MODERN HICH-SPEED TENNIS FORCES
 RANKING PLAYERS TO LIGHT RACQUET
By TED VOSBURGH A. P. Sports Writer

Light racquets are the rule in this modern era of high-speed, hard hitting tennis. Only four of the first 20 ranking players in the United States use racquet weigh ing IA ounces or more.
 The heaviest war-clubs are swung by Francis T. Hunter, New Ro chelle, N. Y, veteran who ranks No. 2, and Herbert L. Bowman, New York, No. IT. Both use 14i2 ounce bat"
 Richard N Williams, 2nd, na- tional singles champion Is years ago and still good enough to rank eleventh in the country, is next in line with 14h -ounce racquet. pon that weighs just IA ounces. DO nthat weighs just IA ounces.
 John Doeg, No 3, the most pow erfully built of all the ranking tennis players, yields the lightest racquet. It is with 131s -ounce club that Doeg smashes his ter rife service into court. The late Dr. George King, No. Is, favored 13-ounce bat as he played his shots with pronounced wrist-snap.
 In general it appears that the players who lay most stress on driving game use the heaviest rac- quets while the volleyers, smash CTS and cannonball servers go in for a lighter weapon as best adapted for fast swinging. Williams. fine volleyer, is an exception to this rule.
 Doeg's racquet is quite a bit lighter than that of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody who swings a club which is exactly the same weight as that of Bill Tilden-131a ounces. This seems to be the most popular weight among the men, but six of the first ten ranking women play CTS use racquets of an even 13 ounces. Little Miss Ethel Burk- hardt of San Francisco, No. 8, a 5-foot, 110-pound slip of a girl, uses a "fly-swatter" of 12A ounces. the lightest of all.

PHILADELFnIA, July 23.-Chuck Klein of the Phillies here is one of your strong boys.
 He weighs 180 pounds and is just as hard as he hits Both are plenty hard. His hard physique is the re- suit of handling steel in the mil in Indianapolis. His hard hitting is due to the early practice he got from playing semi-pro ball after his day in the factory had ended
 He perfected both early. In this his third season in big league base ball, Klein intermittently has led National League sluggers in all branches of the hitting art.
 AS an index of his hitting, Klein was the first batter in either of the major leagues to register 100 hits
 He has been on top in batting percentage, number of hits, and runs driven home. At the same time he has been around the top in homers-hard liners over the right field barrier-and last year he led the league in the department.
 In Philadelphia Klein once hit a ball over the right field wall with q snap of his wrists.
 The Phililes picked up the blond slugger in 1928 from the Fort Wayne club in the Central league. He carried the phenomenally low tag of $7,500
 The New York Yankees, it is re- ported, recently paid just ten times as much for Meryl Hoag, young Sacramento outfielder. who has had no big league experience. At the time, Klein was hitting .331 in the bushes. He finished the season with the Phillies, and in GA games amazed everybody. and possibly himself, by travelling al a 360 pace in big time. His second year, 1929, Klein slashed out 219 hits, and lead in homers.

Environment, or rather change of it, has strange and often up- lifting effect upon ballplayers. This is not a new discovery, we may hasten to add Nevertheless, several salient examples furnished by the current and hectic major league campaigns make the subject worth commenting upon.
 -saTake the case of Hughey Critz A nice lad, they said of him in Cincinnati, and a swell fielder, yet Fthe. Reds let him go because of belief he could barely hit the size of his hat. Hughey brought his bats to New York, anyway, and no sooner began associating with the heavy hitters of the Giants than he embarked upon a personal orgy of walloping. Singles, doubles and even home runs rattled off Hughey's bludgeons. In a few weeks Critz added 25 points to a .230 av- craze, which is considerable when one figures what he had to begin { with.
 i. It way be the tall buildings, or it !. may be the fact that his team mates soften up opposition pitchers for him but Hughey is hitting. Cincinnar1 also may experience a twings upon glancing weekly at the averages and noting that Senor ! Adolfo Luque continues mainstay in the box for Brooklyn. The Reds ! got Buzz McWeeny for the Cuban perfecto and Buzz is no longer on | the major league premises. Alvin Crowder was in slump at ! St. Louis, so the Browns let him go to Washington in the Manush- l. Goslin deal, whereupon Alvin sud- denly regained effectiveness and won his first four starts for the Senators.
 It may be that Alvin is just an- ether Republican boy out to make good in the national capital or it may be the soothing influence of 2 Walter Johnson, but Crowder is an- other reason the Athletics have something to worry about.
 It was as far back as February that Frank Uefty) O'Doul, the 1929 batting king of the National League, breezed into the Phillies' camp at Winter Haven with the prediction tha t his club-mate, Chuck Klein, would be the boy to watch this year in the hitting han .dicap. It is now July and five months have elapsed but O'Douls prediction still stands.
 Tn fact these two friendly rivals and Phillie Phloggers, if proof readers will permit it, are having a rousing old battle for hitting hon. ors, with Bill Terry of the Giants and, Paul Waner of the Pirates in the not so far offing. Klein set a scorching pace for a few weeks but dropped back to let his team mate move on in front the first week in July
 Certainly the Phillies can n t blame their occupancy of last place

No American who likes to trust that al Is Tor the
best In this best Of all possible republics should ever
read the writings Of Charles Lathrop Peck. president
Of the American Tree Association For Mr.. Peck has
q way Of being disconcertingly blunt and outspoken.
In his latest broadcast, MI. Peck makes the follow
ing discouraging statement:
I'm the forests lies our economic salvation. With the
passing OF our forests. whose products keep the wheels
Of industry turning. would come the passing Of our
entire economic scheme. There is no article Of COM
merce into which cost of forest products does not
enter.
We have heard a great deal about the trade ex-
pansion program. Any such program means an in
creased call upon our forest resources. Let us take
stock We are cutting our forests about four and one
half times faster than we are renewing them
This is not reassuring. but 1t is worth listening to.
If Mr. Peck's reiteration Of unpleasant truths finally
awakens us to the seriousness Of our forest problem
he will have done the country a great service.

Legge Hammers the Debenture
Plan

Chairman Alexander Legge Of the federal farm
board is another public official who stands by his
plans as unsuitable and unavoidable for bolstering the
gun. In a receAt speech he denounced the debenture
world wheat market. He reiterated his plea for re-
duced wheat acreage and added the suggestion that
farms Of less than 800 acres were unsuited to wheat
or other small grain production and should be COM
bined with other units TO produce efficient farms.
Senator W.. z. Borah Of Idaho Is an advocate Of
the debenture plan. He will be returned by the vot-
ers of Idaho for another term of six years. President
Hoover defeated the debenture plan after democrats
and progressive republicans put it over in the SEN
ate. Senator Brookhart OF Iowa will revive the plan
the coming winter after the organization Of the new
congress.
It is significant that all the progressive republican
senators from the Middle West and the West and
the Northwest have been renominated and are GER
tain Of re-electino. Is there another deadlock con-
occasionally speaking scheduled for the opening ses-
sion Of the new c~ongress7 President Hoover may be

A definite pickup In American business this fan Is
predicted by Roger Babson, famous statistican, with
the remark that "the tremendous drop registered by
the Babseu chart since last September must soon strike
bottom If it has not already done So"
Thus MI. Babson adds his authoritative voice to the
growing chorus Of optimism. Colonel Leonard r. Ayres
Is another authority who sees in the near future a
return to more normal conditions. and others are fol-
lowing suit. The whole nation will devoutly hope that
these eminent prophets are not mistaken.
The depression has not. all in all. been as severe as
some in our history: but 1t has been bad enough. and
its slightly highest price has been the suffering and
deprivation undergone BY the families Of wage-earners
who have been unable to get work. Monetary losses
suffered BY corporations are insignificant In COM

c. sir Thomas, what comment have you to make
on the outcome Of the races?
A. What races?
O.. DO you feel that the defeats we're due to any
mistakes in handling the Shamrock v?
A.. The big mistake was In bringing her over.
G. - What do you think Of the Enterprise?
a.. Was that the boat 7 raced against?
c. 80 Yes. Have you any doubts OF 1t?
a. - No, but I never got close enough 20 her to
read her name? Neither did the crew.
@. - Do you feel that 1t was unfair to sail the first
two races In a fog?
A. - No indeed. From what I saw would have
liked it better If they had all been sailed In fogs.

A. She did.

different conditions2
A. - MY chief consolation is that she couldn't have

Q. Do you consider. in the light Of results. that
the Shamrock had adequate rigging?
a.. No; that's one point we're clear about now.

a. tunnels and a propeller.

"A. 80 I'm afraid SO. When a man acquires a habit
like that it's almost impossible to break 1t.
@. How many years have you been after the cup
now, Sir Thomas?
A. - About 30 years. boy and man.
@. - Does IT seem that long?
a.. My boy, IL seems longer. I thought the Sham

leg Of each race off Newport.
O. Do you feel 1t was good craftsmanship or not
for the Americans to build four yachts and hold all
summer trials to pick a defender when you had but
one boat and but ten days to tune her up on this side
of the ocean?
A. Yes, but after the first race they might have
let me swap the Shamrock for one Of the yachts they
had discarded.
@. Do you feel any major mistakes we're made by
Captain Heard In handling the Shamrock?
A Yes indeed There was one very vital error.
G. What was 1t?
A. II never should have tried to sail her with
