The defaults were caused by the heavy
rainstorm. which lasted throughout the

discussion as to the advisability of adopt
ing rule permitting of a postponement

In the Individual fixtures three Boston
women declined to brave the elements.

Mrs. f. c. Wheeler. jr., and Miss c. l..
Duncan. On the Metropolitan side Miss
Lillian e. Hyde, the champion. and Miss
Marion Hollins. former title holder. were
the cautious ones.
Miss Holiins and Miss Hyde had planned
to cross the sound from their Long Is
land homes In motor boat, expecting
to be at Greenwich at 10 o'clock. as
arranged However the storm was toe
rough and they had to abandon the idea,
| coming over in an automobile by way OF
| the Rye ferry. This delayed them until
after noon, and their defaults were the
result Thus before the play began the
Metropolitan team had Won three matches
and lost two.
! 1t was only the defaults On the part OF
two Boston pairs in the fouTsomes that

the day, for only one New York duo was

Fans Stay Away.

The base ball public is not going to
spend its money to see a team like the
-.aps play. This was shown by the hand
ful of fans that greeted the team Mon
day.
Those who entered the park were sorry
they had ventured out when they saw
the small crowd.
The Maps are staging their athletic
stunts in the wrong arena. They should
drive their cars to the motor speedway
at Indianapolis, race them around the
big track to their hearts content, and

Indifferent Work Began When
Craze" for Motoring
Hit Players.

CLEVELAND, June 5.-Whats the mat
er with the Maps?
The question is on the lips of every
Clevelander who has not ceased to take
an interest in the American League club
There is one answer-too much auto
mobiling
Did you ever walk through the tunnel
underneath the main stand at Somers
Park?
If you did you probably noticed nearly
a dozen motor cars parked near the en-
trance for wagons and automobiles
These cars belong to Nap players
They drive to the park in them, drive
home in them and spend much of their
spare time touring the city streets and
country roads in them.
When the automobile fever infected the
Maps the club began to lose its effective
ness. This was late last season. A cou-
pie of the players had cars at the time.
The craze spread and the team began to
go back.
"Birmy,' Larry, Doc Johnston, Joe
Jackson, Vean Gregg, Bill Steen, Fred
Carisch and Fred Blanding are the Nap
motor enthusiasts. Others spend much of
their time riding in the cars of their
fellow Maps.

Jackson's Bad Day.

Joe Jackson, whose batting eye has
grown dim with the advance of the sea-
son for automobilins, was a minus guam
tity at bat with men on bases. He judged
fly balls poorly or not at all. and when
he managed to get his hands on them
dropped them.
The whole team ice-wagoned its way
from base to base when somebody helped
along with hit. but when it came to do
ing lightning stunts on the bases like
those performed by the Browns. there
was nobody at home.
The Maps have had this roast coming
for long time. Everybody has been pa
tient with the team, needing the plea Of
hard luck that for time sounded SO
plausible
But that time is post. Ray Chapman
is the only Nap cripple. and he is doing
all he can from the coacher's box to put
ginger and life into the other players.
Evening star., 1914-06-05
Team Goes Back.

The signs Of deterioration which fol-
lowed the introduction Of the motor car
into the Nap camp last season opened the
eyes of knowing Nap fans. To them the
complete collapse of the team which last
season was a pennant contender was not
unexpected.
Motoring is hard on the eyes 1t is a
strain on the nerves. Ball players need
clear eyes and steady nerves. These are
their. most valuable assets.
The Maps seem to have neither eyes nor
nerves. They can't bat, they can't run
bases and they can't field.
They played like children against the
st. Louis Browns Monday. They didn't t
play base ball. No, they didn't even put
on exhibition anything that would have
passed for that ancient and honorable
game of FOUNDERS which little boys play
on vacant lots
