PLAY IN TENNIS
 TOURNEY HALTED Rain Causes Postponement of Yesterdays Matches.
 To Be Played Today

No matches were played in the eighth now in progress at the Country club yesterday afternoon, as scheduled, due to the hard rains in the morning hours, which made play on the clay courts im- possible. The matches will not be played until this afternoon as the courts will not be sufficiently dried for play this morning.
 Interest in the tourney has prac- tically been eliminated by the continu- uous rains which made the entry list exceedingly small and now rains out the few matches that are scheduled. Chairman Brooks of the tennis commit tee stated last night that the matches would have to be run off as fast as pos sible whenever clear spell showed up and the prospects at the present are that the postponement of the early matches will cause the tourney to run slightly over its schedule.
 The matches scheduled for this aft ernoon at 3 o'clock are as follows: Marsh vs. Warren, Jones vs. Whitaker, Simpson vs. Lange, Black vs. Adams, Peterson vs. Mudd, H. Smith vs Brooks, Jaoens vs. Salmon.
 Doubles: Drennen and Lange vs. Brooks and Bartlett, P. Smith and Whitaker vs. Warren and Crawford. Adams and Salmon vs. Roberts and H. Smith, C. Blake and o. Blake vs. Wills and Peterson.

SHIP YARDS OF U. s.
 DO GREAT BUSINESS
Great Britain Despite War Still Leads the World in Construction of
 New Vessels

Washington, July 1s.-War's revival of ship building as an American industry is emphasized in a bureau of navigation statement today, showing that the coun- try's ship yards had under construction or contract on July 1, 3S5 steel merchant vessels of 1225,7S4 gross tonnage. High ocean freight rates proved the stimulus that quadrupled construction within year.
 Great Britain, although hampered by the drain of war and great naval pro- gramme, still leads the world in building merchantmen. Her ship yards have under actual construction now 423 steel merchant ships of 1,4233s5 tonnage. and would have more but for the fact that private yards are engaged in building war vessels.
 The entire world in 1915 launched 743 merchant ships of 1,201,6 ,63S tonnage. Of these S4 of 177,46o tonnage were launched in the United States.

Water continues to follow the BarOns. Rain prevented the second game of the series with the Crackers yesterday aft ernoon when n steady downpour in the morning made Redwood too wet for play in the afternoon. Both the BarOns and Crackers were at the park fin full uniform but Chubby MOIey and Charley Frank decided that the field was too wet and consequently the game was declared off.
 A double header is scheduled for this afternoon, the first game to start at 2,15 o'clock. Provided more rain does not fall before time to start the game this afternoon. Moley stated last night that the field would be in almost per- feet condition for today. GrOundkeep- CT Jim will have n force of helpers nt work early this morning to help condi- tion the field.

PROBABLE BATTERIES

Preacher Perryman and Elmer Ponder are scheduled to work in the bargain bill against Ad Brennan and one of the hurl- CTS who pitched in Mondays game. Ed Lafitte will probably be the choice for the second game. Neither Frank or Moley announced their batteries as posi- tive.
 When questioned last night to the re- port circulating among reliable parties last night that Eddie Lennox, .s the Cracker third baseman and former field captain. had been placed on the ineligible list, and would be given his uncondi- tional release in the next few days, Frank merely chuckled. 'I won't deny 1t or I won't confirm it." said Charley. Tt may be true, but m in no position to say in justice to Lennox."
 When asked who would play third base in today's game, Frank also refused to answer this question. It is the general opinion among fans that Lennox will be released and Tex Mcdonald placed on the hot corner. Tex was seen practicing at third base before Mondays game and together with the fact that Lennox made such a poor showing, the belief has gained much ground, and 1t is expected that Tex will appear at third in today's s game against the BarOnS

The double bill this afternoon will com plete the stay of the Crackers. Moley is highly discouraged over the rain, but he is of the opinion that the jinx will soon be shaken. Frank, however, was in a cheerful mood last night. and did not seem to be worrying whether the teams would play today or not. The prospects of playing the game today Is very doubtful as the weather man is quoted as saying probable thunderstorm ers." If the rain causes the postpone ment of the double affair today, the two games will be played on the next trip of the Crackers to RickWond
