September 3.—McBride’s unhappy aggregation, which startled the base ball world and endangered pennant hopes by | accounting for eleven consecutive victories a month ago, now is | a fair way to establish anbther record string—of losses. The 9-to-3 walloping administered by the Yankees yesterday was the eighth straight defeat absorbed by the Nationals, and with Carl Mays and his hafllingl brand of underhand shoots to be contsnded with this afternoon, there | seems little likelihood of an immediate termination of the slump. } There were no “ii ands” or about the licking the Griffs vesterday. After acquiring three runs’in the first ifining, two of them due to alien errors. they were limited to exactly two singles and a pass in the remaining eight frames, and but one of the trio got as far as second base. The offerings of George Erickson, on:the other hand, were as an opgn book to the Yankees, who followsd their recently ac- quired deadly habit of making full use of their ammuna‘ion.

It is understood that he s will shortly hook up with Dave Mac kay, the Newark promoter, who v_\'ul {manage him in all his ring affairs. | Fulton said he would bet a thousand | | dollars that Dempsey will not agree to meet him in the ring this year or next. “It's a good bet,” said Jack. “Un- less Fulton goes out and shows he is eligible to fight me again.

But now its Johnny Wilson instead of Georges Carpentier. | There are other points of difference. Johnny wears no gold embroidered silk kimono. He sports just a plain i bathrobe.

The commission ordered that total payments to the participants in the main event of a boxing exhibition be limited to 50 per cent of the net re- ceipts. Neither participant shall be given more than 75 per cent of the boxers’ share. Payment for preliminary matches were fixed at not less than $10 a round. The winner will receive oom- pensation for the entire number of rounds scheduled and the loser for only the length of the bout. A maximum price for ringside seats for bouts between topnotchers has been fixed at $25 each for the winter season. In order to offset the in- crease permitted for the best seats the commission ordered that the num- ber of “general admissions” must be increased and that the number of re- served seats must be reduced to pro- vide for the additional cheap seats.

MARTIN FACES KEISER victory IN BALTIORE ARENA! BALTIMORE, September 3. summer after the armistice wa; ed in France Bob Martin and Fay Keiser met in Paris to decide the bet tér heavyweight of the A. E. F. To night at the 5th Regiment Armory these same rivals will face each other again in a boxing match of the same duration—ten rounds. Martin was the victor in their first encounter and is favored to leave the roped arena once more with all the glory that goes with a glove contest. Martin is the more commanding figure. He has been kept on the move by Jimmy Bronson, his manager, who some day hopes to see him in the ring with Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion. Keiser is the smaller man and, al- though he made a good showing against Martin in Paris, it is not be- lieved that he has advanced in his chosen profession as fast as his rival. The difference in weight also is a handicap that the western Maryland boy will find difficult to overcome. Martin trained at Camp Holabird and Keiser at Camp Meade for the match. It is reported that both are in fine condition for their encounter. Four or five preliminaries between service boys will precede the chief bout. GEORGES TO FIGHT COOK.

Y., September 3.—Japan’s tennis masters, Kumagae F and Shimidzu, with two defeats chalked against them in their bat- tle for the Davis cup, meet the Yankee doubles combination in the third match of the series this afternoon, and in victory lies their only hope of prolonging the fray. Against the safe and sane “Little Bill” Johnston, Ichiya Kumagae did not appear at his best in their singles event yesterday. His game was soft, and his stroking generally was not up to par. Kumagae is not sensational, but his game usually is marked by accuracy and a tend- ency to return so as to get points on his opponent’s errors. | While two games are to be played | this afternoon in the series for the | { sandlot base ball championships of | the District, there will not be much,| activity in the independent and' league groups until after Labor day. | Intersectional contests in three divi- sions of the independents are to get under way next week and section A and B of the interleague tournament probably will determine winners be- fore seven days more roll by. The storm yesterday broke up two | games. Gibraltars and Emeralds, who were to play off a tie to determine whether the Westovers will have a | chance at the section A title in the | independent scrap, will meet Tues- day at Rosedale playgrounds. A vie- tory will give the Gibs the sectional | championship, but should they lose they must face the Westovers for the ! title. Fourth Surrender of the Lib- | | erty Loan League and Peoples’ Drug | | Store, champion of the Merchants' League, did not start play in section C of the interleague series. ! A red-hot battle is anticipated this | afternoon when the Renrocs and Le- { viathans will be opponents in section { B of the junior division in the inde- | pendent tourney. Should Renroc win, it will be tied with Roamer Athletic , Club for the lead and must play that club next Tuesday. This afternoon’s engagement will be played on the Union station plaza, starting at 2 j oclock.

Johnston. former na- tional titleholder, and W. T. Tilden, world champion, gave the Americans a big edge by their victories in the singles yesterday. Johnston mastered Kumagae, 6—2, 6—4, 6—2,but Tilden was sent the limit to beat Shimidzu, winning after losing the first two ets, 4—86, 5, 6—1. The victory of Tilden and Johnston was expected, but there were few, if any, followers of the sport who could have foreseen the splendid fight that Shimidzu put up against Tilden, Shi- midzu was within two points of win- ning the match from the world’s champion in straight sets. He led Til- den at 5—4 in games in the third set and worked the points up to deuce on his own service in the succeeding game. Only two winning strokes away was the goal that, had the won- derful little Japanese player been able to reach it, would have meant un- dying glory in one of the most re- markable upsets in the history of the Davis cup contests. Shimidzu never reached the goal. Tilden sliced the ball across court for one sizzling placement and followed with an_unplayable smash for thej other point that gave him the game and pulled him out of one of the most dangerous situations he has ever faced. He took the next game after Peuce had been called twice and finished out the set in the twelfth game with the loss of but a single point. Tilden at His Best. After that Shimidzu was never even close to victory. Tilden played the sort of tennis in the two concluding sets that has made him the monageh of the tennis world. The speed and decisiveness of stroking which he mustered to his cause in those two segsions were unsurpassable. Prob- ably nobody in the world, unless it might be Johnston, could have met such pace and such accuracy with a chance of victory. ; Shimidzu struggled valiantly on to the finish, but he was confronted by the most masterful tennis which the game’s supreme exponent is capable of playing and it was no wonder that he went down to defeat. His was a radiant performance and only the superlative of tennis skill could have beaten it. It stood out almost as greatly in_defeat as it might have in victory. His splendid resistance to the champion of champions should 1 be remembered to the glory of Japan | title, American champlon these bursts of speed resulted in numerous errors which helped to make Johnstons point winning easier. . 14000 See Matches.
