RAIN HALTS TENNIS.
Niles and Gardner Give Battle to
Williams and Washburn.

BOSTON, Mass, July 30.-Just when
hundreds of tennis enthusiasts were
| sitting back yesterday afternoon intent
on watching the feature doubles match
| of the day n heavy shower came up
which forced an abandonment or the
sport for the day. At the time H. NOR
ris Williams and Watson 81. Washburn

Niles and G.. p. Gardner, jr.. as their
opponents They had already won
set and in the second set the games
were one all with the third game at

| Hackett and T. X. Pell, and in another
G. Colket Gamer and H. II. Bundy OF
Philadelphia had won Il set from Porter
and Collester of Boston. Irving Wright
and Wallace johnson of Philadelphia
, were awaiting the championship court
to begin play with the cincinnati
| pair, Holden and Emerson
| The feature match resulted in nne
exhibition Of tennis by Washburn, who
| had been generally considered the
weaker member of the combination:
He bore the brunt OF the attack ana
! was tower of strength to his side,
| for his placements in the set played
| totaled three more than the combined
placements of the other three.

ten errors and Williams had seventeen
to his credit, or discredit, whichever 1t
may be- AT the time the match ended

to williams with the attack. Williams
was brilliant but cratic, and Gardner
! evinced tendency to return shots to

could hardly have scored from first on
anything but triple.
Sam Rice, the Petersburg pitcher. re-
ported to Manager Griffith during yes
terdays game, but did not don uni
form. He will report at the park this
| morning, however. and probably face
the Nationals in batting practice. Rice
is a good sized young fellow.
BY the victory yesterday. and De
troit's win over the Yankees. the Ma
tionals have frightened their hold on
fourth place, now having two and one
half game lead over the Yankees. The
Griffmen have but to keep on hustling
during the rest of the season to assure
themselves of first division berth. They
may even land a bit higher than they
are now, for the chances are that when
either the Tigers or White Sox rea-
liZe that their chances for the flag have
ended they will be very apt to tumble
down in the race.
Doc Ayers probably will face the
Browns today. The Hickey team has
been showing improved form of late.
and the Grinmen will have to put forth
their best efforts to win majority Of
the games from them.
An effort to pull the squeeze play in
the ninth came near to costing the Ma
tionals the game. With Foster on

but the ball was pitched so wide of
! the plate that Chick could not reach it
and Foster was caught between bases
and run down. The play. of course.
looked foolish because it failed, but
had it worked and the game been won
thereby there would have been praise
instead of criticism for the system en-
ployed.
Jim Shaw's lame shoulder had not
improved yesterday. and it seems likely
! that he will require a long rest before
his pitching arm will be in such shape
that he can work. The inability of
Shaw to take his regular turn on the
| mound is unfortunate at this time. for
| the Nationals need all the pitching
strength they can get.
1t seems that the original price
asked for Kopp by the st. Thomas club
was SO absurd that Griffith turned
down the negotiations for the young
outf1elder. but he received word last
night that the club was willing to ac-
cept much reduced price and he at

COMPTON WAS FREE AGENT.
Was Automatically Released From
Contract. Saws Hermann

CINCINNATI, July 3O.-Holding that
player is justified in jumping his
contract if the club to whom he be-
longs is in arrears in salary to him,
Chairman August Hermann of the
national base ball commission yester-
day issued the following statement
relative to the Compton case:
IF the Kansas City club was in
arrears to Compton. the player auto
matically became a tree agent and
had the absolute right to go to the
Federal League or to any league tina t
would engage him. If we do not live
up to our obligations we have no right
to demand that the players live up to
their contracts.
Il do not think the national COM
mission will even inquire into the
agreement that is said to have been
fixed up whereby Compton returned
to his original team; under the cir
cumstances we couldn't. a player who
jumps his contract when he receives
his salary regularly is in a different
class from the man who has been left
unpaid despite the contractual obi
CATION of his club to remunerate him..

BY ]. ED GRILLo.

There are some reasons for believing
that kopp, the young outfielder pur-
chased Yesterday from the ST. Thomas
club of the Canadian League. is a very
promising ball player.
kopps record of last season is a good
one and he is reported to be playing at
d much faster clip this summer. Kopp
was in 1O5 games last season. hit for
.293 and stole forty bases. besides hit
ting for many doubles and triples.
AS fielder he ranks well up and seems
to have a particularly strong throwing
arm, for he is credited with IS assists,
which is a great many for an outhelder.
Doc Reisiing, who recommended kopp
to Manager Griffith, is confident he VIII
make good in this company. He says
he is the most promising young player
he has seen in years and that he has
world of speed.
kopp is expected to report here at
once and in due time he may break into
the Nationals lineup.
1t requires more than single game
to prove a players worth, but the shift
of Howard Shanks to third base promises
to be ten strike. In yesterdays game
Shanks gave Il perfect exhibition al thlro
base He handled every one of his seven
chances in manner which showed mn,
to be a clever fielder and thrower. and
two attempts by Walker to beat out
hunts down the third base line were
frustrated by quick work by Shanks and
absolutely accurate throws.
Shanks work was so finished in the
position that there is little doubt OF
his being a success there.
Incidentally, Acosta, who played lelt
made good impression He did no!
have chance in the field. but he hit
safely twice. and stole second very
cIeverly. The present combination
looks real good, and undoubtedly Will
be continued Indefinitely.
Cd to the time that Johnson hit that
ball in the tenth he had faced Walker
three times, and on each occasion had
struck out. In this inning, however,
he hit the first ball pitched, and 1t
was some drive. 1t scored Mcbride
from first base easily. and Walter. too
could have scored had it been neces-
sary, but he had to be satisfied with a
three-base hit. 1t took just such a
