We have had entirely to many spectators in this country and far too few-actual players or competitors. This gee* especially for football, baseball and boxing. These are largely spectator game*. But these conditions may also change later on. Minions of spectators only mean box ofBce receipts. They mean nothing In the way of physical condition. Now back to tennis. Our expert continues--' Tennis is the only sport plk^ed in countries all over the world under the same rules and regulations. Tennis is an international matter, not a local affair. We figure there are something like 40,- 000,000 tennis players in the world, men and women. No other sport can even approach this marh. Before the war we had something like 800,000 tennis rackets turned out each year. This will be doubled after the war. Tennis will1 be one of our greatest games. It takes up far less spade and gives far more action than golf." To forestall any wild squitoks from bowlers, softball players and basketball players, we'd like to step aside on this part of the argument. The bowlers and the basketball players claim around 20,000,000. The softball players over 30,000,- 000. We'll let them fight this out. But people don't read so much about their stars or their teams. The four major reading sports in the United States are baseball, football, boxing and racing--with golf'n£5ct.

All this happened after two batters had been retired. The Shamrocks picked iip a couple of runs in the sixth when three doubles boomed off their bats. Two more runs in the seventh tied the score. Nothing happened then until the ninth. After one out, H. Hopp, Ebel and Yerke hit safely to' put over the winning run. Dean McCracken's three hits in four trips led the local boys in the offensive department. Next Sunday the Shamrocks will travel to Richmond to meet the league leaders. •, BOX SCORE ' SHAMROCKS AB B H Conwap, ss. 4 1. •• * ';2. McCracken, If. .4 . i 3 WVtgner, p.-2b 3 5 Murphy, cf.-p 4 H.
