CASE INEVITABLE
 BUT IS BEATEN

New Orleans, August 14.-The league leaders divided double header today with Montgomery, winning the first game 2 to 0, while the visitors took the second, to l. Case allowed no hits in the first game, but his masterly effort went for i, nothing, as New Orleans won out through getting the "breaks.' Hendryx was given a base on balls in the fourth in- ming, took second when Starr sacrificed, went to third on a passed ball and scored on an infied out In the sixth inning Walker was safe when Gribbens fum- bled, went to second when Hendryx walked, and scored when Starrs fielders choice to Case was thrown to Gribbens, who muffed. Walker was batted for five hits, but good support prevented the visi- tors from scoring. The last previous game in the Southern association, where the winning club secured no hits. was in 19I3 when Montgomery defeated Chattanooga, to o. The one run resulted from Cova- leskie hitting Elwert with the ball, throwing badly to first and Elwert ad- vancing to third to score later on sac rifice fly. In the second game today Montgomery punched hits on Kissinger in the sixth inning and won. Day was in fine form.

leans. We were strongly against the transfer" Manager Lord stated yester- day. Tt will give New Orleans an un- due advantage for the Pels are much better at home than on foreign fields. Atlanta now wants to transfer its se- ries in Montgomery to Atlanta. can't Understand how the other clubs were willing to let New Orleans get away with it.
 sIt would not be at all surprising to me . see a scandal raised over the transfer should New Orleans take three games. Bobby Gilks, the manager of Montgomery, sent several of the New Orleans players up from the bushes and naturally should be partial to them. Gilks worked for Cleveland last year and may need a job again in 1915.'
 Manager Molesworth, too was against the transfer of the games. His consent for such action was requested in Montgomery and the Baron leader turned down the appeal. Molesworth acted well within his rights in doing so, for New Orleans has great ad- vantage over Birmingham and Mobile in being allowed to contest the game scheduled abroad on home grounds while they are denied the right. How ever it is proverbially declared and truly that a ball player will not lay down. Such action would kill his stand ing in baseball.

 off two other unerring bases and

 balls. Schmidt singled sharply to
 right field and advanced Calhoun to
 third Miller sashed a vicious line drive
 at McDonald's feet, but several feet to
 the left of him. Eddie dove at the ball,
 trapped it successfully, but floundered
 upon his back. The Baron third saclSer,
 reposing on his back in the dust. whipped
 back his arm and begged to Tragesser.
 The return was accurate and Tragesser
 tagged Calhoun out. but the two collided
 and toppled over in a heap upon the
 ground. Despite the success of the preyi-
 ous thrilling maneuver, the hearts of the
 crowds jumped into their throats as
 Dobard was issued a pass filling the
 bases It seemed as though the battle would result in a fiasco as Omar Hard grove distributed three successive balls to Gudger.
 With his grit at test, Hardgrove proved equal to the requirement.. Two successive strikes were issued as the faint hearted turned their heads to avcid seeing Bir- mingham humhled. Hardy whipped a third successive strike over the plate but Gudger fouled 1t off to the stand. When a fourth followed, Gudger hoisted to Stew art and relieved the high tension by re- tiring the side
 Birmingham jumped upon Gudger in the first inning and gained a handicap which was later .surmounted by two Gull runners. Marcan walked. McDon- aid crossed the Mobile wiseacres by singling past third instead of sacrifice ing. Carroll grounded to Calhoun, who saw an opportunity to force McDon- aid at second. He begged swiftly to Dobard. but struck the Baron third sacker a hard blow on the back of the head. The ball was deflected toward right field and enabled Marcan to score. But LII stopped abruptly at the plate
 as he saw Mcdonald crumpled in an unconscious mass at second base. Aft CT several minutes work the third sacker was resuscitated and gamely as sumed his position at second amid the plaudits of his admirers. However, Mc- Bride hit into double play and the rally subsided
 Due to Carrolls misjudgment, Schmidt was credited with a home run in the second session and tied the score. Schmidt drove line hit to center field. Carroll started in towards second to bag 1t but saw that he had mis- judged it's flight. Retracing his steps as rapidly as possible did not remedy the fault. for his high leap Into the air failed to land the drive. Before he could retrieve and forward it to the plate, Schmidt had finished his journey
 with the tieing tally.

 paved the way for Mobile lead. Schmidt despite his bulky form. dropped a bunt in front of the plate and beat it out Miller, in attempting to bunt, popped up to Tragesser. but Dobard, one of the weakest hitting regulars of the Mobile club. singled sharply to left and Calhoun counted the second run.

Forest Hills, l.. l.. August ii.-In a doubles match that ran from sensational to mediocre tennis. Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding, Australasia, de- feated Maurice F. Mclaughlin and Thom- as Bundy, United States, in straight sets s-s. s-6. e-7 here today. putting the Australasian team in the lead for the Davis cup. two matches to one.
 The final contests for the trophy will be played tomorrow and to retain posses sion of the bowl and the worlds cham pionship. Mclaughlin must defeat Wild
 ing and R. Norris Williams, second de- feat Brookes in singles. feat tennis experts here predict most unlikely.
 The Australasians' victory was without flaw Their team work was that of mas ter racquet wielders who thoroughly un. derstood each others play. both at nei and on the deep court. Although ths United States champions carried the chal. lengers into deuce sets twice they never ~ould lift their game to a plane where Brookes and wilding were unable to check
 their rallies. The older and more experi- enced pair always had something in re- serve.
 Bundy Center of Attack Recognizing Bundy as the weaker player of the American pair. the chalengers di- rected their hardest voleys at him. Al though he handled the rain of shots In a manner beyond general expectations he was unable to hold the veterans across the net Mclaughlin played desperately, covering long stretches of net and court,
 but the effort told and when the Aus tralasians turned their batteries of | smashes and out shots on him late in the match his game broke badly.

LOOKOUT YOUNGSTERS
 ARE BIG LEAGUE TIMBER

of 1916. Gabby expects both of tho lads to take on at least 20 pounds during the coming winter months, which. with the experience they have gained this season. will leave them ready to take upon regular South- ern league heaving burden next spring.
 Ross and Lille have both been hit rather heavily upon several occasions since joining the Lookouts but have shown steady improvement. Street con- siders them already as promising as karr, whom Mique Finn has just sold to the Detroit Tigers for $500.
 Perhaps the greatest failing of Lils and Ross and one that they have al- ready practically overcome was their failure to hold the runners close to tho bags. As result Street and Graham upon their first few appearances found themselves unable to kill the oppos-
 ing base stealers with a rifle. Both lads have a good throw to the sacks but they failed to watch them closely enough. Personal attention from Streer has worked wonders. however.
