TILDEN’S PROGRAM HELPS NET SPOHT{ you n It is impossible to do otherwise than highly commend the task which William T. Tilden appeats to have set for himself. Crowned with the high- est laurels of the tennis courts, he is making a round of tournaments some of which he might be excused for ignoring. The educational value of this lawn tennis campaign cannot be overesti- mated. The appearance of Tilden and his truly remarkable playing must | e to pire enthusiasm and so elevate the standards of the game. With Tilden it is chiefly a labor of love. Maleolm D.

Answered by l BOB MacDONALD winner IWEBB OF ROCKY MOUNT PITCHES A NO-HIT GAME ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., August 7.— | Mark Webb, southpaw pitcher of the local club of the Virginia League, established a unique record for him- elf in the game with Norfolk here yesterday ‘Webb held the Norfolk team hitless and scoreless through nine innings, while his teammates touched Peterson for twelve hits, which netted four runs. Webb was wild at times and walked two men and hit three., Two others reached the first sack on er- rors. Incidental to his. no-hit-no-run feat, Webb stopped the consistent batting of Eddle Burke, keeper of Norfolk's center garden, who had hit safely in fortytwo consecutive games. e New York city and Philadelphia thelare two greatest boxing centers in the world, : ship, 1921, and the Texas open cham- pionship, 1922 Famous the world over for his long-distance driving. e On the up swing of a drive, the left heel may be lifted, but not more than one inch. If the heel is lifted more than this the body will sway to the right, thus destroying the balance, making it impossible to shift the weight back to the left leg in time to get the full power from the stroke. At the top of the swing the weight should be_ equally bal- anced on both feet, as in the case of a base ball player just before he swings on a pitched ball.
