabbing eliminated a series Of
brawls on two continents. In the
cabarets of Paris Sikh has engaged in
numerous fights in which much furni-
ture and glass was wrecked. In Oc-
tober, 1928, he got police protection

Iien Player Writer Case Tough Problem :Sik Near Death From
TILDEN OvERCOMES
JOHNSTON IN 3 SETS

GLENCOE, H., July 27-Once more
William Johnston tried and failed once
more-William Tilden defeated him in
championship play, adding to the long
string of victories which he has gained
over his Davis Cup mate and cham
pionship foe since he took the national
title from him in 1920.
Playing before $500 fans yesterday,
the largest gathering that ever saw a
tennis match in the Chicago vicinity.
the Philadelphian vanquished Johnston
in the final OF the Illinois State cham
pionship at the Skokie Country Club,
6-4, Ga, 81.
This was his third victory in four
years and gave him permanent posses
sion Of the Skokie Club challenge cup.
Tilden was at his best, and except
for an occasional lapse paid attention
strictly to the business Of beating
Johnston, In the greater part Of the
match the work of the champion was
magnificent. 1t was almost impossible
for Johnston to put over a finishing
shot, so amazingly did Tilden cover
court, making gets that lifted the
spectators out of their seats. Rarest
of all were his backhand shots across
court. Time and again he found the
opening with these shots, some of
which were made after mad dash TO
the far corner of the court.
The relentlessness with which he
passed Johnston with these baCkhand
drives discouraged the Californian
from going to the net. Occasionally
Johnston brought off a finishing vol.
ley after brilliant stand with his serv.
ice court, but almost invariably he
was forced TO stand in his tracks and
watch the ball go streaking past.
Johnstons forehand did not serve
him as well as it did in some of his
earlier matches. He did not get the
drive into il nor was he able to keep
IL above the net. But. as Johnston
remarked after the match, you cannot
make the shots against Tilden that
you can against other players. The
ball comes back too fast and too we'll
placed and there is not enough time to
get set.
The Californian was we'll plea ased
with one thing and that was the way
in which he had stood up physically
under the grind of an hour and a quar-
ter. He did not look like the tired.
worn man that struggled hopelessly
against Tilden at Forest Hills last
year, and declared that with a 10-nin.
ute rest he could have gone back on
the court for fourth set as fresh as
he had been in the first.
Johnston did not take his defeat too
much to heart. He declared that he
was looking forward to bigger things
and that he thought he would stand a
better chance against Tilden on grass
He has had little practice this year
and has not had the opportunity TO
bring his game along against first
class opposition as has Tilden, who
has been playing continuously since
the season started.

I have a letter from A. C. Gross
man of Waverly, Iowa, in which he
says:
The farmers in this locality main
tain that pheasants, and particularly
male pheasants, are destructive
Much influence has been brought to
bear in declaring war on the pleas
ants. These beautiful birds have null
tiplied fast in and around Waverly
They have become domesticated to
such an extent that they will come
into the farmers yards and feed with
the chickens"
But it is this soeiability of the
pheasants that recently caused their
downfall in a community in the
Middle West. The farmers declared,
and proved, that the pheasants came
into their yards and not only fed with
the chickens but almost fed on the
chickens, driving them away from
the grain and eating it all themselves,
until the farmers simply had to shoot
the beautiful birds to save the
chickens and their grain supply.
Eye-witnesses have explained to me
how the pheasants of North Dakota

TENNIS TO BE PLAYED
WITH UNIFORM BALL
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 27.-Tennis
throughout the world in 1926 will be
played with the nearest approach to
a standard ball that machinery can
produce as the result of decision by
the International Lawn Tennis Fed
Grafton fixing the limits of the spheres
compression under pressure TO not
more than .315 of an inch nor less
than .290.
The decision results from an in
vestigation by a committee of four
from France, England, Australia and
the United States, which was ap-
pointed to examine into the question
of compression after IL had been found
that the balls used in several countries
varied by a wide margin in their ac-
ton off the racket and off the ground
This condition, which prevailed in
spite of the fact that the federation
had adopted specifications governing
size, weight and height of rebound,
was founnd to be due TO the fact that
no two manufacturers employed the
same formula in regulating the hard
ness of the ball.
Tests made by the committee
showed the ball made in England and
used at Wimbledon to be much harder
than the American sphere.
1t consequently impressed American
players as being heavy. while the
Americas product seemed light and
tiighty TO English players.
The new regulation, which goes into
effect January l, will require the
English ball to be softened and the
American sphere to be hardened.

the foothold he has gained in journal
ism and periodical literature.
And so, were the tennis association
to order him to choose between his
amateur status and his writing and
We're Tilden to stand by his guns, the
world of sport would be called upon
TO view an unpleasant spectacle-if
the association had the courage to act
The greatest tennis player the world
has ever seen and a drawing card of
tremendous magnetism, a world figure
who has carried American tennis pres
tige to the far corners of the earth

tional representative.
May Find Way Out.
Courage would indeed be required to
take such action. if only because of its
significance and far-reaching infiu-
ence. Even in event of Tilden's re-
calcitrancy some alternative course
might be devised. While not coura-
geous, this might be fair and wise.
There are many who are keen for
pure amateurism who hope none the
less that this will happen. Tilden was
a writer before he was a star player,
and. this being so. his case would seem
to call for special sort of considera-
ton.
Evening star., 1925-07-27

If he is summoned care will prob.
ably be taken that such conflict does
not occur, because. as the writer
gathers it, the authorities are sincere
ly anxious 10 get to the bottom of
the matter.
Might Fail to Obey.
Suppose Tilden did appear and fail
10 satisfy his inquisitorS that his in
terviews did not offend the spirit of
rule governing player-writers.
Suppose then he were ordered to re-
frain. What would happen?
The chances seem in this event to
favor the champions refusal to obey
the mandate Tilden is temperament
tally a writer, just as temperamental-
ly he is tennis player. The pull of
both, thus, is powerful.
But he cannot play championship
tennis all his life The time must
come when he will begin TO lose some
of his extraordinary coordination and
delicacy of technique. when he will
fall back before the advance of some
new meteor of the courts.
But as a writer he will improve and

Many people do not distinguish be-

the swimmer to attain greater speed.
There are many variations of the

Start practice by swimming with the

movement may also be used for the
trudgeon, but the leg movement

gives a smoother trudgeon with less
