Grand Circuit meeting at Belmont
Park to-day. This event was the chief
attraction of the meeting and with

TENNIS MATCHES
THRILL CROWDS
Lieut.. r. Norris Williams, I'd,
Wins Over Throckmorton;
Hard Battles

Forest Hills, N. Y. Aug. 2S.-Play-
ing true to form throughout the
fourth round OF the national patriotlc
singles tournament here yesterday
eastern and western experts In eQual
number won places in the seminar
round. to be contested on the courts
OF the West Side Club to-day. AL
though there was an absence OF the
upsets which marked tine opening
round of the play for the tennis assoc
citation ambulance fund, there was at
least one surprise which startled the
close followers OF lawn tennis.
Craig BiddIe, of Philadelphia, forced
r. Llndley Murray, OF Niagara Falls,
n. Y, to draw on every ounce or his
endurance and skill in order to win
after a grueIling hve-set match. Muir
ray has been favored by many close
followers of the game to win the pres
ent tournament and it was thought
that he would have little difficulty in
disposing of his veteran opponent OF
to-day after his thrilling victory over
w. L. Tilden Jr.. another Phlladel-
phian. in the preceding round.
BIddIe Il Supreme
Biddle surprised and aroused the
gallery of several thousand spectators
to continuous rounds of applause BY
his determined stand against his
younger rival. Playing brilliant yet
steady tennis, in which he showed his
ability to handle and return in the
form OF clever placement shots the
terrific service and Volleys OF Murray.
he repeatedly drove the California
expert TO the limit of his endurance
ard skill to win points. 1t was Muir
rays staying powers that gave him
the victory rather than marked SUI
periority in racquetwork.
The contest between r. Norris Will
liams II, of Boston. and Harold A.
Throckmorton. of Elizabeth. n. j.. was
another flve-set battle OF thrills.
which williams finally won at 6-1. As.
ga. 0-6, 6-S. The thrills came not so
much as a result of the fact that the
players were evenly matched as they
were due to the erratic form shown
by last years titlewinner.-
Williams opened the play with a
wonderful assortment of passing and
cross-court strokes under full COM
mand, but appeared to grow careless
and Indifferent as the match pro-
gressed, taking all kinds of chances
and developing a streak OF wildness
which eliminated in the loss of the
fourth set at love.
Throckmorton. after his winter ses-
sion of play in the Orient. was not an
opponent to be trlfled with, and the
score stood two sets all at the OPEN
ing of the fifth. Here Williams showed
all his former racquet wizardry. win
ming at 6-3, with an exhibition of serv-
ice forehand and backhand drives to
the extreme limits of the court which
left Throckmorton helpless, notwith-
standing his desperate efforts at court
covering.

HITS AND OUTS OF THE GAME
Three straight whitewashes.
Largest crowd of the season.


Three straight whitewashes.
Largest crowd of the season.
There may be better fielding first
basemen among the amateurs in Har-
risburg than Putty" Lynch, but they
are scarce. The former Tech, Central
and Academy star has gone through
the entire Allison Hill series without
one error. 10 10" may be a little
awkward in smothering the ball, but
none got away from him this season.
Wertz got the applause of the crowd
when he raced in back of second and
made a one-hand shoestrinE catch of
Captain Shickley's line drive. Pete
bawled out the Reading player for
rcbbing him of another hit
Klerner was again in the game, al
though suffering from his injury re-
ceived Monday night. He made the
ntftiest stop of the game at short.
George Levan walked six times in
the series. which is quite a record
when 1t is considered that the Read
ing team was at bat in only twelve
innings. George is a good waiter.
"Benney" Kline had his right thumb
knocked out of Joint in the last round
and retired In favor of Lescure.
Platt was late reaching the field
and Wertz pitched the first Inning.
The Reading crowd will have a tro-
ply cabinet made for the cup, and
hope to land others in the future.
The Reading management is out
with a che 'lenge to the West End
team for a series of games for the
city championship. Allison Hill fans
are sure that with Wertz in the box
and Kline back of the bat, their team
will win the city series. Kline is back
stopper for both aggregations.
The winers held the losers to ten
hits and no runs in the three games
Johnson hit for the Stanley team in
each of his two contests.
Lescure was the best sticker of the
series with a hit in each of the sec
ond and third games, while in the
first one he batted out two.

FAVORS PLANS
FOR CITY SERIES
Manager Charles J. House
holder, of West End, Will
ing to Meet P. & R. Team

Manager Charles ]. Householder of
he West End A. A. team is willing to
play a championship series with the
Reading Railway team. The latter
last evening won the Allison Hill
championship and Immediately chal-
leEged the West End team for a series
for city honors. If contests are ar
ranged midweek games will be nee
essary. This may interfere with a
complete series, as West End players,
it is feared, will not be able to get
away from work to play twilight
games.
At present. Manager Householder s
team is playing an elimination series
with local teams. There are yet a
number of games to be played. If a
series with Reading can be played
out with Saturday games the upper
end leader is willing to take up plans
at once.
Big Festival Tonight
On Saturday West End will play
Rosewood A. c. The latter gave the
pacemakers a hard chase some time
ago and on Saturday will have their
regular lineup in the field. The gaml
starts at o'clock and preparations
have been made for a large crowd.
Tonight and tomorrow night the
annual festival of the West End team
will be held at Fourth and Seneca
streets. Arrangements have been
made to rope Off the street and there
will be dancing and many interesting
features. Music will be furnished by
an orchestra. Special attention has
been given to decorations and illu-
| mination.

A curiosity to time a Jack rabbit

National, was on his way to Kansas
City, and as the road was good, was

chose the same route. Haafe thought
it would be joke to make the rabbit
take q siding. and ran his speedonieter
up to within so per cent of it's adver-
tised ability. But having chosen east
as his general direction and that par
ticular road as his route, the rabbit
continued to plod along alta little bet
ter than so miles an hour. s3
The rabbit did not turn out, but q
portion Of the pursuing car did. After
he had crawled out of ditch and
twisted himself Into shape, Haafe
caught a car into Topeka. where he
