keepsie Grand Circuit Meet.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, August 30
Fine weather. fast track and large
attendance marked the opening of the
grand circuit races here yesterday, aft
er postponement from Monday on ac-
count of rain. While all four races were
won in straight heats, there were a
number of exciting finishes, and the
second heat of the Duchess 2.12 pace
furnished such close finish between
Jay Ell Mack and Diameter that the
spectators did not know which had won
until announcement was made by the
judges awarding the heat to Jay FL
Mack. He captured the third heat with
less difficulty.
Thomas W. Murphy, the Poughkeepsie
trainer. besides winning the 2.l2 pace
with Jay Ell Mack, also captured the

TITLE TO TREASURY
Defeats RosedaIe in Final
for District Championship.
.FLANNERf BATTING HERO
Slams Out Home Run in First In
ming With Three Men on the
Bases.

The Treasury team came through
with a rush last evening. defeating
Roseda1e, to 3, in a sixinning game,
winning the amateur championship of
the District Of Columbia with two
straight victories. Left Fielder Flan-
merry was the bright particular star of
the game. He po1ed a home run. the
ball going over the fence, with the
bases crowded with runners, in the first
inning. The Rosedales kept at 1t and
scored two runs in the third and one In
the sixth. but darkness ended the game
after this round.
Dust was on the rubber for Treasury,
and. while he was hit pretty hard. he
managed to keep the bingles scattered
in all but the two innings mentioned.
Albaugh started work for the Rose
dales. but after Flannery had come
through with the cleaning-up swat he
was taken out and Dyer tried to stem
the tide In the third Kelly assembled
the mound, and although he had been
there Monday he appeared to be going
at his best.
The crowd on hand was even larger
than that of Monday. and the followers
divided. The cheering was almost IN
ceSSant.
The crowd did not have long to wait
for something interesting and the fans
shouted instructions to Anderson as
he walked to the plate. Albaugh got him
out easily, but slipped a cog when he
walked McLarren. Strait was the next
man up and as he struck out Nc
Larren stole second. Big Downey
then came through with a ringing sin
gle to left and Mac crossed the plate
walked Bell and Dust. and this brought
up Flannery. This sturdy player lost
no time looking over what AlbauSh
had to offer With a full swing he met
the first ball pitched. and as it sailed
away into deep left the Treasury par
tisans let loose a yell that carried over
to the Capitol. The runners started
with the crack of the ball on the bat
and then slackened up as the sphere
was seen sailing over the fence. Flan-
merry was given an ovation as he
crossed the plate.
In the third round Rosedale aroused
it's supporters with two-run rally
Kelly led off with a triple and ODon-
nell sent him home with double
Morans hit to left scored O'Donnen.
The last half of the sixth was excit-
ing but Rosedale's final efforts tailed
! only one run. Frazer opened with a
single and Hurd sent him to third with
a single to left. Noone famed. but
Hurd pilfered second. Then Frazer
came across the pan when Armstrong
Zann's grounder. Dust then pulled
himself together and struck out Kelly
and O'DonneIl, and the battle was over.

RETAIN DOUBLES TITLE
Johnston and Griffin Beat McLough-
lin and Dawson in National
Tourney.

FORREST HILLS, n. Y, August 30
The first national turf tennis champion
ship of 1916 was won on the courts of
the West Side Club yesterday, when
W. NJ Johnston and Clarence ]. Griffin
of San Francisco successfully defended
their doubles title against Maurice +.
Mclaughlin and Ward Dawson of Los
Angeles, in a four-set match, 60, 6-3,
81, 6-3. The winners wrested dou-
bIes honors from Mclaughlin and Bun
dy on the same turf a year ago.
Mclaughlin, paired up with Dawson,
hoped to regain the crown. but the
teamwork of Johnston and Griffin was
too much for the newly formed pair.
Except for the third set, in which Nc
Loughlin flashed in bis old-time form,
the outcome was never in doubt. The
sympathies of the gallery were clearly
with the famous internationalist and
his youthful partner. Every brilliant
placement smash by Mclaughlin was
greeted with cheers, while the misplays
of both himself and Dawson brought
groans. The visitors, with occasional
lapses, played well-nigh perfect dou
bles.
of the winning pair Griffin was the
more spectacular. His smashes and
scroSs- court placement drives from close
to the net scored many points. John
ston played a steady game. The pair
repeatedly Unanswered the losers out
of positions by their change in point of
attack and place. Dawson showed
flashes of form, but on the whole was
cratic, and much of the play was di-
rected to his side of the court. Both
Johnston and Griffin repeatedly bonn
barded him with overhead and half
volley drives. At opportune moments
the attack would be switched suddenly
to the Comets side, and his unevenness
in the play frequently caught him out
of position.
Tie entire first round of the singles
championship was cleared without any
upset, the more prominent players
coming through generally according to
form and ranking. The best match was
the fve-set contest between Karl Fl.
Behr of New York and Conrad b. Doyle
of Washington, which Behr won at
Is, 2-S, e., s., 81. The Wash
ingtonian opened in brilliant fashion
and ran through two sets before Behr
could check his rush of service aces
and placement shots. When Behr
steadied down to careful play. however,
Doyle began to fade and although he
put UP a brilliant court battle was I'M
able TO hold his lead.

, day. He was not very steady, but he
worked a low curve ball SO well that
the locals were lucky to get four hits
off of his delivery: Neither of his
got a hit off OF Baghy. but Leonard
drew one pass and Smith two at his
expense.
Elmer Smith played a splendid game
in the field. He is displaying more
confidence in his fielding and made II
splendid catch off of Graney's bat in
the third, when he judged his long
Fly perfectly and turned IN time to make
easy catch of it.
Ed Charity has not had enough work
behind the bat to be able to do him
self justice there, which accounts for
the fact that he was charged with two
passed balls yesterday. ordinarily
Charity would have eaten up the 10"
pitched balls which Ayers served 70
him. but lack of work behind the bat
has handicapped him. Charity got
hit to left on his one trip to the plate
and it might be policy TO give him
chance to catch more often.

of the Braves, attempted to pitch both
games against the Pirates YESTERDAY,

Cullop, who won twelve StralShL

muscles were dislocated, and he has
been a picnic for the teams which have
faced him of late. In fact, none OF
the Donovan twirlers has been doing
as good as they did early in the sea
SON and the star of them all, Caldwell,
still is under suspension for violation
of the clubs rules. In fact. the pitcher
has not been heard from since he was
suspended His absence has been
serious blow to the Yankees, for he
always could be relied upon to do his
share to keep the team in the race
Davenport, who was supposed to be
injured and not able to pitch, was
active in winning the second game for
the Browns in Boston yesterday IN
cidentally he probably put the Red Sox
out of the running, for he hit Barry,
the teams brilliant second baseman,
and fractured his index finger, which
probably means that he will be out of
the game for several weeks.
The Red Sox without Barry will
have a much weakened infield, for,
while McNally is fair fielder, he is a
weak hitter and is not accustomed to
playing second base.

Both major league races were ma
terially tishtened up yesterday, and the
picking of the teams which will play
in the next world series is just as
hazardous a guess now as it was a

and IT would not be at all surprising
II the Carrigan team would lose the
remaining two games to Fielder Jones

showing their wonted form.
Detroit. too. is apt to make a clean
sweep of the series in New York, for
the Jennings team is getting the benefit
of good pitching these days. and. as
usual. is displaying great offensive
strength.
The dual victory of the Braves over

good guess that before the Braves fin

Harry Harper is likely to oppose
Gould. the diminutive right-hander Of
the Indians. today. Harper took
workout yesterday and after fielding
hunts for fully half an hour and work
ing up a good sweat he announced
that his arm was back in form. and
that he would be ready TO pitch today.
Griffith, however, will look him over
in the warm-up before he decides to
let him pitch. and if Harry is not
right Bert Gallia will be sent to the
mound.
Bergman. the Notre Dame College in
fielder and all-around athlete. made his
initial appearance in major league ball
yesterday, when he played second base
for the Cleveland team. Bergman made
a very favorable impression. He is
one of the fastest runners ever seen in
base ball. and he apparently has
splendid batting eye, not hitting at
anything that is not over the plate.
In the fifth inning, with one out. he
hit down the first base line for three
bases. and scored the second run Tor
the Indians when O'Neil drove a single
TO left In the field Bergman handled
every chance offered him, three IN
number. He has never played second
before, being a college shortstop, but
he did very well at that

third, and Shanks then forced Smith at
second.
Mcbride got swinging bunt down
the third base line in the second after

far into right field. but Mcbride was
