FRIAR ROCKS RACING ENDS.
$50, 900 Colt Will Never Bear Silk
Again-Goes to Stud.

NEW YORK, September 5.-"Friar
Rock will never race again" This an
nouncement was made yesterday at
Belmont Park by John E. Madden, who
last week bought the great Rock Sand
colt from August Belmont for $4,000.
The fact that Madden had decided to
retire the youngster to the stud was
the result of an inquiry from a number
of persons as to what he thought of
Friar Rocks chances in the Realization
urday.
The decision of the new owner of the
colt not to allow him to race again has
caused surprise and not a little dis
appointment among followers of the
turf.
Mr.. Madden went on to say: II have
thought over the matter carefully and
have definitely decided not to race
Friar Rock again. At present he is
perfectly sound, and / do not want to
take any chances of his getting hurt,
and such a thing might occur If he
started next Saturday. He has defeat
ed everything around, and 1 consider
him the best three-year-old that has
raced in many seasons.
L have come to an agreement with
Mr.. Hildreth. Friar Rocks trainer, and
have given him a sum in excess Of the
percentage had the colt started and
won the Realization stakes Friar

Johnston and Williams to Meet for
National Tennis Title on
Forest Hills Courts.

FOREST HILLS, n. Y, September s.
Master racket wielders from the east
and west will contend here today for
the 1916 national singles championship.
Richard Norris Williams. I'd, of Phila-
deIphia, and William NJ. Johnston of
San Francisco, sole survivors Of 12S
players who entered the tournament a
week ago, won their places in the finals
yesterday by defeating, respectively,
Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco and
Robert Lindley Murray. formerly of
Palo Alto, but now resident OF
Bayonne, N. ]. Williams eliminated
Griffin, 6-3, Ga. 6-3. and Johnston
disposed of Murray. 60. 6-3, 6-1.
Johnston showed steadier tennis than
did Williams. Murray was not as fast
and dashing as when he defeated
Church Saturday, but this was due in
part to the broader and better balanced
game played by the victor. Johnston
had little trouble in passing him. The
indoor champions service did not ap-
pear to be quite as certain or severe as
against Church, and Johnston was able
to handle 1t without trouble. Johnston
stroked the ball with accuracy and
familty from any portion of the court
and made remarkably few outs and nets
considering the high wind. This was
due in part to the fact that he drove
and haIf-volleyed close to the net most
of the time, forcing Murray into the
position where he was obliged to lift
the ball when he could reach it at ali.
