ALL PLAYERS HERE MAKE DRAW TODAY Champion Vines Has Double Round of Golf as Rivals Stick to Tennis. HE United States’ sturdy Davis Cup quartet, already casting covetous eyes at the long-absent trophy, today sought a final tune-up to their strokes preparatory to meeting the challenge of Argentina tomor- row in the final round of Ameri- can zone play. Davis Cup officials were hopeful President Roosevelt himself would make the draw this afternoon. Word from the White House was that Mr. Roosevelt would do the selecting if he could find the time. ‘The American team of Wilmer Alli- son, captain; Ellsworth Vines, United States and Wimbledon titleholder; George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn, ar- rived here yesterday, but only Allison and Van Ryn took immediately to the courts. They found the Argentines busily en- gaged in their eleventh day of practice at Chevy Chase Club, where the final tie will be played tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Only diminutive Adriano Zappa, Ar- gentine captain, presented a familiar figure, since blond Adelmar Echeverria | and_Hector Cattaruzza are newcomers to North American Davis cup play. Vines faced his first practice session since the United States team literally swept Canada from the courts. Indi- icating his belief that he had had enough tennis to be in prime shape, yesterday he played golf, 36 holes of it. Tott put both a morning and after- noon warm-up on his schedule. Allison, who will carry the singles play burden with Vines, had an ex- tended practice match yesterday with Van Ryn, who teams with Lott in the doubles. ~ Both showed themselves in top condition. .

CHICAGO, May 24 (#).—An injunc- tion suit to prevent the West Park ‘board of Chicago from leasing two pub- lic golf courses to private concession- aires has been started in Circuit Court here by an attorney. ‘The petition challenged the authority of the board to lease public land and charged that eight civil service em- ployes would be deprived of their pres- ent employment if the leases were allowed. Germans to Train Police to Greet Suzanne Demands “Fortune” for Net Match With Helen By the Associated Press. , May 24.—Suzanne Leng- len, former world’s tennis cham- pion, told the Continental Daily Mall today she was willing to play Mrs. Hel'e‘n Wills Moody, “but on own terms.” mxl ‘must make a fortune out of it,” the newspaper quoted her as saying. Since Mile. Lenglen is a profes- sional, the match needs the sanction of the French Tennis Federation and the United States Lawn Tennis Association, the paper points out, adding that there is considerable feeling against granting such ap- proval.

Texas circult players are never penal- jzed for such altercations so long as they fight amofig themselves. of course, socking an umpire or a fan is different. President J.

NNAPOLIS, May 24—Midship- man Wiliam R. Kane of San Rafael, Calif, is the winner of the supreme athletic honor at the Naval Academy this year, the Navy Athletic Association sword, awarded annually to the midshipman considered to have personally excelled in athletics. A member of the graduating class, Kane is foot ball tackle, heavyweight wrestler and weight thrower, and the only midshipman now in the academy holding varsity letters in three sports. He also has played some base ball. Kane has two major letters in each of the sports of foot ball, wrestling and track. He was the stalwart right tackle of the eleven last scason and entered the Army game weighing 192 pounds. He threw every opponent in the un- limited weight class last Winter and is the leading javelin tosser now in the academy. THE next athletic honor, that of hav- ing his name engraved on the Thompson Trophy Cup as having done most to promote athletics, was won by Midshipman Charles E. Lough-~ lin of Lansdowne, Pa., star basket ball player and captain of the tennis team. Loughlin, who was appointed to the Naval Academy under the law which provided for the entrance of sons of officers or enlisted men who lost their lives in the World War, is a brilliant basket ball player in both the position f forward and guard. s Hgmhu won fiulty letters in both sports. ug! points in the former sport, 241 being made last season, and in over 50 matches of tennis he has been defeated but twice. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIK The Wrestling Mystery. HE wrestling game has been pretty well cluttered up with mysteries of one sort or another, but now there is a new one that has even the scientists baffled. How_could Joe’ Sav&;ll;l zr s‘clgnx al‘;fi else, diving or jumpi af Lewis in a 24-foot ring, or a 34-foot ring, miss the target? Savoldi can claim no great credit for failing to handle a man who was wres- tling when Jumping Joe was just learn- ing how to walk. On the other side of the wall, Lewis can't afford to do much by winning a match because his opponent happened to dive out of the ring, using his own impetus for this exclusive pur- pose and result. The fellow who threw Savoldi was Notre Dame's old fullback by the name of Savoldi. Throw It Out? Well— 44X 70U might as well throw out what's happened in base ball s0 far,” writes a Yankee fan. “When Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig 250—when neither has coll a home run on a Western trip—when the Reds are well out in front of the Cubs, and the White Sox are leading the Athletics —something must be all out of gear.” Our correspondent overlooks the fact that a lot of things have been happen- ing lately that ne;'e:l'l happened before— | Dempsey outside of base keep on hap way or another.

'HE fact that both Sharkey and Carnera a'so have started warming up has switched part of the argu- ment from the Schmeling-Baer fight to the meeting of the first mentioned pair.

The score must be made under Sum- mer rules, except on courses where ‘Winter rules prevail at all times. Scores must be made on an 18-hole course, recognized by the Wemen's Dis- trict Golf Association. | A nmnewly arrived player must play under her cold handicap, provided said | hla’indlcap is not more than two years old. Any player who cannot comply with the foregoing rules must compete from | scratch. i Handicaps must be revised, either | upward or downward, based on scores | of the previcus season, at least two| weeks before the opening of the tourna- | ment season. A player’s handicap can be raised at the beginning of the cur-| rent tournament season, but must be | reduced as scores warrant. | In determining handicaps, each| score must be figured according to par | on the course played. All handicaps of players in the asso- ciation are to be revised before next Monday, according to the scores of last year and this year to date. A special committee will be appointed by the chairman of the handicap com- mittee to pass on any doubtful cases for the special revision of handicaps. These rules have been drawn up by a committec consisting of Mrs. Gross, chairman; Mrs. J. W, Beller, Columbia; Mrs. Harry A. Knox, Congressional; Mrs. Donald Scott, Indian Spring; Mrs. L. G.

IOME one should break the news gently or roughly to Max Baer that, while swimming is great ex- ercise, it is not a training medium for a fighter, or for any competition de- manding land speed. The muscles that swimming develops are not speed muscles—and Max Baer | will need all the speed he can develop to have an even chance with Max Schmeling. The. one mistake Baer may make is in thinking that he can beat Schmeling on superior physical grounds—weight and strength and size. Apparently he hasn’t taken time to figure that Schme- ling is a cooler, smarter boxer, who can do a lot of damage with a right hand at_close range. Baer is good enough to win this next fight—if he uses his head. This goes especially for his next two weeks of training. He has the greatest chance any young fighter ever knew—being within two fights of the heavyweight champion- ship. Bput he can't kid his way into the equipment he will need when the arc lights blaze down on his black hair the night of Jene 8. If he isn’t ready that night, it will be his own fault. No one has worked harder than Jack Dempsey in the last year to steer Baer along the right road. The Two Pennant Races. THE astonishing attendance at ball games, even in sour weather, the increasing fan gossip you run into, and the boom in letter writing from the non-combatants all prove that base ball has rolled back to the crest again. Without any further doubt the old game is facing ome of its best years. And unless there is a decided switch later on, the two pennant races will hold this public interest most of the Summer. ‘Yankee Wnrrrl'n. FTER winning their first seven games and threatening to leave the American League on the back of its neck, the Yankees are now tangled up with more worry than they have known in a year. After that first wild forward surge they have failed to break even, with a road record well below their average pace. Their pitching has been spotty and the war clubs of Ruth and Gehrig have lately been rigged out with silencers. It is something unusual for this palr to finish a Western trip with- out firing a home run. Meanwhile, both Cleveland and have shown they can make a fight of it, while Chicago has re- mained one of the season’s main sur- rises. pvadlwtmwumfl'hnbunwo uncertain to give any reliable line on the situation. ‘Cold and rnn& days, of post) scramble form along all will take a few weeks of to give a better line t the Giants have been front with Manor. s, C.

But the stars force the clubhead out on the line of direction. That is a necessary thing to do. On short pitches, the clubhead will finish out in front of the player, as that of Francis Ouimet is shown in the drawing above. Of course on & full mashie shot the club will come around as that of Tommy Armour’s is shown do- ing, above. But before it takes this turn it will have gone out on the line of direction just as far as the arms will have permitted. If the clubhead is not swung so that it will go out on the line of direction, a pulled shot will result.

Bible ended Spring practice with a smile—for he has prospects of a full team of seniors, with plenty of com- petition for every position.
