Y., Sept. 3.—Amer- ica won the first two matches at singles yesterday defending the Davis cup from challenging Japan upon the Forest Hills courts of the West Side Tennis club. But, American won by suddenly nerving herself to check an oncoming miracle. Willam T. Tilden 2d was the man who hurled the miracle back into the land of might have been. He saw the whites of his eves before he did his hurling. Bill Johnston won from Ichiya Kumagae easily enoungh at 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Next came the match between tall Tilden and little Zenzo Shimidzi. The first three games went to Tilden. There was a moment when the little Japanese stood with three points of victory, and there was a considerable period during which the big American was reeling like a hard-pressed boxer and slugging the ball with every ounce of strength that lay between his tou- sled head and his weary feet. Til- den’s victory came finally by the score of 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. It was one of the most sensational matches known in the history of in- ternational tennis. But for Tilden's surprising rally it might have been the most sensational unheaval of form which sport has known in a genera- tion. in Wilson te Continue New York, Sept. 3.—Bryan Downey, Cleveland middleweight planned to end his training this afternoon for the Jersey City bout on Monday in which he hopes to win the world’s middle- weight title from Johnny Wilson.

Heilmann suffered a slight slump, dropping from .403 to .398, while the Georgia peach closed the gap consider- ably by bringing his average from .392 to .895. Tris Speaker, leader of the Clevcland club, advanced from sixth to fourth place with an average of .373 which ties George Sisler, the St. Louis star. Babe Ruth, who added one circuit drive to his string of 48, continues in third position with .384. Ruth stretched his total of runs scored to 142 and his 163 hits have given him a total of 364 bases, which is far in front of his rivals Harris of Washington added three more bases to his total and leads with 25 thefts. Other leading batters for seventy or more games: Tobin, St. Louis, .368; Veach, De- troit, .347; E. Collins, Chicago, .344; Jacobson, St. Louis, .340; Williams, St. Louis, .340; Strunk, Chicago, .340; Severeid, St. Louis, .339; O'Neill, Cleveland, .333; Sewell, Cleveland, .33L More Honors for Honrsby Roger Hornsby, star of the St. Louis Cards, is giving promise of being the National league leader in several de- partments. He not only has increa: ed his batting average to .415 but is threatening to grasp the home run honors of the league from George Kel- ly, the Giant's slugger. Kelly failed to add to his string of 22 homers dur- ing the week while Hornsby smashed out three round trip blows and is push- ing the New York first baseman witn 20. The veteran George Cutshaw of the Pirates, is the runner-up to Hornsby for batting honors, being 64 points be- hind with an average of .331. Frank Frisch of the Giants, the lead- ing base stealer, has 43 to his credit. Other leading batters for 70 or more sames: Rousch, Cincinnati, .347; Mec- Henry, St. Louis, 342; Fournier, St. Imuis, .340; Young, New York, .3 Mann, St. Louis, 338; Cruise, Boston, .335; Bigbee, Pittsburgh, .333; Groh, Cincinnati, .332; E.

This time it is the usual command to his Beavers to report at the clubhouse on two separ- ate and distinct occasions. Command No. 1, calls for the team to be on hand at 10 o'clock tomorrow, . and Command No. 2 calls for his worthies to obey orders and be present at the same location at 9 o'clock Monday morning. Lest the sport editor should overlook the fact, Mgr. P. J. again calls attention to the fact that the game on Labor Day, will be a corker.
