Next week our entire Audi
forum will be turned over TO the
Newark Camera Club for its an

ton will, in all probability, be the
most extensive thing of its kind
ever attempted in Newark. The

some very LARGE ones as well.
The Newark Camera Club,

'LOUCHLIN
 BEATS MURRAY
 THREE STRAIGHT

Four thousand lawn tennis eptTlusi- asts sweltered in the hot sun around the star court on the grounds of the Crescent Athletic Club, at Bay Ridge, yesterday afternoon, all for. a chance to sec the invincib1e Maurice B. Nc Loughlin defeat Robert Lindley Mur- ray, fellow Californian, for the New York State championship.
 Mclaughlin had compassion on the melting throng and he settled the is- sue with dispatch. disp osing of Mur- ray in straight sets that consumed just an hour, to the minute. There was no dilly-dallytng by the California. Comet. Whenever he developed a pro- pensity toward care1essness one look around the solid mass of humanity, mopping foreheads, was enough to make Mae put on 3 little extra steam. The scores were 6-1. 6-3, 6-4 To have won the championship of the great Empire State any easier would have been little short of sacriiege.

SAM CRAWFORD, VETERAN
 OUTFIELDER, 34 TO-DAY

American League players who have stuck in the game for more than a de- cade are not quite so infrequent as mo1ars in the jaw of a hen, but at the same time they are pretty much to the rara avis, and getting no less so fast Among. the ancient and honorable vet erans who still look good for a. num- Der of annums more as Ban Johnson's slaves is Samuel Crawford the valiant |outf1elder of the Detroit Tigers. Sam will celebrate his. thirty-fourth birth day today, having been born at Wa hoo, Nebraska, on August 20, 1880. The
 midget outer gardener-he is only six feet and half an inch in a1titude-is still able to paste the pill at will over the 300 mark and at various times
 has made a noise like leading the league. Wahoo's most eminent native son made his triun1pha1 entry iuto pro- fessional baseball away back in the last century, playing with Chatham. Ont. in the Canadian League. His batting average for the season was .370 and in '99 Columbus grabbed him for it's Western League club. He fin ished the season with Grand Rapids
 swatting .334 and in 1900 he broke into the National League with the Reds. He batted we'll over 300 during his Cin- cinnati pilgrimage. After the close of the 1902 season he jumped the Ma tional League and signed on with the Tigers, and has been hitting them out well over 300 most of the time since then. His fat year was 1911, when he rolled up an average of .378. In 1908
 he led the league in home runs, in 1910 and 1913 he led in three-base hits, and
 in 1909 he achieved the greatest mum
 Der of doubles. Tn fielding he has led the American League right fielders four years-19o3, 1905, 1911 and 1912. In 1907. when he played center garden. he was the star of the circuit in that position. Sam has also covered first base for the Tigers on occasion, and
 did very nicely, although his work lacked the. ec1at of his eutf1eld per formances. He has helped the Tigers toIcop three pennants MT. Crawford lis said to receive a salary in the [neighborhood of 5000 bones per am
 mum. He is a member Of the Baseball Players Fraternity, and one of the directors Of that war1ike and militant organization.

LEVINsKY WINS SECOND
 BOUT IN TWO DAYS

Battling Levinsky scored his second victory in as many days when he de- feated Bart1ey Madden a light heavy weight from Jersey City, in what was scheduled as the star bout at the Stadium Athletic club, New York, last night. The exhibition was very poor from the spectators viewpoint, for Ievinsky refused absolutely to lead against the Jerseyman, and the latter also declined to take the aggressive.
 The real feature bout was that be- tween Frankie Burns, a bantam weight ,and Kid Taylor, a practically unknown boy from Brooklyn, who was substituted for K. o. Eggers. To the surprise of almost every one Taylor gave, Burns hard battle, and 1t was only, by a small margin that the New Jersey bantam carried off the honors

BRooKEs AND LARNED
 WIN TENNIS DOUBLES

southanpton, L. l., Aug. 2O.-Inter- national tennis competition featured the tournament at Meadow club courts yesterday when a, brilliant gallery of society people witnessed an interest- ing match in the second round of the doubles when Norman B. Brookes, captain Of the Australian Dayis Cup team, and William A. Larned, the for mer national champion, defeated Count Otto SalYn of Austria and Georges Aranyi Of France two straight sets, z-5, 6-2.
 It was the International aspect of the encounter, rather than the play ing of the contestants that attracted the attention Of the spectators. as out side of Brookes the play was only or dinary Brookes would find it g. difH- cult matter to put up a. poor match, and while he was not required to ex- tend himself he never forgot he was on the tennis court. He brought off a number of clever shots and, although the heat was excessive. he was in no way distressed.
 Larned was Of little assistance to the Austra1asian. who carried the bur- den of the pair. The American was guilty of many faulty shots and show ed a disposition to drive the ball into the net.
