Tickets for National Tennis
Tournament on Sale Today

NEW YORK, Aug. because of
the urgent demand for seat subscrip-
tions from lawn tennis lovers not
members of any club represented in
the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association, a change has been
made in the arrangements for the ma
tional championship beginning Mon
day. August 80, on the courts of the
West Side Tennis Club. Owing to the
volume of criticism following the an
nouncement that the subscription
would not be opened to the general
public until August 20, it was decided
by Robert D. Wrenn, chairman of the
national committee, to open the sub
scription of seats for the entire tour
nament to the public today, and in
this respect place the lovers of the
game and the members of the clubs
upon the same basis without any
partiality.
Harry Parker, who had charge of
the Davis cup seating reservations.
has been notified to open the general
subscription list today at his Office
in the Forty-second street building
In the two weeks that the subscrip-
tion has been open 1000 of the seats
have been taken.

cushions on an ordinary single.
The American League teams were
idle yesterday.
The National League race Is as hot
as the weather.
Pol Perritt had the satisfaction of
winning from his Old teammates, the
st. Louis Cards, refuting the theory
that 1t was the Cards who made Pol
look good instead of Pol who made
the Cards look good when he was
with them last year.
Herzog's Cincinnatis treated the
Brooklyn bunch something like the
Kaiser's forces are treating the Rus
slams. His army of Rhinelanders
gained both points in the double bill
and captured twenty eight men whom
General Robinson used in a vain ef-
fort to checkfthe tide of battle.
Williams, of the Cubs, helped beat
ALEX the Only" with a home run he
spotted to Adams.
Gus Getz had but one hit in eight
tries at Cincinnati, which is one of
the reasons why the Dodgers lodged.
The fellow who said the National
League race is so close that there is
no first division came pretty close to
it. A percentage of .521 is good enough
to give Brooklyn second place.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-08-02

Brooklyn's pennant chances were
severely crimped by the tail-end Gin
cinnati Reds yesterday in the home
of Herzog's Teutons. The Dodgers
were beaten in both ends of a double
bill. At the same time New York
broke even with st. Louis, and Chi
cago won q ten-round bout with
Philadelphia.
Alexander and Adams had a lively
pitching tilt at the Windy City. The
verdict went to the Cubs in the TENTH
when Heinie Zimmerman slashed out
a single. Whitted tried to hold it
down to a one base hit, and in his
anxiety to stop the ball oVerran the
drive, while Zimmerman scooted all
the way home. The other Chicago
tally was a homer by Williams.
Marquard lost the first game to st.
Louis yesterday. Pol Perritt beat his
old teammates in the second half of
the card at St. Louis.
Cincinnati upset all of the dope by
beating Brooklyn twice yesterday.
The Reds made their hits more valu-
able by getting them in the pinches
and doubling the Dodgers score
twice.
The Pirates were idle yesterday,
but gained on the Brookfeds and the
Phils. who were walloped.

Newark q, Chicago 3

Ed Reulbach opposed Hendrix on
the mound In the first game and he
allowed the Whales to pluck two
runs off his delivery, but this lead
was suddenly wiped out in a three
run batting rally staged in the sew
enth inning. Chicago came right
back with the tying point and the
Pops had to spoil the holiday for
the home fans by banging out enough
hits to produce the winning run In
the ninth.
Ed Missed Target.
A wild pitch let in the first Chicago
runs in the first inning. Flack singled
moved on a sacrifice and finally came
home when Reulbach's curve ball
went wild and evaded the big paw
protector which Rariden uses as a
target. The other Chicago run, which
looked big at the time, came in the
fifth. Jackson began with a single.
He was forced by Mann but Laporte
threw wildly in trying for a double
play and Mann got to second any
Row. Smith got an infleld hit and
then Hendrix did his share to win
his own game with a stinging single
Three-Run Rally.
Newark's three-run rally was well
timed and threw cold water on the
hopes of the fans just at a time
when they had visions of a sure vic
tory. In the seventh inning Esmond,
Roush and Scheer punched hits and
filed the three pegs with nobody out,
Laporte then singled driving home
Esmond, but Flac1 was there with
p perfect throw to the plate killing
Roush. HUM walked, filing the
perches once again and Rariden fol-
lowed with a one-bas thrust that
put two more runners over the count
ing station. a..l.l
Roush Brought II Home.
The winning point came in the
ninth with Roush the tallymaker.
Roush slammed one on the nose and
Jackson slipped as he was about to
catch the ball, the drive going for
q single. Newark was quick to take
advantage of the break. Scheer
waited for a pass and was forced by
Laporte but Roush perched safely on
third. Huhn delivered the telling
blow at this point with crisp single
to center, scoring Roush. The score:

Special to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 2.-If Christy
Mathewson's famous in-drop is en-
titled to its famous CONFERENCE.-The
Fadeaway-the thing that Cy Falken-
berg was tossing yesterday should be
dubbed the "Meltaway." For eight
innings the famous tall twist-master
hurled his offerings at the Whales in
the second game of the double bill
and he famed nine men. Cy himself
says he. never had so much stuff in
his life. Perhaps the humidity had
something to do with it, for it is
fact noted by pitchers that atmos-
pheric conditions have much to do
with their success. The warm wealth
er, too, loosens up the arm of a vet
eran pitcher and Cy just moved
down the Whales like scythe.
The Chicago batters who had been
looking at the back, breaking curve
ball of Ed Reulbach were dazed into
dizziness by the floating revolutions
Of the pill under the master hand of
the celebrated Cy. The fans cheered
the big fellow repeatedly for his great
work on the mound.
Seven doubles in the second game
show how the Pops took to Ad Bren-
mans southpaw slants. 1t was the
best collection of clouting they have
shown against a southpaw this sea-
son.
Ed Roush is beginning to bat bet
ter against southpaws, fact that
has been noticeable because of the
improvement he has shown against
larboard mound workers on the pres
ent trip. Yesterday Ed slammed out
six safeties in the two battles. In
the opening contest he took two sin
giles and was satisfied, but in the sec
ond game he came up Ave times and
raped out two doubles and two sin
giles.
Frank Laporte also peppered the
pill for the Pops, while Jimmy Es-
mond bagged five hits and broke up
the second game in the twelfth by
trick base running. He caught Bren-
nan with his back turned and stole
third upsetting the Chicago inf1eld.
If the Pops can't win the flag New
arkers would like nothing better than
to see the Near-Peps win II for Kan
sas City, so yesterdays Federal
League results proved most pleasing
Games at Chicago today and tomor-
row will wind up the present road
