Murray Wins National 7itle
 By Defeating ". I. Tlden, L.

Forest Hills, September s.-The name of R. Lindley Murray was today added to the list of California tennis players who have won national singles cham pionships on turf when he captured the 1918 title by defeating W. T. Tilden Jr.. of Philadelphia in straight sets by scores of 6-3, 6-l, 7-5. Playing in the finsi and championship round the California meteor won the first national tennis championship tournament since 1916 and the only one of the year in the tennis world, in 55 minutes of court battle which proved conclusively that Murray is the ranking American player of the season.
 Following in the footsteps of Maurics E. Mclaughlin, who won in 1912 and 1915 and William M. Johnston, the title hold CT of 1915, Murray showed the same we'll rounded game. His victory was the more remarkable in view of the fact that he had not played serious tournament ten his until about 10 days ago. Tilden, owing to his improvement and greater tournament practice this year, was ex- pected by many followers of the game to prove Murray's master in the struggle

 The tall Philadelphia, despite his viz ardry of cut strokes and court covering ability, was unable to check for any length Of time Murray's march to the championship. Tilden was handicapped by boil in his ankle, which seriously interfered with his footing. Murray did not rely entirely upon his power, to drive the ball like a rifle bullet from one end or the court to another.

In ad- dition Murray always had the reserve of his terrific service.

 While neither of the rival leaders would announce for publication the pitcher selected for the test of the opening game, the Chicago pilot said expected to start ft-hander--either Vaughn or Tyler.
 "Vanghn and Tyler will both warn up" Mitchell said and the one that ap- pears to be in better shape will be selected. Killifer will do the catching so I am certain to have a strong bat, tery.

 ''The best thing I can say is that the Red Sox are ready for a fight and |, of course, feel certain that we shall bag the championship" Barrow said. 'T realize that we are playing won- derful team. The games, I think, will be close. and will arouse more interest than is expected"
 Fred Thomas, former third baseman of the Boston team, was granted two-weeks' furlough from the Great Lakes naval training school today, which will permit his to participate in the worlds series.
 Interest in the series has not proved one-half as great as in former years and there will be no protest that tick cts have fallen into the hands of the scalpers which was the cry last year when the White Sox and Giants clashed.
 The thin line that will form between the ticket window at the American league park tomorrow will be but a ghost of the line that snaked it's way into the park a year ago.

 Complete Records of Past Baseball Classics

New York, September S-Regardless of the outcome of the coming world series, the lead secured in recent years by the American league teams is sufficient to hold the National league in check, though the senoir league standard bearers were to capture the baseball classic in the easiest possible fashion. The clash of 1918 will be the fourteenth under the aus pices of the, national commission and of the 1S series which are now part of dia- mond history the American league stubs have won eight. while five have been the portion of the National.
 The last victory by National league team was the record performance of the Boston players in 1914, when the Braves swept the Philadelphia Athletics before them irr four straight games, which caused the eventual disruption of the fan ota Shibe park baseball machine, Previous to that time the record for the shortest series was held by the Chicago Nationals in 1907. In that year the team. led by Frank Chance, defeated the De- troit Americans, four games to none but the series required five contests, as the opening game resulted in a to 3 tie.

 Babe" Ruth has been in the calcium all season. mostly on account of his hit ting ability, especially in the home run line. Ruth will surely pitch one game and will play the outfield when not in the box.
 Charley Holloeher the young short stoper of the Cubs, is the brightest star in the Chicago constellation. Batting over 300 all season and fielding like a demon the youngster has probably done more than any other man to bring the pennant to MitchelFs outfit

 Murray never appeared to be worried by these remarkable steaks of play on Tilden'S part, and continued to carry out ais plan of campaign as though the out come was never in doubt.
 Murray'8 supremacy was further dem onstrated by the fact that of the zS
