LATE SPORTING NEWS Big Tennis Tournaments of the Next Three Weeks. Washingtons Again Benten—Proposed 1 Spli the Hase Ball Lengue— Home Series Opens aye During the next three weeks the most important tennis tournaments of the sea- son will be held. Yesterday the annual contest for the Mossley Hall cup began at Bar Harbor, and at Long Branch, N. J., the first invitation tournament was held at the Norwood Park casino. On Thursday the tournament begins at Sorreato, and next week come championship doubles at Narragansett Pier. On August 21 the championship contests at Newport will begin. The most important of this week's tour- naments is that at Norwood Park. It is an invitation event, and surpasses in the quality of its entries the invitation tourna- ments at West Newton and Manchesier held earlier in the season. The players are Wrenn, body, Stevens, Chace, V. G. and KE. L. Hall and possibiy Hovey. Each man will play every other once during the week, giving a good chance for a final size-up before Newport. It will be interesting to see how Good- body will play with these men. As yet he has met only Larned of the ranked men. He was very enthusiastic over Larned’s game at Longwood, and said chat Larned would stand a very good show with any Ingland’s cracks. G. Hall has been playing the past week jar Harbor, but Wrenn, Stevens, Chece 1 E. L. Hall have done no tournament k since Longwood. Larned’s fine game util pod and his still better showing re indications of his im- . his showing this week watched with much interest. Larned, Good- The tou ment has detracted somewnat oF usual interest In the Mossley Hall the tournament at Sorrento be very attractive. Wrenn probably will be seen there in che last part of the weck to defend the cup, and there | is a chance that Chace also will be there. nd Howland undoubtedly will % et practice for Narragansett, anc Gorda Parker, the winner of the Newcastle nament, will play in the singles, stern Championship, For the Narragansett doubles several prominent entries have already been sent in. Among them are R. DPD. Wrenn and Malcolm Chace, M. F. Goodbody and E. L. Hall, E. P. Fischer and W. Gordon Parker, ©. R. Budlong and Leo Ware. The winner of the tournament, which is for the eastern championship, will play the western cham- pions, the Neel brothers, for the right to play Hobart and Hovey at Newport. The Neel brothers won the title of west- ern champions at* the tournament in Chi- cago last month. Sam Chase and J. A. Ryerson were defeated in this tournament in the first round, and the Wrenn brothers, Everett and George, succumbed in the semi- finals. Chase and Ryerson represented the west at Newport three years ago. The game of the Neel brothers is noted for its steadiness more than for its brill- fancy, and they rarely smash at the net. Their team play, however, is sald to be superb. Since the Longwood tournament there have been no remarkable events in the game except the unexpectedly strong show- ing made by W. G. Parker at the Went- worth. It was known that he had beaten Larned once and Chace once in the earlier part of the year, but that was before those men had got Into form, and when he was beaten by G. H. Crocker in the preliminary round at Longwood it! was” thought that ‘his chances were settled for securing recogni- tion this year. His victories over Foote and Budlong at Newcastle last week, however, have brought him to the fore again, and it remains to be seen if he can keep up the pace at Sor- The uncertainty of tennis was never bet- ter illustrated tham on the last two days of the Wentworth tournament. On Friday, in playing doublés” with Parker ‘against Chace and Foote, Budlong put.up a beaguti- ful game. On the next day, in the finals against Parker, Budleng’s strokes were weak and poorly placéd and wholly with- out confidence. ‘ This lack of heart doomed him in a match against a player -so-tullk-ef ednfidencé ‘as Parker. The latter rarely misses easy shots, and this dées’ not tmprove the play of a nervous opponent. He has pe of the most peculiar forehand Strokes in the coun- try. He hits the ball with his wrisi turned and his racket at a decided angle to the ground. He volleys from his side when- ever possible. There promises to be quite a-shake-up ir the rating of the first ten this year. Wrenn will have hard -work-to-defend tis place, and Larned will not be content with fifth place this year Hobart cannot keep his place at second in the form he ts showing this year, and Howland and Foote will have to do good work for the rest of the season to hold their places. Budlong will make a. strong bid to rise from last place, and with Parker hard after a place changes are inevitable. STILL “HOLDING THEIR OWN.” The Senators Retain Their Posiiion as End Men the League. Beston scored twelve runs against Wash- ington in the seventh inning of the game yesterday. The story Is short, but graphic. Up to that point Maul pitched in excellent form, and the score stood 3 to 2 In favor of the Schmelzites. Errors, rank and numer- ous, followed on the part of Messrs. Joyce, Schiebeck, O'Rourke and Cartwright, and the Bostomans ran around the bases and crossed the plate galore.

Mr. Robison said there have been no nego- tlations whatever for such a deal, and that ae story, therefore, has no foundation in ‘act. “One thing I want to say just now,” con- tinued Mr. Robison,“that whatever changes take place next year in the league the present twelve-club organization must be sustained. Philadelphia and some of the eastern clubs are anxious to go back to an eight-club organization. Their reason for that is the western clubs are feeling the hard times and do not and cannot well sup- pert their clubs.

Captain Haff of the Vigilant said last night, at Cowes, after the yacht race: “It is quite true that the Britannia tried to hold us at the start, evidently in order to allow the Satanita to get ahead. In fact, that was their tactics throughout. When one got slightly ahead the other immediate- ly tried to hold us, end this led to our run- ning into the shore more than once. The Satanita only led on the run to Bembridge. Directly we turned the point and started to reach 1or St. Catherine s Pyint we began to gain and soon passed ‘her, The Britannia also came up, and then commenced a series of luffing matches. The Britannia was tow- ing hard and preverted us from passing, centinually bearing down on us and keeping us in shore. Ultimately when we had just pessed Ventnor we tried tq pass the Brit- wnnia to leeward, but failed. “Then we decided to, pass her to wind- ward whatever the risks might be. We succeeded, and the Britannia was pressed iv shore and rubbed her bottum. Later on the Britannia again tried the same game when we were close together. We were deterthined not to be jockeyed in this fash- jon, and as both were game, it was simply a case of which would go the farthest in | shore. As the Britannia draws three feet ‘The Vigilant also bumped, being earer the shore, but’ I do not think that rhe suffered seriously. Nevertheless we in- tend to dock her tomerrew to ascertain if her keel is injured. ,The Britannia’s posi- tion, however, appeared to us momentarily Serious, Her stern rose three feet.out of water and her,men were sent forward. She then, without’ actually stopping, bumped along into deeper water.” Gapt. Haff concluded significantly: “If the Pritannia continues these tricks there will be a yacht or two less to race these regat- ‘apt. Carter of the Britannia said that his boat grazed the rocks toree times dur- ing the race. A diver has since examined her bottom and reports that a part of her keel and copper has been torn away.

A special meeting of the elty council was called for last night by Mayor Strauss, to consider the subject of making certain grants to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, which has recently bought some property In this city on which it pro- pores to erect depot and side tracks for the handling of freight, etc. The following ordinances were passed by a unanimous vote: First, An ordinance authorizing the Baltimore and Qhio Railroad Company to cross with its tracks, Union street and the Pctomac strand near Wolfe street. Second, An ordinance authorizing the same com- pany to lay a vitrified brick pavement at its property on Union street near Wolfe. Third, An ordinance to authorize the same company to close up a portion of the Poto- © strand between Duke and Wolfe streets. Owing to the recent hoycott which has been enacted by the merchaats of Alex- andrie against the Pennsylvania Railroad Compary on acc¢unt ‘of the very poor depot facilities—both passenger and freight--the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have decided to come in and get a share of the business, and to this end have purchased property end made gians for an extensive freight depot in this city.
