Williams retained his hold on the Achelis Challenge cup Saturday by defeating Karl H. Behr, his chal- enger in,a hard fought four-set imatch, the scores being 71—, 6—4, 13—6, 6—2. | The match was the feature of the lannual invitation lawn tennis tourna- mment of the Seabright Lawn Tennis ‘and Cricket Club, .and a crowd of ‘about three thousand persons jammed 4ts way into the stands and clustered on every spot where a view of the coar:_could be obtained. Willlams well deserved his triumph. H> was within a_shade of being the seme marvel of the courts who had wreslod the national title from Maurice McLoughlin at the Newport Casino 925¢ September. Behr plainly showed Ahat the fine edge had been worn off ‘his game by the desperate match with McLoughlin vesterday, in which he was victorious, but it is more than Goubtful whether he could have van- ‘quished Willlams even had he been at his pest. The match was replete with thrill- 4ng moments, and the gallery was ‘ebout equally divided in its sympathy for the two men. When Behr traced in the third set and won it the crowd was vociferous in its applause. Yet, when William took the fourth set and the match, the enthusiasm was fully great. By his victory Williams showed that he is prepared to give Mec- Loughlin the battle of his career hould the two meet at Forest Hills, ng Island, next month, where Will- fercs will be playing through a defence of his national title.

At both games there wera record crowds, the largest Taftville's Star Catcher. ever assembled on the Moosup and Taftville baseball parks and the garies Were of unusual standard, proving to be exciting and full of brillian play. Saturday’s game was plaved at Taftville and M. Murphy of New Ha- ven pitched for thé locals and was never in danger, holding Moosup to a perfection. AFTVILLE TAKES TWO OPENERS . Record Hit—Sunday’s Game a Great Pitchers’ Battle, In Which Walsh Proved the Master. In the second inning Taftville start- ed the scoring racket after D. Murphy singl ol-second and advanced to s nelaers choloe. He came sixth and one in the seventh when D. Murphy clouted one to left field for the longest hit ever known on the Taftville field for the circuit. The fifth proved to be Moosup’s live- 1y inning and they put their three rune across the plate in this inning on a hit and several errors. Danny Murphy, formerly with the Athletics was on the fleld in uniform and airected the Taftville team from the bench. Sunday’s game was a perfect pitch- er’s battle betwen Walsh and Sullivan, the former having a shade of the argument. Walsh practically won the game for Taftville as he drove a liner to center which proved too hot for Houlihan and as Chance was on base he scored. Taftville had a fine chance to score in the second but poor base running _ queered their chances. Moosup had several opportunities to pull through without a shut out and would have only for the masterly pitching of Walsh.

Severe Reversals in Some of the War Specialties. - New York, Aug. 14—Severe revers- als in some of the ~war specialties marked today’s brief session of the stock market. The setback was attri- buted to a varlety of causes, but more likely it resulted from the fast-grow- ing belief that the time had come for a2 halt in the further rise of these vola- tile_issues. Crucible Steel was the weakest fea- ture, recording a maximum loss of § points, with a 4 point break between sales. Willys - Overland, Bethlehem Steel and Allis-Chalmers fell from 4 to 15 points, but regained much of their loss later. Bethlehem Steel pre- perred, on a single sale just before the close, recorded a loss of 11 points The movement was not all in the one direction, however. Studebaker as- cending to the new high price of 100, an _overnight gain of 5 1-4. Other_points_of strength included Pacific Mail, which advanced 3 points on announcement of the sale of its Pacific fleet, and American Wodlen common and preferred strengtheried on the proposed dechartering of the com- pany under Massachusetts laws. Railroads were irregular until to- wards the end of the session, when Reading recovered from its early hea- Viness, carrying others in the same class to higher levels. United States Steel and a few other favorites were under intermittent pressure but the market's tone at the close was strong. Total sales aggregated 365,000 shares. Lower rates for exchange on Lon- don and Paris were quoted and the foreign exchange market was utterly demgralized. Demand sterling fell to 4.69 1-2 and, according to trustworthy accounts, this quetation was shaded half a cent after the close of the st market. Paris checks yielded to 5. with every prospect of lower quota- tions during the coming week. The bank statement fuffilled popu- lar estimates, actual demand deposits incrensing over $50,000,000 with a $21,000,000 increase of reserve, these items being an obvious reflection of the weel’s heavy gold imports. The bond market manifested an eas- fer tendency on nominal dealings. To- tal sales, par value, amounted to $1,- 220,000 . U. S. Coupon 4s declined 1-4 per cent, and Panama 3s 1-8 per cent. on call during the week. Other govern- ment issues advanced 1-4 to 1-2 per cent.

Aug. 15—The New York Giants defeated the Bridge- port Independents this afternoon by the score of 4 to 1 in an interesting contest. Stegner, the Bridgeport Springfleld Saturday Dibble outrowed his last year's op- ponent, John B Kelly, of the per Club, of Philadelphia, by obtaifing a full length’s advantage on the way back from the upper turn and gamely responding to every spurt by the chal- lenger. Waldo Smith, of the New York Ath- letic Club, who robbed Duluth of the only first in the two days b ybeating Hoover in the senior singles by a quar- ter of a length, did not take advantage of his victory to enter the champion- ship event ‘our of the Duluth crews established new sassociation records during the afternoon. The senior fours rowed in 6 minutes, 14 3-5 seconds made by the New York Athletie Club at Detroit in 1909. In the quadruple race the Duluth crew covered the course in 5 minutes 45 4-5 meconds, as against 7 minutes, 7 4-6_seconds made by the Riversides at Boston in 1913, The Du- luth intermediate eight swept down th Hver in 5 minutes, 24 4-5 seconds, the old time being 6 minutes, 3 second made by the Argonautse at Detroit in The senior Duluth eight closed the record breaking day by rowing the courwe in 5 minutes, 30 3-5 seconds The former time was 6 minutes, 5 seconds, made by the New York Athletic Club at Detroit in 1909 The defeat of Hoover by Waldo Smith in the association singles was one of the features of the afternoon and the only blot on the Duluth rec ord. A hundred yards from the finish Hoover, a length behind, began to ov- erhaul the New Yorker and was shooting alongside as the two shells crossed the line. Duluth went home with & record of ten firsts and one second in eleven starts, something unheard of in the annals of the na- tional association. The summaries follow: . Sachems Challenge Taftville.” The Sachems are out with a chal- lenge for Taftville and according to Manager Hughes, they are willing to play for sport or money. LEAGUE MEETS WHEN BRAVES OPEN NEW FIELD Call Issued by President John K.

Not ome pitched in_100| knows how he is pitching or reslises when he changes his delivery. s Johnson changed his delivery abowt two years ngo.
