AMERICAN TENNIS PLAYERS
ASTONISH THE BRITONs
The Service and Net Play of the Wis.,
ftors at the Queens Club Is
Revelation.

LONDON, June 22-The American in
ternational lawn tennis team is playing
grand tennis at the Queens Club, easily
defeating all corners. The form the
Americans are showing preceding the all
England championships, international
matches and the other events in which
they are entered is already causing nerv-
BUSINESS among the English, continental
and colonial cracks.
The service and net play of the Amer
leans seem to be revelation to the Eng
lish players. This has been particularly
noticeable in the doubles, in which Beals
c. Wright and Holcombe Ward complete
ly cazed their opponents with their in
play and brilliant crosses, eliciting al
most continuous applause. In the fourth
round of singles in the London champion
ship games at the Queens Club to-day
Beals c. Wright of Boston, Mass, beat
McNair, 6-1. 6-3. 6-1.
In the open doubles, third round. Hol-
combe Ward and Beals c. Wright (Amer-
icans) beat A. ]. Malcolm and s.. G.
Walker, 6-2,, 60. CT. In the gentlemens
championship, fourth round, Holcombe

B0OKIES SETTLE TROUBLES
WITH RACING ASSOCIATION
Three of the Leaders Are SqueIched and
One Ceases to Visit the
Track.

NEW YORK. June 22.-Trouble be-
tween the Jockey Club stewards and
members OF the Metropolitan Turf AS
sociation OF Bookmakers. which has
been on for several months because the
turf authorities withdrew from the as
sociation members their exclusive priv
ileges in the betting ring and compelled
them to buy tickets on entering the
tracks, has come TO an end.
Three bookmakers. who for some
time had dominated the associations
affairs and had become imbued with an
idea that they were in personal control
of the Eastern turf, have been
squelched. One of them ceased to visit
the track, II being reported that he is
I'll.
Through negotiations carried on by
the fourth member of the associations
governing committee IL has been agreed
by the stewards TO allow only ten in
dependent books on the inner line of
the betting ring and they will be placed
closure, while the NETS" will be al
lowed to fill the side lines of the ring
In return for these privileges the
bookmakers will contribute purses to
overnight sweepstakes and will be un-
der an expense on this score OF about
$4,000 daily. II is expected the new
turn IN turf affairs will result in a re-
duction of admission to the race tracks.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

It's nose and nose with the Seals and
the Tigers now and a wink will put a
new leader in the chase for the baseball
pennant. But 1t must be the right kind
OF wink. The Seals have had the right
dope on the Angels for three days now.
Ii fate will remain at the helm for the
balance of the series and do what's
right San Francisco will be a headliner
once again. They waddled In yesterday,
score 4 to 3.
Dolly~Gray's heave to the first bag in
round number four was the good night
high sign of the occasion. Dolly whipped
that ball So strongly and so far that two
runners scored and another trotted to
third and landed after a brief rest there.
The Angels made bic soon after. but
the Seals took a brace before the score
was quite tied, so the result at the finish
was unchanged
Each team had a run when the Seals
came up for theirs in the fourth. Hide
brand profited by a base on balls and
Irwin was walloped in the Stats. Nealon
laid down a pretty bunt which Dolly
Gray seized and tried to whip to first.
His wing proved much too strong for the
distance and the ball kept right on TO
the bleachers while Irwin and Hildebrand
hesitated not till they reached the pan.
Nealon pulled up nat third and Wilson
sent him in with long fly to Bernard.
The Seals began to get wobbly in the
fourth and it came near oeing evening
for them. Williams walked Bernard and
Nealon booted Floods drive. He tried
to peg TO Williams when Dick covered
the bag. but his wing was wrong. Will
liams picked up the ball after a scramble
and pegged to third. The leather again
went astray letting Bernard in. Flood
pulled up at second and started for home
when Smith dispatched a siZzler at Goch-
nauer. Johnny grabbed the leather and
whipped it into first, mailing Smith Nea-
lon returned ii to the pan and Wilson
made stab at Flood as Timothy
sprawled in. Umpire Davis said safe. -
though every fan on the lot swore Flood
was out by at least one city block.
As soon as the Angels went into the
field Mr.. Dillon paid the umpire a high
compliment by calling him an ordinary
crook. Mr.. Davis thought the remark
out of place on a ball field and i'm
mediately banished Mr.. Dillon after as
sessing him five bucks. Eager finished
the game at first base. The Angels
seemed to get along all right without
their cap.
Spencer pulled off the spectacular stunt
of the day with two gone IN the ninth.
Bernard started one for the fence that
had a two-base label on It, Spence
hooked it with one mitt with his back
against the fence. The Seals started
another rally in the eighth when Waldron
and Wheeler bingled. Irwin then hit to
Flood and double play made a run
impossible.
Uncle figures that Hit can beat the
Angels again this afternoon. SO the bush
southpaw will have to work again. Hen
ley's arm is a bit to the bad. but Hank
thinks he will be right by tomorrow
The Seals will make desperate effort
to take the Angels over the route seven
times this series The score:

CLAIMS UNION SQUARE
PROJECT is ILLEGAL
City Engineer Says Law Pro-
hibits Construction of Ar
cade ON the Avenue.

City Engineer Woodward ventured
the opinion yesterday that the proposed
improvement of Union-sQuare avenue,
between Kearny and Stockton streets,
by the construction of an arcade there
on could not be legally done. Wood
ward says that the use of the public
streets in the manner proposed is ex-
pressly prohibited by the charter and
ordinances now in effect. passed by the
Board of Supervisors.
Woodward believes the Improvement
a very desirable one from an esthetic
point of view, but claims that the
Board OF Public Works has not the
power to grant a permit for the carly
ing out of the project
1T is surprising to me that the pro-
moters of the scheme appear to be
going ahead with it In apparent igno-
rance Of the law prohibiting the main
tenance OF obstructions on the streets"
said woodward Again, every archi-
tect knows that the plan as outlined
will constitute a direct Violation Of the
building ordinance and therefore could
not be legally accomplished. A permit
for the scheme could not be granted
by the Board of Works. no more than
permission could be granted to install
an awning to cover the roadway OF
any public thoroughfare. The law Is
plain on the point and the Merchants'
Association has been vigorous IN ex-
acting compliance herewith"

rainstorm at the end OF the eleventh

tween Harvard and Yale on Soldiers

ments for the second game will be

Yale scored an earned run at the

several opportunities were offered by
both sides. but the superb pitching and
sharp fielding prevented further runs
