BATTLE

NEW YORK, March 16-Father
Knickerbocker forgot all about
the French menace and the threat
from the South today, as the 80
survivors in the National Indoor
tennis championships prepared to
do battle in the second round at
the Seventh Regiment Armory.
Jean Borotra, Christian BouS-
SuS, Cliff Sutter and Berkeley Bell
were temporarily sidetracked by
the old gentleman as he settled
down to enjoy such battles as
Marko Recht VS.. Eddie Jenkins,
Bill Aydelotte VS.. Merritt Cut
Ter, Frank Bonneau VS.. Sidney
Seligson and several other strictly
local encounters.
With the high seeded visitors
all drawing "setupS" for their
SecOnd-rOund matches, the fans
must look to New YOrk'S own
private clashes for their thrills
and hard-fOught battles.
Marko Hecht, 16-year-old De
Witt Clinton High School star,
is the P. S. A. A. champion. Ed
die jenkins, Jr., captain of the
crescent A. C. team, is the Brook
lyn titleholder. They meet to de-
eide who will play Sutter in the
third round tomorrow, and a
whale of a match is certain to
result from their clash.
The match between Frank Bon
neau, New York Tennis Club
captain, and Sidney Seligson, last
of the N. Y. U. survivors, is an
other interesting meeting which
has all the earmarks of a hard
fought battle. Bonneau hits
them hard, wide and handsome,
let the errors fall where they will.
Seligson's no shrinking violet
himself. An extra-set match is
the outlook here.

TAk0MA CARDS
ORGANIZE

TAKOMA PARK, Md, March
16.-There will be one real out
standing baseball team in this
community this season.
Sergt. Earl Burdine, Of the
Montgomery county police, is
the authority for the above
statement and anyone doubling
his confident declaration need
only call Shepherd 2100 and a
game to settle the dispute will
be arranged.
Burdine has gathered a likely
looking assortment of players
and his team will play under
the name of TakOma Cardinals.
Included in the roster Of the
Red Birds are George Skinner,
Ralph Spencer, Blair Lee Null
ligan and Teddy Rain, out
fielders; Jimmy Monroe, former
Eastern High School star,
catcher; Johnny Pope, Neal
Stull, Heaton Skinner and
Johnny Saunders, pitchers, and
Albert Stewart, HoOley Gass,
Chester Mills, ex-Tech High
star; Bing Miller, Joe Donald
son and Marvin Kelley, in
fielderS.
Good as he believes his boys
to be, Burdine welcomes addi-
tions and says that it is not
necessary for the applicant to
live in Takoma Park. Games Will
be played Sundays, Saturdays
and holidays either at the Ia
koma playground, the home field
of the Cardinals or on the oppo-
nents' diamond.
There's one item that Burdine
considers necessary, and that's
neat uniforms. The Takoma boys
will sport gray suits with red
cardinals sitting on the end of a
bat, and the word Takoma bla-
zoned across the shirt.
A dinner and dance, to be held
at the Takoma Park Volunteer
Fire Department Hall, April 7,
has been selected as the only
thing needed to give the team
impetus for a successful season.
