BRITISH SPORTSMEN DONT WANT TO BEAT US IN EVERYTHING, DONCHERKNOW!
You Know, Old Top, Bally Well’ Tewould Be Too Monopolistic on Our Part—Eh, Wot! Are They Really Spoofing Us? Rather!
HE Volunteers now are leading
the Soythern l.eague in team
batting, with Atlanta and Chat
tanooga tled for second place, a few
points behind. The entire league is
hitting pretty hard this year, part of
which may be due to uncertain
pitching.
In the individual list, Moose Mc-
Cormick leads with .358, closely pur
sued by Rete Knisely, the “Big Bear
‘tat” of the Barons, with .361. Kirby,
much sought by big league clubs, 18
batting .331. Ear] Tyree, of the Crack
ers, has swatted his way up to .328,
and promises to cause pangs to Aa
number of pitchers before the season
ends. Welchonce, Kircher and Mc-
Connell also are above the .300 mark,
and Tommy Long is just under it. |

Young Blood Favored for Defense of Davis Cup
Williams- Murray in Big Tennis Competition
l .
. .By J. 8, Mitchel.
EW YORK, July 18.—Two of
N the youngest players mention
ed for the approaching Davis
Cup competition are Robert Lindley
Murray, of the University of South
ern California, and Kichard Norris
Williams, of Harvard University.
Murray is '2l and Willlams is about
two years older. The Californian has
rot vet made his debut as an inter
nationalist, while in that direction
Willlams might be termed a seasoned
player, for he helped conspicuously to
bring the trophy back to America last
year. .
No sooner had Murray landed here
from the Coast than he was immed]-
ately hailed as a Davis Cup player.
As the officials of the United States
National Lawn Ternis Assoclation
were on the alert for first-class ma
terial, either in singles or doubles.
they were glad when the new phenom
appeared.
Very soon after his Eastern debut
Murray annexed the Metropolitan
championship in the middle of June,
but ever since has not been doing
well. Whether the change of climate
affected him or the sudden transi
tion from the dirt courts to the grass
and vice versa, Murray is just now a
bit mixed up in his hitting.
Like Norman Brookes, the great
Australfan, Murray is a left-hander
and has an original method of exe
cuting his shots. He is as aglle as a
deer in covering his court, and can
always meet the most difficult shot
put across the net by his opponent.
No matter whether Murray hits a
forehand or backhand stroke, he man
ages to put a lot of work on the ball,
and this makes it hard for the other
player to handle the break.
Has Express sService. ‘
Murray has the real California ex
press service, the chop stroke, the
smash overhand, and, above all, the
rush to the net after the service. A
player with such pecullar methods is
hound to have some faults, but the
old-timers say that the errors shown
by Murray will disappear with time
and tha gradual! advance of steadi
ness.
Perhaps one of the worst faults ex-

bibited by Murray is his labored de
livery. In bringing the racquet up for
the shot he screws his body around
as if he were about to hurl the six
teen-pound hammer or the javelin,
and in this effort he twists the left
foot back too far, so that when he
wants to rush in after the ball he
finds his legs somewhat tangled and
in a bad position for a quick forward
movement.
It must be admitted that Murray
finds himself walloping the net a lit
tle too often, but that fault comes
from the eagerness to attack and a
want of precision in hitting the ball
on the bounce.
To make an effective passing shot
or a placement drive the player must
pause a fraction of a second to see
what he is about to do, and then when
the plan of the stroke has flashed
across his brain it {s time enough to
let fly the racket at the ball. Murray
does not make the least pause, but in
the real college style sails at the
sphere and gives it a furious smash.
The Davis Cup committee members
are fully alive to the fact they will
have to depend on the younger bri
gade to defend the cup this time.
Willlams has the dictintion of be
ing the youngest successful player
that ever contended for the Davis
Cup. In the encounter last year at
Wimbledon with the Englishmen, he
won hig mateh against C. P. Dixon.
He was then 22. McLoughlin is.the
voungest internationalist on the list,
but then he was not succesgful until
last year, when he was a year oider
than Williams.
During the past week the question
has been frequently heard: Will Wii
‘liams be on the team this time?
‘There is not much doubt about a fa
vorable answer, and also that he will
‘pe in first-rate condition when the
time arrives for the nomination of
the defenders. In his early trips to
the courts this spring Williams was a
trifie off his game, and the majority
Humped to the conclusion that he was
‘an impossibility for the Davis Cup
defense. His work recently, however,
showed that he can hit with his speed
of last year, when he hustled Mc-
Loughlin for the national champion
ship at Newport.
It i true that Williams is a litile
raw In spots, especially in the hitting
line, but a couple of weeks' play is
| sure to tone down the faults, and then
' he will be found to clear the net bet
’ter and lose considerably less in the
scoring. He falls to swing his racke*
| with the freedom of last year, but this
lfault will also wear away with steady
| practice, S
Williams in Jolly Mood.
The thenry hae heen frequently dis
cneeed as ta what sort of a game Wil.
liams will play when he becomes real
HEARS(’'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA, SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1914
ly steady, and regards the conse
quence seriously. No matter whether
the shot is successful or not, the Har
vard man finds himself in the same
mood and he hops back to the hase
line as smiling after imparting a clout
against the net as when he scores a
difficult ace.
It is all the same to Willlams. He
smiles and laughs and makes his at
tack as if he were out for a holiday,
while in the middle of the fuh he is
liable to make the most sensational
kind of a stroke.
An instance of how lightly Willlams
takes the important matchea was se2n
in the Davis Cup singles against J.
C. Parke last year. The Harvard
player won the first set easily and
after four sets had been reeled off Lae
tally was 2 all. The English critics
have it that at that stage Williams
suffered from the “impetuosity of
vouth,” with the result that in the
fourth and deciding set Parke quickly
gained a 4-love lead and won the set
and the match by 3 sets to 2.
Perhaps the fact that the match had
no bearing on the fate of the Davia
Cup might have had something to do
with, Williams' unsteadiness, for
America had then won her three
matches and the cup was booked for
its trip home.

According to Jimmy Caliaban, the
failure of Christy Mathewson to start]
the world tour last fall was the making
of Faher. Matty's desertion left Mc-
Graw with only two hurlers, Wiltse and
Hearne. Cal suggested that Faber be
taken with the Giants. League rivairy
made a real battle of every game played
on the globa circling jaunt. It was the
experience Faber attained working |
against the White Sox that made him
a finished mound artist.
. . .
Now that Eddie Plank and Chief
Bender have both reached shutout form
the chances of the Mackmen being
knocked out of the league !eadership
begin to fade. 1f the other pitchers can
win half their games the two veterans
will see that the team remains on {top.

Chicago critics flfure the Cubs Supe-‘
rior to the Giants In every way exgept
at second base and shoristop. Few wlll‘
agree with them in plcking Schultejover
Burns or the Cub pi(nhin§ staff over
the Giants, even though McGraw’s hurl
ing corps is going poorly now,

Hank Robinson has been somewhat of
a disappointment as a Cardinal. Last

done well at times, but he has been un.
able to reach his Pittsburg form.

While Manager Birmingham,of the

saw him play this s?rlng. he is a cork-,
ing good sticker, fielder and base run

middle finger on his right hand.
