By II. c. BYRD.

Four games were played in the anna
teur leagues yesterday, the most i'm
portant being that in which the Ma
rines gained the right to the cham
pionship of the Government circuit by
defeating Bureau. Reformation won
a shut-out contest in the East Wash
ington Sunday School organization;
Trinity went down before the st. Pc
ter's club in the Holy Name League,
and General Office took the measure of
Station in the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ.
c. A. circuit.
The victory of the Marines in the
Government League was practically q
double affair and they are deserving Of
especial commentator for the splendid
hight in both the series in which they
took part. Out of the seven games
played six were won. The one defeat
charged against the Marines was
one-sided affair, in which they went to
pieces and were defeated by II to ;.
barracks team yesterday, doing effec-
tive work at all times and holding his
club in front once it got lead.
The wild base running OF the Marines
aided them considerably in their VIC
tory. Strait, who has been doing most
of the catching for Bureau, was unable
to play yesterday because of an injury,
and there was no other receiver capa-
BILE of preventing the wholesale steal
ing of sacks. Walbridge and Williams
stole three times each. Parker and
Quackenbush twice each and Strain
and Fitzgerald had one apiece. Twelve
stolen bases is enough to win for a
team almost without any other help.
Nobody will envy the Marines their
victory. They have proved themselves
worthy of the honor won, and will have
many we'll wishers in their battles
against Agriculture and Machinists,
which are most likely to prove their
hardest tests in the post-season series
for the city title.
Newman pitched great ball for Ref
ormation against Fifth, winning for
his team by to 0. Newman got good
support and did effective hurting
eyerS minute he was on the mound.
Hamel of Fifth was just about as good
as Newman, though his team failed to
get the breaks at any time. Six scat
tered safeties were registered against
the delivery of Newman, while only
three were made off Hamel.
St. Peters sprang something of sur
mise in the Holy Name circuit by TAX
ing the measure OF Trinity. which has
been rated the strongest organization

Trinity team failed to keep st. Peters
from scoring in the last two innings

Manager williams of the Bureau team,
defeat ted by the Marines yesterday. en-
tends his heartiest congratulations to
the sea soldiers because OF their VIC
tory Says he:
II fought as hard as I could TO win
the Government League champlonsmp'
but now that the best club In the or
ganization has the title ! am glad to
extend my hand to its management and
the players and congratulate them on
their. victory They yoo are hall 1 psysrs
good sports and deserve every bit of
the credit they are getting. l wish the
Marines good luck in the post-seaso
series and as heartily hope they will
win the city championship as If my
own club were the one that had won."
The defeat of the Trinity team yes
terday by St. Peters causes a tie in the
Holy Name League between Trinity and
Aloysius. These two clubs are to meet
! to-day on the diamond at North Capitol
and Bryant streets in the struggle
which may decide the championship, as
it probably will give one or the other
of the clubs lead. Trinity used Its
best pitcher, Gannt, yesterday against
St Peters, and it is difficult to foretell
who will toe the slab for it today
Aloysius has three men to select from
Larry Nops, Jack Nolan and Bob
OLone big crowd is expected, as
both teams have large followings, and
it undoubtedly is the most important
contest played in the circuit this
season.
The three mile swimming race sched-

in the Braves sensational climb in the
National League race last season. will
be Of no assistance to the team in its
fight to regain the leadership during
the next month. President Ganney an
nounced last night that James had
been suspended at his own request in
order that he might go to his home in
Seattle, Wash, and rest his pitching
arm. Experts who have examined the
arm say that only by a complete rest
can 1t be brought back to form. Presi-

Mclaughlin Not Confident.

Mclaughlin faces a hard task today,
and he realizes that the test with Will
liams will call for his very best tennis.
The Californian has not been showing
his accustomed form in competition on
the grass courts and westerners are
by no means confident he will win from
the Quaker City player.
AS Mclaughlin has two legs on the
present Longwood bowl and needs an
other to obtain permanent possession
of the trophy. a victory for Williams
will prove very disappointing reverse
hopes of winning the cup outright.

however, he played great golf. and
with seventy-one obtained the best
score of the day for eighteen holes.
Campbell was one stroke better than
Mcnamara in the morning, but in the
afternoon the Bostonian just beat him
by one stroke.
E. w. Loos. the young Pocono Manor

J. j. McDermott made his reappear-

OLD R|VALSAT TENNIS
WILL BATTLE FOR CUP
Williams and Mclaughlin in Chal.
lenge Round of Longwood
Tourney Today.

BOSTON, August with a display
of tennis form that was brilliant as
we'll as spectacular, Richard Norris
Williams, I'd. of Philadelphia, defeated
Nathaniel W. Niles of Boston in the
final round of the Longwood Cricket
Club annual all-comers' singles yester-
day afternoon in three straight sets.
losing only two games, by the score
6-1, 60, 81.
BY his victory over Niles, the Har-
ward University captain earned the
right to play Maurice E. Mclaughlin.
the present holder of the Longwood
bowl, in the challenge round today, on
the Longwood courts. The former ma
tional champion is now at Boston, and
as Williams wrested the national title
from him at Newport last year, this
clash will hold the interest of the ten
mis- enthusiasts all over the country.
If Mclaughlin succeeds in trouncing
Williams, he will have to play his best
tennis, for the star Philadelphia dis
played wonderful form on the courts
and showed that he was playing his
usual brilliant tennis. The result OF
the clash between Williams and Niles
was by no means a surprise unless IL
was the fact that Niles obtained only
two games in the three sets played.
Williams at his Best.
Williams was at his best on the
courts yesterday. for he scored many
aces on his service, was accurate in his
places and smashed the ball hard at
every opportunity. He seemed to be in
vincible to the Bostonian, who was
completely outplayed. Williams form
was the cause of considerable favorable
comment, for his sharp, quick returns
to either side of the court near the
chalk lines were amazingly true to the
mark
A large gallery saw the stars compete
and though the match was short the
spectators we're well rewarded for
their visit to Brookline. Williams ran
through the first set with the loss of
only one game. He was playing COM
paratively easy game. In the second
set he let loose some of his reserve
speed and he did not allow Niles sin
gle game. In the third set he again
showed his superiority and slashed his
| way to a 6-1 win, making it three
straight, with the excellent record Of
only two games lost. A victory over
Mclaughlin today would materially in
crease his chances of being rated No.
in the official ranking.

 EXPEDITION

The following is q copy of a tele- Times from pr. Rudolph NJ. Anderson which was received by Mir. Ralph of the explorer, who is in charge of the southern party of the Stefansson expedition:
 SHINGLE POINT, Mackenzie Delta, (via Dawsan, Y. ID, Sept. IA, 1914.- 'The Canadian Arctic expedition schooners Alaska and North Star left Herschel Island August 10 and Baillie Island, Aug. 21, 1914. Both vessels proceeded eastward and established a winter base about fifteen miles east of Cockburn Point on the mainland side of Dolphin and Union Straits, about midway between Cape Bexley and Cape Krusenstern, directly south of Sutton and Liston Islands
 This is a little to the east of the mouth of the Coppermine River. The seas east of the Mackenzie River are unusually free from ice this season. Supplies and scientific equipment were landed with K. G. Chipman, topogra- pher; J. ]. O'Neill, geologist Fritz Johansen, biologist and botanist; and D. Jennsss. anthropologist with an Eskimo assistant.
 Owing to the scarcity of fuel at the winter base I went west again with the Alaska to Hersehel Island for more coal as we'll as to meet the expected supply boat. With little or no ice ahead there should be a late freeze up and We should reach our winter quar- ters again in five or six days.
 The schooner Mary Sachs with Geo. H. Wilkins in charge sailed from Baillie Island to Banks Land on August 19 and with the ocean around Banks Land free of ice they should be able to advance some distance to the north ward in the search for Stefansson's party. No news has been received from Stefansson or his party since the supporting party returned from the ice west of Herschel Island in April. The prospects for work of the southern party are good for the next year. It is we'll equipped with provisions sledges and twenty-six dogs.
