TEMPLE To PLAY
c. j. TODAY

It may mean something, and
again it may mean nothing; it all
depends on how one takes ones
baseball. High school lads usually
take their baseball seriously, so
tomorrow's game between Central
and Business in the high school
series, while it has no bearing on
the outcome of the championship,
nevertheless should be productive
of good baseball.
Business, by winning, can get no
worse than a tie for the cellar and
possibly can escape sharing that
unenviable position. On the other
hand, Central, whose only victory
in the series has been protested by
Coach Ahern, of Western, over
which 1t was scored. if it doesn't
come through tomorrow may suffer
the ignominy of not having won a
game if Coach Ahern's protest is
allowed. It will be Centrals last
game, Eastern and Tech both hav-
ing won from her. Business has
dropped both of it's encounters.
TOday's program is topped
by the Temple Georgetown game
on the Hilltop at $3.50 o'clock.
The visitors are a good ball
club and have quite a record
to date.
However, they will find the Hill
toppers a much improved team over
that which represented, George
town some two weeks ago. Packy

less they revert to the poor form
they showed in earlier games, have
an even chance of coping the

VETERANS LOSE
At TENNIS

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-The
dawn Of a new era in American
tennis was seen today as the re-
suit of developments in the Davis
Cup tryouts here.

Wilmer Allison, Of Fort Worth,
Tex, and John Van Ryn, of East
Orange, N. j., were named to repre-
sent the United States against Ca.
NADIA at Montreal on May 16, IL

Chicago, in reserve for an emer-
gency summons. These selections
had been forecast, inasmuch as Lott
had expressed his desire to follow
his tennis and other athletic pur.
suits at the University of Chicago
and William T. Tilden and Francis
T. Hunter. first and second ranking
players, were not candidates for the
Canadian matches.
But developments which were
not forecast were the defeats
of Tilden and Hunter In both
the singles and doubles in prac-
tiCe matches at the tryOuts,
Hennessey swamped Tilden,
6-1. Ga; Van Ryn beat
Hunter, 4-6, Ga, "a: and

courts. 1t having been expected that
one or both would be called upon to
play in the challenge round with
France.
But in view of their defeats yes.

day that a new milestone in tennis
history had been reached and that

HANDCLJF +
LEFTHAND
HIT TER5
BY Bob Thayer

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 9.
That seven other American
League clubs are playing for
the Griffmen's left-hand bat
ting order was never more
clearly evidenced than yester-
day.
In the first place Manager Roger
Peckinpaugh started Walter Miller,
his southpaw prize, against the visi'
tors. This marked the second con-
eecutive portsider that the Indians
have used against the Washington
club.
The tip-off presented itself in the
third inning, though, when with two
! out and as many on, Miller inten-
,tionally walked Joe Judge and cre'
eted a full house in order to get
Sam West.
West, whose weakness against
lefthanded pitching is becoming
a matter of record among Ameri-
=. can League singers, vindicated
.Miller's judgment by tanning
hOpelessly.
So pitiful was this performance
that Acting Manager Clyde Milan
nnercifully substituted pinch hitter,
Ossie Bluege, for Sam in the fifth
when another scoring opportunity
presented itself. That Bluege failed
to come through with a hit may be
directly attributed to Sam Rice's
weird base running.
Vests continued slump against
forkhanders can mean only one of
two things; either the right hand
batting outfielder sought by Presi-
dent Clark C. Griffith, must be 10
Gated in short order or else Red
Barnes, the Alabama boy, should
be given the job in centerfield.
Barnes plays best in the mid-pas-
ture. Covering plenty Of ground
and being flyhawk Of ability he
can also connect with all kinds of
pitching. Whereas West is practi-
cally a total loss against south
paws, the 'Redhead is always a
tough customer, no matter who he
faces.
There is growing suspicion
that President Griffith may
have q line on his desired out
field i'm which event some action
may be expected shortly.
Should this player be located, as
Is hoped Sam would probably re-
main in the lineup against the
right handlers, giving way to his
alternate when sidewinders are
worked.
Another solid swinger cutting
from the right side should do much
to instill a punch into the now woe
fully weak offense Of the Griffmen.
) Only four right-hand batters have
faced the firing squads of the oppo-
eition regularly to date, Bluege,
Hayes, Cronin and Ruel having seen
considerable service. None Of these
are crowding the 800 mark though
Bluege, who has been resting with
twisted leg, has always been con-
Eidered dangerous in pinch.
1 Stewart. Spencer and Gooch, the
shock troops who take right-hand
swing, have yet to show anything
worth mentioning, though Stewart s
speed probably would help him at
the bat were he played regularly. -.

the batting order is balanced with
the addition of the man now sought,
