To Lone Hit

Williamstown, Mass, June Will
Jams defeated Middlebury by the score
of . to here this afternoon in one OF
the best ball games seen on Weston
Field in recent years.
Foster, the Puppies southpaw twirl-
er, was the star of the contest allow
ing only enc hit and one pass from the
Twenty-Five men who faced him during
the game. Three pitched balls retired
Middlebury in the third inning, and five
in the eighth.
The rest Of the Williams team also
played brilliant ball, particularly Cap
tain Young, who shifted from pitcher
to third, made two put-outs. three fast
assists and two hits out of three times
at bat.
The visitors only tally came in the
sixth inning on their only hit, single
by Ahern, which Radley misjudged,
the runner completing the circuit be-
fore the Williams centre fielder re-
turned the ball.

England Alone
Puts Its Ban
On Race Game


London, June 1.-The stoppage of
fiat racing in England has brought
much criticism from all followers Of
the sport throughout the country, as
Great Britain and Ireland are the only
countries engaged in the war where
racing cannot take place.
This is not the fault of owners and
breeders, who, although suffering
heavy losses, were willing to carry. on
the sport with the object of keeping
the United Kingdom the finest horse
breeding country in the world, but
owing to the fact that the War Cabinet
has placed ban upon racing.
France, although. part of her terri
tory is in the hands of the Germans.
recognizes the absolute necessity of
testing the thoroughbred for the sake
of horse breeding. Racing began at
Chantilly on May 7, and further
seven days racing took place during
the month. Ten days have been ar
ranged for June, while four have been
decided upon so far for July at Mai
sons-Lafitte. Other meetings are
scheduled for every month up TO Oc-
tober.
The French War Horse Society has
voted its budget for this season and
will disburse 1890 francs to the fol-
lowing meetings: Aurillas, June D.
5000 francs; Tarbes, June 3, 10000
francs Siales de Beaun, June -, $500
francs; Caen. September IS, 1890
francs; Corlay, September %, 10000
francs; Nantes, September 27. 2l,s00
francs Chanellcs. October. $4,000
francs, and Pau, October, $4,000 francs.

Schoolboy Wins
With Partner
In Tennis Tilt

Only two matches were completed
yesterday in the annual invitation lawn
tennis tournament of the Sleepy Hol-
low Country Club, at Scarborough-on-
tional interscholastic champion. and
Edward II. Whitney. former intercolle-
gate title holder. defeated Lyle +. Ma
han and Arthur W. Macpherson, for
mer champion Of Russia. in the final
round of the doubles by score of
6 >, 6A3.
In the second round of tho singles
s. Howard Voshell, national indoor
champion, defeated Abraham BaSsford,
jr.. by score Of {. 6 ,. Throck-
morton and Mahan started their singles
match in the same round, but with Ma.
han leading at 81 on games in the
first set Throckmorton pulled a tendon
in his neck and was unable TO con-
tiuue. He insisted upon defaultlng
then and there, but this Mahan would
not listen to. and the matter was still
undecided when the men left the court.
Rarely has Throckmorton given a
more spectacular exhibition of smash
ing and low volleying than he showed
yesterday in the final round, doubles
match He was all over the court, leap
ing into the air TO "kill' the ball by
terrific smsshes, and volleying so
sharply across the court that Mahan
and MACPHERSON were frequently
caught far out of position. Whitney
played the type of game that fitted in
perfectly with Throckmorton's slam
bang style of play, being always the
steadyng factor, particularly IN the
latter part of the second set, when the
interscholastic champion lost control OF
his mcteoric shots.
MACPHERSON was the stronger player
on his side Of the net. His forehand
drives were played low and hard, and
his volleying to the corners was re-
sponsible for a score of placement aces.
Mahan was not so effective overhead
as usual.
Noshell found Bassford troublesome
in the first set, when he attempted to
meet the latter at the back court style
Of play. but once the indoor champion
vent TO the net he finished Oft the
points decisively.

Third or Fourth

"To settle terrific and growing debate, writes Pip,
do the best hitters bat third fourth? say third,
while others say the clean up is fourth"
We should say third place has the edge. Cobb bats
third and so does Speaker these two being the best
hters in the game. Eddie Collins and Dave Robertson,
both bat third does Eddie Roush the leading hitter
Of the Reds
But the Yanks Pipp bats fourth and Baker fifth;
SuFy Mcnns the best batsman the Mackmen also bats
fifth Joe Jackson bats fourth, and does Hal Chase.
But there is any margin is decided in favor of Cobb,
Speaker, Collins and Robertson.

the fall of 1915. After two seasons
with Saskatoon the vigorous youth
graduated 10 the Waco club, OF the

on the wires and through the mails.
Before the Fourth of July he had the

II looked for a time as if Walters

Get Walters Right Away
That last sentence clinched it with
Huston. The White Sox were at the
Polo Grounds the day Gilkes's letter
arrived. That afternoon Schalk did
almost everything to the Yankees that
imagination can picture. He got three
or four hits, including some extra
basers. pilfered a few bags and stopped
the Yankee runners in their tracks.
"Get Walters right away" the cap

supplemented:

Stock Prices Lower
and Market Stagnant

New York, Aug. 1O.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The trend of prices in today's alto
gethre dull and uninteresting session
of the stock market was irregularly
dawnward. The opening was strong, ar
ter which the general list became un-
settled, followed by period of distinct
weakness, with some later alternate re.
oovery and reaction. This state of things
was due mainly to what little adjust
ment of accounts was necessary for the
week end recess.
A selling wave, which caused sharp
reeessions in the leading issues of one to
four points or so, set in in the late
afternoon but some of these losses were
recovered before the closing. About the
only issues which did not suffer net
losses were the shipping and tobacco
stocks.
Bonds were quiet and steady. Both
financial securities circles were less dis
posed to get excited over the price reg
ulation question. 1t can scarcely be ex-
peeted that the big companies which
lave been supplying war requirements
for nearly three years past at what
may be termed handsome profits, will
look upon any very stern price clipping
with entire equanimity. This affords
ample reason for the dullness, the pro-
fessionalism and depression which has
oyertaken the market this week.
