Golf Clubs Mean Little 7en Picks Three Young Tennis Hopes

take any kind of golf club and play any
kind of shot with it, from a big iron
down. But most people can't do that
and that is why 1t doesn't pay always
to pay too much attention to the club
the other fellow has played successful
shot with. His No. iron may have the
loft Of your No. 3, or it may have the
push of your No. !. The numbers mean
little and the way the shot is played
means much.
Henry d. Nicholson, the washington
Club champion, used to have a nnongrel
club he called maShie nil,lick, which
he used for anything up tu ITS yards.
When he was asked what club he played
for q shot between rs and ITS yards,
the answer usually was MY mashie
niblick." One day George T. Howard
looked at that "mashie nihlick" and dis
covered that 1t had the loft of a mid
iron. And now no one pays any more
attention to "Nick's" mashie niblish
shots for they know them for what they
are. Frank X. Roesch, former club title
holder, can make his "mashie niblick"
perform In much the same way. Frank
can make a 1S0-yard shot with the club
he calls ''mashie nihlick," where an
other man would have trouble getting
100 yards with the same club. It's all a
matter Of now the ball is hit and not
the numbers.

YANKEE POLO -FOUR
APPEARS SETTLED
Pedley, Hopping, Guest and
Hitchcock Seen Sure to
Oppose Britons.
by the Associated Prem.

by the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, August 2S-Tf
M yesterdays test match is any
criterion, the American polo
team that will line up against
the British in September's interna-
tional matches, will consist of Eric
Pedley, Earle Hopping, Winston Guest
and Capt. Tommy Hitchcock.
In the most sweeping victory of the
long series of test matches, Capt. Hitch
cocks Varsity rode rough shod over
the Jayvee Reds, winning Is to 8, and
seven of the Reds goals were con-
coded by handicap. Against the great
defensive play of Hitchcock and Guest,
the Jayvee forces were able to score
from the field only twice.
Switching his offensive tactics, the
American captain combined with Guest
in frequent rushes down the field, often
ending with q score. The offensive
playing Of Hitchcock and Guest indi-
Gated that the American backficld Is
as much scoring threat as the for
wards. Hitchcock led the scoring, tai
lying six goals in addition to setting
up the ball for three other goals.
Pedley, who has been averaging a
goal q period for the last eight games
at No. /, tailed only four times and
1t was mainly because Of the brilliant
work of Elmer BoeSeke, IT,, playing
back on the Reds, that the flashy
Californian was held in check.
Hopping, back with the Varsity after
being supplanted by Cecil Smith and
RUDE Williams for week, scored four
goals.
Al Singer, lightweight champion, has
been fighting only three years.

Suffer. He has brilliant killing strokes
in all departments, but like all players
who 60 out for the kill on every shot
he is prone to wildneSS, hitting streakf
of errors that will beat him. Vines il
not anything like the stylist Wood and
Suffer are. There Is not the ease OF
certainty of stroke production.
On the other hand, he has far greater
power than Suffer and possibly more
than Wood. However, unless Vines
adds a Sounder defense to his attack
I cannot see him as future champion
Defense in these days Is Of equal i'm
poftance with attack, and Vines in his
desire to hit every shot hard has sacri-
feed his defense.
There Is only one serious danger fac
ing Sidney Wood. That Is his OWL
physical frailness. He overcomes much
OF this by his tremendous courage and
nervous force, but the long grind OF
international tennis may prove too
much for even Sidney's fighting spirit
to overcome,
Vines, like Wood, is inclined to frail-
ness, but his greater height gives him
less work to do. Suffer. physically, is
the soundest of the three, but he lacks
the nervous energy 50 vital to success
that marks both Wood and Vines.
They are three very promising young
sters. Wood and suffer are certain
first 10 men this year, with Vines a
most likely candidate.
Immediately behind the three I have
mentioned one must place Bryant
Grant, jr., of Atlanta and Richard
Murphy of Utica, N. Y. These boys
are coming fast this year.
Grant, as national clay court cham
pion, has slight edge on Murphy. The
Albanian is a remarkable base lire "a.
turner, featuring his ability to run more
than he does his strokes. He must
gain attack, If he is to go far. Murphy
is left-hander with a fine forehand
and clever match brain. He needs a
better service and a sounder backhand
before he can quite hit the top.
All in all, think 1880 has uncovered
fine group Of promising young stars
with Sidney Wood as the outstanding
prospect for a really great player.

BILL LAUDS WOOD,
SUFFER- AND VINES
Calls First Named a Genius
and Also Sees Promise
in Other Two.
DE- WILLIAM =. TILpEN. ID.

N YEW YORK, August 28.-I have
been home over two weeks,
during which time have had
q chance to see the group of
young players who have come to the
fore during my trip abroad and whom,
though have watched in the past,
have not had until now q chance to
study.
There are three outstanding figures
among this group. Clifford Suffer,
Sidney Wood and Ellsworth Vine. Their
order of importance from the stand
point of future greatness is Wood, Sui
ter and Vines.
find in Sidney Wood, as he played
at Southampton, much of genius and
practically all the attributes Of cham
pion. There is no real weakness in
his stroke equipment. He has that in
tangible something called "touche" that
marks Cochet, Lacoste, Borotra, john
Ston and the others who were decidedly
great. There is certainty and au-
thority to Woods stroking that all the
other boys lack.
Is Clever Tactician.
Yet it is not his strokes alone that
make Wood so dangerous. He is a
clever tactician. He has a widely varied
game bnaL ne mixes according TO his
opponents weakness. Wood is a born
match player. Only such a born play
er could produce the sensational win
ners at match point or at the most
critical moment of a match as Wood
did to beat Lott, Shields and Allison
at Southampton on successive. days.
There was no luck to these shots.
It was simply that in the crisis Wood
picked out the only winning opening
and played for it and above all made
it. I consider Sidney Wood the most
improved young player in America and
showing all the earmarks of a coming
champion. Clifford Suffer is a fine
tennis player. He has an easy all
court style with excellent court-covering
abilities. He lacks great attack both
in his strokes and temperament. He is
a smooth working machine that will
produce fine results for a long while.
He should be a more consistent per-
former than either Wood or Vines, but
cannot see him becoming quite the
player Wood promises to be. Suffer
has excellent match temperament and
good judgment, but he needs to gain
more speed of shot. There is no real
weakness in his stroke equipment, yet
there is no great strength either. He
does not have any real killing punch
in his game.

French Scientist Says
 He Doubts New Planet

Paris, April 1 (HD - The impor- tance of planet "N" discovered by the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff Arizona, was questioned today by Fcrnand Balbet, associate astrono- mer at the government observatory Meudon. M. Balbet in a note pre- sented 10 the academy of sciences reported that he had observed the "planet' March 21, but estimated its diameter as only little over 4,OO0 miles instead of the 10000 which he said the American obser- Nation reckoned.
 He opined that the astronomical body Was only one-five- e-hundredth the size of the earth. Because of his divergence of view with the Lowell observatory astronomers he suggested that there should be fur ther observation before accepting it as a real planet.
