Lenglen to Defend Net Singles Title — Saints Lose Ground in A. A. Race

MATCH WITH MISS WILLS PROBABLY WILL BE HELD Suzanne Announces She 1$ at Wimbledon for Action—’French Girl Says Yankee Is Slow-Footed, k By HENRY L. FARRELL / \ \YOIBLEDON, June 18.—“I'will defend my title in singles play at "Wimbledon, ” Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, wqman champion tennis player of the world, declared today upon her arrival here to watch the American and British women in action in the Wightman cup match.

Thus the long anticipated match between Mile. Lenglen and Helen Wills appears likely. As for the little American girl, the brisk Suzanne had this to say: "Helen Wills? Why, yes, I hear she is a lovely girl. A little slowfooted, of course, but with a few good strokes.” Courts Fast The weather today was cool and cloudy for the Wightman cup contests. "The courts are the fastest I ever saw,” Mrs. Wightman. captain of the American team, said before the matches. Miss Wills was honored by being assigned to play in the first match against Miss Coveil. Molla Mallory was to play Miss McKane while Miss Goss and Mrs. Jessup were to play Mrs. Coveil and Miss Barron in the doubles. Helen Unsteady Miss Wills was defeated in the first set of her match with Miss Coveil, 6-2. Miss Coveil also won the second set, 6-4. Miss Wills started her match unsteadily, shooting over two double faults on her first service. The American girl's dashing back court game was off and her judgment was very poor. After serving the first two double faults, Helen apparently lost faith in her service and her speed was diminished to a great extent. Miss Coveil took advantage of the American champion’s off form and played a cool, steady match. REYNOLDS LOSES INII SCRAP Matsuda Tosses Jack Two Falls at Broadway, Matty Matsuda, Jap wrestling star, defeated Jack Reynolds Tuesday night, two falls out of three, in a match at the .Broadway Theater. It was the Jap's second victory over the I. U. wrestling coach in recent weeks. The bout was witnessed by a,large croWQ. Matsuda won the first fall with a headlock and body scissors in twentyone minutes, eight seconds. Reynolds took the second fall with a bar armlock in twenty-ore minutes, twenty-six seconds. Howard Wiggam referred. The third and victory fall was gained by Matsuda in thirty-three minutes. Reynolds claimed a foul, but the referee ruled the fall legal. In the semi-wind-up ti. K. Mullendore defeated Bert Kerr in straight falls. In the prelims George Myers downed Ed Marsh and John Bartee defeated Harry Rose.

Crowd Plate Against Curve Pitchers, Stand Back Against Fast Ones

By ROGERS’WLORNSBY, Champion Batsman National League. A’TBILITY to hit is a gift of na' ture. A majority of the leading batsmen in the history of the game have been nat ural hitters. Few players become great hitters with a made over style. By that I mean an entire change of position at the plate from the one that was natural for the player to assume. "" . Ofteh batters have profited greatly by remedying a certain fault in their style. Such batters, however, are rarely classed as great in the art of hitting.

Feature Games of the Past

• Washington’s Great Spurt In the spring of 1912 Washington made a triumphant march through the West, winning every game played in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland. By 'winning the last game int the East, before going West and the first in the East after returning from the West, the Senators ran their string to seventeen straight, the second longest winning streak in the history of the American Legue. The White Sox picked off nineteen straight in 1906. Cleveland fought hard to take the final Western game from the Senators on Jure 15, 1912, but what proved to be Washington’s clean-up also proved to be Cleveland’s seventh straight defeat.

Ty Cobb bats just the same today as when he broke into the American League. Hans Wagner never tried to polish his rather awkward style. Both Cobb and Wagner must be listed as natural batsmen of great ability. The selection of a bat that suits your grip and is properly weighted is as necessary to good hitting as the natural swing, nature's gift. Get a bat that you can grip easily and swing without any great effort. Too many batters make the mistake of using too heavy a bat in the hope that the added

DYER WINS OVER DALTON AT FORT BY CLEAR MARGIN Youth Is Served in Main Go —Young Dillon Wins Tame Semi-Windup, Eddie Dyer, Terre Haute battler, stepped out in the main go of ten rounds in the Ft. Harrison boxing card Tuesday night and won a referee's decision from Jimmy Dalton. It was Dyer's fight by a wide margin. The youngster outslugged, outrushed and out-smarted his older and more experienced opponent. Dyer showed a remarkable improvement in his figHting. He took four rounds, Dalton one and the remaining rounds were even. Young Jack Dillon of Louisville, was too much for Cal Stevens of Cincinnati, and earned the referee's decision in a tame eight-rouhd semiwindup. Dillon piled up a big advantage on points in the early rounds, hitting Stevens at will. Mahcney-Kanp Len Mahoney of Baltimore and Jack Kane of Chicago fought eight rounds to a draw decision by the referee. Mahoney had Kane out' on his feet, hut lacked the punch to put him down. Mahoney was away out in front on points and the draw decision displeased the crowd. The usual foxy, snappy fighting of Willie Sullivan was all mussed up, again Lou Gottfried of Louisville. Just a kid. Gottfried whipped Suliivan soundly and got a well earned referee’s decision. Beef That’s All The excellent card was opened with a cisplay of beef, and little else. Jack Morgari scored a technical knockout over Stafford, socalled "battling.” ih the third round, when Staffer 1 quit. The continual tatking of the referee to the fighters during the evening urging them to greater efforts seemed out of place. Such tactics make somers the young fighters nervous—and it is surely not exactly according to the ethics of the ring. WASHINGTON CREW WINS Eastern Oarsmen Outclassed by Athletes Front Northwest.

taking a wild swing at every tfitch. Make the pitcher get them over. Try to get him into a hole and when you do, never fail to pick on the "cripple.” That is one of the things that makes a great hitter, getting a working margin or, the pitcher and taking advantage of it. Do not neglect your batting practice and do not go about it in a careless fashion. Have an objective at the bat, try to place your drives It helps the eye Maid the swing, develops coordination. In batting practice I make it a point, to try to meet the ball so

that it goes directly back at the pitcher. I always have figured that driving the ball directly through the box over second base, called for perfect timing from every angle of batting There are various types of pitchers. It is up to the batsman to study the style that* is before him in each game. With a fust ball pitcher working I stand considerably farther away from the plate than with a curve ball twirler.

form largely hinges around the front foot Move in with it, never pull away. Develop absolute confidence in your ability. Make It .a point to regard all pitchers ’in the same light. Don’t get the hahit of forming a dislike to bat against certain twirlers. When you step to the plate, feel that the pitcher is worrying about your hitting the ball far more than you are thinking about the possibility of your not getting It safg. Such a mental attitude is a distinct advantage to the batsman.

LEAGUE LEADERS BEATEN SIX OUT OF LAST EIGHT 1 ! Colonels and Indians Within Easy Distance of Top— Brewers Open Series Here—Tribe Divides Twin Bill, By EDDIE ASH The struggle for the top perch in the A. A. is becoming a “hoss” rape. The leading Saints ha* T e lost six out of the last eight games and the Colonels and are now in position to rush to the front most any day. Nick Allen’s outfit found Indianapolis and Louisville tough customers and it probably was a relief to the Northmen to get over in Columbus.

The Milwaukee Brewers hit today and prepared to do battle with the Indians at Washington Park this afternoon. The gang from Beertown is on the bottom, but it is a dangerout team because it has several hard hitters. Harry Clark’s club will be here four days. I.arge Crowd Present The Tribe broke even with the Millers in the Tuesday double-header. More than 5,000 fans saw the conflicts and the large crowd was well entertained. The Millers copped the first tilt, 6 to 4. and the Bush boys grabbed the wind-up fray, 8 to 6. It was "ladies' day" and "kids’ day.” More than 800 women and 500 children were admitted free. The visitors out-batted the home crew in both games. Byrwell hurled the opener until taken out in the ninth and Hill chucked ’em over for the Tribe in the second contest. A three-run rally in the ninth won the first conflict for the Millers, after the Indians had gained a 4 to 3 lead in the eighth. Fisher’s Neat Drive The visitors Threatened to damage Tribe hopes ,in the ninth of the -second game, hut fell short of tying by two runs. Fisher hit a line drive over the high right field fence with one mate aboard. It was a terrific clot t. Fisher tripled in the ninth of the first game, the ball riding to the flag pole.
