round gives one fine ideas as to it's
possibilities. Opening the blade as at
A in the drawing, Burke plays a
long pitch with great force and
striking results. The force seems
to exert itself entirely in added
height. That causes the ball to
drop almost straight down on the
green and bite.
He says that the harder you play
a mashie the more stop you can put
on it. That is true. Gripping, as
shown at B, Burke depends more
on bit of run, although this ball
has backspin. His short pitch and
run Zig. c. from distances up to IS
yards is played with the sole of the
club resting in natural position on
the ground. On this shot he takes
little divOt, merely cutting the
grass. Burkes stance is open and
he plays the ball off a middle line
between his heels, catching 1t on
the downswing.

l. men ndtlONal singles cndfn-
pionship next month has ever
been recorded on the books Of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton.
This is the bright side Of the other
wise dolorous fact that blazing tennis
stars who formerly dominated the
courts are beginning to bow to the
ravages of years comparatively adj
Vanced.
Uncertainty as to what will happen
in the Championship matches, as well
as the prospect of stirring encounters.
has elected unusual interest in the
forthcoming tournament and this is
reflected in the way in which favor
able locations in the stadium at For
est Hills are being taken up.
So this may or may not be held,
as one feels about it, as compensation
for the hazardous situation involved
in the defense of the Davis Trophy.
An optimist with some warrant of
logic will declare that the present
marked growth in interest in lawn
tennis-resulting from the fact that
one or two men no longer are dom
mating the situation. that several
youngsters are due to blaze across the
armament any time and that foreign
crs now are upon our shores bursting
with confidence in their ability to
shroud the American eagle with the
lilies OF Frances worth the loss of
the cup.
Two Bills Different.
In this connection. it is interesting
to observe the tender care, the con-
sideration with which the veterans
who, as the past years. will be Amer
ica's chief reliance. are being han
died by the Davis Cup authorities.
Bill Johnston. for instance. The
little Californian will not arrive until
the third week in August, when he
will go to Newport. 1t is probable
he will not participate in the tourna-
ment at the Casino. but will spend
his time in practice, Bill has done
little playing TO date, his idea being
that he will do better if he conserves
his energies. The Davis Cup COM
mttee and the authorities of the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
ton concur in this arrangement.
On the other hand, Big Bill Tildeu
is insisting that more tennis and still
more tennis is what he needs. Three
times DAY on the courts ne regards
as not too much And. as with John
ston. the authorities are smiling agree
ably and telling him to go to it. The
fear that he may crack in the process
is swallowed up in the theory that
Tilden knows what is good for him.
The two veteran stars and one other
selected to play on the Davis Cup
team will be sent to Newport the third
week in August for a period of train
ing. Even with Tilden and Johnston
in the best possible shape it is felt that
they have got to win their matches in
three out of four sets. Johnston cec-
tainly is no longer a five-set man and
while Tilden may prove he is still able
to go the long route at top speed. re-
cent evidence is against this prospect.
There has not in wears been such q
chance for a youngster to win a place

has more pride in its golf champion
than Main street in its volunteer fire
men, and the city would be quite lost
without at least one.
Not since 1916, when the 14-year-old
Jones started on the trail of fame at
Merton. and AleXa Stirling won her
first national championship at Bel
mont Springs. has Atlanta been out
of the golfing spotlight for single
moment. Now AleXa has been gone
from Georgia these several years, and,
with Bobby contemplating the busy
life of a barrister, it is up to kiitie,
the king maker, to produce capable
successors to that pair.
The Gums and Carleton.
He has them. he believes, in the
great Gums and Red Carleton. Watts,
the elder of the Gum brothers. was
tossed into the arena at Oakmont
three Summers ago, and to say that
he did Atlanta proud is putting it
mildly. He was an even greater SEN
sation than Jones at Merton almost Il
decade before, and the boldness of his
play made the national amateur
championship in reality an Atlanta
amateur championship.
Watts will be one of the outstand-
ing figures in the coming amateur at
Minikahda, late this month. He has
played brilliantly all season, winning
the Southern intercollegiate title;
playing we'll in the Southern anna
teur and then capturing the national
collegiate crown with a burst of golf
that shattered the long standing rec
ord at Garden City, and brought
Roland Mackenzie the worst beating
of his career.
But good as Watts Is, there are

like Bobby Jones. the East Lake
course has been his playground since
he was as long as a puttcr. For
the last two years Will has been
giving free lessons to the old-timers
around the club. including the smil-
ing Mr. Chick Ridley. who owns the
largest niblick in the world. Only.
in the case of Mr.. Ridley the lessons
often were not free.
Will Earned Junior Title.
Will entered his first championship
the Atlanta junior-last Summer
and there was nothing to it. Early
this season Judge Will Gum. father
OF the golfing brothers. allowed his
younger son to enter the Southern
amateur at Charlotte. n. c. Wise
acres predicted that the blond boy
with the square jaw and silent tongue
was bit too young for such fast
company. But Will qualified easily
and went to the semi-finals, where
he was beaten by the champion after
tumbling Glenn Crissman and Ches-
teen Harris, both former title holders.

But the man who had the putt to

Unlike Farrell, the man missed the
putt. Having thus missed, he of

WESLEY HEIGHTS MODEL HOME
HELD UP BY MATERIAL DELAY

Construction of The Star model
home in Wesley Heights has been at a
standstill during the past week due to
the fact that the builders have been
forced to wait upon the shipment from
Cleveland, Ohio, of plastering material
needed for the white finish OF the in
terror walls of the house. The par
ticular brand of white finish needed
was found not to be in stock locally
and q special order was necessary to
obtain it.
The temporary halt in the building
of this home has thus served to make
the house freely available to visitors
for study without hampering the work
of the workmen.
The Wesley Heights home was
ahead of schedule, however, and will
be completed on time, furnished and
equipped throughout. and open to the
public for formal inspection on July
80. It is being built by w. c. & A. N.

terials and equipment in accordance
with the plan to demonstrate the wis
dom of using dependable materials in

At the present time, the structural
details of the house are completed.

The preparation of the house for
plastering also included the covering
of all angles and all functions of in

Metal corner heads were placed on all
