Part 4—4 Pages Rain @piNationa DOUBLE-HEADER IS LISTED WITH YANKS FOR TODAY ., Ruether and Coveleskie to Appear on Mound for World Champions, While Hoyt and Pennock Probably Will Toil for the Hugmen. BY JOHN EW YORK, July N and continued until after 4 Rames tomorrow the first beginning at 2 o'clock. B. KELLER. Nationals and Yankees arc to have a busy Sunday as a result of a shower that broke early this afternoon o'clock. They will hook up in two | A couple old-timers are to do the hurling for the world champions, | who are eager to keep at the heels of the league-leading Athletics. Walter Ruether, southpaw, who was slated to do the slabbing this after- noon, will face the Hugmen in the in Coveleskie, venerable spit ball artist, itial Sabbath encounter, while Stanley who has won his last 12 games, will | officiate on the mound in the second tilt. The dual bill will be the second the Nationals have attempted on a Sunday in recent years 10 a lone engagement Both teams were on the field for batting and fielding drills this after- noon when the rain descended For a time it seemed that it would be possible to play, but the shower fresh- «ned at 2:30 and forced the postpone Jment of hostilities.

New York Club No Pushover. So far this year the Nationals have played nine games in the big Yankee Stadium here and triumphed in five of them. The Yanks were fairly easy for the Washington outfit in the first series of the season here, but early in June the New Yorkers managed to play the champs to an even break, and now they appear strong enough to make matters very interesting for ‘Bucky Harris & Co. in the two re- maining battles. Just whom Miller Huggins will send against the Nationals is problemati- cal, but Waite Hoyt and Herb Pen- nock are ready for action and it would not be surprising to see those two pitchers selected for work to- morrow. Manager Harris Is Ailing. Had the champs played this after- noon they would have gone into bat- tle without their manager and regular second sacker in the line-up. This morning Bucky Harris was complain- ing of a cold/that had settled in his shoulders and he had decided to re- main idle for a day at least, while Spencer Adams toiled around the mid- dle station. But tonight the champs’ hoss felt much better and declared he would be ready to do his stuff in the Sunday dual bill. With the exception of Roger Peckin- vaugh, none of the other Nationals is ;umpluining of not feeling fit physi- bally. And Peck, even though his right thumb still is sore to the touch, really could play in an emergency. ‘Allen Russell, relief hurler, today announced that he has invested in a drug store chain in Boston and ex- pects to make that city his place of residence. The spit-baller has pur- chased a big block of stock in a con- cern that has operated successfully for several years in the Hub and may withdraw from base ball after this season is completed CUBS LOSE TO REDS, THEN SCORE EASILY By the Associated Press CHICAGO, July 25.—After losing the first game of a double-header to Cincinnati, 3 to 2, n 11 innings, Chi- cago, with Alexander pitching, came back in the second and held the Reds to three hits while his teammate drove Benton off the mound and won, % to 1.

Tilden in the Tllinois State singles semi-finals to- , interrupted his drive toward high tennis honors by an act of sportsmanship. : In the fifth and deciding set, with the games 5—2, Kinsey lead- ing, and the eighth game at 30-15, Tilden’s favor, the Cali- fornian hit a return that was too Jow to clear the net. The ball hit the tape, and both, Tilden and Kinsey were expecting it to fall back on the mear side, when it dropped slowly into Tilden’s court, and the point went to Kinsey, making the score L Then Tilden served, n‘lnd Kh-ym i made an_indiff net.

Lit- tle Bill was hitting hard and accu- rately, making few errors, while Til- den plainly showed the effects of his hard five-set battle against Kinsey. Is Brilliant Battle. The Tilden-Kinsey mat¢h was one of the most brilliant even seen here. For over two hours the mighty cham- pion held thousands of fans spell- bound at the wizardry of his shots, the uncanniness of his accuracy and his ability to hold his reserve in check to win out when the odds seemed hopelessly against him. The opening two sets went to Til den so easily that the match seemed one-sided, the champion simply push- ing the ball back over the net and letting Kinsey make the errors. Then Kinsey took a spurt in the third set and when he had a lead of 5—2 Tilden threw away a game so that he could profit by the rest period which came at the end of jthe third set. But Kinsey was not to be denied for a while in the fourth set and the the coast star ran out the set to even the match score, at a set aplece, 6—: - The fifth set was nerve wrecking. Kinsey, by placing well and shoving over his loop drive, which Tilden does mot like, the Californian ran into a 5—2 lead. In the next game with Tilden serving the score stood 30 all and the champion was again on the brink of defeat. But he was equal to the occasion and pulled out the game, though the crowd was pull- ing for Kinsey, whose- brilliant stand against the heavy odds of playing Tilden as he was today, brought the respect and gdmiration of the huge gallery. Tilden Hits Stride. Tilden pulled out his serve, then Kinsey's and then his own again, never being in danger during the last two games. The score was 5—3, and ‘the champion won Kinsey's de- m the lead. But Kin- count again, §—6.

Beside the Tilden-Kinsey affair, the Johnston victory over Wray Brown of St. Louis was tame. John- ston asserted his superiority with his famous forehand drive that was too fast for Brown to handle. Brown made several brilliant stands, but Johnston was the Johnston of old and not to be denied.

Ralph Brooks, Kansas heavyweight, Mon- day, today seemed pleased over the prospect of a match with Jack Dempsey. He said he had not received an of- fer from any fight promoter for a match with Demp: and asserted that he would not “fight for nothing.” “There's easier money around the country,” he said to a group of news- paper men. “If I fight for the cham- | plonship, I am willing, of course, to | fight for a reasonable figure, but it | will have to be a good one.” | Greb recounted that in a New York | symnasium four years ago he had| outboxed the champion decisively and said he could do it again. “I don't believe Dempsey is in as good condition right now as he was then,” Greb continued, “and I don't | believe he would put up as good a fight.” ARMY POLO TEAM WINS FROM RUMSON QUARTET RUMSON, N.
