BIG TENNIS TOURNEY
IS NOW UNDER WAY
Weather Conditions Are Adverse fol-
Opening Of the Cham
pionship Play.

FOREST HILLS. n. T.. August 81
Play in the thirty-ifth annual cham
pionship tournament of the National
Lawn Tennis Association began at the
West Side Club here today under ad-
verse weather conditions. A strong cold
wind blew across the courts from the
north and the gray light handicapped
the contestants in the opening round.
The turf, except on the grandstand
courts. which had been covered with
tarpaulin. was still soft from the re-
cent rains.
There was no lack OF enthusiasm
among the entrants, however, and the
a'st relay of the 12S players entered
were all in action shortly after 10
o'clock The opening match on the
grandstand courts brought together
two collegians in c. a. Major Of Cor
nell and B. c. Law of Princeton. There
was but sprinkling of spectators in
the stands at the start Of play. but later
trains from New York brought out
large numbers Of tennis enthusiasts.
1t seemed probable today that the
challenge round for the national dou-
bles championship would not be played
until the close of the competition for
the singles trophy. The custom has
been to play this match on one of the
early days OF the tournament. hut
Thomas c. Bundy's delay in starting
east has made II impossible to set a
definite day for the match thus far
Interest In the tournament this YEAR
has been Increased by the series east
va west team matches. which will fol-
low the championship at the end of
next week. probably September 10 and
II. Harold H. Hackett. former Davis
cup team captain; Craig Biddle of
philadelphia and Edwin Sheafe of Bos-
ton have been appointed a committee
TO select the eastern team. Efforts are
being made to bring Ella FottrelI here
from the coast In time for these
matches. The eastern cracks declare
that In their defeat by the Californians
IN July they were handicapped by hay-
ing TO play on asphalt. They EXPECT
70 do better on the turf courts here
and are confident Of victory in the inter.
sectional matches

MACK NAILS RUMORS
M'|NN|S WILL JUMP
Athletics Boss Says First Baseman
Will Rejoin Him
Tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA, August 51.-Ru-
mors that Stuffy McInnis had or would
desert the Athletics and jump to the
Feds were nailed yesterday by Connie
Mack, who slipped into town while the
Athletics were transforming. 1t being
an open date on the American League
schedule.
II do not know why McInnis acted in
the manner he did," said Mack, but l
have no doubt he has a good explana-
ton. I expected McInnis to join the
club in every city that we visited on
the western trip, and when he did not
appear, wired him at his home in
Gloucester. Mass. Instead of telegraph
ing his reply, McInnis wrote and said
he would be in Philadelphia Wednes-
day when we open the home stay with
Boston"
Connie was decidedly non-committal
about what he thinks Of the Athletics
prospects, but did say that he was GER
tain Tom Sheehan, the recruit from the
Peoria club of the Three l League.
would be major league certainty.
1T is too early yet to make any pre-
dictions about the other players" he
remarked
Mack was an interested spectator at
the Phillies-St. Louis game and
watched Pats Pets come from behind
and win out over the Cardinals. II the
sight Of Philadelphia club out there
fighting 1t out for a pennant brought
back memories of his championship
machine. he did not say SO.
Mack said he was not surprised at
the release of Chief Bender by the Bal
timore Federals. He predicted that the
chief would come back in fine style
next season. declaring there is still a
lot of good pitching left in him.
The chances are that the Federal
League released Bender just to get him
to sign a new contract at a lower sal
ary." he declared. They simply are
not taking in the money and must do
something to cut down expenses. I
would not be surprised If that is the
policy they pursued in the case of Rus
sell Ford. and they wanted Bender also
to submit to a cut in salary"

dropped right and left by the Feos
during the present season, ana III ho'
single instance has there been com
promise Of the contract arranged
The latest player to be turned loose
is Chief Bender, who after being re-
leased by Connie Mack hooked up with
the Baltimore Feds. Just as soon as
Bender showed that he no longer pos
sessed his cunning as a pitcher ne was
turned out regardless OF what his con-
tract called for.
Though the Feds howled long and
loud about the reserve clause In the
players contract, experience is teacn-
ing the promoters of the new league
that the rules which have for years
governed base bali are essential TO lts
success. and slowly but surely the 1li-
more contingent is adopting them.
One reason for the advantage that
the Boston Red Sox hold over their
rivals is the fact that they are better
fortified in the event OF emergency
than any Of the other contenders. II
would require a series OF mtshaps 10
cripple the Carrigan team to such an
extent that it would not be able 10 give

ner and Janvrin and Gainor whenever
anything happens on the infeld, while
with Carrigan eligible as a catcher the
team is not apt to be Short-handed be
hind the bat, while there is large
array of pitching talent.
Take Cobb and Crawford out of the
Tigers lineup and Jennings chance
would go glimmering. Let Eddie Col.
Inns drop out of that Chicago infield
and what would happen? But with
Boston a man or two can be spared
and the teams standard not impaired,
which Is a great advantage In long
drawn-out pennant race.
While 1t has been proven that the
present combination of players under
Manager Griffith is not strong enough
to land at the top in an American
League race, it is, nevertheless. one OF
the hardest teams in the league to
strengthen, for the reason that every
position is filled in a manner good
enough not to give a large percentage
of the material which can be brought
up from the small leagues chance to
take the place of present lncumbents
1t would require youngsters of great
ability to take the places of any of the
members of the present team. and
strengthen It. Only very small per-
centage of the experiments which are
brought up for trial each year make
good. Two or three are thrown Into
the two major leagues every year or SO,
and it freqently happens that not
single player Of ability is added to any
of the teams.
II is but natural that conditions on
the local team are hard to change, for
the reason that the man in charge will
have to be convinced that the recruit is

The chances are that Manager Griffith
will have all the players he intends to
carry next season signed up before the
present campaign is ended. There are
quite a few, local players whose con-
but there are others who have been
signed from year to year. and it is this
element that the manager will get into
line as soon as possible
The Federal League is making a
strenuous campaign even this early,
, the object being to dssatisfy players
by making them big offers and thus
raise the salaries of clubs in organized
base ball. Several of GrifTiths young
sters have been approached. and he has
lost no time getting them into line
Gallia and Harper, two of the Ma
t1onals' pitchers, for instance. had been
felt out by the Feds and then signed
with the local club.
Within the next few days the eastern
National League clubs which are most
prominent In the present pennant race
and this sojourn on foreign grounds is
pretty sure to decide which team Is to
win the flag this yea.
Neither the Phillias, who ere leading,
nor the Dodgers. who are In second
place, have shown mach away from
home in the present Campaign, and I'M
less they upset the dope they are not
apt to set things attire on this final trip.
Ihose western CLUBS have proven them
selves formidable OF late and are sure
TO be troublesome. The one team which
has shown itself At ITS best on the road
In this and the previous campaign is
the Braves. and 1t is believed that the
Staillngs' champions will De able TO re-
peat and work their way TO the ton
during the coming invasion of the
west.
