Capture Intercollegiate Cham
piOnship for Second Time.

Philadelphia, Sept. 18.-R. Norris
Williams, I'd, and Richard II. Harte, jr.,
Of Harvard, won the intercollegiate
lawn tennis doubles championship for
the second successive year to-day by
defeating their team metes, c. c. Gamer
and L. II. Curtis, three sets 20 one, IN

nual tournament on the courts Of the
Merton Cricket Club, at Haverford.
The score was 10, 81, 6-3, 90.
Showers fell shortly before the
match started and slowed up the courts
trife. Williams and Harte lost the
first set but the title holders came
back in wonderful fashion, beginning
with the first game of the second set,
and dazzled the challengers with their
speed and the accuracy OF their
placing.
Williams let himself loose, as he
rarely does in doubles. and drew fire.
quent bursts of applause from the
crowd by the skilful fashion in which
he outguossed Gamer and Curtis and
shot the ball between them for place
ment aces. Harte was brilliant but
erratic, some Of his gets bordering on
the miraculous, while at other times
he missed the easiest kinds of shots.
Williams and Harte had an easy time
in the final set Harte had had an un-
usually bad attack Of wildness in the
second and sixth games, which Curtis
and Gamer won, otherwise they were
helpless before the dashing attack and
stone wall defence of the champions.

Big Crowd Sees Thrilling
Battle Between Contend
erS for Pennant.
BOSTON MANAGER
HITS TELLING BLOW
Carrigan Forces Man at Second,
but His Drive Scores the
Winning Run.

Boston, Sept. lS-The Red Sox to-
day strengthened their chances 20 capt
ure the American League pennant by
defeating the Detroit Tigers IN a sem
sational game Of twelve innings. AL
though a contest in which only one run
resulted. the game was replete with
situations that called out the best tao
tics, offensive and defensive. OF both
teams, and included some remarkable
fielding.
With ts setting in a crowd of 1888
persons, who fringed the field OF play,
the game was considered one OF the
most memorable ever played.
In their effort 20 pull down the lead
ing Red Sox, the Tigers carried a pow
erful offensive almost around the
bases. But time after time its threats
were thwarted by phenomenal defence.
During the early part of the game the
play was for the most part in the inner
field, but later the balls were sent
speeding to the standing crowds. max
ing IL necessary for Speaker on one oc-
casi0n 20 shoulder his way through the
throng to catch Cobb's hard hit ball.
Hooper was almost on the toes Of the
crowd in the next inning, the tenth,
when he pulled down Crawford's drive.
Two double plays, brilliantly exc
cuted. were features Of the game. One,
by the members Of the Detroit infeld,
removed an advantage gained by Bos-
ton when Barry doubled into the crowd.
Another came shortly after Detroit had
placed a man on every base without an
out.
Cobb was on this occasion put out on
force play at the plate. Then Young
hit to Gamer. and while Detroit base
runners houndered about, literally in
each others way. Veach was caught at
home and Crawford at third. For a
time the Boston iielders had been at a
loss, apparently, to know what 70 do
with the ball. but word from Captain
Barry brought Gardner to third base
TO force out Crawford, who had been
caught between second and third with
the first two bases occupied.
BY hits and an intended pass Boston
also filled the bases in the twelfth, and
Carrigan, the Red Sox manager, taking
the pinch hitters burden upon himself,
raped 20 Bush. With one already out,
the little shortstop tried TO start an
other killing double play, but Young
failed him when he dropped the ball.
and Lewis raced home with the long
/ sought run.
The pitching by Shore and by Cove
leske was of finished order, and both
appeared 10 improve as the contest
! heightened.

only half a length.
Just after the finish the stirrups
dropped off the saddle and Mr.. Devereux
in trying to pull up lost his seat and
pitched off on his back, where he lay
stunned for a minute or two. He was
not seriously injured, but had a mar
row escape. 1t seems that he was using
a hunting saddle, with the stirrup
feathers so arranged that they will
come loose in case of fall. AS it
happened yesterday they came loose
without fall, and no doubt it cost
