finals, while Miss Jacobs encounters
Edith Cross. of San Francisco, in the
finals for the women's trophy today
and should have no difficulty in
winning her second leg on the bowl
at the expense Of her neighbor from
across the bay.
Doeg's chief fault has been his
unwillingness to force himself, but
when he tackled Williams yesterday
he gave such an exhibition of ser.
vice, of control and of court cover.
ing that his future seems to be Of
exceptional brightness.
0oeg's service fairly sizzIed
and burned, and williams, who
had been smOthering all kinds
Of services in the earlier
matches, was wholly incapable
Of stopping the bullets that
were fired at him from Doeg's
racket.
It's not often that Williams is
aced, but that happened frequently
yesterday and his returns for the
most part were Intellectual tops to
| the net. williams was helpless
against Doeg in almost every phase
of play, for the blond Californian
hurried him and forced him into
| error upon error. Doeg got the
ball back so fast on the half and
full volley that the Philadelphia
was out OF position repeatedly, with
the result that his timing was
broken up. his deep court game
was ruined, and his sharpshooting
to the corners and the base line
became hardly. more than a series
of amateurish outs.
DOeg's control, on the other
hand, was just as brilliant as his
service and he combined this
with an ability to cover the
court that was marvellous to be-
hold.
The other big match on today's
card will be the final in the mems
doubles, in which Watson Washburn,
OF New York. and r. Norris Will
liams, of Philadelphia, will meet
Berkely Bell, of Texas, and Gregory
Mangin. Of Newark, with the odds
favoring the old Davis Cup pair.

WARWH]OP
CON TAG|OUS
At PARK

Your Uncle Nick Altrock s
pepper and spirit has played
its part in the recent showing
of the Washington Griffmen!
This is an idea advanced by
many followers of Walter Johnson s
club. The appearance of Altrock
in the firstbase coacher's box within
the past few days. they claim, has
instilled new life into the players
and spectators alike.
Nick's contagious war-whoop and
similar methods of noise producing
have unbalanced more than one
pitcher from time to time. And it
is doubtful il Rip Collins or Alvin
Crowder profited by his Snowman
ship during the last two games of
the Brown series.
When Nick strolled into the
coacher's box in the seventh inning
of Thursdays struggle, his club
was resting on the short end OF a
0-to-1 count.
