You can make the ball go almost straight up in the air with the niblick by learnlne bow to lay the blade back to different degrees. Onyl experimenting can give you the range of this. When using the niblick for such shots be sure ’to keep the blade low to the ground as it, starts back from the ball. then hit straight through the ball and out after it. , ‘ (Copyright John F.

Will it be Australia or Francethat the American Davis Cup team will face in the challenge round next month? As has been the case in the last three seasons. will Uncle Sam's ten- nis representatives face the Antipo- dean outlay with Jimmy Andersen and Gerald Patterson carrying the brunt of the opposition. or will they encounter the famous French pair- of Jon Herein. and Rene Lancet- with one Jacques Brugnoe tossed in? Those questions will be answered early in September when the netmep from far away Australia clash with the French exponents at Forest Hills in the interacne trials to deter. mine the rightful challenges of the Americans for the game's premier trophy-i—the Davis Cup. It will mark the third meeting of the two European teams in the in~ tor-zone final round in as many years. In both ms and 1084 the Austral- ian players ramped off with the hon- ors in a comparatively easy manner. nest iii lessons. This time thin" stack up differ- ently. however. For one thing. France is certain to show its best learn in seasons. possibly in the hien tory of that country. In Borotra end Lacoste it has a pair of brilliant chaps. fairly young. it is true. But nevertheless. boasting plenty of la. tent ability. . Borotra is the present national in- door singles champion. Lacoste holds the Wimbledon title. Both are clevér alivround recuuet wielders. Each is stepping to the front rapidly. Ac doubles players they are particu- larly formidable. . Brugnon is not rated quite se high. ly. But plays a good. aggressive game and helps round out a tough triumvirate. Against the French team Australia will send Patterson and Anderson and possibly Hawker. the latter in the doubles. These three are anything but youngsters at the game. the first two named having played in Davis Cup tournaments for the last six years. Certainly they are not improving. In fact. they're slipping back. if ally- thing. Just the reverse of the French lads. In last year's clash it will be re.

THREE CONTENDER?» The National League race is tak- ing on all the aspects of a three-club rs‘ce instead of two. During the past month the Cine cinnati Red have made rapid stride; and are no in the position of a con- tender. . ' During my training camp trip last spring a majority of the experts I talked with expressed‘ihe opinion that the Reds were too light a hit- ting club to receive pennant consid- oration. As a matter of fact a madorlty of them consigned Cincinnati to a sec- and string berth. After I watched the Reds in action for aeveraideys at Orlando. Fla. I was forced to disagree. It was apparent to me that no club with so strong a pitching staff as the Reds boasted could be count- ed out of the running, despite lack of a punch at the but. The present showing of the Reds has justified the opinion expressed at that time. The pitching staff of the Cincinnati Club has more than stoned for certain other weaknesses. The showing of the Reds. a pop- ular one with fandom. tends to make. the troubles of into New York'Giante all the greater. e t O . Now. Mom-aw has two clubs. Oin- cinneti as well as Pittsburgh. todis- pose of if the Giants are to win their fifth straight pennem. O t O . LAUDS COLLINS. Tommy Connolly. dean of the American League staff of umpires. adds his word of praise to the Many nice things that have been said about Eddie Collins in his new role of men— ager. _ “The work of the Chicago Club re- flects the keen mind of its men- ager." says Connolly. "No club in the American League is playing more intelliggnt belitheu the White sex. and incidentally. the team is doing it in e businesslike manner. . "The Chicago team to a man acts Andersen. et sl. are in for a hectic are becoming a bit tired of the an- Iessen this season. And it would not nusl droppings the Americans have been handing the Aussies and opine that a. meeting between America and France would at least break the old monotony of things and would cause be surprising to see the chaps from so-cellod sunny France come out on top.

For While there is. of course. no ants mosity toward the Antipodeens. fol- lowers of the game in this country as if it knew how baseball should be played. There are no conferences that delay the game. There isssnep to the play at every man on the club. “Collins seems to work on the theory that a player able to make the grade in the majors should knew what it is all about. His players set as if able to live up to that belief. “Regardless of where Chicago fin- ishes this year. Collins is to be highly complimented. He has taken a tail-end ball club and made it look like a pensnnt possibility." 0 e e Collins modestly explainsthe tine showman of his club. by series that every player is giving him his best efforts and he is'theeeby getting re sults. . I O I IGNORE DIEGEL. Recently. after winning the Cans. dian open golf championship. Leo Dlegel suggested a meeting between himself, Jim Barnes and. Willie biso- Fsrlane to decide the unofficial world championship. Jim Barnes is the British chhm- , Willie Macb‘ariane is the the United States title. the Canadian crown plan. holder of Diesel is weaned. ~ These three titles are the major honors in sclfdom. Diegei was with- in his rights when he suggested a meeting with Barnes and MucFar- lane. Already Barnes and Machriane have signified their intention of giv- ing him the run around. The two have announced they will meet for the unofficial world golf title earlyin September. . Neither Barnes nor MacFeriane will make any friends by entirely ignoring Diegel, who. by the way. decisively defeated hiacrerlane in the Canadian open. t ,0 O A three-cornered event which would include Dle'ol Would create far more interest than a ”- Mecl‘arlsne meeting.
