SEABRIGHT, n. j., August 1.-TWO
former stars of Davis cup matches,
Maurice E. Mclaughlin of San Fran
cisco and Carl H. Behr of New York,
survived the semi-f1nals in the singles
here yesterday on the turf courts of the
Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Club. Mclaughlin found Nathaniel w.
Niles of Boston a strong opponent who
forced him to a deuce set before he
won at SIS. GO. Behr had an easier
time of it with Theodore r. Pell Of New
York, whom he defeated. 6-1. Sd.
The rivals Of the west apd east will
meet today to decide the right to chal-
lenge r. Norris Williams, I'd. for his
holding of the Achelis cup. Williams
arrived here from Chicago yesterday
and tuned up his strokes against Niles.
Williams appeared to be in splendid
physical condition and remarked that
he never felt better or moro confident.
His game was going we'll and the con-
sensus of opinion among the tennis en-
thusiasts and experts gathered here
was that the Harvard star, who wrest-
ed the national honors from McLough-
lin last season, will give the Califor-
MAN the fight of his life tomorrow
should Mac" be successful enough to
Another notable who added interest
to the throng was William A. Larned.
The seven times king Of the American
courts is paired with Robert d. Wrenn
for doubles. The two famous veterans
are to meet Theodore Roosevelt Pell
and Bernon S. Prentice in a special
| match following the doubles final to-
day.
Mclaughlin, because of his unbeaten
record this year and his known deter
mination to regain the national cham-
pionship in the tournament later this
month at the West Side Tennis Club at
Forest Hills, N. Y, held the interest of
the gallery. He was lightning fast. as
he had to be, for Niles bombarded him
with low ground shots and drives.
The Bostonian broke through Nc
games in the first set. The Californian
increased his pace SO that Niles could
not hold his advantage, and won the
set. Niles, by a combination Of fine

organized ball leagues, and there will
be letting down of the bars to those
who can show they are free as regards
legal contracts and desire to rejoin
their organized clubs. 1t is a matter
that can be decided, however. by
leagues individually, it appears, those
leagues that are willing to forgive dis
loyal players being permitted to adopt
the charitable course.
81 have been asked time without
number" says Buck Herzog. why l
don't have the boys sacrifice oftener.
My reason is simply this: We are so
unreliable at bat. and SO destitute of
long. driving hitters. that we would
profit but little by sacrificing to take
a man from first to second. With such
away, in hope that good. decent hit
may come through. than to waste one
man just to gain solitaire cushion for
a single runner. The Cubs and two or
three other clubs can and should use
the sacrifice bunt right along, beca
they have long hitters coming up who
can be relied upon to send the man
home from second-we haven't any
Safer. nor any Zimmerman. SO there
we are"
