CARMAN WINS
5O-MILE GRIND
Former American Champ
Rides Great Race-After
World Motorpaced Title
ANDERSON IN SHAPE
BN PAUL PREP

Watch Clarence German in the worlds
championship motor laced race. This is
the tip that is being passed around this
town today as a result of carman's
wonderful riding last evening 1T ,ne
Point Breeze Motordrome. Carman rode
a mastery race and romped off with all
honors in the fifty-mile motor paced race
from Paul Sutter and Menus Bedeli.
This victory marks the second of the
season for Carman.
Carman has his optics or something
glued on the worlds titular race of
fifty miles which Manager Jack Roden
will stage at Point Breeze Motordrome
the latter part of this month. He has
double reason. In 1910, paced by the
Peerless Jimmy Hunter, he won the
worlds title. Last season, however.
Percy Lawrence scored a notable VIC
,ory. Carman is out to regain his title.
The second reason is this: Carman
now is in the navy as a tirst-class ma
chinist's mate in the aviation corps. AT
Cresent he is on a furlough recuperating
rom a broken collar bone. The tituar
race Tor tne "OfIu : tllle may bt MS
final until the Kaiser is licked, so he is
anxious to go into action as the world s
champion.
Last evening Carman, paced by Jimmy
Hunter, rode i'll the same form which
carried him to the worlds title in 1915.
He pedaled in mastery style and didn't
break with Jimmy once during the entire
fifty miles. He was in fine physical con-
dition due to his recent ssjourn at Port
Indian. Pa. where lie devoted hours TO
hillc!imbing and rowing.
The race last evening was one of the
most interesting Of the season. The
ciuhmen and their friends were kept on
their toes all the time and ii WASH
until the final mile that Carman was as
sured of victory, Paul Sutter. piloted
! by Norman. Anderson, started a sprint
that almost carried them out in front
but it fell short.
As 1t was. Norman Anderson almost
scored a win. In fact, he came nearer
registering IA triumph Than he has in
! two months. \ fiat tire, which Sutter
received near the end of the race, pre-
vented him from making a successful
comeback. All season long Anderson
has been troubled with stomach trouble.
His work, as result, has suffered.

TILDEN REACHES
NATIONAL FINAL
Philadelphian Easily De-
feats Kumagae and Will
Play Murray for Title
BOTH in FINE FORM

Forest Hills, n. J., Sept. 3,-The ma
tonal singles tennis championship Of
today lies between w. T. Tilden,
Jr., of Philadelphia, and r. Lindley
Murray, the California expert. playing
for the Niagara Falls Club. Tilden won
the right to face Murray on the courts
of the West Side Club here yesterday by
defeating Ichya Kumagae. the Jap
anese racquet star. in streight sets, tne
scores being 6-2, 6-2. 60.
Tilden's victory over Numasae was
so decisive and lacking Al sensational
tennis as to give the gallery of severaf
thousand spectators little opportunity to
enthuse over the play. The oriental rae
duet wielder was absolutely unable to
hold the tall Philadeiphian in check.
and the latter rushed through three sets
with the loss of only four games in
considerably less than one hour of play
ing time.
The total point score for the three
sets was S3 to AZ in Tilden's favor and
a stroke analysis shows the Japanese
making far more errors and fewer places
ment aces than the victor.
Tilden was seldom forced to call upon
his terrific service and smashing play,
and he devoted most of his offense to
low, sharply cut fore ana Dack hanu
returns, which scaled across the net.
barely clearing the card and boring into
the turf with a spin which seldom
caused them to bound more than a foot
high.
In the face of this puzzling undercut
kumagae was unable to play the ball
at the height which is most favorable
to his looping, Lawford stroke. Num-
erous returns found lodgment in the net
and It was only occasionally that Ku-
magae could get the ball In position for
his backhand or forehand drives along
the side lines.
