WRIGHT LOSES TO
: WILLIAM J. CLOTHIER
Bv Associated Press.


NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 29.-The ease
with which William J. Clothier of Phil
adelphia won the national lawn tennis
championship from Beals C. Wright
of Boston, last years holder, on the
Casino courts today was one of the
surprises of the tennis year. A victory
for Wright or at least a hard fought
contest was anticipated, but that Clo-
thier should win in straight sets 6-3,
60, 6-4, was beyond the calculations of
even the closest followers of the sport
Wright's playing was so per cent be-
low the form shown on the same court
last year when he won the title from
Holcomb Ward. Clothier displayed a
well balanced game, carefully played
and skillfully executed.
At the net he was like a stone wall
against which Wright hammered in
vain, unable to either go around or
over It, Had Wright been able to put
the same force into his returns that
he did last year, the result might have
been different, perhaps, or the match
extended to four or five sets.
Clothier's play was entirely for
Wrights back hand. He frequently
caught the last years champion off his
feet, and the ball struck the court far
out OF reach. The fact that Clothier
scored 43 passes or place shots to 10
for Wright, shows at once the superb
ority of the new champions game.

HYLAND LEAVES
FOR THE NORTH.
NATIVE SON WANTS ANOTHER
MATCH
Much Speculation Arises Regarding
Relative Merits of Principals
In Tuesday Nights
Battle

Aftermaths of ring contests are gen.
orally lively affairs but that in rogress
relative to the Thompson-Hyland con-
test has resulted in a flood of specula-
ton regarding what might hive hap
pened had the bout not ended in such
an unsatisfactory manner.
The decision of Referee Robinson in
awarding the decision to Thompson
after the foul blow in the ninth is re-
ceiving commendation from practically
every witness of the battle, Hyland
supporters taking the general view of
the situation.
The little native son had no protest
to offer beyond saying that he could
not have stopped the thrust. The
statement may be true but neverthe-
less a foul was committed and Hyland
suffered. If the blow was uninten-
tional, Hyland had lost his head in the
excitement of the moment and failed
to realize that Thompson was on his
knees.
Whatever the trend behind the bad
play a breach occurred which could
not have possibly been overlooked by
ring official and there was absolutely
nothing for Robinson to do but render
the decision which he did.
Claim has been made that a man
fouled as Thompson appeared to be
could not possibly have reganed his
feet. A close inquiry leads to the be-
lief that Thompson was fouled and
badly. whatever may be said to the
contrary. Whether he could have
withstood the severe body punishment
delivered by Hyland is another thing.
The Hyland boy started upon a frame
smashing battle that according to all
ring standards would have materially
weakened any man of equal weight.
Sent in at short range the thrusts sank
heavily into Thompson's anatomy and
the crushing force boded no good for
the Sycamore boy.
At the same tune Thompson was any
thing but gentle, smashing to the body
and landing time and again to the
face. Nothing less than a future bat
tie will settle the question of SUI
premacy.
Manager McClintic was out with a
challenge yesterday in which he Of
fered to place a $1,000 side bet that
Hyland would defeat Thompson under
the same conditions as those which
governed Tuesday evenings fray. Hy-
land and his manager left for San
Francisco on the afternoon train
Adolph Becker, who is managing
Thompson, has not as yet decided
whether he will consent to a return
match but will demand that Hyland
act as the pork and beans" end of the
proposition In the event of an agree
rnent.

IT PROVES TOO GOOD TO KEEP
Practical Joker Cannot Suppress His
Mirth and Receives Thrashng
From His Victim
Special to The Herald.

Special to the Herald.
FORT COLLINS, Colo, Aug. N.-A
practical joker came to grief yesterday
at the hands of an angry farmer who
was made the victom of one of his
jokes. One day last week James Mar
shall, young man who is working on
the farm of William Lambert south
east of this city, telephoned to young
lady and asked permission to take her
to a dance. When asked who he was
he gave the name of a prominent young
ranchman in that vicinity The un
suspecting maiden readily agreed to
accompany him to the dance and pa
tiently awaited his arrival last night.
The young man, however, knew
nothing of the appointment and took
another girl to the ball. Next day he
was called upon to explain his actions
and stoutly denied having asked her
to go to the dance with him. Marshall
thought it too good joke to keep and
told several friends about 1t. The angry
young swain soon heard that Marshall
was the cause of his troubles and yes
terday morning gave him good
thrashing.

Angel City baseball will be formally
launched at a meeting to be held in
Senator Corney Pendelton's Office this
afternoon with President Bert and Sec
retary Cal Ewing of the Pacific Coast
league in attendance.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Ewing
missed late train at Oakland Tues
day, the session scheduled for yester-
day afternoon was postponed.
President Bert denied last night the
purport of published statement quot
ing him as declaring Fresno out of the
league. He said
IT could have no reason for making
such a statement at this time because a
meeting of the league officials must be
held before arbitrary action can be
taken.
''There is possibility, however. that
Portland, Seattle and Fresno may not
be members of the league next year
and in that event Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Oakland and Pasadena will
be the cities composing the league.
