NILES DEFEATS BEEKMAN

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 23.-
Maurice e. Mclaughlin defeated Will
lam j. Clothier, of Philadelphia, here
Yesterday in the sixth round of the
thirty-thir annual titular competi-
ton of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association. The present champion
eliminated Clothier in straight sets.
Mclaughlin showed the influence
and benefit of his play on foreign
courts There was missing from his
work that dash and snap which
marked his tennis when he first
swept out of the West. the court SEN
sation of the decade.
Clothier was in splendid condition
and opened his play with an attack
to the Californians backhand The
champion quickly demonstrated that
Clothier was unequal to the task of
uneoYering the alleged weakness of
Mclaughlin in handling low back
hand returns.
When Mclaughlin put on full
speed. Clothier found his rifle shot
service hard to handle. Unless the
returns were speedy and we'll placed
the champion drove them back for
points in a manner that left his oppo-
nent standing still. He earned 81
points to Clothier's Al, while his un4s
earned points totaled So to Clothiers
81. i1
MeLoughlin's defeat of Clothier
was far more decisive and impressive
than that of last year, yet 1t was the
| consensus of opinion among experts
that Clothier's game was fully 10 per
cent. stronger than in 1912.

TEX erwin MAY
WEAR TIGER TOGS
Former Brooklyn Catcher Like
ly TO Take Lew Nc
Carty'S Place.
CURTIS DUE ON TUESDAY

MONTREAL, Que, Aug. 23.-"Tex"
Erwin, the former Rochester and
Brooklyn catcher now with the To-
ronto Club, will probably be sent to
the Tigers in exchange for Lew Nc
Carly, the cub catcher who is to be
taken by the Brooklyn Club with
Raleigh Aitchison Monday. Manager
Harry Smith expects Cliff Curtis to
report to him at Rochester Tuesday
Mary Kavanagh will also be recalled.
The International League salary
limit of $4,000 a month and the player
limit for the season of 1913 will eX-
pire Monday, and the Newark Club
can pick up as many youngsters for
trials as Manager Smith cares to
handle. Curtis, the new Tiger pitcher,
cannot report to the Bengals until
Aitchison leaves, as the Tigers pay
roll would exceed the $1,000 mark If
he We're to join the club before
Aitchison and McCarty go.
Erwin will come to the Newark
Club. If the deal goes through to as
sist Bob Higgins in the catching.
1t rained hard here yesterday and
the Tigers did not venture out of
doors. Financially the Newark Club
did not suffer, because the Montreal
Club had to pay a rain guarantee of
5000. In the event that rain prevents
the game scheduled for today the
Tigers will be unable to play their
full string of twenty-five contests
with the Royals unless they play a
triple header tomorrow, and that
would be out of the question. Raleigh
Aitchison will probably pitch his last
game for Newark today or tomorrow,
and he will be out to make a record
showing. Aitchison has wanted to
hook up with Al Mattern in battle all
season. Mattern was regarded as the
best left-hander in the league until
Aitchison reported this year and
wrested away his laurels. A game
with these two left-handers on the
mound ought to prove interesting,
not for the batters, but for the spec
tators
Tex Erwin was only recently turned
over to Toronto by the Brooklyn
Club. Erwin was always a top-notch
catcher until he broke his wrist last
year. He was unable to hold pace
with Otto Miller. the sensational
young catcher of the Brooklyn team,
and was turned back to the minors
only q short time ago. Erwin was
always a good hitter and a heady
backStop.

Kavanagh was always a good

he fought grounders, but he appar-
entity has overcome that failing. He
has had two seasons in the minor
leagues now and his experience should
have ripened him for faster company.

Business in the International
League was at a standstill yester-
day when the four games scheduled
to be played in the northern end o:
the circuit were postponed on ac-
Scount of rain. AS the eastern teams
are paying their final visit double
headers will have to be played to-
day in at least three of the towns.
Newark and Montreal will probably
play off their postponement tomor-
row at Montreal with a scheduled
game in addition to make it bar
gain bill.
Newark's next stopping point will
be Rochester and then the Tigers
will go to Buffalo. Newark's lead
of eleven games grows bigger every
day, as the season has less than a
month to run and every day the
Hustlers fail to gain on the Tigers
adds another little boost to the Ben
gals claim, even though it does not
show in the eleven game lead.
