DOEG'S STEADY PLAY
DEFEATS WILLIAMS

SEABRIGHT, N. j., August 3.-The
fate that overlook Richard Norris Will
liams, I'd, in the final OF the tourna-
ment OF the Seabright Lawn Tennis and
Cricket Club in 1921. 1922 and 1928.
when he lost to william Johnston of
San Francisco, awaited him again yes
terday at the end of the trail along
which he made so gallant a comeback
in the thirty sixth annual holding of
this turf court fixture.
This time also it was a Californian
who brought the winning streak of the
37-year-old Philadelphia veteran to an
end and John Doeg, 20-year-old stan
ford University sophomore, stands as the
holder of the massive challenge bowl on
which are inscribed the names of Will
liam Tilden, Vincent Richards, Howard
Kinsey and John Van Ryn.
The defeat Of the veteran interna-
tionalist, who. was playing tennis in
Switzerland before Doeg had been born,
and who won the Achelis Cup here in
1914, 1915 and 1915, was accomplished
in three sets, Ga, rs, SIS. That
score. in spite of the fact that it was
compiled against an opponent whose
racket turned against himself, stands as
one of the most notable performances
the young Californian has turned in in
his most successful season on the courts.
His play was too steady for williams.
Other results yesterday were:
Women's Doubles.

L. A. Harper defeated Miss Marjorie Morrill,

 1f you were playing on n snow- covered green and wearing snow shoes. you certainly would not walk across your partners line of putt.
 You wouldn't expect him 10 putt over the heavy tracks between his ball and the cup.
 The same reasoning applies to an ordinary grass green except you can't see the tracks as we'll. Don't ever walk across your part ner's line of putt.
 If you must cross the green be- tween his ball and the cup step over his line of putt. It is a simple bit Of green courtesy which is ex- pected by most seasoned golfers.
 Watch n foursome Of golf stars and you'll notice they are ex- tremely careful about this point. They know that a heavy heel step- ping exactly on tho line q ball must travel can cause the ball to kick to tho left or tho right. They know that the grass ruffed up by the spikes can cause . putt to leave the line.
 The closer to the cup you are on the green the more careful you should be on this point for the slower the ball is travelling the more apt it is to hop off line when it hits . heel print.
 Be considsrate on the green - step over the line of putt.
