Special Dispatch to The Star.
I PHILADELPHIA, August 13.-Either
Walter Johnson or Doc Ayers will be
used in the opening game of the series
with the Athletics today. Just which
OF the two twirlers he will use Griffith
will not decide until a few minutes be-
fore the game starts.
Mack is expected to use either Plank
or Bender. 1t will be the first appear
ance of the Champions on the home
grounds in nearly a month. and one of
the largest crowds in their history is
expected
In view of the fact that the Cham
pions have lost but two games during
the past month or more it is hardly to
be expected that the Nationals will cut
much of a figure during their stay
here. and yet Griffith believes that his
team will give the Mackmen their first
setback.
Griffith figures on using Doc Ayers in
the second game tomorrow. while there
has been no decision as to which one or
| the twirlers will be sent into the final
game Saturday, it is more than likely
that Jim Shaw will try his hand against
| the Champions
| On but few occasions during the past
| few seasons have the Nationals been
| able to gain victories over the Athletics
/ There has not been a single time when
the locals have won a majority of the
/ games from the Mackmen in series:
! and unless there is marked reversal
| of form it is not likely to happen IN
! the games which start today. The Ath-
| letics have had materially easier sail
| ing in the present campaign that ever
before. notwithstanding the fact that
/ they have been accused of being weak
| in the pitching department
/ Macks team seems to have outclassed
| its rivals from the outset. and while il
may not be assured that 1t has the pen
| nant cinched, nothing but the unexpected
can possibly beat it out.
Johnny Blair probably will be farmed
out to some minor league club to give
him chance to develop. The youngster

AUsTRALAsIANs FAvORITEs.
Play in Davis Cup Tennis Begins To
day on Long Island.

NEW YORK, August 13.-The opening
matches in the challenge round of the
thirteenth contest for the Davis tennis
cup emblematic of the worlds team
championship. started at the courts of
the West Side Club, Forest Hills, L. l.,
this afternoon.
Speculation on the outcome of the
matches indicates that the challenging
team is favored to win the cup donated
by Dwight Davis of st. Louis in 1900 as
an international challenge trophy.
Mclaughlin is the chief hope Of the
American team, but Williams is not un-
likely to prove the key that turns to
victory or defeat. Tennis experts agree
that Mclaughlin and Williams between
them must win three of the four singles
matches, since BrookeS and Wilding are
top-heavy favorites for the doubles.
Uncertainty prevails at the eleventh
hour in United States tennis circles as
to the makeup of the American dou-
bles team. 1t is understood that Nc
Loughlin favors the playing of Bundy,
who with himself hold the national
doubles title. Many tennis officials. how
ever. prefer Mclaughlin and Behr, be-
lieving that the latter would prove q
stronger partner for Mclaughlin than
Bundy, who has not shown the form
this year that has marked his playing
in previous seasons.

BEGIN Three Game Series With Athletics oday-Other
Wagner and Johnson
Meet for First Time

PHILADELPHIA. August 1a-
That sudden shower before the
game yesterday eliminated the
fourth and final game Of the ser
les between Phils and Pirates.
but old Jupc Pluvfus' Interrupt
ton did not prevent two Of the
games greatest stars from meet
ing for the first time. Long be-
fore the game time Walter
johnson, along with many Of the
Nationals, who battle against the
Mnckmen here today. Mt Shibe
Park. arrived at 18th and Hunt
ingdOn streets to look the two
National League teams over. To
johnson the occasion was one he
had been waiting for since be-
coming n star. The Speed King
had never met Honus Wagner,
Pittsburgh club, and as soon as
he entered the gates he hurried
to the Pirates bench. introduced
himself to the modest HOnus
and then began a tanning bee
which mnny a fan would have
given his all to have listened to.
The stars deIved into reminis-
cenccs of the ball field. and the
acting manager Of the Corsairs
almost forgot to tell his charges
to tnke the field for practice, SO
interested was he in the confab
with johnson. The latter was
deeply disappointed that he did
not get a chance to see Wagner
in action. for he had never seen
the burly German play q cham
pdOnshdp game. and had been
waiting for this opportunity for
weeks.

GOLFING HINTS.
By "sTRAIGHT DRIVE.

DON'T PRESS.-I was recently
brought into close proximity to
the best example of the truth Of
the old advice, Don't press"
Playing with young Tom Ander-
son. the professional of the Mont
clair Golf Club. he had the first
nine holes in 33-three strokes
under par.
He then sought to make the in
holes in "a or better to beat the
record of the green established by
Jerome D. Travers and equaled
by himself. The par for the in
holes is a stroke easier than the out
holes. but Anderson took 3s in
his effort to get one stroke better
than the 35 par.
He was driving a terrific ball
from the tees, but in his effort to
tear the cover off the ball he was
continually getting just enough
hook on the ball to get it into
difficulties which made it impos-
sible for him to get the coveted
record. If he had been contented
to have played well within his
power and not pressed l think he
would have chipped off that odd
stroke by saving putt on one of
the holes.

Catcher Rondeau of the Minneapolis

Rondeau is given credit for being the
best catcher in the association, where he
also is hitting well. A couple of seasons
ago Rondeau was member of the De-
troit team. but was sent to Minneapolis
for experience. He is said to have devel-
oped into first-class man.

Braves BATTLE LINE
INTACT IN BIG SERIES
Evers Will Be at Second Base in
Opening Battle With Giants
Today.

NEW YORK, August 13.-George Stall
ings took advantage of yesterdays rain
in Boston to lead his sensational Braves
to this city early last evening. Johnny
Evers, the wonderful second baseman
has rejoined the club SO that the Big
Chief will be able to put his full strength
against the champion Giants in the open
ing game of the important series which
begins at the Polo Grounds this after
noon. Three games only will be played
and no double-header.
Strange as it may seem. Stallings is
not the least bit worried over the outcome
Of the three games here. II do not figure
this the important test for my club" said
the leader of the Braves at the Somerset
Hotel last night. The next western trip
will decide our pennant chances. We
might lose all three games to the Giants
and still be as dangerous as we are now.

termined than the Braves. My boys do

Stallings believes that every one Of the
first division clubs has an excellent
chance for the pennant, and that the
fight will be close right to the very last.
Il have maintained steadfastiy that
the Cardinals were one of the best clubs
in the National League" said Stall
lings. Their record Is proving it.
Huggins will be a hard fellow to head

Here's an anomaly: Christy Mathew
son has the best percentage of wins
among National League pitchers, yet
more hits have been made off him than
any other pitcher. The latter fact is
accounted for partly by the large num-

his record of eighteen wins and four
defeats it would appear that hits off
of him don't mean much.
