it.
The cream of the nations ping
pongers from Ohio, westward, ana
from Detroit to the Mexican gull
are we'll aware that Jimmie plays
ping pong. In the past six months
he has taken eighteen tournaments
from them, faltering in none. In
Guided in his titles are champion
ships of Indianapolis, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan and the western and the
southern crowns.
Like Alexander, Jimmie is finding
conuuerable worlds fewer and fewer.
The pinnacle of his fashy career on
the green topped tables will be his
participation in the national ping
pong tourney in Cleveland next
weekend, April 6, 7 and 8.
The Indianapolis lad is one OF the
favorites, if not the favorite in the
national event, although he will be
only one in a field of almost 100.
THE fellow I've got to beat there, -
he said, SIS Sam Silverman, from
New York, the eastern champ"
80 what, Jimmie?'' he was asked,
"They tell me he's tough" Jim
ME said. And that was all.
A year and a half ago Jimmie
and joel Inman, another Indian
apolis youth now known nationally
because of his adeptness with a
ping pong paddle, started playing
the game at friends house. Their
skill and their devotion to the pas
time grew apace, until they began
to attract attention of several local
experts of established standing.
Tournament competition followed,
and improvement Of their technique
was steady, until this year Jimmie
has had a sweeping season, with
Joel not far behind.
To watch Jimmie at a table, even
with only a casual knowledge OF
the sport, is to realize that the
lad is a champion. His speed, his
repertory of overspinS and back
spins, chops, forehands, slices and
cuts are amazing, and his intui-
ton on volleys and services no
less so.
speed, good eyesight, and accu-
rate anticipation of what's coming
next are the big things in winning
ping pong games" Jimmie eX-
planned.
He thinks out his games in adj
vance, planning on placements, the
type of game he will play, and

bination.' They pointed out the I'M
wisdom Of using Lindsey, Frey or
Shaute in the box on that day be-
cause the first two rated only four
good points to one bad point, and
and the last three good points to
one bad, whereas Benton rated
seven good to one bad.
In view of the fact the Reds had
won the fray, OFarreu pondered
the chart more closely.
Say" he exclaimed, that is al
most the winning lineup. Of course,
he had one too many infelderS. He
says here to use Mallon at center
field And the batting order is not
quite that I used. But the lineup
is so nearly the same I think I'd
better look over what this fellow
sends me in the future"
So the Oldest nickname in base
bali may pass from existence this
year and the Cincinnati Reds be-
come the Cicipnati AstralS.
