Seven—Time British Winner To Lead Team In U. S. Games

 

 

 

 

MQS. ..
LAMBERT) .
‘ CHAMBERS

By NORMAN E. BROWN

The wonder playing of Milo. Su-
zanne LengIen of France, the vic-
tory of Miss Kathleen McKane.
British star, over Miss Helen Wills
last season. and other thrilling
events of the feminine nettcra have
thrilled the tennis world of late
seasons. Some of tho younger'ton-
nls fans probably have heard little

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

of Mrs. 11. Lambert Chambers. '

She is the veteran llritlsh star
who will captain and manage the
team of English women netters com-
ing to this country shortly to play
in tile Wightluan cup series.

The fact that Mrs. Chambers hold
the Ilritlsll championship in singles
seven times might to place her as a
slur. She met Mlle. Longietl in

1919. when the French maid was
rising to the peak of her game and
cattle within a point of defeating
her on two different occasions. A
point defeat at. the hands of Milo.
Lengien mean- much. -

Accompanying Mrs. Chambers will
be no lou a personage than Miss
llthane. intent on givinguiu Willa
a chance in the Wilhtman series
and perhaps the national tourney of
rcvenglng that 1924 defeat.

If present plans are carried out

 
 

Miss Joan Fry will also be a mem-
ber of the team. She is the min.
still in her teens, who has twice de-
feated Miss McKano this season.
Mrs. Randolph Lycett and Miss Ev-
elyn Colyer will be the other them-
bers of the invading crow.

Truly a formidable array of tai-
chi.

MUSKOGEE, June
home runs in seven days! 1

That‘s the record set recently by
Max \Vest. centeriielder of the Mus-
kogee. Western Aucciation team.»
He hit honle runs for seven consec-
utive games. all played against 0k-
mulgee. four there and three here,
and in two games doubled up with
his circuit smashes.

Dope hounds around here be-
lieve this is an all-time record.

West is now leading the league in
home runs at 21 and his battlns
average is .408. also the best in the
circuit.

The young Texan. playing his
second year of professional ball. is
causing a scurry of big league scouts
hither. and undoubtedly will go up
this fall. adding another feather to
the war bonnctt of Manager Charles
E. "Gabby" Street. who developed

West does everything right-hand-

than they can at the start.

Waller Johnson is throwing the
lift” with all his old time vigor.
t‘o1elcskie. has been doing a fine
portion of his ahnro for tile team
and should be able to do more. Mar.
berry is a good fill-in pitcher. as he
was in 1924, his great speed helping
him. as well as a young arm that has
not lost its vigor. Ruether has pitch-
ed more successfully than he pitched
for Brooklyn, which is not. intended
to scatter any flowers over his prow-
ess. and Zachary is simply moseying
along. lie is not as good as he was
Ill 1924. although he should be bet-
for later. beft-handers are such an
uncertain commodity that any n1nn~
agcr who has one never knows what
to expect. Ore“. frOm whom little
has been heard. may turn in and
pitch like a. fiend ill the closing days
of the season, as he did on the coast
last year. -

The release of Mogrldge to St.
Louis perhaps had to come. if Wash-
ington needed a veteran catcher to
assist Ruel, but it also extracted a
lot of sentiment from the Washing-
ton cause. for Mogridge was the
pitcher who stood between success
and defeat for Washington last year
in the world series. Walter Johnson
got a. heap of the glory. Zachary
pitched two great games for his taunt
but it was Mogridge who turned th
title at tile Polo Grounds.

Mogridge could not win for Wash-
ington this season, and the rope was
cut as quickly as you can say it, but
he Icoked good in the spring when
some of the other left-hamlets
didn't.

Griff has taken on Scott for his
shortstop position. a mighty wise
move. with the Washington where
they are. He has Severeld behind
the bat to hold up the team when
the,bs.ttls Is white hot. and he has
all kinds of immediate help from
Johnson. who is booming on. and
apt to continue to do so. as long as
his arm is as pliable as it is now.

Joe Harris can play first base and
hit. right-handed against left-hand
pitchers.

Washington is .1 much better
equipped team for the end of the
fray than it was in 1924mm! the
Athletics will find that out.

NEW YORK. June 27—Watcl1ing

links of tho Noun-lair Golf Club the
writer was struck hy the df‘ferrnce
which golf suggests to all other
sports in which college teams. or in-
dividuals. compete one against the
other.

There is "? cheering, for one
thlllg. Imagine 11 group of partis-
uus whooping it up for old Siwash
just. as the representatives of a rival
college are about to putt or drive?
It is unthinkable. naturally.

There are. indeed. more reasons
than one why tllc wild ululations of
the college pack are not to be con-
sidered. The gallery, to present. one
reason. is not and may not be di-
vided in accordance with collegiate
affiliations. Golf galleries are too
inclined to wander to various points
and to decide which players they
shall follow.

Say an excellent Harvard player
is up against a superfine. Syracuse
man-do yoli suppose the Prince-
tonians present are going to watch
”it: game of their own representa-
ti1e‘.’ f you do, think again.

Golf galleries are always made 11p
of players and players are critics
before they are anything else.

And at Moutclnir ill Jersey you
will lilld no college spirit of recog—
nizable brand. College spirit in
truth is totally eliminated In favor
of golfing spirit. There is not the
slightest way I'y which the 1isitor to
tilt-:12 Jersey hills could distinguish
this as an illic11-oilegiale contest

of alumni and undergraduates.

significance unshared by any other
sport on the collegiate calendar,
however, is the fact that the under-

A college alumnus of great golfing

Stanley Harris, manager of the
world's ehamp‘on Senators. leads his
team in sacrifice hitting. The young
pilot's ability to lay 'cm down gives
llitll plenty of opportunities to teach

his men the value of team play
ubovc desire for ludi1ldual glory.

Harris is an effective and timely
hitter. lie has the natural desire of
a. ball player to "pickle one." But he
has learned the \alllc of playing
the game. He sets the example for
his teammates day 111 and day out,
which may be one of the reasons
why the Senators rambled along to
the championship last year and are
making a bid for the flag this sea-
son. The, New York Yankees have
several times given striking evi-
dences of what a. team of stars can
do when the members scek personal
glory above team success.

Last spring, while. the bench Tig-

While manyfactors enter into the
partial collapse of the Cleveland ball
club the outstanding weakness of the
team is ill its offense department.

Ever since Tris Speaker assumed
the reigns in the Forest City he has
had a powerful batting team—a club
that could step out day in and day
out and battle the Tigers. the Yanks
and other bail murdering outfits.

For a time this season the Texan
got fair hitting but the sluggers slip-
ped. The veteran Charlie Jamieson.
always a timely hitter and perennial
contender for league batting honors.
was finally benched because of his
failure to hit. Only three members of
the team are clouting the ball at a
.300 clip day in and day out. They
are Spreakcr,-Joey Howell and the
veteran George Burns.

Speaking of team batting. A but"-
usual of the American League bat—
ting records reveals an interesting
situation in the younger cu'cuit.
Leading the pack of batters are W111-
go. Cobb and ileilmann of the Tigers
and Simmons and Lamar of the .1111-
letics.

Now the names of Cobb and Neil-
mann among the leading hitters
draw no sulprise But "lied" \i'iugo
is a newcomer. And the presence of
two members of the once modest and
retiring Athletics among tile leaders
is something to ponder o1er.

Connie has at last got the batting
strength he needed of recent years
to carry along 11 but has been a bril-
iiant pitching staff at times at least.

The far-famed ball murderers of
the Yankees have dropped, The St.
Louis Browns find little in tile bat-
tling averages to cheer them—out-
side, of George Sisler's work.

Truly the batting worm has turned
a bit.
