BY ALPHONSE SMITH,
Champion Boy Tennis Player.

HEN you start tennis
w match the first thing ,! ~: you
do is serve. SO I'm going
to start with the serve. The object
of serve is not SO much to win a
clean race, but to get your opponent
in an. unfavorable position SO you
may win on the return.
There are various sorts of service
you read about in the description
Of great matches played in the late
Summer. The twist service is often
written Of But unless a player can
get a good twist service and can
make the most Of it he had better
leave it alone. for it may do him more
damage than good.
You often see a fellow make a ter
rife serve the first time and then
barely lob 1t over the next time.
Your object is to get into the posi-
ton you want for the rest of the
play. A slow but well placed serve
can do this for you.
Speed Is great, but speed alone is
disastrous, for fellow will forget
about placing and think too much
of his speed.

BASE BALL SECRETS

In order to avoid a putout in
sliding home on a close play the
big Lacquer uses q good method.
He throws his body on the inside
of the base line toward the dia-
mond and as he goes by shoots out
a hand to touch the base, as the
player on the left in the illustra-
ton is doing That keeps his body
away from the ball and presents
only his hand and arm as a target
for the catcher to touch. Note
how much better is this method
than the one used by the player
on the right, who is sliding
straight along the base line into
the base. He is an easy putout
on a. close play

The Yankees pitching again has
perked up materially. Pennock never

out for several weeks following an
operation on his foot for broken
bone in his ankle, but young Thomas

AS the result of the recent winning

the Yankees pennant percentage tg-

ton. The Athletics are rated . points

COLOR RULING

The largest taxicab companies Of

providing for the protection of color
schemes used by these companies.
John1J. Beebar OF the Yellow Cab,
William, J. Brown of the Black and
White and Earl Klein Of the Red
Top Taxicab Company, declared
that It was an infringement on the
rights Of the public to allow ire
sponsible companies to use color
schemes similar to theirs.
Henry M. Fowler, representing
the Independent Taxi Owners Assoc
citation, claimed that the commission
would have to designate the colors
which could be used bX each COM
pany and that none of the SO ma
chimes, operated at present by his
concern. could be confused with any
others.
From the demeanor Of the COM
mission it was indicated that no

the following calendar Monday
There is reported to be little opposl-

The House. which. already has
PASSED the Wadsworth-A ills mothers
aid measure, differing in one vital
respect from the Capper bill. IS re-

serious obstacle to the acceptance
Of the latter measure will arise IN

that stage.
The Public Welfare Board BILL,
merging the various charitable ac-
tsvifies Of the city, probably will
be reported favorably by the Senate
