 TO FINISH
 TENNIS MEET

New York, Aug. sO.---Eight players are left to compete for the national singles tennis championship in the 3Sth annual tournament on the turf courts of the West Side Tennis Club. at Forest Hills, l.. l., as a result of yesterdays play. It was a day which will go down in the annals of tennis as the biggest that ever has been in the history of the sport. The play it. self was wonderfully brilliant in every match and furnished a bountifu feast for even the most ardent devotees of the sport.
 But the ibrilliance of the tennis fad ed out before the remarkable things that happened during the course of tine afternoon. Pre-eminent among these was the defeat of the great Aus tralian star. Gerald l.. Patterson, who came here with the British title tucked under his belt. He was defeated by William Nj. Johnston, the little Cali fornian. Johnston downed Patterson in one of the greatest battles ever seen on any court in five sets at 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 4-5, 7-5.

MAN Q WAR
 TO CARRY
 TOP WEIGHT

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 30-The one of the richest and old est classics on the American turf, will be decided here this afternoon, and it is likely that one of the largest crowds that has seen thoroughbred contest in recent years will he pres ent to see 1t run. The race will feature getaway day here.
 The stake this year is worth a trifie more than s3O, 900 and in quest of it eight of the best juveniles in training have been named overnight to start. Among them is Samuel Riddles great Man Q War. Despite the fact that he will carry 13O pounds he will be an odds on favorite, and it is tho opinion of ninetenths of the racego- CTS now here that, barring an acci- dent, he will win. So well is he considered that majority of horse men have conceded him the race and are devoting their time to selecting the youngster which will finish sec. ond.
 Which of them will take the sec ond end of the rich purse IS a matter of conjecture. Constancy probably will be the second choice, but w. R. Goes Cleopatra, Harry Payne Whit ney's pair, Upset and pr. Clark, which formerly was known as a Sammy, and Montford Jonc's Ethel Gray, have worked exceptionally well for the event, and any one of them Is likely to beat Man O War it MT. Riddles great son of Fair Play makes any mistakes.

The Class in sportography.


 seventeen years ago today the fight fans of the world were as excited as II the heavyweight championship was scheduled to be decided. James T Corbett and Kid NcCoy-who several years ago came into prominence through his arrest by BeIgian author ltes on the charge of being imDlic9t- ed ln jewel theft-wcre matched to meet In New York that night, Aug 30. 1900. Corbett had lost his title to Ruby Robert" who in turn had been laid low by the great Jeffries. The latter had also administered a defeat to 'Gentleman Jim" just a few months before. There was no title ar stake. as Mccoy had become too heavy for the legitimate middleweight title. and Corbett certainly could not comnere for that crown.
 Nevertheless, the battle was adver- tised as for "the championship of the world" and in a way this was true, since it brought together the two most clever and scientific boxers Tn the history of pugilism. Some writ CTS have alleged that the bout was a lake, but there seems no basis for that charge, other than alleged "cou- fessiOns' that were themselves prob ably fakes. There was an old erudgo between Corbett and Mccoy, and both were out for victory, blood and -rr-revenge. Both claimed to be the real masters of scientific fisti- cuffs, and they were intensely jealous of each other. Suspicious circumstan- ces surrounded many of NTcCoy's bat ties, but in meeting COrhett the 'IIid'' was certainly bent on winning, if pos sible. Over two years before a Cor bett-McCoy battle had been arranged to take place in Buffalo. but 1t was called off owing to threats of off clal interference. Each of the fighters accused the other of crawling" and a. wordy warfare followed until Aug 30, 1900, when the enemies climbed into the ring to fight it out The bat tie lasted but five rounds, but those five innings were worth to the specta- tors more than a hundred rounds of ordinary fighting. Lightning had lit- tie in the way of speed to teach the two men. and the quickest eye could hardly follow their movements. For five rounds the ring was a kaleidos- cope of flashing white bodies and smacking gloves. The fighters were as light on their feet as a pair of cats. That two big men-for Mccoy had built himself up to ITO pounds could be so quick and agile was a revelation to the spectators. In the fifth round Mccoy went down and out,

Bob Martin, heavyveirht chan-

Bob Martin, heavyweight champion of the A. E. F. and winner of the interalIied title at the meet in Persh- ing Stadium, France, is terribly an xious to fight Jack Dempsey. Martin challenged Carpenter after the French idol had fiattened Dick Smith, a set-up, in Paris recently, but the wires were busy or som nething. be- cause Georges refused to answer. No body over here seems to have a line on Martin to know just how tough he is, but the wise ones who have seen him fight across the brink say he's a cookie. If that's the case Mar tin should try and mingle with Fred Fulton for O starter, or else come over and attempt to punch his way to the top of the mediocre mob of heavies working around here now. If the kids got anything at all he should have little trouble fighting his way to a match with the Salt Lake City Assassin, for fight fans will be simply crazy to see Dempsey quarrel by the time he gets through with his vaudeville stunt Martin could easily get the call for the first. title bout by knocking these other ~contezders" deadi

MAY NOT suggest that Mays would be a good name for a sus- bender.
 After a short try-out, baseball has failed to knock the French dead. They were wild over the thing at first. ac- cording to reports and were getting up leagues and everything. But now that most of the doughboys have left their shores they have apparently passed up the hit and run pastime, because they are shy of teachers and the like.
 Sir Thomas Lipton. that dead game old sport, is getting all set to try for Americas cup again. He's got another scow, and he's calling this one Shamrock IV." He may have some luck this time, on account of four leaf shamrocks being supposedly packed full of charms. Anyhow, Sir homas deserves eleven or twelve cheers for his ability to take a lot of beating I bet he thinks Americas cup is the heaviest thing in the world-he can't even lift it!
