In serving, how high should the ball-be thrown? Answered by R. LINDLEY MURRAY Brillinnt_ left-handed player. Na- tional champlon, 1918. Winner of national patriotic singles tournament, 1917, Famed for his speed, especlally in serving. N e e How high the ball should be thrown when serving depends upon the type of serve a player uses. But in general it may be said that the ball should be throwh: just high enough so that it will not be neces- sary for the player to Hesitate sbe- fore making his serve or on the other hand to hurry unduly before making his stroke. On the average, the ball should be thrown about three to four feet above the player’s head and it should be hit at, the maximum possible height above the ground. (“What are the commonest faults in the average player’s footwork?"” Manuel Alonso’s exceedingly inter- esting answer to this highly im- portant question on tennis will be printed here tomorrow.) . 3 (Oopyright, 18233 Manager | N C. CUP PLAY IS CONDUCIVE TO AMIABLE RELATIONS Sportsmanship Proving Big Factor in Understanding Among Nations—Play in Challenge Round for Trophy Starts Tomorrow. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, August 30.—For the cighteenth time the Davis cup, emblematic of international supremacy in lawn tennis, will be the object of competition beginning tomorrow and continuing through Labor day, upon the courts of the West Hills, N. V. de Tennis Club at Forest It is not difficult to catch the great significance of these tennis matches aside from their sporting aspects. They bring representatives of of many nations together in a common sport, and thereby unite the people the countries involved in a common interest. This is a big thing. In truth, no one can estimate the influence for international understanding and good will that these Davis cup affairs exert. tion Some statesman has said that the great barrier against amiable rela- S among nations and races is the lack of understanding, diverse in- terest, habits and pursuits. In this respect lawn tennis acts as a leveler. It gets at the fundamental human stuff which is substantially the same the world over. It's wide growth therefore, makes for something that is greater than tho sport itself. The writer ventures the statement that If the nations could be brought to find common cause in other divisions of sport and theorles that underlic leagues of nations, peace congresses and the like would be well on the Way toward transformation into realities. Seventeen Natlons Involved. Consider that in the Davis cup scheme of the present year seven- teen nations were involved with another, Portugal, barred, because of dilatory entry. When one looks back over the vears and finds that In 1900, 1902 and 1903 only the United ates and the British Isles were in- Yolved in these matches an idea will be had as to the extraordinary growth that sub quent years ha seen. Varifous natio joined from time to time until this ¥ear we saw the United States, England, Australia, France, Spain, Irelan Switzerland, Holland, Roumania, Czecho-Slovakia, Denmark, the Argentine, Ital gium, Hawai!, Japan and Canada en- tering their stars in the various zones of play. Throughout the United ates representatives Wwon the cup six times: Australia six British Isles, five times. X trali team, which sin last year has played with- out help from New Z right to play _the against the United after a lapse of seven years, won the cup in 1920, and hes since defended it successfully.

Hunter, Wimble- don runner-up, in the southern New York state champlonship at the | Westchester-Biltmore Country Club, today meets Howard Kinsey In the lower bracket of the semi-final round. The young Frenchman, who is only nineteen defeated Hunter in straights, 6—4, 6—1. The other Kinsey, Robert, meets Harvey Snodgrass in an_@ll-Call- | fornia battle in the upper bracket. Although his victory over the Wim- | bledon finalist was a sufficlent sur- prise in itself, the French youngster | made it doubly remarkable by the manner in which he disposed of the American player. Exhibiting all the steadiness of a Kumagae and_the fiawless backhand of a Dick Wil liams, Lacoste kept up to the rapid {pace forced by Hunter and outplayed him in every particular. It was his steadiness, however, that stood out in his victory over the New Rochelle | star.

There are refinements and imptpvc- ments, of course, but the underlying which have made enthusiasts of 130,000 purchasers of this model in three years’ time, are not radically changed. In our opinion, the 1924 Light-Six standsoutas the greatest value and clos- est approach to mechanical perfection in moderate priced cars yet produced. It is practically free from vibration. Studebaker accomplishes this largely by machining the crankshaft and con- 61 precision operations. It is an exclu- sive Studebaker practice on cars at this price—and is found only on a few other cars—and they’re priced above $2500. Abeence of vibration prolongs car life, causes slower depreciation, reduces the cost of operation and adds to the enjoyment of driving. The Light-Six motor embodies the most advanced design known to auto- mobile construction. It represents an achievement in the manufacture of quality cars in big volume. Aside from its mechanical excellence, the Light-Six is handsome in design, extremely comfortable, sturdy and eco- nomical to operate just as it isin initial cost. Itispowerful, speedy, has a pick- up range that is seldom taxed and never exhausted, is easy to handle, and con- venient to park. Itsenameledall-steel body, one-piece, rain-proof windshield, ten-inch cushions upholstered in genuine leather, and cowl lamps are among many features hereto- fore to be had only in higher-priced cars.
