PITTSBURG, Aug. The row in

Exposition Park was the sole topic of
conversation yesterday
For once sermons had 10 take a back

battle between Pittsburg players and the
New York players at the Monongahela
House on Thursday evening.
Davy Brain, with some friends, went
TO the hotel looking for Dan McGann,
whom he had promised in the game OF
that day 10 whip on sight. Brain claim

NEW YORK. Aug. John L. Sulli-
van while training Mccormick for his
fight with Gus Rubin, next Friday
night, has been as careful OF the big
fellow as mother would be Of her
kid.
Well, he is yet for that matter. and
watches his man like q hawk. Every
thing that Jack does John has to hear

The Rubin Mccormick fight. re-

writer's seem to think that it is the
Battle Of the HOLSTERS. We are all
entitled to an opinion. but right here
let US say that there's going 10 be

made great fights against Fitz-. Sharkey
and Jeffries We know his faults and
failings and his good deeds and just
exactly what Gus can and cannot do.
Mccormick is the dark horse He is
not the Mccormick who put Kid Mccoy
out in round. No, that IS the McCor-
mick who managed Marvin Hart. This
fellow IS Mccormick of Texas sir. He
has been travelling with John L. Sui

HEADWORK A PLEASURE
Ward and Wright Made Hit With Eng
hshme1 by Method Of
Advancing.

American tennis enthusiasts cannot
fail to be interested in the criticism of
our players in the recent match for the
Davis International Trophy. A leading
writer III the Pail Mall Gazette has the
following TO say anent the great match:
The international doubles. played at
Wimbledon, was q great game, Ward
and Wright, the Americans, met +. f,
and II. L. DOherty, and after a splendid
match were beaten by sets to >, the
scores being: SO, e., e.. Is, Sc.
The play all round was very fine. The

receivers partner stood a little inside
the service line, and the receiver was
thus enabled TO quickly range alongside
him, and then the brothers yolIeyed

Condemned Tactics.
II have always condemned these tao
ties as unsound against the modern
game. and the famous brothers Endorsed
in practice that which. in spite of con-
siderable opposition, I have always
stoutly maintained as the proper game.
1t may be mentioned. too. that the
Americans always adopt this formation.
Both up or both back. always in a
line across tie court, is their motto, and
il is absolutely sound. The volleyii1g of
the famous brothers was very good
Their headWOrk was a pleasure to
watch, and il was quite pretty, to leave
the science out of the question. TO see
them advance in line speedily TO the
attack directly they had made an open
ing. Their performances at the cham
pionship tournament and at this meet
ing stamp them as without doubt the
finest players. both in doubles and sin
gies in the world.
Ward and Wright are entitled to
every credit for the fine game they
put up.
Strong Points.
They are strong at every point. HOI-
combe Ward should cultivate his fore
hand drive u little more. for it is often
badly wanted in a double where quick
dropping cross-cOurt passes are always
required. and probably no one knows
SO Well as he does that you cannot drop
a chop as quickly as a lifted ball.

baSe-line position for the strikers out,
OF the close position to the net for vol
leying, OF cut for giving accuracy and
deicacy IN dealing with the ball. and
OF the natural grip of the racket as
used all over the world except in Eng
land, has been proved time and again

The National regatta to be held at

The fact that for the first time in the
