For team of six men, Coach Zear-
foss has four regulars from last sea-
son and a quantity of new material
to pick from. Besides Fred Doyle,
captain elect. and Fred Dodge, win

D. C.. TENPEN TEAM
INTERCITY WINNER

BALTIMORE, January 10.-Tenpin
fans of this city had their chance to
cheer tonight, even though the five
representing this city lost its match
to the Washington team. In the sec
ond group of five games, the locals
managed to tie the crack rollers from
Washington, both teams topping 435
pins. Since the visitors came here
with an advantage of 326 pins gained
in the first five games, rolled in Wash
ington last week, they are victors in
the match.
Capt. Graham of the locals is
stanch in his declaration that the To-
Gals are equals of the Capital pinmen,
and declares the reason the match in
Washington gave the District pinmen
so great an advantage was that the
slippery alleys there made good roll
ing on the part of his team impossi-
BILE. A return match may be rolled, in
view of tonight's tie.
High individual single-gam mark
tonight was hung up by Miller OF the
guests, who toppled 235 in the final.
The locals ace was Brauer, who rolled
20S. Baltimore began as if it would
quickly erase the lead against it by
gaining 1877 pins in the first. game.
Washington rallied, however, and re-
gained the lost ground.

TENNIS WRITER RULE
STILL HURTS TILDEN
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press
While the United States Tennis Asso-
citation will not act until next month
at its annual meeting on the newly
framed amateur rule, including its
player-writer features, the effect of
the new proposal on the playing ac-
tivities of William t. Tilden, national
champion and most prominent player
writer, already has aroused consider
able discussion.
Tilden himself discussed the oues-
tion in a syndicated article but when
asked by the Associated Press for a
statement of his position, he de-
cIared:
Il do not wish to be quoted on the
player-writer question or it's effect
upon my status this year until after
the new amateur rule proposal has
been acted upon by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association. As a mat
ter of fact. my plans are indefinite,
but IL is obvious that 1 cannot out
line my position until the new rule
is effective
Friends of Tilden. however, pointed
out that his newspaper contract,
which calls for him to provide stories
daily on the outstanding title events
in which he takes part, would con-
ffct sharply with the feature of the
new player-writer rule which forbids
q player TO write for pay or for a
consideration current newspaper ar
ticles covering tournament or
match in which he is entered as a
competitor.
Tilden signed the report OF the spe-
cial committee which drafted this as
well as other provisions OF the pro-
posed new amateur rule recently ap-
proved by the executive body of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion, but his friends hold that he did
so with the thought that 1T was the
best solution of the player-writer
problem, regardless of his personal
situation.

Another writer's view regarding the
closed season:
Il read your articles in The Star De-
cember 2S and January 4.
Il do not believe a three-year closed
season on small-mouth bass will help
matters any. l think every one will
agree with me that where a river is a
dividing line in three States 1t is i'm
possible to have a closed season, as it
| cannot be watched. You know the Poto-
mac is a. long river, and I am sure any
game warden will agree with me that
| the Potomac will be a hard river to
close and watch.
Il have been fishing in the Upper
| Potomac for 10 years from Georgetown
| to Cumberland, and 1 have never yet
| for them to be all over the river go
every Sunday, holiday and on my annual
two-week vacation, and I always get at
| least one bass. If do not I am salts
| fled, because love to be on the water
| IF you will take the time. I am sure
you will find out that it has been long
| while since any bass have been put in
! the Upper Potomac. I mean from Lit
tie Falls to Great Falls and from Great
Falls to Seneca Now. how do the fisher
men of Washington expect to catch any
bass IL they never put any in the river.
| What is the use Of closing the bass
| season for three years to give the
| fish hogs the time of their lives? On
the other hand, to close the season
/ for three years and then never put
any more bass in the Potomac for ten
years would put affairs back to just
where they are today
| Another thing that the fishermen
of Washington need is good club
house, one on the Upper Potomac, and
not one in an Office building. We
need fishermen's clubhouse on the
river. where the angler may go to
,, sit around and talk to his friends
and make other friends and every
year see that bass are put in the Po-
tomac. If this is done you will see
the best fishing ever. Other States do
1t and they don't have a three-year
/ closed season either.
II know place on the Potomac
1 only miles from Washington and a
beautiful place, too,S where they can
put bass in the river each year for
three years, and then there would be
tno need for a closed season

to himself: Williams and Richards

1t is declared that those who are
fortunate enough to see the pictures
will learn more about tennis in the
80 minutes than they would have if
they had seen every championship
match ever played.
Every care has been exercised and
no legitimate expense spared in the
preparation of the films. In some
cases four cameras were trained upon
the players at as many different
angles and the films synchronized in
order to show the action from all
sides.
Startling Revelations.
The first thing that the pictures
reveal is, that contrary to the COM
mon impression, there is absolutely
no championship style" and that the
play of Tilden and Johnston is about
as much alike as black and white.
Another phase that is revealed in
the various angles of impact used in
the strokes of the leading players.
The third outstanding feature of the
films is the study of footwork af-
forded.
An analysis of form shows that in
service some players hit the ball as
1T is rising into the air. others catch
1t at the peak of the toss and still
others meet it as il is descending. In
fact, Tilden is the only one of the
. stars filmed who hits a rising ball.
The rate of exposure was 125 pic
lures per second and the rate of ex-
hibition is 16 pictures per second.
thus producing a very slow and con-
tinuous exposition of the motion and
action of the players depicted, which
gives the spectator plenty of time to
analyze the style of the various rack
eters.
