this boy ??,??', ?boat to\ttt*CT\ years old,

?ooirondered how he ever got hi? eer
v,ee over the net, And then ttuppose
thst your friend had taid to you:
"That boy there will be beatlng

in, tornado, don't you? And little ;
Kumagae!
Gave Mrl.otighlin Battle
"Didn't he beat Bill Johnston up at
vewpotf and Wally Johnson, wasn't
he the bird who played McLoughlin to
ft'uandstill on the Casino courts in
1812 for the nntional championship?
No "that vour.'.:-"er might trim you or
ine'but don't be too enthusiastic just
because he belongs to your club. I've
heanl of these infant prodigics be?
fore." ., ,_ 1_, VI
After that you'd probably go back
to the city and forget all about the
bor in knlckerbockers, in Yonkers, who
was going to beat Tilden and Kumagae
and Johnson et a!. Yet this hypothet
ical proposition has turned out just
in the manncr vour hypothetical friend,
gpeaking of the future hypothetical
champion, said it would.
In other words, the boy we have
been telling you about is none other
than Vincent Richards of the Uni
versity Height* Tennis Club. of this ;
city, the sixteen-year-old national in- j
door sihglea champion, national indoor :
doubles champion, national outdoors <
doubles champion, national boy cham- :
pion and national indoor junior cham- '
pion. The same Richards who de
feated lchiya Kumagae and Wallace
F. Johnson in the Middle Atlantic
State? tournament in Philadelphia last
February and who won the national
indoor singies titie by defeating Tilden '
in five sets a week or more ago.
And Richards is certainly not yet
fully started on hia court caTeer, tak- i
ingit for granted hi? development will
be natural ln the course of the next
two or three years. ThinV: of what
another season of comr>etition against
all the leading players of the country
will do for this tow-headed youth! De
feats now will but strengthen him and
make him more dangerous in the fu
ture. Truly, it will require a Will
iams, a MrLoughlin, a Johnston to put
a temporary eheck on this "miracle
boy's" long string of victories.
U'c are presentlng the photographs
of a Krotip of local lawn tennis "future |
greata" on this pago, of whom Richards
is the most promfnent and the most ;
promii?ing. Naxt to him we should rank
Frank T. Andcrson, the cyclonic youth
from tha Kitijfs County Tonnis Club, j
of Brooklyn, who was a semi-rinaliat in |
the national Indoor tourney nnd is the
enl Iiong Island and Norlh Side
chnmplon and holder of the famous
fribuno Challenge Cup.
Not So Cool I'ndcr Flre
\i doraon haa prartically averything
Richards posscssos in t h*? w?y ol
strokrs and apeod of court covering;
In fact, lux shot'i are made with more !
inap and "pace" than tho Uplverslty
[leighte player's, We do not believe,
however, that Anderson is quitr so re- j
markable a court general an Richards, i
nor so cool under flre, Tneie, though,
aro the ?iii'titiguishlng characterinticH
of youth, and the rnancen aro that
Frank will correet them within the next
year or so- Ho is a splendld and spec
tacular volleyer, a sound, hard driver
from deop court and very aevero over
head, with a service that is notequalled
in speed and elTeetiveness hy more than
three or four men in the United States.
A Cacettous friend of ours once re
marked that Fred AnderBon, jr., would
be a great player "when he grew up." j
Freil is Frank's elder brother Rnd now |
mea.uire.*, a triHe under (i feet R inches j
in his Rneakers. By the time he
reachei the 7-foot mark it is quite
easy to believe that he will attain to
greatness.
Fred G. Andcrson, father of the ]
brothers, was one of the best known j
players on American courts until a:
few years ago, and has probably won ;
more tournaments, titles and prizes
than any other single player in the
land, and fi foot 8 P'red, jr., is a "chip j
ol' the old block."
The young giant's tremendous height
and reach make him a dangerous man
overhead and at the net, and now that
tho aforementioned "old block" is |
about ready to retire from champion
ship competition it is fitting that Fred, j
jr., should keep the name prominent |
on the courts.
Harold, L. Taylor, another Rrooklyn
youth, won the national junior title
at Forest Hills last Soptember, but
has not reached hia top development,
in our opinion. He is essentially a
stylist in stroke execution, in this re
spect resenjbling some of the great
British players, and is a keen volleyer
at the net, with sound forcing shots
to back him up.
Of Net-Storming Type
Gerald Emerson, of South Orange,
is of the smashing, net-storming type
that we have como to associate with
the California school of lawn tennis.
He made a fine ahowing in the reeent
indoor tourney, and is just beginning
to learn the value of restraint on the
courts. Much will depend upon how
succesful he is in this, for most of his '
faults at present may be ascribed to
this tendency.
The last subject of this article, Cecil
Donaldson, of the Terraee Club of
Fiatbush, is sixteen years old and was
runner-up last year for the Canadian
junior title, He was developing rapid
ly and sensationally last spring. when
he entered upon a husiness career, and ;
his appearance3 on the courts have |
been very infrequent of late. However, i
a season of play should put him close I
up to the rest of this brilliant array I
of young stars.

Yale Men Rally
To Proposed Plans
For Club Building
NEW HAVEN', April 12.- A unl- |
versal sentiment has been expressed \
at Yale in favor of the erection of an i
athletic club buiiding. Two models
representing two widely divergent
5dea3 have been suggested, and it is
uncertain which will be adopted. The ?
first, in brief, is to construct a large
general clubbouse near the athletic j
plar.t at Yale Field, the second to build
or to purchase a atructure already ;
erected for use as a club for the mem- i
bers of the athletic teama of the uni- j
versity.
The first plan aims to provide a
locker, bathing and lounging facilities
for every undcrgraduate, and to etimu
late, develop and crystallize Yale's re
cently announced athletic policy of re
quiring every student to take part in
some. form of athletics or general ex
crcises.
The seconri gcheme would provide a
fencral rallying point and social club
or the atimulation of interest and en
thusiasm of the members of the col
lege tcams, and will be known as the
"Y" club if it is formed. A club of
this kind was organized at 117 Wall
Street about four years ago, the build?
ing at this number being chosen be
cause Yale football coaches, alumni
and players met for years and laid
their gridiron plang in room 117 of the
old New Haven House and later the
Hotel Taft.
Dr. Albert Hayes Sharpe, Yale's new
athletic director, has announced his
wish that the larger general clubhou.se
be erected in connection with the
training of the undergraduates and
their gcnt-ral participation in sporta
at Yale Field. He is by no means op
posed to the formation of a "Y" cluo,
but he Is In bearty gympathy with the
plan, which took root at Yale this
spring, of making athletics compulaory
to the extent of rcquiring every un
dergraduate to partiopate in some
form of physical exercisus or recrua
tional sporta.

Famous Tourneys of Old
Back on Tennis Schedule
By Fred Hawthorne
One of the striking and encouraging !
of followers of lawn tennis when they |
of followers of lawn tennis, when they
glanoe over the list of sanctioned tourna
ments for 1910, issued yesterday by tTiu
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, will be tho rcappearance of
all the famous old tourncya of other
years.
These fixtures, such as the annurU
claaaic invitation tournament at the
Newport Casino, the historic Seabright.
Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club invita?
tion event, the Meadow Club of Rout.h
ampton's great invitation tourney and
the annual Middle States' championship
event, on the turf court of tho Orango
Lawn Tennis Club, will be renewed this
season, and it is probablc they will call
forth the higheat ran*!ng men of the
country.
A total of 150 tournaments is sanc?
tioned in the list made public yester?
day, and in addition to theso there are
the various junior, girls' and boys'
turneys, which are listed separately,
nnd an indeftnito numbcr of fixtures
that have not yet been assujned, ow
irig to conflict >n dates. This is corisid
erably below the topmost market, set
In 11)17, when there were over two hun?
dred sanctioned tournaments, but it is
felt that the. quality of eoinpositioti
this season will be higher than it ha*
been slncc 1916 and that next year the
game will riae to holghta of popular
ity, both here and overscas, that it has
not known before.
In addition to the' revivnl of the blg
Invitation tourneya, almosl every state
championahip will bo reaumed and all
the sectional doublea title evenls will
be held, with tho exception of the
Pacific-Northwest flxture. Junior and
international mutchea and the Inter
Mountaln tourney will be played in
stead. Most of the tournaments miss
ing this season will be from tho ranks
I of the, "aummer hotel" ulvleion, these
! having bnen hurdeat hit by !h<
The womon wiii Jftgure m tho iir?i
l ol tiiu jitttioiiui chat 4110/iijbiii louraevs,
to be played, startlng- their annual
tournament on the turf courts of the
Philadelphia Crickot Club on June lf!.
Simultaneously with this event the
girls' national championship and tho
mixed doubles title will be decided on
the same courts.
Reports that California la again to
make an invasion, with Miss Mary K.
Browno and Mrs. Thomas C. Bundy
heading the title seekers, will cause
unusual Interest to centre on this
aflfair, with Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the
present champipn, defending her
crown.
July 14 will be the date of the next
nationa! tourney, the clay court cliiim
pionship being scheduled on the courts
of the South Side Tennis Club, of Chi
I cago. William T. Tilden, 2d, of Phila?
delphia, who now holds tho title, will
nrobably be hard pressed to retain the
laurels.
jiThcre is a skip of almost a month
before the third of the national cham
I pionships is contested for. We jump
to the Longwood Cricket Club, of Bos
ton, for this event, the national doubles
tourney, with the winners of the vari
! ous sectional titles compoting. Tilden
and Vincant Richards, present holders,
will bc called upon to face far sternor
opposition than was the case last year,
when they captured the honora.
On August 2a the blue ribbon event
of the courts in this country, the men's
national championship singlea, will be
gin on the turf courts of tho West
Side Tennis Club, of Forest IIills,
Long Island. Robert Lindley Murray,
who won the title last year, will have
| to face his oldtime rivals, men like
Williams, Johnaton, McLoughlin and
Tilden, in this event, and if he ?ur
vives Ihe ordenl he will well nierit all
tho praiso that will be heaped upon
him.

Yale Noses Out Fordham in
Eleven-Inning Ball Game
Bronx Collegians in a
Stubborn Contest With
Old Eli's Nine
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 12.?Yale
to-day nosed out a victory over Ford
ham 8 to 7 after eleven innings of rip
roaring baseball, in which both nines
stubbornly wrested the lead from each
other twice. Finn and Robinson, the
rival nominations in the box, were re
spectively swept asidc by batting
rallleB, Finn in the third, and Robinson
after the eighth, and their successors
held the attack successfully aftenvarJ
in check. The catching exhibitions of
Fredericks and Sweetland were excep?
tional. In addition to faultless back
stopping, Fredericks pounded out three
hitsandpulled down a difKcult foui fly
off Schonberg in the fifth, while Sweet
alnd's afternoon was perfect, with four
singles and a pass in five journeys to
the plate.
Frisch's all-round game was brill
iant, although his erratic throw al
lowed Holden to score Yale's winning
run. His two three-baggers yieldi d
four of Fordham's score.-:. Running
catchea by Burkley of Uolden's long
fly in the sixth. Captain Boyd's over
hauling of Corcoran's akyacraper In the
third and the doublo play of Prann
Bawyer and Lynch in the fourth were
the fielding features.
Fordham started by crashing two
runs ncross on Schonberg's pass,
Frisch's triplo and Lefevre's out. Yale
tied the count in hef half on singles
by Boyd and Prann and Gage's timely
double, all with two out. Singles by
Sawyer, Frederick and Robinson, Uol?
den's pass and Lynch'a opportuna
double gave Yale three runa in the
fourth.
Sweetland'a single, Finn's pass and
Frisch's second triple countod for two
in the seventh. Yale scored twico in
this inning on Lynch'a pass, and sin?
gles by Boyd and Gage, who personally
pounded homo four of Yale's runs.
Fordhnrn tied the tally in the e
on a pass to Eualac glea hv
Sweetland, Schonbi i
acut the wiAnUuc run around ihc cir
cuit in the elerenth on Holden's sin- ?

and Sellera, who occupied the ontelde

Baker following and Meredith last
Compjeting the first lnp. Sellers deemed
tho pace too slow und sped in front of
O'Brien.
Sellers set a sizzling pace, and the
other runners were Btriring their
mightiest to keep up. Baker appeared
the strongest of tho trio in the back
field, and passed O'Brien, to dispute
the lead with Sellers. Inch by inch
Baker cut down Scllers's one-yard lead.
Just to fail in overtaking his opponent.
Loren Murchison, of St. Louia, th?>
national Indoor sprint champion, failed
to ehow the form he displayed when he
won two titles here recently, and con
sequently was defeated twice at hlr.
favorite distances. In the 76-yard hand
icap dash, Murchison just failed, by
inches, to ovcrtake Lieutenant Charles
Reimerth, Camp Meade.who enjoyed a
Start of 14 feet.
Murchison failed even worae in the
300-yard event, in which he flnished
third from scratch. He was handi
capped seriously by being forced to run
on the outside, being balked on th"
first turn, when he had to slow up to
ayoid being knocked down. The cham?
pion gradually picked up ground there
after. but 'was one ynrd behind Will?
iam Mesloh, Stever.:-, Tech and Arthur
Rothschild, Kings County A. A., who
led him home as named.
Irving Schreeks, of Columbia Univer
sity, proved himself a novice runner
out of the ordinary by winning a 440
yard race for boys who had never won
a prize. Schreeks was in the van after
running 100 yards ana won by mon>
than 25 yards. In the high school relay
race, De La Salle was forced to con
cede large handicaps, and at no timo
was a eontender for the honors. Poly
Prep was the winner, with Clinton sec
