M0LLA BJURSTEDT
RETAINS HER TITLE
Defeats Miss Goss in Straight
Tennis Sets in Woman's
National Tourney.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June "a
Miss Molla Bjurstedt retained the
woman's tennis championship Of the
United States by defeating Miss
Eleanor Goss of the West Side Tennis
Club, New York, today in the chal-
lenge round of the woman's national
tennis tournament at the Philadel-
phia Cricket Club. The score was
Ga. 6-3. Miss Bjurstedt first won
the title in 1915, shortly after she
came to this country from Norway,
and has successfully defended 1t each
year since then.
Mrs. George w. Wightman and Irv-
ing c. Wright of Boston won the
mixed doubles championship by de-
feating Miss Bjurstedt and F. B. A.
Alexander of New York in the final
round. for the title, 6-3. Ga.
The match between Miss Bjurstedt
and Miss Goss was one of the short
est on record in a national tourna-
teen minutes to play and the second
only fifteen. A gallant, but futile. ef-
fort by Miss Goss to pull out a victory
in the first set, when the score stood
five games to ono against her, was the
outstanding feature of the mate. She
out Miss Bjurstedt in two
of them. But the furious pace she set
during this burst Of fast play ap-
parently Slapped her strength, and she
was at the mercy Of the champion in
the next set, when Miss Bjurstedt
seemed SO confident Of victory that
she relaxed on her service.

PLANS TOF|N|SH
PRESENT SEASON
National League to Go On
Even if Use of Amateurs Is
Necessary Says HeydIer.
WANTS GAME KEPT ALIVE


the National League would COM
plete the present seasons play
ing schedule even though it be-
came necessary to draft ANA
teurs to fill the depleted ranks
of the various clubs was the as
sertion made today by Secre-
tary John A. Heydler, speaking
officially for the senior base
ball organization of the couu-
try. Secretary Heydler stated
that despite handicaps caused
by the draft the owners were a
unit in the opinion that there
was no reason for either can
ceiling or curtailing the schedule.
The uncertainty prevailing at
the present regarding the effect
of the essential work or fight"
regulation in its application to
base ball players is, however, a
disturbing influence upon the
organization. This uncertainty
is causing unrest among the
many players between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty-one,
with the result that they are
seeking essential war work of
their own initiative, which &C
ton might be unnecessary under
the final ruling. When the situa-
ton clears in this respect the
position of the National League
clubs will be more satisfactory,
according to the statement of
Secretary Heydler, which fol-
lows:
Next Month Is Vital.
1.-The next month will have a vital
bearing in determining the immediate
future Of professional base ball Even
tually, we believe. the game, with its
fixed public status as the national out
door recreation. will be considered az
important to the entertainment of the
men in our Army and fleet and the
general public as is any other amuse-
ment enterprise, and that consequent
| ly the players participating in such
entertainment will be rated essential.
Before final appeal of a specific
| players case can be acted on, how
ever, the harm will be done The per.
! sonnet Of our clubs, already depleted
by a high percentage of volunteer en-
| listments, by the draft and by enroll
! ing for war work, will be further cut
| by enlistments and by players in de-
| ferred classifications entering essen
tiaI employments.
ION the number of the last-named
losses will depend the remaining COM
petitive strength of our clubs and
their ability to go on.
There is no question that every
effort will be put forth to keep the
game alive, despite the. present un-
| favorable outlook.
May Use Amateur Players.
"All other fields being restricted. we
will necessarily seek the highest type
| of young amateurs to fill the vacancies
and will depend on local pride and
tolerance Of the public during the
process Of developing such playing
talent.
1--WE feel confident that. with CO.
operation on the part of all inter-
ested in the maintenance Of the game.
we will play out the championship

DESERVES BETTER FATE
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Going
Into the final frame with the
Yanks in the van by a margin
of S to 1, the Nationals made a
mighty effort to catch up and
save the bacon for "Old Uncle
Nick" Altrock, but after they
had blasted two tallies over the
pan and had the tying runs on
the base lines their rally was
ended abruptly when Milan, the
most reliable sticksmith in the
outfit, topped drive to Cald-
we'll and was snuffed at the
initial station for the twenty
seventh putout of the en-
counter. Yanks, S; Griffs, 3.
Nick deserved better fate than the
one that befell him on the occasion of
his third start of the season. The old
timer was hit hard, tits true, but Ray
Caldwell. another veteran, who was
serving them up for the Yanks, was
walloped even more Justify, and with
a better break in the luck the Cribs
would have registered twice as often
as they did. Nick allowed only seven
hits all told, whereas Caldwell was
touched up for total of eleven safe
drives, two of them being punched
twice and three on two other different
occasions. It seemed only a question
of time until the Nationals would
chase Caldwell to cover, as he started
poorly and finished ditto. although
strong for four frames in the middle
of the tusSle.
