All try are on hand and some spirited games are anticipated. One hundred l'and twenty-eight players are entered, | and the majority of them will struggle for the title. Compared with past rec- ords, this is by no means a large cutry list and, considering the season’s ten- nis boom, it is surprising and grati- fying to find that the tournament has | the crack racket wielders of the coun- ” been kept within such reasonable limits. Unquestionably the new sys- tem of making entries only through the secretaries of recognized clubs has been completely successful, for every prominent player within reach of New York is in the list, with the single exception of William J. Clothier of Phildelphia, a former national champion. Clothier, however, an- nounced early in the season that he would not take part in any of the big tournaments thi He is now in camp at Plattsburg.

It is rumored in politic diplomatic circles that Fred Clarke has no im. mediate intention of committing sui- cide because Benton was awarded to the Giants. After watching the Rube operate against the Pirates Mr. Clarke will make a tremendous effort to bear up under the rude blow. The East at Home, When the four Eastern clubs came back home two weeks ago their chances for the pennant depended almost entirely upon the margin they were able to put away against the September campaign through the West. The Giants broke completely and dropped from the running. Brooklyn, after a good start, fell well below her last home stand in July, and is now ment committec for making constant use of the twenty-four courts, there is reason to believe that the entire event may be finished within a week’s time. But there will be extra attractions in the challenge round of the national doubles, with McLoughlin and Bundy defending their title against W. M. Johnston and C. J. Griffin, and in a special mixed doubles tournament and a team match between the east and the west. TIllustration No. 1 shows Maurice McLoughlin, No. 2 Thomas 0. 3 R.

Chick Evans, one of the greatest 2mateurs in the land, is facing another title test. As we recall the circum- stance, Chic has been shooting at the top for at least eight years without success, and after ecach failure he has started counting the days until his next chance came, Few appreciate the abounding yearning Evans has to win an amateur title. Perhaps it is the very intensity of his longing which acts as a barrier to success. He is so terribly anxious to win that each close match brings up the thought of another long year’s wait, and this undoubtedly cuts into his game. He has a course well suited to his game at Detroit, a course that re- quires accurate play and abilitiy to get distance from the tee. It is the best chance Chick has had since he up against the proposition of playing her head off on the road to finish first —an assignment that has been be- yona@ her capality all season. The Phillies have done their home work well, but it is the Braves who have again become most prominently mentioned as the final winners. At Pittsburg, the main hope of the ‘West, slipped badly, the only chancee for any trans-Allegheny entry to win will be in the utter collapse of Phil- lies, Dodgers and Braves in the Sep- tember stretch. There is very little probability that all three will break, so the odds now are that the West niust wait at least another year be- fore she enters a National league club in the world series—her last entry being the Cubs of 1910. The Red in- vasion put a mighty dent in Brooklyn’s pink and white dream, for .the Dodgers fell where they were expected to gain ground. So if it isn’t Phila- Gelphia and Boston through the stretch you can toss the dope over- board again as being exccss baggage. vears ago.

Take the case of Freddie Welch. Welch beat Ritchie in London some fourteen months ago, and since that time he has done nothing but through easy matches, playing it safe- 1y to the last tap and thereby wreck- ing all interest in the lightweight game. A man like Welch should be forced to defend his title—to fight or forfeit. fell in the final round at Chicago, three ! stall | interest maintained through any division.
