WESTERN WINNER
Of SCHOOL TITLE
Captures Base Ball Cham
pionship by Beating Central
in Final Game, 1911.
RY II. G.. BIZ I'D.

Western has won the high school
base ball championship. Yesterday II
took the title by defeating Central in
the last game of the play-off series by
13 to II. making the second time TINS
season that the Red and White has
compelled the Blue and White to dip
in honor to it's prowess.
Savage hitting was the main factor
in giving Western the victory.
Seventeen hits for total of more
than twenty bases were slammed out
by the Georgetown boys, exceptional
batting for a scholastic organization.
Krupp, Centrars star, was driven
from the slab by regular drumfire
of hits and runs in the early innings,
and all through the contest the Red
and White players welded their bats
effectively.
Hair pitched much better ball for
Western than the score indicates.
Nine errors back of him would have
been sufficient to cost him the con-
test had his teammates not MADE up
for their poor fielding by slammlng
the ball so frequently where no Cen
trail fielder could get his hands on ,,;nf IL
Burke of Western was the cnlei
stick wielder of the day, as he put
five safe cracks in the base hit coll
umn out of his six trips to the plate
Burke, who also wore the Red ana
White of Western, got three olnsies.
Burke and Nordlinger each con
nected for a triple. Russell did the
best batting for Central. his three
hits out Of five times up standing out
as prime StickwDrk.
About the only man on the western
team who deserves real credit lot
fielding, though. is Conard, who nan
died five putouts-and made three as
sists while holding down his JOB In
center field.
western broke into the champion
ship column yesterday in base oali
for the first time in long while. The
Red and White has had some gooo
teams in recent years, but none strong
enough to take the title. For west
ern to win a championship is exceed,
ingly creditable to PLAYERS and
coach. as the smallness Of it's student
body is a big handicap. Usually two
or three weak spots are left after the
best available materiadl is used up.
when in a larger school the weak
spots could be easily filled. western
has won a championship and defeated
Central twice in the same season,
which should give Bryan Morse, coach
of all sports at Western. something
pleasant to think about during his va
cation this summer.
Knights of Columbus Base Ball

THOUSANDS GATHER
TO VIEW REGATTA
Huge Throng to See College
OarSmen in Contest on
Lake Cayuga Today.

ITHACA. n. Y. June ia sunny
day overhead, the biggest crowd that
has ever attended an athletic event in
this town and battle royal between
the varsity crews of Cornell and SYRIA
cuse formed the prospect of the
twenty third annual regatta of the
Intercollegiate Rowing Association on
Cayuga lake this afternoon. The fore
cast for today was fair, with fairly
brisk north wind. blowing straight
down the course.
This burg, which is afflicted with a
nigh fever over the biggest of inter,
collegiate regattas, put on it's best
dress today to receive the thirty-odd
thousand who are expected to line the
shores Of the lake long before the be-
o'clock.
stores, small shops, hotels and the
highways and byways were in gala
dress. The shop windows were aglow
with the colors of the four rival col
leges in pennants, armbands and dec
oratlons of every description.
Winner Is ProblematicaI.
And yet in the throng that is filling
the hotels to capacity and overfiowing
into private houses there were few
who were bold enough to name the
winner Of any of the three races. with
the exception of the freshman race,
IN which Cornell is the pronounced
favorite. Not even the shrewdest of
the rowing experts who have been
here for days looking the crews over
would venture an assured prediction
IN the other contests. Either Cornell
or Syracuse in the varsity and junior
varsity races was as far as the fore
cast went.
Ihls feeling was reflected in the bet ]
ting, which continues to be brisk at
even money on either of the favorites.
Ihere have been few regattas in
which the outcome was shrouded in
as much uncertainty and doubt.

JOHNSTON BEATS T|LDEN.
IN LONDON COURT Event

LONDON, June 19.-In one of the
finest tennis matches ever seen IN
Great Britain William M. Johnston of
San Francisco, singles tennis champion
of the United States, defeated William
T. Tilden of Philadelphia in the finals
of the London lawn tennis champion
ship tournament today.
Johnston won by the score of 80,
60. Ga.
The feature of yesterdays play was
the brilliant work of Tilden, who beat
the Japanese expert, Zenzo Shimldzu,
81 6-1, with consummate e sse and
finish, proving himself master in all
points of the game. The, match was
over in almost record time-twenty-
two minutes.
Johnston had no difficulty in dispos-
ing of Maj. Dudley. GO, 6-3. and 1t
was the opinion that the American
champion was Ioafing comparatively
throughout the match.
In the doubles Johnston and Tilden,
who won. 60, 60. were all-round
too fast for NJ. J. G. Ritchie and F.
NJ. B. Fisher, the latter former cabi-
net minister of New Zealand. The
60. 60 victory of r. Norris Will
liams and c. S. Garland over Shimidzu
and Mishu was due to the forcing tao
tics of the Americans.
After the games Tilden said he was
convinced that future development of
the grass game would be mixed ground
strokes, alternating a heavy cut drive
with a straight top spin drive and
consolidated by forceful volleyins.
