Club, who is far from being the long

Hopkins didn't either, but he laid a
pitch shot within six feet of the hole
on the first round and holed and putt
and sunk 10 footer on the next round

D. G. Gruver, with whom Hopkins
was playing, scored a 38 for the first

The course at Annapolis Roads is In
excellent condition. That course gets
more rain than do the layouts around
Washington. Every storm that comes
up over Chesapeake Bay seems to cut
loose over the golf club and turn tons
of water on the course. Dick Cook,
the club professional, says 1t rains at
Annapolis several times q week, which
would be blessing to greenkeepers at
some of the clubs around Washington.
Not many people know that the Annap-

IN WESTERN TENNIS

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 3.-Tennis as played
in Sunny Texas. particularly in Austin,
dominated the tuSsle for the Western
mems singles championships today on
the hard courts at River Forest.
AS the title fight entered the quarter

very much in the running and going
strong. They were Karl Klamath and
Joe Bill Bradley, junior stars, and Bruce
Barnes, one Of the sturdiest players In
the West. None of them had much
difficulty reaching the round.
One of them was certain to be elimi-
mated IN the Quarter-f1nals, however, as
the luck Of the draw aligned Barnes and
Kamrath against each other.
Chicago ranked second to Austin in
placing two OF its stars, George Jen-
nings and Charles Lejeck, in the quar-
terminals. Des MoineS, Iowa, had an
other in Harris Coggeshall, while the
other two places in the bracket were
up for decision today. Coggeshall had
q hard fight remaining in the cham
plonship race, being extended to three
SetS before he eliminated Earl Bossong,
Cnclnnatfs junior ace. 60, 2-6,
6-3. Coggeshall is paired against
Brally in the quarter finals.
For the two open places in the dtiar-
ter-f1nal bracket, Cliff Suffer of New Or
leans, national intercollegiate cham
pion, and Maurice Bayon, the Tulane
University star, were heavy favorites.
AS the women'S singles champion

The Listening Post
BY Walter Trumbull.

IF you want to get q line on the
probable winner of the American
League pennant watch the Yankees
in their next nine games. These
are important contests.
The New York club is scheduled to
play five contests with the Athletics
and four with Washington. These three
clubs are so close that every game they
play with each other Is "a crucial strug-
gle"
If any of the three clubs attain a
real advantage in the games to come
the others are going to be in a very
risky situation,
In the National League 1t still is
wholly possible for any of the first six
clubs to win the flag, but the probabili-
ties are that the race will continue to
be between Chicago, Brooklyn and New
York.
The Yankees are not going to be In
such good shape II Babe Ruth'S injury
slows him up or keeps him out of any
OF the games. I have seen the Babe
play when his big frame was practically
wrapped in surgeons plaster from head
to heel, but fingernail ripped off may
be more troublesome than a cracked
rib or sprained ankle.
1t may prevent Ruth from gripping
his bat in the usual manner, and, being
on his left hand, it also may affect his
throwing and even his fielding.
The only conclusion to be drawn is
that they either should pad the Babe
or pad the barrier. The Yanks can't
afford to have Ruth crippled when he
Is seeking the ball at his present gait.
A MOTHER ancient player appears to
"A be doing fairly we'll. William T.
Tilden Is once more in final match
at Wimbledon. Boratra fought with all
the vigor and fire for which he is noted,
but he couldn't turn back the old
champion. The Basque had plenty of
heart, but he didn't quite have the
stuff.
Now Wilmer Allison alone stands be-
tween Big Bill and another title. Al
lison Is some barrier to hurdle The
Texan also had a hard match in win
ming from Johnny Doeg, but he is
younger than Tilden and may re-
cuperate a bit faster.
But you can bet that the old master
will bring to play all the cunning and
skill he has acquired through the years.
He knows Allison's game and he will
make things as tough as possible for
him.
If Allison should beat Tilden, he GER
tainly will establish himself as one Of
the great players of the game. To trim
Cochet, Doeg and Tilden in consecutive
matches would be something for any
boy to dream about.
Had you said that there was q chance
OF such q thing before the tournament
started they would have rushed you
to a brain specialist.

Above the din Of shrieking sirens,

thousands Bobby managed to saw that

competitive golf: that lie had given no
thought to winning all four major

the American open and amateur vet to

that luck played large part in his

In the vanguard of welcomers who
met the liner down the bay were about
500 fellow townsmen who journeyed
from Atlanta to greet their favorite son
and escort him proudly up Broadway in
a shower Of paper and receive New
York'S ofhcial welcome from Mayor
Walker. First to embrace him when
he stepped aboard the city boat Macomb
were his father and mother.
The celebration ended with a dinner
at the Vanderbilt, after which Bobby
prepared to go to Minneapolis today to
play in the national open tournament
which begins next Thursday.
Carrying a motion picture camera,
Jones debarked from the Europa and
said he never felt better"
Luck Was with Him.
Even when you were playing?" he
was asked, for 1t is known that the
nervous strain In matches sometimes
upsets him.
"Oh, then, maybe was a little less
than 100 per cent" he answered. But,
on the whole, could not have been
better physically"
He corroborated the statement Of his
close friend, o. B. Keeler, who said he
did not play up to his usual form in the
competition abroad.
That's right" Jones agreed. but

important sometimes than playing

His mother and father will accom-
pany him, but his wife will return to
Atlanta and the Jones children, whom
she has not seen since she and Bobby

to prefer to leave quietly. He and hiH

Dutch partner, Hans Thinner.
Tilden and Thinner meet the great

by defeating Nine. Rene Matthew of

Miss Ryan gave one Of the greatest
exhibitions of pluck ever seen at VIM

spite the fact that the German girl
was playing one of the most brilliant
games of her career.
The two fought it out magnifcently

girl slipped when trying for far shot.
She got up gamely, limped to the base
