JUDGE MILLER LOSES IN TENNIS MATCH
H. O. Gish is Victor in
 Two Straight Sets.

H. o. Gish lowered the colors of ment now going on in the Y. M. c. A. Tennis club, yesterday afternoon, to the score of 8---6, 6---2. The score in- dicates the fine battle the Judge put up, but it seemed to be Gish's day and he insisted pushing right straight through to victory. This puts Gish in the finals. Today Gerald Lineburgh and Dr. McFetridge battle for the | privilege of meeting A. D. Moulton in the semi-finals in class c. The win ner of the match today. plays MT. Mpulton tomorrow, the winner playing MT. Gish Friday for the championship l in Class c of the Y. M. c. A. Tennis club. > | While this match was being played, on an adjoining court, -Dr. George c. l Brown was having a close fight witE R. M. Hennick. They were evenly matched because of which the match had to go to three sets. The first was won at 6---2, by Dr. Brown, the next at 6---2 by MT. Hennick, Dr. Brown pulling himself together and winning at 6---1 in the deciding set This match as well as the one between Judge Miller and Gish, were well ral- anced, all four men playing good ten his and fighting every inch of the way.
 On the other court at Colorado ave- nue, Bradley, of the U. s. Navy, was matched against W. S. Lacy. The latter was able to win this match at 6---1, GO. The score does not ac- tually indicate how close the match was. Lacy was fortunate in winning most of the games so that the set score looks more in his favor than the match really was. A great proportion of the games went to deuce before
 Lacy was able to annex the game tc his score. Bradley plays fine tennis
 and is really a coming player if h. gives the game attention.

BEALS WINS IN
 SOLDIERS TENNIS
Defeats Captain Albright in Two Out of Three
 Sets.

Sgt. Beals was yesterday crowned tennis champion in singles of the sol diers encamped at Seaside park. He defeated Capt. Albright at the head of the medical department in very close hard fought battle at 3---6, S---6 6---1. Capt. Albright won the first set very handily and as the score indi- cates there was a terrific battle for the seoOnd set. But the 10 or 15 years advantage which Sgt. BeaIs had over the Captain told in the last set in which he was able to come off victor winning the set, tournament and championship of Companies c, D, F, and the Medical Department. There was fine tennis all the way through this tournament, the only disappoint- ment being that Sgt. Andrews was
 compelled to default because of ! bruise he sustained on the bone of the middle finger on his right hand. Two years ago Sgt. Andrews reached the fourth round in the tournament for the national clay court champion ship of America. He was eliminated in this round by "Connie"~ Doyle of Washington who eventually reached the finals and was eventually beaten by Willis Davis, the great player from California It would have been very | interesting to have seen a match be- l tween Sgt. Andrews and Sgt. Beals,
 but there is no question but that Sgt.
 Beals won the championship by con- sistent high grade play in every match of which his ability was very 1 impressive.

Wheat Hits Safely
 In Twenty-Five Games

In the cold, black type of the rec ords, Jack Coombs will be charged with the loss of a ball game to the Chicago Cubs, and the score will be noted at to 3. Such is the injustice of mere records, for the contributing causes to the defeat of the Colby veteran will be omitted. Those who gathered at Ebbets Field yesterday, however, will attest the fact that the grand old twirler deserved a better fate. However. the Cubs found lit tie fault, for they kept pace with the Giants, who downed the Reds on the Polo Grounds.
 There was a need of consolation for the visitors, too. The great Buck Wheat, best left fielder in the Ma tional League, got his daily hit, run ming his streak through twenty five games and hanging up a new seasons s record for organized baseball. Buck believes that he has a chance to equal or break. Ty Cobb's mark of forty two straight games.
 "I have as much chance to make | the rest of them as I had to make these twenty-five" said Buck yester- i day. I'm going to try to get them and that you may tell the world fair
 The Robins played bad baseball behind Coombs. The Cubs got a cou. pie of runs that never should have been theirs. Mack Wheat, playing centre field in place of Hi Myers who is done up with the heat, allowed q blow by Mann to get by him for 2 l homer. Ivan Olson, made an atro cious throw following which two run. battered over. So 1t went.

GIANTS RALLY IN
 NINTH AND WIN
Reds Go Down to Defeat Before Steele -Zim and
 Magee Out of Line up.

New York, Aug. 7-Pete Compton unbuckled a hit in the ninth inning of yesterdays soiree at the Polo Grounds with Matty's Reds, and push ed Art Fletcher over the plate with the run which mashed up the to 5 tie and gave the Giants the game, i to 3.
 The familiar piece of Polo Ground scenery, Lee Magee was missing from the Reds lineup. As result of Lees one-round bout with Earl Neale in Brooklyn on Monday. Magee's face looks as If 1t had been gently but firmly pushed into an electric fan, Heinie Zimmerman was also missing from the Giants. It seems the heat almost melted Heinie on Monday, SD the doctor told him to keep out of the sun.
 While the heat wasn't extrems enough to kill off the Giants yester- day new kind of jinx loomed up !n l the third inning and gave the Reds a couple of runs. This jinx was ] black cat which walked out onto the i field. A black cat has just about i the same relation to good luck as ! match has to gun powder. Boh Steele was holding the Reds in sub jection when the cat appeared. Il was as black as a williams heart. Next to poker players, ball tossers are the most superstitious people in tn: | world so as soon as the cat came ou i the Giants knew right then ant there that Matty's Reds were going to start something.
 Steele saw the cat and immediatel! gave Groh 8 walk. Steele could set the cat, but couldn't see the plate Neale got an infield hit and RousI sacrificed the runners along a peg Chase's sacrifice scored Groh anC Sherwood Magee singled to short ant scored Neale.
 In the fifth, the Reds got anothe! run, without the mystic assistance of black cat Eddie Roush's blacl bat gave them this run. Groh sin gled to left. Neale popped to Sick ing and the new third baseman mad a wild peg to first to get Groh nap ping, so Heinie went to second Roush's single to right sent Gro! home.
 The Giants tied it up in the fftl when Cincinnati's Cuban short stop Cueto, aided them considerably with wild throw. Compton reached Jim my Ring for a single, and Kirke dit likewise. Sicking walked and f1lle' the bases with no one out. McCar ty forced Sicking at second, Comp ton scoring. Steele rolled an eas grasser to Cueto, who threw the bal to the field boxes back of first base kirke and McCarty rushing home.
 Ring had been fooling the Giant throughout the game with a sloI ball, but the Giants got well aC ouainted with it in the ninth. Fletch CT opened the final session of tn game with a safe slap to left, an Doyle pickled one of Rings slowes shoots to the right field wall for tw bases. Fletcher stopping at third. was then that Compton really quail | field as a member of the Giants wit his timely hit to left centre, whic coaxed Fletcher home with the vic . tory,

TANKS LOSE IN
 OVERTIME GAME
White Sox Score Winning Run in Fifteenth and Cap
 ture Game 5-4.

Chicago, Aug. 7.---After trailing the White sox for eight innings yester- day afternoon the Yankees spurted in the ninth and tied the score at 4 all. But the Sox won in the fifteenth by , to 4.
 After the ninth there was nip and tuck struggle for the run needed to win. Several times the Yankees ap- peared to be on the verge of gather ing the coveted tally, but the lack of a hase hit off old Jack Quinn at the proper time caused the chances of the Huggins athletes to go glimmer1ng. The Sox were also having their trou7 ble in getting hits together off Mo- gridge, who went to the mound in the ninth, and it was not till the f1f- teenth frame when the pitcher threw away his own game that Chicago got the desired run and won the game by to 4.
 Eddie Collins started the trouble in the fifteenth inning with single to left. Gandil, in an attempt to saeri- flee, bunted to Mogridge, who in his haste to get Collins at second threw over Peckinpaugh's head. Thereupon the feet-footed Collins scampered to third and Gandil legged it to second.
 John Collins then thumped a long, hard fly to Lamor and Ed Collins gall loped home with the winning run.
 It fell to the lot of Quinn. former Yankee moundsman, for whose ser- vices Huggins and Rowland are in dispute. to defeat his former team mates, He held t11en11to three scat tered hits in the six innings he was on the mound and they had little chance to get a man around the paths.
 The Sox got big early lead, SCOT ing three runs before the Yankees got anything that looked like tally. The sox got run in the second on Gan dirs pass, J. Oollins's sacrifice and Risberg's single.
 Another came in the third on in- field hits by Goode and Leibold, B. | Collins sacrifice and GandtPs sacri- flee fly. In the fifth Hummers muir, Leibolds single and E. Collinss single yielded another tally.
 The Yankees got their 1rst run In the sixth on Gi1hooley's pass, an out at first on which Gilhooley advanced to second and Bakers single.
 The Sox made another in the sixth on Peck's low throw to first, McMul= 1in's pass and Schalk's single. The Yankees gathered another in the sew enth on Hummers triple and Han nah's double. The eighth was runless but in the ninth the Yankees tied the score with a couple of hits, aided eJ an error.
