 HURT ON DIAMOND

Nashville. August 22.-(SpeciaD Last seasons Vanderbilt football captain, Bill Neely. is walking exhibit calculated to throw light upon the much mooted ques- tion of the relative dangers of football and baseball, for after playing four years on the gridiron as bacllfeld man and heinz tackled several thousand times and getting off with a dislocated little finger on his right hand, he lines up in sum- nIer country baseball game and gets broken arm. And the more peculiar fea- ture of the case is that the fractured member which is now in splints and which was disabled with pitched ball while playing with the "Smyrny.' Tenn, team, produced a base hit when the ac- cident occurred. The entire outfit on both sides. so reports the wounded, was cry much to the rural, and while at the hat at a critical stage of proceedings. in an attempt to do the Casey act, he swung viciously, a measly infield hit resulting which he beat out. The um- pire thinking he hit the ball with l4e bat allowed the play to stand and it was, not until after the inning was over was il allowed to be known that his arm was broken. sf

TENNIS CHAMPS
 LOSE OLD HONORS

Newport, R. l., August 22.-The na- tional championship in lawn tennis doubles passed today into new hands Raymond D. Little and Gustave F. Touchard of New York. the challengers, defeated Frederick B. Alexander and Harold H. Hackett, the four-year hold CTS. in three out of four sets. The scores were 7-5, 1915, 6-2, GA.
 The match was one of the longest that has been played in a championship match on the Casino courts for many years and came down to a question of endurance in which Little and Toucha I'd proved better.
 The challengers started the match by making Hackett the object of attack and repeated shots on his side of the court developed surprising unsteadi- ness on his part. The set went to Lit tie and Touchard after 12 games had been played.
 In the second set the defenders played more progressively and Little bore the brunt of their shots. The set ran through to 2s games before Alexan- der and Hackett won.
 The long second set appeared to have wearied the defenders, and Little and Touchard had no difficulty in taking the third set. although toward the last Alexander and Hackett made brave rally.
 The fourth, and what proved to be the last set, came down to question of endurance and the defenders weakened under the strain, although ten games were necessary to decide the match and the championship. The result was a surprise. as 1t was generally believed Alexander and Hackett would win for a fifth time.

President of Insurance Commission CTS Talks Plainly at Mill
 waukee Convention

Milwaukee, Wis, August 22.-A num- Der of industrial. health and accident in- srrance companies were severely criti- oised by President Joseph Button of Virginia in his annual address this fore ncon before the 42d national convention of state insurance commissioners, which will continue through Friday. In addi- ton to nearly every state being repre- sented, number of expert insprance men. are in attendance.
 President Button said that an investi- gation by a committee of IA or 15 com paries doing health and accident busi- ness resulted in disclosures that were shocking in the extreme.
 'Instead of passing the adjustment of claims upon equitable principles said lfr. Button some of the companies ex- 9mined resorted to every form of trick cry and deceit and even forgery and theft in order to escape their honest ob- ligstions. This was all the more out rageous in view of the fact that these frauds were perpetrated upon the poorer classes, who in the very nature of things should be given every possible protec- tion.

 With so slight a margin between the three teams now, it looks like a toss- up as to which club will emerge the winner on October'12. Chicago ends it's last series with New York in the east today and crosses the river to Brook 1yn, where Chicago has won but thre games out of eight this. year. New York continues on home grounds this week, meeting Pittsburg. which it has beaten in five out of the seven games in New York.
 The standing today of the leaders is:
