Champs and Former Champs

New York. Sept. lit was a bad

play-the East VS.. the West team
matches.

Loughlin and Thomas G. Bundy, ma
tional doubles champions in 1912-13-14,
We're defeated by Karl Howell Behr
and Theodore Roosevelt Pell in what
was proba bly, the best and most excit-
ing match of all those played on the
West Side Tennis Club courts since the
Inauguration of the all-comers' tour
nament.
The East won the series by the
score of four wins to one. On Friday
Teddy Pell scored the East's only win
today the East made what is techni-
cally known as a cleanup, winning
all three contests
Williams was at the top of his game
in his match with Johnston. He exc
cuted his complete repertoire of strokes
with brilliant precision, and this,
coupled with the fact that Johnston
cracked under the strain of having
played too much tennis and against
the best players of the country, ac-
counted for his defeat.

Although a slow game AltroCk had
the crowd in good spirits all afternoon
with his antics on the third base
coaching lines. Some of the stuff he
pulled was passed by the board of
censorship.
Mcbride made the first stellar play
of the day when he grabbed Henry's
bad peg to second base with one hand
in the second inning and tagged out
Graney.
Rice. Mcbride. and Gandil figured in
a fast double play. when Rice grabbed
Roth'S hot one through the box and
pegged Chapman out to Mcbride. who
threw Roth out at first. Things looked
bad for Rice at that time.
Gandil was caught at third on
peculiar play in the third inning. after
getting a single and being sacrificed
10 third. ONeill started to throw back
TO the pitcher. but the ball caught in
his fingers and rolled TO the stands.
Gandil tried 10 make third. but was
caught.
Capt. Mac raced over back of third
in the fourth inning and got VANS
gans' grounder which looked like a
hit and tossed To Gandil who made
wonderful pickup Of the bad throw.
Good play on both Gandils and Nc
Brides part.
Base runners took an awful lead on
Eice and he was very careless when
men were on the paths. Two men stole
on him and Henry had no chance to
get them going to second.

Chicago. Sept. 11.-England's attempt to
carry off the women's national golf
championship was frustrated today when
Mrs. c. H. Nanderbeck. of Philadelphia
defeated Mrs. w. a. Gavin. of Shirley
Park, England, and 2 in the finals al
Onwentsia.
Mrs. Vanderbeck entered the ultimate
round a favorite as result of her con-
sistent play since she led the field in the
qualifying play, and she continued her
steady work today.
Mrs. Gavin played a good long game,
but was off on her approaches and drives
and was unable to sink putt of any dis
tance. Mrs. Nanderbeck after assuming
the lead played safe game and did not
try to win hole when a half was in
sight.
At the end of nine holes Mrs. Wander
beck held an advantage of l up. After
winning both the tenth and eleventh
holes Mrs. VanderbecK rested on her
lead and played good, steady golf on the
last leg of the journey. The last six

Umps Tom Connolly had a hard day

players took a dislike to his calling

as if Tommy was off color.
During the time Boehling was in the
box he walked half the men that faced

Carl Sawyer made a nice play in the
seventh inning when the Indians tried

and pegged Smith out at home plate
1t was a play that required quick
thinking and n good peg.
The crowd had a lot of fun when
Henry got cramp in his leg and was
trying to kick it out. From all the
stands came the shout. Whoa. boy,
Collamore had quite record in the

By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 11.-With the
Agriculture club. champion amateurs
Of the District. had an easy time to-
day, taking the Portners. the title
winners here. into camp in a double
bill. which was the first of the inter-
city games. The Washington club
romped in with the long end of the
counts by to and to o.
Lem Owens did the honors in the
opening game for the Farmers and
came through the battle with but six
safe hits being obtained off his de-
livery. while little Jerry Nopps al
lowed the Brewers the same number
in the nightcap. Sensational fielding
and brilliant pitching at critical mo-
ments paved the way for the Farmers
two-ply victory.
Jumping into the lead in the first
inning of the opening game when a
trio Of tallies chased across the count
ing block. the Aggies kept the Port
ner outfit on the lower end of the
scores throughout the games and
never were in danger of being over
taken.
The teamwork of the Capital City
team played a big part in the three
counters scored in the opening frame.
Pee was issued free transportation
and moved to second when Napier
took a long wind-up. Limerick ad-
vanced him to the far corner with
sacrifice and Pee dented the pan when
Shugrue hit a long fly to Moran.
Napier was a little unsteady and is
sued a pass to Mccarthy who imme-
diately stole second. Cusack hit to
right field, scoring Mccarthy and
while AL Burch was messing up Car
rolls grounder the big third sacker
counted.
The Aggies kept piling up the
counters in the next session and push
ed two runs across. while three more
were added in the fifth on four clean
bingles. a stolen base and one miscue.
The Richmond champions made bid to
overtake the Agges in their half of the
opening inning when Bransford hit clean
iy, and moved up while Bailey was re-
firing F. Burch. Al Burch then hit one
at Owens. which low-bridged the lanky
hurler. The ball hit Owens in the head
and bounded to right field.

turned to the mound and resumed the
duties. The score:

that the Chicagoan was doing come

greatest fighters in the world, and for
the reason that Mike should have done

an even proposition. 1t was in many
ways big disappointment.
Cry of "Fake" Heard.
AS long as it is remembered by the
sporting world. there will undoubtedly
be many who will claim that it was "one
of those things" as matches made with
a previous understanding as to the re-
suit, are called by sporting men, but
there is no way Of proving it.
The charge has been openly made by
a recognized authority for weeks past
that the men would not try tonight. and
there has even been rumor around
to the effect that Mcfarland had made
Gibbons put up a cash deposit with a
mutual friend in Chicago to guarantee
against a Knockout. but here again is
something that cannot be substantiated.
There are always rumors of this kind
going around before a big match and
perhaps the only result that would have
prevented criticism of the affair tonight
would have been a Knockout by Gibbons.
Certainly a Knockout by Mcfarland
would have been viewed askance, and IL
may be that the men We're trying des-
perately. but if so their best efforts will
receive many a knock for many day to
come.
Mcfarland got s17,5oo for this match
Gibbons received $1,000. They got the
cash in advance. No phase of a cham
pionship was involved. Mcfarland was
supposed lightweight when he was at
his best. while Gibbons rates as a mid

few critics ever saw a justification for
