EW YORK, Septembe: J—Absorbing a 9 to 3 reverse today, the N sixth in succession frdin Miller Huggins' ches'y crew, the sad record of the Nationals now is nine straight setbacks and, delving | a little deeper in the recent past, twelve defeats in the last th'rteea games played.

Johnston is considered by most experts to be the best tennis player in the world. He is not as spectacular as Tilden, but his game is steadier. If he possessed a more rugged physique he would be unbeatable. In England, France and Australia Johnston is looked upon as a much better player than Tilden. But it is a rare occasion when a champion comes back. It is seldom done in athletics. McLoughln couldn’t do it. Neither could Mary Browne nor Mrs. May Sutton Bundy. RIVAL NORTHEAST NINES | TIED FOR SECTION TITLE| R ENROC ATHLETIC CLUB and Roamer Athletic Club, rival north- east nines, will battle at Washington Barracks Tuesday for the right to represent Section B of the junior division in the inter- sectional games scheduled this week in the series for the independent sandlot base ball championships. Playing against the Leviathans on Randle Field yesterday, the Renrocs triumphed easily, 12 to 1, and went sectional leadership. Each has won into a tie with the Roamers for the five games and lost one. Much credit is due Shrimp Griffith, 112-pound right-hand pitcher, for Renroc’s victory. The littie hurler held the Leviathians to six hits and contributed a pair of safeties that af- fected his team's run column. In scoring his fourth win in the series Griffith fanned eleven batters, bring- ing his strike-out total for the cham- plonship contests to thirty-nine. The Renrocs sewed up the game when they drove Webb from the slab while tally- ing njne runs in the sixth inning. All Sections In Title Round.

The lat- ter will be eliminated, however. should the Gibs beat the Emeralds Tuesday in the play-off of a tie game. If the Gibs lose they will have to face the Westovers for the honors. 3 In the junior division it will be Northeast against Southwest. The team that will encounter the Roamers or Renrocs will be the Aztec Athletic Club, one of the island’s sturdiest ag- gregations. These same parts of the city will be opponents in the midget division, where the Linworths of Sec- tion B represent Southwest and the Warwicks of Section A will carry the | Northeast colors.

Americans Greatly Superior. The victory of the American dou- bles pair, which culminated In the re- tention of the cup against the chal- lengere of twelve nations, was not as closely fought out as the scores would apiear to indicate. Williams and Washburn, as a team, were clearly superior to Kumagae and Shimidzu, particularly in the finality of their strokes. Streaks of erratic playing and error-making at times marred the play of the victors. The Japan- ese. however, while they stroked the ball with the same care and effective- ness in their singles play, did not pair well together. They were frequently thrown out of position or lined up in the middle of the court. where they interfered with the freedom of each other’s strokes. It was on. their earned points that the Americans won, and it was in the scoring of thesc placement and serv- ice aces that they showed clearly su- perior to their oriental opponents. In addition Williams and Washburn were a comparatively evenly balanced team which could not be saiu of the Jap- anese. ¥ b There was but four points differ- jence in the earned honors of the Americans, whereas Kumagae had al- most twice as many as Shimidzu. To ofiset this, however, Kumague Wwas less steady than his teammate and the Japanese made less errors than the Americans. due in part to their tendency to avoid taking chances for a winning smash. While Williams and Washburn had the same number of placements to their credit, Wil- liams plied up far more errors thun l:e New Yorker. The same was truc i a general way of Kumagae, whe tried at times to make a forcing figh. against the winners. Storm Delays Match. The match was played under difl. culties, a terrific thunderstorm inte. vening at the end of the third set delaying play for almost two hour Both teams were given a noisy greet ing at the end of play. the handclap ping and applause continuing fo several minutes after the winnin stroke had been made, notwithstana ing that the match did not produ the sensational volleys and strokin of the ball which the spectators hu hoped for. - - After the teams returned to th clubhouse Kumagae, as the capiai of the challenging nation. said th he and his teammate were very we. satistied with the result of Japan first appearance in the role of a Dayi cu}ll challenger. e said further that they wer: pleased and proud to have reach.. the challenge round and would ente a_ team for the cup mnext gy, Kumagae said that they were veloping a number of new playe. in Jupan and that there would i much surprise in the United s: Wwhen they came to this country a: it was realized the rapid strides 14 tennis was making in Japan. o Mile.
