WRIGHT TAKES TITLE AWAY.
First Time a Non-Rhode, Islander

PROVIDENCE. R. L.. August S.-Beals
C. Wright Of Boston captured the state

day. sending down to defeat in successive
sets OF none too startling tennis the run

phia- The score was g. g. 6-3 Thus
for the first time in its history the state
title goes out of Rhode Island.
Kennedy's showing was by no means as
creditable as it had been the day before
against Ames. He was evidently fighting
against not only Wright's skill, but also
his recognized reputation as a national
tennis star. and the thought handicapped
the younger player At times he showed
flashes Of capital form. but rarely, and
not until he made a good stand in the
third set, when Wright had him. did he
really get going at his best pace. The

DETROIT contract
Veteran Manager Agrees on
Terms for Two Years and
Will Remain With Tigers.

DETROIT, Mich, August S.-Presi-
dent Frank Navin Of the Detroit base
ball club knocked cold all the rumors
that have been circulated around the
circuit to the effect that Manager
Hughey Jennings would not be with
the Detroit Club another year by Offer
ing the popular Tiger leader two
year contract yesterday.
Jennings signed the contract with
out a moments hesitation.
Il am perfectly satisfied with Jen-
nings' work-the contract speaks for
ITSELF" said President Navin.
Jennings was not to blame for the
trouble that occurred on the team in
the earlier part Of the season. He has
done good work for the Detroit club
and the club appreciates his efforts.
1--WE must realize that nobody is let
ter perfect and we are all likely to
make mistakes once in a while. Jen-
nings is no exception to that rule
Jennings salary remains the same
for the next two years. By signing up
his manager for two years, President
Navin shows the. confidence that he
places in Jennings. In other words, the
clubs president does not blame Jen-
nings for the showing made by the
team this year.
A great effort is being made by the
club officials to plug up the weak
spots on the Detroit team and a few
of the old players will be cast adrift.
Next year jennings will be presented
with a much stronger team for the
race for the American League PEN
nant.
There had been a persistent rumor
going around the circuit that Jennings
would manage the Boston National
club next year and that Bill Dono-
van would succeed him in command of
the Detroit team.

Here are the opinions Of the great
est men in the game today regarding
the greatest pitchers. Read them and
see II you concur in their opinions:
Hugh Jennings-There are a num-
Der of great pitchers in the American
League. Ed Walsh is great and there
are others. although 1 believe Walter
Johnson is a little the best. In the
National League. Of course, / cannot
speak with as much knowledge, but L
doubt il they could put a man into the
field who could take Johnson's meas
ure.
Clark Griffith-Walter Johnson is
the greatest pitcher / have ever seen.
You may say that 1 think SO because
am managing Washington just now,
but that isn't the reason by a sooo
deal l said Johnson was the greatest
pitcher in the game last year when
was With Cincinnati and before L had
any idea whatsoever of ever joining
the Washington or any other ciuo In
the American League.
Robert Bescher-Marty O'Toole is
my particular hoodoo. He strikes me
out easier than any pitcher 1 ever
faced l won't say he is the greatest
pitcher in the National League; at
but he is undoubtedly the hardest one
for me to face. AS for the American
League, of course don't know so
much about its players. but what
have heard from a good many sources
leads me to believe that Walter john
son is about the best in the business.
Jake Daubert-The hardest pitcher in
the world for me to face is Rube Mar
guard, at least. that has been my ex-
perience this year. / think that the pace
Maruuard is travelling now is about the
best in the league. AS for the American
League, have never faced Walter john
son. though / have heard a great deal
about him, and the majority of opinions
/ hear expressed seem to agree that ne
is about the best in the business.
Hal Chase consider Walter Johnson
the greatest pitcher in the American
League / think he is all to that organf-
cation that Mathewson used to be to the
National Yes. Johnson Is the true
Mathewson of the American League, and
since Matty has begun to decline l Will
go a step farther and say that Johnson
is the greatest pitcher in either league.

OPINIONS GIVEN AS TO
BEST PITCHER IN GAME
Players and Managers Alike, IN Most In
stances, Hand the Palm to
Walter Johnson.

for it is conceded that Matty isn't what
he used to be-

ter Johnson. but from talks with Ameri-
can League players he must be q wonder,
and IL 1 had seen him would. no doubt.
pick him. AS for the ones l have seen In
our league there are five that IL Is hard
to choose from on their present form,
and they are Marquard. Rucker. O'Toole.
Lavender and Suggs- But II YOU are ask
ing me my opinion Of the greatest pitcher
or pitchers / know of. and they are not
out of IL by any means at present, I
would say Mathewson first and Brown
second: and could any one honestly pass
up those two brilliant performers after
such wonderful careers as they have had.
Mathewson. in my opinion. is the great
est pitcher the game ever knew. and
Brown was his equal or just close be-
hind.
Joe Jackson-walter johnson is the
greatest pitcher in the whole world. Last
year used to swear by Ed Walsh. some
times at him. but this year 1t Is all john
son. He has the greatest speed Of any
man / ever saw, and Is by all odds the
hardest pitcher in the world for me to
face. He has everything a pitcher could
want, and when he is going full speed
and starts burning them over the plate
a batter might as well strike out and be
American League is Walter Johnson. and
I don't believe he has any equal In the
National
Ty Cobb-Ed Walsh always used to be
my particular trouble whenever 1 wanted
to fatten my batting average. Walter
Johnson is another terror in the box, but
Ed Walsh, I believe. when he is going
right. has my goat a trifie more than any
twirler | know of.
George Moriarty--I believe Walter john
son is the greatest pitcher in the Amer
lean League. He has always been a won
derful box man, and this year he seems
to be going stronger than ever. He is A
terrible man to face when he is using
his full speed. There is certainly no
pitcher in the game who is his equal in
that respect Joe Wood is very fast. but
he is rather light. and although his ball
comes speedily, 1t has not the force be-
hind it that Johnson puts into his speed.
When Johnson shoots the ball across the
plate 1t fairly whistles through the air
and strikes heavily with the strength he
puts behind il. l think he is the greatest
pitcher in the game.

and Griffith, besides. does not believe in
breaking up a winning combination.
Until recently Morgan's only fault has
been that he was not meeting the ball
properly, but he seems to have overcome
this weakness and is hitting in good form
again.
John Henry practiced with the team
before the game and showed but little eff
fects of his recent injury. His knee Is
still sore, but in pinch he could go in
any day and catch q game
In Chicago they can't get over the fact
that the Sox once had Gandil and let him
go. II there Is one city In the circuit in
which Gandil always shows to good ad-
vantage. ii. is in Chicago. He hits like a
fiend there and plays perfect game
around the bag.
Gandil called on President Ban John

claim he has against the Chicago club
for salary, and was referred to Owner Co
miskey, whom he hunted up at the ball
park. Chick did not mince words with the
Chicago magnate, and he may take his
case to the national commission
It was in the second inning that the
Nationals began to pound Lange yester-
day. Gandil opened this round with

Highlanders Have Least Success.

The Highlanders have had the least
success in the American League at
capturing long games They have won
only one out Of five. Their longest
set-to was a sixteen inning grapple
with the Washingtons. which they lost
The Browns, the tailenders, have won
only one extra inning conflict and have
lost three. They have played less than
any of the others: probably it is easier
for opposing teams to beat them in the
conventional time.
The Athletics, behind though they
may be in victories. have shown clear
superiority to any other team in either
league in snatching prolonged tits
They have won seven and lost not one
The Red Sox have done pretty we'll in
winning five and losing one. The
Washingtons have won three and lost
three, and the Clevelands have won
three and lost three. The White Sox
have the same record. The Detroits
have been conspicuOusly weak in extra
inning encounters. They have won
only three out OF ten. and eleven in
ming games have been their special
aversion, they having lost four of that
length. The detailed record to date Is
as follows:
New York-Won one of ten; lost two
