M'Loughlin Favored To Retain Tennis
 .LaureIs Al Newport

Newport, R. T., Aug. 1S-This the summer capital of the 400" is all ex- cited today because of the annual ten his championship which starts on the Casino course today. The excitement is due to the coming of the stars wfl o are expected this evening. There are 148 entrants for the title of national champion.
 Blase NewpoFters waxed warmly over Maurice B. Mclaughlin, idol of the American tennis court. They ln- stalled him an even money favorite against the field The entry of Larn- ed, the known strength of Williams, the vaunted speed of Johnston, the proof of C1othiers return to form never feazed the Newporters The un- certainty of the game is forgotten in the rush of idolatry for the youthful California. boy who fought so success fully for the Davis cup.
 The doubles championship struggle between Bundy and Mclaughlin, the title holders, and Stachan and Grif- fin, also California boys, will be play ed Wednesday morning and there is much speculation on the outcome of the match.
 The entry of William A. Larned, seven-time champion is rather pecu- liar. It is conceded that Learned cannot stand the strain of a long championship series, and think his entry is entirely a complimentary one.

JACK DILLON LIKELY
 TO MEET CARPENTER
(BY D. s. Andrewsl

It is very probable that Jacko Dill lon. the Indianapolis middle weight, will be the next American to clash with the French champion, Georges Carpenter, the coming fall, negotia- ttons now being on for match be- tween the two to take place in Paris some time in October. The talk about Carpenter being matched with Al PaIzer and Jack Johnson seems to be somewhat of a joke Descamp, the be up to American methods of man aging boxers, but he is just wise enough to know that Carpenter is too light for such big fellows as John son and 'PaIzer, for he has just signed up to have his champion meet Bonn Hhardier Wells in a return match be- fore the National Sporting club in London, December 6, for a guarantee of $15,000, which is some cloin for a 20-round bout between these men.
 Wells seems to be back in good graces of some of the British sports, for they are backing him against the Frenchman for a second meeting, but the odds would favor Carpenter again. He has defeated the English man once and he knows his weak point, and the indications are that he will repeat, although there is always a chance for a slip Should Dillon meet Carpenter before. the Wells match. there might be need of chang ing the program, for the Indianapolis boy is very liable to upset the dope by beating the Fsrenchman.
 Dillon has come along at a rapid pace the last year and there are no middle weights in the world today who have any license to win over him in a limited round bout, except by outpofnting him. If the French champion should make anywhere near 160 pounds for Jack he will know that he has a fight on his hands and he will have the lighter man to face at that. Jack Johnson tried to get on with Carpentier, but the French Boxing federation frowned upon the proposition; in fact, the federation has been handing the co1ored man any thing but the cordial reception he imagined he would receive once he landed on French soil.

NEW WORLD'S RECORD
 FOR IS POUND HAMMER

A new worlds record in the hammer throw and 9, new American mark for the three-mi1e run were made yester- day at Celtic Park, New York. Pat rick Ryan of the IriSh-Am erican A. c. threw the 1e-pound hammer 189 it. 6 1-2 in., or fit. 2 1-2 in. further than Matthew J. McGrath hurled the weight when he made his record effort at Gel tic Park on Oct. 29, 1911.
 Thrills pierced deepest when Flames KoIehmainen of the Irish-American A. C., the wonderful Finnish runner and Olympic hero, reeled off three miles in 14m. 22 2-5c.
 The old American outdoor record of 147n BPS was made by George V. Bon hag of the Irish-America A. c. at Travers' Island on June 3, 1911. Bon hag ran faster indoors at Buffalo on Jan. 29, 1910, when he showed three miles in 14rn. 29 2-5s., but the 1.-the limbed Finn surpassed that and was only five seconds away from Alfred Shrubb's tfme-honored worlds record for amateurs or professionals of finn.

AINSMHH TELLS HOW
 JOHNSON FOOLED UMPIRE
Exporting News. )

Eddie Adnsmith, who always catch es Walter Johnson, told an amusing story of how Walter fooled at least one of the American League umpires last year.
 Said Ainsrnfth: The uTnp was new to the league and had never worked behind Walter before. We were play ing one of the Western clubs, and be- fore the game started the umpire came to me and asked me what Wal ter pitched and if he worked the corners of the plate to any extent
 'T replied. Yes, Johnson works the corners a whole lot. You see, his fast ball has such a jump to it that when I catch it outside the plate it looks like ball, but in reality it is a strike
 That day. continued Ainsnith, Walter was a trif1e wild, and pitched a dozen or more balls a foot or so outside the plate about waist high. The umpire, to my surprise, called them all strikes. and then I remem~ bered what I had told him.
 fIt would have made little differ ence, however. for our club scored seven or eight runs and the other fel- lows never had a chance.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Bea1s Becker of the Phillies will work all the harder now that Josh Devore is on his trail.
 Maybe the Boston Braves could not use slugger like Becker in their once. but allowed him to slip to the Giants
 "Dixie'' Boehling has lost his fourth straight game in the American league Maybe he is going to see if he can lose II and equal his record of consecutive wins.
 Harry Coveleskie, who played the role of the .tGiant Killer so success fully several years ago. although he filled the part in a, very brief engage ment, will join the Great Show again, this time as one of Hughey Jen- nings' Tigers Even John McGraw may wish him well, so long as he is with his friend Jennings and not back with the Phillies.
 That the western clubs of the Am erican league in their tour of the east ust closed should have split even in games won and lost and that the east should have done the same in the West, is an odd coincidence. The Cleveland club in the American league and New York and Philadelphia in and National alone made exceptional trips. Cleveland won II and lost 6. The Giants won 10 and lost 6, while i the PhiIIies won Il and lost 4.
 A change of base seems to have done wonders for Ed Reu1bach- His last two games have been of a kind to make Charles Webb Murphy and sJ ohnny Evers do a "heap1' of think ing.
 In all probability the Philadelphia club will be reorganied, but it seems quite likely that William Baker, for merly police commissioner of New York, and Willie Lockes cousin, will eventually become president. Baker and Locke tried to buy control of the Boston club from the late William Hepburn Russell.
 Give Clarke Griffith credit fol pulling a big advertising stunt in offering $10O.0O0 for Cobb; but De troit Owner Navin's answer is to the point, though somewhat tart Grand Island, in the Nebraska state league, has a battery named Dark and Brown. In the same league Columbia has 9. pitched named Canine and he is said to be a doggone good finger. Connie Mack of Philadelphia re- gently received a letter from a prison CT in the Eastern penitentiary asking him to supply the Convicts' baseball league with old baseba1Is. He |thanked the manager of the Athletics for 8 previous supply, and in conclusion said: eff I should come across a find in here I will tip you off. But I am afraid that most of the stars in this league are tied down to contracts calling for five, ten and IS years Worst of it is they can't be drafted '

margin on the investment. On this basis they have succeeded in interest ing a number of men in the various cities of the state, the meeting being the result.
 Joe Jackson declares that the Maps made a. great mistake in letting Roger Peckinpaugh, the former White Wing, go to the Chancemen. Jackson says Roger is the best short field man in the American league and he ought to know. He certainly does fill a big gap, in the New Y ork infie1d. Peck is but 23 years of age and in the opinion of Chance will be a star man by next season.
