brilliant pleco of strategy at the

gpnerals In such a
shameful manner
that they woro

fce knows lots of songs, memorizes tho

Prominent Clubman

duitvo clX, tho Olympla. National
nn Quaker City. Broadway and
.; nnrt Is a great favorite with the
S EverV tlmo ko visits ono of
iCe Places. th clubmen INSIST that he
pTon a vocal number, which Is greatly
appreciated.
Now we como to tho strategy, lnstdo
tulf7"coup d'etat." or anything else
one might call it Gather closely whllo
we divulge tho secret
Charles visited tho Olympla last night
where ho appeared In a duet with Mr.
Benny Leonard, of New York, who stopped
off Just to spend tho evening with tho
home folks. Now Charles never shows up
very well when some ono clso is In tho act,
ed he put on hl3 monotoguo before his
partner appeared.
Some 6000 prominent clubmen attended
tho weekly meeting and they asked Mr.
Thomas to stago hl3 slnglo act Mr.
Thomas obliged. Ho stood In tho ccntro
of tho stage, throw back his head nnd
hurled his beautiful tenor volco at tho
rafters, walls, ceiling and everything else.
He kept the vast audlenco spellbound for
lire minutes and retired to tho wings amid
tumultuous applause.
Strategic Victory
And hero is where Charles scored his
strategic victory. Ho had a song to sing,
and he sang It Tho members of tho club
enjoyed It because Mr. Thomas used his
head and sang BEFORE and not AFTER
his duet with Mr. Leonard. It is doubtful
If tho singer could havo done himself
Justice had ho put It oft for 13 minutes.
After his "slnglo" act, Charles went on
with Mr. Leonard, and allowod tho visitor
to take, the leading part. Mr. Leonard
proved to be a good leader, for he led
an the way through tho six acts, and
.a..m havA Viann lnnrilncr vet If tho law
hadn't put nn ond to tho performance
In Justtco to Sir. Thomas, however. It
muit bo said that ho Is a vory hospltablo
person, Ho entertained a visitor and en
tertained him well. Ho was a superb host,
and received better than any host hns
received before Ho received on his chin.
Jaw, neck, nose, ears and body, and
allowed tho visitor to do anything ho
pleased.
At times Mr, Thomas seemed to grow
weary of roceiving, anu inuuisuu in uiijr
persiflage with Mr. Leonard. Ho would
stand still, toll Mr. Leonard somo family
history that surprised Mr. Leonard, and
then start receiving again. Tho visitor en
Joyed these verbal tributes very much,
and Immediately presented Mr. Thomas
with an assortment of crosses and hooks
to show his appreciation.
Wouldn't Go to Sleep
Benny had an Idea that Charles was
spending too much of his tlmo with him.
and tried hard to make his host retire.
For 18 minutes the visitor endeavored to
convince Mr. Thomas that it was tlmo to
go to sleep, but of no avail. Charles IN
SISTED on remaining up with his guest to
see that ho had a pleasant time.
In the very first net Benny allowed
Charles to do the receiving. He put over
Mveral left jabs, uppercuts and hooks
which were received nicely on the nose
and chin. Thomas covered his head with
his arms and then began to receive on
the body. It was the same stuff through.
oy.t we other acts, uenny was insistent,
kept after his man and had him very
tired at the finish.
It was a fairly Interesting affair In
spots, but somo of tha members went
home disappointed. They expected to see
the Kid go to sleep before the perform
ance was over, but Thomas cared noth
ing for their wishes. He was thera to
stay six rounds, and ho stayed.
Tom the start Leonard tried to put
over a haymaker. He would get Thomas
tied up In knots, feint him a couple of
times and then shoot his right or left
to the Jaw. He shook Charlie consider
ably, but was unable to knock him down.
Whenever Thomas got Into a tight place
n would cover his Jaw with his arms
and Benny was forced to step back and
wait for an opening.
Took No Chances
Leonard did the best ha could, but ha
had other things to think about besides
knocking Thomas out. Ho had to pro
tect himself and didn't dare to run tha
rtsk of breaking them on Charlie's elbows.

RAINS AND SUN
PUT LAST TOUCH
ON GOLF GREENS
Greens Keepers Happy
Again With Firm Turf
for Players
ROTARY GOES A-GOLPING
Hays of warm sunshlno that have
sprayed over tho golf courses of the lo
cality for tho Inst three days havo been
Hko topic, both to tho courses nnd also to
tho greens keepers. Late winter and un
kempt weather conditions havo laid back
tho fairways later than ever this year, but
tho thorough drylng-out that has taken
placo will do wonders for tho turf pro
vided, tho experts say, thoro h something
olso In tho way of rain to bo sprinkled In
with It
Tho last of tho courses figuring on a
formal opening day held their golf parties
on Saturday. Most of the club3 havo de
clared winter rules all off. An exception
Is Bala, whero "no trespass" slgn3 aro on
nil tho greens. Temporary holes havo
been laid in the approach fairways. Dc
spito the rough putting, players find somo
degrco of satisfaction In the shortening
of tho route, and tho spring drlvo of golf
ers began ln earnest thero.
At Huntingdon Valley there isn't so
much lovo for rain as at somo courses.
Tho courso Is notoriously heavy in wet
weather. A big Improvement this year la
on tho 11th hole, which in tho past always
developed a swampy tendency In rainy
weather. This year It has been mado
sloping and mound-shaped so that It will
cast off tho water Hko tho back of a duck.
Tho putting Is a little more pesky, but
that is a small matter.
Big Day at Aronimink
Twenty-flvo prizes will be placed In tho
happy hands of winners today at Aroni
mink when tho notary Club gets through
Us semiannual tourney there this after
noon. Fifty members took part ln the
tournament, and It was a Joyfest all the
way to tho end. Tho players were grouped
Into five classes, according to handicap,
and tho winners of each ten got a sliver
cup. Besides that was a miscellaneous
collection of prizes as, for Instance, a fine
prize to the golfer to turn In tho eleventh
best card; prizes for freak scores, etc
The winner of the medal play will have
his name inscribed on the "Rotary Cup."
"When won three times this cup Is to bo
tho permanent property of tho winner.
Between and after the golf, fun nnd
stunts of all kinds kopt the players ln
good humor.
Fair Sex in Action
Today Is tho setting of another round
of milady's golf In team competition for
tho Philadelphia, Suburban nnd Walllng
ford Cups. The feature match fa that
between the Huntingdon Valloy team and
Merlon. For the first time theso two
teams foUnd opposition, ln the real senso
of tho word.
Sidney Sharwood will be among the
entries at Atlantic City for tho annual
spring tourney there at tho end of the
week If he Is able to get away from
pressing business cares. If he shows the
same shots that he did at Lakewood he
will bo bad news to even such golfers as
are expected to enter from tho metropoli
tan district. In his present form Shar
wood will likely head the class of Phlla
delphlans that will make the trip, though
several of the local experts are capable
of smoothing the path for him In the
way ot ousting tho opposition.
The entry list for the tourney Is piling
up higher than ever and a fine opening
for tho golf tournament season Is pre
dicted. Five slxteens, or 80 golfers, will qual
ify, and there will bo prizes for tho de.
feated eights as well as medal play for
players out of tha tourney on the last
day.

LEONARD'S LEFT UPPERCUT THE
KEEN FIGHT ON
AMONG YOUNG
TENNIS PLACERS
Penn Charter and German
town in Interacademic
League Running
Closely
Tho Junior Interacademic Tennis
Lcaguo has dovoloped Into a keen light
for tlrst placo between i onn Charter and
Germantown Academy Thero Is very
little to chooso between tho two schools.
Pcnn Charter Is slightly tho favorite, be
ing ono match In the lead. Also, they
havo Sam Pennock and Dick Myers
playing "1" and "2." Theso two boys
are nearly suro of winning all their
Junior matches.
Tho end of the team, however, dooj not
look qulto bo strong ns Qcrmantown's.
Smith's unexpected win over Harper, of
Episcopal, last Friday, put Germantown
In tho running, and showed that Pennock
will not havo an easy tlmo winning hit
first singles Penn Charter moots Ocr
mantown on Thursday, nnd if the match
goes cither way by a largo majority tho
title Is nearly settled, although thero Is
another round still to be played.
So fnr tho new kids' lcaguo has
proved a great success Tho Indhldunl
stars aro Pennock and Jlyers, for Pcnn
Charter ; Harper, Welner and "Whitney, for
Episcopal, and Beard. Smith and N. Beck,
for Germantown. Theso eight boys ap
pear to bo tho class of the lcaguo, with
Pennock standing out nbout half a class
ahead of any of tho others There only
seems to bo one drawback to Pennock's
game, and that Is quickly being overcome.
It Is a tendency to let his temper get
away from him. and thus make him care
less. If he overcomes this thero Is no
doubt but that ho will rapidly go far up
not only In school tennis but also In the
city events.
Myers has not tho solid game that Pen
nock has, but shows possibilities of de
veloping a very good nttack. Harper, ot
Episcopal, has a well rounded game, ex
cellent knowledge of tennis tactics and
generalship, but is handicapped by his
size. Ho will, however, prove one ot our
coming stars.
Wclner Is alternately very good and
very bad. He has many ory good shots
but appears to lack control nnd Is prono
to hit too hard. Beard, of Germantow n, has
more shots than anybody ln the league.
This, coupled with his knowledge of the
game, which is quite remarkable for a
kid, should mako him very good within
a few years. However, ho Is prone to he
careless and does not pay a sufllclent
amount of attention to his game.
c.,l. la n nnt T.nll nrtlRt with n.
nasty chop stroke and remarkablo steadi
ness. Ho will make an excellent record
In school teams before ho graduates.
Whether his gamo will develop sulllclently
to stand tournament play against good
men Is somewhat of a problem His gamo
may become nnother of the steady pat
ball typo like Stanley Pearson, Wlster,
Sttayne, etc.
THREE GOLF TIES
WILL BE BROKEN
Women Players Struggle for
Lead in Team Matches
Today i
One of tha three teams now neck-and-neck
for first place ln tha women's golf
play for tha Philadelphia Cup will have
to drop back at the end of today's
matches. So far the teams of the Phila
delphia Cricket Club, Merlon and Hunting
don Valley have a perfect percentage, tha
first named having lost but one match
out of 14, Huntingdon Valley will meet
Merlon In the feature combat of the day
at Merlon. Two veterans, Mrs. Caleb P.
Fox and Mrs. Itonald II, Barlow, will like
ly meet at Merlon, both having played
No. 1 for their respective teams. A great
match will result. Mrs. Fox Is playing the
best game of her long golfing career and
is In fine fettle to give Mrs. Barlow, Phila
delphia champion, fresh from triumph In
the South, a tough match. Mrs. G, H,
Stetson w(ll likely meet Miss Anita Phlpps,
and so on down the line, the matches are
sure to be ding-pong affairs.
The Philadelphia Cricket Club will meet
plenty of opposition with the Phllmont
Club at St. Martin's, but should pull
through. Tho Phllmont Club has only
won 4 out of 14 matches tp date. St.
David's, which team has not yet won a
single match, has had a shake-up on Its
team and will go out In earnest against
the team from Ovej-brook, which has only
won two matches to date.
For tha Suburban Cup, Woodsbury and
Merchantvllle are tied for first place and
both play teams today, Moorestown and
Bala, that have not won any matches aa
yet so that tha lead should not change.
The ame condition holds trua foj the;
play fpr tha WalUngford oup, when tha
leaders. North Hills and TVhltemarsh meet
the tallenders, Philadelphia. Country Club,
and Axonlmlnls.

Le
mileage
No, Sir; mileage is not altogether a question of gas. Oil's
gotta lot to do with it, you bet. Do you know that, in
actual tests, cars have been known to yield as much as
five additional miles per gallon of gas when the right
lubricant was used? 'Sfact.
You oughta be cettinff that extra mileage,
especially since it doesn't cost extra. There's
one safe, sure way of taking figures off your
gas and oil bill and putting them on your
speedometer where they belong.
Use tho combination Atlantic Gas for fuel:
Atlantic Motor Oils for lubrication. You can't
beat them anywhere.

Uressler went completely to plccei. His
control was so poor that ho seldom fin
ished a game, and ho gradually lost con
ndcnro In himself until ho was In such a
condition that ho looked like tho worst
pitcher In the leaguo Instead of tho beat,
as predicted.
Manager Mack and Ira Thomas spent
a great deal of tlmo on Dressier In tho
training camp, nnd after ho recovered
from nn Injury received In practlco rap
idly rounded Into form. He pitched splen
did ball against Washington last week
nnd showed all of his old-tlmo 'stuff"
Mack says ho will convlnco tho fans to
day that ho hns como back for good.
Manager Donovan, of tho Yankees, said
this morning that ho would not select hla
pitcher until a few mlnutc3 beforo tho
game, but Indications point to "Slim"
Caldwoll of Cliff Marltle, tho sensational
recruit from Texas. Tho latter held tho
Mackmen to three hits 10 days ago and
blanked tho Hcd Sox with four safeties
In the recent series
Mnrkle Is one of tho smallest pitchers In
any major lcaguo ranks and he has been
up before. Charley Hcrzog had him at
tho Shrcvoport training camp last spring,
but turned him over to Waco because ot
his size, despite his wonderful record with
Norfolk In 1311.
It also Is posslblo that Donovan may
send one of his other recruits to tho
mound after Allen Itussell's splendid
showing yesterday. Itusscll was beaten
and tho Mackmen wcro clearly entitled
to the verdict, but It was not tho young
slor's fault that two of the four runs were
tallied.
Maisel Aided Mncka
Fritz Mahel's attempt to play centre
field, which wo are given to understand
ho Is llndlng much harder than playing
third, nided tho Mnckmon greatly. Malsel
misjudged a hlghlly from Ilube Oldrlng
In tho first Inning, with two men out, one
run In nnd nobody on baso. This paved
tho way for two tallies.
These tallies would not havo been
scored, howcxer, If It had not been for

rewed up In ono Inning. Witt opened tha
game for tho Mackmen with Ills first local
hit of tho, Benson, a line slnglo to centre.
When Charley Pick chopped a bounder
down the third base line, Witt never
stopped running. Ho easily beat Plpp'a
throw to third, whlla Pick was safe at
fine. Strunk then hit Into a doubla play,
but Witt scored.
Malsel then obliged with his mlfljudg
ment of Oldrlng's high fly, the Ilube get
ting a single. Pecklnpaugh helped tha
Mackmen along by booting Lajole'a
grounder nnd then tho best bit of Inslda
baseball shown by the Athletics In two
yenrs was pulled.
Lajoic Stealing!
Oldrlng nnd Lajolo Btnrted a doubla
steal, but tho pitch to Mclnnln was so
good that "Stuffy" decided to "hit With"
tho runners. He slammed tho ball Into
left, Oldrlng scoring, whllo Larry pulled
up nt third Tho fans nnd tho Yankees
wero then ghen a shock. On the first
ball pitched to Thompson Mclnnls and
Larry pulled tho double steal, tho veteran
bentlng Gedeon's return to the pinto, whlla
Mclnnls ,aa safe nt second, Mclnnls
pulled another BUrprlso by stealing third
cleanly, but ho got no farther,
With Joe Hush pitching grand ball
theso tallies proved enough to win, al
though the Yankees had him In troubla
In tho second Inning Two runs wero
tallied by Donoxnn's team In this Inning
nnd they had tho bases loaded with nobody
out, but Hush, aided by Catcher Bill
Meyer, pulled out of tho holo. A light
ning doublo play, Push to Meyer to Ma
Innls, cleared tho bapcs and tho Yankees
never had another chance to score,
Both New York runs wcro due to poor
support. A fumble by Witt nnd Thomp
son's mlsjtidgtncnt of Plpp's tcrrlflo drive
stnrted tho trouble. Thereafter tho field
ing of tho Mnckmcn was clean cut and
fast, and they really looked llko tho hotter
team with Hush hurling splendid ball.
Second Victory
It nas Hush's second victory of tha
Benson, ngalnst thrco defeats, two of
which would have boon victories with an
oven break of luck. Joe declares that ho
will win 20 games this season, regardless
of whero tho team finishes. There nro
thousands of fans who believe this ts out
of tho question, but our advice Is not to
wager any money that Push falls to turn
tho trick. Wo havo seldom seen a pitcher
in better shapo at this tlmo of tho year
and, barring accident, ha will get bettor
