HILADELPHIA, September 5.—Now that the Nationals’' losing P streak has been “broken,” the boys are all set and ready to climb, out of the rut of monotonous defeat, and by resuming their win- ning ways of a month ago Mmake a belated but none the less deter- mined effort to crawl back into the position from which they have been ousted by the St. Louis Browns, and which means a slice in the post- season melon, which is due to be put on “thirty days from date,” and will be cut about two weeks later. 3 The Thrill That Comes Once in a Lifetime. —By WEBSTER.

Not Strongeat Four. | The American player believes that a | four made up of Lord Wodehouse, Lord Dalmeny, John Trafil and Walter Buck- master would have beaten the team which actually defended the trophy and would have given the Americans 2 much better contest. Again, Lord Wimborne, | Whose success in obtaining mounts for the British invasion of the Uhited | States In 1914 was so signal in its re- sults,’ was not’named as a member of the cup defense committee until it w: too late for him to do anything cor structive in mounting the English play- ers. Responsibility for this is placed b the correspondent on Lord Haig, com. mander of the British army in the world war, and now head of the Hurl- ingham Club. 1t is understood that he has abandoned some of his views s to the pre-sminence of army men and that In the interests of the next British invasion of the United States in quest of the international trophy he will sub- scribe to a_movement looking toward the development of solidarity , among military and civilign players. Prince Fools Them. No crowd of Americans, of course, could visit for any length of time in England without bringing back some stories calculated to- inspire, at least, a smile. Our polo players have proved | themselves no exception. One story relates to Louis Stoddard, who played such a brilliant game at No. 1 on the American four. The team was invited to meet the Prince of Wales at luncheon. The American players, modishly garbed in cutaways, top hats and the like, had just a rived, when the prince strolled in, dressed in a sack suit. “Pshaw, fellows, I'm sorry,” he said. “I get o tired dressing that I wanted this to be informal. I meant to tell “L wish you had, sir,” remarked Stoddard. “This is the third time I've hired this suit to meet you. BELGIAN WINS BIKE RACE.

J., September Bryan Downey of ~Cleveland and Johnny Wilson of Bostor came here today ‘from their training camps to scttle their dispute over the world middleweight boxing title in the pine bowl on Boyles' Thirty Acres. Both welghed in at 160 pounds, the required Wweight, at 10 o'clock #nd declared themselves it for the fray. In their last bout in Cleveland Downey floored Wilson twice and claimed the refcree's slow counting, on the knockdowns prevented him from annexing the champlonship. Th referee claimed ‘Wilson had hee; fouled and awarded him the decislon. The Massachusetts hoxing commission upheld the referee, a Boston man, while the Cleveland commission awarded Downey the title. The men will box twelve rounds without & decision this afternoon, and Downey must defeat Wilson by a knockout in order to be recognized a§ the titlehalder. Both pugilists have trained hard for six weeks and. as- serted they would try to end the fight inside of six rounds. 3 A Panama Joe Gans, holder of the ne- gro middleweight championship beit; lnr?’ Mike McTigue, the Irish pugilist, wi meet in the semi-final ‘bout, a| R\Lfiyt\;@t‘ % * i3 tl O c | s insures him an BEhed “twely 11 falr. 1!&:;;_—‘ t) ‘“mfifif Bult- fly< 'flval:ht” amp will meet Indian COACHING AT ILLINCIS EXPLAINED E PERRY.
