PLAY OF AUSTRALIANS
WARNING TO AMERICAN
DAVIS CUP DEFENDERS
Victory of Anzacs Over Spain Sheivs Antipedeans Are
Well Fortified for Challenge Round Alonse
and De Gemar Will Stay for Nationals
' A WAHNlNii, serious ntul severe, uns sounded en the courts of the Ocr
. mnntenti Cricket Club Inst week. Australia 1 heavily nrmil for an
attack en American teniil-.
The Anzacs enrurrt the right te challenge the I'nlted States defenders of
the Dai Cup by clltnliiatltiR tlie Spaniards In the flnnl round "tie" by four
.matches te one nnd en September 1 the representative teams of the tvse nations
'Will clash at Ferest Hills in the firfrt of a three-day series.
' Pat O'Hnra-Wned uis pressed te the limit in both of his matches nt
jManhclm, but in his two singles (ierald L. Patterson was well within his
imc, If Weed reaches the heights he attained in the cnrl sets of his sen sen
'satlennl struggle against Manuel Alone and If I'attetsen dKp!ns the tennis
fhe showed in (lashes en Snturdn, tlie Americans will net hne the cinch It was
generally believed they would.
There Is danger of ever-confidence en the part of the I'nlted States
quartet. Hither Tilden or Johnsten is figured te be better than Patter
son and past records show thej are for the Anznc nee has previously fnllen
before the drives of both big and little Hill.
But the bread-shouldered Australian must be respected. IUh serve, his
drives, his net attack, his entire game overhead is a shade short of super
human nnd his ground strokes are geed n Manuel Alonse will testify.
Weed is net as severe, but he possesses stamina and courage te a re
Bnrkable degree, plays the net splendidly and is a court general of the highest
class. He, tee, must be considered seriously.
f ADDITION, the Australians mil have James O. Andersen, vhose
forehand teas one of the features of our national here last year.
The Anzacs are strong, stronger than they icere at Manhcim.
Must Keep Patterson in Back Court
PATTERSON'S game is far from unbeatable nnd during the mntches here
Tilden was net idling his time away In the clubhouse. He was seated
ta the stand directly In back of the plnjlng court and he has the style of the
Australian photographed In his mind.
When the big Ansae gets, his racquet en the ball at the net. the point is
kls. There can be no disputing that. He kills with such vlcleusncss .md
Maces overhead ,wlth such accuracy that returns are virtually impossible.
Els ground game was geed against the Latins, but it probably would net
hew te such an advantage against a swifter delivery than that displayed
by Spain.
Te deliver a geed ground stroke, Patterson must be set. If Tilden nnd
Johnsten slam speedily nt the feet of the Australian and keep him in the
back court, his weakness will stand out prominently.
HOWEVER, it irill tale keen gcnerahhin te held Patterson te the
MM baseline and it tcill take great accuracy in placing te force him te
use ground strokes.
Tennis Act Shifts te Bosten
frUIE tennis net this week shifted te the I.ongweod Cricket Club, outside of
X Bosten, where the national doubles championship started today. The
tournament will be watched with interest because of the international aspect
attached.
Tilden and Richards will make their drive te retain the championship
Which they wen last year and upon the class of their play will the decision
be made as te whether they will represent America In the doubles of the Davis
Oup challenge round.
Richards is plajing hrlllinnt tennis. He is right en top of his game,
but Tilden is out of practice, and a bit off form as his exhibition nt Mnnhelm
last week proved. Hlg Bill hnb been taking things easy for the last few
Weeks saving his strength for the campaign which starts this week and does
net end until the nationals here nest month.
WAST year William and Washburn ieere finalists and they icere
- favorites te reach the last teund this season until their defeat
en Saturday at the hands of the Kinscy brothers.
Heat Cost De Gemar Victory
THE gallery nt Manhelm en Saturday was treated te a rare exhibition when
Weed defeated de Oemar in five net', li-S, 3.(5, (j-0, 0-4, 0-2. The
Spaniard had the match well in hnml. with victories in the first two sets,
but his magnificent effort exhausted him and the heat did the rest.
At the end of the second set, tvhh h v. is virtually decided by the remark
able bark-hand stroke of the Latin, de Cieinar tired netlreablj. Weed even
when the Count was nt his height, saw the possibility of a wav out through
running Ms rivnl ragged. He planned his nrtark along these' lines and he
Chased de Gemar all along the base line alter his cress-court shots
When Weed obtained the lend In the third set, the Htirepean deliberately
threw die set. expending as little energj as pes.ible. He was depending en
th rest te revive Mm. After the Intermission uV Oemar showed some of Ids
earlier speed, but it seen died down nnd his endurance gave out nltheush
be fought gamely te the lust point. '
PATTERSON'S severe icrrice and deadly kills smothered Alonse in
straight sets. Manuel, always at his best iehen in a crisis had
httle te fight for after de Comar' s defeat and his nervous enernu teas
net aroused. "
Spanish Players Made Big Hit Here
mUE Spanish plajers lest their series here, but thej- wen n host of admirers
JL All during the matches it was plain that the gallery was with them'
Manuel Alonse, in particular, made nn indelible Impression en tennis fans in
tela city and he always will he welcomed here. The playing of Count de
Oemar also was pleasing and the sportsmanship of both was of the hlKhent
tanuard. e-.
It was their Intention when they first arrived in this country te return
ta Spain at once If they were eliminated from the Davis Cup, but they are se
tLT , merl" unml Americans that they new plan te remain for the
national singles which start nt Germnntewn en September 8.
TUIAXUEL AI.OSSO and An brother. Jese, are civil engineers and

WOOD showed signs of pain in his
right shoulder nnd his shots lacked
their customary stlne, but his clever
generalship had De Oemar running all

Spaniard Flares
Weed took the first game of the sec
ond set en his own service. Then De
Gemar flashed a most remarkable series
of winning shots, taking twelve con
secutive points and the lead, at al.
He was never hended te the end of the
set, which he wen. 0-0. but Weed,
by cleverly placing tfce ball te the cor
ners, forced the Spaniard te run miles
before he eeuli put in his winning shot.
The heat was taking its tell from
De Oemar. who was very weary at
the cleee of the eecend set.
Weed opened the third set with a
rush, and once the tired Spanish star
saw the Australian was bent en running
him he threw the pet. Weed wa.s Im
proving with every shot and ran out the
set, 0-0, facing little or no opposition
in the closing games.
The rest benefited Weed mere than
De Oemar, who returned te the court a
very wearied man. Weed, realizing1 the
impertance of a quick start, ran De
Gemar off his feet and took the com
manding lead offi-2en his own service.
De fiemar gamely braced and in his
lest effort took two games by splendid
driving, but Weed was net te be denied

Douglas? Yelp
Eastern Cage League
Helen Wills Defeat
By
THE OBSERVER
Wtl
T a. velD came from Shufflln: Phil Douglas when he .wag exoe., . .
what pitiable story he told. '1
The big Southerner says McOrew gsve him a "dirty deal" and he ela-.
all the blame en his former boss.
He had been out en a "bat" and was forcibly taken te a sanatorium V
he could rccupernte from bootlegger's poison.
When the convalescent stage wes ever, he was called Inte the office of tb
New Yerk club and placed en the carpet by McOrnw.
Douglas said that McGraw called him some "vile names," suspended him i6i
fined him, all of which probably Is true. But what kind of a reception jm
Douglas expect?
He could scarcely hope thnt McGraw would receive him with open ami
and put en n dinner party In honor of his return.
In the meantime, he had written a letter which led te his ruin. He njl )t
was penned when he believed he hnd been fired by the Giants. If this were twit,
his thought then the sin of the epistle wes doublefeld. He was net only it
tempting te put something ever en McQraw, but en Leslie Mann and tit
Cardinals as well.
Apparently, he was trying te sell himself and the Giants when he bellertd
he was no longer connected with New Yerk.
The wayward hurler will net be satisfied until he "proves" he has bitw
done anything croekedbut his various tete-a-tctcs with Jehn Barleycorn ire b
part of the straight and narrow. w
Douglas Is te be pitied only as the weak-willed are te be pitied. HU m
actions, net McGraw's, have shuffled him out of baseball.
CAN these be our A's who are knocking off first division clubs te
censlstentlyf Fire out of Uie last six Is a record worthy of
champions.
Philadelphia Real Heme of Basketball
EASTERN LEAGUE officials meet tonight te discuss basketball for ntx!
season. The circuit Is somewhat shattered, but It may be for the best
interests of the league that such is the condition.
The organization has weathered many a storm? and slim season. Ust
year was one of them and the Philadelphia clubs dropped Inte financial failm
and out of the league.
Philadelphia is the real home of basketball. With the right kind of fata.
agement and community rivalry, the sport will prosper. It has in the partial
It will In the future.
If the Eastern League Is te survive two things must be done. The drctli
must be made compact, thus eliminating ns far as possible heavy railroad tm,
and the snlnries of the players must be sliced.
At present Philadelphia does net have a team in the league, and Reidint
Trenten, Cnmdcn and Ceatcsvllle are the only members. '
There ere numerous first-class players In this city, and clubs In Kcnitnitta
and Seuth Philadelphia are virtitnlly sure of geed support.
In the days of Jasper, Grcysteck and DeNerl, each club bad a follewiu
from different sections of the city nnd thus strong community Interest ltd
rivalry kept the fires of support burning in the box office.
The same thing enn be done this year. Philadelphia needs the Eastern
League as much as the Eastern League needs Philadelphia and basketball ntedi
both.
THE defeat of Dick Williams and Watsen Washburn by the Kins
brothers vindicated the Judgment of the Davis Cup Committee,
The veterans have outlived their usefulness In doubles for International
competition.
A Werd Concerning Miss Helen Wills
HELEN WILLS, the sixteen-year-old Coast marvel, lest and wen en tb
courts of the West Side Tennis Club when she bowed te the whizzing drhn
nnd generalship of Mrs. Molln Mallery.
Miss Wills lest the singles championship, or rather she failed te win tb
crown, but she wen for herself tennis prestige all ever the world.
Here, they say. Is the ultimate successor te the woman who came te tilt
cenntry from Norway te become queen of American courts. The Coast girl li
the only player in sight today who stands a chance of improving and thus rslM
her game above Mrs. Mnllery.
It was net tennis supremacy pe much thnt beat Miss Wills as It vu
strength. Mrs. Mnllery Is a musculnr woman with the stamina of a man. Mln
Wills is n slip of n girl, clever and fleet of feet.
It wns a moral victory for the Western girl te reach the final of the nation!
singles. Next yenr she will be better able te cope with the speedy strokes of the
present titieneiacr.
SOME of these days we hope seme one will swim the English Channel
and have It ever with. It seems they are always trying and falUef.
