While Western and Roosevelt still
retain slim chances Of capturing the
crown outright, the pressure squarely
is on their shoulders, since Eastern
needs only to wallop Central or West
ern in its remaining games to clinch
a tie. Western and Roosevelt clash

Is making up what it describes under

Vines are jockeying for the biggest

Vines on top and likely to remain

There is nothing Mr.. Vines likes

erieves you to think that these an
cient buddies and stablemates can
take. pot-shots at each other for the
, sake Of sordid gold, but they can and
will. and. what Is more, stablemates
are not the friendliest fellows in the
world. They get on one another's s
T nerves in the course Of a prctracted
campaign.
Sometimes the lid comes close to
blowing on-as when Mr.. George Lott,
after touring with the troupe for some
time. offered to take q punch at Mr..
Perry, and was restrained, wisely or
otherwise, by certain colleagues. do
not think that Aud Lang Syne will

Vines Wants Bulge Assignment.

There will be room enough, nat
tirally, for F. John Perry in the troupe
but the headliners split the biggest
percentages, and under the present
system of cash tennis tours, there can
be only two headliners.
All in all, it's foolish system.
Great tennis players should not have
to forage around the country like a
team Of wrestlers, the Indian winning

Watervleit. For one season, while the
name of a newly-turned pro is fresh

Incentive to Win Lackinx.

WELL, in fairness to H. Ellsworth
and r. John it should be said
that it's hard for two tennis players,
touring every cove and hamlet in this
great Republic, to generate battle of
the century five times a week. Once
their guarantees were on the line and
the gate counted, the boys lacked in
centive. They saw no reason to die
for dear old Tennis Tours, Inc.
The result was a great coincidence.
Frederick and Ellsworth were nearly
always tied in number of matches
won. If they weren't tied the detail
was attended to at the next oppor-
tunity. It's obvious that no two ten
mis- players in the world are 50 evenly
matched that one of them won't forge
ahead in an extended series of meet
ings-but with Perry and Vines it was
one long camera finish. In time it was
also one long yawn.
Perry is quite player" the sleepy
comet from Pasadena would say when

surprising that he hasn't won a ma

enough to stay along With any but the

Houghton has not been as good q
golfer for the last two years as he
was in 1888 and 1884. which probably
is the reason that the Washington
botn pro and former amateur star
has been working harder than ever
to bring back the sting Of a game
that for a while promised to put him

land.
Lately AL has been practicing

he hit II of the 18 greens in regu-
