doing his mightiest, while the Whit

Forty thousand people counted the
undefeated champion as beaten at

wonder horse was at John T. Grier's
throat. 4 few more and the marvel
jumped 10 the front
From there on Man q War received

AMERICANS PLAY
BR|T0NS THURSDAY
Davis Cup Matches With English
Team Goes on Now That
France Is Out.

EASTBOURNE, England. July IL
With France safely disposed Of in the
Davis Cup trials on the tennis courts,
American racquetcrs arc looking Tor
ward to meeting the British tennis
team Thursday. The winner OF this
match meets the Holland team. which
drew bye when Canada defaulted.
II the United States team is victor
throughout it will play the Australian
team for the trophy.
France was beaten, five matches to
none Colbert and Laurentz represent
ing France, yesterday in dDubles were
beaten by Johnston and Tilden by
o. 6-3 90. Johnston has defeated
Colbert in singles, while Tilden did
the same with Laurent in singles.
The Americans lost but two sets dur
ing the five engagements.
Johnston's tennis reached its great
est heights yesterday. His driving
was revelation to the onlookers.
who delared that never in the his
tory Of turf court tennis had they
seen such display.
Yesterdays doubles match was over
in fifty- Ave minutes. almost record
for International Cup engagements.
1ilden and Johnston played fiercely,
ard frequently drove through the
Frenchmen balls that were prac-
tically unreturnable
The win in the doubles engagement
gives the Americans three stral ght
matches. 1t will not be necessary TO
stage the two remaining singles en-
gagements, for the Americans are not
needing these wins to enter the next
round.
Thursdays engagement will prob
ably find Johnston and Tilden oppos.
ing J. G. Parks and A. r. i. Kings
cote or Michael MavrogOrdatO. 1t Is
expected that Parkc will face John
ston again. In the all-comers' tour
nament which Tidcn won after de-
feating parkc. the veteran scored
over Johnston in the third round.
Johnston has SO far improved since
that time that he is expected to win
over Psrke. Tilden can be counted
upon to hold his own against either
player. In doubles II is expected that
Kingscotc and Parke will play. AL
though Mavrogordato may be showed
in the doubles.
Williams and Garland may be used
in the doubles competition in the
matches with the Britons. This pair,
which won the all-Comcrs', is not
rated as strong as the Tildcn- John
ston combination, which they defeated
on their way to the title.

most wonderful and beautiful in the
world. | shall go to Paris and from
there to Lens, where my o,d home

THINKS RULES WILL
SOON Be REMED|ED
Pitchers Complain That They
Cannot Make Ball Curve
Under Regulations.
BY SAM CRANE.

Considering the heavy handicap
many pitchers of both the National
and American leagues are forced to
labor under by the new pitching
rules, and the few boxmen who have
retained their effectiveness since the
new order that forbids the use of for
cign substances can be used on the
ball. went into effect. | look for
more lenient rules to be adopted for
next season.
That the emery ball. shine ball or
roughing the surface of the ball in
any way will be allowed again is out
OF the question. There is no general
objection to the splitter" by the play
ers, and that delivery will probably
be brought into use again by all
pitchers who desire it. 1t will not be
Objectionable either to club owners
or the baseball public as far as l can
learn
The elimination to an extent OF the
curve ball is, in my opinion, a step
backward in the game. Many pitchers
say they are unable to get the curve
or break to the ball because they
cannot now grip it as firmly as when
they could use resin on their hands,
and that in trying to curve the ball
under the present rules blisters are
formed on their fingers that result
in loss of control
THEY WORKED OFTENER.
Pitchers of the earlier days of base
ball did not encounter such difficulty,
and they were called upon to pitch
oftener than hurlers of the present.
The old-timers were expected to go
into the box every other day. and
when not pitching they were shifted
to right field And there was just
as speedy pitching then as now and
more curved balls were pitched, too.
So it is not an impossiblity, it seems,
tor the slabmen of today to overcome
the handicap they say they are put
under by the new rules.
No doubt some Of the pitchers are
springing the new rule alibi" as one
excuse for their falling off in ef-
fectiveness, although there are others
who are really affected thereby and
have become badly discouraged over
it. I think it would be a dctriment
to the sport If the curve were elimi-
mated, but l hardly think that 1t
would be discarded entirely, even If
the new pitching rules were retained.
History of the game indicates that.
SHOULD GET BUSY.
II the pitchers would only get the
idea out of their noodles that they
are handicapped and instead get busy
trying to acquire the break, they
would succeed. About all that they
are doing now'is making complaints
1t is only the scarcity OF pitchers that
may influence the rule makers to
amend the code.
That baseball was never more sue
cessful than this year and attendances
at games all over the country never
before so continuously large attests
to the ever-increasing popularity of
the pastime. No doubt this has been
brought about by the heavier batting
over previous years This. OF course
IL going to be considered by the rule
makers in debating change.
