ADVISE TILDEN NOT
 TO TAKE ANY RISKS

A private cable despatch received late yesterday from London indicates that William T. Tilden may default to Gerald Patterson in the challenge round at Wimbledon, England, today. The cable received at the offices of the National Lawn Tennis Associa tion was signed by Samuel Hardy, captain and manager of the American Davis Cup tennis team, and read:
 "Tilden knee wrenched; may de- fault Saturday playing surely Davis Cup.'
 Members of the associations execu- tive committee stated that they did not know how serious Tilden's injury was, and the question of his playing rested entirely with Hardy. As the American tennis team was sent to England primarily to play in the Davis Cup matches, which open July 8, it is considered preferable here for Tilden to default tomorrow rather than take any chances of further in turing his knee.
 The executive committee therefore decided to notify both Hardy and Tilden not to play tomorrow if in their opinion such competition would endanger the loss of Tilden's services in the Davis Cup matches.

TORONTO INSISTS
 KAUFF IS TRADED.
Spencer, Sensation al Outfielder Going to Giants for Bashful
 Benny.

Toronto, July 3|It has been learned from an authoritative source here that Benny Kauff, the we'll known outfeIder of the New York Giants and former Hartford, Conn, player, has been traded to the local International League Club for Wer. mon Spencer, who has been playing such sensational game in centre field for Toronto this season and who has attracted the attention of practi-
 ca1ly all of the major league scouts by his hitting. According to word received at the headquarters of the
 Toronto Baseball Club last night Kauff will leave the Giants tonight
 and wilt join Toronto in Rochester
 on Sunday. There has been spirited bidding among the clubs of the National and American Leagues for Spencer's ser vices. Several big cash offers have
 been made for the player, but the Toronto officials turned a deaf ear to all bidding until the Giants offered Benny Kauff and Pitcher Wilber 1! Hubbe11 and some cash in exchange for the local gardener. These terms were accepted. The Philadelphia Ma tiona1 League, Club, however, refused l to waive claim to Hubben and the pitcher was sold to the Phi1lies by the Giants. It is understood that the Giants then increased their cash offer 1 to accompany Kauff in the deal, and this was accepted by Toronto.
 Spencer left this city for New York 1 last night. Before his departure hs was presented with a travelling bag | by the Toronto fans. The presenta- tion speech was made by Mayor Church, the kingpin of local fans.

PITCHER HERBST
 JUMPS HIS TEAM

Frank Herbst, who with Water bury last season looked like one of the best pitchers in the Eastern League, subsequently being sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates whose claims to the pitchers services was disputed, by Connie Mack, has jumped the Birmingham club of the Southern League. Herbst is now with the Will lizards, a strong independent club of Cleveland The big pitcher appar- entity grew tired of his job with Birmingham for which club he failed to show any of the effectiveness he displayed for Waterbury last season. He worked in about seven games and in almost all of them he swas beaten by overwhelming scores. As Herbst last season employed the spit-ban which is now barred in the Southern League, that may have accounted for his inability to come through for Birmingham. Herbst went south with the Pirates and because of his splendid makeup for a pitcher, Geo. Gibson, the Pittsburgh manager. re- garded him as a. promising prospect He was sent to Birmingham to ao- cNuire more experience.

Outfe1der Mccormack, who has been playing with g. shipyard team in New York. reported to the Hillies yesterday. He was highly recommend ed by Pitcher Bill Ke1leher, who brought him back with him from New York.
 Manager Birmingham is still seek ing pitchers. He is greatly pleased with the showing of Ke11eher and fig ures that if he could land another twir1er of his type he would again be in the running for the pennant as Reiger, stubing, lillian and Shower would round out the balance of his pitching staff. Pitcher .Brazil1 will probably be let go in a day or so. One of the catchers will be dropped for it is not intended to carry Hayden, Jordan and Walsh.

JOHNNY ALLEN TO

Battle to Take Place at Next Show of Bridgeport Athletic and Amuse-

Johnny Red" Allen. the Crasho A. .. star, and Mike McCaibe, one of the 2leverest lightwe.ghts who ever per formed in this city, will in all prob ability meet at the next show to be staged by the Bridgeport Athletic and Amusement Co. The A and A. are to stage a series of Saturday night shows to be held at their new outdoor Arena on Statet street and Red" will get another chance to prove that he is still there.
 Johnny wants another match with Steady Steadman who won the deci- sion over him at the Armory A. A last week, and wants to meet him so bad that he will take him on a winner take all basis.
 Red said just after the fracas with Steadman that he was the most sur prised person in the hall when he re- ceived the wallop that sent him to the floor for short count. T held him too cheap" said Allen. ''and all I want is another chance at him and he will nevers want to meet Bogash or any one else around these parts" Allen is training hard every day, which is something the West End fbattler didn t care a whole lot for, and it goes to prove that Johnny is in earnest and will offer no alibis the next time.

 Billy Johnston, it seems, is just human after all. Hrproved that by
 falling before Parke, man he real

 standing the fact that the veteran
 Briton exhibited remarkable tennis Johnston probably will regain his usual good form for the Davis cup matches. It is to be sincerely hoped that he will. But in case that he doesn't and again .fivvers' as he did at Wimbledon, Uncle Sam still has the rangy Tilden in reserve.

William T. Tilden's wonderful dis play of tennis in the Wimbledon
 championship in England has rated him in the eyes of Britons as one of the greatest opponents of the game ever produced by America. They do not except even the dynamic Maurice Mclaughlin, or the bril- liant William Johnston, either. Til- den's astonishingly impressive defeat of Parke, who had unexpectedly com passed the downfall of Johnston is a thing England will never forget. The lanky Americans exhibition in this match, his terrific serving, whizzing forehand drives. and vexing cut strokes in the heat of the test has seldom been equa1led and hardly ever surpassed on the historic Vim bIedon courts. Even recollections o1 the famous Dohertys, Anthony Wild ing and the vanquished Parke at hi

 Tilden, on the strength of his su- perb display in recent matches is be- ing made strong favorite, even over Johnston, in the coming great test. English critics declare that even Nc Loughlin at his best had no more formidable service than that of the Quaker court star. In fact they are delighted with Ti1den's all around efficiency and assert that it has been their privilege to glimpse one of the greatest tennis experts the world has ever produced.
 The one thing that puzzles English critics is this: What sporting goods firm is it that manufactures a rac- quet that can stand the strain o1 Tilden's terrific serving and forehand drives?
 America has been nettled about lSthat question, too, John Bull. 0Copyright by The Wheeler Syndt-

Lord, in order that when we find Him
He may guide US. These solmen days
show us our weaknesses; so we seek
the Lord that He may give US cour-
age to live Alright. We know we'll that
once we feel Him near His presence
will give to US no rest as long as our
lives remain petty and our outlook
narrow. We need the clearness Of Wis
ion which He can bestow. As the years
pass by us, we tend to lose our sense
Of the true proportion Of things. We
begin to loom too big on our own hor-
lions. Our smallest ills absorb US; we
fight to bolster up our petty dignities.
We come to believe that we and our
needs are all-important. But let man
once realize that God Is near Let him
but think in terms Of eternity, let Him
accustom himself to the idea Of infn-
tie space and time; then, inevitably,
instead of shuddering at the accidents
Of life, he will be brave; instead Of
fearing death he will be able to look
beyond the grave where in life eternal
all the unfinished tasks Of earth have
their uninterrupted completion. In
stead Of thinking OF his own needs,

battle sweeps to and fro. Shall the
human soul, thirsting for God, wait
until the debate is finally settled?
Man, lonely and discouraged, needs
God now. Let him accept Gods DOM
inion while the sages keep at their
philosophizing. Reason is just one of
the pathways to wisdom. What the
mind may grope for in vain, the heart
may sometimes discern at once. That
is what our Thorah refers to when it
says (Deut. VIII, 81: "Know thou in
thy hearth" That is to say: "Think as
clearly as you can, shun not the truth,
but do not fear to trust the illumin-
alton Of your heart" Strong in reas-
oning, rich in emotion, that is the
true type Of the Jewish sage. In any
medieval Jewish theology you will find
on one page minute reasoning about
the nature and attributes Of God, and
on the very next page high type Of
religious exaltation. One philosopher
entities his book: "The Duties Of the
Heart" and another "Dialogs on the
Love Of God" So ITO know the Lord"
has always meant to US to reason
about Him, and also to feel Him near,
to be inspired by His presence. To
know God in this double sense is the
knowledge we seek on this day.
We seek, then the knowledge Of
God. We seek it with mind and heart
and it is not just love for knowledge
