McLoughlin of Francisco, the champion lawn tennis player of the world, will celebrate his twenty-fifth birthday today. The won- derful Californian was recently given the premier position among American players for the third consecutive time in his brief career. The selec- tion of McLoughlin for the American honors followed a long controvers; as the California ‘‘comet’” was defeat- ed at the Newport national ment by R. Norris Williams, although the latter showed inferior form in the Davis cup and other tournaments dunr- ing the year. In the last Davis cup competition, although the Australian team cap- tured the trophy emblematic world’s championship, McLoughlin defeated E. Brookes San spite of the defeat of the American team, composed of McLoughlin, R. Norris Williams and Thomas . Bun- ly, the brilliant play of the Califor- nian and his personal the Australian stars ing the the ary, ave him a stand- as the world's greatest player of racquet game. McLoughlin was only player during the prellmin- final and championship rounds best the hitherto invincible from the Antipodes, and he thereby clearly earned the title of world's champion. This has been generally recognized in England and Australia, where, ih the official tennis hand- McLoughlin has been ranked as the foremost player in the game. In the national championships at Newport Mcloughlin showed a com- plete reversal of form, while Wil liams, the Philadelphian, plaved the great game of his career. The Quak cr City man defeated the Californian in three straight sets, at 6-3, 8-6, 10-8 In his fourth appearance on the C(a- sino courts in champlonship matches, McLoughlin was clearly off his game. As he had taken the championship twice a victory meant permanent session of the trophy, and the Cali- fornian's failure to make good was the big tennis surprise of the cen- tury. In ranking the American players Tawn Tennis association, at ig meet- ing in New York last month, faced the difficult problem of deciding whether first place should go to the holder of the national championship or to tho man who had demonstrated, despite one failure, that he was the tennis star not only of America, but of the world. They finally decided in Mec. Loughlin's failure—a decision which met with general acceptance as being right and proper, although without any reflection on the brilllance of Willilam’s performance at Newport. The decision of the committee as to ranking gave Pacific Coast players the lead in all divisions, McLough- lin and Thomas C. Dundy standing at tourna- | of the | and | Anthony F.

It is altogether unlikely that Mc- Loughlin will have the opportunity of defending his right to the world's championship this year, as Anthony F. Wilding and Norman E. Brookes, who captured the Davis cup for Aus- tralia although both were defeated in singles by McLoughlin, are now soldiers and fighting at the front. MclLoughlin's coronation as king of the tennis world marks the first ap- pearance of an American player in that role, by the universal consent of the tennis critics of all nations. He has remained at the top in American tennis for three sucessive years in spite of the fact that when be began his championship career a rule was put into effect making it necessary for the champion to play through the national tournament, and champions | of past yvears had played only in the challenge world.

Dalton, alias “Curse-you-Jack Dalton" yesterday wrenched apart Charley Ebbets's all-.300 outfield, when took a hop, skip and a jump right into the midst of the Federal league. How- ever, Jack did not leap without a warning. He had been flirting out- rageously with Larry Schlafly, mana- ger of the Buffalo Feds, for some in Lawrence's Buffalo army. President W. E. Robertson and at the outfielder's home in Newark, and when Robertson returned to Buf- falo yesterday he carried back a two- rear contract from the slugging out- ielder. According to reports, Dalton re- ceived a bonus of $4,000 to sign and a contract calling for $1,000 more than the Brooklyn document under which he worked last season. yvesterday deposited hi; a trust company in Newark, where the outfielder makes his home. “Did you get a bonus of $4,20072" Dalton was asked in Newark last night. “It was very near that mark, and it sounds like a good guess,” replied Dalton. Dalton was not backward about ad- | | Behnke mitting that he had enlisted in Federal league army. ‘‘Yes, I have signed with the Buffalo Feds, and T intend to give them the best there is in me, as I think they are great peo- ple. “Gave Brooklyn First Chance.” “I have been contemplating this step for a long time, though [ gave the Brooklyn club first chance on my services. However, when the Brooklyn club failed to pay me the salary 1 thought my services were worth, I decided to accept the Fed- | eral league offer. 1 held off until Mr. Ebbets returned to Florida, but as he did not seem to be in any hurry |to talk business, I decided to hitch up with Schlafly. “You can say that my salary will be $1,000 more a season than Ebbets paid me last year, while I have been given a substantial bonus to cast my lot with the new league. However, I have not signed with the Federal league, but with the Buffalo Federal League club.” Dalton added that Charley Ebbets kept him guessing about his Brook- lyn salary, and that he really did not know the top figure which Eb- bets would have paid him. “But he waited too long to decide what he would do,” concluded “Curse-You. Jack.” There is no denying that the Brook- lyn club will miss Dalton, as he was a greatly improved ballplayer last year. Dalton batted hard and con- sistantly all season, leading the Na- tional league for the greater part of the campaign. He also showed great improvement in the outfield, and until he injured a leg he appeared one of the com- ing stars of the league. He took part in 128 games last season, hitting .319., while he had a fielding average of .965 He made 141 hits, including thirteen doubles, eight triples and one home run. the “Not Running After Players.” President Charley Ebbets, Sr., of the Superbas, could not be located last night, but Charley, Jr.. secretary of the club, pinch-talked in his stead. Ebbets, Jr., had no official knowl- edge that Dalton had jumped father's ball club, but admitted ie had heard something to that effect. “However, whether Dalton jumps or not, you can say for me that the Brooklyn club will open the season just the same,” said Charles, Jr. *If Dalton wanted to do any b ness with the Brooklyn club he knew where our offices are located. We do not be- lieve in running after our players.” Ebbets, Jr., further said that though Daiton’s contract had expired the club held an option to his ser- vices by of the option in his last season’s contract.

It’s the real old toothsome pie for you, too, when you get hold of LIBERTY tobacco. You're never mussed up when you've got LIBERTY. It's a rich, sweet, healthy smoke or chew; and the printer is glad of a chance to use printer’s ink to tell the rest of the world how good it is. LIBERTY is a prime favorite with printers and all live, hustling he-boys who know . and like a smoke or a chew of real man’s tobacco. And LIBERTY is always the same—al- ways satisfying. We don't let LIBERTY go out of the factory until it has been aged from three to five years, so that all the rich, mellow, nat- ural sweetness of its Kentucky leaf is at its best. bone to it. When you're tobacco hungry, you want clean, honest juicy tobacco with some back- You never see a LIBERTY user switch to some other brand. He knows nothing can compare with LIBERTY for downright tobacco satisfaction. A week’s trial of LIBERTY will prove this to you— will make you a permanent user of LLIBERTY.
