CHAMPIONS IN' GAMES, Boston, Aug. 24.—Ten of the twelve New England athletes' who won titles in sectional champlonship meets of | the Amateur Athletic Union last year have sent in their entries for the New England championship track meet to be held on Technology Field, Cam- bridge, on Saturday. More than 100 entries have been received. ' ONNILES' PROVESS Champion Bows fo Boston Player in Forest Hills Tourney Forest Hills, L. I, Aug. 24.—Na- thaniel W. Niles, of Boston, playing one of the greatest games of his ca- reer on American courts, defeated Richard Norris Williams, 2d, the na- tional champion, after a thrilling four set match on the championship courts of the West Side Tennis club at For- est Hills, Long Island, yesterday af- ternoon. The men met in the semi- final round of the national Red Cross singles. The score went at 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, but the cold figures do not begin to tell the story of a match that must long remain memorable in the annals of the game. Williams went down to defeat | under leaden and weeping skies. As a matter of fact, it rained intermit- tently from the beginning to the end of the struggle. The conditions made the court heavy and slippery, and the national champion seemed to have more trouble in keeping his feet than did Niles. The sodden balls also seemed to bother him, for Williams always plays his ground strokes low, and yesterday he made an astonish- ing number of nets in the four sets. A Different Williams. ‘Williams was not the Willlams of ‘Wimbledon, or the man who crushed the great McLoughlin at Newport in 1914, and William M. Johnston on the ‘West Side courts in 1916. The threc months of arduous. soldiering at Plattsburg this summer, with only the rarest of opportunities for practice on the courts, told their tale yesterday and Williams was not able to bring off the daring shots that have made his game a thing of wonder in other years—that '{s, he was not able to do it consistently. For brief sesslons the champion came into his own and thrilied the crowd by-a series of dazzling place- ment aces that had Niles floundering about his court, but eve, stroke and brain were hot working with that perfect co-ordination that has at oth- er times marked William’s game above that of any of his rivals. For Niles let it he said that he was travelling at such a pace that the champion had to bring off these win- ning shots or else go down before the Bostonian's forcing attack. By his victory Niles gained his final bracket. The showers that fell all afternoon forced the tournamest committee to LOSE TO CARDINALS Mound City Makes Savage Open- ing Attack on Smith's Offering - Brooklyn, Aug. 24.—Miller Huggins’ | Cardinals made a successful invasion of Ebbets Field yesterday and walked away with the honors of the initial struggle with the Robins, by a score of 7 to 5. Accidents have so affected the Brooklyn team that it now bears little resemblance to the champion outfit of a year ago. Manager Robinson had Casey Sten- gel in center and Jeff Pfeffer, the pitcher, in right; the last named spot was weak. Jeff gave his utmost to emulate Stengel, but fell down when the opportunity came. Jeff's failure, hqwever, did not stand out as the principal feature in St. Louis’ victory, as the visitors pounded the offerings * of Sherrod Smith hard, and were ald- ed by O'Rourke’s error in the first. The score: X i hy +...400030000—7 13 ....220000100—5 9 Meadows, and Gonzales; e’ (4 2 Packard and Smith and St. Louis . Brooklyn Batteries: Snyder Krueger. Rain Halts Game. New York, Aug. 24.—The Giants were neatly left-handing their way toward the pennant against the Cubs at the Polo Grounds yesterday when: barrels of rain began to fall at the end of the fifth inning, and the soiree resulted in a no-score tie. After a half-hour's wait, Umpire Rigler sal- lied forth to the diamond to see if he' could get his feet wet. His feet hav- ing absorbed sufficient- moisture to eonvince Rigier that it had been rain- ing, he called off the game. Ferdie Schupp and Jim Vaughn faced each other, and, as far as-the contest went, there was every indica- tion of a hard, close duel of the fork- armed flingers. The Giants had-made two hits off Vaughn, while the Cubg made only one off Schupp. Both pitchers were being supported with flattering aid. The score: Chicago . New York ...........00000—0 2 0 Batteries: Vaughn and Elliott; Schupp and. Rariden. 4 . " Pyler Baffles Pirates. Boston, Aug. 24.—Tyler had the postpone the other semi-final round match, in which Robert Lindley Mur- ray, of California, was scheduled to face John R. Strachan, another ‘“‘na- tive son.” These two met this after- noon at 3:30 o’clock, and the winner will play Niles in the final reund- to- morrow afternoon. CITY LEAGUE. GAMES Pirates to Oppose League Leaders To- morrow Afternoon—Annex and Kamels to Cross Bats. The Planeers and Pirates' comba- tants in the recent 14 inning game in the City league, will cross bats again tomorrow afternoon at St. Mary's playgrounds, the game starting at 4 o'clock. At the outset of the sea- son things looked easy for the Ploneers who secured a commanding lead, but with the ather clubs strengthening, several defeats have been registered against the Luby- Eggert agsregation. The Pioneers must win tomorrow to retain the league lead. The curtain raiser at 2 o’clock will bring together the Kamels and Annex. In the Church league, St. John's and the Sacred Heart teams will meet at 2 o'clock and at 4 o'clock St. Andrew’s and St. Mary's will be the contestants. The crack Riverside playgrounds team of Hartford, will stack up against Capt. “Bill” Kenney's fast outfit at 3 o’clock. OUR COPS READY. Meriden Police in for a Tough En- counter Next Wednesday. The baseball team which will repre- sent the New Britain department in the game in Meriden next Wednesday afternoon, is nearly fit for the fray, the men holding practice daily. In facing Meriden, the locals will stack up against one of the best police teams in the state, this reputation having been gained on the diamond. The showlng of the “coppers” against Jimmy Naughton's picked team Wednesday created plenty of conti- dence In the hearts of the players and their followers. A number of the team that defeated Hartford in the game held in con- nection with the inspection last year, will again don a uniform, several of the hopes that have been trying to convert themselves into outflelders during the practice being relegated to the bench. Mo date no official an- nouncement has been made concern- ing & mascot, but one of the try-eut outflelders would certainly make a hit in this role, this belng a job for a child of a ‘“‘molNycoddle.” S Paddy O'Mara, Pete Cabelus, Bill Hart, Patrick Howley and Bill Sowney will be found cavorting on -the -dia- mond when “Play Ball” is called by “his umps.’ A large delegation of the department, clerks in the stores and other friends of the team will accom- pany them, besides some of the Hart- ford department headed by Jim O'Connell and Larry Lacey. better of Grimes in a pitching battle here yvesterday, Boston defeating Pitts- burgh, 2 to 1.

TORRINGTON AGAIN Two Time Conguerors of Pioneers”to Meet Locals Sunday Afternoon on Ellis Street Diamond. i For the third time this season, the crack Torrington team will make its appearance -at -the Pioneer diamond Sunday afternoon, when the scalps of the locals will be the object of the visit. The season of 1917 has been one of the most successfal in the his- tory of the. up-state team, the brass workers having met -and - defeated some of the crack teams of the state, including the Pioneers on two- occa- sions. In a recent game with the fast Poli team of Hartford, the Torring- ton's were nosed out in the ninth.in- ning. Patten and McLeod, the crack battery will be in points for the vis- itors in Sunday’s contest. The Pioneers were smarting under the sting of previous defeats and will strive hard to retrieve themselves. In last Sunday's game the locals showed: the best form of the vear and their followers are confident that at lehst one victory will be the fruits of’the three-time clash of the teams this season. “Billy” Dudack has been groomed for this important contest and with the ‘“big fellow” in form, there are boulders on the track ahead of Torrington. The game will be called at 3 o’clock with Barbour of Hartford holding the indicator. The contest will mark the last appear. ance of “Howie” Blinn in a Pioneer uniform, the star outfielder having been called to the colors. “BULLET JQE” SUSPENDED.
