But tenmis and golf ate not two of those games! . “Gallery etiquette” around the court or on the links demands silence in fo far as it is possidle to be maintained, during actual play. And audible comments on deelslons or expressions of disap- proval for an act or shot of one of the players is at all times out of order Nor are these rules just “dude” ideas.

Gene landed amidst the strains rend- ered by a _band of pipers. and entered one of a flact of decorated motor cars displaving the Stars and Stripes and the Irish tricolor. Despite his expressed Hops to be allowed to enter the city quietly, the peopie insisted upon their hero worship and Tunney's drive to Dublin was a triumphal procession with ths greatest of excitement manifest everywhere. The car had to push its way through dense packs of cheering people to the Gresham Hotel, where the former Hardly had Gene entered the hotel when he received an invitation from | President Cosgrave to visit him at the | government building.

HODAPP AND LIND INDIAN BULWARKS It Hodapp and Lind had not started well for Cleveland the Indians weuld bs much worse off in the standing of the teams than they are todav. Hodapp 18 one of the best producte of early education in the minor leagues who is plaving in the majors today. and if the other Cleveland players could balance with him the team would be in the first division and getting some- where. Cleveland should be known as the team of the pitchers who can't come through against first-division clubs. The Indians have won something lik | 25 games from the {rst-division all this season. If they hadn't defeated Boston a round dozen times they would now be keeping company with Boston in the cellar. That's some indication of how they have fallen away from a fine start. The quicksand got them. It doesn't prove that Cleveland ca have a good team another year. Th infield promises well. Hodapp wAs picked to become a great plaver three years ago. but he proved brittle and is easily injured. Cleveland should have not Shires, the Waco first baseman. He was needed. But if young Morgan can make a first baseman he may out- plav Shires. The Cleveland outfield needs fo bs half-soled. With those re- pairs the team may be in the thick of the fight next year.
