Norris Wil- liams 2d, national champion, in the challenge round _for the Longwood bowl, The red headed California “comet’ crushed Williams under a score of 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, This gave the Pacific coast star the match and his third leg on the famous Long- wood bowl, which is now his ¥to! have and to hold” forever. Playing conditions could hardly have been worse than when ‘the two greatest exponents of the game in this coun- try took the court to decide the old question of supremacy. The courts were sodden when the match began, and during the second set a light rain began to fall and continued to the end. Both men slipped and sprawled about the court, and the playing sur- face looked like a plowed field long before the final point was scored. Al- though Williams seemed the more upset by the heavy and uncertain footing, the conditions were as fair for one as the other, and McLoughlin easily demonstrated his superiority. Williams and McLoughlin will clash in the national tourney, to be held at Forest Hills, Aug. 28 to Aug 30 Judging by the present form of tho men McLoughlin should experience little difficulty in capturing the cham- pionship. Last vear Williams won it from McLoughlin. mah A. C,, sccond; Fred C. Thomson, Los Angeles A. C., third; E. Knou rich, Tllinois A. C., fourth. Time, 12 seconds. 400 METER RUN. First Heat—Won by A. H.

Boston at Decatur, 11, Aug. 10.—The play- ers on the Decatur Three I Baseball club with the exception of Manager Duggan and Pitcher McCabe, went on a strike yesterday and refused to play Bloomington, when they did not receive their salaries in full from the club. One player, it was said, got his check in full and other members of the team took exception to this. Man- ager Lindsay of Bloomington con- sented to playing two games tomor- row and today's game was not for- feited. i the PORT LIGHT % Grantland Rice Speaking of Pitchers, Johnson carries a bale of smoke: Marquard’s slant has a two-foot drop: Rucker You said it, Kid, Some Bloke— One of the best in the pitching crop; Alexander, the reigning prize, Out there winning and alwzys good— Slip it along to the leading Euys— And then again—there’'s named Wood.

We've heard a lot about Joe Wood's lame arm this season. We wish our {ypewriter was busted in the same spot. The Cause of the Rumpus. A number of -highly disgruntled fanatics have written in to inquire as to the main cause of all bitter warring spirit shown upon the ball flelds of the Nattonal league this campaign; as to why umpires are being drawn into daily broils and personal, as well as impersonal, combats are delng staged upon the peevish athletes. Making no excuses for said athletes, the answer is what Carlyle or the equally late Mr. Shelley would call a double-coppered cinch. Never before in all baseball history has any such closely-fought, hectic war been waged for a pennant among so many clubs. There has never been un occasion in th past wnen six clubs came tumbling on into August all within easy shooting distance of the top. Now the athletes all realize that the days of big money In baseball are waning: that a period of retrench- ment is at hand in the near future, vrhen $10,000 salaries are to be pruned at both ends and chopped In the ruiddle. Knowing this, all hands now in the hunt are looking forward with keen cagerness to the $2,600 or $3,000 pot 10 be awarded each club mm the next world series. Three thousand dollars lcoks larger now to the athlete than it ever looked before. And where all clubs have a chance, or where at least six are almost on even terms, the struggling combatants figure that each run may mean a ball game, and that every ball game may mean a pennant in a close drive under the wire. Under these rabid conditions each decision from an umpire takes on added impor- tance for each decision may mean a shft of that $3,000 in the wrong di- rection—$3,000 to the man—not to the club. This is no excuse for rowdy conduct on the field, but understanding human nature, which nobody does, it is fairly easy to see just why the earnest ath- lete gets worked up to a frenzy and a froth until the bubbles begin to pop in his brawny neck. Over in the A. L. There is no such bitter warfare in the American league for two reasons— 1. Only three clubs in that circuit have a chance and the other while desiring to win, have no world series kale to key them up. 2. They know approximately upon what por- tion of their persons-Ban Johnson will ight if they get too gay and festive with his umpires. five, Maxims of the 19tn Hole. He who hath a supple wrist |is greater than he who hath a neck like a rhinoceros. For what doth it profit a bloke to gain a 300-yard drive and lose a 2-foot putt? The Kinks of Dope. What are records worth? You can frisk us for any coherent answer. The Phillies have been leading the Nation- al League for some time. Yet they are last in team batting, next to last runs scored, a bad last in stolen ses and fourth in flelding. On the other hand, or opposite paw, Reds are tied for first place in team batting and are nrst in team ficlding. Batting ana rielding are supposed to be two falrly important gections of baseball as it is playved. But here is the evidence, from which you can do your own unravelling. For a long spell it looked to be al- most a certainty that one of the four stern clubs would fintsh first in the National League. But Pittsourg and Chicago take the stretch at home, where Pittsburg alone has twenty- three September affairs for Forbes Field, and it is just as well to recall the circumstances that this season most of the winning has been done upon the home sod. Ir the Braves, Phillies, Giants and Dodgers—or any one of them—finds it mpossible to pack away a big iead from mid- August to September, what show have they of outsprinting the Cubs and Pirates down the stretch, with all fouy Eastern clubs spending the greater a bloke | part of SBeptember upon strictly hostile and allen soll, But, for that matter, amy dope on this National league just at present is a joke. There isn't even the sem- blance of a guess yet in s:ight, RED SOX CONTINUE T0 CLAMB UPWARD Carrigan’s Men Still Winning— Look Like Pennant Winners Boston, Aug. 10.—Boston won from | St. Louis yesterday by a score of 2 to 0 in a game called at the end of ‘the eighth inning because of rain.

J., Aug. 10.—Maurige McLoughlin, with his shoek of aubmen hair, his happy grin, and his bullet serve, flashed into the eastern tennis | world yesterday in quest of the Achelis cup. The Californian has come east this trip to vindicate himself for last year's defeat in the “national” by R. Norris Willlams. His start today was more in the way of a tuning up for the big tournament at Forest Hills the last of this month. The scarlet tanager from the coast doesn’t néed much tun« ing. He's fit right now The Achelis cup is just at present | in the possession of R. Norrie Williams and “Maurie” wants it, and wants it badly before the end of the week. In | fact, “Mac” would liké to get évery N cup that Willlams has. McLoughlin warmeéd up in the first round yesterday by defeating six fept three inches of Lyle B. Mahan %e won without overexertirig himself a great deal, 6—4, 6—1. Mahan made McLoughlin play in the first.set, and twice broke through his sérvice. The towering Mahan was by no means a cnich for the Californian, and many times he outwitted his nimble oppon- ent in such a way as to leave Me- Loughlin grinning with a slight em- barrassment, ) } McLoughlin was seemingly i1l at ease at times on the left side of the court, and in the fifth game of the first set Mahan's service was puzsling to the westerner, so that Mahan went through to a smashing victory at 9—7. 1In the second set, the sixth game dallied from deuce to Mahan's advantage many times before he fined- Iy pulled the game out of the fire, 11—9. It was here, also, | that he played for all he was worth at Me- Loughlin’s disadvantage in the left side of the court. “Mac's” back hand strokes here were seemingly half hearted compared with the uncanny intuition of his snappy returns laterin the match. Once or twice McLoughlin let him« self out and he was the same fascinat- ing, picturesque smasher and player, the most interesting figure in the teps nis world. There he goes, poised gracefully on his left toe, his eves turned skyward riveted on the white | ball. .He neither jumps nor reaphes; he fairly bounds upward. ‘There is the sharp twong of the rabguet and i the ball whizzes down over the pet. It would seem that it would ¥airly tear up the smooth, green“tuft, but it doesn’t. It hardly touches the grass befors it bounds a low, tantalizing bound, bare 1y high enough for Mahan to pry his racquet under it. There is a com- mendable effort on Mahan's part‘*to get it back, but it smashes disastrous- ly into the net. Then McLoughlin grins, goes back to his service and bounds up at it again You'd think that Mahan would be tall enough to stretch up for anything within the court, but time and again McLoughlin lobbed the ball just high enough over his head to thwart His best intentions. He had Mahan eov- ering a lot of ground chasing the bgll in futile effort. He made him run himself into defeat. McLoughlin has brought a new youngster from the coast with him this trip. He is Ward Dawson, whi will play with him in the doubles. Dawson is twenty-four years old, but dqesn’t like to be called a boy any (Continued on Page T\‘el\'e.YQ Brew is a special Brewery Bottled product that's ALL quality.
