should net the Nationals q bigger share
of victories.

1t is not every catcher that can handle
the delivery of Walter Johnson. Charley
Street. in fact, Is the only one Of the
local backstops who has made success
of it with Johnson on the rubber, and
unlike the others he e:s>ys catching the
speed delivery of the Idaho Wonder.
Cliff Balkenship only made one attempt
10 catch Johnson during the period that
he was with the Nationals, and he made
such a glaring failure of it that he had to
get out of the game, and took an oath
there and then that he would never make
another attempt to catch johnson. Jack
Hardy, who was let out few days ago,
was another catcher who found that he
could not handle Johnson's fast shoots.
He, too. made an attempt and then gave
it up. 1t is not only because Johnson has
great speed that he is hard to catch, but
his balls shoot both in and out, and, what
is more, there are always lot of foul
tips made. off Of his delivery which are
dangerous to the catcher's hands.
Street, however, experiences little trou-
BILE holding Johnson, and he has also been
very fortunate in escaping foul tips.
To date Meyer of Youngstown is the
only pitcher McAleer has corralled.
though it is evident that his team is in
need of more pitching strength. But
it is never figured difficult to get
pitchers. That at least is the theory
that most clubs go on. Pitchers are
developed much more rapidly than
players for other positions. Every lad
starts out as pitcher as a rule. though
he may shift to some other position
after while.
McAleer expects to draft and pur-
chase several pitchers this fall, for he
needs at least two running mates for
Johnson, Walker and Groom to give
him formidable looking staff for next
season.
1t is not likely that he will figure on
"a another season.
because Gray has not shown proper
class in his work, so that 1t is most
likely he will make an effort to secure
a left handler to take Gray'S place.

HOLY CROSS eleven
WILL PLAY TIGERS

WORCESTER, Mass. July 16.-Holy
Cross athletic authorities fired a shot last
night that dazed the athletic manage
ment at Dartmouth College, when the
local institution took away the Memorial
day base ball date from the Hanover
team and practically closed negotiations
for the substitution of Princeton for the
May 80 base ball date in Worcester.
As the result of both Fordham and
Georgetown dropping foot ball, Princeton
has recognized Holy Cross on her foot
ball schedule, and November has been
selected for the Princeton-Holy Cross
game in Princeton. Holy Cross will be
the last eleven played by Princeton pre-
vious to the Yale contest.
Approaching the Princeton foot ball
date, the authorities at Holy Cross say
that Princeton will be given the impor-
tant Memorial day contest. This means
that Dartmouth will be dropped by Holy
Cross for the big game Agitation against
Dartmouth started when Dartmouth re-
fused to give a Worcester date In foot
ball to Holy Cross. The announcement
Of the Princeton game means that Holy
Cross will not drop foot ball. 1t il said
that Dartmouth will undoubtedly get a
Memorial day date with Harvard.

ting will ever be attempted on a race

to John Condor. owner Of Harlem race

Mr.. Condon's remarks were made in re-

Whether / or anybody else around
Chicago will try to race this year l can
not say said Mr.. Condor. However,
50 far no plans have been made to open
up. Eventually l think the pari-mutuel
machines will solve the problem. Open

not thing the public or the authorities
will object to the machines after they
have been given a trial. Should 1 start
up again I certainly shall favor the ma

walls. The race will be sailed over a
triangular course, five nautical miles to
each leg.
The trophy, which was donated by Sir
Thomas Upton, has not arrived yet and
the local yachtsmen are at a loss as to
where 1t may have strayed. 1t was due
here early this week. but no word has
been heard from any source, only the
fact that 1t had been started on its

TIE IN ROGUE TOURNEY.
Play-Off by -Four Men Starts Mon.

PHILADELPHIA. July 16.-Admirers of
the game of rogue were yesterday ex-
hilarated by the many brilliant plays in
the contests in the tournament of the
Central Rogue Association, now holding
its annual tournament at the grounds of
the Quaker City Rogue Club The games
in the first division were particularly
exciting owing to the closeness of the
scores. Webb's victory over Hogeland.
after a magnificent uphill game. made 1t
possible for FELTON, and Cramer to tie with
Hogeland for first place. THESE three
players have each played all of their
games, This will necessitate a play-off.
the first game of which will be played
Monday night. The drawings for the
play-off make FELTON, meet Hogeland.
The winner of each contest will meet the
other, and the winner Of the final game
will be champion. There was no change
in the standing of the players of the
second division. Rev. Hartman is still in
the lead, nine wins to three losses. having
played all his games. Yonkers must win
all Of his five remaining games in order
to tie. This practically assures the cham
pionship of the second division to the
dominic.
Rodman has maintained his position as
leader of the third division, although it is
possible for any Of the entries outside Of
Scott to win. Chances, however. favor
Rodman. Result of yesterdays games:
First division-Brooks beat Bean. Young
beat Brooks, FELTON, beat Young, Webb
beat Hogeland. Cramer beat Webb and
Kirk beat Webb.
Second division-Wray beat Webb, Will
hanson beat Webb. Wray beat William

BRILLIANT TENNIS ON
THE. SEABR|CHT COURTS
G. F. TOuChard Defeats T. R.
PeII in the Most Daz-
zIing Fashion.

NEW YORK. July 16.-All the wizardry
of Gustave F. Touchard's lawn tennis
was revealed yesterday in his match in
the semi-final round of the Achelis chal-
lenge cup singles on the turf courts OF
Club. at Seabright, N. ]. He defeated
Theodore Roosevelt Pell 8-3, g. and
at no stage was it possible for the latter
to solve the riddles Of pace and direc-
ton that Touchard propounded.
In the other semi-flnal match Nathaniel
w. Niles defeated his Harvard team
mate. Arthur 8. Dabney, after three long
deuce and vantage sets by a score of
6-8, 6-3, rs. 1t was fast lawn tennis,
and the closeness Of the score was In
large measure attributable to the fact that
each was intimately acquainted with the
methods of the other.
AS William J. Clothier, the holder of
the Achelis cup, is i'll with typhoid fever,
the winning of the trophy for this year
they will meet for the valuable prize this
afternoon.
1t is difficult to describe adequately the
game that Touchard plays. He is an
original genius of the lawn tennis courts,
who apparently has neither system nor
fashion. His game against Pell yesterday
was filled with surprises for the fashion
able spectators who fringed the court,
and likewise for Pell, who at times used
his racket like novice.
Whenever Pell believed that he had
solved the line of attack that Touchard
was next to develop he was compelled to
guess again. Touchard turned drives
into volley shots, smashed straight at his
man when he might Is easily have placed
at a distance In the court or popped up
lobs from the heat of a rally where a
drive for a pass seemed the natural re-
turn.
At the net or deep court-in fact, in
any position whatever-Touchard out
played Pell. And to the credit of Pell
be 1t said that he played for all he was
worth to at least get set; yet he was
never within hailing distance. There
were times, when Pell forced things at
close range. that Touchard rose to mas
terful flights. He seemed possessed of q
wrist of iron, and he whipped volley
shots across at Pell eventually forcing
an opening for pass. with hardly any
arm motion at all to his strokes, and he
scored the points almost as he pleased
The final round of the doubles also will,
be decided this afternoon. Harold H
Hackett and Frederick B. Alexander, the
national champions. meeting William A.
Larned, the national singles champion
who Is paired with George L. Wrenn, jr
Larned is playing the best lawn tennis OF
his long career this season. The two
matches will bring to an end q tourna-
ment that has been notable in many
ways.
