TENNIS STARS TO
 BE SEEN IN ACTION

Chicago, August 1-Prophets were doubtful today concerning the western tennis tournament which resumes tomor- row at Lake Forest because definite infor- nation about the probable attendance of out-of-town players was lacking. The new northwest champion, George M. Church of Tenafly, N. J.; Joe Armstrong of St. Paul, runner up, and Dean Mathey, Church's partner in doubles, are expected tomorrow. Latest news concerning the California entries encouraged hope that w. M. Johnston of San Francisco would be on hand. Johnston is picked to win the championship.
 Clark Griffin. who won the western title in 1913, is expected soon. Maurice McLouglin may not reach Lake Forest un- til Wednesday, Eastern prayers besides Church and Mathey expected are R. N. Williams, national champion. and his double partner, ". M Washburn.

Pirates Show Spurt-Su- perbas Slumping - Cubs Continue to Lose

New York, August 1. Western teams moved east ward in the American league last week, and Ma tional league teams of the east began another western invasion. The net result has been almost negligible. The American race frightened by nine percentage points dur ing the week with no change lin the standing.
 In the National league, Philadel- phia, in first place, gained one point, and Cincinnati, in the cellar, lost five, although this widening between top and bottom positions was narrowed by Cincinnati's double victory over Brooklyn and Philadelphia loss to Chicago today. The only changes in the league table were the displace- ment of Chicago and New York by Pittsburg and Boston in the first di- vision. West against east, it vir- tually was a drawn battle and IA of the 16 clubs yesterday were no nearer the top than one week ago.
 1 or the two clubs which did climb PIttsburg and Boston-the Stallings clan claimed chief attention. In last place early in July, sensational squirt | like the one that took the Bostons from the bottom to the championship last summer seemed visionary to the yet the Braves began exactly that sort of a climb. Fifteen games won out of 19 played was their record up to | Thursday night, when they were in third place. There they were checked | Friday and Saturday by Cincinnati and dropped back one position, Pittsburg moving ahead.
 Superbas Slumping
 To Brooklyn fans the weeks work or the Superbas was a keen disapp oint- ment, after their rapid rise to second rlace the previous fortnight. Brook lyD won only two games out of six and the teams advantage over third place was only two full games Saturday night. A batting slump accounted for at least half of their recent defeats. While the Chicagos, at home once

more, improved their playing, they did not resume the stride which earlier in the season took them to the top. Two victories and three defeats was their record and the team was forced back to fifth place by the fine work of Pitts- burg and Boston. Chicago defeated the league leaders today, however and is only a fraction of a point behind Boston.
 New York did nearly as poorly as Chicago, the Giants slipping down into sixth position.
 St. Louis continued only the average game this team is playing but the Reds wound up a poorly begun week by haltng the rise of the Braves. They continued their new spurt against Brooklyn today.
 The weeks close in the American league found Washington and St. Louis with the best showing, each with four victories and two defeats. The Sena- tors made more secure their hold on a place in the first division, through New 4ork's poor playing, the Yankees dropping three games out of five and falling below the LOO mark
 As for the three leaders, Boston failed to hold it's own, winning only two out of five, and Chicago and De- troit broke even and all three fell off i'll percentage points. Two games Is the difference between the Tigers and the leading Red Sox today-with the White SoX in between them-as against two and a half games as the margin one week ago.
 Connie Mack's squad continued it's poor playing. losing five games out of seven. Of the last 20 attempts Philadelphia has been successful in only four.
 Federal League
 Another week of play in the Federal league brought only one change. Pitts burg, winning six games and losing two while St. Louis was losing five and win ming two, took third place from the Mis- souri club. Kansas City took the lead in the Federal league for first place, but this advantage was shortened today to half a game when Chicago lost to Newark. Tie games today cost St. Louis fourth position in the first division, the Rebels through their loss of game to Buffalo, being displaced by Newark. Buffalo's victory took that team into tie with Brooklyn in sixth place. Brooklyn lost ground during the week, and but for extremely poor playing oy Baltimore, might have dropped into last position.

 Atlanta. August 1.-By continuing it's winning stride started two weeks ago, Birmingham last week further threat ened the leadership in the Southern association race held so long by New Orleans. The Pelicnns with weak encd pitching staff. were able to win while Birmingham won four, lost one and tied one.
 Official figures of the standing are lack ing and there is a variance in percentages published by the newspapers on the cir cult. The majority, however, give the .57O for Birmingham.
 Memphis, in third place, also had a bad week, winning only one of the four games played, while Nashville in fourth place could win only two of it's five games.
 New Orleans, which for two weeks now has been playing a less consistent game than previously. won half of it's six games. Memphis, In third place, also had a poor week, winning one of four games played while Nashville in fourth place won two out of five contests
 The race for the pennant continued close with both Memphis and Nashville only a short distance behind the two leading teams, and with either of the first two second division teams, Atlanta and Mo bile having a chance to get in the first div ision.
 Both Atlanta and Mobile won three games and lost two. Chattanooga follow ing Mobile in the standing won two, lost four and tied one game during the week. Little Rock, still in last position, secured an even break on the weeks play winning 2 three and losing three.
 Players Unchanged
 The week was marked by the return to the southern association of Dave Callahan who after a years absence, now is in left field for Nashville. Calahans return came with the retirement from the as- sociation of George Kircher who gained a wide reputation as a comedian in con- nection with his coaching.
 Few other changes were made in the personnel of the clubs, but among them was a deal whereby Manager Smith of the Atlanta club secured Pitcher Day from Little Rock. Day appeared against his former teammates for the first time yesterday and Won his game.
