HKVE.H-T ■ , J r "X NEW qowN r* W-fOU HWE 10 PLAN RESERVOIR TENNIS TOURNAMENT House Committee of Reservoir Club to Meet Soon to Plan Annual City Matches Within a week or ten days the house committee of the Reservoir Tennis Club will meet to consider plans for the annual city championship tourna ment to be played this summer on the park courts. Heretofore the tournament has al ways been arranged by a special com mittee appointed for the purpose, but in announcing the house committee to take charge of the new clubhouse and the courts this year Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, superintendent of parks, suggested that the house com mittee arrange the tournament. The committee will likely meet Friday of next week. That the tournament for 1915 prom ises to exceed all previous matches in so far as numbers of entries at least are concerned is indicated by the unusually large crowds of players that daily frequent the courts. This Is par ticularly true of the fairer element, as the number of girl player* this year thus far is nearly double that of pre vious years. While the city tournament will likely not be started before the middle of July, several of the minor tennis matches have been finished, including the triangular meet between the Tech nical and Central high schools and the Academy. Some of the high school interclass matches have already been decided and a few of the church and minor athletic, organizations have also used the Reservoir courts for this purpose. Until the players who usually figure prominenty in the city matches return from college for their summer vaca tions, the championship possibilities can't be figured on very definitely yet. but within another week or two the courts will be crowded with prospect ive tournament honor seekers.

Ty Cobb Not Worried by Johnson's Threats Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia. June 15.—The latest threat by Ban Johnson, autocrat of the American League, that he will drive Tyrus Raymond Cobb from baseball If he learns definitely that Ty Is the author of a story appearing over his signature to the effect that the White Sox have a signal-stealing device at Comlskey Park. In Chicago, is not alarming the Georgia Peach so you could notice It. The great outfielder said yesterday he was surprised to hear that Johnson had made any such threats before be ing sure of his ground. "1 never said or wrote that the White Sox are stealing signals." said Tyrus Raymond. "T.ots of players have told me that such is the case, but T would not make such charges unless T saw for myself that this is being done, and I have not seen It. It seems to me that Johnson ought to make sure he Is in the right before he threatens to d/lve nie out of baseball." Johnson threatened before to expel Cobb from the great national paatime, but Cobb is still there batting them out at a <4OO clip and causing pitchers and catchers many anxious moments by his activities on the base paths.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SHOOT West Fairview Shot Tells of Bene fits From Trap and Field Gunning Mrs, Ray Boyer, of West Fairview, is organizing a woman's shooting as sociation and has more than ten women on her list already. In speak ing of why women should learn to shoot Mrs. Boyer said to-day: "There are many reasons why ladles should go in for both trap and field shooting. After thirty-one years of nearly continuous shooting I can truth fully say 1 know of no other recreation that will do so much toward keeping a woman in good health and periect figure than a few hours spent occa sionally at trap shoting, and as 1 am learning new stunts nearly every week I am quite sure that, providing a woman nas fairly good health and eye sight, she is never too old to learn. "iuither shooting clay targets or game in tbe field, tnere is just enough exercise to do good, not to say any thing about the fresh air you breathe. "Many ladies are afraid to start shooting on account of the gun kick ing. If the gun is heavy enough, not overloaded and tits you properly, you will find little if any recoil. 1 would, however, suggest using a rubber recoil pad, titted to the end of the stock. 1 heard a gentleman say a short time since that he was going to buy his wife a twenty-bore and start her at the traps. He wouldn't think of using such a light gun himself and he couldn't have given her a worse handi eap to begin with, for while a twenty bore is a pleasure to use on game in the field, a twelve-gauge, full choke (not less than 7hi pounds) is what is needed for trap shooting. "As to dress, something loose so that your every movement will be free; your shoes should have a low, flat heel, so as not to throw you forward. The hat should be wide enough to shade the eyes and fit snugly, but comfort ably, on the head. All your clothing while at the trap should feel part of yourself. "When you are going after a target, concentration means everything." Many Stars Are Absent in Tennis Tournament Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, June 15.
