GREAT TENNIS
 GIVES AMERICA
 AN EVEN BREAK

Before the largest gathering that has yet witnessed a lawn tennis com- petition in any part of the world, the representatives of America and Aus tralasia divided the honors in the opening of the challenge round for the Davis cup, at the West Side Tennis club, Forest Hills. T.. L. yesterday af- ternoon.
 Banked high around the emerald arena were 15,00e enthusiasts who were treated to two spectacular singles matches that compared with international tennis since the trophy emblennatic of the worlds supremacy was put up for competition in 1900 America got off to a. bad start, Rich ards Norris Williams, 2d, being de- feated in the first battle by Anthony F. Wilding in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2, 6--3. However, Maurice E. McLough- lin put the Yankee team back into the running by scoring over Norman E. Brookes, Iz-15, 6-S. 6-3.
 The even division yesterday puts major importance on the doubles o'clock. It was officia1ly announced after the matches that Mclaughlin would team with Thomas C. Bundy against Wdlding and Broo1zes- The Australasian pair enter 5 to 3 favor ties, and should they win it will be
  dLoughHn and Williams in the final singles tomorrow.
 dns view of the fact that Wilding, recognized at this time to be not quite the equal of Brookes, disposed of Will Hams in so easy a manner, it is a moot question whether Williams will be able to battle successfully against Brookes tomorrow. After his perform ance yesterday, AdoLough1fn is expect ed to experience little difficulty in de- Heating Wilding.
 Standing out beyond the other nu- merous features Of the day was the record first set between Mclaughlin and Brookes. which went 32 games, lasting one hour and 21 minutes, be- fore the Californian could claim the victory. Mclaughlin might have end- ed the set earlier. At least, that was the impression he created among close followers of the game, but 1t was for his best interests to prolong the set as long as possible in order to wear down his opponent, who has not been in the best of condition t11is summer

With their emergency lineup in the field, the Bridgeport Bolts glanced in whitening scorn at the New Iondon Planters yesterday and- then proceed- ed to give the league leaders unelr usual beating by to 1. Manager Jake Boultes has been chased from the scene so often that a reversible lineup is necessary. When he was shipped to the woods in the fourth session the reserves instantly swung into action Pep Senno moved from left. garden to third and Lefty Ger vais picked ID Senno's sun glasses and went to left
 Gene A1cCann, who had chuck led IT hendish gIee when Boultes was eject ed s had to sit on the bench chewing large portions Of fine cut, and Watcn the Planters absorb a lot or punlsn- ment Pep Senno did it with his little hatchet. In the seventh inning with the bases crowded and nobody gone, Senno smashed a. grounder through the infield, which was playing close, The ball eIuded Left Fielder Br1ggs and rolled to the fence, Senno follow ing three others home by fine sprint ing.
 That cooked New London's goose and although Greenwell pitched fine ball outside of that inning his one lapse was fatal Dick Tuckeyl had the Planters rolling over and playing dead, as he always does lie gave AYe hits and did not pass a man. Except in the sixth and eighth the league leaders were helpless.
 Outside of Senno's powerful poke, the hitting Of Bowman and Hallman loomed up. Bowman had a triple and single and HaIlman contributed two 9 singles. Excellent fielding was shown by Stow and Senno- The latter took care of Ia couple Of grounders like a regular infielder when he went to third.

 President O.Rourke denied the story in a morning paper that he ordered Umpire Keenan yesterday to allow Manager Bou1tes to remain in the game after the Bolts leader had been elected. The league executive who was a spectator at the game. said the umpire was too nasty in putting Boultes out. Jake was very quiet and very brief in his objections to a de- cision and the president thought it . mistake to put him out.

During that time he has had three minor operations per formed upon him by pr. Murphy a. Chicago specialist in surgery
 He is the picture of health al- though several times since he has been in Chicago it was reported that he was near death.
 Owner Cameron yesterday stated that he plans to hold the New Haven baseball club unless someone comes across and offers him a gold mine for it, r as he expressed himself, and he 1aughingly continued by say4nss that he didn't think anyone would do that He stated that he will put a first class team in the field next year. and also. remarked, surprising as it may seem, that his team has made money Tor him in New Haven.

 Each won his series until the tally stood 15-an Then came the break in Brookes's game The strain of the long struggle told on him and he lost his service on the thirty first game. Mclaughlin then won his service and the set, although he had quite a scare, in the final game, which went to feude. McLoughlin's winning ace was scored on service, d smash that landed. on the inside corner and brought cloud of chalk dust into the air.
