battle. and as the Nationals failed

broke against him. Matty pitched
| good bail, and only errors by his
team mates paved the way for the
tallies of the visitors.
Two were rung up by the Browns
in the sixth inning. when George Sis
Ter singled to center and went to
third on Demmitt's double. Hendryx
popped out. but Gedeon singled to
right and both tallies counted when
Matteson heaved over Judges head

midway sack on Lavan's miscue. To-
bin advanced the runners with a sac

out. giving the Browns their trio of
-tallies while the Nationals gathered
nothing.
Wright was the entire puzzle for
zthe Nationals as he only weakened In
the lucky frame when Foster and

THE SECOND GAME.

Jimmy Burke appeared to be
hustling for championship honors
after the first game as he hustled
Dixie Sothoron back in the second
game against the locals. Between
a shine ball and Dixie's camounage
splitter the Brownie hurler had the
Nationals guessing as only fve safe
whacks were obtained of his deliv-
cry during the nine frames.
The Brownies started early, Hen
dryx tripled in the second inning
and scored when Jimmy Austin was
drawing a free pass. 1t was at this
interval that Umpire Tommy Con-
molly went blind as he allowed Tim
to count at the dish when Jimy Aus
tin interfered with Ainsmith In
gathering in a passed ball.
Tommy was somewhere in the
skies as Austin swung his bat and
placed it in front Of Ainsmith, kill
ing off his chances to stop Hen
dryx. Jimmy not only threw his bat
but stepped all the way from the
left handed batting box across the
plate into the righ handed box. but

This one run did not win for the
Brownies, as Doc Ayers got himself
in bad in the eighth when Sothoron's
hit to right field was sandwiched
in between two bases on balls. Maisel
hoisted out, but George Sisler was the
hero from the Brownies end, as he

YELLOW PEARL HAS
CHANCE IN TOURNEY

Under existing conditions. the
entry for the war benefit champion
ships to be staged by the United
States National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation at Forest Hills the week of
August 26. is surprisingly strong
and well-balanced. Not only Is IL
representative of the best tennis
ability by the current tournament
records, but II Is also broadly rep
resentAtive Of the game through
out the country.
The most interesting and unusual
aspect of the tournament is the
probable outcome so far as Ichyia
Kumagae is concerned. for the lit
tie Japanese must be considered to
have good chance for the cham
pionship. Several Americans have
entered who are thought to be
qualified to take his measure on
the court. but the fact remains that
Kumagae has improved over 1915
when he was ranked number five,
and Is playing brilliant tennis. His
fellow countryman. Seiichiro Kas-
hio. also Is entered and their play
ing will provide an unusual fea-
ture for the gallery.

'Oger 100000 Worth Of
Stakes Slated for
Pimlico.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 17.-Accord-
ing to the program just announced
by the Maryland Jockey Club. Of
Baltimore. for the coming Novem-
ber race meeting at picturesque old
Pimlico track. slO5.OOo will be dis
tributed among the horsemen
whose thoroughbreds compete for
the stake and purse events offered
from day to day. This will be an
average Of nearly $4,000 day for
IL days.
No more generous program has
been advertised by an American
race track in the past 20 years. The
total amount to be distributed in
stakes will be $4,000; the gross
sum to be hung up in overnight
races $4,000. No overnight race
will have a smaller value in added
money than $1,000. The most val
liable of the Pimlico fixtures to be
renewed will be the Bowie cup.
SIC, 900 added, one mile and a half;
the Manly Memorial steeplechase

next spring.
for 3-year-olds and 1t will be the
only such chase of high value de-
cided anywhere in the East In the
autumn. Because of the participa-
tion in the great war of so many
members of the Piping Rock Asso-
citation there will be no Locust VAL
ley meeting this year. and. conse-
quently, no renewal of the $4,000
Harbor Hill steeplechase for 3-year-
olds. However. it is a safe gamble
that there will be plenty of smart
young fencers for the Elkridge.
There are upwards of a hundred g.
year-olds Of good breeding and fair
class schooling for steeplechasing
in various parts of the country and
the best OF these will be pointed
for the Elkridge.
As in the past the Maryland
Jockey Club will pay particular at
tention to steeplechasing this COM
ing fall. it being their purpose to
provide at least one cross country
event each day. The cleverest
fencers developed through the sea-
son of 1917 took part in Pimlico
steeplechasing last fall and the
Manly Memorial. which was won by
Captain Joseph E. Davis Texas
bred fencer. Brooks, was easily the
best cross country event of the
year.
