He declared he would try to wir
the pennant, and he worked hard tt
bring about such results. His popu.
larity with the players has done
much to bring about the now in
evidence. The Tigers have been
well managed and leader of great
value has been discovered
G
Hal Chase played about the worst
game of his career yesterday. He
made five errors, and aided and
abetted by Larry Chapel, the new
beauty. was responsible for the de.
feat of his team.

Joe Jackson, who is Ty Cobb's
real opponent for batting honors,
added to his value as a player yes
terday by stealing home and winning
the game for the Maps over the Red
Sox.

1t is all over now. When the
Giants can beat the Pirates three
straight, it is time to admit that
Pittsburgh is out of the running.
g
Rube Vanguard seems to have be-
come real serious fellow. He is
pitching great ball. Holding the Pr
rates down to two hits is some Won
der, especially in such an important
series. II has always been felt that
Marquard wasn't game, but his work
in the last worlds series and his
pitching this season is living evil
dence that the Rube has all the back
bone necessary.
Steve White, of Princeton fame,
! is playing with New Haven. He be-
longs to the Boston Braves, but is
being seasoned in the college town.

| Play for the famous Davis cup,
victory of which means the cham
pionship of the world, will get under
way on the Wimbledon courts in
England tomorrow, and out of the
matches, which include singles and
doubles, will come honors that are
much sought and highly priced.
With American experts in the chal-
lenge round, our interest is naturally
keen, and with the prospects ever
so bright our enthusiasm, as a mat
have won in the cup matches before
and the honors will be nothing new
for us, but never has there been so
much interest and never has the de-
intense.
The u. S. A. is well represented
in the competition. Players of ster-
ling worth and proven ability will
battle for Uncle Sam. Maurice
Mclaughlin, the lion of the tennis
world, is our best man and he is
| looked upon as an almost positive
winner in the singles. His game is
the talk of the tennis world, yet
with everybody acknowledging his
superiority. "a in the important all
England championships only a few
weeks ago, he was beaten by Wilding
| the New Zealander, in the challenge
round The defeat was the surprise
of the tennis world, and Mclaughlin
and his admirers have not yet re-
covered from the shock. AS team
mates with Mclaughlin, there is r
Norris Williams, who will also take
part in the singles, and Harold Hack
| EFT, who, with Mclaughlin as part
ner, will contest in the doubles. The
| English team is sturdy aggrega-
| ton and the members are experts OF
worldwide ability, yet everywhere
! the Yankees are the favorites and
are selected to win the trophy.
| @
Everything is Mclaughlin and he is
| supposed to win both his matches in
the singles if needs be. Williams too
| is looked upon as likely winner in
the singles, but with Hackett paired
with Mclaughlin the English are
given the call in the doubles. While
the play of Mclaughlin has come in
for praise from every side. the>work OF
Hackett has been severely criticised
The attacks we're so bold that Hack
| EFT took the occasion of a dinner in
London the other night to get back
at his critics. At the dinner in ques.
ton, neither Mclaughlin nor Will
Jams was present, although they were
| to be among the honor guests. Their
absence brought forth surprise and a
few remarks. Just why Mclaughlin
and williams didn't attend the dinner
| is not known, but 1t is claimed thai
too many dinners and too much en-
| tertainment brought about the defeat
| of Mclaughlin in the all England
championship. If that is so. the rea,
son is a good one. Something mus

he couldn't stand the pace, some
thing unusual for him. Mclaughlin

about his defeat in the English cham
