Lost Four SO Far This
Season.
From the New York Sun.

Marquard's achievement of twelve con-

pitching performance OF the year, but
there is another. which, while not as good.
is nevertheless exceptionally good. 1t con-
sists Of the work of the sterling right
handler Walter Johnson, slabman with
quite as much speed as Marquard and a
master workman on the peak in every

were he pitching for the Giants he would
have won all his games. that being an
argument often set forth in behalf Of a
tiptop pitcher, but 1t is doubtful II that
contention holds good Johnson has a
pretty good team behind him as 1t is.
The Washingtons have been playing first
class ball.
AS a matter of fact the greatly in
creased percentage of wins made by john

improved playing of the team supporting
him. However. that doesn't detract from

FORCES JAMES TO
PLAY AT HIS BEST
Britton, Although Losing, Did
Some Fine Work in YeSter-
days Match in Tourney.

By putting up one Of the best games Of
his career. John Britton forced r. l..
James Of Philadelphia to extend himself
to the limit in their match yesterday
afternoon in the challenge round for the
middle Atlantic states tennis title, all
five sets being necessary before the title
holder could gain the decision. 1-8, to,
6-8, 0-S and 6-1. The closeness OF this
match is in reality a victory for the local
man. as James is a much older and more
experienced player and should have won
out In straight sets. He is ono Of those
who has nothing to do tin tomorrow"
and tomorrow" never comes, so he is
playing tennis all Of the time and COM
petes in almost every tournament in this
part Of the country.
Throughout the match James depended
on speedy cut shot. over which he
seemed to have perfect control, and he
scored many points on 1t. He played his
game from the back court line. going to
the net on but few occasions. His serv-
ice was not as hard as that OF Britton,
but It seemed to be every bit as effective,
as Britton had no control over his.
When he got his first ball over James
rarely ever managed to return II, but he
got 1t over very seldom. He had to let
up SO much on his second that James
could do almost anything he liked with
directed shots which gave Britton no op-
portunity for return.
Britton seemed to be "all in" In the
last set, and James took 1t in quick time,
allowing the challenger but single
game. The card for this match follows:

VALUE OF AEROPLANES.
Engaging Attention of Nearly All
Nations.

NEW YORK. June 1O.-The value O,
aeroplanes in warfare is engaging the
attention Of all nations. Since the re-
markable display by England's lates,
hydro-aeroplane before King George
the flying machine has been invested
with special Importance. Gen Hender-
son, the responsible head Of the army
aviation in England. recently outlined
the main functions Of aircraft in war
and indicated the chief requirements
that military aeroplanes should pos
sess. There is not the least doubt. in
his opinion. that two definite and dis
tinct types OF military aeroplanes
would be evolved in the near future
In the first place. the scouting machine
designed solely for obtaining and
transmitting information. and by its
side the heavier and more cumbrous
fighting machine. destined to seek out
and engage the enemy's aeroplane.

By II. c. BYRD.

One of the hardest problems that the
amateur commission has to solve in or
der to prevent dissatisfaction cropping
out in the various circuits is to arrange
matters so that the teams in each league
will be of as nearly equal strength as
possible. Nine-tenths of the wrangles
that have occurred in the last two sea-
sons have arisen from the fact that one
stronger than the others that the pennant
race was made one-sided affair.
A few days ago a man interested in
amateur ball brought up the question and
stated that it was his belief that there
would always be wrangles in the game
until the commission graded the teams
into leagues, in which they would have a
chance to win the pennant. 1t was his
opinion that while an almost complete
reorganization would have to be effected
It would in the end be Of inestimable
benefit.
After a lot of consid eration 1t appears
that there is a great deal more in the
case at first glance. That the amateur
commission could take the initiative and
rectify the situation seems certain, pro.
vided the teams were willing to take their
chances in a circuit In which they would
have to work to win the pennant.
One great trouble that the presidents
of the various circuits have to contend
with is the continual objections on the
part of some managers to allowing bet
ter teams to receive franchises, and on
the other hand the best leagues find Il
difficult to get together the best clubs,
because the clubs want to get into some
circuit in which they stand better
chance to win the pennant. It il only
natural that men should want to get
where they have the best chance to win,
and 1t is not right to censure for what is
only natural.
Something that might be considered by
the commission is the following: At the
beginning Of next season have every
team that is DESTROYS of playing in an
amateur circuit register itself. with the
provision that it would agree to play in
the classification in which it was placed.
Then 1t would be up to the men selected
to do the classifying to place the best
teams in one league, the next best in an
other, and SO on down the line until all
the clubs had been grouped according
to their relative abilities. Then after
the leagues. which would be made
up of teams of nearly the same strength,
rules might be made by which the
circuits could be allowed to draft
men from the weaker ones at the end Of
each season. The number of players to
be carried by each team and to be draft
ed from each club would have to be reg
ulated by the commission.
In other words, the plan advanced is
that which is being worked in organized

professional base ball That il would be
feasible in amateur ball is certain, and
one Of its best features would be that
after the clubs had registered their first
vantages Of q club. 1t would have no
better chance to get players than its
walker neighbor.
OF course, 1t might be said that it would
be impossible to classify the different
clubs into leagues in which the race would
be made an equal one. That may be true,
but there Is none who will deny that 1t
could be done with far greater accuracy
than is the case now. There are several
leagues in which one team is practically
assured the pennant before the race has
fairly begun.
At the end of every year the leagues
are generally classed into groups so that
each will be composed Of teams of as
nearly equal strength as is possible to get
them, and IL that is the case, If it is nee
essary to classify the different teams at
the end of the season, why, then. do
not the same conditions exist at the be-
ginning of the year?
That ball game this afternoon between
the knights of Columbus and Bagies
gives every indication Of being one Of
the best contests that have been pulled of
this season between two amateur clubs.
Each organization has secured the very
best athletic talent Of which the District
stone is being left unturned that seems to
have influence on the result.
The real quality Of the ball that may
be expected can be realized when it is
considered that Gam Edmondston.
Jack Hurley. Babbington. Clark and
Buscher are some OF the men who will
play with the Knights. 1t is reported
that the club which Will represent the

The athletes who are to represent the

be difficult matter from one standpoint
and from another it will not. 1t is not
