During the fifty years that lawn tennis has been in vogue many changes have been made in the stringing of racquets, due either to fashion or caprice. In one type the strings ran criss-cross; in another the interspaces were diamond- shaped. Racquets with the center strings much wider apart than the outer ones; heads so closely strung that one could scarcely see through them; the ‘‘Doherty” racquet, with double and slightly curved central strings; strings in loops and spirals —all have had thelr measure of popularity. sonal reply enclose a stamped, (Copyright, 1924, Pitcher is in the box.

Uni- versity of Indiana, where they were building a tiéw stadium, hoping to have it completed in time for the football season. It seems. that flaws of some sort were discovered In the partly completed structure which necessitated blasting and. wrecking to make way for a substitute, It is certain that ‘it will not be ready in time for the preliminary games, and perhaps not for any. Be: cause of this trouble, Indiana will meet ‘only three times—none of them big ten members—at home this year.

On the other hand, should the Giants rally through the west, they can stave off any savagery on the part of the Pirates unless the jatter should forget_how to lose ball games. When August began, the Pirates and the Giants were 93 points apart. Since that time, there is no doubt that the Pirates have been playing their best baseball of the year. This rally has been much belated, but once it came, it produced a far su- perior kind of bakeball to what they played earlier in the season, when thelr stars were dimmed and their good batters were ina slump. When the Pirates finished their second eastern trip they‘were 64 points be- hind the Giants, having gained 29 points. That is good work.
