Brooklyn, Mass.,, July 22.—The greatest sensation of a tennis tourna- ment filled with upsets occurred today in the semi-finals of the Longwood singles, when Maurice O’'Loughlin, the whirlwind player from the Pacific coast and a member of last vear’s Davis cup team, defeated Beals C. ‘Wright. former national champion, ard America’s mainstay in international contests, in four hard fought sets. The young Californian, who is making only his second campaign in the east, out- generalled and outplayed Wrieht. Should the westerner maintain the spee¢ of today’s game experts pick him to beat Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia, the intercollegiate cham- pion_in the finals. The eastern doubles championship also furnished its daily upset when B, H. Whitney Boston interscholastic singles champion, and Richard Bishop of the Longwood club, beat G. F. Tou- chard and C. B. Gardner of New York in four sets in the semi-finals. The losers, who had become favorites after defeating Wright and Little, slumped badly today, while the Boston pair played with a dashing precision and confidegce. Whitney and Bishop to- morrow will meet the Yale team of R. A. Holden, Jr.. and F. M. Watrous for the eastern title. WRESTLER’S BACK HURT, BOUT DECLARED OFF.

Tt came to a stop at the end of 25minutes of fast work, when Youhg Major's back was hurt as they were struggling towards the edge of the ring. Neither had gained a fall and the match and all bets were declared off. The men will meet again late Abe the Newsboy of New London and Harry West of Providence then went on for a six round bout with the loves. This was Abe's fight when he put West away with a knockecut in the fourth. Henry Collins of Westerly was referee and Ed McKnight time- keeper. . LANGFORD VS. KAUFMAN IN PHILA. BASEBALL PARK.

Bates fielded his_position in fine form. Harris lost the gams for Middle- town by muffing a fly 4n the seventh when two were out.

New York, July 22.—The bear party was not inuch molested in its opera- tions in stock today. The decline in prices ancountered little effective re- sistance in_the form of buying orders except such as the bears themselves supplied when they covered shorts from time to time. At other times tha buying consisted simply in acceptance at concessions, and the concessions were made rapidly for the most part. The operations were congested largaly in a few of the speculative stocks, but the price concessions applied to the whole list, active and inactive. The sales affected in the active stocks and the proportions of the declines obvi ously represent important progress towards the liquidation and the adjust- ment to conditions which are sought in such a movement. Bear covering caused the sharp recovery ‘late in the day. The cut in the National Lead divi- dend was the ostensible motive for the sentiment of discouragement in the speculation which overcame the mar- ket. The incident was thought scarce- 1y adequate to explain the extreme de- pression of speculative sentiment and other causes were sought. The show- ing made by the national banks in the compilation of returns to the controller and the fears of a poor quarterly statement by the United States Steel corporation at next Tuesday's meeting of dirsctors were cited as possible fur- ther grounds for the tone of the mar- ket. The National Lead itself was much more influential from inferences drawn from it than for the importance of the action itself. As the company is comparatively small, engagad in an industry subject to individual influ- ences, and, moreover, with a varying dividend record, owing to the custom of disbursement up to near the. limit of earninz power, the reduction in the amount of the disbursement might pass ordinarily with little notice. The personality of the capitalists credited With the controi of the company, how- ever, made the action influential as a possible index of financial and speecu- lative policy. The parallzl interests in copper of the same financial interests and the suspicion of a conflict of opinion over the allotment of copper production in the effort to settle on an agreement for curtailment bagot the suspicion that there might be a sign of a stock market contest that might prove damaging to onlookers as well as_participants. The consideration of the condition of the national banks of the country was more limited to bankers, but may not have lacked influence on the stock market for that reason. The nominal decrease in loans since March, report- ed on June 30, when considered in con- nection with the greater loan contrac- tion by the New_York banks for the same meriod as no decrease at all, but an increase of over $28,000,000 outside New Yerk. In the same way the in- creass in loans of $394,276,000 in the yearly comparison has to take account of the New York decrease for the same time included in the total, which indi- cates that outside of New York there has been a cradit expansion of $476,- 233,000 in a year's time. The pre- vailing note of warning in the banking » rid was amply explained by this wing, and also the active prepara- fioke to strengthen the reserve condi- tion of the banks. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, § .000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. i Am. Tobacco prd Am. Woolen . Angeonda Mring [ Atchison 5 Do. pra Atlantic Coas Baltimore & Ohio..

Though Charley Washington American league team, is known as “Gabby.” the nickname is applied ironically and not becav.e of talkativeness on the part of Street As a matter of fact. articulate sound rarely issues from Charley’s mouth. “Gabby” did open up once, how- ever, long enough to tell of, an inci- dent in which he was involved during his bush league days. In these times, as now. Street was exceptionally speedy on his feet. and he says it was nothing unusual him to drop the third strike in order to have the fun of running the batter down on the first base line. This was a pure joy to Charley; a time when he failed to.get the meas- ure of his man. The pitcher who was serving Street succeeded in striking the batter out. | “Gabby” dropped the ball. Then en- sued a race such as few fans have an opportu: of witnessing. The visit- ing batter beat Charley to first by a full stride. and, measuring his man correctly, continued on toward the keystone corner, Street pursued. but again he was distanced. The ruriner went “column left” and made third his goal. Dis regarding his team mates Street of the his throw at every angle, Charley kept up the vain pursuit. Finally he hurled himself into the plate on the of the runne: laiming as he “I'd got him if I hadn’t this dinged windpad on!" | WALSH AFTER STRIKEOUTS. No-Hit Games Are a Side Issue with Big Ed—Also Shutouts and Wins Don’t Count. Ed Walsh's hobby has been dise ered. It isn't to win the most games. | it fsn’t to make the most runs. to steal | the most bases or to pitch the most games. Tt is to make the most strike- outs. Walsh doesn't pay much atten- tion to the shutouts he records, the | games he wins. the hits made off him, or the bases on balls he passes out, but he does like to have a heap of strike- outs. A writer happened to speak with the slab artist after a game and made the remark that Walsh’s pitch- ing had been mainly responsible for winning_the' contest.. Big Ed replied that he had been forced to ge the limit and also that he had been pursued by hard luck this vear. “By the way. how miany games have vou season?” asked the writer. me there,” replied Walsh, haven't the slightest idea how I stand now, but T have struck out 72 men so far.” Ed later confessed that it was of great importance to him to make a large number of strikeouts and said that that was the only feature of the game of which he kept ¥rack ~ Mcintyre Shows Up Rival. In the first of a double header at Fall River on Thursday Intyre made a double and two singles in four times uv. In the second game his piace on first was taken by an- other player numed Kennedy, whosa work compared unfavorably with “Slim’s,” as he failed to make a hit in three times and was also charged with a fielding ervor.

Twice this season he has taken their measure. In Cincinnati they say that Tommy McMillan is now “a finished and classy little shortstop and good enough for anybody’s team. Brooklyn’s new has all the earmarks player—a splendid hitter, and uccurate thrower, Manager Bresnahan of the Cardinal is catching as good ball as 'he ever caught in his life, and batting .300 on at T. A. at outfielder, Dalton, of a great ball fast fielder the side. Roger has quit fighting the umpires, Detroit has made more long hits than any other team In the American league. Boston is second, Philadelphin third, New ork fourth, CYleveland fifth,' St. Louis sixth, Washington sev- enth and Chicago last. The ten leading stealers of the Am- erioan Jeague are Colling of Philadel- phia, Cobb of Detroit, Zeider of Chi- cago, Bush of Detroit, Chase of New York, Krueger of Cleveland, Moriarty of Detroit, Hemphill of New York, Speaker of Boston, Schweitzer of St Louis. They rank in the order nam- ed, running from forty stolen sacks to ftteen, Big Chief Bender, American Indian pitcher, looks like the leader in that league, and possibly the best in both leagues this season. Bender's remarkable record so far is 14 won out of 1* played, and he piteh- ed one no-hit game. At the beginning of the season Connie Mack wondersd whether to keep Bender or not, as the Indian flinger did not show up so well last season as in previous seasons, and it looked as though he had gone back Tis year he started right out with vie. tories and has been pitching the bes” ball of his carcer. / the Philadelphia DIRECTORY.
