By n. C. BYRD.

1t seems to be the consensus Of opin-
ION mat Zachary of the American Sc
curity and Trust nine is the most capa-
Die catcher in the amateur ranks to-
day. That estimation of the youngster's 5
ability has been made many times dur
ing the season. and he has unhesitat-
lngiy been placed head and shoulders
above all the other backstops in the
city by nearly all who have been in a
position to watch him work.
There is not the least doubt that
Zachary deserves every good thing that
has been said about him during the en-
tire year. He is an exceptionally heady
catcher, and besides that qualifica-
tion-which is the greatest of all-he
can field his position and hit better
than the average. There are very few
amateur ball players who really think.
but Zachary stands out among that
class. He is thinking all the time. He
divines plans and purposes almost be-
fore he is told, and has the ability to
put them into execution. And as for
disposition and demeanor on the bali
field Zachary stands out in class by
himself. That youngster is worthy or

sand-dolar infield in practice yesterday.
His throwing showed that he still has a
few kinks to iron out of his right
shoulder.
Manager Mack will not admit that he
believes in signs, but all are aware that
the Athletics broke their losing streak
at Detroit when Oldring played his first
game at short. The pacemakers have
won every game since the blonde out
fielder has been covering the territory
between second and third.
Even though Johnny Lavan, the former
st. Louis shortfielder, has been ready to
fill Barry's position, Mack has not sent
him into the breach Of battle. AS long
as the team continues to win with Old
ring at short Lavan will have to be con-
tent with warming the bench.
1t is probable that Jack Coombs will
get his first chance to start game since
the middle Of April, when he was taken
sick, when the team plays in ST. Louis.
Coombs Is anxious to get back in the
harness, but it is not likely that the
iron man. will go the full nine innings.
Jack has been working out every day
with the team and says he feels strong
enough to pitch. However. he is inclined
to tire out after pitching only short
time in practice. Coombs is just as anx-
ious as the fans to see what he can do
in game.

DEFEND BRITISH GOLFERS.

with Messrs. Vardon and Ray to come
to Philadelphia last Saturday, and they
proved themselves good sportsmen by
accepting my invitation, despite the fact
that they were practically just off the
steamship.
We all know that Vardon and Ray
are professional golfers. They served
their amateur apprenticeship They are
not in the game for their health or the
exercise it affords. My suggested price
for their exhibition was accepted with
out any bickering-and. by the way, it
is no secret. We paid them $50 each.
and 1T was one Of the best investments
the club ever made. The match attracted
record crowd of members and guests.
and those who followed the play over
the links received lesson In driving.
approaching and putting that could not
be purchased with money,
1t would be only fair to vardon and
Ray to state that many clubs have
sought their services. and Il they are
paid greater price than we were
charged it is because OF the eaeerneas
of one or more clubs to ace them per-
form.

The letter was in answer to a query sent
by Manager Heckert week ago. explain
ing the circumstances of the case. but
containing no names.
The York club was inclined to allow
Washington to exercise the option II
claimed on Shaw's services until several
offers, one of $4,000 from Cleveland and
another of $3.50 from Detroit, were made
for him.
The letter received from Hermann is as
follows:
George W. Heckert, manager of York

BENEFITS BY EXPERIENCE

NEWPORT, r. L.. August 23-Showing
a mastery of tennis technique such as he
has not heretofore exhibited on the Ca
sino courts, Maurice E. Mclaughlin de-
feated William j. Clothier here yester-
day in straight sets at Ga, 10 O..
This victory of the present champion in
tournament Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association eliminated one
of McLoughlin's most formidable oppo-
nents and virtually assures him a place
in the final and championship round next
Tuesday.
The Mclaughlin of today showed the
influence and benefit of his play on for
eign courts. There was missing the dash
and snap which marked his tennis when
he first swept out of the west, the court
sensation of the decade. In its place.
however, there was the poise, calmness
and mastery Of racquet and stroke dis
tinctive of a champion who has gained
his laurels only after years of hard play.
Before the attack of Clothier ne was
calm and tnvincfble, always ready with
smash or pass when opportunity present
ed itself. The game Clothier uncovered
would have defeated almost any other
player in the present contest.
MCfOuS hin QclodI OIL ClOLnlcF was
far more decisive and impressive than
that of last year. when he required four
sets in which to eliminate the former
Harvard athlete, yet it was the con-
sensus of opinion among the tennis ex.
perts that Clothier's game was fully
Is per cent stronger than in 1912. Or
the same basis of reckoning McLough-
lin was rated third stronger than
twelve months ago. All told, McLough-
lin earned fifty-seven points te
Ciothier's forty-one. while his unearneG
points totaled siXty-nine to Clothier's
siXty-seyen.
While the Mclaughlin ClOthier match
was on, six other players were battling
for the right to enter the closing
rounds. Nat Niles earned a place in the
semi finals by defeating Leonard Beck
man in straight sets. r. Norris VII
liams. ID won from B. c. Law In a
similar manner In the lower half J. r
Strachan eliminated E. H. Whitney. The
young Californian has been allotted the
