SPEAKER STILL HEADS
 AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTING
Georgian Peach Advances Into Sec
 ond Place.

A stern chase is a long chase, and with Iris Speaker booming along in front pulling away slowly but surely, many a weary knot separates Ty Cobb from the leadership in the American League. Ty has advanced into second place, gaining three points on his last weeks average. but Speaker made a corresponding gain, and the relative positions of the men remain unchang- ed. The Texan points to his average of 30O with pride. Cobb views a mark of 349 with alarm.
 George Sisler is advancing as the season wanes. This wonder workman of the rampant Browns is hitting an even 300, and, judged from the last couple of weeks, will mount still high CT. He gained four points last week. Babe Ruth continues to hold his place in the batting lists, and is up above the charmed mark. The St. Louis Browns, who are setting the league on fire, are not high in club batting averages. nor in their collective field ing average high. Baseball is played on the field. however. and not on the record book, and a few errors are not retarding the tribe of Jones.
 The averages include the men who have played in fifteen games or more up to and including August 10:

Fourth Round in Tennis Today
Lake Forest Matches Afordng Many Thrils-Robers Made Williams, Former Champion, Hustle -Mkami De- a+ed hv Thrnclnorton

Lake Forest, H., Aug. 16.-Players left to compete in the fourth round of the singles tennis play for the Casino cups- as a result of today's matches are: William M. Johnston of San Francisco, the national champion. who will meet w. M. Washburn of New York; Harold A. Throckmorton, the Elizabeth, N. J., schoolboy, who will play N. w. Niles of Boston; the Ja- panese champion, I. Kumagae, whose opponent will be Douglas $. Walters of New Orleans; and Clarence J. Grif- fin of California who will try concIu- sions with R. Norris Williams of Phil adelphia, former national champion.
 Williams today had difficult time in defeating another California player, Roland Roberts, and there were criti- cal periods when it looked as if he must yield to the skill of his oppo- nent. In the first set Williams was clearly Outplayed, but he took the sec Ond with east. From then on through three sets, both men played brilliant tennis and kept the large gallery thrill ed with excitement. Roberts tied to- ward the last and with the score tied in the final set at five all, Williams won the next two games largely on the CalifOrnian's errors.
 The match between w. M. Johnston and Richard Harte, the Harvard uni versity played, was staged Cn the championship court but it ran second in interest to the Williams Roberts contest. The national champion won in straight sets.
 Mikami, one of the Japanese play CTS, fell before the accurate strokes of young ThrOckmorton, but his fellow countrymen. Kumagae managed to wrest victory from Harry c. Johnson of Boston in one of the longest matches of the day. Kumagae won in straight heats, but took forty three games to do it.
 Maurice Mclaughlin and Ward Daw- son of Los Angeles. Pacific coast champions, will meet the eastern ti- tie holders, George M. Church of Ten aly, N. J., and Willis E. Davis, of San Francisco, here tomorrow in the final match of the national lawn tennis championship preliminaries for the right to play w. M.

It was a grueIl- ing contest throughout and was mark ed by numerous sensational plays. Weaver, Eddie Collins, Scott, Walker Barry and Gardner figuring most prominently. In the sixteenth, Hooper was passed after two men were down. He stole second and scored when Me MuIIin made a. bad throw to first on BarTy'S grOunder.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STRONG.
Trading Was the Largest of Any ses-
 sior Thus Far This Month.

New York, Aug. 16.-Disregardin the deadlock in the railway labor con troVersy and the increasing pessImism reported from western and northwest added Variably but for the most part substantially to price aCCrGatiOns of the early week
 Trading was the largest on the up swing of any session thus far this month and COmprehended a far greater number of issues. There were indica- tiOnS of extensive short Overing acnd more than a moderate inquiry from investment sources.
 Prices were merely firm at the out set. but gathered force before mid day. The terms of the new British loan, which is expected to relieve for eign pressure upon this market, seem ed sufficiently attractive to stimulate speculative sentiment in some issues to the point of buoyanCy.
 United States Steel, Mercantile Ma rine, common and preferred, Reading equipments constituted the most active features. Steel, on an Overturn Of about 150O00 shares, rose 2 If to 91 14, it's highest quotation since 1909, when it made the record price of 94 7-8
 Marine common attained a new rec ord on it's rise of 3-4 to 34 7-S, with new naXimumS for the old and new bonds, and another shipping issue At lantic, Gulf and West Indies, estab- ished a new maximum ta 6S to IS. Incidentally, Republic Iron and Steel preferred achieved a like distinction, mounting to 113.
 Other striking features included Cuban-American Sugar which rose g points on the declaration of extra cash and stock dividends, the Independent Steel and Iron shares, munitions, mo tors, United States Industrial Alcohol and MeXicans. Gross advances in these various stocks, which were re- tained in large part at the close, ranged from ? to 4 points. Total sales were 835, 900 shares

RICE TO REMAIN AS
 COACH AT COLUMBIA.
Rowing to Be Major Sport at New
 York College.

Rowing will remain a major sport at
 Columbia university and Jim Rice will
 continue to act as coach. Charles Hal sted NTapes, chairman of the university
 committee on athletics, has issued a
 statement in which he declared that
 all arrangements with the coach had been satisfactorily completed and that
 Rice would live up to his contract,
 which has until 1921 to run. He also
 announced officially for the first time
 that the committee had decided to make no change in COlumbta's rowing
 policy other than to have the sport controlled by the general athletic as soCiatiOn instead of by the Columbia Rowing club, as heretofore.
 The statement follows:
 So many conflicting reports in re-
 gard to the rowing situation at Colum- bia, have appeared from time to time ] that perhaps an authoritative state 1nent of the status may not be aIniss. The first reports that Columbia would abandon intercollegiate rowing, which ware so widely published were entirely without foundation, their only l basis in fact being a call for an in i formal meeting of old rowing men and those interested in the sport to con slider the question. At this meeting 1t was decided by unanimous vote that 1 Columbia should not withdraw from intercollegiate rowing. It was further decided that rowing, instead of being controlled by the Columbia Rowing club, one of the subsidiary branches of the general athletic associatin6, should in the future be run directly by the association itself, precisely as football, baseball, track and other sports are conducted All arrange ments have been satisfactorily com pleted. Columbia will remain in in tercolIegiate rowing as in the past, and Jim Rice will continue to act as coach"

Hans Wagner holds the pace with most of his younger rivals and is still hitting the old leath CT at a .317 clip
 The reason or Brooklyn leading the league becomes more apparent when the batting averages are sea- med. The Robins lead the league in team batting with @ mark of .260, and also have an adge on their rivals in the long hits by clubs. Buck Wheat has done his full share in establishing this supremacy.

 It appears to be a walk away for the Chicago men in the first two sets but starting the third. Davis put his bull let-like service to work and used the same terrific drive in returns. It was all east after that, for despite their careful playing, Hayes and Burdick could not get started.
