TITLE FOR GRIFFIN.
Wins fristate Tennis Championship
at Cincinnati Tourney.

CINCINNATI, September 1s.-C1ar-
ence Griffin of San Francisco won the
trfstate tennis championship in mems
singles today while Miss Molla Blur
stedt of Norway captured the tristate
title in ladies' singles.
Griffin had little trouble in disposing
of W. s. McElroy of Pittsburgh in the
challenge round. winning in straight
sets. 81, 6-3, 6-3.
Miss Bjurstedt likewise had an easy
time in the challenge match with Miss
Ruth Sanders Of Cincinnati, whom she
defeated by scores Of 60. 81.
There was never time that McEl-
roy displayed tennis of quality that
was up to the standard shown by Crit
fin. The westerner was at all times
commander Of the situation and scored
the majority of his points by the infer
Tor playing of his opponent.
Rain interrupted both matches, and
the final round in mems doubles sched-
uled for this afternoon had to be post
poned until Monday.

Small Crowd Attends.

A comparatively small crowd attend
ed the game, which was one of the
best ever played in an intercity series.
Both teams gave splendid exhibitions,
and their work merited applause on
more than one occasion. Threatening
weather conditions and a lack Of gen
eral interest, which naturally followed
the two ene-sided victories of Agricul-
ture in Richmond, kept the attendance
down.
Dunn pitched mighty good ball for
Richmond until the ninth inning, when
Agriculture began to hit his delivery
hard. Owens also worked we'll for
Agriculture. and the contest was really
a pitchers battle, with both men doing
good work except for occasional wild
streaks. Score:

Victory Over Portners Yester-
day, 5 to 4, Gives 1t South
ern Amateur Title.
GREAT RALLY IN NINTH
PROVES DECISIVE FACTOR
Farmers 60 Into Last Inning q Run
Behind. But Manage to Score
Twice.
BY n. C. BYRD.

The base ball team representing INC
Department of Agriculture is the ANA
teur champion of the south. A brill
liant ninth-inning rally gave 1t the
third game of the series with the PORT
ner nine title-winners of Richmond,
on the Terminal Y. NJ. C. A. grounds
Yesterday by a score of to 4. The
Washington representative had pre-
viously taken both contests of the dou-
ble-header played in Richmond a week
ago. and after it had been victorious
in the third, which was the first of the
double bill to have taken place here. it
was decided to call Oft the fourth. in
asmuch as a slight rain made condi-
lions bad and the title had already been
decided.
It is doubtful if an amateur club has
ever come through in the last half of a
game in the intercity series as well as
did Agriculture. 1t went into the seventh
inning with the score standing 4 to 1
in favor of the Portners. and in the
ninth with the count to 3. 1t was
that final period which gave the fol-
lowers of the Asgies their real thrill OF
the afternoon. Fraser was put in to hit
for Owens, and he led off with sharp
grounder past Baur. Pee then made two
attempts to sacrifice, and after failing
each time drove a short liner to LETT
for a single. Lemeric hunted pop ny
into the pitchers hands. but Shugrue
caught the ball fairly on the inside and
sent it down past Gentry at third 50
fast the fielder did net see 1t. scoring
Fraser and moving Pee to third. and
himself going to second on the throw
home. Mccarthy then hit sacrifice
hy to left on which Pee crossed the
plate. and the game was over.
During about three-fourths of the
contest it looked very much as if Rich
mond would win. The team from that
city played much better ball than on
It's home lot. Right in the first inning
ii scored two runs and held lead until
the end of the ninth. Gentry opened
up the game with a drive to right CEN
ter for two bases. Bransford hunted
safely along the first base line and stole
second moment later F. Burch hit
to the infeld, and on the throw to the
plate Gentry was safe. A. Burch sin
gled past Cusack and scored Bransford
r. Burch. who was safe on the fielder 9
choice, had previously been thrown out
trying to steal second. and Owens dis
posed Of Moran and Baur himself, toss
ing out the former on an easy roller
and tanning the latter.
Agriculture got its first run in the
third. Pee opened with a single and
stole second. Lemeric struck out and
Shugrue went out. Dunn to Baur. Nc
Carthy proved equal to the occasion,
though. and lifted the ball against the
fence for two bases. Pee crossing the
plate easily. In the seventh Agricul-
ture scored two more. Pee again start
ing the rally. After Owens had struck
out. Pee walked. Lemeric hit the tall
to the fence for two bases, Pee cross
ing the plate. Lemeric went to third
when Shugrue was thrown out on a
grounder to third, and Mccarthy came
through with another hit, which sent
Lemeric over.
