SUN BRlER IS
 WINNER IN BIC
 SARATOGA RAGE

SaratoG&, Aug. 6-Willis Sharpe Kilmer's imported colt Sun Briar is back to the form that earned him worldwide fame last year. He proved that yesterday in the Delaware Han dicap. He was beaten a short head by Clifford A Cochran's Fairy Wand fin the splendid time of 1886 1-5. This mark ts the same as that which Sun Briar established fin the same stake last year. While Fairy Wand won the s3.5o0 purse, it was the perform ance of Sun Br1ar that was the sen- sation of the day.
 IL electrified the 10000 racegoers. and, although defeated, he received q tremendous ovation. Fairy Wand de- serves great credit for her feat She ran the best race of her cratic ca reer. but it was nothing com pared to that of Sun Briar. MT. Cochran's mare carried only 107 pounds, while Sun Brfar shouldered 128 pounds, two popnds over the scale weight, and gave away from three to twenty four pounds to his opponents.
 A dozen ! h1ndfcap horses were nam ed overnight to start, but four were withdrawn. Sun Briar was coupled with Exterminator and was made the favortte at 6 to 5. In a trial a few days ago Sun Briar breezad O mile in 1:3g 2-6. Practically all racegocrs predicted on easy victory for him in today's stake.

 TOO LATE FOR
 TENNIS MATCH

Newport, R. l., Aug. 6-C1ass main tained it's supremacy as the field in the cup singles narrowed to sixteen survivors in the third round of the lawn tennis tournament on the turf of the Casino here yesterday. There were several spirited battles and near upsets.
 The outstanding feature. howeve~ tha. held the attention of the foItow- CTS of the game was the scratching of the Aust-auans. The names of Ger ald L. Paterson, Norman E. Brooks, R. V. Thomas and Randolph Iycett were stricken from the list, thereby eliminating all possibility of the great test of all of the Americans test ing their competitors from the anti podes during the present session on the courts.
 The explanation as to the necessity for the default of the Australians is that the late arrival of the steamship Adriatic, which is expected to dock at New York on Wednesday, made 1t impossible longer to hold open their matches. George T. Adee. president of the National Association. telephon- ed from New York to Craig Riddle that the Australians would move on to Newport for the doubles upon their dcbarkation.
 There was ono break in the ranks of the pfayere from the Pacific Coast It furnished a battle spirited with thrills. Furthermore, although Will liam T. Tilden 2d, the sensational player who carried all but tho nation al title by storm last season, defeated Robert Kinsey, 6-4. 7-5, 12-10. It demonstrated that in Kinsey the forces of the Pacific Coast possess a young wielder of the racquet who is apt to edorn . national title before his oaSeer proEU8es much further.

REDS NOT ID
 MAKE PROTEST
 ON NEHF DEAL.

Cincinnati, Aug. While tho baseball fans of Cincinnati are ant steamed up over the Giants pur- chase of Art Nehf from Boston, and threaten "reprisals' when the Giants come back here next week, Garry Hermann said yesterday that the New York club was within it's rights when 1t made the deal, Hermann said:
 T am inclined to think that the New York club was perfectly within it's rights when they made the deal. They had some of the players out on optional agreements with minor league clubs, but have the Reds. The committee of the minor leagues when in conference with the majors ruled that no optional agreements should be made with the minors, but as long as the club owners are will ing to take this responsibility on their shoulders no one has any kick coming.
 As far as Cincinnati is concerned. I don't care how many new pitchers McGraw signs up. He will need a whole lot of them before the Red batters get through with them this season."

WILLIE JACKSON LOST TEMPER IN
 TENOLER BOUT

New York, Aug. 6-According to additional details of the contest be- tween Lew Tender and Willie Jack son at Shibe Park, Philadelphia last Monday night the New York light weight would have won the bout by a knockout in the first -ound except for an astonishing lack or headwork, considering the number or years he has been engaged in ring contests.
 Jackson's effective right hook floored Tendler twice inside of the first minute Of fighting of the frs: round, and after each knockdown the Quaker's seconds violated the rules by showering the fallen boxer with water.
 Jackson became infuriated by these tactics and instead of devoting all his attention to his helpless opponent wasted time rushing at the offend ing seconds and attempting to strike them. These intervals. combined with the drenching Tendler received, enabled him to weather the first round storm.
 There is small question that had Jackson ignored the action of the seconds and stuck close to Tender the New Yorker would have been credited with a knockout over Tend Tor and be in a position where he could ask for q title match with Leon- ard.
 Although Tendler gave evidence that he has not the strongest jaw in the world, yet the courage and recu- perative powers he exhibited from the second round to the close earned the plaudits of those who admire ga garOeneSS

Lewis, Baker and Daubert May Retire
 At End of Season

In the heat of the pennant strife one worry arcady clouds the brow or Miller Huggins for the next sea- son It became known that Duffy Lewis, the crack outfie1der of the team and one of the stars of the dia- m ond, plans to retire at the end of the season and devote his time and attention to the automobile tire bus mess. Lewis has flourishing business in California. which promises to net him greater financial returns than the baseball diamond possibly could
 At the same time J. Franklin Bak- CT has intin ated strongly that his farm in Trappe, Md, holds greater attractions for him than the uncertain strife of baseball. In St. Louis the home run king told the writer that he was thinking seriously of quitting the game this fall This is not the first time that Baker has threatened to retire. He has tasted the sweets of baseball fame, realizes how fleet ing is the name and glory of the dia- mond star and is ready to leave the game to younger men,
 According to the gpssips Jake Dau- bert will end his career as a big league player at the conclusion of this season. Pat Moran has made Dau- bert work with unusual energy since Joining the Reds, but Cincinnati crit fcs say that Jacob is weak at the bat in the pinches and for that req son, he is not valuable member of the team Moran has been trying to buy the release of First Baseman George Kelly of the Rochester Inter- national League club, who is bat ting heavily this year. Kelly was once tried by the Giants. but he failed to hit major league pitching. Whether Moran secures Kelly or not, 1t 1s the general belief that Daubert is near- ing the windup.

RoUSH PASSES MYERS AS
 RUNNER-UP IN NATIONAL,

Eddie Roush, the Giant castoff, has passed Fly Myers as runner-up in the National League batting derby and now is hanging on the flank of Cactus Cravath. It can be noted that the two batsmep who fought 1t out for last years batting laurels in the Tener circuit, Zach Wheat and Roush, both are in the first flight and have a good chance of repeating their 1918 duel. As Cravath seldom ccts into a game now except as a pinch hitter he can not much longer be considered for batting honors.
 There were no changes in the American League batting race yes- terday. Cobb still leads with Sisler, Veach, Peckinpaugh and Jackson trailing. The five leaders in each cir cult follow:

PARIS, July 11.-Whatever remain

Paris had in the proposed trial OF
Wilhelm Hohenzollern was practically
ended today following receipt of a
note from Holland.
This note declared that, regardless
Of the allies warning, the Dutch would
insist on exercising their sovereign
rights as they saw fit.
In many quarters the tone of the
reply was believed to be clear indi-
cation of the non-surrender position
Holland would take IL q formal demand
was made for the ex-kaiser.
Each allied commissioner is frankly
more interested in reparation than in
the efforts to try the former emperor.
