A meeting of the Allison Hill League committee will be held Tuesday evening to decide the protest filed by the Shoe Factory team in Wednesday evening's, game. Dugouts have been installed in front of the Hill League grandstand to seat the players, and other Im provements are being made about the field. Don Wertz speared two grounders high above his head in last evening's game, both of which may have gone for hits but for the feat. The big boy was in good form, but was a trifle wild. The result of the game was no surprise to a majority of the fans after the first few innings, despite the rally.

Speese looked like a dif ferent team from that which played in previous games this season. The pep was lacking. Peepy Mell is also on the injured list, and he could do no more than limp through last evening's contest. CENTRAL LEAGUE Standing of the Clubs W. L.

Aj it was lo one among the thousands of specU trs doubted for a moment that Alonzo was the greatest player. Alonzo had just arrived from Eng ho ontpred the ht. Llouu urnament.

A Remarkable Game Alonzo accomplishes the downfall of his opponents and a most engaging personality that directs it versatile and lithe he fairly flashes through all his matches. He is also a sportsman of the highest type as he as modest in victory as he is generous in defeat. tI Alonzo is an all court player. we has an adequate if not remarkable American twist service. This he it rarrips no exeat speed but it is of sufficient variety to keep his opponent guessing at all times.

His irround stroKes, iram iuic hand, are top spin drives. These carry great depth, and, off his fore hand remarkable speed.

Owing to the expense attached to the matcnes this year in the purchase of suitable medals for the winners, a small registration fee will be charged.

This will be announced later. Mrs. A. D. Sauers, who has held the woman's championship in this city for the past ten' years will be unable to defend her title owing to an injury received early in the sea son.

1 It was announced definitely, however, that J. Richard Robinson, the present city champion, will defend his title again. He has one leg on the championship cup offered by Shenk and Tittle last year. Joseph Waldschmitt will be the official referee and will have charge of all matches. Interest Is Strong There has been a tremendous Interest in tennis this year at the Reservoir courts and the need for larger facilities is ev.Uent.

William T. Tilden. when he was here ex pressed the hope that tennis would come Into its own here as elsewnere. The present congestion at Reservoir Park is a sign that would please the champion. It is hoped that Harrisburg officials will soon ee the handwriting on the wall.

Alonzo's volleying is remark able for its angles. While his deep nlleying lacks ag gresslveness is" bound, to say the best. Overhead this Spanish player is severe and also unusually reliable. Speed His Asset But it is ,11 none ot these points that Alonzo stands out pre eminent for there are many players who equal his stroke equipment. Rather It is in his phenomenal speed of foot and quickness of eye that Alonzo proves him one of the world's greatest players.

His nticipation is not faultless, but tmeanny ability to change the direction of his shot at the last moment re eatedly saves him after he has been outguessed. If he has One weakneess i. is lack of patience. He is also eimewhat uncertain on ground strokes from mid court and will attempt to nee" his opponent when an opening shot would be better. This brilliant Spanish player has the f'ghter of the Rill Johnston typenever co dangerous as when behind.

His risourcefullness is not that of a tennis genius such as marks' the play of Norman E. Brookes. It Is rather that of a man driven into a corner un linking but instinctively right. It is not subtle and his defense is secondary to his attack. Once one breaks tarough the latter Alonzo is a beaten man.

True, he will go down fighting to the end. but solely so because he simply lacks tactical knowledge to pave himself. These minor defects in what Is otherwise a geat ga'me are due primarily, as I see it, to lack of experience. Time Should remedy all that. Alonao is now planning to come to America to play 1 our National Singles Championships ii Philadelphia during September.

Of course his is out of the Davis Cup ties here, the English having eliminated the Spanish players, but should his present plans mature and he gains the tlie experience our big tournaments preceding the National are bound to give him, look for him to creat a sensation in our tennis circles. His game to day is a composite of Billy John Eton's and Harold Tlwfltkmorton's.

George Lewis Rickard has earned fame in the staging of several bouts drawing the largest gate receipts in the history of the sport. Thrown in contact with the boxing game by accident, Rickard has accomplished nearly everything he has set his mind on. Rickard was born in Kansas City, January 2, 1871. His father, a millwright, moved to the Panhandle of Texas when "Tex" was a small At the age of 12 years, thrown on his own resources, with a widowed mdther, two brothers and three sisters to support, Tex turned to the calling of cow punching, universal in Texas. He met success in the cattle business, but in 1894 'ytiit the trail" for the Klondike.

Months of hardship brought fair returns, but after a year or two in Dawson, Rickard moved again. This time he drew up in Goldfield, Nev. Rickard sug gested a championship boxing match. Friends Aid Him From his friends he secured enough money to offer Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern a $30,000 guar antee for a championship bout in Goldfield. Coming from an unknown, at hat time, the offer was hailed by the boxers and their managers as a joke.

Rickard kept right on, however, and the managers of Joe Gans and Battling Nelson were more suscep tible. The lightweights fought a memorable battle at Goldfield. The town was advertised nationally and Tex Rickard became a successful promoter. Since that time Rickard has pro moted the greatest ring contests ever staged. He astounded the country with his guarantees for the Johnson Jeffries battle at Reno in 1910.

But his receipts totalled $270,000, and he emerged a winner by $100,000 Receipts for the Willard Dempsey bout at Toledo, July 4, 1919 amounted to $450,000, a new high mark. Made Good "Profits Bouts staged by him in Madison Square Garden during the six months previous to last March brought in more than $1,300,000. Approxi mately $1,000,000 will flow into the box office before Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentler square off to day, easily covering the tremendous outlay necessary to stage this bout, Rickard is one of the few who have coaxed substantial returns out of promotion In the boxing game, Rickard has successful in the staging of thirty battles.
