The rangy King had no soft pick

He was pitted against Mitchell,

against Bob Elliott, the crack sharp
shooter from Baltimore and the Navy

two easy sets, 81, 6-S.
He thus indicated to the tennis

are looked upon as likely to do the
hurting for the Tigers. Gibson has
bothered the Griffs in the past,
while Carroll, the former star OF
the Holy Cross nine, Is now said
to be coming into his own as
major Lacquer of real skill.
Not in many moons have the
Griffs played such game as that
opener here. They won, to s,
but before the battle ended a howl
ing storm of wind, rain and dust
swept the park, threatening to take
the press box right off the roof Of
the stand.
There was a delay Of half an
hour, during which both Lizzie
Lisenbee, and Rip Collins lost
their stuff, and then the two
teams finished the scrap in q
steady, though Hight, dOWnpOur.
At S:15 the thermometer stood at
the 80 mark. The storm was COM
ing slowly out Of the West, and
at o'clock the figures were 81.
Fourteen minutes later there was
a drop of IA degrees to 70. and the
rain was pouring down upon the
city, while the high gale was up

their roofs, overturning parked
motor cars. and ripping telegraph
wires hither and thither.
The Griffs were leading, TO z,
when the storm broke. Johnny Neun
was facing Lisenbee, with one out
in the last of the fourth. Then
came the wait Of half an hour, ana
the former Memphis pride was done,
though he waited till the sixth be-
fore seeking the showers.
Bluege's walk and Bob Reevee'
terrific triple, followed by He'll

two runs i'm the sixth and that
seemed to Cinch the victory, but
the Tigers tore Lisenbee apart
in their half and succeeded in
tying the score.
Manush tripled. Wingo walked

"Bingy' Bryan, the potent ''iron"
shooter Of the Times, seemed an
easy winner of that historic and
tradition-laden Cleland Cup yester-
day until he marched to the final
green. The sports writer's of the
Washington papers (some sporting

Mellowed age has taken a firm
grasp on the veterans and the
swift pace has presented barrier
which they cannot hurdle without
undue exertion. Times were when
O'Neill and Trigg were monarchs
OF the muny courts, but others,
with stout limbs and keener eyes,
have unseated them from their
regal chair. Tennis Is a youth s
game and the increasing years are
bans to all players.
Never before have the public
parks players risen to such lofty
heights as was the example this
year when no less than eight sur
vived until the round before the
quarter finals in the annual Dis
trict championships.
Those who do not frequent the
public park clay courts look
with contempt upon the public
parks fraternity, but the elite
class is restless these days
since the plebian has stepped to
the fore and challenged its
supremacy.
The approaching municipal ten
mis- tourney offers a complex case
between Considine, King and Mitch
ell. Considine and King are tall
and angular with ni1nble forms and
a reach that has come to their
assistance at critical moments in a
crucial engagement. Mitchell,
slightly smaller than his rivals. is
solidiy constructed and pours the
more deadly and raking fire of the
trio. Stamina is his forte, for he
has rhe reserve strength to forge
ahead when his opponent is fast
firing under the terrific ordeal.
King advanced to the finals in
the District title meet, but lost to
the experienced Charest in his last
thrust to snatch the coveted crown.

And the funny part of it was
that two-thirds of the men sug.
gested for places were fellows who
haven't been in the league for
more than two or three seasons or
less. 1t just goes to show that the
young fellows are the boys who are
on top in baseball these days.
Talking about kids, here's a
team of young fellows that the
boys picked out. 1t isn't an

understand me. haven't picked
my alI-America and / won't for
number of weeks yet. The
reason / mention it is that
when this kid team had been
picked Bob Meusel wanted to
bet me a new hat that this
team could beat any all-America

Here's the kid outfit:
Pitchers-WiIcy Moore, Horace

Utility men--Mark koenig, Boley
II the Athletics, Eddie Pick of the

There's a great ball club.
And the big thing about it is
that there isn't man In the
outfit who has played three full
seasons of big league ball. Some
of them are playing their first
season this year. and lot of
the others are playing their
second complete season right
now.
But it's quite a ball club, believe
me. And the manager who had
those fellows wouldn't need to
worry much about his team for the
next eight or ten years.
1t just goes to show the thing
was talking about That is that it's
the kids who are doing the big
things this year. They're the Jack
bone of baseball You've got to
watch them from now on. They're
coming fast.

OFFER TO AID
With AVIATION

PHOENIX, Sept. 21. - Arizona's
spirit of cooperation carried into the
San Francisco conference of the
Pacific coast transportation advisory
board last Friday, is believed to have
been largely responSble for a volun-
tary offer of railroad Representatives
to assist in the development of air
transportation.
This is the first time, SO far as IS
known, that the rail carriers of the
nation have voluntarily offered their
services for the development of an
apparently competing industry.
The idea of coordinating air trans
porte4Iicn with railroad transporta-
ton was instilled in the conference
by the aero transportation commit
tee of the board, headed by P. c..
Salisbury, president of the Arizona
industrial congress and chairman of
the committee. With other members
OF the committee, Mr.. Spilsbury made
the trip from southern California
to San Francisco by airplane as a
means of emphasizing the growing
Importance of air machines in trans
portation problems.
So enthusiastically did the railroad
executives receive the proposals for
cooperative~endeavor that they agreed
to join the aero committee in an
appeal to Herbert Hoover. secretary
