MORGAN UNSTEADY
ON DOYLE'S SIDE

SOUTHAMPTON. L l.. Aug. 23.-
The Anzac tennis team, composed Of
Ronald V. Thomas and Randolph
Lycett. were much better than Dudley
Morgan and Connie Doyle, of Wash
ington, in their match in the Meadow
Club tournament here yesterday. That
is the AnzaCs were better than Nor
gan, who was wildness itself and
prevented Doyle from having a
chance to win. The Washington men
dropped the match by S., 6-4, al
lowing the AnzaCs a chance at the
final.
TiIden and Garland outplayed
Mathey and Murray. winning at 81,
6-3. In singles Charles S Garland
was waiting for the final when Will
lis Davis met Norman T. Brookes
yesterday and watched the Pacific
Coast youngster trim the veteran
AnZac player by 7-9. 81. and IA.
Today Garland meets Davis. while
Lycett and Thomas. engage Garland
and Tilden.
The Washington times., 1919-08-23

Among the notable entries is Will
liam Henri Zay, an Englishman more
than ffty-five years old, who has
played in many OF the important Brit
ish events and also in the north OF
France.
The father-and-son championship
will prove even more attractive than
last year Some remarkable strong
teams are entered, including the Gar
lands Of Pittsburgh. the Murrays OF
Niagara Falls. the Andersons and
DonaIdsons Of Brooklyn, the Biddles
and Hoskins OF Philadelphia, the
Chaplins of Springfield.
Most notable, in q sense, Is the en-
try Of General G. Van VIiet and his
son, Capt. r. c. Van Vliet, District Of
Columbia champion OF 1917, and a
racquet club player of this city. They
play a fine game together and their
friends rather expect them to come
through.
The Washington times., 1919-08-23

Certainly the event will bring out
competition. Of a high order, and on
the season TO date, it is impossible to
pick a winner.
Next in general interest will come
the juniors and boys tournaments
which brings together the winners Of
the tennis championships that have
been held throughout the country.
More than a dozen entries are ex
pected in each class, and singles and
doubles will be played. Some young
sters from the Pacific Coast are al
ready in the East preparing for their
first big test on grass, and the eastern
entries also are tuning up in prepara-
tion for the matches.
The veterans championship has at
tracted a good entry. which includes
names long since made famous on the
courts. Clarence HObard, who won
the doubles titles as far back as 1890,
will take a shot at this championship,
and some later title holders will play.

The series is starting well. Four
unusually strong sandIot teams are
getting together. Not all Of the play
ers are by any means amateurs, and
might better be designated as sand
lotters.
The schedule calls for games that
are sure to be we'll contested through
out. None OF the four clubs can be
considered a weakling. All have
strong pitching corps, capable catch
ers and infielders and outfieIders far
above the ordinary run Of sandIot
performers.
To the winner OF the series The
Washington Times is presenting a big
cup. In addition the victor in the

WHITE SOX COPIED
GHARRITY'S SIGNS
By IRVING VAUGHAN.

CHICAGO. Ill, Aug. 23.-Before
Clark Griffith packed his Senators
aboard a train and departed from Chi
cago last night he had learned some
thing that may prove a help to his
cause in the future. 1t also may be
of considerable benefit to Charity
who, when not engaged in other posi-
tiOns catches for the Washing.
tonians. 1t will be remembered that
when the SoX were in Washington
recently they had quite a job on their
hands trying to win the game in
which Jim Shaw was pitted against
Eddie Cicotte. The Sox won t.
game by l to o after twelve innings
of toll, but the funny part about that
engagement is that the league lead
ers had the signs of Charity
throughout the game. yet they did
not seem able TO get anywhere so far
as scoring runs was concerned.
One OF the primary lessons of base
ball is supposed to be secrecy in the
battery signs. The great Athletic
machine of a few years ago was sup
posed tC have been successful partly
because Mack employed a couple of
wizards who could stand out on the
coaching lines and detect just what
kind Of a ball the opposing pitcher
was about to deliver.
Batter Steps Right In.
The theory is that a batter. know
ing what the pitcher is going to de-
liver. can step in and wallop the I'D
pill into the next county.
Well, the Sox had Gharrity's signs
right from the jump in the game
mentioned, yet they were more or less
helpless. The ChicagOans were able
to get the signs by the movement Of
Gharrity's arm. He held II in one
position for speed, and in another for =
curve. or course. he was giving the
signs with his fingers, but in Jug
Cling the digits he inadvertently moved
his arm and tipped off the enemy.
When this story became public
property Kid Gleason was as sore as
a billy goat on a tin diet. The Sox
pilot wanted it kept secret, so that
he might take advantage of the dis
covery in the future, but now Grif
and the whole world knows it, and
Eddie Charity probably will take
care to amend his catching manners.
The best part Of the yarn is that
even though the Sox had the signs
they couldn't hit, Indicating either
that Shaw certainly had something
on the ball that day or that another
Oad diamond theory is all bunk.
ScrIbcs Planned Grin.
Just as was expected as the result
Of Walter Johnson not pitching
against the Sox, Detroit scribes are
already panning Griffith on the charge
that he is favoring Chicagos pennant
changes. and proved it by keeping
the speed king in the stable during
the series which closed yesterday.
Griff was on the square about it
because Walter really was sick, but
Detroit never will believe it, They
seemed % take it for granted that if
Walter had pitched in Chicago he
would have won, but the records are
conclusive evidence that the great
hurler never has been much of a
stumbling block for the Sox
