Brookline, Mass, July 19.-Beals c.
Wright, just returned from England,
won the star contest today in the third
round of the goth annual Longwood
Cricket club tennis tournament in sin
giles, when he defeated Nat w. Niles,
the Massachusetts champion, in a four
set match Niles has defeated all the
crack players of late in Journeys
around New York
After having lost the first two sets,
6-3, 6-3, Niles got his stroke working
and turned what appeared to be
rout into a win IN the third set BY
exercising all his cunning, Wright
captured the fourth set Sc, after
Niles by brilliant rally when the score
was to 1 against him had run the
game to deuce. Wright used his chop
by strokes to their greatest advant-
age and had Niles running at top
speed.

PIRATES APE Hooooos
FOR CHANCES CUBS
Pittsburs is Hardest Team for Chicago
to Beat.

John King. the Cub catcher and
Kansas City billiard man, has an idea
that the Cubs will have to fight the
Pirates for the pennant in the end. He
is of the opinion that McGraw's men
are travelling a bit faster pace than
they should. and when it comes to the
hard grinding finish that the Cubs and
Pirates Will have to fight * out.
King also has a great deal of re-
spect for the men of Clarke. Does not
believe they can lick Chances men
and grab their second pennant.
Nothing of that sort.
THAT Pittsburg club is by far the
hardest club in the National league for
us to beat says the catcher, who, by
the way, has returned to form and is
catching like the Killing of old.
You know il is a peculiar team -.
that aggregation commanded by
Clarke. It's a strange thing in baseball,
but there is always one club in the
league that can give you more trouble
than all the others in the bunch.
fhe Pirates are tho hoodoo of the
Cubs.
Everything they try against us
works. They get man on first and
the hit and run signal is given May
be we catch ii ard ] signal for pitch
out What happens? The Pirate bat
ter throws his bat at the ball and hits
it. 1t goes floating to the outffeId for
a Texas Lacquer.
Luck? The Pirates have more luck
