My reason is simply this: We are so unreliable at bat, and so destitute of long, driving hitters, bhat we would profit but little by sacrificing to take a man from first to second. With such a. club it is better, believe to whale away in hope that a. good de- cent hit may come through than to waste one man just to gain a. solitaire cushion for a, single runner. The Cllbs and two or three other clubs can and should use the sacrifice bunt right along. because they have long hitters coming up who can be relied upon to send the man home from second we haven't a Safer nor a.

WASHBURN SAVES. CHAMPION FROM 
 LOSING DOUBLES.

Newport, Aug. 18.-R. Norris Will Hams 2d performed so poorly in the lawn tennis singles here yesterday as the field of competitors narrowed to- ward the finals as to cause consterna- nation among those who hope to see him retain the crown of the courts in the National Tournament by turning back the expected assault of Maurice E. Mclaughlin. The followers of Eastern tennis, who in the keenest of sectional rivalry had pinned their faith upon the magnetic Harvard player, found it difficult to reconcile his slump in form.
 In the singles, in which he faced Charles M. Bull. jr., the many times champion of the Crescent Athletic Club, Williams scored at 5-7, 6-f, 8-6, .1-6, 6-1, more by the waning of the strength of his opponent than by any improvement on his side of the net Tn the early sets Bull repeat ed1y outplayed the holder of the Ma tiona1 Championship at close range Williams volleys and passing shots were never finding the mark, nor was his service usually a dependable wea- pon, equal to Accomplishing anything. He was like a man playing in the dark by guesswork with the result that the AA1oJOAACy O1 IAAO Oo-AAo AetAAOO0 SA4C net.
 Bull specialized in love games against the American title holder in the third and fourth sets. He slaugh- tered the returns at the net, begin ming finely in the fourth set with two love games and reeling off a lead of 40 before Williams got a game. It was a pace, however, that Bull could not maintain, and as his endurance left him, Williams better stamina car ried him through over an adversary who had actually outplayed him.
 There was no change in Williams game when he took the court with Watson M. Washburn, his partner in the Eastern doubles championship. They faced G. CoIket Gamer and Frank J. Sul1oway, a scratch com bination, and it required the limit of three sets before the team that had won at Longwood could claim the victory at 7-5, 4-6, S-6.
 In this, as in the singles, 1t was the net that found most of the national champions returns. Throughout the day Williams game was as a lighted candle in a, draughty room- It flick cred and faded. Then there was a glow of brilliancy as he brought off a wonderful crossing shot. The flash would be followed by intense gloom. It was poor tennis for d champion.

BARNEY DREYFUSS CALLS PRESIDENT
 TENER A BLUFF

Pittsburgh, Penn, Aug. 18-Presi- dent Barney Dreyfuss of the Pitts burgh National league club has the following to say in explanation Of his action in using Rube Benton: .sI am going to fight this thing through to a bitter hnishs and if can't get Justice in the league I'll take the league into court, sue for damages, and also enter suit against Herrmann and the Gin cinnati club.
 A number of years ago Harry Pull liam decided the Davis and Elberfeld cases against the New York club9 John F. Brush was then president zof the Giants. Because of these cases he hated Pulliam like poison. He deter mined to tie Harryss hands as presi- dent of the league He fathereds an amendment to the constitution of the league which absolutely made a figure4 mead, a dummy of our president. so far as disputes other than those arising
 with players on the bah field are con cerned.
 He deprived the president of all say-so. all powers in disputes between cup owners. and specifically set forth the executives powers President Tener8 last night had John HeydIer wire me that could not use Benton. and that must turn him over Fto New aY York The telegram stated that the urnpires had been instructed to forfeit e--1S @<14A1CS HI W11cn we tried to IlSs Benton.

T ca n recite it backwards Tener ought to De able to do the same, if he is cona- pete11t to fiji the position he holds. Ire board of directors alone has the power to do what Fener has done
 M MoreoYer, I happen to know that his reference to instructing the unn- pires to forfeit any game in wbicl, Benton. works for us is merew q ebIIiff No such order was Issued by Terer. r talked with John Heydler this morn- Ing, and he told me that it was isISt 7,1 piuE told HeydIer he had no right. 70 send the telegram ha had dispatched to me- and he admitted it, but said that Tener had called him up some where near Boston last night and or dered him to do it.
 -I paid 4.000 for Benton. and sent tderrnlannfmy check for that amount received word from him that he in tended to keep the check until the case was finally decided, but that he wo1II5 not use the money.

M'KINNON USING THE SHERIFF YET
 TO COLLECT COIN

Hartford, Aug. 1S-Constab1e James R. Graham is still attaching the re- receipts of the Colonial baseball league in an endeavor to tie up enough collateral to cover the claims of Hugh A. MeKinnon, deposede man ager, for back salary. The consfaF3Is has followed the schedule closely to note when doubIe-headers come along and he has been found lingering not far from the box-office when the people were trailing in
 My but the crowds have been sIim,'' commented the constable +0- day.
 Saturday night the constable drop- ped into the State Bank & Trust Go. to find Calvin C. BoIIes. agent of the league, counting the revenue from the double of the afternoon There was $95.50 in the pile and MT. BoIIes was preparing to forward a check for the when the hand of the law interyened Constable Graham attached the amount. Yesterday the constable went down to the baseball grounds and completed the attachment by serving papers upon Business Man agere Robert c. Wilson.
 The constable began attaching the receipts on July 2S. His writ, re- turnable to the city court. Sept 8, called for $1o0 to protect McKinnoEi's 8 claim for $78 The first attachna ent found only S54.75. Alexander Bann- wart, one time secretary of the league, disputes zMcKinnon's claim, asserting that the amount due is only S28. He sent a cheek for this amount to Mo Knnon and the latter sent 1t back. Constable Graham feels he should at tack $5.50 additional to be on the safe side. He will probably be among the few at the next baseball game.

 The Leach Cross-Johnny Griffiths bout at Ebbets' Field has been post poned until Thursday night, at the re- quest of Cross, who pleaded stomach trouble, caused by the heat. It was not until noon yesterday that Cross notified the promoter that he was not feeling well enough to go on with such a formidable opponent as the Westerner.
 Rube Benton has had some sad and so1nbre outlooks. Once he was near ly killed by a trollye car, and now certain people are trying to force him to play ball in Pittsburgh.
 The following pungent paragraph is taken from the Washington Post: The Boston club is pennant wild They are going at top speed now and will stoop to most anything to bring abou their purpose. The Red Sox are fighting other ball players, and take exception practically to every ruling of the umpire. They look aI good deal like the Braves about this time last year.
 They're naming Betzle and Long and Robertson and Baird and Ban croft among the crack. youngsters of the year, but seldom mentioning one of the most prominent buds of the last season or two, Eddie Collins, the swift and slender outfielder of the Pirates.

 Say what they wi11,'' says Ty Cobb, ''big league infie1ds are getting better every year, and the day is coming when it will be hard to hit 300. The pitchers are good. too. There was a day when each team had a star pit cher but the rest of the staff was wonderful. Today each team has a couple of god pitchers. They all pitch to set me down without hit, and still I am hoping to hit 400 this season. That will lead the Ameri- can League, I guess, and if it does not. why, will have to go even bet ter, that's all.''
