April 12 (P—Engage- of Miss Mary K.

C. Pyle and tour the country with Suzanne Lenglen. The question of whether renun- clation of amateur standing in one sport means forfeiture of amateur standing in another is one the asso- ciation has never before been called upon to answer. Being one of the country’s lead- ing feminine performers in golf as well as tennis, Miss Browne is anx- {ous to pres: er amateur stand- ing on the links although has renounced it on the court. In accepting the offer of the West- chester club, which Miss Glenna Col- lett and Miss Marie Jenney are prominent in organizing, Miss Browne will ‘eapitalize her tennis ability alone, Jock Hutchison, for- mer British open champton, has Lean engaged as golf professional, the announcement sald, Both ap- polntments are to take effect next Miss Browne previously has ned her professional tennis ef- Hutchi- ssional at the s cl Colnciden | partura vear. | forts to exhibition son Is no 2 Glen View Golf club, gamies, ;I,m'k ot Good Ponies is Proving a | Great Wandicap to Players of Game In England. “Polo pros- t for this in England.

I have taken my trounc- ings like all of the boys, but T guess there are three games that stand out most prominently.

The game that brought the sad- dest heart throb in my career was layed in St. Louis during the sum or of 1015, After a piteher has lieen at it so long he craves for the fame of a no-hit game. And here was one all but in my hip-pocket. Only one batter had reached first base on me up to the ninth inning with two out.

Comiskey, the Old Roman, will cele- brate the home inaugural of his 51st year in baseball tomorrow in an en- larged ball park, built entirely from earnings from the national game. Of all the baseball club owners, Comiskey is sald to be the only one whoss fortune (reputed one of the largest in the major leagues) was | made entirely from baseball. (‘omiskey's first ball park seated 0 and its greatest crowd was during the 1906 world series when ,000 were jammed inside its four wooden walls. Comiskey's mewest park, enlarged and rebuflt since the close of the 1926 season, will 00 and can accommodate 60,000. | Comiskey began his professional | baseball career at the age of 17 as a third baseman at Milwaukee for | $80 a month, convineing his father | that the plumbing trade was not for him. One year there and he went to Elgin, 1ll, as a pitcher and won | every game for a season. The next year he went to Dubuque, Towa,! Where he developed into a first base- | man and became the tirst to discover that the initial guardian was not necessarily anchored with one foot to the bag. Four years there and he graduat- | ed to the St. Louls Browns, winning four pennants with them. One year | with the Brotherhood team in Chi- cago and Le went back to St. Loui transferring a vear later to the Cin- cinnati Reds, where he began to lay foundations for the Western league and later the Amerlcan league with Ban Johnson. Tn 1810 after ten y of success | with the Chicago White Sox he built the present Comiskey park at a cost of 1750,000. This year he added $4010,600 to the investment, inereasing the s capacity with double decked stand around the entire field except a tin section of unroofed bleachers ir nter fleld, Tor many years Comisk health has been a matter of concern | but two years of outdoor life made him again a vigorous figure in the | conduct of his club.

M. C. A. handball courts when brother met brother in the final match for the “Y" singles cham- pionship. It took five torrid games to decide the winner and Sammy was crowned champion only after he had taken the fifth contest by a one- | point margin, the score being 21 to {20, | The mateh had been hanging fire for more than a week with the | brothers even going into training in preparation for it. Older players | were backing Eddie to win because of his greater experience and his better court generalship while the younger element was backing Sam- my beeause of his youth and stamina. The contest started with boys playing hard. Eddie, through foxy shots and well placed volleys, out- | swarted Sammy in the first game nd won by the score of 21 to 1% The tables were turned, however in {the next two games. Sammy's play |ing was so efficient that his brother could hardly get out of his own way so fast was the hall whizzing by head. Sammy took the contests by | the casy scores of 21 to 12 and 21 to 7. In the fourth game, Fddie ha the “breaks” against him and Sam- my soon had a lead of 19 to 5. He appeared to be an easy victory but at this stage, Fddie used all his skill and speed. With new life, he | sent up difficult serves, placed clean low shots and little by litile he cut | down Sammy’s Irad until the score was tied. He scored another point making it 20 all and the game went into {extra points. Eddie made a sensa- tional rally and took the game by to 26 score Both players were near exhaustion from their efforts. Both had won two games and a fifth was necessary to decide the championship. Fre- | quent times-out were called so that { sach could conserve his strength and speed. They played on even terms until | the 15 mark was reached. The last {five points were the hardest as | neither knew whether he was com- ing or going. FKddie swept into the lead and seemingly had the cham- pionship cinched when the score stood 20 to 15 in his favor. However, starting with the next play, he blew up completely and Sammy came through with a rush to take the game, match and cham- pionship by the score of 21 to 20, By agrecment before the last game, the contest did not go into 0 RETURN T0 RING Berlenbach, 1 all Marecells, | Paul ormer Light Heavywelght Champlon May Fight Again in July. 19 (P-Pant . former light heas weight champion, here with hi of a week, says he i3 pgoing hack into the ring at the behest of the ladies of his family.
