Morning
The Athens City Tennis Tcurna
mgnt got underway Thursday af
ternoon with fourteen matches be
ing played off. Though the favor
dtes all won their first round
matches, most of them had to ex
tend themselves. The closeness of
the contests made the opening
round an unusually interesting
‘one, both for the players and spec
tators. Due to tm‘mrgo‘ number
“of entries a preliminary round was
played. thus making some of the
players play two matches in the
“same afternoon. It is interesting
40 note that all the winners of the
preliminary matches also won In
‘the first round. Unusual interest
is being taken in the tournament,
and 'a large zrour of spectators
were on hand to waich the open
ing matches.
The results of the Everett-Hodg
son match were not in this morn-‘
ing, but all the others were played
‘on schedule: George Griffeth, seed
ed number two in the tournament,
had a close match with O, L.
Floyd. Floyd won the first set 6-4
Griffeth then took the second set
6-2, and was leading five games to
one in the final set when Floyd
‘staged a rally and evened the score
‘at five all. Griffeth then won two
‘gameés to close out the set and
match, 7-5.
. Ed - McConnell, seeded number
three, had little trouhle in win
ning from McCommons in the pre
liminary round by the scores of
6-2, 6-3. He then defeated M
_Garity in the first round 6-0, 6-4.
- Edwin Southerland, the fourth
geeded player, had a battle with
‘(laude Giles in the preliminary
“round and won only after play
“ing two hard fought sets, 6-4, 7-5.
This was one of the outstanding
matches of the afternoon. South
“erland then defeated Joe Wyck
jiffe 7-5, 6-1. He had a distinct
,M\‘rantage in the second set, but
_ Wyckliffe made him put all he had
~in the first.
5 Walter Cornett and Stancil Smith
ayed perhaps the closest match
: the day, and Cornett won after
ing fought through three long
1 ts. Smith took the first set 6-4,
g ly to lose the next two. Cornett
~ won the next set 6-3. He also won
~_the final set, but was pushed up to
4 8-6 by Smith.
- Another interesting match was
. played by Milton Jarnagin and
° Mason Williams. Jarnagin easily
w.won the first set 6-0, but had to
L itight to take the second 10-8.
1 ! Summerford defeated Turner
~ 6-2, 6-3. Summerford then defeat

By RAY DAUGHTERS
Famous Swimming Coach, Wash
ington Athletic Club*
Much time and effort have been
spent by some critics in explain
ing the difference between the
American and Japanese crawl
strokes. In execution they are al
most identical. ‘The difference lies
in the arm stroke timing, with
perhaps a looser leg whip, depend
ing on the individual
The Japanase swimmers' chief
physical characteristics are short
bodies, short armg, and abnor
mally powerful legs. American
swimmers are blessed with a
longer reach, but the Japanese
have taken tHe stroke apart and
overcome their lack of reach by
the development of what practical
1y is a double arm pull
By pausing the arm in the
catch position in front of the head
almost until the arm on the op
posite slde joins it, thev have ac
quired a superior driving power.
FIREMEN WIN OVER
CITIZENS PHARMACY
Victory Decides Winner
Of “A"" Division of
Diamond League
“Flip” Costa’s long double to
rvightfield with the bases loaded in
the eighth inning gave the Fire
men two runs, and a 5 to 4 vie
tory over Citizens Pharmacy in the
Diamond Ball league yesterday af
ternoon on high gchool field. The
victory gave the Firemen undis
puted possession of the champion
ship of the “A’ division of the
league, and the right to play the
Hosiery .dill team for the cham
pionship of the entire 'oop.
Up until the time Costa picked
to get his only hit, the Pharmacy
team had played on even terms
with the Firemen, and by virtue of
a wild throw, had pushed across
two runs to hold a 4 to 3 lead. The
game was one of the best ever
played In the loop, despite the
faulty flelding of both teams.
Both the pitchers, Costa for the
Firemen, and Jimmy Whittner for
the Pharmacy team, were in rare
form, and had opposing batters in
check for the majority of the
game, with Costa giving up five
bingles, and ‘Whittner iimiting the
Firemen to four. b ]
Joe Caldwell, second baseman
for the Citizens team, was the only
man on either team to get more
than one hit. Caldwell collected
two hits, and two runs out of four
times at bat.
Two misjudged fly balls, that
went for hits in the eighth inning,
proved to be the downfall of the
Citizens team. The first man up
for the Firemen hit a pop fly into
short rightfield, that should have
been caught by either the second
baseman or. the rightfielder, but
when both of them went after it
they almost ran into one another,
and the ball Aropped for a bhingle.
The next man popped to center
field, but the Pharmacy center
fielder was playing too far back
and that also went for a hit.
Pitchier Whittner caused the next
two men to pop up to the infield
and things looked brighter for the
Citizens team. Then Pitcher Costa
chose his time to hit, and it won
the ball game. >
The Firemen and Hosiery Mill
team will meet next Monday, Tues
day, and Wednesday on Herty field
to decide the winner of the league.
The geries will go two out of three
games, but both teams will be
striving to take two straight. Tt
was decided upon at a meeting last
night of the officials and manag
ers to hold the serieg next week.

The paused arm, or first arm,
pullg through until slightly past
the ghoulder before the second arm
starts pulling.
Wen the recovery of the first
arm is completed, the second arm
is pulling through about even
with the shoulders. A highly per
fected and powerful leg drive
makes this stroke practical,
In the past American gwimmers
have kept each arm pull separate
aepending on an evenly divided
pull, follow throtigh and recovery
for each arm.
If one will pardon the constant
reference to my own champion,
Jack Medica, - thig boy uses the
Japanege style of arm stroke tim-
Ing only for an 800-yard or more

the American type of arm strok
ing is best suited to ipcrease

Winder Wins

From Eagan Park in

Doubl i 0
e Bill on July 4
The Winder baseball team, a
member of the Piedmont league,
won a double victory from Eagan
Park Wednesday, July 4, in Win
der. The Piedmont league team
took the first game 6 to 5, and
captured the second, 4 and 0.
Both games were playeqa well,
and were exciting from beginning
to end. Elder pitched the first
game for the Winder team, and
although touched for nine hits,
was very steady in the pinches.
Winder touched Pitcher Wallace
for 14 safe hits during the con
test,
In the second game, Austin,
‘Winder hurler, was practically un
beatable, and he limited the Ea
gan park team to two safe hits.
His team mates could not get but
six, but they made. them count,
and scored the four runs, which
was enough for Pitcher Austin.
Braswell, Deaton and McDonald
led the Winder hitting attack in
the first game, the first two men
tioned getting three out of five
attempts, and McDonald hitting
safely twice out of flve times.
Vinson, Osburn, Cole and Mec-
Donald were the best batters for
the losers.
. In the second game, Deaton was
the only outstanding hitter, while
Riley and Beall collected the only
hits for Eagan Park.

Pounding the pitching of “Dac”
Gentry for 14 hits, John Green's
cellar outfit bested Henry Rhodes’
favored crew in a slugging duel
yesterday afternoon at the “Y”, the
flnal score standing 17 to 10 in
favop of the Green team.
Both of the teams plaved over
half of the game with only eéight
men, which accounts for the wun
usual number of hits that were se
cured. The winners secured 14
knocks as mentioned above while
the losers accounted for 12.
Guy Smith, Green moundsman,
led his teams batting attack gath
ering 4 singles out of 6 tries and
scoring 4 runs. Dillard, Deas, An
derson, and Roy Cooper all secured
2 safe bingles for the winners
while Reav®s accounted for the
only home run that any playe, on
the winning side was able to get.
Although he did not start play
ing until the game was half over,
Howell Praither found he had
plenty of time to send two of Guy
Smith's ill-fated tosses high over
the left field bank, the first be
ing good for three bases while the
final was good for all four of the
sacks. Praither 11ed out his final
time but was the batting star for
the defeated Rhodes team. Capain
Rhodes and Hoyt Robertson also
had a good day at the plate, each
getting 8 for 5, one of Rhodes bhe
ing a circuit clout.
This afternoon Lumpkin will
meet Rosenthal in what promises
to be a good and closely fought
contest,

Good games are scheduleda to
take place in the Piedmont league
tomorrow, with Athens battling
Winder on Sanford field, Statham
playing Crawford iln Crawford,
Bishop playing Commerce in Bish
op, and Whitehall battling Good
Hope in Whitehall.
Statham is leading the league at
present with two victories and no
defeats, and one game under pro
test. They will probably come out
the winner in the Crawford game,
but it is not a sure bet,
Athens and Winder will battle
on Sanford field at 4 o'clock and
the admission will be 25 and 15
cents. Athens will probably line
up with Tucker on third base,
Beusse in centerfield, whitehead in
rightfield, Gann on second, James
at shortstop, Bishop in left, Hill on
first base, Anderson catching, and
Cartey pitching.

Lou Gehrig Slams Out
Two Homers: Bats
In 7 Markers
By HERBERT W, BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer
If it's still too early to count
them entirely out of the running,
the Washington Senators’ chances
of retaining the American league
pennant nevertheless grow slimmer
and slimmer each day.
The partial collapse of what was
an all-star pitching staff a year
ago and injuries to key-men, nota
bly Joe Huhel' and TLuke Sewell,
have contributed to the champions’
poor showing in the last three
weeks.
Their third succesgive setback
and their 11th defeat in 18 games,
an 8-3 trouncing from the New
York Yankees yesterday, left the
Senators in fifth place, eight ex
tremely large games out of first
