The Yankees slumped in the West, but
they finished their trip by taking series
from Chicago, and they returned TO take
whole series from st. Louis in such easy
fashion as to prove that they must have
been in the depths in st. Louis TO have lost
the series there. Detroit comes to town
to-day. and as the Yankees and the cham
pions arc tied for third place the series Is
highly important one. The Athletics are as
sure to win the pennant as anything IN
baseball is sure. but Boston. in second
place. is only one game ahead OF Detroit
and New York, and the fight for second
honors promises to be q pretty one. The
Yankees are better prepared for il now.

I.ouehlin who beat him at Longwood, at
Newport this morning. and the lawn tennis
world will be eager 10 see whether the
former champion can come back. The
chances are that the winner will be the
challenger of Larned for tho championship
The men are evenly matched but Wright
will have to use all his reserves Of skill
and experience 10 overcome the youth and
speed of the Californian. The match is
sure TO he q memcra BILE one, whatever the
result. Either c. F. Cutting or L. II.

him 81 Southampton. while Thomas ..
Bundy, another Californian, will be op-
posed to the veteran William 3. Cragins
jr. At q guess, Bundy looks like the fin
