SP ORTS. THE EVENING :STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, -1924.. ; SPORTS. 17 Invaders to Fore in Longwood Tennis : Many International Tilts Are Due Soon FOREIGN PLAYERS FIGURE IN PAIR OF TITLE EVENTS Patterson and Wood in Men’s Doubles Final and Two French Racketers on Teams That Are in Semi-Finals of Mixed Competition. ROOKLINE, Mass. B where, for four days, none but championship, have played. August 22—Women tennis players shared with men today the grandstand courts at the Longwood Cricket Club, men, contesting the national doubles With the finalists in the tournament decided yesterday by the five- <et victories of Gerald Patterson and Robert G. and Howard O. Kinsey of Pat O'Hara Wood of Australia and San Francisco, it was decided to put the title match over until tomorrow afternoon. This left the stage clear for the semi-finals of the national mixed doubles championship and for the final round of the womens invitation singles tournament. The playing-through champions. Mrs. Molla B. Mallory and W. T. Tilden, 11, had the team of Mrs. G. W. Wightman and Jean Borotra. the }atter captain of the French Davis cup team. in one semi-final. Miss Helen Wills, national woman's singles titlist, and Vincent Richards. joint holder of the Olympic doubles crown, were matched against Miss Eleanor Goss and Rene La Coste. another ¥rench star, in the other. The final of the women's singles brought together Miss Goss. No. 3 in national women's ranking, and Helen Jacob the girl of 15 years, who comes from Berkeley, Calif., like Miss Wills, to seek national honors among the girls. Patterson and Wood vesterday de- feated Bill Johnston and Peck Griffin, former national champions, 7—9, 4—6, 7—5. 8—6., 6—4. while the nesey defeated Richards and Francis Hunter, Olympic titleholders, 6—4, 1—6, 4—6, 6—4, 6—3. Losers Are Near Victors. Johnston and Griffin played magnifi- cent tennis and took the first two sets and came close to providing a big up- set in straight fashion. - In the third set they led 40—15 on O'Hara Wood's service in the eleventh @ame, virtually within a point of the match, for Johnston won the twelfth, which would have given them the set had they not wasbed their opportanity in the eleventh. This was their last chance for victory. though they made a last rally in the fifth set and pulled up from 2—5 to 4—5. Patterson's ter- rific stroking. however, decided mat- tersin his favor and the Australians triumphed. Richards was the outstanding fig- re in the other match, thrilling the 500 spectators with his dazzling vol- leying, and had Hunter lent him sup- port the Olympic champions would have won. Hunter failed, however, on his overhead shots, and it was by lobing to him constantly that the Kinseys | got the points that finally gave them the victory in a close and desperately fought final set. ~ Richards received an ovation when he went off the court, for he had made a big fight for the match and treated the gallery to the greatest exhibition of volley- ing seen herc all week. Robert Kinsey rose to great heights on his side of the net, and it was his playing that kept the Kinseys in the running until his brother found him- self, as well as his splendid volle ing at the net that extended Rich- ards to such great heights. Patterson Finally Wakes Up. Without taking away any of the credit due Johnston and Griffin for the exceptionally fine tennis. they played. It must be said that the Aus- tralians did not give the impression of trying their hardest to win the match. Two years ago Patterson and O'Hara Wood were defeated here by Tilden and Richards and then overwhelmed the American pair in the Davis cup challenge round. It looked yesterday as though the Australian captain was not any too keen about showing how good he and Wood fit in the second set. He was careless in his stroking, doubl faulted with more frequency than is his custom and experimented with a service that already is one of the greatest point winners in the game. In the first set every point was bit- terly fought for, but after Johnston | and Griffin had broken through and two faults were called on Patterson in the third game of the second set, the Australian scemed to lose some of his interest in the play and did not find it again until his team had taken the third set. For the rest of the match he was out to win and his play improved noticeably, particu- larly his control. Wood Plays Brilliantly. O'Hara Wood played beautifully throughout the match. The little Aus- tralian stroked smoothly and almost flawlessly, performing equally well at the net and from back court and getting the sharpest angles on all his shots. Overhead he was steady, but no nearly so decisive as his partner. Johnston’s lightning returns’ of service and furious volleying and Griffin's alertness for the openings were constant source of delight to * the gallery. At times the American pair outdid themselves, playing the best tennis they have shown this sea- son. Only speed could avail against the terrific kills of Patterson and throughout the match Johnston hit the ball with great power to win on placements. - In the closing stages Patterson be- came more and more deadly, putting everything away with seldom an er- ror. The Californians tried in vain 1o lob over his head, and when the Australians had the service the Cali- fornians had to lob to keep them away from the net, with the result that they were blasted off the court.

How can a man get a good, sound, smashing drive? : Answered by BOB CRUICKSHANK, who, in defeated Hutchinwon, Sarazen and Barnes in an invitation tourna- ment at St. Joxeph, Mo. -Runner up in Pittsburgh tournament for profex- nal golfers, 1922, being defeated y by Sarazen. o Making a good drive is the great- est pleasure a man has. Very few, however, can hit a ball well with the greater part of their strength, and yet control the swing. Profes- sionals and first-class amateurs can do it because they have a greater sense of accurate and proper timing. The only way to get a smashing drive consistently is to time the shot perfectly. Today there are thou- sands of golfers who could increase their length if they could time their swings better. Strength and “pep” are all right, but of no use when used at the wrong time. Balance. of course, is another thing which counts greatly, and to have préper timing one must have perfect balance at the top of the backswing. Most professionals can swing the club back almost any old way and do the same coming down, and yet hit a fine ball. This is due, of course, to their wonder- ful timing and balance powers, and that is the only way a real smash- ing drive can be developed. , MINOR LEAGUE RESULTS INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

Not much. There was not enough money in defending the crown against any of the poor crop of defenders in sight to make it worth the Scotch Wop's while to go to the trouble and expense of training. With Duundee “retired,” some new feather of class may arise out of the contest for the throne that Johnny has abandoned, whereupon Dundee, If the new champion looks 00d enough, can emerge from his retirement” and challenge for the title, drawing thousands of pop-eyed fans to the ringside at monstrous prices.

Today's workout will be light, but Wills expects to swing into his regular routine tomorrow and to continue it until a few days before the Firpo bout.

His camp, six miles from a telephone, is comparatively free of visitors.

RIFLE MARK BROKEN BY FOUR DEVIL DOGS The United States record for shoot- ing with the Army rifle on the mili- tary qualification course has been four times broken by different ma- rines as a result of phenomenal shooting in competition at the Massa- chusetts State rifle range, Wakefield, Mass. From information at hand the best previous record was established in 1023 by an Infantry officer, who made a score of 343 points for the seven events constituting the qualification course. This has been broken by Corp. Ed- ward Feury, with the amazing score of 345. Next to him in the competi- tions were Capt. William W. Ashurst, captain of the marine rifle team; Capt. Jacob Lienhard and Corp. Her- man M. Heller, who tied with the score of 344. In establishing his record, Corp. Feury made. perfect scores in four of the seven events, all of his shots landing in the bull's-eye, while in three events he scored 48 and 49, which means that he missed the cen- ter of the target by a fraction of an inch in orly five shots out of 70 fired. As a result of this shooting, a letter of commendation has been addressed to Corp. Feury by Maj. Gen. John A. Jejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps.

TURNER WINS LIVELY _BOUT WITH MARRIOTT Jack Turner of California, by a consistent attack on the midsection of his rival, administered a severe beat- ing to Bobby Marriott, Army middle- weight champlon, in 10 slashing rounds in the feature bout at the Fort Myer arena last night. Marriott appeared strong and will- Ing to mix in the early stages, but when Turner unleashed 2 series of punches on his opponent’s stomach, the Army scrapper wilted and was floored three times in the eighth and ninth rounds. The Californian successfully weath- ered several of Marriott’s blows by rolling his head with the punch. In cleverness and infighting, Turner clearly demonstrated his class. His sportsmanship pleased the more than 3,500 fans, too. Many of the fans thought that Al Ward of Fort Myer, earned a draw in his 6-round bout with Charley Roth of Baltimore. The Fort Myer mauler was aggressor in practically, every round, while his opponent covered up and clinched continually. Roth got in a few terrific drives, but on the whole he appeared content to hug Ward. .
