The teams will play the second game in this city a week from today, probably at St. Mary's fleld. Tickets for the gams next week are on sale and they are being pur- chased throughout the city.

Tomorrow afternoon in Kensing- ton the baseball classic of the week will be played when the Falcons and All-Kensington teams clash in the third game of their series. Each team has won one game and tomorrow’s clash will be a battle royal. Both teams ame all steamed up for the fray and without a doubt, the game will be one of the best seen this year.

Philadelphia, Sept. 11 (#) — The veteran stars who have clinched America’s tennis supremacy for the seventh year in a row have a lot in common with Tennyson's fameus brook and old wine. Not only do they seem able to go on victerious- ly forever but thelr games appear to grow more effective with age. It is the second craft of these campaigners — “Big Bill" Tilden, “Little Bill” Johnston and “Dick” Williams—that the United States owes its triumph over France in the 1926 challenge round for the Davis cup and the world's championship that goes with it. To top off the decisive singles vicjories of Tilden and Johnston on tha opening day over Jean Morotra and Rene Las coste, France's youthful aces, it was Williams who paired yesterday with the younger Vincent Richards to gain the third deciding triumph in the doubles, Willams led a flery attack that hoat back the French combination of Jacques Brugnon and Henri Cochet to the tune of 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, These victories settled the team issue but the Americans were de- termined today to register another clean sweep by taking the final two singles matches. In these TJohnston was bracketed with Borot- ra at 2:30 p. n, and Tilden paired with Lacoeste afterward All three of America’s vetsrans the beyond 30, an age when mest {athletic stars are &n the wans, but A Naw York barber shop. where|if any of the trio’'has now a trifle the barber was prohibited from less endurance, dash or fire than talking te customers while shating|before, he has offsst it by the more > them/ has heen forced out of busi-|resourceful, polished skill that goes | ness by lagk of trade, with experience, The Industrial league will prob- ably bs operated again next year but if it is, it will in all probability, be a twilight league. Had twilight games been played this year, it would have been a different story a8 far as the attendance was ¢on- cerfied because almost every twi- light game drew a better crowd than the Saturday afternoon affafrs. R. C. RUDOLPH 127 Cherry St. Tel. 2051-3 Most of the factories are in fav- or of a twilight league next year and there are only one or two who do not favor this form of play. The mafority will probably rule in the case however, and it appears now, though it is a long ways off, that next season will see the Industrial league operated on a twilight sched- ule of seven inning game. Th league was revived this year after having been inoperative since 1020, From the playing standpoint, it was not the success it should | have been. It is strange but the teams that at the beginning appear- ed to be the strongest, finished down the list while the others whose lineups did not appear to be impressive were in the lead.
