New York, Sept. 2.—Washington and New York are fighting the main Peut in the American league with Pittspurgh and Brooklyn challeng- ing the Giants in the National. | The world's champions, following the loss of three of the first four roynds to their younger rivals after | stubborn fighting, kept even in the next two yesterday and are given an equal chance to retain their title because of experience which is expected to count in the last stages. The veteran Goliath of the Na-| tional, however, continues to show signs of aging legs which may in the final encounter with the youthful Pirate challengers or the| sturdy Robin who suddenly aban- doned his role as parring partner and knocked the champ out of the ring in a three-game series las! week, The Glants were the only teut team to falter in the Labor Day double-headers.

New York, 2.—Epinard, | [beaten half a length by Wise Coun- sellor in the six furlong race which inaugurated the series of three in- ternational events, remains the piv- otal point of speculation as trainers prepare their stars for the next en- gagement over a mile at Aqueduct September 24. In the stretch at Belmont Park yesterday, when Wise Counsellor |came up on the outside to challenge | Baffling, Zev and Eplnard, which had been running in that order, it was the French horse which fur- | nished the contest as the other two | fell back. Stride for stride they | struck off 100 yards as 60,000 peo- ! plé, including the Prince of Wales, [eheered them on. The impetus with which Frankie Keough brought the !'| chestnut son of Mentor by Rustle up from fifth was stronger by half a length than the power Everett | Haynes gathered with his mount | when the chestnut menace appeared on his flank. Following a statement made be- fore the special race by Trainer Eugene Leigh that he thought Epin- ard needed a competitive race and based further upon the general opinion that the European champion would perform better at the longer distance, the chance of Pierre Wert- | heimer's chestnut colt to win the mile at Aqueduct and the mile and a quarter at Latonia on October 11 will be rated beiier than his status before yesterday's race in which | Wise Counsellor was a 13 to five fav- orite. Until the winner circled the out- side in the stretch and drove into the race, it appeared that the own- ers of Zev and Epinard, champion three year olds of two continents in 1923, would realize an ambition of last year to have the two colts meet, Zev, quoted with Epinard at 3 1-2 to 1, lookifig good at the post, hung only a head behind Baffling and kept a neck beyond Epinard until Wise Counsellor set the Killing pace which brought him to the wire in 1:11 4-5, ahead of both. Tn the finish the greatest money winner of all time was passed by August Belmont's Ladkin, which fin- ished third, three lengths behind Epinard, and Snob 11, which took fourth. Zev, pulling up in the stretch, was fifth, and Wilderness sixth. Baffling dropped to seventh just ahead of Miss Star, the only flly in the race, and Goshwak, | which trailed. Rialto, Worthmore and Little Chief had been scratched. The race carried a money value of |£26,000 to the victor. 2,10 DIVISION ON CARDS N HARTEORD sther s 10 (AFTERNOON AR ‘Seoond Day's Session of Racing Finds Fast Track Hartford, Sept. 2.—The 2:10 di- | vision of the Greater Charter Oak stake was the feature of the second day's session of the Grand Circuit meeting at the Connecticut fair to- The starters included Watts- Thompson Dillon, Criw- Hope Frisco, the Great Lull- water and San Pedro Girl.

Y., Sept. 2.— America’s famous rivals for premier tennis Jaurels—"Big BIll" Tilden, and “Little BIN” Johnston, twice former champion — will stage an- other duel for national titular hon- ors this afternoon on the turf courts ot the West Side Tennis club. They have met in four of the past five final round matches, besides one battle that came before the finals, and Tilden has been victor times. On past performances, the reigning king of the courts is a fa- vorite, but today's struggle prom- ises to be one of the most keenly waged of any they have had. The chief reason for enthusiasm on the part of Johneton's followers is that while the little Californian was sweeping through to an aston- ishingly easy victory over Gerald Patterson, Australian champion, in yesterday's finals, with the loss of but two games, Tilden was extended to a sensational five-set battle to dispose of Vincent Richards. | Tilden, in fact, besides dropping | the first and fourth sets, came with- in a point of losing the third set, be- fore finally rose to the peak of his ¢ cteristic brilliancy to sweep Richards back in the fifth set. The scores of this match were 4-6, 6-2, 8-6, 4-6, 6-4, It was the first time since the finals of 1922 against Johnston that Tilden had been forced to five sets in defcnse of his title, His young | former pupil, now the Olympian ampion, battled spectacularly for every point and although he had the | bénefit of host of the “breaks,” he was playing ‘the type of versatile game that gives the champion the most trouble. Tilden's cannonball service, on which he scored 19 aces, le at critical junctures proved the de- ciding factors. Johnston, now apparently at the | height of a brilliant comeback, will | enter the finals with the. record of | not having lost a et in six matches during as many days of tournament play. Tilden, on the other hand, lost sets to Manuel Alonso and Edward | | Kinsey before dropping back anoth- | er pair yesterday, but despite his l somewhat erratic work, the titlehol- der always has given the impression | that he has the reserve force and strokes to meet any emergency.

Hornsby's terrific hitting has prompted President Heydler to characterize him as the greatest bat- ter of all time, but strong as his claims may be, opinion from around the circuit shows strong support for | Vance, whose spectacular streak of | clever stralght victories and remark- able strike-out record is one of the outstanding mound performances of recent years. | Other stars in the senior organiza- lllon also have their supporters in the | race for the league's award of $1,~ | 000 but Hornsby and Vance appear | far in the lead. 5 ‘ Among the remaining contenders, | Boston has Dave Bancroft, star p inz manager; Chigago has Hartnett, brilliant young catcher; Cincinnati, Roush, veteran outfielder who has | staged a fine come-back; Pittsburgh, | three brilliant youngsters in Cuyler, sensational outficlder, Kremer, star pitcher, and Wright, new shortstop; New York, Ross Young, leading hit- ter and Frank Frisch, second sack- er who, however, has not measured up to his remarkable 1923 form. Brooklyn has two other mainstays |in Fournier, leading home-run hit- ter of the league, and Zach Wheat, | veteran captain. Philadelphia has | | no outstanding star, although Sand | has played well at shortstop and Williams in the outfield. B-L. IN SECOND PLACE State League Brought to Close With Local Entry Nosing Out Willi- mantic for Second Place.

The race, which excited considerable interest, was | ope between Willimantic and New Britain. This struggle for second place was not decided until yestgr- day, the last day of the league, when New Britain by splitting with | Torrington, while Bristol was de- {feating Willimantic _twice, sup- planted the latter teams as runner- | up in the league standing. | The following is the final standing | of the teams and the scores of games played yesterday: | Final Standing P.C. w.

New York, Sept. 2.—Labor Day's carnival of sport produced many in- teresting situations but no startling upsets. Epinard, visiting French ther- oughbred, ran a gallant six furlongs in the international event at Belmont Park, although he lost by half a length to Wige Counséllor in a dash down the stretch. Zev, former héro of the American turf, was a weak fifth after a good run. Willlam T.

John- ston defeated Gerald Patgerson of Australia easily and meets Tilden to- day in the final match. It will be thelr fifth meeting for the title. Til- den won four. Richards and How- ard Kinsey of San Francisco wére selected to complete the Davis cup team on which Tilden and Johnston had been previously named.

Tommy Hilton was second and Fred Comer, third.. Joe Boyer's legs were injured in a crash, and he died early today following an operation in which both his legs were amputated in a futile effort to save his life. Miss Agnes Geraghty broke her own record for the women's 100- vard breast stroke at Long Beach, . Y, cutting 2-5 of a second off. the former mark of 1:23 2-5. Miss | Glenna Collett set a record break- ing 79 for 18 holes in winning the qualifying medal in the women'’s na« tional golf tournament at Providence. W. E.
