FORMER CATCHER OF
 ATHLETICS IS RICH.

New York, Aug. 14-Pete Noo- nan, former star catcher of the Athletics, who with Andy Coak- ley, was regarded one Of the best college batteries in the history of baseball. is in luck. according to Frank Flynn, the Knights of Co., IuInbus secretary, just returned from several months activities on the other side. Pete is now in Ire land. having just been notified that he has inherited a million dollars. So, Pete, who went across to help the Doughboys, is coming back wealthy.
 Flynn is a San Francisco lad. In his bOyllood he played scElli-pro- fessionaI baseball with Hughey Jennings, the famous leader of the Tigers, in Scranton. While with tIge Army of Occupation in Ger many, Flynn refereed many bouts, Thursday nights at Esch, LuxeIn- burg, and Saturday nights at TT'ier.

FIVE TITLES IN TENNIS MAY BE
 DECIDED IN U. s.

New York, Aug. 14.-According to a plan advocated by Watson M. Washburn, former Brooklawn tennis star and now a member of the execu- tive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association, five interna- tional tennis championships are to be decided on American courts next sea son.
 His action is said to have received the indorsement of European nations and to fulfill the plans that have gradually been maturing through the wise counsel of Norman E. Brookes and others as to the development of the International Federation move ment in lawn tennis.
 According to the programme pre- pared by Washburn, which is to be incorporated as a part of the Davis Cup regula tions, all worlds cham pionshfps at lawn tennis are disposed of for the next five years. At the end of that period another five year programme is to be determined upon.
 Under the new arrangement the country in which the Davis cup matches are played each year, to be known as the Holding Nation, is also to conduct a series of worlds cham rionships. These worlds champion ship tournaments are to include mems singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed doubles on turf. There is also to be the same programme upon hard courts and 8 covered court tournament.

THEY CAME BACK.

That old Saw" They Never Came Back,'' doesn't always cleave true to its prophecy of failure for the athlete who would regain lost laurels. Ever since Jim Jeffries bungled his at tempt to "come back and reclaim. his boxing honors which had been appropriated by Jack Johnson, the phrase has been written into the stat ute book of sports as law which can never be violated. As a plain mat ter of fact it is nothing more than 8 popular fallacy if we are to introduce argument of past performances of noted athletes.
 One of the best illustrations of a successful -come back" is the case of Big Jim Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs. Several years ago the big fel- low performed so indifferently that he was shipped to the minors Bis Jim showed a reversal of form and pitched his way to the major league again in a season. He marked his re-entranoe into the National League by leading the parent anization's s pitchers last year. And he is win ming more games than he loses this season, too.
 Perhaps the hardest game in which to stage a come back, barring pos SlDly pOAlnS, IS lawn - tennis. Ih9 drain on the energies in competition play is as great if not greater than that expended in the prize ring. This fact is borne out by the marked de- terioration of form revealed in the present game of the once great Mau- rice Mclaughlin, William A Iarned however, proved that the beaten may return again to championship form even in tennis. Larned first won the national singles title in 1901, and he repeated the following season.
 H. L. Doherty, the Englishman, won Larned's honors the next season and in 1904 Ho1conbe Ward an American topped our list of racquet

UPSET VICTOR IN GREAT RACE
 AT SARATOGA

Saratogn, ". Y. Aug. 14 - The Glenn Riddle Farms great two-year- old, Man o'War, was next to the out sido heols of n rival in his first six races. met with his first defeat here yesterday in the running of the san ford Memorial. He was forced to bow to Harry Payne Whitney's Upset fin a neclk-and-ncck finish in this six furlong dash. but he had the satis- faction of quite definitely triumph ing over the widely heradded Golden Broom, which he easily beat into submission and which finished third, four lengths back.
 Though defeated. Man o'war was not discredited On the contrary, the manner in which he ran this race stamped him. in the opinion of hoRscmen. as the best of his division without question. Though failing to get his nose fin front. he stood out ns the best horse in the race by a large margin, for he had all the worst of the racing luck. Beginning with a very bad start. he came on to give battle to a horse which had q start of three to four lengths on him. There was scarcely a witness of this race who did not believe after 1t was aIl over that Man o'War would have walked home, with anything like fair chance.
 The Sanford Memorial, for which John Sanford donated a cup on this occasion because of the presence of Man o'war and Golden Broom. was by far the most interesting event that has been held during the Saratoga meeting. one of the largest crowds of the meeting. about 10000 persons, saw the running of the race.
 After two of the original entries had been scratched. John F. Madden added Captain Aicock, and seven horses went tn the post. As was ex- pected. Man o'war was an odds on favorite. the prevailing price being 1 to 2. Golden Broom was offered as 2 to 1 while Upset. regarded at all times as the third choice, was to to win but only to 5 to show.

GIANT CAST0FFS GAVE LAUGH
 TO JOHN M'CRAW YESTERDAY
Manager Moran of Reds Let Out By New York Leader Last Winter to Make Room
 For Mathewson.

Three Giant castoffs had a great deal to do with the triumph of the Cincinnati Reds over the Giants yes terday in the double header at the Polo Grounds. Manager Pat Moran, Pitcher Slim Sa11ee and Infie1der Heinie Groh were all let out by Me Graw only to return and give him the laugh.
 Groh, who was traded to Cincin- nati years ago as part of a deal by which McGraw got a pitcher who proved a b1oomer, ielded like a de- mon yesterday and knocked out a homer, which helped his club win the opener. Sallee pitched masterly ball in the second when he held the Giants to a measly assortment of three hits. SaIlee talked of retiring at the end of last season and as McGraw didn't thiak he was worth bothering about he let him go to Cincinnati. Sallee lives in Higginsport. O., which is not far from Cincinnati, so he signed with
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-14

Moran without making much fuss.
 The hardest blow of all is the way Pat Moran is picking on McGraw. After Owner William F. Baker of the Phillies, had pulled the stupidesr play of all time by releasing Moran as manager, the Giants signed him to coach the pitchers.
 Cincinnati needed manager and as McGraw wanted to make room for Mathewson as coach of the Giant pitchers, he let Moran go to the Reds as leader. That was the best invest ment the Reds ever made.
 Moran has again proved himself a wizard and the Cincinnati club is making the best showing in years. The Reds have a lead of six and one half games over the Giants now and if Moran beats McGraw out of a pen nant it will be queer trick of fate. And also Owner Baker of the Phillies should be awarded the brown derby for his action in releasing Moran.
