AUSTRALIANS WIN
THEIR MATCHES
First Round Tennis Results
Favorably to Invaders.
Lycet Defaults

Forest Hills, N. Y, August 26.-With
one upset and several hard-fought sensa-
tional matches. the initial round of the
thirty-eighth annual singles turf tennis
championships of the United States OPP
ened on the courts of the Westside club
here this afternoon. Australian players
justified reports which preceded them
from England by winning their matches
in decisive fashion. Gerald L. Patter-
son defeated Fred 3. Alexander of New
York, who ranked third among the ma
tional tennis stars of 1918, by scores of
4-6. 3-6, 81, SO. 60.
The veteran Norman E. Brookes, hold
er of the present Davis cup champion
ship, won in straight sets from Walter
Pate of New York, 60, SO, OIL; Randolps
Lycett disposed of Harold Godshall, Los
Angeles, 49, 6-3, 4-s, 60. while R. v.
Thomas disposed of w. P. Compton of
Ashurst, SO, 81, 6-1.
Alexander was the only opponent
against the Antipodeans of today, who
was able to give the invaders from Aus
tralia a real battle. He swept into Pat
terson, holder of the English single cham
pionship, in impressive fashion and for
two sets appeared in the light of WIN
ner. Patterson. however, settled down
to hard play at the beginning of the
third set and taking his stand at the
net smashed or placed with such speed
and accuracy that the New Yorker was
completely baffled. and as the match
wore on lost both his endurance and
ability to hold out with the long rallies
which made the early part of the contest
SO spectacular.
The only other outstanding match on
the grandstand courts resulted in the de-
feat Of s. Howard Vossell of Brooklyn at
the hands of Conrad B. Doyle of Wash
ington. 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, ST. GA.
Champions of former years, including
Maurice e. Mclaughlin, r. Lindley Muir
ray, William E. Johnston and r. Norris
Williams ID, and the two Japanese en-
trants, Ichiya Kumagae and S. Kashio,
all advanced without meeting unusual
opposition.
| Dean Mathely, w M. Washburn, w. j.,
Touissant, w. L. Davis and j. B. AdOue.
Jr., of Dallas were easy winners.
| Two of the Australian stars, Patterson
and Lycett, whose names were drawn In
| the second sixteen, were to oppose each
other tomorrow but Lycett announced
he would default instead of trying to
| eliminate his countryman.

BICYCLE RACES ID
 BE BIGGEST SPORT CARD TOMORROW
Opening of Mammoth Track at East Lake to Bring Hundreds of Bike
 Fans

The bicycle track, which has been un- park for the past two weeks, has been completed and now everything Is in readiness for the Hickman handicap, six-mile race, which Is to be staged nt the municipal resort Thursday after noon, dedicating the new course, which the city hns gone to considerable ex- pense to build.
 Bob Stubbs. veteran motorcycle race man, has been in charge of the con struction work on the new course, which circles the lake, and MT. Stubbs stated Tuesday night that the new track was dandy.
 Much interest has been evidenced in bike racing this year and over 5000 fans saw the early spring road race, This number may be doubled at East Lake Thursday afternoon as the fact that the course is built round the lake gives everyone the opportunity of fol- lowing the movements of the contest ants from start to finish and this has always been impossible in road races.
 The Hickman Cycle company is stag Ing the events ana Fed Hickman, WhO is in charge, announces that many valuable prizes will be given to those fortunate enough to finish in the money. Some of the best riders in Birmingham have already entered the grind and the chances are that some of the best bike speeding ever seen in the Magic City will be served rac- ing fans wherf the starters pistol sends the men on their way.
 Hugh Hill, manager of the municipal resort, announces that other races are to follow this big event during the summer.

 The Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers after a flying start are now on the soapy shute and have lost their last six games. Even ! Jeff Pfeffer is beaten every time he comes out now.
 Watch the Cubs climb. We cant take the Reds very seriously but we do ex- pect to see those Bruins around the top when autumn rolls around. Apparently Cholly Frank has good grounds for protesting that game in which the Crackers were beaten to by Memphis yesterday. At the beginning of the season President Martin stated to all clubs that the "quick return" or pitched
 ball that finds the batter out of his box should not be counted a strike. Umpire Lauzon called Herndon out on just such a ball yesterday and the game may yet be thrown out, though very few protested ones ever meet with such fate. Jeff Tuero continues to fling great ball for the Cards who incidentally won their seventh straight yesterday. Tuero has copped of his battles this season. The Cards winning streak includes from Cincinnati, from Philadelphia and yes terday's game from Boston.
 Chattanooga fans are riding Daws Graham to a finish. The bugs in Look outville seem to think the big firstsacker
 is not putting out his best efforts and they are making life rather unpleasant for him just now.
 Tex Rickard must be a pretty sensible fellow That move of his whereby the selection of a referee is left to the army boxing board will put the fight before the public in better light
 If you think you see a dark cloud hov- ering over the west end of the city this afternoon, don't run for an umbrella or chase the chicks into the house. It's only that colored baseball contest at Redwood. This ought to be hum- dinger, boys.
