PHILADELPHIA, May 14.—Track teams of the Urniversity of Deiaware and Drexel Institute battled to a tie in a dual meet, each collecting 63 points. Left | 1| ‘Warwick, South Ellipse, 5. | Excepting these misplays and & wild heave by Gichner that netted Central's first tally, the Georgetown school performed in remarkably fine style. Reds McGahey, who toiled on the mound for the Red and White athletes, produced a brand of pitching that baffled the Columbia Helghts nine throughout. He yielded but four bingles and fanned seven batters. Reds had a worthy mound oppo- nent in Henry [I’hipps, who also dished out some hurling of the first order. The Central boxman was nicked for eight safe clouts, but he victimized eleven via the strike-out route, These flingers gave the best- pitchéd game in the serfes thus far. Central’'s Alertness Told. Tommy David connected for a pair |of safeties. Had he displayed the same base ball ability afield, Western today probably would have been at the top of the serics heap. Central, however, took advantage of every break that came its way, although it really “earned but one run, and that came in the fourth. A torrid ground- er by Scruggs was muffed by Stevens and “the former scored on a timely double off the bat of Mike Gordon. Western earned but one run, too. Should the Centralites ' trounce Tech next Tuesduy they will garner the'title for the second consecutive year. The Blue and White tossers have pointed the way to all of their rivals with the exception of the Man- ual Trainers. Tuesday’'s match should be equally as close as the game ves- terday. Batson and Tew, a pair of clever southpaws, will make an ef- fort to check Central. Business and Eastern will be oppo- nents Friday in Central Stadium. The enographers are less experienced and probably will be well trounced. Business could do little with the Catholic University Freshmen yester- day. losing 3 to 15. Bleigh of the Brookland ' Cubs hurled almost in- vincible ball, University of Maryland Freshmen, who took the measure of Devitt Prep in an $-to-1 engagement yesterday, will be hosts to Central tomorrow at College Park. Hair performed on the mound for Devitt in a good manner, but errors by his teammates were costly. Snyder and Nock held Devitt to six safeties. Businems and Central have post- poned their titular tennis match un- til_next Wednesday. They were to ave met today on the Blue and White's courts. OLYMPIC REVOLVER TESTS AT QUANTICO NEW YORK, May 14—Final try- out for the selection of a team to represent the United States in the Olympic revolver shooting matches will be held at the Quantico, Va.. marirfe range, beginning May 22, it has been announced by Dr. R. H. Sayre, president of the United States | Revolver Association, who will go to France as captain of the team. Five men and two substitutes will be_selected at the final tests. The team will sail on the President Harding on May 28, Dr. Sayre an- nounced. ~ Olympic events are sched- uled June 30 to July 28. Candidates from all parts of the country are expected to take part in the final tryouts.- The adjutant general at Washington has lssued orders permitting army men in Porto Rico to enter the finals. Preliminary tryouts have been held in New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia, Porto Rico and the Canal Zone. Dr. Sayre was captain of the Amer- ican Olympic teams which won the revolver matches at London in 1912 and at Stockholm in 1920. LEADS AT BII.I.IA;.DS.

Griffith, who, with Johnston, formerly held the national doubles championship, and several other nationally known players plan to ‘leave late in June and early in July to participate in eastern tournaments. Johnston will enter the national clay court tournament in St Louis July 7, and then will proceed east to play in other contests. Others who will participate in the eastern invasion include Robert and Howard Kinsey, Phil Bettens, Irving Weinstein, Edward _Chandler__and Cranston 'Holman. Bettens, Wein- stein and Chandler are going as rep- resentatives of the University of Cali- fornia, and will enter the national intercollegiate singles and doubles championship contests at Haverford, Pa., June 25, Holman will enter the national junior championship tournament in Chicago in August. Even though Willlam T. Tilden, 24, national tennis champlon, is not a member of the Davis cup team, the American team should retain the trophy this year, Johnston declared here. “There is nb reason why we should lose the Davis cup,” he said. “Tilden’s resignation from the team has les- sened our chances somewhat, but the rest of us can work just that much harder, and I think we should win even without Tilden.” Johnston has not yet been officially selected ag a member of the team, but his standing makes his ultimate choice almost certain. MISS WILLS FACING GREAT TENNIS TASK BY WALTER CAMP. NEW YORK, May 24—Miss Helen Wills, America’s youthful tennis marvel, embarked on her foreign in- vasion today with the best wishes of all America behind her, but the more sober, reflective-minded tennis follow- ers do not look for her to romp away with Suzanne Lenglen’s crown. Even the men like Bill Johnson, Griffin and Fuller, who have been playing with Miss Wills and coaching her in an effort to bring her to the top of her form, are conservative in their attitude. One of those who played with her said he believed she could beat Mile. Lenglen—"if anybody can.” Another expressed himself as hopeful she would win, but asserted he “would not be disappointed if she lost.” That, of course, is the proper atti- tude. Miss Wills at her best, as she was at Forest Hills last year, plus certain improvements which we know she has made in her game, will offer the French star a hard proposition. But there will be no reason for dis- couragement if at the first essay Miss Wills does not triumph. She is youns, and the experience will be invaluable. Miss Wills herself is extremely modest, and that will go a long way toward keeping her steady. That means a lot. for any opponent, who lets disappointment overcome her at finding stiff opposition, becomes an easy mark for the deadly precision and uncanny “perception which has made Mile. Lenglen queen of the courta. P T FEE GOLF COURSES THRIVE IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, May 14—Golf courses that admit the public for a daily fee have become so numerous in Chicago that a central agency similar to a theatrical circut has been drganized to arrange playing facilities for golfers who crowd the links faster than they can be bullt. Instead of telephoning to the dozen pro-rata courses or chasing from one to the other seeking a chance to play, the golfer merely communicates with the central office’ downtown and reserves a ticket for the course most available at the hour the player desires to start. Every fee course has proved itself profitable. The courses have not amal- gamated, except for booking purposes.
