Louis Thalheimer, of Dali
las, and Lewis White, OF
Austin, blazed their way to
a straight-set win over Leven Jester
and John Barr, both Dallasites, ana
holders of the championship in 1924'
before n packed gallery at the. Dallas
Lawn Tennis club, SO. 10, "a.
Despite the fact that Barr and
lester never won a set, the match was
hard-fought. and the Thalheimer-
White team was forced to show some
spectacular tennis to win.
KILL THE LOBS.
With the exception of Bars ser
vice and TESTERS net work, no depart
ment of the local teams game was up
TO the 1924 standard that carried them
TO the championship. Barr was hay
ing an off day at the net, while Jes-
tcr's usual uncanny lobs were convert
ed into kills" repeatedly by White
and Thalheimer.
The play of White stood out as
the most consistent of the afternoon.
His service was splendid, and he play
ed a good game in all departments.
Thalheimer flashed brilliant tennis at
times, but would fall back into n bad
streak at other times. His service was
cratic and an unusual number OF dou-
bic faults were served by him during
the match.
The big feature of the losers play
was the terrific service of Barr. who
never lost serve to the opposition
during the three sets. Eight times ne
served and eight games were chalked
up to the credit of his team.
WHITES SERVES GOOD.
White also won every service, eight
but he never cut through with aces
as often as the local boy, and the
splendid team play of the intercolle-
gate champs aided him in his victor
les, while Barr in several instances
won games by crashing EN- through
the enemy"
Jester played a splendid game at
net. and when aid was needed on
Jester was in there with the goods.

H0RNSBY DUE
IN EARLY.
Spring
Big Leaguers to Spend
More Than Month in
Workouts Here.

San Antonio was definitely selected
as the 1926 spring training site for
the st. Louis Cardinals of the Ma
tional Baseball League Saturday.
Messages confirming Vice President
Branch Rickey's tentative selection Of
a San Antonio camp on his recent
visit here were received simultaneous.
" by President Harry Ables of the
San Antonio Baseball Club and Con
vention Secretary Fred Herndon OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
The Cardinals, led by the celebrated
National League batting champion,
Rogers Hornsby, the club manager,
will arrive the last week in February
and spend more than a month in the
city getting into condition for the pen
nant race.
LONG TIME BREWING.
Mr.. Hickey, then field manager Of
the team, told The Light last spring,
when the Cardinals played an exhibit
ton game here, that he looked favor
ably on San Antonio as n city i'll
which to bring the team for train
ing.
Hornsby also is strong" for San
Antonio and has been quoted In st.
Louis as saying that San Antonio is
the best place in the world TO get
a ball player in condition" He trained
here when Miller Higgins managed
the Cardinals several years ago. Like
wise, he is native Texan.
The Cardinals first squad, with
Hornsby in the lineup, will play ex-
hibition games, probably all of them
against the San Antonio Bears, on
Saturdays and Sundays as follows:
March 6 and Z, Is and IA, 20 and u,
Mr.. Ables said Saturday.
WEEK DAY GAMES.
There also will be several week.
day James. in all probability, and the
Cards second team will get into ac-
ton the last week end of the spring
stay against the Bears, according to
present plans.
In his messages, Mr.. Hickey stipu-
lated that MIR. Ables Of the San An
tonic club is to get whatever nd-
yantagcs attach to our training IN
your city" from an exhibition game
standpoint.
Mr.. Hickey stated that no definite
hotel arrangements had been made
but that he had tentatively decided to
make the Mengcr the teams headquar-
tiers.
The Cardinals will work out at
League Park.
WHITE SOX, TOO.
Mr.. Hcrndon of the Chamber of
Commerce, who has been Ill close
touch with the Cardinal Club and also
has been in correspondence with other
major league teams, believes that COLI
ditions are favorable to have the Chi.
cago White Sox of the American
League. train ut some small city near
San Antonio, as they did at Seguin
two years ago, so that games might
be arranged between the two clubs ot
rival major leagues.
Last season. the Cardinals trained
in Stockton, Cal.
There were no major league clubs
in Texas training camps last spring,
the Minneapolis team Of the Amcri-
can Association, doing its conditioning
here.

The critic has a great racket, as
VIC say at the club.
The writer has come upon him
self criticising some boxers style,
and explaining how he is all wrong,
vet the writer probably wouldn't
last half a round with blind man.
He has criticised the manage
mcnt of ball clubs, and it is sure
thing be couldn't take the Wash
ington outfit and finish better than
last in the Western Association.
But he consoles himself with the
thought that dramatic critics who
couldn't walk on a stage and say,
"Did you ring, sir?" without fumb-
ling the line, brazenly criticise
John Barrymore and all the rest of
those beginners.
In pugilistic criticism. it seems to
the writer, not enough allowance
is made by the critics for youth,
inexpcrience and other handicaps.
A young fellow who is unfortu-
nate enough to meet defeat is some
times dismissed with n few sarcas-
tic words that halt his career for
months, and maybe years.
The writer has often thought that
critics, including himself, would
feel that they got mighty raw deal
il they were turned away with as
short shrift when they we're first
trying to get handhold on life.
But of course the writer isn't
saying that there shouldn't be criti-
cism, and strong criticism, at that.
You are not TO infer that he is
urging himself out Of a job.
