TABLE TENNIS ACES
AMAZE WITH SKILL
Stars Thrill 1000 as U. S.
Players Rally to Beat
Europeans Here.
RY RIJI DISMER JR


IF YOU had told the average sports
fan three weeks ago that 1000 of
his ilk would burst into spon-
A. taneous cheering at table tennis,
he'd have called the wagon. Yet he
probably was among those at Heurichs
gymnasium last night unable to re-
strain themselves during two and one
half hours of precedent-setting ex-
hibition by world champions of the
game.
Precedent-setting because it prob
ably marks the birth of public sup
port for table tennis in Washington.
The game here is two years old, OFF,
cially, but not until last night, when
sell-out house watched America
twice rally to grab 80 victory over
two Europeans who have been playing
since the game assumed an interna-
tional status, has the general public
known what it was all about.
Skill is Amazing.
THEY said it was the worlds fastest
game; that it required personal
speed beyond the imagination. But
not until after seeing the sport played
by the best can one know the un-
canny ability to return the little white
pellet from all angles which may be
developed by constant practitioner
These boys actually reached to within
inches OF the floor is feet back of
the tables end to return the celluloid
to their opponents court. It would
be miracle" shot for you and me;
1t was regular thing with them.
Service doesn't seem to be delivered
with a great deal of speed, but when
the rallies begin-Well, they'll soon
begin testing a table tennis balls
speed for comparison with Walter
JohEson's old smoke ball and Babe
Ruth's home-run drive the moment it
left the bat. incidentally, Sander
Glance (who thinks the American ban
against it should be modified) gave a
perfect exhibition Of "chiseling" as he
was forced into strictly defensive
game by the terrific speed of World
Champion Standa Kolar in the eve
nlng's first match. Kolar won by
scores Of ALT, 21-1O.

TOMORROW.
Santa Anita and Hialeah both set
records for mutuel play the last sea-
son, and, too, attendance and betting
has been larger than ever before at
the other Winter tracks. 1t is .ex-
pected the return of prosperity also
will be evidenced at Bowie and the
Spring meetings at the other Mary
land tracks.
Post time daily for the first race
will be 2:30 o'clock. The daily double
always has been popular at Bowie,
where the record is held for the
largest pool on that event. Doubles
will be sold as usual on the first
and third races, with the daily double
windows closing Is minutes before the
bugle blows for the first race.
There are representatives of l43
racing stables on the grounds for the
opening of the nine day meeting. The
track has stable room for 1000 horses
and it is expected that all stalls will
be occupied. The mild Winter has
enabled trainers who Wintered in

Cohen Only Promising Lefty.
IT WAS plain, at the time Phebus
was released on option 10 days
or so ago, that Lanahan's presence
with the Mats was preferred. This, Of
course, was due to the fact that
Richard is a southpaw while Phebus
Is right-handed. Washington, with
Earl Whitehill gone, has too few
southpaWs this year and it was hoped
that from among Lanahan, sgd
Cohen and Ken Chase enough left
handed pitching could be squeezed to
suffice.
OF the trio however, only Cohen
has made good. sgd far out-stripped
Lanahan and Chase, the latter having
been destined for Chattanooga long
since. 1t now is probable that both
Dick and Ken will 60 and that Phebus,
II he makes any kind of showing
with Chattanooga, will come back to
Washington.
II still have hopes for Lanahan,"
declared Harris, "but I'm not sure he
is ready now BY gosh. but I wanted
to see him repeat a good effort last
Sunday. II he could only do that
once in q while I could be sure of
him"

FLOP BY DICK MARS
CLUBS SLAB PLANS
Harris Hopes to Have Look
at 'Nooga Pitcher in Con-
test Tomorrow.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
STAFF correspondent of The Star.


~ RLANDO, Fla, March 81
With camp scheduled to be
broken in less than 10 days,
~ it develops that Washing
tons base ball firm isn't quite as ready
to stand pat on its pitching staff as
originally suspected.
This much was intimated today by
Manager Bucky Harris, who is hoping
that Ray Phebus will pitch for Chat
tanooga when the Nationals invade
Sanford tomorrow. If Phebus looks
good, the Mats will bring him back
to Orlando and leave Dick Lanahan
with the Lookouts in exchange.
1t is suspected by now that Lanahan
does not have major league pitchers
complex, although the boy only has
been given two real chances-against
Detroit and the Red Sox True, he
opened the game against the Giants
on March II and was nicked for three
runs in three innings, but the National
League champs at that time were far
ahead Of Lanahan and the rest Of
the Griffs.
What Harris and President Clark
Griffith have not been overlooking,
however, was Dicks dismal perform
ance last Sunday in Sarasota. In
between the Giants game and that
with Boston, he worked a nice four
inning shift against the Tigers but
he could not follow up with another
good exhibi ION. In three innings the
Red Sox ptunded him for five hits,
got three walks and a hit batsman
and scored eight runs to make off with
the game, 1912.

Chief Predicts Much
Travel in Carolina
President of Motor Club Looks
Forward to RecOrd-Breaking
Surge During This Year

Charlotte, May 1O.-With motor
vehicle registrations now at the
highest point in history, c. w. Rob-
erts, president of the Carolina Mo-
tor club, said yesterday he is look
ing forward to new record-break-
ing surge of motor touring in the
travel season.
Through May 6, total of 494, 1922
motor vehicles had been registered
in North Carolina, compared with
1882 for the same date last year.
South Carolina and other States
throughout the entire country also
have reported big increases in reg
istrations, Mr.. Roberts said.
constant improvement of the
network throughout the nation is
one of the most important stih1u-
lants of motor vacationing," he said.
GAS new travel detectives are open
ed up, the motorists of America
find menu of vacation sites that
for interest, accessibility, and good
accommodations cannot be matched
by any other country in the world.
with nearly 100000 miles of
improved highways with filling sta
tions, roadside eating establishments
and owe Knight accommodations
available along almost every mile of
highway, it is small wonder that
more and more people are taking to
the highway for their annual vaca-
tons.
'FLast year there was a tremen-
dous upsurge in touring: gasoline
consumption rose nearly 10 per
cent; travel to national parks and
national forests gained about 20 per
cent while requests for routings at
A. A. A. clubs throughout the coun-
try showed an increase of nearly Is
per cent"
