BoSTON, August 17.-Despits wonder
full pitching by Bert Galia here yester-
day the Nationals were unable to break
for them on the Red Sox field this year.
The Boston players got only two hits
OFF the delivery of the Texan, but they
proved sufficient to win, because Joe
Wood pitched rema rkable ball also.
Wood was hit harder than Gallia, though.
ami II was the brilliant support of his
teammates which helped him out of sew
eral holes The score was 1 to O.
One of the hits made off GalIia was
a three Dagger by Hooper. This was
followed by sacrific fly by Scott, which
proved sufficient to give the Red SoX
the long end of the score. 1t was a
hard game for the Nationals to lose.
There were several occa sions when a
single would have tied up things and
might have thus been the means Of
winning, but Joe Wood, helped by some
splendid fielding by Barry and Lewis,
managed to prevent one. Two of the

BY II. C. BYRD.

The results of the games in the anna
, teur base ball series yesterday were
just what were expected. The three
stronger clubs won from those that
have generally been considered weak
err. Agriculture was given the hardest
fight, General Office holding it to a .
to-4 score: the Machinists defeated I'm
manuel easily by to 3. and the Ma
rnes got the long end of the count in
their contest with the Rosedales by
I to /.
The one feature of the three games
was the pitchers battle between Forest
Thompson of General Office and Owens
of Agriculture. Both men worked ex-
ceptionally well. and it was to their
splendid pitching that the two clubs
owe the closeness of the conflict. There
was very little difference in the hurting,
Owens allowing two hits. giving three
bases on balls and striking out five;
while Thompson famed five, walked
two and was hit safely five times.
In the game between Emmanuel and
Machinsts, Eddie Thompson was hit
hard at times and his teammates did
not give him very good support. This.
coupled with the fact that Lefty"
kuhnert worked effectively for the
navy yard players, accomplished just
about what might be expected under
such circumstances. The Machinists
scored one in the first. two more runs
in the fourth and held "a good lead
from then on.
The Marines completely outclassed
the Rosedales. They scored two runs
in the first period, another in the sec
ond, none in the third and two each in
the fourth and fifth. The contest was
called at the end of the sixth. Rose
dales' only count was gotten in the
fourth.
Just how effective was the hurting of
Owens and Thompson in the Agricul-
ture-General Office game is shown by
the TACT that not a member of either
club got more than one hit. Anderson
and Purdy made the two safeties reg
lstered off the delivery of Owens and
zee. Shugrue, Bailey. Carroll and
strait were the ones that connected for
Agriculture against Thompson. Incl
dentally, Bailey's hit was a drive that
went for three bases, and came when a
man was on third

BIG TENNIS SURPRISE.
Rowland Evans Defeats Ward Daw-
son on Newport Courts.

NEWPORT, August 1.-THE first an
nual invitation lawn tennis tourna-
ment on the turf courts of the Newport
Casino began here yesterday morning
with an even fifty players entered from
all over the country in the draw.
Although the national championships
will not be held on the Casino courts
they were surrounded throughout most
of the day by a gallery no less brilliant
| than those during the many years that
the all-comers' tourney made this
Rhode Island town the lawn tennis
center of America.
California was represented by Maui
rice Z. Mclaughlin, rated as the great
est player in the world: William NJ.
Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, chal-
lengers for the national title in doubles.
and Ward Dawson, champion of south
ern California.
Dawson alone was put out of the tour
nament yesterday, the newest player
from the coast going down before Row
land Evans of the Merton Cricket
Club of Philadelphia by score of
6-4. 6-3. e.. The result of this
match was the one surprise of the day,
all the other logical favorites coming
through.
Richard Norris Williams, I'd, the ma
tional champion, and the strongest rep
resentative Of the east, defeated Frank
NJ. Watrous, the former Yale player,
in straight sets at 6-3, Ga, 60.
Johnston was too much for Ralph
L. Baggs of New York, and won by a
score of 6-1, GO. 60.
The most stubbornly contested match
of the day, and one that found the
men still battling for the points long
after the sun had gone down, was the
one between Clarence J. Griffin and
Lyle E. Mahan of the West Side Ten
mis- Club Of New York. 1t was not until
the sets had gone the limit at Ct.
60, 6-S, 6-S, 6-3, that Griffin pulled
up in the lead. Mahan fought his
stocky opponent almost to standstill,
and Griffin was a pleased young man
when his opponent lost the final point
of the match by netting Griffin's serv-
ice.

SCORES TEN-DAY CLAUSE.
Judge in Marsans Case Criticises
Feature of Players Contract.

ST. LOUIS. August 17.-Arguments or
the application of Armando Marsans
Cuban ball player. who jumped from
the Cincinnati Nationals to the St
Louis Federals year ago, for modif
cation of an injunction which prevents
him playing with st. Louis, were re-
sumed in the Federal district court
here yesterday.
Judge Dyer. presiding, said he did not
approve of the ten-day clause in the
contracts of organized base ball. THE
day clause" he said, gives the
club all the better of it. The club can
give a player notice of release. but the
player cannot give the team for which
he is working any such notice. 1t is
a one-sided affair.

There will be no more base ball con-
flicts in Kansas City between the
American Association and the Federals,
as under the schedules each team VIII
have the field to itself when at home.
1t is admitted in association circles
that the Feds have bested organized
all in the matter of crowds in Kansas
City this season, but that was to be ex-
pected. due to the unpopularity of Te-
beau in the beginning and the fact that
the Fed team has been in the pennant
fight in its league almost from the
opening of the season. Then, too. the
Feds in Kansas City have had only a
minor league article of ball to COM
pare against. THE Blues play better
ball than the Feds one Kansas City
fan is quoted as saying. but the crowd
is with the Feds because of the popu-
larity of the people backing the Fed
club"

fact that he has been given a L. s. G..

golf, while at tennis he has won the
Middle Atlantic States title. which
means that he is far above the ordinary.
