POTTER AND SCOTT WIN
COURT TENNIS MATCHES
Victorious in Fa.3t JIatches at
Racquet Club Oyer Andrews
and Wear
Edgar Scott and Wilson Potter won their
matches In the first round of tho club sin
gles court tennis handicap at tho Hncquet
Club today by defeating respectively Jo
seph W. Wear and SclioflelA Andrews.
The match between Potter nnd Wear, who
was In receipt of fifteen from his opponent.
was a particularly fast one nnd seldom has
Potter been seen to better advnntagc. His
serrlce and all-round play was of the steadi
est description and tho mistakes that ho did
make were very few and far between. The
first set was much the better contested of
the two. In four out of the first flvo games
douce was called, but Potter alwViys man
aged to secure tho winning point, and when
he had won the first five games, he ap
peared to havotho set well In hand. Wear,
however, got going and won five out of tho
next six, but he was unablo to keep up the
pace and Potter took the set, 8-0. Potter
played even better in the second set than
In the first, and the best Wear could do
was to win the fifth and eighth games
Scott gave Andrews fifteen In each game,
and although he overcame the handicap
fairly easily In the first set and won by
eight games to four, ho had all his work
cut out to win the se6and set With the
score two games to one In -favor of Scott,
Andrews began to Improve steadily and
deuce was called four times In the fourth
game before he lost It, Deuce was railed
tour times In the fifth gamo also, nnd this
time Andrews won. The most stubbornly
contested game of tho match followed and
tt was not until dcuco and 'vantage had
bean called seven times that Andrews
pulled through and made the score three
all. The next six games wero equally
divided, but Andrews got to within one
game of the set by winning tho thirteenth.
Soott, however, played up strongly In the
next two games and won both tho set and
match.

"Oh, slay!" the Oivner said,."and play

A tear stood in his Whaling Lamp,
Hut still he answered like a champ,

The second is tho rprlng drive that Hu

"JVatch Scenery Flit
Past, Will Step Some
By SANDY McNIBLICK
"XTTHO? Me retired? Laid off racing?
W Not on your Ufo. Some one has been
giving you the spoof-spoof."
These words popped out of Barney Old
field, veteran motor monarch and speed
demon, In n conversation on the subject
this week. Tho words wero full of fire,
like tho exhaust of somo wheeled thunder
bolt leaping out of a standing start Bar
ney's shoulders quivered with n t.nort nnd
the reckless light of old glowed In his eye.
"Three miles a minute, that's my speed.
That's what I'm nfter, nnd I'll come
a'mlghty close to It this season. Old Barney
on the shelf? Why, that's n Joke."
Tho battered pilot of many a winged
catapult, tho wrecker of records, the hero
of smash-ups, then proceeded to spring It
Barney put across his latest, and It was
the most sensational of all his sensational
race Ideas.
To be Boad Babbit
"It'll bo a road rabbit that II never touch
tha ground. It'll burn up the speedwnjs
like a flash of light, exclaimed Barney, full
of enthusiasm for tho new machine, for
which he could scarco find the adjectives.
"It'll bo a. Bplttlng spider for speed nnd 150
miles around tho clock will bo pie. It'll be
the greatest automobile racing creation ever
backed out of a stable." Barney took a
breath.
"The present speed marks havo stood
Just about long enough, and here's where
I give tho folks tho surprise of their lives,"
ho rushed on. "When they thought nothing
could beat tho old Ford 909 I Jolted them
back to earth with the Wlnton Bullet. My
Green Drngon made that boat eat mud, and
when I thought I had gotten all I could out
of that I knocked them all clean dead when
I drove right straight out of daylight In my
.100 Blltzen Benz, n-hummlng down tho
Florida beaches faster than nny human
being had ever traveled before.
"But pshaw !" continued Barney, careless
llke, "that was as nothing." He beamed
cheerfully. "Just wait. My new racer, will
make the others look like pikers.
Follow the Devil
"In It I'll follow the devil like his shadow,
for the machine can't be Binashed. It's built
like a submarine, and I'll hug the tracks by
looking through a periscope that'll stick up
Just above the streamlines of the turtle back
of the car.

"No racer yet built will be able to stay
with my new stepper. It's being built by
Harry Miller. It has a huge twin-six motor.
Harry Miller Is the fellow whom I consider
tho world's best builder cf motors, and he
Is right with me In speed Ideas."
T,he machine Is being built In Los An
geles, nnd Barney thinks It will be ready
for Its first workout In about three months.
Ho will likely try out tho Philadelphia
motor speedway, now being built above Wil
low Grove, for experts say this will be
tho fastest two-mlle track In tho country
when finished. The speedway will be opened
In October, It Is thought.
"What's tho name of your new tornado?"
was asked.
Barney's face became intense, and the
daredevil hunched his shoulders as though
gripping tho wheel In a new, wild and roar
ing rldo through space.
, "Tho name?" ho repeated between clenched
teeth. "Here's what I'll call It. She'll be

ence! no salary! rhanco for younr man to
learn same. Apply Harry Snyder. Coach
Northeast lllch School baaeball team.
Perhaps the' above notice, If printed and
circulated nmong the Northeast High
School students, will bring tho right man
to tho foro. Northeast High Is without a
pitcher. Coach Snyder explains that here
la a splendid opportunity for n "find" to
step forward and perhaps land In tho Hall
of Fame.
Tho Northeast High regulars reported
yesterday. Ilopney and Worlcy nro not
eligible, but probably will bo by April.
Captain Albert Young, Schneider, Carter,
White, Reeves and Montgomery nro vet
erans, and will form tho nucleus for this
year's nlno.
Trades Secures Grounds
Philadelphia Trades School has secured
tho Brill grounds for baseball this spring,
and the team will practice and play nil
homo games at Sixty-seventh street and
Woodlnnd nvenuo. Outdoor practice will
start tomorrow or Monday, depending upon
tho condition of the field.
"nptnln "Buck" Ilanratty a.nd Coach
Charles Schlow will have charge of the
team. In track Coach Whetstone will have
the assistance of Anthony Mnttta, of tho
basketball squad. Mattla graduates this
spring, nnd therefore will not tako up
athletics.
The relay squad will go to Franklin Field
three nfternoons every week to prcparo for
the Penn relny races. Forman, Matlack,
Shaefter, Bcllly, Cohen nnd Frlcko are the
best mlddle-dlstanco runners at tho school.
Germantown HiRh's Prospects
Germantown Hlgh'B baseball schedule Is
complete. Tho latest nnd final addition was
tho George School contest for April 18. Tho
game was arranged by Coach Philip G.
Lewis, of tho Germantown team.
Captain Harry Kldd will play center field.
Burnett js a good Inficldcr nnd nlso can be
used ns a pitcher. Longstrect will probably
do tho receiving, and Lawyer Is another
promising youngster to go behind tho plate.
"I have some very good men," sold Coach
Lewis. "Frank Median, captain of the foot
ball team, reported. Wynne, catcher, nnd
"Hobby" Sergeson, the basketball star, aro
out. Kulp and Greer, two pitchers, look
good. Buchanan, a sub pitcher, may spring
a surprise.
"Of the freshmen team of last year I have
Captain Kirn, second baseman, and Brooks,
a left-hander. The outlook ought to bo a
fair team. Our troublo last year was not
enough teamwork I want tho baseball
team to play Just llko tho basketball team,
teamwork Is the only thing. If tho men
don't show teamwork, I could take nny
nlno men In the school and can coach them
so they will do something In tho league;
nnd they won't finish last, either," said
Coach "Phil" Lewis.
I'enn Charter in Meet
Tho Penn Charter School annual gym
nastic exhibition nnd Jumping contest will
be held nt Witherspoon Hall tonight.
There nro more than 100 of the finest ath
letes of tho school In this competition.

Mouradlan nnd Hnckinan are tho only other
veterans out for tho team. No Inflelders
of previous experience nro available.
