Eastern High School racketers face a definite cancellation of their Fall tennis tournament unless at least 11 more teams register for the event within the next week. Imogene Stockett, director of the athletic department, states that the tournament cannot be run off as a major sport unless at least enough players are entered to make a three- round event. This means 32 girls or 16 teams. Ten girls have signed up so far. If the required number should in- dicate their intentions of participat- ing within the next few days, Miss Stockett declares that she will make the draw without delay and see that the tournament is run off, but without at least 32 entries she would not feel justified in presenting athletic “E"s to the winners and the event will lose its place among the school's major sports. Here's your chance to show your spirit, girls! Don't let it be saM that the girls are not sufficlently interested in their sports to make them worth while. Central High School has just inaugurated its Fall tournament with approximately 70 entries. Surely out of the hundreds of vou entered at stern there are 32 tennis players.

BY WILLIAM B. McKECHNIE. Manager of Pittsburgh Pirates, National League Champions. ITTSBURGH, October 6.—In discussing with me the coming world series between the Pirates and the Nationals, fans have been ask- ing me what effect the youth of the Pirates will have in their play against the experienced Nationals. This is one thing about the coming battle that is not worrying me at all. T never saw a gamer gang of young fellows in the big show than these 1925 Pirates, and at no time during the season have they shown any nervousness in the various big tests whic! every pennant-winning club must go through. My club was tried out in this respect around July, when it had to face the Cincinnati Reds in nine games. Here was the deciding point in the race in a way. The team that came through this siege was to be the team to fight it out with the Giants for the pennant. The records will show that in those nine games the Pirates won no less than seven. If it had been an ordinary team or a team liable to show nervousness in a hard battle here is where it might have cracked. That it did no cracking of any kind is shown by what we accomplished. That was a test hard enough for these youngsters, but still a greater one was to come in August, when on our last Eastern trip we had to face the Giants on the Polo Grounds for five games. Here was the Waterloo of Pirate 'FIRPO HAS DECIDED T0 RETURN TO RING BL OS AIRES, Argentina, Octo teams of other years. This time instead of being a Water- loo for the Pirates it was a rout for the Glants. The Pirates took four out of five. Curiously enough, it was in this serfes that our youngsters helped greatly. 1 remember that Wright, a youngster, knocked a home run to win a 2-to-1 ball gams, and it | was another youngster, Traynor, who preceded him at the plate and singled. All through that series the young fel- lows held up. Cuyler had a field day in the first of those five battles. Moore played right fleld like a vet-| eran and Grantham caused no com- plaints at first. Here was where the | question of whether this young ball | club can stand the strain was an swered. i What they did against the Giants 1| expect them to do against the Na-| tlonals.

He hopes to meet the winner of the Spalla-Paoclina bout for the champion &hip of Europe and eventually to get a return match with Dempsey. His year's rest has done him’a lot of good, Firpo added. His decision to re-enter the ring was caused prin- cipally by advices that the suit brought against him in the United | States by a former manager had been eatisfactorily settled.
