FIELDER JONES SLATED
OHEAD ST. LOUIS FEDS
Will Take Charge Of Team Next
Friday, superseding Nor
decai Brown.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. August 17.-Fielder
Jones', former manager Of the Chicago
White Sox. when they were known as
tho hitless wonders. will take charge OF
tho st. Louis Federal team. 1t was an
nounced last night. Mordecai Brown
former Cub pitcher. will be supplanted
by the man who led the White Sox to
a worlds championship over the Cubs in
1908.
Browns laxness and lack Of control
over his men. which led to their break
ing training rules after getting a great
start in the Federal race. led to the
change.
Recently the Federals have been play
ing winning ball and the management
hopes to begin drawing at the gate
again. OF late only q hundred or &c
paid admissions have been received a
day.
Jones two days ago visited the secre-
tary Of the st. Louis club and conferred
with President Gilmore and St. Louis
and Brooklyn club of1cfaIs. He had an
nounced he was out Of the active part
Of base ball for good. but the terms Of
fered him were SO advantageous Jones
said he felt he could not refuse. II have
been wanting to get back in the game
again. anyhow he said. There's a
fascination about it."
Jones will take charge Friday. Brown
two months ago was told his team should
be higher in the race and il it did NOT
squirt at once he would be relieved. The
squirt came too late.
Roger Bresnahan of the Cubs was ap-
preached. but at that time the Cubs
seemed about to go into the lead in the
National League and Roger refused

affiiction Of the nerves Of the deltoid

For the last two weeks Rucker has
been undergoing a heroic baking proc

McLoughlin's Defeat Of Both Wild.
ing and Brookes Is Bright
Feature.

NEW YORK. August 17.-Although the
Davis international lawn tennis trophy
has been carried OF, considerable of the
sting has been taken out Of America s
defeat by the wonderful achievement of
Maurice e. Mclaughlin in vanquishing
each Of the great Australian pair, Nor.
man E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding.
Wildins had held the all-England cham
pionship for three years and Brookes
took 1t away from him this year. AS the
tournament winner at Wimbledon is gen.
orally regarded as the worlds title holder,
the crown passes without dispute to the
marvellous Californian.
The triumph Of the young man from
the west will not benefit him alone, either,
a 1t really takes the worlds champion
ship tournament from Wimbledon and
transplants 1t to Newport When play
commences at the famous Casino courts
q week from today Mclaughlin will
therefore. be defending a universal rather
than a national crown.
The outlook for the recovery Of the CUP
is bright. and 1t seems probable that It
will not remain away from home for
more than a year. 1t is an established
fact that there are no two men in the
world outside Of Brookes and Wilding
who could have taken the bowl away,
and 1t is doubeful If they will ever play
international tennis again.
Brookes No Youngster.
Brookes is no longer a youngster,
and in his various matches in this
country this year has proved that he
cannot stand the strain of a long,
hard battle. Even now he is con-
templating dropping tennis and turning
to Rol- Wildinp ia not az old as
Brookes, and although he had not lost
a set outside of those that Mclaughlin
took from him during the international
matches. 1t was very evident that he
had retrograded a great deal from the
form which kept him at the head Of
the worlds tennis players for the last
four years.
1t does not seem likely that they will
defend the cup. The trophy must be
defended in Australasia. and 1t is
doubtful II either Of these men will
business in England for about FIVE
years. Brookes left the antipodes last
fall, and it is said that he probably
will make his home in England. too.
This would put the. defense of the
cup up s, to a team team of practically in
