ond and the umpires said they would
consider his protest, there was an
other hullabaloo. But the crowd had
swarmed onto the field and the game
could not be finished that day, and
what do you think Evers did-demand
that the umpires declare the cubs
the winners because the Giants were
unable to keep the field clear. The
umpires didn't do it, of course, but
they could have done it and be right
in their ruling. Evers, by the way,
put up an awful kick, and became in
dignant when the umpires refused to
give the game to the Cubs.

Another question arose during that
famous Merkle play. When it was
discovered that Merkle didn't touch
second the ball in play at the time

the player Evers got the ball-or
"a ball-and claimed the out. Then
Joe McGinnity entered into the pic
ture. He grabbed the ball out Of
Evers's hand and threw it over the
grand-stand, The umpires. however.
didn't see this performance, but in
another instant Evers had another
ball. McGinnity, believing he had
scored a triumph, called on the UNI
pires to produce the ball with which
Evers had made the put out. The
umpire asked Evers to produce,
Johnny was there with the goods and
showed the ball. McGinnity was as
founded. 1t was afterward learned
that Evers had secured the ball from
Pat Moran, the catcher, who was
with the team at that time. AS
everybody knows the Cubs and the
Giants played off that game and the
Cubs won it and later won the
worlds series.
The leading tennis experts of the
Z. S. A. are having a rather strenuous
battle among themselves these days.
Down at Boston yesterday Maurice
Mclaughlin defeated r. Norris Will
Jams. End, and the sensational young
ster. r. Lindley Murray. scored over
Wallace F. Johnson, the Philadel-
phian. As a result of those matches,
Mclaughlin and Murray will come to-
gether in the final round, and this
match will be a beautiful test
for Murray, whose friends seem to
have been disappointed because the
young man was not chosen on the
Davis Cup team. And when Nc
Loughlin and Murray have finished
their match another equally hard
struggle will come in the challenge
round, as William M Johnston, the
present titleholder, will defend his
championship.
The criticism of the committee which
has selected the American representa-
tives for the Davis cup doesn't seem
to he fair The contention is made
that Karl H. Behr should not have
been chosen. Maybe not, but the
committee appears to think that Behr
is just the man for the doubles, and
IL is said that he will be paired with
Mclaughlin when it comes to the
championship Anyway, Mclaughlin
and Behr as a team will be tried out,
and If they play we'll together they
will go into the big matches. If not
then Thomas c. Bundy, McLoughlin's
regular partner, will be sent in.
However, the selection of Behr should
not be condemned until the man has
been found wanting
