former malvelous speed.

former malvelous speed.
 The chubby Griffin and the lean, freckled, boyish Johnston and their opponents tapped the ball back and forth for a while and then the um- pire, Eddie Conlin, took his place and the match began. The spectators fol- lowed the play with the keenest en- thusiasm and frequently broke into loud applause at the exciting rallies occasionally. Mclaughlin showed flashes of speed which led enthusiasts to believe that before the match was over the champions would have to fight the battle of their lives. When Red Mac" had a chance for one of his cannon-ball smashes he would bound the ball high over the heads of his opponents. They were wise enough to keep the ball as close to the net as possible.
 In the fourth game of the first set Mclaughlin and Dawson engaged in a beautiful rally, the ball whizzing back and forth many times before Johns ton, finally getting into the fray. drove it into the net and lost the game. For a time the challengers kept an even pace with the champions. but Dawson was wild, and his returns overdrove the mark.
 When the crowd wasn't worked up to applause the quiet of the courts was broken only by the sing-sone tones of the umpire, calling out "Fifteen-lOve, fifteen-all," or game for Johnson and Griffin"
 The second set found the champions playing a game which had harmony L H been swift and the spikes of the play CTS were tearing up the velvety turf. In the eighth game of the second set one of Dawson's returns seemed to balance momentarily on the top of the net and then tumble over the wrong way. The play made everybody, in- cluding Dawson and Mclaughlin, laugh.
 Cheers for the Ex-Champion
 Enthusiasm over the match in- creased in the third set when, for the first time, Mclaughlin and Daw- son won a slight advantage at two games to one. It was then that the friends and admirers of the Comet let themselves loose. and for the first time during the match cheers added to the din of the applause. It was in this set that Mclaughlin made the first service ace of the match. when he at last got one of his cannon-ball drives over and 1t whizzed past the opposing played like a flash. Mac also caught a high lob from Griffin and slammed it so hard that 1t bound ed over the canvas into the stand.
 The biggest demonstration of the match came when the chaliengers took the set at 7-5 and all the spectators were on their feet to give Mclaughlin and Dawson encouragement Then came the intermissfon, and the badly cut turf was rolled out smoothly again. For a time the sun disappear ed behind the slate-colored clouds and there was a touch of October coolness in the air. Then the sun came out again and the match was resumed

MAMMA BEATS TIME LIMIT AND RIVALS
 lN ST.RRING RACE

Nahma had to beat 10 yachts, Fath- ond of the series of races for the Man asset Bay cup, which was sailed on the waters of the Sound yesterday. With just 35 minutes of time staring him in the face, Addison Hanan, who was at the tiller of the cup defender. squared away from the last mark of the 20 mile triangular course set for the race yesterday. He was then at ca Neck and had to cross the Sound, a distance of three and one-half miles, in that time, or there would De mo race" after five hours of hard sailing.
 The wind was none too strong. Nahma was behaving beautifully. He broke out his spinnaker, called on all the gods of the winds and waters to help him and set at his task. It seemed an impossible one to the crowds on the craft following the racers. Hanan has been taught there was no such word as fail. He proved to the crowd that it was not in his vocabulary. at least. When defeat seemed certain, he steered Nahma across the finishing line in triumph, Wllu put one anu SeCOIluS leeway. Nahma finished triumphant ly at 6:GS:13. Hau IL been 6:1O:01 there would have been no race, of ficially.
 It was the greatest race Hanan ever sailed in his long caerer, even surpass- ing that wonderful exhibition of Mon- day, when he sent his crippled yacht across the line in third place and won undying fame among yachtsmen by so doing. He has the satisfaction of knowing that among yachtsmen he has won an important niche in their hall of fame. The second race of the Manhasset Bay cup series was the fin- est, and at the same time the narrow est, escaHe rom being no race in the history of the struggles for its posses sion.
 As Nahma and Ahmeez are now tied in points. today's race will presumably decide the possession of the much coveted trophy for another year.

LARRY DOYLE SEES GIANTS NIP RALLY
 AND DEFEAT REDS

Cincinnati, Aug. 30-The Giants beat Matty's Cincinnati Reds here yesterday afternoon by a score of to ?. The Reds made a rally in the last two innings, but failed to overcome New York's lead.
 Heinie Zimmerman did not report here yesterday, but telegraphed Mc- Graw that he would be on hand for today's game, and that he was well satisfied to play baseball in his home town. Heinie is a resident of the Bronx
 The Giants had Herzog at second, Lobert at third, Kelly on first and McCarty behind the bat. This com bination showed a lot of life and worked well, but when Zimmerman arrives today he will probably be placed at third base. McGraw intends to give Kelly a thorough trial at first.
 Larry Doyle came to the park to pack his bats and turn in his uni form. Later he witnessed the game from the grand stand. The Giants have a real affection for Doyle and hate to see him go. Charley Herzog will take IArrys place as field captain.

TRAvERS WON'T PARTICIPATE IN
 GOLF CONTESTS

New York, Aug. 30.-With 155 en- tries, including every prominent play CT with the exception of Walter J. Travis and Jerome Dunstan Travers, the nations' amateur golf champion ship will get under way over two courses of the Merton Cricket club at Haverford, PenD., on Monday morn ing, Labor Day, at S:20 a. m. At this hour, standard Eastern time, l.. R. Munger of Dallas, Tex IS, will tee up his ball on the first tee of the east course. with Sherill Sherman of Yah nundais as his partner, and at the same fatal moment, one mile to the west, G. A. Ormiston of Oakmont will start his qualifying journey over the west course, accompanied by Chisholm Beach of Fox Hills.
 All the metropolitan favorites, all the promising youngsters of the South, and each and every one of the formid- able aggregation from the Middle West will be on hand at the Merton links to try. to dethrone Bob Gardner from his high position as national amateur champion. Gardner's posi- ton is very insecure, for not only has he 154 separate and distinct individu- ais bent on depriving him of the title that he won last ~aar at Det~oft hrt such a small thing as a cut finger Is liable to put him hors de combat before he makes his official start or constructs his first line of intrench- ments. However, he isvscheduled to appear at the first tee of the east course at 9:'7 a. m., in company with Hamilton Kerr of Greenwich, and. Judging from his past performances on the links and on the athletic field. nothing short of an amputnted leg will Keep him from at least making a bid for the retention of his title

DODGERS COMPLAIN
 OF SMOKE NUISANCE

New York, Aug. 30.-Charles H. Eb- bets Jr., secretary Of tie Brooklyn National League Baseball Club, ard George Lundequist. gruuIdkeeper at Ebbets Field, were in F1atbush court yesterday to complain against the Hy- gefa Ice Company, which has a plant on Franklin avenue, opposite Ebbets Fled.
 Zach Wheat and the others playing the outfield at Ebbets FieM MT. Eh- bets said, had complained that smoke coming from chimneys of the ice plant, oftentimes mixed with cinders, made it difficult for them to judge fly balls driven into their territory. A summons will probably be issued to have the officials of the ice company in court some time before the Dodgers -et homo on September 12.

TIGERS TRIM TANKS ] TWICE, RELEGATING
 THEM TO 9TH RUNG

The roar of the Tiger was heard at the Polo Grounds yesterday. The last seen of the Tanks they were in side their club house barricading the door. Not that they are afraid of the Jungle Cats. They are going after them again today. but they do desire few moments rest and quiet in which to get their second wind.
 Jennings, Cobb & Go. took the first game by a score of g to 1 and the second by a count of to l. Even had the Tanks been able to add the runs that they made in both contests they still couldn't have won a game. It was not so much that they couldn't hit the ball They made seven hits in each game and they secured a triple and a couple of dou- bles, but they were not able to ham, mer the leather with runners on the bases.
 The visitors had no such difficulty. They not only clouted the ball to all corners of the lot, but they made their hits count. A total of 1 runs and 21 hits is pretty good work for one afternoon When you included among the hits home run, two triples and five two-baggers it makes a very excellent showing indeed. Cobb, veach and Spencer were the sluggers of the day. In the two games the Georgia Peach struck four safe blows out of eight official trips to the plate, giving him an average of 300 for the afternoon.
 veach faced the, pitchers seven times and made five hits. In addi- ton to this he got couple of bases on balls, which, of course, do not count in his times at bat. Spencer made two hits out of four times up in the first game and two out of three times up in the second game.
 Nick Cullop twirled the first con- test against Harry Coveleskie and the Detroit left handler had decidedly the better of the argument. As a matter of fact Cullop did not last through the contest, but was relieved by Slim Love after the enemy had made five runs in six innings. Love went along we'll enough for two frames and then the Tigers got to him for four more runs.
 The invaders didn't lose any time in scoring They counted in the very first inning on Vitt's triple and a sacrifice fly by Bush. They made two more in the fourth on singles by Cobb and veach, a pass to Burns and a long drive to centre by Spencer. In the sixth they drove Cullop from the mound. Cobb almost knocked Nick 8 head off with a fierce single to cen tre, but he was caught stealing a moment later to the great delight of j the 10000 fans in the stands and bleachers.
 Doubles by Veach. Crawford and Young and Spencer's single gave De- troit two more tallies. Love might have been more effective with little better support. With three men on bases in the ninth inning and one out veach tripled to right. It looked as if Oldring misjudged the hit. Veach himself scored on Crawford's sacrifice fly.
 The real feature of the first game was a great catch by Hughey High. who, by pulling down ball with one hand while on fhe dead run, probably robbed Cobb of a four-base hit to deep left centre.

Telephones, York 6oo7, York 1877.

The pastor preached the second Of
the series of sermons on Christian
Science and the Atonement" last Sun
day morning to an interested audience.
That these messages will promote
good is beyond question. When the
people come to see that Science and
Health is in direct conflict with the
Word of God, there will come to be a
greater dependence upon the power of
Christ without the help of Mrs. Eddy.
The coming Sunday will close the
series.
Sunday evenings illustrated lecture
was attended by vast throng which
taxed the capacity of our auditorium.
The interest in these Bible lessons
is most remarkable. The series, From
Creation to the Cross" will close Sun
day night, when Miss Mable Cole will
sing the Holy City, illustrated by the
stereopticon. It will be a privilege
out of the ordinary and no one should
miss it.
Barring threatened railroad strikes,
the party who expects to attend the
National Convention at Kansas City
will leave Monday at 1880, via Rock
Island, most of whom expect to be
gone several weeks.

The Rev. John A. Greggs, D. D..
president of Edward Waters College
Jacksonville, Fla, brought our congre
cation eloquent and helpful messages
last Sunday, both morning and even
ing, and splendid crowds focked to
hear him. Our loss was that his stay
in Denver was too limited to deliver
his illustrated lecture on "The New
South" Monday evening. Mr.. VIM. G.
Campbell, Miss Ailene Campbell, and
Mesdames Brookins and Fluellen were
received into the fellowship of the
church. The ushers furnished us a
long list of visitors who worshipped
with US last Sunday, but the list is
misplaced at the time of this writing.
One among the most praiseworthy
traits in the character of Shorter
chapel is the disposition on the part
of its members to weep with those
who weep and to rejoice with those
who do rejoice. During the last few
days our church has given three sur
prise parties and one reception. The
surprises were to Mrs. Unity Hall,
who after having given the commuD-
.ity 25 years of genuine service, left
