ATHLETES ARE BUSY
IN MANY QUARTERS
Yankees and Red Sox Meet in
Double Header at Polo
Grounds.
DAVIS CUP PLAY FEATURE
Americans Take Stand Against
Australians in All ImpOr-
tant Tennis Matches.

Somewhere out there in the offing a
football plunks family. Another month
IA mere two fortnights on end-and
the plunk of to-day will be a booming
challenge. Only the Indian part of a
summer will remain as a reminder OF
torrid July and August-of summers
sport card that has heard and sur
rendered to the challenge of the mill
tant pigskin. But before that newt
able surrender-quite as complete and
unconditional as any in wars history
the summer games will have one
more day in the full glare of the spot
light. That's to-day-with it's varied
Labor Day program. Cards of admis-
sion mean nothing. The big need is a
swivel with collar button attachments.
Summer takes it's last hard kick in
the realm of sport to-day and summer
Is running the full gamut of play.
Basebalically speaking the Yankees
will have the center of the stage In
New York. The Giants lit out last
night for Boston, where they are sched-
uled for a pair of tetc-a-tetes to-day
with the only pean-fed Braves in cap
tvity. and while the worlds champions
were striding into the Land of the Puri-
tans the Dodgers were hiking into the
vale of boarded pennies and the Sdtur-
day EUeni,tg Post to joust twice with the
Philadelphia Nationals. So the Yanks
were assigned to supply the baseball
wants of all Greater New York with
the .downtrodden Hubbites of the Red
Sox species as their sparring partners.
Instead of following the usual custom Of
morning and afternoon games the holi-
day Offering will be served up In the
form of double header this afternoon.
The Affair mt Forest Hills.
Probably the high water mark of the
days athletic activities will be reached
out on the West Side tennis courts at
Forest Hills, where the American pair,
Bill Tilden and Bill Johnston, make
their final stand against those deter
mined challengers from Australia, Ger
aid L. Patterson and James 0. Anderson,
in defense of the Davis cup, the worlds
most coveted tennis trophy. Only az
recently as Friday night these two sim
giles matches which are to be fought to-
day held nothing more than a hollow
promise. Tilden had just disposed Of
Patterson In stright sets and with still
greater dispatch Johnston had whipped
Anderson. Moreover. only day or two
before Tilden and Vincent Richards had
trounced Patterson and Pat O'Hara

was a victory for Tilden and Richards
over the same pair Saturday. but when
Saturday came 1t was the Australians
who won, and by the surprisingly one
sided scores OF Cd. 60. 6-3. This
result meant that the Americans must
take one of to-day's singles contests or
the cup will go back to Australia,
whence it was rescued by the same Til
den and Johnston two years ago. In
to-day's pairings Tilden Is bracketed
with Patterson and Johnston is meeting
Anderson.
Golf offers no local fixtures of i'm
portance. This fact however, does not
mean that the wild eyed knights of the
rolling Fairgrounds have shaken or
their addiction. Quite on the contrary.
every golf club in the district has its
