All of the cleverest members of the fair sex are scheduled to face one another befare the series draws to an end. Molla Bjurstedt, who won last year's title from Mrs. G. W. Wightman, will de- fend her laurels against all comers. ist In fact, many experts of the game pick her as the greatest clay court player the game has ever developed. This is quite a declaration when it is taken into consideration that such sterling players as Miss May Sutton, now Mrs, Thomas C. Bundy, and Mis ary Browne are included in the list of former clay court title holders. As . the case last season, Miss Bjur- stedt will be called upon to meet the best women tennis players of the country—Mrs. G, W. Wightman, Mrs. Barger-Wallach, Miss Myrtle Me- Ateer, all champions of thi; vious years, as well as r pions of middle west, M Martha Gu- thrie and Miss Mary Snyder of Pitts- { i at Cleveland | finds Eddie Collins below | player. ‘When Thumbs Are Down, You’ll find that most of them around Would rather knock than boast; | You’ll] find the poisoned barbs come thick The higher that you roost; ' But you can gather in this balm And cherish it as such— { They rarely ever pan a guy | Who doesn’t matter much, You'll find the Anvil Chorus rules The bulk of any map; You'll find that very few of them Pass up a chance to rap; But you can take this to your soul And let it dally there, They very rarely pan a bloke Who doesn’t get somewhere.

As to Bennie Kauff, It would be simpler to brand Rennie Kauff as a failure if this was an ordinary year with the dope run- ning level. But when one looks around and .250, Frank Baker below .260, Stuffy McInnis be- low .220, Johnny Evers, Sherwood Magee and Fred Luderus below . it is rather hard to say that Bennie around .250 is an utter fizzle.

That Punch Again. “It’s the old wallop that rules the game, baseball with the others,” sug- gests a contemporary. This always sounds good, even though it slips upon the Stairway of Truth and comes on down to the cellar. Just at present you don’t happen to i see the Cubs in the first division. Yet they are leading the league in batting | by several points. This is only a de- tail. They also lead in long hits and extra bases by a fairly tidy margin. And who are the first four sluggers of | the league: Williams, of Chicago; Doyle, of New York; Schulte, of Chi- cago, and Zimmerman, of Chicago. This isn’t far gway from a com- plete monopoly of the so-called wal- 1op. But it hasn’t lifted the Cubs into | the first division yet, much less first place. The wallop is an important rart of baseball, but it isn’t the en- tire game by a number of marine leagues. Why “No Credit?” Even if Moran should knock out Dillon, we have been told, very httle credit for beating a smaller ‘man. Which is our fiotion of bunk in purest form. Dmon is regarded as| one of the lou" t customers in the game. He has share of skill, the stamina and th@%punch. He is a r.atural fighter, who has more than beld his own against many of the best. Admitting that he is 25 pounds lighter than Moran and several inches shorter, any man who knocks out Jack Dillon in ten rounds will deserve all the credit he can carry. Bob Fitzsimmons was 40 or 50 pounds lighter than Jim Jeffries when they meet, but the Califarnia bear was awarded plenty of credit for knock- | Fighters are r1easure more by fighting ability than merely by so many pounds. CHICLE WINS NDICAP. Brooklyn, June 29.—A new thog- oughbred star made its appearance vesterday in the three-year-old di- vision, when Harry Payne Whitney’s imported Chicle won the twenty- eighth annual running of the Brook- lyn Derby, which was the feature of | the racing at the Aqueduct track. An- ' other English horse, A. K. Macom- | ber's Star Hawk, was second, with | Foxhall P. Keene's Churchill third. Friar Rock, winner of the Brooklyn Handicap, Suburban, and Belmont, was a poor fifth. NEARLY A CHAMPION. Dr. G. W. Dunn nearly became city | champion at tennis yesterday, the only thing that prevented this occur- ring, was the playing of Stanley Shel- don, which defeated the physician three sets in the final round of the | Y. M. C. A. tournament. The scores were, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1. 5 RELEASE SMITH.

The | game was queer because the visitors ! showed three pitchers, all of whom acted queerly, the warm wave prob- ably getting them. Rieger could not get by the third inning safely, Chief Ero, former Springfield City leaguer, went down in the sixth and Mulren- | man went down in the sixth and all | the other innings that he figured in. | The game developed into a burlesque | because the visiting pitchers had poor | control of the ball and when they did | get the ball over the plate it was us- | | ually hammered to remote corners. | The score: .‘ Springfleld | Bridgeport 002040000 Batteries: Justin and Stephens Rieger, Ero, Mulrenman and Murphy.
