Betting Favors Him in the
Match Against Williams
For the Title.

Newport. r. l., Sept. History
repeated itself on the Casino courts
yesterday when Maurice E. McLough-
lin Of San Francisco and p. Norris
Williams III of Philadelphia won their
places in the finals of the allcomers
lawn tennis championship.
The betting last night was to 1
that Mclaughlin would capture the
title today for the third time. The
odds were somewhat shorter on Will
liams' ability to take a set from the
champion. as he did in the finals last
year.
Mclaughlin won his place in the
finals by defeating former Champion
William J. Clothier of Philadelphia,
In straight sets. 6-4. 6-4. 6-3. Will
liams came through with similar
victory over Ella Fottrell of San Fran
cisco Ga, Ga, 6-2
or the two winners. the playing of
Williams was the more impressive.
He handled fearlessly Fottrelrs ter
rife service, the most severe seen on
the Casino courts this year. not ex-
ceptlng that of Mclaughlin. 1t took
him nearly set. however. to fathom
the drives. After that Williams speed
ed up his own service until he OBJ
tanned as many aces AS Fottrell. The
Californian's only attack was his serv-
ice. He was weak at the net. covered
court poorly and lacked seneralship.
Clothier played his usual careful,
deliberate game against McLoughlin
and ran the first set up to four games
to four when Mclaughlin jumped in
and took the next three games in
su succession. The champion had a bad
slump in the second set. driving to
the net repeatedly. Clothier still
playing conservatively. obtained an
ever larger lead before Mclaughlin.
with the set four games to one against
him, rallied and swept through the
next five games with the loss of only
four points.

TO SELL
TEAM TO FARGO

Fargo. N. D., Sept. LIT is likely
that the Fargo-M team in
the Northern league next year will be
owned by home capital.
Mike Cantillon. owner of the fran
chise and team, has made PROPOSE
tion to sell both to local parties and a
movement is already under way look
ing to the organization of a stock
company to swing the deal. Cantillon
wants to get out of minor league ball
and already has an offer from Port
Arthur which city is anxious to get
in the league. The Port Arthur peo-
pie offer to pay Cantillon his price,
$4,000, but he has given the fans of
Fargo and Moorhead an opportunity
to say first whether they want the
franchise. He will wait reasonable
length of time for their answer. With
the franchise will go all the players
under contract to the management
and Cantillon agrees to turn over all
surplus material from the Millers to
the purchaser of the Fargo-Moor-
head franchise.
The team has been practically self
supporting this season and with local
ownership the interest would natur
ally be greater and the gate receipts
larger so that there should be no diff
Guilty in making the team a paying
proposition. Fargo and Moorhead are
looked upon as among the best draw
ing cities in the league and the local
team has been one of the best draw
ing asgregations on the road. 1t is
the plan Of those interesting them
selves in the proposition to retain
Unglaub as manager and give him a
freer rein than he has had this season
in getting together winning team.
The league has no better manager
and as developer of raw material
he has no superior so that at the end
Of a season there should be players
on hand that would command good
prices from the higher leagues and
the revenue from this source should
cut some figure.
President Dickinson did not accom-
pany the team on Its present trip but
remained in the city to do what he
could to put the deal through. 1t is
the tentative plan to raise $4,000 of
which $4,000 would go to Cantillon
for the franchise and players, and the
other $1,000 would be used for Incl
dentals and players to start off the
season as 1t should be.

The Flickertails arrived in the city
this morning from Virginia to begin
their last at-home series. Winona is
the opposing team.
Five games are to be played here.
after which the team leaves for Wi
mona to close the season.
The local games are scheduled for
3 o'clock. Double headers are to be
played tomorrow and the next day,
the first game being scheduled for
o'clock.
Manager Eddie Wheeler declared
this morning that. with proper condi-
tions prevailing, his team ought to
have little difficulty coping the long
end Of both series.
Today's weather is not conducive to
good playing, however. but it Is bet
ter than the brand dished out for the
team while in Canada. During the

was little better. the players say.
Manager Wheeler announced the
release Of Elder. who came to the To-
GALS from jamestown. Elder played
second base for awhile, but, after be-
ing injured, his place was taken by
Manager Wheeler. Freer went in at
third. and consequently Elders serv-
ices were no longer needed.
Peters, Wheeler declares. was
wrongfully accused of kicking a game
away at Virginia. Peters had no
base runner in the back and bounded
off. The ball was thrown in by Freer.
The story that came from Virginia
gave the impression that the hall was
thrown in from the outfield and that
Peters dropped 1t at the plate.
