Y., b In.a doubles match that the gamut from sensational to mx re tennis, Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. W:'ding defeated Maurice Me Lougblin and Thomas C. Bundy in straight sets, 6-3, $-6, 9-7, here this afternoon, putting the Australasian team in the lead for the Davis cup, two matches to one. The final con- tests for the trophy will be played to- norrow, and to retain possession of the massive silver bowl and the world’s ctzmpionship McLoughlin must defeat Wilding and R. Norris Williams, “2d. deteat Brookes,in singles, a feat which tenris experts consider most unlikely. The Australasian victory was well earned and without flaw, the team work of the Antipodeans being that of master racquet wielders who thorough- 1y understood -each other's play and tactics both at net and in deep court. Althcugh the United States champions carried the challengers into deuce seis twice, they never could life their game to the plane where Brookes and Wilc- | ing were unable to check their rallies at crucial moments. The older and more experienced Dpa always had semething in reserve, and their cloc! like team work disconcerted even Mc- Loughlin in closing set. 4 Centered” Shots on Bundy. Recognizing that Bundy was the weaker player of the American pais the challengers directed their hardest veiieys at him. Although he handled the rain of shots in a manner beyond the expectations of tennis association officials, he was unable to hold the vet- erans across the net sufficiently to per- mit McLoughlin to secure a winning edge for the cup defenders. McLoughlin Played Desperately. McLoughlin, the conqueror of Drookes in yesterday's singles, played desperately, covering long stretches of net and court, but the effort told ana when the Australasians turned their batteries of smashes and cut shots on lum late in the match his game broke dly and he netted or outed the ball in 2 manner that astonished the spec- tators. Aug. Visitors in Grand Form. The Americans tried every style of game in their repertoire in an en- desivor to stave off defeat, but without avail. If they played in deep courl the invaders rushed to the net and cat LT every return, frequently leaving their opponents flat-footed in their per- riexity as to where the ball would be placed. The attempt to dislodge the challenging pair from the net by lob- b.ng was a distinct failure. Most of Bundy's lifts were short and either Iirookes or Wilding smashed them back. for placement aces or put such a bound on the ball that a return was out of the question. At times Bundy and McLoughlin appeared to be demorai- IV Leaves Bermuda, But Races are i e & s o e coni and either interfered with each other or itted the ball fo' pass- tween them without return. = Outpointed the Californians.. . In the general handling of the ball the victors aid by far the clearer work. They netted fewer returns and did-not drive out of court with- the frequency In placement shots-also zed, so far d, elt was a noticeable feature of the contest ihat while Bundy opened in poor form he improved in all round play as the ¥ match progressed, while the econtrary was true of McLoughlin. The national champion had many opportunities: to win games in the closing set, but fall- ed in his shots at the most critical times. This break in his form was laid to the hard sets against Brookes yes- tercay and his early efforts to win the coubles matches when Bundy was"fal- tering under the attack of Brookes and ‘Wilging. The contest was witnessed by a throng of more than 13,000 spectators, who filled every available geat and aisles in the stands, and gave a scenic selting to the play never before equal- ed in a Davis cup match, either in the TUnited States or abroad. Australasians Are Confident. The Australasians, after their victory in the doubles, expressed confidence. in their ability to win at least one of to- morrow’s singles -matches and thus clinch possession of the cup.

New Haven, Conn., Aug. 13.—Direc- tors of the Eastern Baseball associa- tion conferred for several hours behind closed doors at a local hotel tonight, presumably - over flnancial matters.

Did ‘you ever stop to think what a figure luck cuts in baseball * says Jere White. Luck entirely apart from play- Maurice Mec- | P the luck having the team ready and then having it broken up by cripples, or made by the unexpected ‘develop: ment of some youngster. The Ameri- can league race this season is a won- derful example of what the fortures of. war do. In the spring the Naps might well have been figured to land to the top of the second division. But Chap- man broke a leg. There was no_re- cruit ready to fit in at his rlace. The accident to Chapman at that time was a terrific blow to the team. It des- troyed what team spirit and hope ex- isted and it practically doomed the Naps to the tailend h onors. Boston was the next victim. Boston of course, figured second in the league in acual playing strength, But Wagner was a cripple from rheumatism with- out a chance in a hundred of playing ball before midseason, and naturally ddwn came Boston in the estimation as a pennant possibility. Lo and be- hold! up bobs Scott, who. with Rehg, was an association star, and.fills in ‘Wagner's place so accepfably that the great Wagner's loss amounts to only about 10 per cent. On top of that Boston grabs and there it is, a bit stronger on paper right now than it figured at its best in the spring and in spite of ill-luck, such as_destroyed Cleveland. Injuries and iliness have affected the chances of every team in the league but the Athletics, as usual, have the best of it. was the services of for a few weeks. Washington had two body blows. The injury to Milan, its chief Tun-getter and leader in attack, came just when it hurt most. The other blow was Johnson's weakening from over- work. The White Sox suffered two wallops from fate; and the worst was the injury to Weaver, which resulted in_a quick and disastrous slump. But harder than all has been the fate of Jennings. He had revived a team, made it a pennant possibility; and bang—just at the straining point of the race Cobb lost his head and broke his hand hitting a butcher boy. Before that Cobb had lost ‘a week ‘of valuable time through getting = - rib cracked. Every pennant contender in the American league has been set back, by sheer accident.
