The two "JohnnieS" were easily SUI
pertor to their opponents yesterday, as
the scores would indicate. Van Ryn
In the opening match experienced no
difficulty in subduing Tapia In fact,
he did not even have to do his usual
stuff, for the Tapia who ran Wilmer
Allison ragged last Thursday was
scarcely in evidence during the entire
encounter.
Not to belittle Van Ryn's performance
for he was on his toes-the young
Latin did not appear to be in form.
Perhaps this was due partly to the
terrific pace set by the stalwart Amer
lean, but no doubt it was due in part
to the fact that Tapia was hurried
from a late luncheon into the match
which he had expected, to play an hour
later than 1t was scheduled. Van Ryn
scored, 60, e3, 6-l.
Johnny Doeg so completely outclaSSed
the 19-year-old Sendel that there was
nothing to the match except for an
occasional squirt Of speed on the part
Of the youngster and the frequent serv-
Ice aces from Doeg's flashing racket.
Doeg completed his conquest in some
60.
Following the wind-up Of information
al team play, a. lively exhibition set
was staged in which Van Ryn, teamed
with Manuel Llano, Mexican Davis Cup
captain, downed Doeg and Ignacio de
Borbolla, 6-3. Some spectacular ex-
changes and skillful passing made this
contest more colorful than the others
from the standpoint Of the gallery
of more than 1000.
Have Not Met Best.
While the Americans have not vet
laced real test, 1t Is evident that they
are playing in good form and should be
able to cope with opponents on the
other side of the big pond. Whom they
Will meet In the interzone final Is a
moot question, but the chances are that
1t will be Australia or Japan.
Whether or not Bill Tilden will join
the team before the challenge round
II at all-is another unanswerable uues-
ton, according to Fitz-Eugene Dixon,
American non-playing captain. With
Big Bill to add level-headed experience
to the youthful Yankee squad, Dixon's
outfit should be something to reckon
with. Even without the aid of Americas
greatest ace of all time, the prospects
are not gloomy.
Van Ryn and Allison have proved
themselves brilliant doubles combina-
ton, and each Is able TO hold his own
in singles, though Allison is somewhat
cratic on the singles court. John Doeg

ing a kiss for good measure, word
passed around the gallery that his
mother had arrived in time to see his
smashing victory. But she is the
teams "mother''-not Johnny's alone.
Her name is Mrs. Fitz-Eugene Dixon
and she has adopted the entire squad
Capt. Dixon, by the way, is quite an
interesting net figure and but for an
injury suffered to his foot some time
ago he might be making history In
international competition. During col
lege days he was champion of Prince

and has not given up the game rs

fine RuStom Pasha; Silver Flare, Bally-

Place Left Thumb
To Right of Shaft
BY SOL METZGER.

Walter Hagen brings out an in
teresting point about the grip for the
drive. 1t concerns the left thumb.
Place It down the shaft somewhat to
the right, but be careful not to have
it on top.
The reason is clear when you view
the hands at the top Of the back
swing. That part Of the shaft of
your club that is on top at address
is underneath when the top Is
reached.
Thus, if the left thumb is directly
on top of the shaft at address 1t will

be forced to support the weight of the
club at the top. Such q position
puts strain upon it and causes ten
sion Of the wrists, which must be
avoided at all costs If one Is to swing
the clubhead through with the hands

ally.

HITTERS FAIL

Hard Sluggers,
Are in National
Cellar
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Major league teams with good
pitching are progressing pennant-
ward. The Brooklyn Robins, whose
moundSmen have played important
parts in keeping them at the head
Of the National league, produced
the seasons best example Of what
q pitcher can do yesterday when
Watson CLARK pitched a n hit
game against the Pittsburgh Pirates
TO gain q 5 to 0 victory.
His performance missed perfec-
ton by a slim margin. Pie Traynor
touched him for a single in the
second inning and promptly was
thrown out attempting to steal.
A little later Engle drew Pitts
burgh's only walk. Only once be-
fore this year has a team failed to
make more than one hit in a game.
Bob Grove Of the Athletics limited
Detroit to a single blow in a five
inning affair, July !.
In contrast to Brooklyn there are
the Phillies, the leading hitting
club OF the National league, who
are clear down at the bottom OF
the standing because their rivals
hit just as hard against them.
The Phillies were on the short end
OF q z TO 6 score against the st.
Louis Cardinals yesterday to take
thei- twentieth beating in their
last p games. They used three
hurlers ineffectively while Burleigh
Grimes went the route for the
Cards. Chicago and Boston PLAYED
a similar game, the Cubs winning
? to 8 as young Bob Osborn out

though each team made nine hits.
