Penney is priding himself on a
real find in the two Alexander
brothers, Joe and John. AS out
fielders they showed up well in the
White Bluffs game and promise
great accomplishments in the flu
ture.
Sunday afternoon, April l.,
White Bluffs will play return
game with Kennewick on the local
diamond. The probable lineup for
this scrap is: Reigle, S. S; Seavy,
End; Johnson, LIST; Joe Alexander
IF; Higley 3rd; John Alexander
i. f; Hudnall p. or 1st; Montgom-
cry, catcher; Klum, p; with

KENNEWICK
WINS 1ST GAME
Close Play Features First
Baseball of Season
Play Here Sunday

The Kennewick baseball team,
under management of Penney Fer
rell. journeyed to White Bluffs
Sunday where they decisively de-
feated the FASTENERS of that city,
q to 1. The score of the contest
was: Kennewick z runs, 6 hits and
6 errors; White Bluffs, / run, 8
hits and A errors.
Judging from this record one
might be inclined to think the
game one-sided with Kennewick
having all the best of it, however,
such was not the case as in every
inning except two, the White
Bluffs team had men on bases and
made fewer errors than did the
Kennewick fellows. Victory was
due mainly to the exceptionally
pitching Of Klum, the local twirler
who remained steady in the pinch
es and was able to keep in control
of the situation at all times. Hud-
nall at first and Reigle at short,
as well as the entire Kennewick
infield, played good ball.
During the first few minutes of
play Kennewick scored twice. Rel
gle was hit by a pitched ball and
took his base, Montgomery walked
and Hudnall followed with drive
TO second which was muffed.

versa, it naturally follows that you
won't be able to get good results.
Too many times purchasers OF golf
clubs are influenced by the feel OF
a club. They pick one up, it feels
perfect and so they buy it without
regard to it's lie or its weight.
The safe way is for a beginner to
go to an instructor and get his adj
vice as to the kind of clubs he
should buy. A great deal of money
will be saved if this is done.
Today of course the problem is
less difficult than it used to be.
for today the manufacturers are
putting out matched sets in which
the clubs bear a relation to each
other. But even now it will be well
for the beginner to consult a pro-
fessional. for a matched set that is

HOME RUNS NOT
BABE s BIC AIM
BY Babe Ruth

CLEVELAND. Sept. 24.-All SUM
mer long, in my stories, I've been
talking about team work and what
it~meant to a ball club.
The big league races right now
prove what + have been talking
about. In this battle down the
stretch Babe Ruth's home runs or
Lefty Groves strikeouts don't mean
a thing Lou Gehrig's hitting and
Waite Hoyt's earned run average
don't mean anything either-except
so far as they effect the team and
bring victory or defeat.
Big league ballplayers all know
that-and there isn't man in the
big leagues who hasn't learned 20
sacrifice individual stuff in favor
of the team. Here's poof.
I've heard Waite HOyt go to
Higgins and volunteer to pitch
out Of turn i'm order tO save
hall games: I've seen high class
star pitchers pick up their
gloves without a word and go
down in the bull pen with the
rockies, because they figured
they might be needed.
Some of my friends have asked
me lately why / wasn't trying for
home runs. | didn't know that it
was apparent from the stands that
| wasn't But the fact is that ]
figure that what the Yankees need
right now is basehfts-and If, by
shortening my grip and changing
my swing. l can get two singles
where one home run grew before,
figure it's my job to do It.
In other words teamwork Is what
counts in baseball. And mark this
down too. 1t won't be star players
who win the pennant. The team
that wins the pennant will be the
team that is best-balanced; The team
that gets the best all round work
from its players.
Baseball is a game for teamwork
and any kid who starts to play
the game has got to learn that one
fact first of all.

not give her opponent an opportunity
to get set for her return.
Mrs. Wightman'S overhead was, as
usual, very effective. She has one
of the outstanding overhead smashes
in womcn'S tcnnis-accuratc, severe
and extremely disconcerting because
its direction is concealed.
A word must be said about Mrs.
Wightman's doubles game, which
was displayed To fun advantage dur
ing the national. Her knowledge of
doubles tactics is a hyword in ten
mis- circles. Her overhead, of course,
is big asset.
Her sharply angIed short vol.
IeyS and her deep Iobs are also
valuable. She combines all of
these. using each at the right
moment. Her ability TO use the
timely shot and do the correct
thing In doubles Is equaled by
few other players.
The string of doubles titles which
has gone to Mrs. Wightman almost
takes ones breath. With different
partners she has won the national
women's doubles five times and the
national mixed doubles six times.
On five occasions she has garnered
the national women's indoor doub! rs
and for like number of years
she has captured the national indoor
mixed doubles. Truly remarkable
record!
Mrs. Wightman's keen interest
in the game has led her to do
much for tennis Her encourage.

Boston has brought forth several
promising girls and as donor IF

Mrs. Wightman's presence in the

then IN 1910 and 1911. and, after
