"Dixie Booming, the Washingion
pitcher, is furnishing the buzz of gos-
sip for the Capital City fans, it‘ not
for those of the entire league, those
days, by his splendid record of eleven
successive victories, and the smiling,
belt-pulling southpaw may go out and
hang up a new season's big league
record along these lines. Certainly his
good form on the mound allows' this
DFBdK‘tlon to be made without any
provisos; This youngster is no
bloomer, either. iHis string‘lncludes

traveling White Elephants.

with the bases jammed. Cobb was in

working for it free ticket. The count
was three and two and the Georgia
Peach looked for a fast one in the
pinch. Right there was where he
made his mistake. John Henry,
whose handling of Boehllnvg had done
much toward making his effectiveness
against all comers, signed for a curve.
(Tobi) thought the ball was surely go-
ing wild and stood like a statue until
it hooked across the plate. His disgust
can be imagined. The very idea of a
kid twlrler hooking one across in a
pinch astonished the peerless clouter
and he growled for ten minutes alter
returning to the bench. But. he had
fanned and Boehltng worked himself
out of his dilemma with but one run
going over the dish.
Two years ago vBoehling was a raw
kid on the lots of Richmond, Va.. his

‘ NEW YORK, July 24.«—Robert I).
Wrenn, president of the United States
Lawn Tennis Association, has sailed
for England to participate in an impor-
tant conference regarding the Davis
Cup matches now being decided there.
.;Wrenn will be present on the courts. - .
at Wimbledon to help the Americans.

Johnson with his advice on tactics.
‘Wrenn is a former national champion, , '
and us a scientific student or the
game has few counts on either side of
the Atlantic.
Although the purpose of giving his
strategic aid to the American team
has been announced as the main ob-
ject of Wrenn's trip, he admitted be-
fore sailing that he would take up
with the tennis authorities of foreign
countries, a plan to standardize the
h‘mllmug ,
rules for the Davis Cup competition.
The rules at present are vogue in the
extreme. Dwight E. Davis, of St.
Louis, 11 student at «Harvard, offered
the emblem for the world's champion
ship it decade ago. Then most of the
tennis interest was confined to Eng-
land and the United States, where
conditions are ntmilnr and an elabo-
rate code was drawn up.
The tremendous increase in tennis
interest or the last five years has eu-
lnrgcd the list of competing nations
until this month there were seven
with teams playing for the cup. Next
year it is expected that a dozen conn-
trtcs villi cuter players.
The play has always been on turf
courts, but there is no rule on the
hooks regarding the nature at the our»
loco, and the Germans, French and
llelglnne have threatened to force
challengers to play on dirt or board
courts it they win the world's title.
American devotees of tennis think
this would spoil the science of the
(sine. Wrens will router with the
bonds or foreign lawn tennln enuncia-
tlonn as soon on he reaches England.

ing mutually satisfactory to all the
