Many contend there should be a grand reorganization next winter, when the Southern league may be put back to the level of the other big minor leagues, while the Western league, the only other Class A league, may be dropped to Class B, or left to roam alone in its present Class A rating. The tip that Toronto was getting ready for major league, first men- tioned two weeks ago, was confirmed last ¥riday, when Ban Johnson visit- ed Toronto, and spoke to some of the burghers about the availability of their city as a big league town. If Toronto does not get into the major leagues in some way next sea- son Ban will have put his foot in It again. If the war goes on, and organized baseball does not start the new major league, Toronto may take Johnson’s word about its fitness for major league ball and support the club which the Federals intend plac- ing in Toronto next season. However, in the event of either peace or war next season, Toronto is pretty sure of getting big league ball. If hostilities continue the Feds will have an outlaw major league team there, and if the Feds are absorbed by O. B. Toronto will get a place in the remodeled third major league.

(Continued from Eighth Page.) Australians together for the final, but | the team from the United States was the stronger, taking all five matches. America, however, struck a surprise in the challenge round against the kinglish team. Clothier had been added to the American team to strengthen it, but England made a sweep of five straight matches, though all were close and hard Three of the five matches went to five sets and the other to four sets, at- testing the bitterness of the struggle. Series of 1906, In 1906 America and | again reached the finals, and once more America triumphed, this time by three games to two, and earned the right to play England. The team from the United States was com- posed of Ward and Wright, Alexan- der Little and Kreigh Collins, a strong combination. Unfortunately, all chance for America was lost when just on the eve of =sailing Beals Wright met with an accident. The team went to England for the match- es, but handicapped as it was, it proved no match for the cup holders, and lost five straight victories. Series of 1907. With the retirement of the Doherty brothers there was a grand struggle for the trophy in 1907, and America had an excellent chance to win, But Australia had reached the top of the game at last, and Wilding and Brookes, meeting the American team, composed of Wright and Karl Behr, won by three matches to two. Brookes won both his contests in singles, de- feating Wright and Behr, Wright, however, after losing to Brookes. beat Wilding. In doubles: Australia clinched the contest. Then Australla proceeded to capture the Davis cup for the first time by winning from kngland, holder, by the same sco'e as in the America match, Series of 1908. In 1908 America made the most strenuous effort to bring the cup back from Australia and only failed by the narrowest of margins, The United States team first plaved Eng- land at the Longwood Tennis club to decide which team should go to Australia. The Unitea States was represented by Beals Wright, Larned, Hackett and Alexander. The Americans won three out of four singles matches and took th» doubles. Larned defeated both Ritchie and Parke, while Wright lost to Ritchie after taking the measure of Parke. Hackett and Alexander took the doubles. America then selected Wright and Alexander to take the long trip to Australia for the matches. It was considered a hopeless quest with Wilding and Brookes still at their height, but the brilliant playing of Wright almost gave the United States the. cup. That player downed both Wilding and Brookes. Alexander lost both his contests, and it remained for the doubles to decide the issue. Australia won the first two sets and then America braced, capturing two straight sets and putting it up to the fifth set to decide. This Australia managed to capture, six to four. Serics of 1909, In 1909 England sent C. P. Dixon, W. C. Crawley and J, C. Parke as a team to play America for the right to g0 to Australia for the matches, This contest was played at German- town Cricket club, September 11, 13 and 14. America won all five matches. W. J. Clothier defeated both Parke and Dixon in straight sets, Larned won from the same players, likewise in straight sets. H. H. Hackett and R. D. Little took the doubles cham- pionship. America then deputed its two youthful stars to make the trip to Australia, Maurice . McLoughlin, now the champion eof America, and Melville H. Long. Later in the year these matches were played and the American youths were beaten five matches. In 1910 tennis was at a standstill, Australia REDUCEMENTS ARE GREAT BARGAINS ARE MIGHTY. APPAREL FOR ALL.

Series of 1911, England sent its team to New York again in 1911 to meet America for the right to challenge Australia. In this contest America triumphed, four matches to one. Both Larned and McLoughlin took their two singles contests, In the doubles Dixon and Beamish, of England, took Little and Tom Bundy into camp. McLoughlin, Larned and Beals Wright then took the trip to Australia as the challenging combination. America looked to have a good chance but failed dismally, Brookes and Heath each winning two matches, Larned and Wright being beaten in singles. The United States also lost the dou- bles match, Brookes and Dunian downing McLoughlin and Wright. Series of 1912, The following year America made no effort to put a team into compe- tition for the cup. The British team, however, took the measure of France and sailed for Australia. There un- expectedly the Englishmen recaptured the Davis cup by winning three out of five matches, The feature of these contests was the brilliant play of J. C. Parke, who defeated the great Brookes on his own court and also won from Heath. Dixon beat Heath and lost to the Australians, who won the doubles. ries of 1913, Back to starting came this famous the tory of the matches, England, the holder, United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Bel- gium, South Africa and rance had teams in competition, necessitating many trials before the final Ger- many opened the competition by de- feating Irance three out of four matches, The Australians came to the United States for their trial matches, country was repre- sented by Mairice McLoughlin, R. Norris Williams, H. E. Hackett and Wallace Johnson. McLoughlin first won from Rice in straight sets and Williams took three out of four from Doust. In doubles Rice and Hackett defeated McLoughlin and Hackett three out of five sets. McLoughlin and Willlams then clinched matters by winning single matches, The Americans then went to Eng- land to meet Germany. McLoughlin began with a victory over Froitzheim, three out of five sets, and Williams took Kruetzer into camp in four sets. M. McLoughlin and Hackett then added a double victory and Williams and Wallace Johnson single victories, making five straight, This made United States a formidahle con- tender. point cup last summer :fter keenest competition in the his- In addition to Th Canadians Finalists. Mecanwhile Canada had disposed of South Africa and Relgium in or- der and worked its way into the finals against the United States. The team from this country made a won- derful sweep, winning the first two singles matches and the double con- | test so easily that the Canadians de- faulted the other two single contests. Williams defeated Schwergers, of Canada, in three straight sets. Mc- Loughlin repeated the dose to Powell, and then McLoughlin and Hackett | clinched the argument by winning in doubles three straight. The American team in the chal- lenge contest against England was the same as in the preliminaries, while : Great Britain defended with J. .. Parke, C. P. Dixon and H. Roper Barrett. While America won by three matches to two, the individual honors went to Parke, the English star, who defeated both Willlams and McLoughlin in singles, The only thing that saved America and won the Davis cup for it was the unexpectedly strong showing of the doubles team, McLoughlin and Hackett, that turned the tide. SHAKE.UP IN NEW HAVEN, New Players Coming and Others Are Scheduled to Go. ew Haven is in a state of tip-toe expectancy, it having been announced that three new players, “who are bound, ladies and gents, to put de club back where it belongs,” are on the road leading to that town. The men were signed by Owner George Cameron, who is In a Chicago hos- pital doing an imitation of a sieve, and Jerry Connell, George's man ¥ri- day, doesn’t know their names. But he is certain that they are fast men. As soon -as the new players arrive there is going to be a very clangor- ous nolse around Savin Rock which will convey the impression that a ragman is leaving a dump pile with a bag full of empty cans on his back. Mangus and Chancey, out- fielders, are expected to draw blue tickets by one of the New Haven pa- pers. White and Smith of the pitch- ing staff are also picking out soft spots on which to fall and even Miller and Sherwood may be given the hook. Clauss and Williams, two semi-pro twirlers who were given a tryout, have been made to loop the loop. ADVERTISING NEW LONDON Mr. Millionaire Plant's efforts to advertise New London by giving it a first-class baseball club are evidently bearing fruit in at least one quarter. A New York writer, who poses as an authority on all things sporting knows New London has a ball club and he knows it to the exclusion of most of the other clubs of the circuit. In fact he seems to know a lot about it that isn't 0. A few days ago he related the wonderful deeds Bennie Kauff had done with the bat while a mem- ber of the New London team, whereas writers around the eircuit always as- sumed that Kauff was really a mem- ber of the club that paid his salary, Hartford, and that the club in this circuit with which he had previously played was Bridgeport. Now the same writer has been dilating on the iron man feats of Reggie Brown as a member of the New London club though those in closer touch had not known that Brown and New London were members of the league at the same time.—Springtield Union, JOHNSTON. Tennis Artists to Contend for Second Leg on Longwood Bowl. Boston, July 2 ~Posgession of a second leg on the Longwood bowl was the prize for which Maurice Mec- Loughlin, challenger, and William M. Johnston, holder of the trophy, both of San Francisco, were to contend on the lawn tennis courts of the Long- wcod Cricket club toda This is the fifth bow!l offered by the club in its twenty-four years of tournaments, Three were captured by William A. Larned and another by Malcolm D. Whitman, both former national cham- plons. The first leg on the present | bewl was won by K. P. Larned, brother of the former champion, in 1911, He was defeated by McLough- lin in 1912. Last year Johnston won the tournament and McLoughlin de- fuulted owing to his apsence in Eng- land as a member of the Davis cup team, McLoughlin has come through his six matches in the present tourna- ment without losing a set and was a strong favorite today. Johnston has been at Longwood for a week and has had daily practice, McLOUGHLIN V! GAF NEY GETS PITCHER. James E.

TELLING IT TO BILD, The New London Day of yesterday prints the following anent Bill Pow- ers: “What appears to be a well-founfls ed rumor is in circulation in baseball circles, the tenor of which is that i#f Bill Powers does not speedily mend his ways he will draw a 30 days’' sus- pension, minus his monthly salary. “Powers, who i& the best hurlér in the league when right, of late has been traveling at a pretty fast elip outside working hours, according to cireulation. This has shown itself in hix work on the mound to such an extent that Manager Mc- Cann has handed him a couple of stiff calls in the last ten days.
