THBrtB was "nobody home" for One
Punch Hogan in New Orleans bantam
ranks not meaning a lack of gray mat
ter, but no opponents to meet and, as
Kid Williams and Johnny Ertlo turned
down offers for 20-round decision engage
ments there, tho O. 1, person Invaded
the Fast for tho purposo of seeking scalps
and Bhocklcs. Philadelphia Is the ban
tam's first Btopplng place, and ho says
he will remain hero until ho knocks off
nit local bantams, or convinces the public
that ho Is ono who Bhould bo recognized
ln tho scramblo for Williams' llC-pound
laurels, now that tho Kid has outgrown
that division.
Opponent No. 1 for young Mr. Itogan
In this city will bo Andy Burns. Tho
National Athletic Club ring tomorrow
night wilt bo tho scene of Ono Punch's
first test In this part of tho country,
and, to Uso tho words of not Hogan
himself, but thoso of his manager, Pete
Porrctte, "Hogan's pioneer bout In tho
East will go down ln history, 'May 13
Andy Burns, IC O., Philadelphia.' "
Not a Picker
Hognn will meet the be9t of tho Phila
delphia crop, Beny Kaufman, Lew Tendlcr
or nnyono tho promoters may solect, ac
cording to Malinger Porrette. "I'm not
a matchmaker," ho says, "and unless I
knew Hogan was shy of tho goods, I
would plpk 'cm, Ho'n thero, I have no
doubt about that. So why should I do
tho work a matchmaker gets paid for?
Hogan Is after Williams' title and ho'll
get It, too. If the Kid had ncceptcd liberal
terms offered him by tho Now Orleans
promoter, Tortorlch, Ono Punch Hogan
would bo the dictator today."
According td Porrette, hero's tho dope
on tho Hogan-Wllllams nnd Hogan-Ertlo
bouts which did NOT come off:
D. J. Tortorlch flist wanted to stage a
20-round mix between Williams and Ono
Punch. Terms and everything clso con
corning tho match were satisfactory.
BUT then the hitch camo. Tho Kid
Insisted on 118 pounds at 0 o'clock on tho
day of the fight. A match at that weight
would not make It a bantnm bout, thus
negotiations ceased.
As Ertlo was being recognized by somo
critics ns tho bantam champion by reason
of his foul victory over Williams, whllo
others believed him tho legltlmato con
tender for tho championship, Tortorlch
then got In touch with tho Kewplo for a
20-round go. This tlmo the weight ques
tion proved no obstacle, but when It camo,
speaking (lnanclally, Mr. Ertle wouldn't
think of spoiling Hogan's features unless
ho was paid $5500 for doing so. Tor
torlch decided that such a purso -was en
tirely out of tho question, and this match
was nlso a dead Issue.
Had to Eat
With Williams and Ertlo remaining
awny from New Orleans, and no other
opponents ln sight, Porrette says Hogan
had to have his threo squares and price
for "the hay," so ho decided to pack up
and hlo Eastward. As Philadelphia Is
reputed to have more good bantams than
nny other fistic ccntro In tho country, Mr.
Porretto hold a consultation with himself
and voted unanimously that the Quaker
City first must bo ollmlnnted from the
bantam world.
Young Hogan. or rather Ono Punch,
which was prefixed to 1iIh moniker by
Now Orleans newspaper men, because It
took him only a solitary wallop to stow
away his first eight Opponents, has had
about 00 bouts, he says, most of them
ending boforo tho scheduled tlmo. Among
his IC O. victims Is Mickey Brown, one
of our own youngsters, who railroaded all
tho way to New Orleans to tnko a nap In
tho fourth round pf a fray with Hogan.
Hogan says ho can punch with tho
voloclty of a 42 contermotro, nnd can
fight at Just ns fast a paco. Manager
I'errotto admits all this. If young One
Punch Hogan can prove what ho says
about himself tomorrow night ho can
expect Bomo good matches here, with such
boys as Benny Kaufman, Low Tendlcr,
Gusslo Lowls, Barney Hahn, Young Mc
Govern, Joe Luber, Joe O'Donnell and
Young Dlggins hanging around to bo used
as experiments.

The one-day Invitation tournament of
tho Overbrook Golf Club for tho Clarence
II. Gelst Cup has 92 entries for the con

Virtually every club In the Women's
Golf Association of Philadelphia Is rep
resented In the list, and all the well
known local players, with the exception
of Mrs. Clarence II. Vanderbeck. who has
not recovered sufficiently from her recent
Illness to play, will compote.
Mrs Ronald H. Barloi., women's United
North and South champion and folder
of the Philadelphia championship, won
tho trophy In 1914 and 1915 and another

Discriminated Against by

OFFICERS RE-ELECTED
One cannot question either the inde
pendence of thought or tho progressive
policy of tho Philadelphia and District
Lawn Tennis Association hfter consider
ing the action taken yesterday nt tho
annual meeting on the question of grant
ing qualified titles,
For somo tlmo pnst tho V. 8. N. It. T. A.
has seomlngly discriminated against
Philadelphia and tho surrounding districts
In awarding sectional or clay court titles.
Other sectloni of Pennsylvania have Bee
tlonal titles. Last season tho Northeast
ern Pennsylvania championship was held
at Scranton, the Southern Pennsylvania
nt Bedford Springs, tho Western Pennsyl
vania nt Altoona nnd tho Northwestern
Pennsylvania at Now Castlo. This season
Cynwyd nsked tho national association
for tho Kastern Pennsylvania tltlo, to
which tho reply was that tho association
folt that sectional titles took away from
tho valuo of State titles, and that they
were not granting them.
This certainly appears like discrimina
tion ngalnst this section, for If there nro
tho four sectlonnl Pennsylvania titles, why
should not thero be tho Kastcrn cham
pionship? Every one knows that they aro
subordinate to tho Stato title, and tho
nrgument that tho sectional tltlo affects
the Stato title Is puerllo and foolish.
Itenlizlng this, nnd realizing also that
thero Is a tendency to slight tho Phila
delphia district, tho Philadelphia and Dis
trict Lawn Tennis Association yestorday
placed Itself on record as opposing the
restriction policy ns regards sectional
titles, clay court titles nnd Junior Stato
titles of tho U. S. N. L. T. A., and Presi
dent Gibbons appointed William P. How
land, of Boineld Club, and William T.
Tlldcn, 2d, of Cynwyd, a committee to
draw up n resolution selling iurui mcou
views of tho Philadelphia, and District
Association.
This resolution will bo forwarded to
George Adoo, tho president of the U. S.
N. L. T. A.
Thero can bo little question that Mr.
Adeo will sco tho justice and wisdom
of mnny of tho points set forth In tho
resolution, for thero Is no more ardent
supporter of tennis progress than Mr.
Adee
Tho annual election was also hold, tho
following olllcers being chosen for the en
suing yenr: President, Pnul W. Gibbons,
Cynwyd; vice prcsldont, AV. P. Rowland,
Uolllciu; secretary, w. i. miiuch, -u, u

Mnrtln, Cynwyd: Hosmer W. Hanna,
Stenton; Warren L. Irish, Plymouth; Jo
seph H. Jennings, Philadelphia Cricket
Club, and Percy S. Osborne, Point Pleas

Ono placo on tho committee was left
open, and it Is tho deslro of tho members
to obtain a representative of the Inter
club Loaguo to fill the vacancy.

NEVy YOItK. May 12. Tho New York Base
ball Club has started a crusndo against the
gamblers who nttond tho games nt the Polo
Grounds. Sixteen men. who have been laylnff

tho Brush Stadium, were denied admission to
the ciime between the Yankees and Whits Sox

BACK-HAND STROKE SHOULD
BE OFFENSIVE COURT WEAPON
By WILLIAM
WHAT should tho backhand be, offen
sive or defensive? The answer Is
both. It must be dcfenslvo and should
nlso be offensive.
Mnko your backhand first defensive
from tho point of security and stendlness;
do not miss often off It until you begin
Using it to win points with. Then you
will miss, since any point-winning shot Is
suro to go wrong at times. Any shot, to
count for anything, you must wlrt mora
than 60 per cent, of the times played.
That Is absolutely necessary.
Now the technique of the backhand
ground Is made) up of threo things:
(1) Footwork. (2) Weight control. (3)
nncquct swing, of course, keep your eyes
on the ball; that Is fundamental.
To hit straight oft tho backhand, tho
feet should be parallel to the side lino,
the toes making a right nngle with It; tho
weight should bo on tho left (or back)
foot and swing over to the right (or front)
foot nt moment of meeting the ball. The
racquet should meet tho ball with a flat
face and tho "top" spin bo put on by the
racquet traveling over tho ball, not under
It, ns In a chop stroke Tho racquet
should make atmoBt a right nngle with
the arm, but the question of whether tho
hand should bo shifted on the handle Is
ono purely of personal comfort. As n
rule, tho hand is shitted slightly; but If
this Is done, get a firm grip of tho rac
quet before making tho stroke. The great
essential In racquet Work f6r all tennis
shots Is to hold the racquet tightly and
Jilt firmly. Do not Blacken Uio pace of
your sliot,
Tho general lino of thq racquet on the
bnckhand drive Is as follows:
First. When tho ball la below level of
