Fiatbush Players Take Three
\Iore of the Five Con?
cluding Tennis Matches
By Fred Hawthorne
Winning three out of the five sched
iled matches yesterday, the lawn ten?
nis stars of the Heights Casino of
Brooklyn triumphed over the represen
natives of the 7th Regiment Tennis
Club by a total of seven matches to
two. On Saturday, the first day of
play, the Casino players won all four
of ;he contests.
The two doubles matches yesterday
brought out the most spirited tennis
of the day. In one of these Fred <
Anderson and James Ewing, of ?ho
7th Regiment team, r brilliant jun?
iors, defeated H. S. Pi rkcr and Julian
S. Myrick of the Casino, by a score
of 7?5, 12?-10. F.arlier in the day
Anderson had defeated the veteran G.
A. L. Dionne of the Casino forces by a
score of 6?4, ?! 6, ?'? . thus having a
part in the only two victories won by
the regimental team, This a nip and
?uek issue.
Krank T. Anderson, Cue younger
brother of Fred, paired with Abraham
Bassford 3d, suffered defeat in the
other doubles match, but only after a
nip and tuck struggle againsi Dean
Mathey and Leonard Beekman, the seta
going V.! 6?3, 12 -10. The last set n
this match found both teams alter?
nating in the lead.
Several times it looked as though
Anderson and Bassford would take the
se; and square the match, but Mathey
and his partner, a little more reliable
in the pinches and just as brilliant in
the flashing rallies, finally managed to
pull out the hist two games.
Parker took the measure of Samuel
Robert MacAUister, the 7th Regiment
team captain, by a score of f> 4, 6 3,
and in the last encounter of the day
Beekman won from Ewing in straight
sets, by a score of 6 1. 6 '?'>.
The match between Fred Anderson
and Dionne resulted in a long drawn
out struggle, the former pitting his
net-rusing, smashing attack against
the remarkable steadiness and accur?
acy of Dionne's back-court game.
.After the first two sets had been
split. Anderson crowded on more speed
and forced the net position so per
sistently that Dionne had all kinds, of
trouble in placing his returns out of
his opponent's tremendous reach. The
best the veteran could do was to take
three games in this set before Ander?
son had smashed out his final points
for the match.
MacAUister covered a. tremendoti
amount of ground and made some spec?
tacular "gets" in his match with
Parker, but the latter was in fine
? froke and his work at the net was
.cry good, so that many times he cut
??ff his opponent's shots close to the
barrier and sent, the ball shooting
oack into the corners for placement
aces.
Beekman, evidently a bit out of form
'"rom lack of practice, had a pretty
little struggle on his hands to take the
measure of young Ewing at 6 I, 6?3.
The latter is one of the juniors who
have been coming alone fast, and al
?hough Beekman had the advantage of
-xperience, he Vfas forced to call upon
'very stroke in his repertory to halt
'he youngst.-r in the opposite court.

Forced to Stop
Play at Tuxedo
Kinsella, His Opponent,Had
Lost Two Straight Sets
Before Accident Happens
An accident to Jay Gould, world ama
teur and professional court tennis
champion, abruptly ended his exhibition
match with Walter A. Kinsella, his
strongest rival, which was played be?
fore a large gallery at the Tuxedo Ten?
nis ,.nd Racquet Club, Tuxedo, N. V.,
yesterday. The accident occurred at a
dramatic moment when the champion.
was endeavoring- to score the points
necessary to defeat Kinsella in three
straight sets.
The men battled brilliantly during
the first two sets, which Gould won by
the same scores. 6 -3. Kinsella put
up a bitter tight to avoid a clean rout.
Play in the third set was much faster,
Kinsella resorting to all his known
court tennis strategy to baffle his op?
ponent. With the count six games to
iive in Goulds favor and the champion
leading; at 4 to 3 in the twelfth game,
Kinsella sent a soft lob over the net
which bounded close to the side wall.
Gould rushed forward to get his rac?
quet to the ball and stumbled. He suc?
ceeded in reaching the ball, although
he failed to return it successfully to
the front wall. Gould's head struck
the side wall hard, opening up a deep
gash on his forehead over his right
eye. Kinsella and Bob Moore, for
whose benefit the men were playing,
rushed to the aid of the champion.
Blood flowed freely from the cut.
Dr. Rushmore, a local physician who
was seated in the gallery, treated Gould
after he had been assisted to the dress?
ing room. After the physician had
taken several stitches, the champion
was soon himself again, and later left
for his home.
The match was a handicap affair,
with loud enjoying one bisque and
Kinsella being allowed the advantage
of one-half fifteen. Gould's cleverness
in claiming his small allowance at op?
portune limes aided him greatly in
scoring his one-sided victory. In the
first set Gould accepted his bisque in
the sixth game which enabled him to
assume a lead of 4 to 2. The remain?
ing three games were featured with
hard smashing and hitter rallies, with
K'nsella on the losing end, after a
game fight.
Kinsella opened the second set by
winning the first game, Gould accept?
ing his bisque in the second game
which enabled him to tie the score.
Th.n. the champion got his pet strokes
working to add the next three games,
which lead he retained.
in the third K?me both players were
playing the best court tennis of which
they were capable. Gould quickly
gained a lead of 3 games to 1, but his
opponent erased this advantage and
coi ?- nued his invincible playing to
lead Gould by 5 games to 4. The
champion won the next two games and
had Kinsella 4 points to .'! in the thir?
teenth, when Gould suffered his acci?
dent.

THE American Association has decided that it is permissible fc
player to argue with an umpire over a decision provided I
does so in a gentlemanly manner. I would like to hear fro
Heinie the Zim, Johnny Evers and a few other baseball players
on what they would consider a gentlemanly argument with an umpire.
Their compositions might not be printable, but they would be interesting.
Seriously, it looks as though the American Association had made a
vital mistake'in recognizing the right of the player to question the rulings
of the umpires. Baseball is the only sport where the questioning of
the ruling of the official in charge is tolerated. Certainly there has been
plenty of kicking without the official sanction. Now that a certain
amount of'protest is permitted and even encouraged by the American
Association the games in tha, league may consist almost entirely of con
.versation, and conversation by baseball players, even when it is of the
most gentlemanly order, is not interesting to fans who pay money to
ste baseball games.
The ruling of the umpire in baseball should be final as the rulings
of the officials in any line of sport are final. Of course, some of us
have been highly entertained by the kicking of men like Heinie the Zim,
Johnny Evers and the others, but we have to admit that this is in no way
v. part of the game. Baseball is so truly the national game thai the
eternally American spirit that is in it has to "flout the law it makes," as
Mr. Kipling said. This is fundamentally wrong, however, and the Amer?
ican Association has made a grave mistake in fostering what really
amounts to insubordination and lack of sportmanship.
Boxing Bill Before Solons
rr?HE campaigning in the New York Legislature for the restoration of
professional boxing to New York State opens this week with the in
troduction of the Ross bill. Indications are that some sort of boxing
bill will be passed. The Ross bill leaves the length of bouts and the
matter of decisions to a boxing commission for which the bill providi s.
The prejudice that existed against professional boxing before the
! war seems to have been, removed to a great extent. Boxing has gaineil
i new fans and friends, and some of its stauchest advocates are clergy in n
' who served in the army during the World War. It can be made a cica'.
sport and one worth preserving if the right sort of boxing commission is
put in charge. Otherwise there would be little use in trying to revive
the game.
The Improvement of Billiards
r|,HE New York Billiard Room Owners' Association at its eighth annual
meeting elected John T. Doyle president for the eighth successive
time. The association has done some wonderful work in the way of pro?
moting billiards as a real sport. Time was when the billiard places were
?the resorts of the loungers, gamblers arid undesirables. With the co?
operation of License Commissioner John F. Gilchrist tie billiard rooms
of greater New York have been cleaned up and raised to a high plane.
The association has at present 200 members, and its aim is to bar
all places of questionable character. The billiard room owners are far
I sighted enough to see that with prohibition enforced the billiard rooms
i will be more crowded than ever, and they have determined that they will
i be on the alert to keep their places clear of the sharks and professional
' gamblers.
Like all sports billiards gained popularity in war limes. The-billiard
rooms around the training camps always were crowded. During the war
the New York Billiard Room Owners' Association raised money in varions
ways to provide tables and paraphernalia for the various K. of C. and
Y. M. C. A. huts. Their aim is to keep the game so clean that the old
fashioned idea that a youngster with a billiard cue in his hand was
started on the road to perdition will disappear entirely.
Columbia Makes Good Start
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY is starting its campaign for a place in n ajoi
football under good auspices. The selection of Frank J. ("Buck")
O'Neill seems a particularly happy one. '"Buck" O'Neill is one of the
best football coaches of the East, and if he gets the support thai lie
should get and must have, if the Columbians wanl to do anything m foot?
ball, the eleven of 1920 should be heard from.
In spite of everything Columbia finished the year of 1010 with ?
spectacular and totally unexpected tie again?: Brown University when
the experts were predicting that Brown would tear large and plentiful
holes through the Blue ami White line. The fighting spirit of the Co
lumbians did it. O'Neill is just the sort of man to foster and develop
this sort of spirit. He will have many of the best men of the 1919 line-up
in his squad this year.
While the last year team finished in a wonderful fashion, lie fir I
part of the season was not so fortunate. There was dissension m the
training and some misunderstanding between the former coach and the
players. But this yeirr Columbia lias a new deal, and if the players sta
right they should do well under "Buck" O'Neill.
Afraid of the Boxing Game
THt: l-niversit> oi Pennsylvania is a little bit dubious concerning the
advisability of establishing.boxing as a collegiate sport. "The Penn
: sylvania Gazette" says:
While we would not say a word against tin- value of boxing as a
body-builder and a splendidly stimulating recreation, wo hope that
the National Collegiate Athletic Association and any other body that
considers putting it on an intercollegiate basis will proceed with great
caution. At present we see no good to be produced by intercollegiate
boxing. It can be enjoyed quite as well on its present basis as a {.art
of the gymnastic curriculum. On the other hand, we see possibilities
for great mischief if it is placed on an intercollegiate basis. Our
objection is principally the malodorous condition of professional
boxing. No one will accuse us of misrepresenting things when we
say that there are very few honest boxers in the professional ring.
The same can be said of the vast majority of boxing promoters.
The moment the colleges begin to promote competitive box ??? as an
intercollegiate spectacle the boxing promoters are goinf to interesl
themselves in commercializing it. We have just passed through a
gridiron season in which the professional football managers . Imost
ruined the sport for the amateurs. In fact, the situai.un .vas . bad
that both the Western conference and the N. ('. A. A. passed drastic
rules to fight this menace. With this as an example, why should col
lege men invite an even more threatening danger in the shape of the
professional boxing promoter and his disreputable crew? Once more
we urge both our university and other colleges to observe the pre
cautionary green light.
This sounds a bit lugubrious. It probablj is true that the bom -
boxing promoters :.n? the honest boxers are quite as scarce ?'?
: "Gazette" believes them to be. But mighl not the advervt of col]
' into the professional boxim; game raise its tone? |t might. Bu1 fo
: present the danger of the collegians being tampered with is not great"
A student would have to pack a fairly healthy wallop before the pro?
fessional promoters would seek him out. Then- never h:* been a colic
man a professional pugilistic champion in any class, and the advent o/
boxing champion with an A. B. does not see imminent. Boxing talent
s-'ems to flourish better m the boiler factories than ?1 does" 11
campus of Harvard. Pennsylvania or Vale. But no one can tefi'wlvu
the future may bring when a heavyweight champion fighl i l?w..,' -V
draw a gate of $1,000,000.
