ENGLISH TENNIS MEN COMING.
The Davis Cup Team to Sail on tho
Adriatic Next Week.

NEW YORK, August 19.-The English
team of lawn tennis players who are 10
meet America in the semi-fnal round for
the Davis cup will sail for New York
next Wednesday on the Adriatic. The
men are C. 2. Dixon, A. III. Lowe and A.
E. Bemish, and they will reach here about
September /. This arrangement will give
them about weeks practice before the
contest, which will take place on the
courts of the West Side Tennis Club at
Broadway and 23sth street. According to
the latest schedule OF the Englishmen,
Dixon will play only in the singles while
the two others will do the work In the
doubles. They have been doing some
playing together OF late and the critics
who have seen them play are Of the opin-
ion that they work smoothly as team.
If the Englishmen carry out their inten-
tions they will be here only very short
time after they have played the matches.
The men have promised TO be back in
time for the South of England champion
ships. which begin at Eastbourne on sep
tember Is. That would mean that they
will board the ship the day after the last
of the series has been played. The
general opinion is that they may stay
around for week or so and play some
exhibition matches.

LONG AND bUNDY IN
SOUTHAMPTON FINALS
California Tennis Players De-
feat Rivals by Great Rallies
in Singles Matches.

SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y. August 19-
Melville II. Long and Thomas c. Bundy
revealed their true form by winning their
places in the cup finals of the singles
here yesterday on the courts of the Meadow
Club. Long staved off Theodore Roose-
Eelt Pel. the national indoor cham
pion, finally overwhelming him by the
score of S-1O, 6-3, IS. Bundy raced
Karl H. Behr, the former International
ist, off his feet at 4-6, Sc, Go.
Longs match with Pel was a duel at
driving. The rallies were fought at a
furious pace, with Pell leading at the
start. In the third set Pell worked up
lead of 5-3 and 30-love. The Californian
realized his danger. and he swept Pell
like chaff before him by wonderful as
sortment of drives, which did not allow
Pell to score another game.
The fiery net attack combined with
the rushes and slashing cross court shots
of Behr were dealt with by Bundy i'm
his crafty manner. He allowed his op
ponent to work himself cut. Never
throughout the thirty-two games did
Bundy exert himself unless he was COM
PEELED to- Behr finally weakened, and
when he did Bundy had things easy.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

The wisdom of recalling Long Tom
Hughes from Minneapolis last fall is
gradually being realized. The veteran
pitcher Is the only one of the players
secured last year who has really made
good. Barring the short period when
Hughes was under the weather he has
done excellent work for the team this
season, and he gives every indication of
finishing strong. AT no time during
Hughes career as member of the local
team has he done as good work as this
year. Though his arm is no longer as
strong as 1t might be. Hughes is the
only one of McAleer's pitchers who really
knows the fine points of the art NOT
one of the other pitchers could win ball
games with Hughes arm, and IL Hughes
had the arm of any one of the other
twirlers he would probably lose but few
games during a season.
Hughes wins his games because he
knows how to pitch. True, he has a
good curve ball and some speed, but his
principal asset is his knowledge of the
and will be fooling them even after he
finds it difficult to get the ball to the
plate.
McAleer in speaking of Hughes recently
said that in his opinion Hughes was sec
ond only to Ed Walsh when il came TO
Walsh accomplishes this feat frequently
because of his great speed and spit-ball,
while Hughes does 1t by outguessing the
batter.
If the Athletics win the pennant
again this year-and everything seems
to indicate that they will-Mack's team
is sure to be red-hot favorite in the
worlds series, regardless which of the
National League teams may oppose 1t.
The easy manner in which the Ameri-
can leaguers put the Cubs away last
season has not been forgotten. and it
teams will be able to beat the Mack
ties. However. there will be other dope
should the New York Giants be their
opponents. for in 1905 the Giants had
even easier picking beating the Ath-
letfcs than the latter did with the Cubs,
though. of course, Mack did not have
the team then that he has now. But
the great Mathewson would loom up
in such series. He has never lost a
game in any series of great Importance,
and he would undoubtedly prove most
to the Athletics. But. then,
of course, no one can tell which team
will be the winner in the National
League. Five Of them are still fairly
we'll punched. and 1t will probably be
late in the campaign before the winner
can be picked with any degree of cer-
tainty.
While Frank Chance was a playing
manager he seemed to be able to get
along smoothly with his players, but
since he has been directing his team
from the bench frequent run-ins are

ence of sitting on the bench. Perhaps
he is too critical with his players. for

ball players who stand chance OF
taking part in the worlds series would
do anything but put forth their best
efforts.

pitching early I'm the season his team

would have an average Of over .500 and
at the rate they are finishing they might
even bring themselves up into third place.
But that start put them out OF il and
nothing but a remarkable squirt from

When a team has strong pitching staff

Walker and Groom during the past month
shows McAleer to have quartet OF

youngsters in Becker and Cashion who
are sure to develop. Granting that this
pair pitches winning ball next year the
Nationals will be well fortified in this
respect, and IL several fast youngsters
can be placed in the positions now held
by slow veterans McAleer's chances of
gaining higher position in the race will
be decidedly bright. But the Importance
of good pitching must not be overlooked.
Without good pitching no team can win.
every other respect. The locals appear to
be well taken care of in this respect.
With every fight that Sam Langford
has he strengthens the opinion that Jack
Johnson would find most formidable
opponent in the Botson Tar Baby. The
champion, so the experts believe, would
probably win over Langford. but the lat
ter would prove tougher proposition
than any of the many white hopes and
even have a chance to win. Johnson un-
doubtedly realizes that to fight Lang
ford would mean a hard battle. and for
excuses for not meeting him. The claim
that fight between this pair would not
draw Is not based on facts, for the
chances are tha. any battle for the
worlds title would arouse a lot of in
