Whaling and Colbath, chalked up four runs on the Cananea end af the sccreboard. Three more runs were added during the remainder of the game for good measure and because there was no logical way to keep from scoring. The Pass City bunch drew two tallies in the third inning. Ozee singled and Pop Edmunds knock ed one Of the few home runs of his long career But the way Captain Lamar stalled for the rain that didn't come was worthy of Quintus Tabius Maximus in the height of his strategy The rain cloud lowered dangerously near the park for an exasperating period, but finally drifted toward the Oias.
 The game was replete with heavy hitting and brilliant fielding. Ton Whaling and Bdroldy coverel them selves with glory. The whole team did wonderfully well. Wha. Max Rearr- don didn't do Sunday in the pitching line would not fill many pages 10 tell.

Yet he let the locals down with three singles-less than any other pitcher has allowed ol thete fast ground here. Lamar pitch the last two innings and got away with it remarkably well, but. since it would take about two men to fill his place on the infield, the Sockets night fall down with him in the box throughout a game.

CLOTH|ER BEATS
WESTERN EXPERT

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 26.-For the
William j. Clothier, of Philadelphia,
has reached the final round of the ma
Casino courts, by virtue of his victory
over Thomas c. Bundy, of Los Angeles,
in the semi-fnals, three sets to one. In
1903 Clothier a the runner-up in the
Newport event, being defeated in the
finals by H. L. Doherty, the English
crack, while In the following year he
reached the same stage, only to be de-
feated by Holcombe Ward. In 1906 ne
defeated Karl Behr in the final round
and won the championship from Beals
c.. Wright in the challenge round.
From the outset it had been expected
that he would come safely through to
the finals this year, the only real I'M
certainty being over his match with
Behr in the fifth round, which proved
an easy one for the former champion.
Meantime there has arisen a new fig
ure among the premier tennis players
of the country in the person of NJ. E.
Mclaughlin, the young Pacific coast
champion, who has not yet attained his
majority, and 1t is he who will match
his skill against the long-armed Phila-
delphian today. Mclaughlin has not
come through his six matches by acct
dent, for his opponents have included
such expert players as r. H. Palmer.
G. F. T%ouchard and the speedy Cali
fornian, Melville II. Long. McLoughlin
won from Touchard in the semi-hnaIs

Neither Clothier nor Mclaughlin WAS

The articles of agreement were signed
by Barry for himself and McCarey for
the club today, and were forwarded to
San Francisco for Johnson's signature.
The articles show that the local fight
magnate intends to bill the September
battle as a worlds heavyweight cham
~pionship affair. 1t is well understood.
however, that the only way the title
could change hands would be for Barry
to win by knocking johnson out. This
point was definitely settled a few weeks
ago when Wolgast whipped Battling
Nelson to a standstill, yet never SO
much as chirped about claiming the
Danes title on the strength of the
newspaper decision"
The articles name Charles F.. Eyton
as referee, and state that Johnson Is

gross receipts, whichever is the largest,
for his services. Barry will be paid
