Mc- Louehlin and Thomas c. Bundy ln straight sets. 6-3, s-6, 9-7, here this afternoon, putting the Australaslan team in the lead for the Davis cup, two matches to one. The nnal cons tests for the trophy will be played to- n4orrow, and to retain possession oI the massive silver bowl and the world ctampionship Mclaughlin must defeat Nilding and R. Norris Williams, "a, defeat Brookess in singles. feat Wnlcn tenris experts consider most unlikely: The Australasian victory was well earned and without flaw. the team work of the Antipodeans being that of master racquet wielders who thorough ly understood each others play and tactlcs both at net and in deep court. Although the United States champions carried the challengerS into deuce sets twice, they never could life their game l to the plane where BrookeS and W1lc- I ing were unable to check their rallies at crucial moments. The older and more experienced pair always had something in reserve, and their cloca- | like team work disconcerted even Mo Loughlin in closing set.

LUCK IN BASEBALL
 COUNTS A WHOLE LOT.
It Seems to be That When Chapman of Maps Broke His Les-And All the Teams Have Suffered, Too.

Did you ever stop to think what a 1lsnre luck cuts in baseball says Jere White. Luck entirely apart from play Ing the luck having the team ready and then having 1t broken up by cripples, or made by the unexpected develop ment of some youngster. The Ameri- can league race this season is a won derful example of what the fortunes of war do. In the spring the Maps might well have been figured to land to the top of the second division. But Chap man broke leg. There was no re- cru1t ready. to fit in at his place. The accident to Chapman at that time was terrific blow to the team. It des- troyed what team spirit and hope ex- isted and it practically doomed the Maps to the tailend h onors
 Boston was the next victim. Boston of course, figured second in the league in actual playing strength But Wagner was cripple from rheumatism with out chance in hundred of playing 1 ball before midSeaSon, and naturally down came Boston in the estimation | as a pennant possibility. Lo and be- hold! up bobs Scott, who. with Rehg was an association star and fills in | Wagner's place so acceptably that the great Wasner's loss amounts to only | about 10 per cent On top of that
 Boston grabs a real first baseman-
 and there it is. bit stronger on paper l right now than it figured at it's best ir
 the spring and in spite of iH-lucl, suct as destroyed Cleveland.
 Injuries and illness have affected the | chances of every team in the league but the Athletics, as usual, have the
 best of it. Their chief loss this yea
 was the services of Barry for few 1 weeks. Washington had two body | blows The injury to Milan, its chic
 run-g -getter and leader in attack, cam just when it hurt most. The other blov
 was Johnson's weakening from over : work. The White Sox suffered tw l wallops from fate; and the worst wa
