PUTTER BOYS LOSE 70 ADANS BROTHERS Forty-Two Games Required to Determine Championship in Finals of Doubles. BAIRD LOSES SEMI.FINALS The finals of the doubles in the tennis tournament yesterday ran to forty-one games before the Adams brothers, Will and Joe, were able to win three sets from Cub and Ced Potter. The two teams of brothers were evenly matched and the first set ran to four games all, before the Adams’ team were able to take the lead and make it a 6-4 victory. The second set with the Potter brothers on the north court with the wind in their favor was even more bitterly fought out and the speedy accurate playing brought repeated ap- plavse from a good sized gallery at the Field club to watch the match. The third set was an off time for the Adams boys and the Potters walked away with it, 6-3, ad the gal- lery just about decided that the Pot- ters ‘might do what they had been doing in their previous games, wait until the odds were against them and then come up and win, but in the fourth set only eight games were necessary to allow the Adams boys to win, 6-2, thereby winning the match, the tournament, and a pair of handsome Thermos bottles donated as a prize by the Burgess-Nash com- pany. The Style Differs. The styles of play adopted by the two teams of brothers ditfered widely, The Potters adopted tactics in which they are experts, driving the ball hard and fast and trying to “kill it They did slip many.of their shots ast the Adamses, but as Cub Potter i s not been playing a great deal this summer, his _shots were not as well and accurately d as in previous tournaments artd the smdr consistent { play of the opponents placing: their lh&l carefully and keeping them in bounds with great reliability finnally ' told and the Potters drove themselves out of the game.

NEW YORK STOCKS Extreme Depression in Fore- noon and Sharp Rebound in Afternoon Features. WAR ISSUES ARE WEAK New York, July 14 —Extreme depression in the forencon when numerous speclalties dropped to lowest prices of recent months of the year, and a sharp rebound in the afternoon, when losses were largely re- placed by substantial gains, constituted the contrasting features of today's feverish mar- ket.” In keeping with the movement of the early week, weakness was most acute in the war issues, notably the equipments, in- dustrials and motors, together with coppers, United States Industrial Alcohol and Mexi- can Petroleum. Losses in Crucible and Lackawanna Stesls, American and Baldwin Locomotives, New York Afr Brake, Inspiration and Tennessee Copper and Alcohol, ranged from 1 to 4 points, but United States Steel at no time fell more than a fraction and was among the first to recover. An assortment of unclassified stocks, Including the fertilizers, moved with the early current of liquidation, their losses of 1 to 2 points resulting more from the lack of demand than actual pres- sure. Canadian Pacific, Reading, Lehigh Valley and Norfolk & Western furnished the basls of forenoon pessimism, with recessions of 1 to 1% points, but the free absorption of Reading in the final hour helped to turn the scales. Shipping stocks were moderately heavy ht offerings, but came forward with ater, Final prices recorded numerous the only notable exceptions being ee Copper, Crucible Stesl and Bald- win, Bhort covering was a factor of no small importance, toward the adjustment of quoted values.

Ira took Ralph Mulford’s Hudson in hand and shot! a lap at 101 and gets ninth position. Vail will drive this Hudson, as the, one he owns went cuckoo on him Thursday. The cars will start this afternoon| two in a row. Ralph Mulford will| get the pole on the first line with Dario Resta occupying the higher position.

De Palma, Eddie Rickenbacher, Dave Lewis, Billy Muller, Art Klein and Mel Stringer were some of the other| drivers out yesterday to take a few more spins before putting the final touches to their motors. All turned some fast laps, especially Resta and Mulford. | Much speculation is rife among the speed enthusiasts over the probable victor in today’s races. The wise ones are inclined to lean toward Dario Resta and Ralph De Palma, although Ralph Mulford and Eddie Ricken- bacher have many supporters. Wil- bur D’'Alene and Baby Pete Hender- son are also granted a chance. Rick the Favorite. Eddie Rickenbacher, of course, will go to the post with the big majority of the attendance pulling for him. Omaha regards Rick as itsown, and his winning way and genial personal- ity have made him popular with ev- erybody. There won't be a tear shed, or an expression of regret heard, if Eddie leads the field home. And Eddie will be right there to put up a battle, too. His car isn't as fast as some of the others, but he's| a driving fiend, is Eddie, and he knows how to drive the Omaha track as none of the others do. If his car holds together, he'll be up among the leaders. The knowing ones are anticipating a brush between Resta and De "Palma that should be nothing short of won- derful. For be it known Messrs. Resta and De Palma are almost dead- lacked for first place in the race for the American championship trophy. Resta now has 1,800 points, while De Palma is right on his heels with over 1,600. If De Palma wins the race to- day he will pass Resta. If Resta wins he will gain a good lead on De Palma that will take Ralph some time tc! overcome.
