TENNIS CHAMPS LOSE Johnston Beaten by Throckmorton, 36 38 .379 .333 ‘Who in Turn Loses to Murray— Church Goes Down Before Garland. Utica, July 21.—Upsets of a most sensational character ushered in the opening day of play in the men's Red Cross round robin singles and doubles lawn tennis tournament yesterday on the clay courts of the Yahnundasis Golf Club. As an instance of the way things went, it may be mentioned that Will- jam M. Johnson, national title holder of 1915 and ranked a' No. 2 last year, was defeated at 6—0, 6—4, by Harold A. Throckmorton, national interschol- astic champion, a youth ranked only in the second ten. Almost paralleling this reversal of form was the downfall of George M. Church, No. 3 in the national ranking of 1916, at the hands of young Chuck Garland, of Pittsburgh, a player sev- eral degrees removed from the first flight. Garland triumphed by a score of 10—8, 6—4. If Johnston was unable to uphold the prestige of his native Californi, Robert Murray, another son of the Golden West, gave proof of his power by winning thelonly singles match he played today, defeating Throckmorton in a brilliant three-set encounter by a score of 1—6, 6—3, 6—1. Murray, who is now a resident of the East, did not strike into his best pace until the last game of the first set. Then he flashed to the fore, volleying splendid- ly from forecourt, smashing with a world of speed and viciousness and covering an amazing amount of ground as he raced about the court af- ter Throckmorton’s placement shots. The California Meteors work re- minded those who watched of the days in 1914, when Murray first astonished the East by his whirlwind style of play. McGRAW H:EAR%NG CDOSES. TFinley Testifies in Repudiated Interview Case. New York, July 21.—The hearing before the National league directors on the repudiation of alleged news- paper interviews by Manager John J. McGraw of the Giants was finished be- fore John C. Toole yesterday at Na- tional league headquarters. Dr. Frank J. Finley of Pittsburgh, who was present when McGraw gave the al- leged interview, testified for Manager Dr. McGraw, He sald he heard McGraw tell Sid Mercer to “go as far as he liked.” He also sald that he saw Mercer hand the interview to McGraw to read over be- fore he sent it. Dr. Finley said that he heard McGraw say: “Life is not worth while worrylng about little things like this."” Martin W. Littleton, counsel far the Baseball Writers’ association, asked to have Mercer testify again, but John M. Ward, attorney for McGraw, offered objections, and Mercer was not permitted to add to his former testi- mony. All the evidence is now in the hands sof the directors, and they have seet no date for returning their finding. - GP‘OCE MARQUARD POUNDED| BY ATTY'S BOYS Regan, Rookie Pitcher on Reds’ Staff, Holds Robins Safe e Brooklyn, July 21.—Mike Regan added the scalp of Rube Marquard to his belt at Ebbets Field vesterday. The Kansas City raokie twirled the Reds to a 4 to 2 victory over Brooklyn. The defeat kept the Dodgers from passing the Cubs in the National league race. The Reds got tp Marquard for five hits, including a double and triple by Song Writer Tommy Griffith, in seven innings, and found Jack Coombs for two bingles in the two innings Colby Jack was on the mound. Jack | turned the Reds back with the bases full in the ninth. Regan held the Dodgers in check except in the first, when Kopf's error, Myers' single and Stengel’s single put two runs across. Marquard twirled good ball and only one of the Red runs was pure and un- adulterated. The score: Cincinnati . . 0120001004 Braoklyn 200000000—2 6 Batteries—Regan and Clarke; Mar- quard, Coombs and Meyeds T e, T X 2 Gifts for Wagner. New York, July 21.—The short win- ning streak compiled by the Pirates in ‘Boston was quickly wrecked on the Polo Grounds yesterday when it came into sharp contact with the Giants' pennant express. The Bezdek Buccos struck fed licks in their own defense, and lost the opener of their series in Gotham by a score of 4 to 0. It being Manhattan Island’s turn to hold a Hans Wagner day, the occasion was appropriately celebrated by squelching the Pirates as quickly as possible. Rube Benton, Wwho wore Corsair toggery for a few minutes last season, was in a very hitless pitching mood. Very few - of his southside benders were slapped back for safe: ties, there being only faur bingles in the Pittsburgh hit column. All told only twenty-nine Pirates, only two more than the regulation number, opposed Reuben. But this really wasn’'t a Rube Ben- ton day, but a Hans Wagner day. Old Honus has two umbrellas to prove it, one for himself and one for Mrs, Wag- ner. They were wished an him by local admirers, Sam Crane, the veteran scribe, making fitting' Temarks. Among other gifts showered on Wag- ner was a bunch of 100 American Beauties, a remembrance from Mr. and Mrs. Ed Barrow. The Interna- tional chief managed the Patterson team which just exactly twenty years ago sold young Honus Wagner to the old Louisville Nationals. The score: r. h. e. Pittsburgh .. 000000000—0 4 1 New York . . 00000040*—4 7 0 Batteries—Carlson, Jacobs and Fischer; Benton and Gibson. Alexander Beats Cards, Philadelphia, July 21.—The Phillles won a hard game from the Cards yes- terday, Alexander shading Meadows, 4 to 3. The Cards hammered Alexan- “der’s delivery for seven hits, which in- cluded two doubles and a triple in the first seven innings, but fast fielding held them down to two runs.

The score was 5 to 0. Art Nehf, southpaw, held the Mitchells to three scattered ! hits and permitted only one man to reach third base. The score: r. h. e.

New Haven, July 21.—Portland and New Haven divided the double- header here yesterday afternoon, the locals taking the first game, 2 to 1 In ten innings, and the visitors the sec- ond, 3 to 1. The initial contest was a brilliant pitchers 'battle between Wea- ver and Heitman. The locals man- aged to get to the Portland heaver in the tenth by putting over the neces- sary run. After Portland took the lead in the second inning they held it safe. The scores: First Game. h. 6 r.

Hartford, July 21.—“Long Louie” Pieper and his crew of ball players made two brilliant attempts to defeat “Fight Jack” Flynn's husky -crew of climbers yesterday afternoon at the Wethersfield Avenue grounds, but there was absolutely nothing doing. “Fighting Jack” alded and abetted by Hank Shreiber, et alss, refused to be beaten and the Senators were forced to chalk up two more games on the wrong side of the standing. The first battle resulted in a 4 to 1 win for the Lawrence crew, and the second went to Flynn’s band, 2 to 1, after fourteen innings of scintillating base- ball.

Dundee Comes Out Second Best in Clash With Chicago Boy. New York, July 21.—Joe Welling, the Chicago lightweight, turned the tables on Johnny Dundee last night at the St. Nicholas A. C. and scored a well deserved victory on points after ten rounds of exciting millng. ‘Welling scored consistently in the first seven rounds, reaching Dundee with frequency with an active left to the face, and occasionally crossing his right to the jaw with parring ef- fect, although the Italian never was off his feet. Dundee saved his customary rush until the tenth round when he fairly fought Welling off his feet and stag- gered him with a volley of lefts and rights to the head. But Welling had previously piled up a good lead and won handily. ‘Welling carried the fight to his op- ponent in nine of the ten rounds, did most of the leading and outboxed his man. At times when Welling forced Dundee to the ropes and peppered him with rights the Italian fought back with fury. GOLF AIDS RED CROSS, ‘More Than $100 Is Realized in Shaw- nee Club Tourney. Shawnee, Penn., July 21.—A quartet of amateurs all fairly well known in competitive golf survived the first and second rounds in the invitation golf tournament at the Shawnee Country club yesterday. They are Harold B. McFarland, of Huntington Valley; Reginald S. Worthington, of the home club; Alex Cales, another Shawnee man, and E. C. Clarey, of Woodbury. They met as named in the semi-finals today. The best golf of the day went to the credit of Clarey, who, in disposing of A. Z. Huntington, the medallist from Wyoming Valley, made the round in 75. Clarey came back in 34, two shots better than par, but even so Hunting- ton carried him to the seventeenth green. Voluntary contributions toward war rellet funds vyesterday netted more than $100. MISS WAGNER BEATEN. New York, July 21.—Mrs. Charles Vernon Hitchins, recent winner of the Middle States tournament, worked a reversal by defeating Miss Mario ‘Wagner, the national indoor cham- plon, in the special ome day compe- tition on the courts of the University Lawn Tennis club, at Harlem river and Fordham Road, yesterday.
