M'Loughlin and Bundy
Win Title in Tennis
Doubles at Newport

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 22.-The ma
tional lawn tennis championship in
doubles was transferred from the East
to the far West for the first time, when
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, of San Fran
cisco, and Thomas c. Bundy, of Los
Angeles, Wrested the title from Ray
mond d, Little and Gustav F. Touch
ard, of New York, last years winners,
in a four-set match on the Casino
courts. The scores of the match, which
was played before an eager crowd of
more than 1000, were SO, g., 81, 10.
The challengers were easily the mas
tiers of the situation, although Bundy
was bothered somewhat in the first set
by the fusillade of shots which Little
and Touchard aimed at his side of the
court in the belief that he might not
have fully recovered from his recent
illness. But the little Californian
seemed to grow stronger as the match
went on, and by the middle of the sec
ond set he was scoring almost as many
places as Mclaughlin.
OF the sixteen matches played in the
singles tournament yesterday, fifteen in
the fourth round and one in the third

~ BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. %.
n 1t was happy lot Of Crack
ers who pulled out of here
for Montgomery. Not because they
set any worlds ablaze, but the fact
that they toppled the leading Ba-
rons in the getaway contest of the
series brought smiles to their long
doWncast faces. No, we are not
telling an untruth when we declare
the Atlantans beat Molesworth's
tribe yesterday; and the count was
to 3.
To Lyons should go the credit of
winning the game and to Bailey for
saving it. In the eighth inning,
with digger perched on the third
hassock and two down, Carroll took
a vicious swing and met one of
BraGy's straight balls. A line drive
in the center field grove resulted,
but Bailey made a wonderful catch
of the ball and kept the tail-enders
in the lead.
Lyons, whose hitting has been
noticeable on account of it's alb
sence, hit through first and second
with Callahan on third base. At
the time of the swat the score was
tied.
ELAN had a big day in the field,
accepting nine chances without an
error and cutting off several run
ners at first by wonderful and ac-
Curate pegs.
Callahan, who possesses a lean
average of .245, fattened up yester-
day. securing three singles to right
field. The Crackers stole bases at
win during the early innings, while
the Barons COPIED five off the
mighty arm of Ham Reynolds.
