Fred Anderson was sent after the
last game, and was opposed by Marvin
Goodwin, the Milwaukee recruit. The
Cardinals threatened 20 get to Fred as
early as the first inning. After Long
and Smith had been retired, Miller rat
tied the boards Of the left field bleacher
wall with three-base drive. He didn't
get any further than third, as Hornsby
wound up the inning by grounding to
Herzog.
Cards Get to Andy
Andy got by without any trouble in
the second, but he was not quite so for
tunate in the third Gonzales pOlled
one over the great Zim's head for two
bases and advanced to third on Good
wins sacrifice. Long hoisted a sky
scrsper to short right field. Holke and
Robertson both started for II, and both
kept on going.
As invariably happens in such cases,
neither got it. The ball fell safely to
earth and bounded away, and before It
was recovered Gonzales was over the
plate and Long was perched on third
base. Smith slashed a drive down the
ing Long. Burns made a running catch
of Miller's drive to deep left centre,
shutting off a sure triple. and Hornsby
again fell down in a pinch by hitting to
Fletcher, who threw him out at first on
an easy play.
More things happened TO the spit
baller in the fourth. Herzog robbed
Cruise of hit by a great play on his
hard drive past the box, but Paulette
shot a clean single to left. Zimmerman
threw out Baird, Paulette advancing to
second, and Gonzales's single to centre
scored him.
Goodwin Starts Like a Matty
For four innings the Giants went
hitless, getting only one man to first,
on an error by Hornsby, in that length
of time. In the fifth they got two run
ners on the sacks, but it availed them
nothing, as neither scored. Fletcher
drew a base on balls and went 70 sec
ond while Miller was throwing out
Robertson. Holke then beat out hit
to Paulette, putting Fletcher on third.
Goodwin knocked down Rariden's hot
smash and threw him out, Holke going
TO second, though Fletcher was held at
third Joe WilhOit was sent up TO hit
for Anderson and was retired on
Miler's fine pickup and throw Of his
grounder.
Al Demaree went to the hill in the
fifth, and was given a warm reception
when Long, the first batter to face him.
doubled to right centre. Tommy was
left stranded in the base paths, how
ever, as Smith, Miller and Hornsby
were all turned back hitless.
The Giants threatened to start some
thing in the sixth. but fast double
play killed them off. After Burns had
been retired Herzog singled TO left and
Kauff drew a base on balls. thinner
man then hit into a double play,
Hornsby to, Miller to Paulette.
Doak Rushed to Rescue
Goodwin pitched fine ball until the
ninth, in which frame he weakened and
gave way to Bill Doak. Kauf beat out
a hit to Baird, and Zimmerman walked.
Gonzales made a foolish throw to sec
ond that went wild and put Kauf on
third.
At this point Doak went to the box,
Miller muffed Baird's throw Of
Fletcher's grounder to force Zim, and
Kauff scored. Robertson singled TO
deep short, filling the bases, but Holke
struck out and Rarden brought the
game to a close by hitting into a
double play.

California Girl Changes Pace
and Wins Tennis
Match
By FRED HAWTHORNE

SOUTHAMPTON, n. Y, Aug. IL
Adopting new tactics against her great
est rival, Miss Mary X. Browne, Of Cali
fornia, who held the woman's national
championship in 1912, 1913 and 1914,
defeated Miss Molla Bjurstedt, present
holder of the national title, by the score
of 60, ca, on the turf courts Of the
Meadow Club this afternoon.
The match was the outstanding feat
ure of the Red Cross Ambulance Fund
Lawn Tennis Tournament, and a not
able gallery saw the struggle between
East and West. Having learned by pre-
vious experience that the harder the
hall comes at her the harder Miss
Bjurstedt crashes it back, Miss Browne
modified her game to such an extent
that the champion was almost COM
pletely baffled. Except on rare occa-
sions, the little Californian softened
her stroke, driving a high, slow ball
with a lazy bound that Miss Bjurstedt
could never handle effectively.
The result was that the champion was
guilty of more errors in the two sets
than ordinarily fall to her lot in a
three-set match. She first tried to
stroke" the ball with her regular full
sweep of the racquet that has made her
forehand drive a memorable thing IN
the tennis world, but found that she
was either landing in the net or over
driving the base line by foot or more.
Miss Bjurstedt Trapped
Eventually, Miss Bjurstedt fell into
lust the error that Miss Browne had
planned that she should, namely, to hit
the ball softly herself, and she was no
better off, for without her speed her
game was robbed of half its effective
ness. and the Californian was able TO
place her returns where she please, and
as a court general she is the superior
of the champion.
While not as spectacular a match
as some of the free-hitting exhibitions
these two great players have struggled
through before, the meeting this after
noon demonstrated Miss Brownies abll-
ity to adapt herself TO circumstances.
With Miss Bjurstedt never able to
swing into her true stride, the former
champion gave notable example OF the
technique of her game. She got splendid
depths to her drives, always forcing her
rival to hover near the base line except
when the opposing court was wide open
for a placement shot. Sometimes, as
Miss Bjurstedt rushed for the midcourt
position to finish off her points, Miss
Browne fooled her by lobbing deity
over the champions head to within
inches of the base line.
Takes First Four
The Californian made a runaway
match of it at the start, taking the first
four games, without a break. Miss

TO STUDY IN JAPAN
Chinese Princes and Children Of Gen.
eraI to Receive Education in
Nippon,
(By Associated Press.]'


(By Associated Press.]'
Toxic, March 19-Great interest has
been caused by the announcement
that Princes Hsien-kuei, Hsien-pang
and Hsuien-yuan, three sons of prince
Hsiu Of the former Manchu court in
China. Han Shao-yo and Han Shao-
hsin, two sons Of General Buptchaff,
commander of an Independent troop in
Mongolia, and Han Ching hung, neph-
ew of General Buptchaff have ar
rived in Toxic to receive education
in Japan.
The visitors have been students at
the high school at Port Arthur and
speak Japanese fiueHItly. Prince Hsien-
kuei, who is twenty-five years old,
commanded a detachment under Cen
eral Buptchaff in Mongolia last year.
Relating his experience in Mongolia,
he said that knowing that his father
would not permit him to go to Mon
golia, he secretely escaped to join the
army of General Buptchaff, who well
coined him cordially and made him a
commander of six thousand men. The
Prince fought against the Chinese
army, but on account Of the inferior
arms, the Monaghan soldiers did not
succeed, although they fought most
valiantly. He stated that general
Buptchaff is still alive and planning
for another opportunity against the
Chinese.
Prince Hsien-kuei said that he and
his friends came to Japan to be edu-
Gated as Japanese "Samurai" and re-
ceive necessary training under the
guidance of the famous General Flu
knShirna

London, March 19.-"Germany' aim
to extend her dominion from Antwerp
to the Indian ocean is by on means
defeated and will not be defeated I'M
til the end Of the war;" said Earl Cur
ION, member OF the British war coun-
house Of lords the other day in reply
to a question by Lord Bryce, former
ambassador to the United States. Lord
CurZon said that while the Turks still
are in possession of 10000 square miles
of territory in Persia, the Russian
troops are barring their further ad-
vance in that country.
Persia was the scene Of trouble soon
after the outbreak Of war. The pop
was engineered by German agents
with a view to furthering Germany's
dream of a dominion from the At
lantic coast to the Indian ocean.
In explaining the state Of things in
the near east, Lord Curzon said that
the prospect of German success in
Persia was best in August last, but
that since then it had greatly lessened
so that now the situation there was
almost satisfactory to the British gov
eminent. To aid the Russians in
clearing out the Turks, Lord Curzon
said ireinforcements are now being
sent from India and that it was hoped
to- restore order there before many
months.
I'VE seem to be in a fair way" con-
tinued Lord Curzon, ito be console
dating the position against the Otto
man power. / cannot say that the sit
uation is altogether free from anxiety
Turkish troops have still to be turned
out from the western portions of Pers-
ia. The southern. part and shores OF
the hinterland of the Persian gulf are
still in a state of disorder, and the
trade routes are not yet opened. But
think we may say that the worst is
over and the particular link Persia
has supplied in this great chain Of am
billions has been forcibly twisted
aside, If it has not been broken"
The British successes in Mesopota-
mia would, he believed, have a decided
influence on the whole situation in the
near east.
