Nottingham. England July 1o.-The
American players won their first two
matches today against Germany in the
semi-flnal round OF the preliminary con-
tests for the selection of a team to chal-
lenge England for the Dwight F. Davis
International lawn tennis trophy, and
stand more than a good chance of quail
flying for the final round
r. Norris Williams of Philadelphia and
Harvard university, after a little trouble
in the beginning of his match with Oscar
Kreutser and the loss of the third set,
pulled out a winner In what after all was
not difficult contest. The German put
little fire into the game. but made some
pretty backhand strokes Williams on the
other hand relied on volleys and long
drives, which at first, were not strong
or we'll placed, but later improved mar
velously. The German won his set by
keeping the American in the back court
where there was no chance of volleying
The more exciting match was that be-
tween Maurice e. Mclaughlin of San
Francisco. the American champion, and
Otto Frotzheim, who is rated as the best
player In Germany. The contest for a
time seemed to be all the Germans
F'roitzhelm played brilliant tennis all
though he was suffering from a sore
hand. Mclaughlin did not show his
form until the later stages.
In the beginning the German was able
to get many backhand strokes over with
great speed and also picked up the Amer
leans service coolly. Mclaughlin showed
a streak of brilliancy In the second set.
but not until the middle of the third set
did his turn in the game come From
then on he went ahead and with his

New Acquisition is Youthful Sptba Pitcher-Wil Supplant
Ray Boyd on Hurting Staff-Youngster Will Join

Twirler Frank Gregory. youthful
rlghthander, was purchased yesterday
morning from the Ottumwa club in the
Central association by Manager Moles-
worth. sensational spitball HEAVIER in
the Central, the chubby Baron leader
hopes that he will bolster up the Baron
twirling staff. Satisfied that Boyd will
not find form for several days, Manager
Molesworth will replace the former star
with the youngster.
Gregory is towering moundsman
weighing 1S5 pounds, the new acquisition
stands five feet IL inches. He is a young
pitcher. as he debuted in professional
ranks last season with the Ottumwa club
SO far this season, Gregory has won 10
games and has lost but four. Last year
Gregory finished a successful season and
was secured by the Cincinnati Reds and
worked in few games However he was
considered to be lacking in experience and
was returned for seasoning.

The match between Schwengers and

Kreutzer won the first two of his games

game on his service. but the German cap
tured the fourth after Deuce had been
called thrice. The American finally took
the set In the tenth after hard playing.
Williams clever placing and service won
for him the hcst, second and fourth games
of the second set. The ffth game was

ed with several she1els to Lara the young
ster. He has stated that he is willing to
play for the Barons and will heport here
either Saturday or Sunday from the Cen
trail association.
While the passing of Boyd. as a Baron,
will be deeply be regretted by the local
fans, with whom he is a favorite, Man
aser Mclesworth could not afford TO con-
tinue with the impaired hurting corps.
The genial spitba1l HEAVIER has been given
as fair a trial as he might desire and
his failure has broken up hopes among
the Barons. Although Boyd has never
been started by the manager, it was
deemed unwise to risk a game with ths
club at the 500 mark. However,
Ray has been sent in as relief pitcher
in two games and was scored upon in
each game.
Should Gregory prove a winner, Bir-
mingham will be in excellent condition
for trial at the rag. Prough is twirling
the most marvellous bah i'll his career with
string of 10 victories and four defeats.
Hardgrove is following closely, while Bill
F'oxen is well above the 500 mark. While
Evans has done little on his last appear

game that when once leading team Is
overtakec it slowly falters and cracks.
For weeks the Philadelphia club led
the sprint in the National and was
voted a favorite. But the Giants
slowly approached the Daisies and fin
ally surmounted their lead. Then the
Phillies semed to lose confidence,
and have dropped steadily since that
time. Members of the Barons de-
clare that a team loses its confidence
after being overtaken. They point to
Cincinnati last season and the Brook
lyns this year.
Ever sirfce Walter johnson came into
prominence as pitcher, the baseball
world has wondered what it was that
generated his terrific steam. But the
mighty Walter recently measured the
length of his arms from finger tip 10
finger tip and it was found that the
measurement was 50 inches.
Wee Willie Prough stands as rival
to the mighty Walter. for the big right
handler believes that he mas reach of
at least so inches. Bob Fitzsimmons,
the fighter who is believed to have
the longest reach in pugilism, falls five
or six inches short of Johnson's mark.
Amos Rusie, claimed to have been the
speediest pitcher in baseball, was
short armed moundsman
Although "Lil'' Marcan appeared on
the coaching lines yesterday, he pre-
sented crippled battle front. The rap
on the back of his left hand developed
into a very sore place Wednesday
night and as the result he did not
ventureinto the game 1t is improbable
that he will appear this afternoon
against the Turtles.
Far more seriously injured Is Walter
Mayer, who is crippled on two digits of
his throwing hand. The peppery re-
ceiver will be unable to receive Wee
Willie" Prough this afternoon, and will
hardly be able to catch before Mon
day The thumb of the right hand is
badly swollen, while the middle finger
is still Bruised and sore.
Having turned George Mullln over
to the Montreal club of the Interna-
tional League club, Clark Griffith
says he is through purchasing play
ers from other big league clubs Last
year he went out and brought Pitch
ers Vaughn from New York and Petty
from ST. Louis Neither veteran did
Washington any good, both finding
their way back into the majors. This
season Griffith tried again, getting
George Mullin for $500. From now ON
Griffith will devote more attention to
the development of youngsters John
son, Groom and Boehling will be
worked in order, with Gallia, Engel
