v WILLIAMS AND WASHBURN | PLAY SHIMIZU AND HARDY . Former Pair Favored to Retain Honors in Match Today—All Members of U. S. Olympic Team Display Their Wares in Tournament. BY W. H. NORRIS WILLIAMS, 2d, of Philadelphia, and Watson Wash- burn of New York, who doubtless will represent America in the ® doubles in the Olympic tennis events, and Zenzo Schimizu, captain R HOTTEL. of Japan’s Davis cup team, and Sam Hardy of California originally, but a globe trotter mostly, will meet in the final of the Chevy Chase Club in- vitation tournament this afternoon. Play is slated for about 3 o'clock.

Vincent Richards of Yonkers, N. Y., and Francis T. Hunter of Beckley, W. Va., the two other members of the United States Olympic team, also displayed their wares on tho Chevy Chase courts yesterday, but their ef- forts came at a time when it was almost impossible to play first class tennis, Two Exhibition Sets.

After running the court to six-games all, they decided that the going was most too rough and ended hostilities by mutual con- sent, However, they showed a good- ly mumber of fans who were content o brave the elements some scintila- Ung shots, Matehes Go Limit. Although Washburn and Williams ‘Were carried three sets by Fukuda and Harada, the Yankee netmen showed to be a much smoother and more formidable combination. In fact, the American pair did not a pear to extend themselves in the se ond set and it was mainly their errors that allowed the Nipponese to deadlock the issue. They took command at the outset of the third set and never were in danger of los- ing the match. “Shimmy"” and Hardy had to work hard for every point that they got in defeating Davis and Hellen, the Chevy Chase Club team playing well together and showing a dogged con- sistency in court covering. Shimizu covered acres of ground during the match and it was his ability to “go get ‘em” that finally pulled him and Hardy through the ‘eye: of the needle.” “Shimmy” Is Japan's Best. Harada, the most recent addition to the 'ranks of the Japanese racqueters in this country, d'splayed a rather well rounded-out game. Ho appeared to good advantage yester- day on either hand in driving and volleying, but his service ranged from briiliant to mediocre and his handling of lobs was far from im- pressive.

He has connected safely thirty-four times, making five home runs in addition to nine doubles. In his last six games, including Wednesday, Heilmann bagged an even dozen hits. Ty Cobb, the Tyger leader, who gave Hellman such spirited competi- tion a week ago, fell inta a slump which carried him down in the list of Jeaders, the runner-up position go- ing to Ken Williams of the Browns, with an average of .428. Joe Harris of the Red Sox is third, with .437.

The mew organization, composed of fourteen men referred to by jesting friends as “the golf trust has ob- tained two large tracts for golf land with options on several more. The plan is to hold the available golf flelds until newly organized clubs enter the market and take over the ground that suits their needs. While ‘waiting, the organization will install links on some of the tracts and sell finished eourses to those who prefer. In the coterie are George O'Neil, who taught John D. Rockefeller how to play goif and tutored several ehampions, and Joseph Roseman, pro- fessional at Westmoreland Country Club; Jesse I Matteson, president of Edgewater Golf Club, and Harvey P. Woodruff, for many vears sporting editor of 'a Chicago newspaper. The others are capitalists. RN-CENTRAL TILT LIKELY TO BE SLAB DUEL McGahey, Star Pitcher of Georgetown Institution, Will Oppose Phipps—Both Teams Have Sturdy Attack~—Eastern Has Easy Match. BY ARGYLE FINNEY. R EDS McGAHEY, Western High's husky flinger, will be called upan to face Central Tuesday in an effort to check the Blue and White's second consecutive march to a high school base ball title. Play will start at 3:15 o'clock in Central Stadium and a win for either nine would send it well on the way to the championship, each team having a series vietory to its credit. Ceach Doc White of Central will assign the mound i and his performance against Eastern last Tuesday mrhcal‘:‘:‘{héoflzz:;gj town school will have a job on its hands. The form sharks anticipate a mound duel, but both nines are well fortified with talented batters and the chances are that McGahey and Phipps will be punished to some extent. This match will not definitely de- cide the 1824 championship nine, as Tech High demonstrated when it wal- loped Business in that atrocious 22- to-1 engagement lust Kriday. The Manual Trainers received a beating at the hands of Western, but later came back te tie Kastern. In its last two games Tech has shown,vast im- provement and is apt to give Central the battle of its life a week from Tuesday. Billy Tew and Irving Bat- 8on, two southpaw boxmen, have re- duced their wildness considerably and probably will prove bothersome to the Centralites. Eastern's Chamees Slim, Tt will take the gamest sort of a fight for Easterm to figure in the series. Tréunced by Central and tied by the Techites, the Bast Capitol in- stitution should win easily over Busi- ness Friday, but one week later it faces Western. one of the most for- midable nines in the series. Business has no chance to get anywhere, hav- ing dropped three games in the most unimpressive fashion. A keener brand of base ball in the four remaining titular games is pre- dioted. In the six games played thus far 1o’ one team has produced any real ability. The teams which op- posed Business High, including Cen- tral, Teeh and Western, were not really tested, as the Stenographers, handieapped 'by inexperienced ma. tegjal and lack of flingers, were turn- ed back with ease. Eastern High's nine presents a strange case. Player for player, the East Capito] outfit is as formidable &s Central, but the team completely “blew up"'in its game with the Blue and White. Scholastic fans still are wondering why Roudabush of Eastern was given the mound cholce over George Burdine in the match with Central. Unless the dope is all twist- €d, Burdine would bave been more impressive than Roudabush, judging! by the manner in which the former worked for five innings against Tech. Tuesday Game Crucial. Tuesday's game between Central and Western looms as the most im- portant match in the series thus far. There is one matter worrying Coaeh- es White and Ahearn. In the event that their first-string boxmen fail, each mentor will draw upon a com- aratively weak reserve corps. Both Phipps and = MoGahey are the best fiingers available and should ome of them falter Tuesday it probably will cost the championship. Central will Fave the edge in reserve mound ma- terial, having in the offing, Berhans, who did quite well against the Cath olic University freshmen last week." Tommy David and Charley Hageage of Western and Seruggs, Gorden and Robeson of Central may prove ter- rors to ‘the boxmen if they continue their batting ability. Mike Gordon is the most feared, as was the case last year when he punished the brand of high schoel hurling. All of the high schools have games pending this week. Teeh will eppose Episcopal High Tuesday at Alexan- dria, Petworth, Thursday, _at the ashington barracks and Mariboro High School Saturday on the same greunds. Business High's racketers, W'!O dropped all seven matches te Tech in the opening of the high school cham- pionship tennis series last week, will strive to “come back” against Cen- tral Wednesday on the Blue and ‘White's court. The Stenographers will have to step lively, too, for the Centralites undoubtedly have the most formidable netmen, with the possible exception of Tech, in the series. With yesterday's “C” Clab track and A meet bringing out an array of local talent, the five high scheol coaches are looking forward to the to be held in Central Stadium 24. Tech and Central have the best chance of gar- nering the laurels this year. This year's meet will be truly representa- tive, as all five of the high sehools are to present a galaxy of athletes.
