KIDNEY IS 31 TO-DAY.

Ed Konetchy, the big Bohemian who has been pastiming this season with the Boston Braves, passes his thirty-frst milestone to-day. Koney was born Sept. 1, 1885, in La Crosse, Wis, and first played professional ball in that city in 1905, when he was nineteen years old. He was with La Crosse until June, 1907, when John J. McCluskey called him to the St. Louis Cardinals Koney became a regular from that time, playing first base with great eclat His stick work gradu- ally improved, until in 1910 he joined the ranks of the 300 swatters. He fell off a little in 1912, but came back the next year with an average of .314. Konetchy remained with the Cardin- als until 1914, when he went to the Pirates, but his batting slumped in Snoketown. Last year Ed was with the Pittsburgh Feds, and he led the independent circuit in first passing and batted .310. When the Feds blew up Koney was put up for sale in Harry Sinclair's player store, and was dis posed of to the Braves. He was punched with Frank Allen and Baron Knetzer, President Haughton paying S1S,000 for the lot. When Koney broke into the majors with St. Louis the scribes described him as a Greek. and a number of fans of that nation ality raised a fund and presented him with a watch. Ed accepted the time piece and it is still one of his valued possessions.

BARNES LEADS BIG FIELD OF GOLFERS
 IN "PRO" CONTEST

New London, Conn.,, Sept. 1.-James M. Barnes of Whitemarsh Valley won the last big medal play event of the year yesterday when he finished first in the annual professional tournament of the Shenecosett Country club here. His score for the 36 holes was "A, 72- 146, just good enough to put him at the top. for Michael J. Brady of Oak ley, with 72, 75-147, and Alex Smith of Wykagyl, with 73, 74-147, were right at his heels.
 Macdonald Smith was fourth, but in the morning round distinguished him. self by making 69, a new record for the course. Macdonald Smith with his record breaking 69 of course was first yesterday morning. Brady's 72 put him in second place, Alex Smith with 73 was third and Barnes with "A was fourth.
 This quartet played together and naturally Macdonald Smith was the favorite, and for the first few holes he lived up to the part in almost flaw less fashion. Mike Brady, three strokes behind when they started. also kept on even terms with par. and the crowd settled down to enjoy a strug- gle between the pair, but Tt the same time keeping an eye upon the other two. At the short fourth fole Brady's big chance came when Macdonald Smith put his tee shot into bunker. and although he got out could do no better than for the hole. Brady just missed a ?, but made his 3 and was only stroke behind.
 Alex Smith, who had been tagging and had lost a couple of strokes, sud- denly came to life on the 467 yard fifth, and after reaching the green with two great shots ran dov'1 a forty foot putt for a 3, two strokes better than par. It put him right back in the thick of the fight, and the veteran grinned at the thronr- that had. been counting him out a moment before. Barnes in the meantime had dropped abck a stroke. but as they went on toward the turn began playing stead fly again.

CHAMPION TENNIS PLAYERS
 SHOW FORM CLOSE TO BEST
Mclaughlin, Johnston and Williams Display Some
 of Finest Strokes.

quite a distance and when he led by two sets to one is looked to be almost a certainty that he would be the ulti- mate winner In the fourth set he needed onl yone point for the set and match and held the commanding lead of 40-15 on the game. Almost any thing would have given him the vic- tory. Luck was with Johnson, how ever, and he made a net cord stroNo that would have beaten him had
 ball been an inch lower. There
 a lot of things in this fourth set L,
 set Voshell. Chiefly among them !. one occasion when Johnson twisted hi leg and had to call for a rest. Noshell was just warming up nicely at the time and held the lead in the game at 40- 15. When Johnson resumed play he managed to nose out a victory. If Voshell had won the game he would have been on even terms at 3-all and would eventually have won the match as things turned out later. He had his big chance in the twelfth game when he led on Johnson's service at 4O-15, but with victory right in sight he threw his opportunity away by some very wild shots.
 The happenings in the fourth set seemed to have a psychological effect on the game of the Brooklyn man, and he was simply overwhelmed in the fifth set. This match was the longest one of the tournament taking up nearly three hours before it was completed. Johnson played a very cool and methodical game, and never hurried a bit. dis style of play was just what Voshell did not like, and he was a very disappointed person in the dressing room after it was all over.
 Williams In Good Form. Richard Norris Williams, Ed, the 1914 champion, did net seem to take his match with Cedric A. Major very seriously, but when he wanted to score he scored. In the second set he let his rival get up to the commanding lead of games to 1, and then he ratt1ed off the net 12 games in row. At times he was careless with his shots, but he steadied down when he had to.
 Another one-time champion came through the fire of the third round in the person of "Bilr' Clothier, who was the top-notcher 10 years ago. He pldyeQ a nVe-SeC mdCcn Wlun Lyle E. Mahan, the o1d-time Columbia player. He simply walked away with the first two sets, winning at 60 and 6-1, but he dropped the net two in hard fought contests. In the last set Clothier was leading at 5-1, but the umpire made a mistake and called, it 3-1. This very nearly cost Clothier the match, for he had to fight it out to S-6 before he could be declared the victor.
 Some of the other star players who came through were George M. Church, Lindley Murray. Clarence J. Griffin and Karl Behr. None of them had a severe test of their ability and all won in straight sets from their opponents.
 An unfortunate feature of the draw is that Mclaughlin will be matched against Church today and Murray against Behr. Thus two of the strongest players in the tournament must necessarily be eliminated.

SERIOUS INJURIES
 NO BAR ID PLACE
 IN MAJOR LEAGUE

So many athletes of physical per- lection find it such hard task to stay in the major leagues that when once handicapped by accident or fate man. ages to hold on to job he Is deserv- ing of open commendation. A recent acquisition to the Braves was Fred
 (Penny) Bailey, a collegian from Marshall. Bailey is an outfielder with no minor league experience, but al- ready he has made an impression upon George Stallings, who has been
 using the youngster as pinch batter.
 While playing football at Marshall
 Bailey broke his left shoulder and so seriously tore the fragments and cords of his left side physicians declared he would be unable to throw again.
 Bailey was made of superior mould, however, and learned the art of
 throwing with his right hand, besides caring for his injured left shoulder and teaching the injured muscles to act in their former capacity.
 Bailey is looked upon as present day wonder. but he is not alone among the major league lights who have overcome accidents to throwing arms Probably the most famous player who was forced to learn 10 | throw left-handed after being brought | into the world a capable right-nand eponent Of daily eistence was Iris tram Speaker, now making hitting history with the Cleveland Indians. Speaker at the age of 70 was thrown from a horse and his right hand so torn and fractured he had to | learn to use his left. Eddie Roush, | formerly with the Giants and now a Red, fractured his right arm and had
 to learn to use his left. This fact kept Roush out of the major leagues
 for several years, as he was always a capable hitter and fielder, but could
 not, throw with any success until the | last few years.

DOYLE'S DEMANDS ARE AGREED TO BY CHICAGO NATIONALS

Chicago. Sept. 1.-Larry Doyle, trad ed by the New Yorl. Giants to the Chicago Nationals in the deal for Heinie Zimmerman, signed a three year contract with the Chicago team last night after holding out several days. It is said Doyle will receive $7,500 year from the Cubs.
 Doyle will join the Cubs at St. Louis today. He left Chicago last night for St. Louis in company with Dick Kin sella, Giant scout, who first brought Doyle into the hmelight with the old Springfield, H., Three I League team
 Doyle very nearly caused the can- cellation of tine trade whereby the Cubs sent Zimmerman to the Giants. Larry insisted on getting a three-year contract at figure greater than that for which his Giant contract called. He also insisted on getting a bonus and threatened to retire unless he got what he wanted.

NSw York, Sept. 1-Some time In
 the past Robert Louis Stevenson sang
 about sixteen men on dead man chest" There are 16 left in the na-
 tional lawn tennis tournament. the
 third round of which was completed
 yesterday on the courts of the West
 Side Tennis club, at Forest Hills, and
 the dead man. is the championship. ] Most of the tennis fans" think that
 William M. Johnson, the Californian,
 who won the title last year, is not going to repeat. He is in the hardest | part of the draw, although he came
 through with flying colors in his thlrd round match, he has some severe op- stacles to overcome before he can get ] out to the last bracket. From what 1 was seen yesterday Maurice E. Mc- l Loughlin of California, looks to be one of the hardest hazards he has to | overcome The Comet has not look ed so very good in his early matches, but yesterday he opened the eyes or l the onlookers when he scored a vic- 1 tory over Theodore Roosevelt Fell | that was mighty convincing.
 | The other night Mclaughlin was called on for speech at the dinner to Robert D. Wrenn, and he said: Il | can't understand why everyone is say ling that I am making a grand come iback I never knew that I had gone laway anywhere" This bespeaks the confidence that the popular one-time champion has in himself. It is quite ! evident now that he has been keying himself up to concert pitch and the < longer he plays the better he is get < ing. Teddy" PelI is no sluggard on thee ourts, but Mclaughlin did with ! him just about as he pleased and had no trouble at all in beating him 1n straight sets in the most convincing !style.
 Champions Startle Crowd.
 If Mclaughlin startled the crowd by fihis great display of old time tennis, Ehe had nothing on William M. John fstou. for the latter seemed to come tout of his shell, too, and play the sort fof game that made him the champion a year ago. Johnston had the sturdi-
 est sort of opposition in the person of Nathaniel w. Niles, of Boston, still he sbeat him in straight sets in one of the sfastest matches of the tournament. This pair had met only once before | and on that occasion, a year ago, the fBostonian triumphed without much trouble up at Longwood, so it was ex- tpected that the match yesterday would sbe a very hard fought one. Johnston, however, put on the pressure right from the start and proved that he has la long way to go back yet to be put t3nto the discard. Everything that he kknows of the game of tennis was tbrought out to perfection. Niles played Ia good game both at the net and in thriving, but he was simply swamped kby the racquet wizardry of the cham ipion. Time after time Johnston tbrought off his famous "kills'' on placement and the harder a pace that
 was set for him the harder he played.
 Niles never hat a chance and was out
 class ed.
 About the only surprise of the day
 was the defeat of the Kings county champion, S. Howard voshell, by Wal flace F. Johnson, of Philadelphia. Vo- shell had high hopes of going through

Brooklyn, Sept. Billy Miske of St. Paul knocked out Johnny Howard of Rayonne in the tenth round of their bout in the Clermont A. c. last night. Miske gave Howard a thorough drub- ping throughout. In the third round Howard went down for a count, but was saved by the bell.
 Again in the ninth session the Ba- yonne boxer hit the canvas, but the bell sounded in the nick Of time. Tn the tenth Howard twice hit the canvas for counts of nine, and the third time he went down the referee waved Miske aside and refused to count over How ard. The winner weighed 16e pounds, while Howard was five pounds lighter

LONGEST BIG LEAGUE GAME

The longest game in major league history was played in Boston just ten years ago to-day, the Red Sox and Athletics being the contesting clubs. A double-header was scheduled, and the first game started at 3 o'clock. Coombs was in the box for the Mack men, while a youngster named Harris twirled for Boston. The Athletics got man across in the third inning, and Boston evened up in sixth. After that there was no more scoring until the
