WlTHDRAWS CHALLENGE
Gerald L. Patterson Changes His Plans Regarding a Worlds Title
 Tennis Match With W. T. Tilden.

Seabright, N. J., Aug. 5.-Gerald l.. Patterson of the Australian Davis Cup team has stated that he had de- cided to withdraw his suggestion of a challenge match with William T. Tilden 2d for the worlds tennis title Patterson won the title which the International Tennis Federation con- fers upon the Wimbledon tournament, and it was his idea originally not to claim the honor unless he could de- feat Americas foremost player. The United States does not officially rec ognize the Wimbledon tourney as con- stituting world champ pionship. Pat terson has now decided, however. that inasmuch as he intends to play for the American championship, the win ner of that tournament can rightly claim to be the worlds champion. and special challenge match would be superfuous. Patterson agrees with American opinion that a worlds title bestowed without the competition of Americas leading players is no title at all

JOHNSTON IS VICTOR
Californian Defeats K. Norris Will Hams in Final Match of Invitation Tennis Tourney at Scabright.

Seabright, N. J., Aug. 5.--If doubts have existed as to the tennis form of William M. Johnston of San Fran cisco they were summarily removed yesterday afternoon, when for the second year in succession. he defeated Richard Norris Williams 2d of Long, wood for the seabright Bowl in the final round of the invitation tourna- ment at the Seabright Tennis and Cricket Club. Last year Johnston beat Williams in three straight sets and this year he repeated the per formance. The scores were GO. 6-2, 6-3.
 The Californian's game was going as strongly as ever 1t was when he was winning national championships, and the Davis Cup looks as safe for 1922 as though the name of the United States were already engraved on it. Only Tilden in all the world could have beaten Johnston yester- day, and Tilden would have had to do some lively stepping.
 Johnston was a victor in the doubles, too. He and James o. An derson of Australia defeated Robert and Howard kinsey, Pacific Coast champions. in the semi final round, in two straight sets.6--3, 7-6. John- ston stood head and shoulders above his three associates in this match. All he asked of his partner was a reasonable amount of steady hitting Anderson made good foil for the star and the kinseys were excellent feeders. The real work was done by Johnston.

Harry Fleming Drives Trotter to a Mile in 1850 1-4 Without Pace makers at Fort Miami Track.

Fort Miami Park. Toledo, Ohio Aug. 5 (By Associated Press) Ned da, the handsome daughter of At lantic Express and Pleasant Thought made Grand Circuit harness horse history here yesterday afternoon by trotting a faultless mile in 1859 4 without pacemakers.
 Over what Grand Circuit drivers said was the fastest track yet seen here. the little daughter of Atlantic Express finished under the whip by quarters: o:29 1-2, 0:59 1-4, 1:29 1-2 and 1:59 IA.
 Harry Fleming, who rose from a sick bed to drive the exhibition mile, decided to discard the running mate because of Nedda's extreme nervous ness, and for the same reason the mare will be utilized for exhibition purposes only, Fleming said.
 The worlds trotting record is 1858 1-2 made by Lou Dillon, accom- panied by two running mates, and the record established by Nedda without pacemakers is considered by harness horsemen finer perform ance for this reason.
 Prince Loree won the Elks' Club Stake, 2:0S trot, one heat of which was raced Thursday, by taking the second heat yesterday.
 Jane Revere took the Legal News two- -year-old trot in straight heats. Carl Worthy won the 2:11 trot in straight heats, and Signal Peter the 2:09 trot in straight heats.

BENTLY QUITS ORIOLES

Newark, x. J Aug 5.-Wtihout the services of their star first baseman Jack Bentley, hailed as the Babe Ruth of the International League, who quit the team yesterday and went to his home in Baltimore, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Newark Bears here yesterday in the first tilt of a siN-game series by the score Of to B.
 It is said that Bently left the team because he objected to some criticism recently hurled at him by Baltimore newspapers. This excuse appears to have little strength and it is believed that the big Oriole star had a run-in with Manager Jack Dunn.

LEONARD BOXES TODAY
Lightweight Champion Meets Ever Hammer of Chicac,, Who is Not Conceded Much Chance to Win.

Michigan City, Ind, Aug. 5.-This little city, nesting in the dunes along the shore of Lake Michigan, today was on the boxing map for the sec ond time within a month. Benny Leonard worlds lightweight cham pion, will defend his title in ten- round, no-decision bout this after noon against Ever Hammer a rug eed, aggressive Chicago lightweight They will meet at catchweights, and to take the championship, Hammer must, score knockout. or be fouled by Leonard. A month ago in the same ring, Leonard scored a technical knockout over Rocky Kansas of Buffalo, N. Y.
 Hammer recently has scored sen sational comeback after Is months absence from the ring. He recently has earned newspaper decisions over Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee. and Charley White of Chicago.
 Leonard is a strong favorite to win, but is prepared for a rough contest as he says he regards Hammer as one of the divisions most dangerous left hand hitters They met in 1916, be- fore Benny had acquired the cham pionship from Freddie Welsh and Hammer gave Leonard hard 12 rounds before Hammers handlers stopped the bout after he had been f1oored.

Veteran Suffers Loss of Three Points During the Past Week

Chicago. Aug. b.-(By Associated Freshly Cobb. the Detroit Ameri- cans pilot, continues to sock the ball with marked consistency. while George Sisler, the St. Louis star. is ever, sisler fared better than the Tiger leader during the lest week, q he made a gain of one point over his marke of the previous week by play 4 ing in three games Cobb, on the other hand. suffered loss of three points in his last six games, according to batting averages released today, and which include games of last Wednes- day.
 Cobb Is topping the league list with an average of .4l5 compared with AIS q week ago, while Sisler con tinues to be runner up with .405. . gain of one point over his mark of last week.
 Speaker and Heilmann. The other two members of the big league although not in the zoo class are tagging along behind the leading pair. Iris Speaker. manager of the Indians. being third with .36l, and Harry Heilmann of the Tigers with .s57. each of whom has made rapid strides toward the top rung. Blue Passes Sisler. Blue of the Tigers, took the hon. ors of best run getter from Sisler, by registering 91 tallies. and Ken Will Hams, Sisler's teammate, deprived George of the total base honors. by boosting his total to 23e, tight better than Sisler's record. However, Sisler's mark of 34 stolen bases, is far above that of any other player.
 Williams On Rampage.
 Ken Williams gave the home run hjtters something to shoot at when he cracked out six homers in as many days, and ran his string of four base Flows to 2s, giving him the lead for the season among the major league home run clouters, his closest rival being Rogers Hornsby. of the St. Louis Nationals. who held the honor for several weeks "Tillie" Walker, of the Athletics, has bagged 25 four-bag- gers, and Babe Ruth Is training the duet with 19.
 Honsy Loses Some Points.
 Rogers Hornsby, star of the Cardi- nals, was deprived of some of his honors during the last week. although he continued to lead the batters of the National league. with an average of .391. This. however. is a falling off of several points from his mark of a week ago.
 He bagged only one circuit drive and brought his string of four basers to D.
 Carey Shows Speed.
 Max Carey, the speedy outfelder of the Pirates, also took another honor from the St. Louis favorite, when he showed a sudden burst of speed and stepped out in front as a run getter. Max scored s7 times. while Hornsby's total is S6. Carey also stole four more bases, and is showing the way to the base stealers with 31 thefts.
 Hornsby. however. in addition to being the leading batsman and home run hitter in the league has a good grip on the total base record with a mark of .2S0. His hits include. be- sides his homers. 30 doubles and sev- cn triples.

Joey Fitzpatrick, who will play at first base. should give the club some batting strength. Ray Begley has been playing a good game at first base. and according to the man. agement he is going to the outfeld, in order to give Fitzie an opportunity of playing the initial sack. The trans fer is in no way a reflection on Beg ley's work at first base.
