Tennis Association wishes to have
its younger representative players
experienced in foreign competition
on foreign soil For one thing, 1t
enables them to get world wide
view of the game and at the same
time to estimate their own game in
the correct proportion.
The necessity of adapting ones
game to different surfaces and diff.
ferent playing conditions helps one
TO play a mere flexible game.
Also the great variety OF 0ppo-
sitiOn and the many types Of
tennis which are encountered
teach players to adapt them.
selves more easily to change.
One Of the most fascinating fea-
lures Of Wimbledon IL the many ma
tionalities found there. From virtri-
ally every country in the world
come players who really love the
game.
What is particularly interesting to
note Ia the fact that these players
from many countries have exactly
the same spirit: the same standard
of sportsmanship prevails wherever
the game is played.
Even II Wimbledon were to ac-
compiish nothing else ii would be
good enough for those who go there
to find that the tennis players Of
every country who play there are
true sportsmen.

AMAZING SCOT

CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.-John
McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants, grabbed the baseball spot
light today with another one of his
breath.taking deals in the thick of
hot campaign. He announced
that Jack Scott. formerly a star
with the New York club but since
CONSIGNED to the minors and tagged
as dead wood, has been secured
fro.d the Toledo club OF the Ameri-
can Association in exchange for
Bill walker, promising young
southpaw.
This same Scott made an
amazing come bacIz with the
Giants In 1922. Released by
Cincinnati because OF sore
arm. he was given q job by
McGraw and helped pitch the
Giants to championship.
After the 1925 season Scott was
traded to the Phillies, but lost his
stuft and drifed back to Toledo.
The old Carolina farmer enjoyed
new lease on life this season,
however, and McGraw believes ne
can again weave his wizardry over

HER FOREHAND STROKE

By r. D. Thomas

Mel Shorey, of East Potomac
Park, is recognized as the
strongest player among Wash
ington's public links pros, but
it has come to be a hot ques-
ton whether Mel can prove
supremacy over the combined
talent of Walter Hall and AL
Farr, of Rock Creek.
Several weeks ago Shorey tried
his strength against the Rock Greek
pair. He was beaten to a fragile
by the others best ball, but the
defeat didn't feaze him. The Rock

Since their arrival here last week
to prepare for the clashes with
Americas golfing stars at the Chi
cago golf course at Wheaton, Ill.,,
August 80 and 81, almost every
one of the ten British players has
suffered from the warm weather and
the drinking of too much ice water.
One OF the visitors, A. r. Ma
calIum was seriously sick for sew
eral DAYS and he may not be able
to play at all.
DIR. William Tweddell, the hand.
some young English captain Of the
Britons. declared today he was
praying for cooler weather during
the Walker matches and admitted
the visitors golf might not be as
good as 1t should be IL the heat
continues. Cool windy days are the
desire OF the Britons, he said.
He minimized the reported
Illness of the BFitOns because
of ice water and said that while
change of water may have
affected some Of the stars last
week they were now in good
physical condition.
No member OF the British team,
unlike George Won Elm. one OF the
outstanding American players, goes
into strict training for golf matches.
Won Elm, now living in Detroit ana
formerly-Nof Los Angeles, trains foe
big matches just as prize fighter
conditions for a championship bout.
The English however, keep fit
merely by mot eating too much.
"We don't do any special exer-
else or live on a diet" Capt. G..
n. Martin of the regular British
army and member of the visit
ing Walker team, said today.
1--WE do cut down on the amount
Of food we eat and we don't

"Well. now, you might hear one
of us on a hot day such as YOU
have over here, say we wished he
had glass OF beer. but truly we
are getting along fine under you-
prohibition law" the captain re-
piled.
Captain Martin said that no In
toxicating liquor OF any kind had
been brought with the British to
America. He added that in England
no sensible player drinks anything,
except possibly a glass OF beer
very seldom, while preparing for
or playing in golf match.
While six of the ten visitors are
playing on American courses for
the first time, the Britons do not
expect to be greatly handicapped
because of unusual conditions. All
of the players, however, find Amer

OF artificial watering, which is not
done in the British isles,

Then too, at the championship
meeting in Paris and in England, at
the great Wimbledon. the standard
Of play is unbelievably high. Not
that we do not have good tennis al
the big tournaments in the United
States. Far from it, but it is more
difficult for all OF the worlds best
players to journey 3 900 miles to the
United States than il is for them
to take an overnight trip to Vim
bledon.
Therefore, while we have very
fine tennis in fine United States,
we do not have so much Of 1t
"a they do in Europe.
This IL especially true in the
tournaments for women The nigh
standard of play in the women n s
events at Wimbledon is especially
impressive. Right from the very
first round to the finals there are
matches which not only are inter
esting but which produce distinctly
high.grade tennis.
For example. in one Of the earlier
rounds this summer Senorita Lii de
Alvarez met Mrs. Covell in thrill
ing three-set encounter in which the
play was remarkable. Mrs. Covel
will be remembered as a member OF
the Wightman Cup team several
years ago.
: Since then she has been living in
India where she kept up her tennis
and improved her game considerably
as her match with the Spanish CIR
proved.

When the Pale Hose take the
field against Washington Grtffmen
today they will likely offer Walter
Shires, a 20-year-old kid from Waco,
Tex, at first base and Swanson, a
rookie from Rock Island at second
base. In addition, young Blackerby
may stroll around one of the
gardens.
Shires broke in with q splash
against the Red Sox yesterday. In
his first big league game he crashed
out four hits in five attempts, in
Guiding three agger, scored two
runs and drove in another.
Swanson has suppIanted Bill

BLACKBERRY has been alternating

success and may get into some Of
the games here IL only as g. pinch
hitter
Chalmer Cisxell is out of the White
Socks lineup because OF fractured
digit and his place Is being filled
by Redfern who has been a sort of
utility player all season.
The Pale Hose are but a game
and a half ahead OF the Griffs. A
clean sweep for the home boys
will boost them. As the Indians,
leading bv but two games, are
battling the As, 1t is possible for
the Griffs to hop right up into
fourth place, If they can but sweep
this series with the White Sox.

This appeared to be quite tue
but ShOrey presented no excuse.
The proposal to play again was
accepted with alacrity by ShOrey
and also Hall and FaT who
plainly were confident they
could turn the trick again.
But this time Mel stepped out
and won, 3 to 2. The East Poto-
