SHOWERS HALT TENNIS.
Wright Brothers Manage to Win One
 Set in Longwood Doubles.

Boston, Mass, July 23.--Rain add ed to the troubles of the committee in charge of the annual Longwood tennis tournament at Chestnut Hill yesterday. It was necessary to call off the morning matches because of rain, and the afternoon play was postponed until f o'clock, when play in the Longwood singles and the New England sectional doubles champion ship were started.
 Neither advanced very far before a heavy downpour caused the compe- tition to go over until today. The Wright brothers, Beals c and Irving C., won one set in the doubles, 6-3, over C. H. Collester and H. Taylor, and led at to 1 in tho second set when the rain came down.
 Nat w. Niles won one set from George Garbe of New York, 6--1, and Charles Garland of Pittsburgh and Willard Crocker, a local boy, played ten games with the count five all when their match was called. The tournament will be continued today, when it is hoped that many contests will be held. The challenge match between the winner of the Longwood singles and the present holder of the trophy, William M. Johnston of California, will not take place until next week.

 Both mon report as being ready to step into the ring right now and the loser will not have the consolation of being able to give lack of condi- ton as an alibi. Fox is satisfied that he has a perfect defense against any of the champions pile-driving blows and is now engaged in perfecting an attack with which he hopes to land the honors I<ilbane is not saying anything for publication, but from the way he is conscientiously pre- pairing himself it is evident that he does not underrate the Englishman.

LOFTUS CASE DROPPED.
Empire Track Stewards Find No Of-
 fense Against Jockey.

New York, July 23.-The investiga- tion of Johnny Loftus by the stewards of the Empire City track ended yes- terday. The authorities could find no evidence that the noted jockey rode a criminal race on Willis Sharp Kil- iner's Sun Briar in the Mount Yer non Handicap last week and dis missed the case.
 Loftus admitted to them that he rode bad race, but said he be- lieved he was following stable in- structions. He said that he had been ordered to hold Sun Briar off the pace and make his run through the stretch. This he did, but when he let Sun Briar down in the home stretch the horse quit from a full to a walk.
 The stewards were of the opinion that the jockey used bad judgme ent, but took into consideration that Sun Briar was not up to a hard race.

WILDE IS ANXIOUS
 ID FIGHT IN AMERICA
Jimmy Could Then See the Differ
 eDCe With a Fair Referee

New York, July 23.-Word comes from dear ol' Lunnon that Jimmy Wilde, the British fyweight cham p1on' wants to hunt the Yankee doi- lar down in it's own lair. The little fellow whom the Brttshcrs call pocket edition of the late Bob F'itz- simmons, is turning cold eye on Promoter Cochran's bids for a return match with Pal Moore at OIym pia, and is casting longing glances toward these shores in, the hopes of finding "a boxing bonanza.
 Whether Wilde's declarations that he wants to come to America are the real goods or only arc a bluff to make Cochran raise the ante for the pro- ! posed return title with Moore remains to be seen.
 There is no doubt, however, that Wilde would be warmly welcomed in : this country. While he is ething of an exploded phenom-istic folk . had been led to believe he was well nigh invincible and greatly were ! shocked by his failing to show any
 thing extraordinary against either Joe I Lynch or Pal Moore-he undOu bted Iy will prove a good drawing card. ! Fistic fans tire of old faces and wei
 come new ones. Americas cosmo ] politan population, as well as Ameri-
 ca's good sportsmanship, always as-
 sures a visiting foreigner a hearty greeting.
 The one fly in the ointment is that
 Wilde has given out that his pro-
 posed trip to the United States does
 not include the probability of his
 meeting Pete Herman, the worlds
 bantam champion, for Wilde de- ciares there is no chance of Herman
 making 116 pounds, the only weight Jimmy will consent to mingle at. Would Dictate Weight. The cocy little Britisher insists that he and not Champion Herman should dictate the weights. There is no reason, however, why Herman should want to meet Wilde, while there is a strong reason, inasmuch as Her man holds the title, why the British CT should desire 8 ring engagement with the American. There are no grounds for Wilde expecting Herman to make 116 pounds. Wilde's only chance of meeting Herman is at the weight the American won the title, HIS pounds.
 While the proposed Wilde Moore return match is hanging fire Moore will not be idle. The American has been matched to meet Walter Ross, the British bantam. The pair wll meet at Olympia within the next three
 weeks for 8 side bet of $2,5oo.
 Perhaps Wilde's refusal to consider
 Cochran's offer to meet Moore is in
 fluenced by the fact that the offer
 Is none too rich one. It was given
 out that 10000 attended the match
 between Wilde and Moore, and that the Briton received $15,000 and the
 American $10,0O0 for their services. Cochran now announces that the re- ceipts for the fight were $9,500, l which would tend to make the as sertion Wilde and Moore were paid a total of $25,000 seem rather fishy The remarkable variance between ! the unofficial and official reports of I attendance and gate receipts at the Wilde Moore bout is in line with the same variance that characterized the recent heavyweight imbroglio at To- I 7cdN

Chicago, July 23.-Carl Mays, emi- nent exponent of the submarine de- livery, may soon be wearing the uni form of the White Sox,
 If President Comiskey doesn't land this pitcher it won't be because he failed to use tempting bait.

 With a pennant staring him in the face for 1912, Comiskey is determined to get another winning pitcher for Gleason regardless of cost. If he fails to land Mays the man who controls the destinies of the south side team will go after some other good man.

RAIN CAUSES LOSS
St. Swithin Showers Has Kept From Giants Management Golfers An Es- timatcd Sum of S50,OOO.


 Giants Management Golfers An Es- timated Sum of $5O,OOO.
 New York, July 23.-Thc St. Swith- in showers of the last week have cost the Giants about $50,000, so it is es- timated. There have been six post ponements during the last eight days, including Saturday and Sunday games, which would have probably attracted 50,000 spectators for the two games. Mondays double header with Cincinnati, would doubtless have drawn more than 10000, while yes terdays game would have attracted almost aS many.
 Not within the memory of the old est fan in Harlem has there been such a stretch of bad weather in July. There was a week of weather some thing like this during the world S series ill 1911, when the Giants and Athletics were marooned in Phila- delphia. But this was in early Oc- tober, when the weather is not SUD- posed to be as reliable as in July.
