AMERICAN TENNIS

Counny's Representatives Seem to Have an Edge on Opponents

New York, May q (UP)-Recent developments in the world of tennis have tended to cast more roseatc hue over American prospects for 1929.
 The American Davis cup team. minus those old time stars-Bill Tlden and Francis Hunter-slash- ed it's way through the first round Davis cup matches with Canada and to great straight vic tory and now look to the contest with Japan for the right to enter play.
 From Europe comes the word that Tilden and Hunter have shown return to form in the French court championships and will be available for Davis cup play should the United States team emerge >ic- torious in it's zone play. Dispatches from Auteuil. where the French titles are being decided, would have you believe that Tilden, whose rule on American courts has made him a tennis tradition. is back in top form. slashing the hol- low ball viciously, accurately and effectively.
 Another glance at those de- spatches, however, would show that the opinion is based on the showing of the No. 1 ranking star of this nation on the basis of his | play in but one match-a first round doubles affair in which he was matched with Hunter. There is a great possibility that chroniclers of the match were bit over jealous. | Hunter, however. showed excel lent form in his match with Tilden and in the mixed doubles engage ment he played with Miss Helen Wills, American queen, as his part ner.

 A charming little picture of wild life on our golf courses shows what happened to the fussy Mir. Bangs. Mir. Bangs started out in a mild hammered foursome for Q game of golf. He wore swell golf clothes, had neat set of sticks, beauti- full swing and looked for all the world like 8 golfer. His tee shot was okay. So was his second to the green. Ais partners were beginning to think they had selected well in picking him for partner. And then they reached the green.
 On the first green, Mr. Bangs made complete circuit of the green while Mir. Jenkins vas trying to get his long putt into the cup. He walk ed clear around the edge of the green and never even stopped when he got in Jenkins line of vision.
 On the second green. he put the blade of his butter on the toe of his shoe and spun it. The reflection just happened to catch Mir. kemp's eye as he was putting. Just a sec ond before Kemp hit the ball. Mir. Bangs dropped the butter on the green.
 On the third green Mr. Bangs stood within three feet of the hole and cleaned his ball. He used his handkerchief and it waved like . flag as the three golfers tried to putt.
 On the fourth green he - but why go on? The terrible truth is that Mir. Bangs green department was terrible and it SO worked on the nerves of his fellow golfers that on the ninth green the hogtied him and left him tied to the pin.
 stand still on the green while your partners are putting. Don't be always moving around. Give your partners an even chance to hole their butts. Stay as far away from the hole and the player as possible.

HIGH SCHOOL GAME
Hartford and New Britain scheduled to Meet in CapitalsCity Tomorrow Afternoon.

Unless rain makes necessary a third change in the Hartford and New Britain high school game, the contest will be played in Hartford tomorrow afternoon after school. It will probably get under way at about s o'clock.
 It is probable that Stanley Par tyka will be given the call to pitch, but Herman Schmarr will be ready if he is called. The rest of the line up will remain the same with the probable addition of Billy Ross to the regular team. Ross outfield play in the kensington contest has sent his stock up several points.
 Hartford high is not having a good season and as the New Britain team is not doing much better both teams should be evenly matched.

 The High school baseball team faces two hard games this week. The first will be played tomorrow in Hartford against Hartford High while the second will be with, the et. Thomas Seminary nine in this city Saturday afternoon. This will be the first time that permission has been given the Seminary team to leave Hartford to play.
 Coach George Cassidy of the high school team planes one bad throw in the game with kensington last 6aturday afternoon for the IF runs which followed in the fourth, inning. Bogdanski. mistaking the coach who had . glove on. for his fielder, peg Eed the ball to him and this started tho ball rolling. This would have been an easy out, making two for the high school and 1t would prob ably have stopped the rally which gave the game to Kensington.
 The West Ends baseball team will practice tomorrow night at 6:30 o'clock It Willow Brook park. All members of the team and new cam didates are urged to attend the workout.

Coach Kipke and Graduate Man
