THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 26, 1925—SPORTS SECTION, 3 Alderton-Olmsted Win Tennis Title : D. C. Paddlers Near Clean-up in Regatta CAPTURE GIRLS’ DISTRICT i JUNIOR DOUBLES HONORS Fair Racketers Representing Business and Central High Schools Defeat Misses Bealer and Shoemaker in Tight LARA ALDERTON of Busines C Match, 9—7, 6—3. s High School and Virginia Olmstcad, a Central racketer, won the first District junior dou'ies tennis *championship for girls yesterday on the Henry Park courts when they triumphed over the George Washington lassies; Dolly Bealer and Mary Shoemaker, in a tight match, 9—7, 6—3. Florence Seward of Western High School previously had won the singles title. Although the newly crowned doubles champions were not forced to three sets, they were hard pressed f to the final rally. Miss Alderton’ sponsible for the final victory. She made many placement shots and or every decision from the first point s skillful net work was largely re- several “kills” that netted sure points at crucial moments. In the first set, with the score stand- ing 5—3 for the Alderton-Olmsted team, the Hatchetites came to the front with three straight games, giv- ing them the advantage on the deuced set. The ultimate winners tightened up, however, and again brought the score to deuce, only to have the lead snatched from them at 7—6. With dogged determination they fought their way from behind for the second time and with a sudden spurt cap- tured the 15th and 16th games for the set at §—7. Things broke even in the second set up until the seventh game, when the Business-Central combination uncork- ed some brilliant plays and captured three stralght games and the match. Miss Olmsted's steady service and deep court lobs assisted materially, in gaining the hard-earned victory. The George Washington pair exhibited some very effective teamwork and seemed always on the point of snatch- ing the slim jead from their opponents. The winners were presented with silver loving cups offered by Pearson & Crain. Marjorie Wooden was ref- eree. NEW YORK PRINTERS HAVE STRONG TEAM NEW YORK, July 25.—This cit: delegation to the annual tournament of the Union Printers' International Base Ball League will make a vacation of the affair with an added trip to Norfolk. More than 250 printers, including players, their wives and friends will g0 to Washington on August and ‘will stop at the Willard Hotel, where 11 other delegations also will put up. The New York printers team, al- though working under extraordinary difficulties this year, will be as strong if not stronger than the one which fought so hard in the 1924 tourney. Several new players have Jjoined the club this season and are making the so-called regulars put up a great fight to retain their places. Those who will form the Gotham contingent will stay in Washington until tH close of the tournament, then will proceed to Norfolk by boat for a three-day visit. Following this they will return to New York by sea.

That’s the Impression Obtained by “Our Lady Reporter” in Witness- ing Matches at Potomac Park Yesterday. BY CORINNE FRAZIER. OLO is like croquet on horseback with only two wickets and a lot of interference. P 3d Cavalry. was playing. His greatest accomplishment is making socks, it seems. He has made some extraordinarily good ones, the officers told me when 1 was chatting with them after the game. Doesn’t it seem queer for a man to spend his time making socks? No doubt they have a lot of time on their hands in the Army—but making socks! Any- way, that's what Mr. Chumley does, for several men told me so and they all seemed to be old friends of his. There were two games yesterday. This Mr. Chumley played in the sec- ond one—when the men in the lovely yellow blouses with green stripes played the ones dressed all in white. They really were the best looking teams, although I am told that the other two contain the ranking players, or something like that. Those men in white looked like knights in armor. They were stunning. Game Starts With Scramble. There are a lot of odd things about this polo business. To begin with, the “throw-in"—that's the start-off—is ab- solutely innocent of order or dignity. A man without a mallet throws the ball into the center of the field and then there’s a grand scramble. Every- body goes for the ball at the same time. It reminds me of a bunch of fielders scrambling for a Texas leaguer. Usually all of them miss it, in both cases! Then, they never give a man a fair chance to make a shot. Every time he rides up to the ball some one in- terferes and tries to knock him away. I actually heard one man say, “Knock him off, Pat"”; “Put him over the side- board.” Of course, that last was fig- urative, as there wasn't any side. board there. There was no furniture of any description around. A polo field is just a large expanse of lawn with nothing on it except two striped posts at each end which are the goals or wickets. Yes, They Changed Goals. In the first game the 16th Field Ar- tillery played the “War Blues” (not a melody, but a quartet on horseback). The Field Artillery won, 11 to 0, in spite of the fact that their mulr.phyar, a man they called "'Big Joe, knockod' as many balls through his opponents’ wickets as he did_through Ml“flwn. He knocked a number of “goals” and at least three of them went 'hxl“!o‘; the wro wickets or posts. the men were congratulating him aft- erward and none of them was unm- diplomatic enough to mention his mis- take, but I noticed it distinctly. I knew which was his end of the fleld, because the man who kept score told me when the first “‘chukker” began (that’s. what they call the innings !n polo—they have eight of them). Four of the men in the first game wore pale-blue blouses with yellow stripes, and four of them wore black and yellow costumes. Their breeches were white, and they wore helmets on their heads. All poloists seem to wear helmets. “Benny” Was Handicapped. 1 overheard a man afterward that “Benny,” the star pl r on the Artillery team, didn’t shoot his usual ‘because he missed his fish this y. Now, what could fish have to do with a man’s aim? Yet he sounded very serious when he said it. In the second game the “War Whites”” won, 6 to 3, over the 3d Cavalry team, although of their players called “Kid” so ing neaf- 1y upset things by running all over the fleld, knocking the ball in the Somebody hollered The whole proceedings in Potomac Park yesterday had a sort of English atmosphere, a good deal of which was created by one of the players who seenfed to be somewhat British himself. The other players called him “Mister Chumley” although I think that was a mistake as the mar who held his horse for him told me he was Capt. Finley of the I noticed him particularly because he held his club in the wrong hand and had a way of calling out “Are you there?” while he paired to take top honors in they feel like, lady. They call a spade a spade in this game. If a fellow's a bonehead, that's what they call him— an’ if he’s a damfool, why, they're not bashful about mentionin’ it.” Which wasn't at all what I meant, but I saw that he didn’'t understand. So I let it go at that. I, chatted with two of the players after the games were over and they showed me their mallets and the balls they use. I don't see how they man- aged to finish the game with those mallets. They were all warped. It rained quite hard while they were playing, but I was really surprised at the condition of the mallets, even at_that. I noticed that each of these gentle- men had lost one of the short leather gloves they wear when they play. But they didn’t seem at all disturbed about it and made no attempt to .find them. Perhaps they had only one pair between them and so divided up. One had his on the right hand and one on the left. It looked suspicious. TWO BIG ATHLETIC EVENTS MAY CLASH One of the early philosophers very | sagely remarked that there is no joy without annoy. The merits of the observation will not be debated by those who have had any appreciable experience of life. ast of all will it be debated in Pittsburgh at the present time. For are not the Pirates for the first time in aeons out in front in the National League race, with at least fair chances of staying there? One would think that no city could ask of the gods a favor more signal. Yet from Pittsburgh comes a dark, walling moan. If Pittsburgh wins the pennant there will be world series games, of course. And some of those games will be held in Pittsburgh at a time when the foot ball season is on. It will, to be specific, run into head- on collision with the Pitt-West Vir- ginia game. With a stadium of her own, Pittsburgh no longer needs to use Forbes Field, the home of the Pirates. But this s not what is troubling the Panther athletic authorities. They know, as, in fact, every one knows, that as between a foot -ball game, between the Panthers 'and Mountaineers, and the first world series fight that the city has staged since 1909, the sport-loving crowd will not even stop to flgure what their choice shall be. Consequently, the University of Pittsburgh foot ball sta- dium, in event of such conflict, would be certain to be a mighty uninspiring arena on that particular afternoon. The financial significance of such a situation will be appreciated by any ne who has ever been concerned with e athletfc budget of a great uni- versity. ‘What probably will be done if worst comes to worst—that is to say, if the ‘world series comes to Pittsburgh—is to have the game of foot ball between ‘West Virginia and Pitt played in the morning, leaving the afternoon free for the big league climacteric.. Then, as one bright Pittsburgher re- marks, after a Saturday of thrills the city can spend Sunday in bed. TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPERS FERRY, W.
