BOBO NEWSOM GETS
DOUBLE ASSIGNMENT

DEROIT, Aug. 2o.-P)-Louis
Bobo) Newsom, strong righthand
hurler of the Philadelphia Athle-
tics, today was given the go-ahead
from Manager Connie Mack tc
prepare for an 'iron man" mound
performance tomorrow in which
he intends to start both games OF
double-header against the De-
troit Tigers.
Asked to name his probable
pitchers for the Tuesday twin bill,
Mack replied, "Newsom told me
last night he'd like to pitch both
games, so We'll let him do it.
It isn't a new stunt for the
clustering Bobo, who won two
games in one afternoon five years
ago when he was a 20-game Win
ner for the Tigers. On that &C.
casion NeWsom beat the Chicago
White Sox in a first game relief
job and came back to pitch and
win the nightcap.

lately groomed and separated by
hedgerows. The English refer to
the Wimbledon layout as the ten
mis- capital of the world, and they
may not be far wrong.
We had gone to the stadium to
see the finals of the U. S. European
theater championships, the singles
matching a tall, Tildenish, trans
planted Britisher named Charley
Hare. who now makes his home in
Chicago, and a short, trim, mus
cular little fellow named Dick Nc.
Kee of Miami, Fla. Both are SER
geants and represent the commune
cations zone command.
The crowd OF 5000 watching the
event was predominately American
servicemen, so much so that there
was much tittering when promptly
at 4 o'clock play was halted and
tea was served the contestants. 1t
was old stuff to Sgt. Hare of course
but it must have seemed strange
to Sgt. Mckee although he crooked
his finger daintily and downed the
beverage like an old teatotaler."
It was mighty good tennis con.
sidering the comparatively little
practice the boys had had. Hare is
a southpaw with a tremendous
serve and he seems to thrive on
tough going. Mckee favors a back
hand at which he is adept. He will
make a strong bid for a berth on
the Davis Cup team when play is
resumed. Hare, who outlasted his
little doubles partner to win the
singles title, 2-6, 81, 60, 6-4, still
is British subject and former
member of the British Davis Cup
team, so his status in future Davis
Cup play is problematical.-
1t was rather an odd situation al
that come to think of it. A British
citizen winning an all American
tournament on a British court.

denies and the Quaker City stadi-
UNI.
Due to wartime limitations, the
game first was shifted from Phil
adelphia to Nays tiny Thompson
stadium at Annapolis by President
Roosevelt in 1912. At that f. :
White House officials said the Pres.
ident had considered outright can.
collation. of the game, but ha' de-
cided to allow it to be played on a
community limited basis because
it had been scheduled before war
was declared and because calling
it off would possibly disappoint men
in uniform, both in and out of the
United States.
Ticket sales were limited to resi-
dents of Annapolis and .e area
within five miles of the Academy.
Only 1920 spectators sew the 1912
Navy victory instead of 100000 or
more who might have attended.
This decision met with numerous
protests from sports writers, tn
letic leaders and fans who pointed
out that both the Academy teams
were permitted to make longer trips
and that Army played Notre Lame
in New York before some 10000
spectators.
In 1913, however. the White
House again decreed that the game
should be played before a local
audience of about $4,000 at West
Point. Last year the same plan
was to have been followed for
Nays home" game but after
the question again was brought .
the Presidents attention and was
referred to ODT and to the Secre-
taries of War and the Navy, it was
decided to play the game in the
Baltimore Municipal Stadium.
About 10000 spectators thus were
enabled to see the game and the
student bodies OF both academies
attended as way was found to
transport the Cadets to Baltimore
by water.
