Tennis is not taken as seriously by
the Capital racketers, either men OK
women, as it is in the Northern States,
where opportunities for play are more
plentiful. Even our ranking stars do
not make the net game their first in.
terest. 1t is side issue, secondary
to their business and social life. Not
one of our first ten ranking players
of either sex has the money or the
time to follow the game extensively.
And If they had both, the opportunity
for development by consistent prac-
tice still would be lacking. No indoor
courts are available for the necessary
cold weather workouts enjoyed by
those players whose names appear on
the Eastern, Northern and Middle
States lists, with the possible excep-
ton of the one court at the Arcadia
which can be used only for exhibition
tournament play.
This fact alone Is enough to dis
courage any national aspirations in
local players. for it is utterly impos-
sible to develop first caliber tennis
with ones racket in the press five or
six months out of the year. Until
Washington has adequate playing

Although Edward Blackwell,

could drive "gutta" ball over 800
yards and Jesse GuilfOrd drove
over the trees into the rough ON
the far side of the fairway OF a
dog-leg hole when he won the
United States Amateur, the former
lost to the accuracy of Travis and
the latter won his title only after
friends had curbed his desire to hit

Long driving is f1ne--if you can
couple it with direction. Few can.
Charley Hall, Birmingham pro,
conceded to be one of the longest
drivers In the game, has yet 10 WIN

JONES HAS A BRIGHT
OUTLOOK IN BRITAIN



Bobby Jones has too big title hunts
before him in which to bag at least one
national championship for the year
1927. OF the two it would seem that
he has a better chance to win the
British open crown again than he has
TO wrest the American amateur golf
toga from George Won Elm.
Medal and not match play still is the
forte OF Jones. With the confidence
gained on foreign soil in his victory
last year, Bobby may strike his scoring
stride at ST. Andrews, where he will
have only two short holes to bother
him as compared with the four at Oak
mont that proved so disastrous.
Later in the year at Minneapolis,
however. Jones not only will find Won
Elm in his way but Jimmy Johnston
on home ground and any number of
other Tartars likely to hit up an un-
beatable pace without the slightest
warning.
The British undoubtedly will install
Jones big favorite in their own clas-
sic, which has witnessed American
triumphs in five of the past six years.
Badly as Jones finished in the Ameri-
can open--eleventh place-there was
only one Briton ahead of him. Archie
Compston, and Archie only had sim
gle stroke lead over the Georgian.
