In the twelfth inning Mc; Graw evolved a winning continua- tion of four hits, a walk and a sacri- fice after which Bancroft resiftned. The score was 7 to 4. The White Sox victory was one of four yesterday in which the win- ning team made fewer hits. Their five blows off Coveleskie were mixed with three errors by Joe Sewell. Cleveland’s ninth inning rally fell one shy. Mogridge, one of the innumerable Yankee cast offs, trimmed his for- mer mates, 6 to 4, when Rice hit a homer in the ninth with Judge on base. Pennock’s passes hastened his downfall. Ken Williams tripled with two on, and was responsible for the second St. Louis victory in two days over Detroit. Danforth held the Tigers to five hits.

IN JEOPARDY BY ROW WITH TENNIS CHAMP BY HENRY L, FARREJ.L (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 3. (United Press —Injection of personalities by the United States Lawn Tennis Associa: tion into the controversy with Wil- Mam T. Tilden, the national cham- pion, has placed the United States in a position where it is serfously in danger of losing possession of the Davis Cup. The Davis Cup is one of the most valuable. trophies in the world of sport. It is emblematia of the world’s tennis championship and, as has been pointed out in the past, it is the only, trophy that really rep- resents a champilonshipr of the whole world. The Davis Cup strayed away from the United States several years ago, and it was brought back from Aus- tralla only after the United States had paid thousands of dollars to send teams across the world after it and after Bill Tilden and Bill John- ston had made the sacrifice of time that represented thousands of dol- lars to them to travel around and battle for the trophy. To a nation that is inclined to’ boast of its prowess on athletic fields the Davis Cup means much. It is as much to be desired as the inter- national polo cup and the Argerica (yacht) Cup. With Tilden available, the chance for any foreign nation to take the cup away from the United States this summer was very small. With- out Tilden, the chance ts very good. Tilden could be counted upon: for two points in the challenge round and two points are a big start In a five point match. There is much in the controversy between the association and Tilden to make the public feel—“‘let’s have more of it.” Tennis fans are inter- ested chiefly in the playing of the game, and not in controversies about who is to run the game. There 1s no doubt that the associa- DOBBIN REALTY CO. Removed to No. 226 E. 2nd St. Zuttermeister Bldg. tion felt {t was doing something to preserve the game when it ruled that a player engaged in literary work for a substantial compensation was not a real amateur at heart. There is also reason to believe that Tilden feels that he 1s doing nothing wrong when he accepts a contract to write articles on and about tennis for newspaper” publication. The association, after hearing an appeal from Tilden for exception from the rule, stated, unoffictally, that it could not grant him immunity from the rule. Tilden then announced that only one course was open to him and that at the end of 1924 he would ‘be forced to withdraw from amateur competition to pursue his literary work. Rather graciously, Tilden offered his services for any purpose desired through the season of 1924 and then proceeded to go quietly about his business. The argument should have stopped there without any more words. The association had told Tilden that he could not play and write, and Tilden answered by saying that he would respect the sovereignty of the asso. ciation and that he would write and not play. eee Instead of maintaining a dignified position, the amateur rules commit- tee, which had handled the contro- versy,’ came out, through its chair- man, Holcombe Ward, with a per- sonal blast against Tilden, in face of which he could not remain silent. Although there has been no per sonalities in the entire discussion Ward broke out with an attack DOBBIN REALTY CO. Have Lots in All Parts of the City On Easy Terms, Suite 11 Zuttermeister Bldg.
