Murray Qualities For Tennis Singles
In Hard Fought Battle With Srachan and Murray Play With Utmost Speed and Strength-Winner Will Meet Niles Today For Championship Sports.

Forest Hills. L. l.. Aug. 24.-P1ay ing tennis of the most strenuous Cal iforn1a type, R. Lindley Murray of Niagara Falls. formerly of the Pa cif1c coast, defeated John R. Strachan of San Francisco. 4-6 6-3. 6-3. 6-1 in the semi-final round of the national patriotic singles tournament today The victory gave him the right to meet N. W, Niles of Boston, In the climax of the tournament tomorrow, weather permitting. on the courts of the Wset Side Club here.
 Murray's advance was opposed to the limit of Strachan's ability and en- durance, the loser going down to de- feat after one of the best exhibitions of tennis seen in the present tourney.
 The loser forced Murray to draw upon the last ounce of his vaunted speed the racquet skill and 1t was at these times that the victor showed the full extent of his power of stroke and court covering pace.
 The match, the only one of the days programme to be completed, was played between thunder storms and to the accompaniment of frequent flashes and rain.
 The rain halted the special exhibi- tion between Miss Mol1a Bjurstedt of New York and Miss Mary Browne, of San Francisco. after one set and two games had been played. Miss Blur stedt won the set 6-4. due to her harder and more accurate driving.

A FREAK PLAY,
Pennant Comes With Spiking of Tonna .

An old tomato can, reposing in the far reaches or the outfield, caused a near-rio1 in bush league out west. according to Billy Fox, veteran second basernan, who would up his career in the Western league.
 T was with bush league team some years ago." declares Fox, land we were playing the game that was to decide the pennant Our club had the other team whipped three to two when we started the ninth, and we -breezed along in great shape, getting the first TWO men without any trouble.
 The third batter up was a big guy and a long fly hitter, so the f1elders went back to camp for him. But our left fielder didn't get back far enough.

cIcoTTE> MAIN STAY
 OF CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Eddie Has Jumped Into LimeIight
 Only During Past Season.

If the Chicago White Sox win the American league pennant a big, lib eraI slice of the credit will be due Eddie Cicotte. Whether or not the Sox win Cicotte will have gone into the record book as one of the best and most reliable slabmen of the. 1917 season. Thus far Eddie is the best pitching bet in the Rowlands corps, and unless he cracks before the sea- son ends he will have to be ratc C near the top in his leag
 Quite a bit of glamour attends the ultimate rise of the knuckle ball ar tist to the top of the heap. As has frequently been stated. Cicotte Is 33 years of age. In all his time in the big show Cicotte ranked only as an average big league pitcher prior to this year.
 There is a rather interesting fea- ture connected with Cicotte's career Cicotte once starred on the same club with Ty Cobb and Nap Fucker. Back in 1905 the three were baseball idols down in Augusta, Ga All of the trio found their way to the big leagues It required but a short time for Cobb and Fucker to break into the lime light Tyrus is still running wildly and batting better than any man in the league. and only last season Nap Fucker decided to lay aside his glove and spikes Yet Cicotte is just get ting a taste of real fame as a big league star.

RATING BALL PLAYERS
 NO EASY TASK
The Value of Player to a Team Oft
 en Varies.

Rating the members of a ball club according to their value is a tough problem for any one to tackle. because the value of a player often fluctuates
 There have been several vVid exam pies of this during the present season for number of pastimers who were not expected to shine with particular brIllIancy have come to the front
 The question of who is the most val Gable ball player on a club if applied 10 Detroit, would be simple The an- sWer is Cobb. But whether they be pitchers, catchers, inf1elders or out are few Cobbs or near -Cobbs.
 Take the five leading clubs in the two big leagues this year End apply the elimination tests to individual players. The problem is a brain-twist- CT, to say the least, but it is proba bly, a safe bet that if the matter was left to vote by the fans, the players who would stand out brightest probab would be the following:
 American League: Eddie Cicotte, of Chicago; Babe Ruth, Boston; Ty Cobb Detroit; Iris Speaker, Cleveland and Frank Baker, New York.
 National League: Ferdie Schupp, of New York; Fred Toney Cincinnati; Grover Alexander, Phiilies: Walton Cruise. St Louis, and Jim Vaughn, of Chicago.
 The fact that a winning pitcher al- ways stands out brighter in the lime light than any other player if he is really a star, accounts for the naming of so many pitchers here And the work of the aforementioned pitchers this season has been really wonder full. There are other players on each of the above-named clubs who would come in for a lot of support if, the fans were given a vote.

Pronounced betterment in Russian af fairs. as suggested by the new credit of s1OOO 100000 to hat country, went far to allay the pessimism of recent days.
 All classes of rails participated in the advance, the movement embracing numerous low grade issues, notably Rock Islands, Missouri Pacific, Wheel ing and Lake Erie, Wabash and Kan sas City Southern, at extreme gains of one to four points.

 In the National league Edde Rousih, Renie Zimmerman, Eppe Rixey, Pep Hornsby and Fred Merl1le have proven of great value to their respective clubs. Roush has been a bright star with the Reds; Zimmerman is bidding for rank as the greatest of third base men; Rixey's work on the mound, with that of Great Alex helped keep the Phillies fighting until t1id season, while Hornsby has become an idol in St. Louis,

HARD HITTING PITCHERS
 COMMON IN BIG SHOW
Sbgsing TwirIers Are Many in Ma jor Leagues This Season as Shown by Records.

Pitchers who not only are willing to hit but who can take a crack at a baseball with some of the best of hit Jers, are becoming more frequent in time ago. when pitchers carried a pat to the plate merely because it was done and time at bat had to be there. Now there are eight pitchers in the American league who are bat ting .250 or better. and in the Ma tional league there are 10.
 Babe Ruth. of the Red Sox, is the best sticker of the pitchers in either league, but Dutch Reuther. Cincinnati ii; Walter Johnson. Bob Russell and Ray Caldwell are considered excellent batsmen. Any one of them is likely to be called on to do pinch hitting for CTS, is good hitter. Dick Rudolph of the Braves. never shirks a time al bat. and he has a teammate of the same sort in George Tyler. Sherrod win a game with a hit than by stel- lar pitching performance. Grover Alexander is considered a dangerous batsman. Nearly all the Yankee :gridge and Ray Caldwell perhaps are the best. but Al Russell has outhit both of them this year, Claude Hen dirk. of the Cubs. is respected by pitchers as a hard. long hitter-one who is just as likely to knock a base
 
 gang of the White Sox. although small has plenty of courage at bat and makes his hits. Elmer Myers, of the Athletics, also shines with the bat-when he hits his stride.
 Jack Coombs' hitting is an asset added to his pitching ability. Clarence Mitchell, of the Reds. not only can pitch a good game. but he can out field or play first base and gets his regular safe ones. There are plenty of others-perhaps more of the hit ting kind of pitchers than the game ever knew before.
 It is noted that the so-called "iron men" are conspicuous by their ab- sence this year. Only two pitchers Alexander and Fred Toney-have even qualified for that title. and their rec ords show quantity. not quality. Pete Schneider, of the Reds. has twirled bunch of games. and only a few in the American league appear to be overworked.
