Ten to six tells the tale of the defeat OF
the ST. Vincent team yesterday at the
skilled hands of the Epiphany club, which
closed the series between the two teams.
On the ring line it was the elongated Mr..
Spence Hanvey against the notable Chunk
Wheatley. The latter box artist got his
bumps moderately hard in the fourth in
ming, when three Episcopal batters had
chance a Chunk twice, which resulted in
five runs to the good.
Hanveys cannon-lke shoots were raising
all kinds of havoc up to the third session,
when Turner landed on the first ball pitched
for nice hit. which put him on the third
cushion. Then two men went out and
Spaulding got through the pass gate and
Wheatley followed with a single, but sud-
denly Danny Ryan drove out a home run
over the ShedS-conceived to be the longest
on those grounds-and there was a ray OF
light, for the score stood S to 2 in their
favor-with prospects. But In the beginning
of the fourth Epiphany was rendered the
pleasure of knocking the ball all over the
lot-at the expense of Wheatley. Hits came
in rapid succession, and after Chambers
and Harvey had gone to bat twice Clear
made the third out by dropping fly to
Mack.
Howell, In the last of the fifth, came
home on passed ball, which ended further
happenings Of note. The genial arbitrator.
Mr. Newann. ended the matinee by calling
the game and allowing Epiphany to boast
of Its fourth straight victory from the

three hours talk last night between Man
ayers Willie Britt and Billy Nolan it was
decided that Jim Jeffries should referee the

so 1t went on with occasional Interruptions

nothing was being done.
Finally the matter was referred to the
newspaper men present and they were ask
ed to ballot for the referee. Britt and Nolan

journalists had settled on Eddie Graney and
Britt angrily declared he could not accept
Graney for personal reasons and that he
supposed 1t was understood that Graney!

So at last Coffroth suggested the using of
a coin for Jeff or Siler. Britt took heads for
Jeff and Nolan took tails for Siler and

VICTORY FOR FIFTH.
Defeated Calvary Baptist in Good
Game

The Athletic Association of Calvary Bap-
list Sunday School gave excursion to
Marshall Hall yesterday and had as their
guests the boys from the Fifth Baptist. A
game of ball had been arranged between the
teams representing the churches and good
one was looked for. Fifth came off VIC
torious by a score of 8 to 5, after seven
innings Of play. Neither team had its full
lineup, Fifth being minus its whole out
field while Calvary had no first baseman.
The grounds were in poor condition and con-
sidering other drawbacks such as the UNI
pire and the lacking of the regular men 1t
was a creditable exhibition. Fifth took the
lead in the third inning when they piled up
four runs. Calvary was never dangerous
after this and Fifth won hands down. Mat
thews deserves credit for having team out,
as since Westervelt quit he has taken
charge of everything and 1t was due to his
energy and sportsmanlike idea that the
game was arranged. Jesse" Carroll of
Fifth could not get his regular team, as
the boys are tired out after their practice
games in their preparation to meet Gunton.
There was a good-szed crowd and after the
game the boys Toasted and danced until
they were tired out. The score:

NATIONAL TENNIS TOURNEY.
Wright Meets Larned and Collins
Plays Hobart in Semi Finals.

Only four players of the original 105 who
were entered in the national tennis tourna-
ment remain in the running. and these will
appear In the semi-finals today at Newport,
they being paired as follows: Collins VS..
Hobart and Wright vs.. Larned. The latter
match is slated for the championship court,
and whoever wins it should be the opponent
of the champion. as in all probability either
Wright or Larned will have little trouble in
disposng of the winner In the upper half in
the all corners match. Considerable money
changed hands over yesterdays match be-
tween Wright and Clothier, not on the
question of winning. but on the showing
which Clothier was thought to be able to
make. his friends maintaining that the
Pennsylvania man would win at least one
SET from his renowned antagonist.
Beals C.FWright abundantIy justified the
faith which his friends reposed in him by
sending down to defeat in straight sets
William j. Clothier, in the fifth round.
thereby entering the semi-finals. 1t was a
diss strous defeat for Clother. who has been
rated as one of the stars in the list. 1t was
only in the first set that Clothier put up any
sort of a game. but he beat himself and
was very erratic and wild. In the last two
sets Wright outplayed him and was too
fast for him.
The match between Clarence Hobart and
Richard Stevens resulted in a reversal of
the verdict at Southampton when Stevens
defeated Hobart, who won, although he
dropped the first set. His win occasioned
a mild sort of surprise in some quarters,
but 1t is regarded as not likely to make any
difference in the outcome, for Collins, who
beat j. d. b. Jones, the Rhode Island cham
pion, would be likely to defeat either Stew
ems or Hobart in the semi-fnals. William
A. Larned had no difficulty in disposing of
Carl II. Behr, whom he took into camp in
three straight SETS The summary of the
days play was as follows:
All Corners singles-FIfth round-Kreigh Collins
