BRYAN AND HALL MIuGLE IN FINALS
 FOR TENNIS TITLE

Gregory Bryan defeated q. q Buckingham yesterday and expected to clear the way for honors in the Patriotic Tennis tournament. It was. the largest contest so far in the tour nament, the score being 9-7, 6-4. It was unfortunate for Buckingham to be made te play two hard matches in one day but in order to keep up with 6fle schedule it was necessary for the winner of the Pianfsani- -Buckfng- ham match to play Gregory Bryan. Buckingham played well and showed no i'll effects of the morning contest but nevertheless the morning contest did not improve his condition. Last year Buckingham put Bryan out of the city race. This was 8 very inter- estfng match to watch, many games going to duce and no set being won by more than two games. Bucking- ham lobbed frequently which Bryan handled with ease and smashed them for passes. This afternoon the tour. nament began it's doubles. "
 Lacy lowered his colors to Dr. Hall yesterday when he allowed the city champion to beat him 6-0,. 7-5. This allows Hall to play Gregory Bryan today for city iaurels. Lacy played an excellent game in spite. of the fact the score. does not give that impression. Lacy stroked well and never let his game get away from
 him.

WINNER
 OF SIXTH STRAIGHT
 FOR M'GRAW CLAN

Boston, Sept. 15.-Despite the fact that the Braves made an even dozen hits, including 8 pair of two-baggers, William Dayton Pol" Perritt pre- vented Stallings players from cross- ing the plate, and the Giants won the third game of the series here yester- day afternoon by a score of 5 to 0. It was PoPs sixth consecutive victory and bis third shutout in his last four games.
 For efficiency with men on bases Perritt's performances this afternoon was the best seen at Braves Field this year. The New York boxman was constantly in trouble. but he courage ously and skilfully pitched himself free from danger time and again and finished the game in a blaze of glory by striking out >Rehg and Schreiber in then inth inning with theb ases loaded with white-bedecked players.
 One big inning-the second-was sufficient to net the New York team victory. In this round the coming champions launched vicious attack on the left-handed offerings of Ar thur Nehf, and before the side was retired five runs were over the plate. George Burns, the brilliant outfie1der of the Giants, as usual had his finger in the pie. The outfielder hit for three bases with McCarty on second and Perritt on first
 Rabbit Maranville paved the way for the winning drive of the Giants. With one. out, Fletcher was hit by a pitched ball, but was forced at sec- ond by Jimmy Smith. With an easy chance to retire the side, the Rabbit fumbled Holke's grounder and both runners were safe. McCarty singled and Smith scored. So did HoIke when | Perritt dropped a single into centre field. Whereupon Burns inserted his timely. triple and the catcher and pit cher trotted over, the plate. Burns
 tallied on Robertson's inf1eId out. Brilliant fielding helped Perritt to
 achieve his shutout. The New York
 players perpetrated three lightning 1 double plays on the Braves, choking
 off budding rallies each time. The
 great Heinie Zim engineered two of
 the double plays and Jimmy Smith started the other. V

He swung a most potent ash, paging four hits, all singles as clean as a whistle. in four times up. Three of them ripped big holes into the side of Col Rupperts 1 crfAft. The last one sunk the ship, theb jingle driving in thew inning run. Mays, aided and abetted by Sam Az tnew and Mike McNally, downed the kYan7ks. 6 to 5. It was great day for the tail end E.Of the Boston batting order, as the
 players registered nine of the 12 Bos- ton hits. Neither Agnew nor Mc-
 Sally ever got many complimentary notices because of his batting. Sam | usually hits around 200, and Mo-

LEONARD KNOCKS
 OUT BLOOM IN 2ND

Pittsburgh, Sept, 15-Benny Leon ard, lightweight champion of the world, added another knockout to his record last night. He stopped Phil Bloom, Brooklyn lightweight, in the second round of a scheduled ten round bout at Forbes Field.
 A right hook to the jaw, the second in the round, sent Bloom to the mat. When he was picked up and carried out of the ring he complained that he had hurt his ankle and was unable to rise before being counted out. Bloom hardly put glove on the champion. In the first round Leonard dropped the Brooklyn boxer with left hook to the jaw and Bloom rested for the count of nine before getting up. He was apparently afraid of the cham pion and made hardly an effort to land a punch.
 The second round was On just few seconds when Leonards right con- nected with Blooms jaw and he start ed to reei. A second one, landing in the same place, ended the fight,
