League Leaders
 Both Lose Ground

New York, July 29-The leading team in each of the major leagues lost ground last week. The Chicago Ma tionals broke even in six games while New York, in second place, won five of its seven games. The Boston Ameri- cans won three and lost two but Cleveland and Washington, second and third, resectively, lost none of their games, the Indians winning three and the Senators five. Washington lost to St. Louis yesterday after win ming seven straight games.
 In the National League Chicago lost last Sunday to Brooklyn, making it four straight for the Suerbas. Pask- ert's home run beat Philadelphia Wednesday, and heavy batting mark ed Thursdays double header, which was divided. Vaughn beat Boston Saturday.
 New York gained on the Cubs by taking five games out of six from St. Louis, twice capturing double head CTS. Pittsburgh defeated New York Saturday.
 In the American League Boston registered two shutout victories over Detroit Monday, Bush holding the Tigers to five hits in 10 innings and Mays yielding four hits. Gandirs bat ting aided Chicago in winning from the Red sox Thursday and Cicotte's steady pitching accounted for Fri | days victory. Boston won Saturday by a seventh inning rally. Yesterday | Boston was blanked by Russell.

NILES AND FELL
 LOSE AT TENNIS

Beals c. Wright and Frederick B. Alexander defeated Nathaniel W. Niles and Theodore Roosevelt Pell in the final match of the lawn tennis doubles on the turf courts of the Field club of Greenwich yesterday. It was a rousing battle all the way and the score was 1-6, 7-5, 6-S.
 Niles, the famous veteran of Har- yard and the Longwood Cricket club was the hero of the first set. He provided all the skyrocket shots. Niles had an intimate acquaintance with the game as Beals Wright played it. so that he cut into Wright's cross courts and volleys in a way that made the first set almost a procession for Niles and Pell.
 The second set started with a splen- didIy sustained assault for the net by Niles and Pell. Niles was still able to keep to his finely timed shots that made his racquet work stand out as extraordinary, and in the rallies he was almost invincible. Wright and Alexander from their side of the net began to Lombard Pell with their shots, so that before the set had closed they carried the tally to games all. Brilliant cross fire shots played at the sharpest of angles enlivened the closing games of the set, which the former national champions won al 7-5.
 Niles plainly showed that he had shot his bolt as the pairs started the third and deciding set. He no longer brought off his amazing recoveries and blocking shots. Wright and Alex ander worked away with great steadi- ness in the rallies, always finding the openings to carry the set and match with the loss of only three games Elon H. Hooker acted as umpire oi the match.
 There also were a number of mixed doubles contests in which Miss Molia Bjurstedt, Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Marion Zinderstein and others took part.

SPEED IN BASEBALL

Although the Atlanta Mobile game played in Atlanta in 1910, lasting 92 minutes, constitutes record for a full nine-inntng contest that will probably never be equalled, there have been several other notable examples of speed in playing. The double header record was set up just 1s years ago tomorrow, on July 30, 1905, when Los Angeles and Oakland hustled through with two games in one hour and 3S 1-2 minutes the first game lasting AT 1-2 minutes and the second 51 minutes,
 While the fans have no general de- sire to see these records emulated, it Is useful to recall them in showing what can be accomplished. In the major leagues and most of the minors there are very frequently games which are dragged out intermina bly, sHhpiy because the players make not the slightest effort to hustle matters. The average fan would doubtless -ob- ject to very brief games as a usual diet, as not giving him his moneys worth, but he is inclined to think that a n1ne-lnning pastime which goes much over an hour and a half is too much. When it comes to eating up time, the pitcher can be the cham pion gourmand, and not a few of them seem to take pains to hold mat ters up until they are reminded by the fans te "play ball"

FINE TENNIS AT SEASIDE PARK BY
 SOLDIER TEAMS
Several Very Close and In teresting Matches-Play-
 CTS Evenly Matched.

Lieutenant Lemlein and Private Hennesy are making splendid prog ress in the tennis tournament, run by the Y. M. c. A, in which each of the companies, c, D and F as well as the medical corps which is camped at Seaside park have entered a team of two men. The first match was won by Sergeant Beals and Private We'll enman who defeated Capt. Albright and Private Renaut of the medical department
 Friday afternoon the representa- tives of Company c who have defeat ed the medical department clashed with the representatives of D, Lieut.. Lemlein and Private Hennessy. .Ldeut. Lemlein. played Private Weilenman, Sergeant Beals playink Private Hen messy. Strange enough the teams were so evenly matched that of the first two sets each played each team won set so that the third set had to be played in both cases to get the decision and when the decision was rendered victory stood to both teams. The battle had ragged so long it was impossible to play the doubles which was to decide which would lleLNO IhO AASAAI IO p4o5 NOlA4pohy T 1OA the team company championship of the camp. Saturday another big bat tie occurred in the doubles, showing again how evenly matched the two teams were. After a fierce battle. however, in which Lieut.. Lemlein and Private Hennessy won the score was rendered 6---2 2---6, 11---9. Just as with the doubles it was a great match.
 The second round also began in the open tournament for the champion ship of the camp in which the con- !testants are simply trying for the championship and not representing any particular company. Private Friend defeated Private Vance at 6---2, 6---3. Sergeant Andrews de- feated Private Prescott at love, 6---2. Capt. Albright of the medical department defeated Private Klug at 6 love, love. Private Bell defeated Private Thursby at 64, O---6, 7---5 This shows how evenly matched these players were. Private Ostrimeyer de- feated Private Peterson at 6---3, 6---1. One match was also played in the doubles, Privates Friend and Camp bell defeating Privates Tompson and Fairman at 6---1, 6---1.
 A great deal of interest has been stirred up over this tournament and there are a lot of splendid players among the 300. men encamped at the park Those who saw the matches realized that with some of the men not even having a racket in their hands for two or three years the fine style in which they played indicated that there would be some very fast
 matches if they could be left here a
 couple of weeks to round into form. A fine fight will take place when Lieut.. Rald and Sergeant Andrews of
 Company F try to stop the. progress of Lieut.. Lemlein and Private Hen messy. This match also is the last of the company team matches and will decide which company's team will win
 the championship of the camp. This
 match will probably be played off on
 the Y. M c. A. courts at the foot of
 South Main street at 2 o'clock Mon
 day afternoon.

FiStic History
DEAF BURKES DEFT,

It was on this date in the year 1898 that Deaf Burke, after his visit to America, issued from London a chal- lenge to English bruisers, in which he wrote: T bar neither country nor color, age nor dimensions; and wheth- CT it be the Goliath Caunt, or his hardy antagonist, Bendigo, or any oth- CT man who ever wore a head, I am his customer and no mistake. My money is ready at 8 moments notice. If I find the race of old English box CTS of the right kidney is extinct, I shall go back to America where an honest man need never want friend or a battle." Bendigo accepted this def, and, much to everybody's sur prise, defeated the Deaf 'Un. Poor Burke never returned to America where he had been honored as a hero in New York and chased out of New Orleans because he had shown himself a better man than O'Rourke the Crescent City pet. Not long af- ter he lost his title Burke became i'll and soon afterward died of tuberculo- sis. His challenge was not mere vaingiory, for Burke was always will ing to fight for money, love or a | bellyfuil."

RAIN HALTS TANKS
 CAME IN TENTH
Score Tied at 2-2 When Game is Called-Finneran
 Suspended by Umpire.

Cleveland, July 29-Another game slipped away from the Yankees yes ,terday afternoon at a time when It bore all the marks of a New York victory. It was not exactly a defeat, 1t was rain that ended the contest in the tenth with the score tied but the Yankees saw a prospective shutout turned into no decision battle after two were out in the eighth inning, The Indians did not get a runner to third base up to the eighth and then Joe Wood, who has been houndins the Tanks all season, singled to right with two down and two on bases The game ended with the score 2 to ?.
 Wood had a chance to add more lustre to his name in the tenth as Iris Speaker was on third base with two down when Smoky Joe toed the plate. Dark clouds were hanging over the park, lightning was flashing across the sky and 1t was evident that storm was about to break. Joe took his third swing at the ball just as the shower broke and within five minutes it became certainty that baseball was off for the afternoon The infeld was under water when the first game was called and the second postponed a half hour later.
 Finnernan Suspended.
 Joe Finneran was slated to do the pitching for the Yankees and was taking his warm up exercises wher
 
 had been suspended indefinitely fol his trouble in Saturdays game. Ra, Caldwell, who had done no pitchine for some time because of the pressing need of another outfieIder, drew the assignment which had been Ffnner. ans. Ray pitched one of his best games of the year, but the inability of the Yankees to take advantage ot scoring opportunities made his good work useless.
 Four times after the first inning when two runs were presented to the Tanks, some fine opportunities slip. ped away. Peck opened the second with a double, but there was no SCOT. ing.
 In the sixth the first two batsmer to face Coombs got on the bases, but Bodie, Peck and Hannah could not as much as advance either runner In the seventh the Tanks filled the corners with none out. only to have Baker, Pratt and Hyatt fall down anc not a run was scored. Baker had 2 l chance to win the game in the nintl when he came up with Lamar or | second and two out but he flied tc Carney.
 Fred Coombs allowed the Tanks si1 scattered hits yesterday after reliev. ing Morton with none out in the frs inning. Two poor throws by Morton resulted in his punishment. The only runs scored by the Tanks were car, 1 rted over by the two runners whom Morton left on the bases.

COLONIALS BEAT
 MURLINS 10 Chief Bender in Fine Form Holds Eastern Leaguers to Five Hits.

New Haven July 29-With Chief Bender pitching in wonderful form and the entire team playing brilliant ball behind him, the Colonials took the second game of the series from the Murlins at Lighthouse Point yes- terday afternoon, the score standing 1 to at the end of the afternoon pastime.
 Honors for the day went to the lanky Indian who twirled in the manner that brought him fame and fortune in the days when he was During the nine innings only thirty of the -Murlins faced him, ten going back to the bench by the strike-out route and only five touching him for safe hits. He also scored the only run of the game, when in the sixth he drove out a pretty single, went to second on Bowen's sacrifice, to third on Hanlons, hit, and crossed the plate on Gleason's fly to center field.
 But brilliant as the mighty Red skins work was, 1t could not entirely outshine the playing of the other par ticipants. Frank Woodward, hurling for the ex-Eastern leaguers, pitched 8 masterly game, allowing only foul hits, and holding the Colonials safe in every stanza except the sixth. The work of both teams in the field was also deserving of comment, and out side of Torphy letting Bender: grounder get past him in the third inning, both sides put up an article of ball that could not be criticised.
 The New Haven lineup was abou the same as that used the previous week the only stranger being Clab' by, who guarded right field. The Colonials' makeup was considerably changed, Gleason, former Pittsburgh star, being at second, Bowen playine center field, Durgin- at first, Lavines in left field, Flaherty behind the bat and Bender pitching. The changes ir the latter team, however, seemed ti work wonders in their play. and wa: a big improvement over last week: performance.
 It had been Manager Weiss inten tion to use both Shotten and Gainor the two big league stars who are sta toned at the Boston Navy Yard, bu neither was able to get leave.
