One Upset in Title Tennis Meet —Senators and Indians Open Series

MORRIS WILLIAMS FALLS BEFORE CHICAGO PHENOM George Lott Defeats Third Ranking Player in First Round —Rain Forces Postponement, By HENRY L. FARRELL By United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, X. Y. ? Aug. 26.—Rain today caused a postponement of play in the national tennis championships at the West Side Tennis Club. All of today’s matches and those carried over from late Monday will be played Wednesday if

weather permits. The heavy rain of Monday night and this morning had several of the outside courts under water and the turf is so soft they may not be in shape to play Wednesday. Officials Disappointed Because of the unusually large number of entrants and the interest in the tournament, officials had hoped for a week without a bad weather postponement as the sport calendar next week is choked with other events. Many matches had to be called off Monday when a rain storm Came. The first round matches with one .exception followed the dope and they were hardly more than formalities. The one great surprise came how ever, when Richard Norris Williams, captain of the American Olympic tennis team and the third ranking player of the United States, was deIfeated by George Lott, Jr., an 18Chicago boy who recently won the junior national championship. Develops Rapidly Lott was unknown until late last ' season, but he has developed amaz- | ingly this year. Robert Kinsey, one of the California brothers, who has been considered with his brother for the doubles assignment on the Davis cup team, was another ranking player who went down. He was defeated by Watson Washburn, one of the \ best American internationalists. Norman Brookes, the 48-year-old Australian and Manuel Llano, the Mexican star, were the only foreign players to be eliminated. Brookes was beaten after a hard fight by Hugh Kelleher, the young New Yorker. Llano fell before Vincent Richards.

COMPLETE CARO READY AT FORT FOR WEDNESDAY Thirty-Six Rounds of Boxing —Colored Scrappers in Preliminary Bout. What appears to he one of th£ best boxing shows of the out-door season for local fans wjll be offered at Ft. Benjamin Harrison Wednesday night. Thirty-six rounds of boxing are on the program including two ten-round headliners, two sixround preliminaries, and a fourround opener. The complete card was announced today. An innovation at the fort will be tried when two colored boxers will go six rounds. Fast Black of this city will meet his old enemy, Indian Horner ®f Marion, Ind. There is no love lost |£t\veen this pair and something interesting should happen. Horner will harve a ■weight advantage. In the other six rounder Young Forbes of Chicago, a 126-pound scrapper, will tangle with Tommy Ryan of Marion. Ryan recently gave Jimmy Dalton a good battle at Marion, although Dalton had the weight advantage. The four-round prelim will find Pinky Crosby against Pat Walsh, also of this city. They are 158pounders. Both ten-round bouts appear to have well-matched principals. Roceo vs. Norm Genet of Barberton. Ohio, and Click vs. Farmer Joe Cooper of West York, 111., are the main attractions.

If you don’t like what the catcher has signaled for, shake him off and talk it over. Have confidence In your ability. No pitcher can succeed without such an asset. Make up your mind th#t every batter respects your stuff.

control. My idea of control is not merely alining the bail over the plate, but rather pitching to the batter’s weakeness. Control is an acquired art. Borne pitchers are blessed by being more accurate than others, yet every pitcher can perfect himself by constant effort. A strong pitching arm Is a gift of nature. Evei-y pitcher fortunate enough In having a milliondollar arm, as they say In baseball, should nurss It along.

I find that a fast ball delivered with a natifral motion is easiest on the arm. That may sound strange, yet the throwing of the curve or slow bail takes much more out of the arm. Like control, a change of pace can be acquired. Throwing the slow one is more difficult for some pitchers than others. This Is due to the fact that they are forced to change their style. A slow ball is not really effective unices delivered with the
