IN SOUTHERN
HE Volunteers now are leading
the Southern League 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 indlvidual list, Moose Mc-
Cormick leads with .356, closely pur
sved by Pete Knisely, the “Big Bear
cat”’ of the Barons, with .351. Kirby,
much sought by big league clubs, is
batting .331. Earl Tyree, of the Crack
ere, has swatted his way up to .329,
and promises to cause pangs to a
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.
Following are the averages of all
players batting better than .200:

Univ. of Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA, July 18.—With Mike
Balentl, the Lookouts’ maimed short

prospects at the University of Chatta
nooga are brlihter for this fall than at
ain.\' time in the history of the institu
tion.
A& thoroughly versed as any man in
the country fin Glenn Warner's methods
of coaching, Balenti is expected to
transform the Moccasins this year into
a typieal Carlisle gridiron aggregation
with tricks and fakes galore. While at
Carlisle Balent! enjoyed a national rep
utation, and he is expected to attract
much gridiron talent from the prep
schools in this section. He inherits the
nucleus of a strong squad. As a mem
ber of the S. 1. A. A. a representative
of Chattanooga will attend the hlg meet.

one-vear rule will undoubtedly find a
supporter in the local institution.
Indianapolis Feds
INDIANAPOLIS, July 18.—Clifford 8.
Lee, an Indianapolis newspaper man, is
suing the Indianapolis Federal League
club for $675, alleged due him as salary
for the remainder of the baseball sea

local Federals. Lee charges that he has
a contract with J. Ed. Krause, grenl
dent of the club, to act, as publicity
man for the club until October 9. Lee
was discharged on June 15 without
cause, according to his complaint.
NEW PACING RECORD.
SAGINAW, MICH., July 18.—What
was claimed to-day to have been a new
record for a 4-vear-cld pacer on a haif

won the second heat of a 2:12 pacing

Y oung Blood Favored for Defense of Davis Cup
Williams- Murray in Big Tennis Competition
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 Fichard Norris
Williams, of Harvard University.
Murray is 21 and Williams 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 conspicuousiy to
bring the trophy back to America last
year.
No sooner had Murray landed here
from the Coast than he was immedi
ately hajled as a Davis Cup player.
As the officials of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association
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
Australlan, Murray is a left-hander
and has an original method of exe
cuting his shots, He is as agile as a
deer in covering his court, ind 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 leal 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 peculiar methods is
bound to have some faults, but the
old-timers say that the errors show:
by Murray will disappear with time
and the gradual advance of steadi
ness.
Perhaps one of the worst faults ex.

| hibited by Murray {s his labored de
livery. In bringing the racquet up for
Ithe 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
faot 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 ahout to do, and then when
' the plan of the stroke has flashed
| apross his brain it {s time enough to
| let fly the racket at the ball. Murray
ldoes 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
lare 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, ne
won his match against C. P. Dixon.
He was then 22. McLoughlin is the
youngest internationalist on the list,
but then he was not successful until
last vear, when he was a year oider
than Williams.
During the pau% week the question
has been frequently heard: Will Wil
liams be on the team this time?
There {s not much doubt about a fa
vorable answer. and also that he will
be in first-rate condition when the
time arrives for the nomination of
the defenders. In his early trips to
the courts this gpring Williams was a
trifle off his game, and the majority
jumped 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 Mec-
Loughlin for the national champion
ship at Newport,
It is true that Willlams is a little
raw in spots, especially in the hitting
line, but a couple of weeks' play is
gure to tone down the faults, and then
| he will be found to clear the net bet
ter and lose considerably legs in the
scoring. He falls to swing his racket
l with the freedom of last year, but this
| fault will also wear away with steady
! practice,
| Williams in Jolly Mood.
The theory has been frequently dis
lcussed as to what sort of a game Wil
liams will play when he becomes real

ly steady, and regards the conse
quence seriously. No matter whether
the shot fs successful or not, the Har
vard man finds himself in the same
mood and he hops back to the base
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 middie of the fun he is
liable to make the most sensational
kind of a stroke, *
An instance of how lightly Williams
takes the important matches 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 tae
tally was 2 all. The English critics
have it that at that stage Willilams
suffered from the ‘“impetuosity of
youth,” with the result that in the
fourth and deciding set Parke quickly
gained a 4-love lead and won the sat
and the match by 3 sets to 2.
Perhaps the fact that the match had
no bearing on the fate of the Davis
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.

three weeks, have dlsplaced the

top by one point, which i{s noet much
of a lead at that. Dave Robertson,
the ex-Mobile star, got into a slump
a couple of weeks ago and is now
pretty well down {n the list, batting
.283. He I 8 ahead of Wagner, at
that, although the Dutchman gained
A few points in the last week. Beck

with Grant, Burns, Devore and Dai
ton well up. .
