 THE BIG LEAGUES
IntersectionaI Games Find Upsets by Lower Di-
 vision Clubs

New York, May 14,-unexpected strength shown by second division clubs. notably Detroit in the Amer ican and Cincinnati and Philadelphia in the National. proved an outstand- ing feature of tho first week of in- frightened the major league pennsnt races.
 The New York clubs met strong opposition from their western rivals. as had been expected, but retained their places at the top. St. Louis, Pittsburg and Chicago were closely punched in that order behind tho worlds champions, while the Yankees and St. Louis continued to make 1t a two-club affair in the American, the slim margin of a half game separat- ing the rivals as result of Detroit's second straight victory today over Ifuggins' crew.
 The Giants, off to flying start in the west. dropped the last two games of the St, Louis series, and were blanked by Chicago Saturday, but 8 victory today over Alexander and tho Cubs. while the Cardinals lost to Philadelphia, increased their lead to four games again.
 Pirates In Running
 Hard hitting and good pitching put Pittsburg back in the first division. the Pirates collecting an average of 12 hits per game, while the Phillies displayed the greatest strength they have shown this season by taking four straight from the skidding Cubs. Chicago, with it's pitching staff slumping badly, has lost six out of the last seven games and dropped from second to fourth place. Alex ander, banked upon as the mainstay of tho hurling corps, lost his fourth straight game today.
 Cincinnati. behind improved pitch ing and consistent batting, gained in the face; the Boston Braves broke even in the first week of the in vasion, while Brooklyn. unable to make it's hits count, lost six straight but won today from Cincinnati.
 Ty Cobb's Tigers batted harder than any of their American league rivals, taking four straight from Bos- ton, making 1t two out of three to- day from the Yankees and threaten- ing to enter the first division.
 Macks Break Even
 The Philadelphia Athletics. with an array of home run hftters, proved they will be troublesome for any con- tender this seaon. breaking even in series of slugging bees with Cleve- land and St Louis.
 Washington was unable to stop the Browns: Iris Speakers tribe was handicapped by ineffective hurling, while Boston, after q disastrous series with Detroit came back to take pair from the White Sox, who lost hard fought series with the Yankees.

 Finals

Berkeley Cal. May l4-william ar Johnston of San Francisco, second ranking player in the United States, i defeated William T. Tilden, II, of Philadelphia. world champion, in the finals of the Pacific coast singles tennis championship today 75; 7-s; Gel; GO
 The champion, who also is the first ranking player in the country. won but one set, the second. The final set showed Johnston and Tilden playing at top speed, but the chain pion was unable to find an opening In Johnston's court.
 The day was one of the warmest of the season and the sun was in- tensely bright on the asphalt court. Tiiden, in the third set, seemed to feel the effects of the heat.
 The first set went to Johnston, 7-5 Both started playing in deep back court and made placements in the corners and on tho side lines with lightning rapidity. Johnston obtained a lead of 5-2 before Tilden was able to find the side lines. Then the customer evened the score.
 Johnston took the next two games by tockeying Tiiden out of position,
  forcing him to make errors. Tilden made the greatest number of place ments, but his greater number Of err TOTS lost for him.
 Tilden Wins Second
 In the second set, which went to Tilden, 9-7, Johnston executed two games before Tilden got started. Then the champion, by deep driving and short chopping, took five games in a row. Johnston then won the next four games and Tilden took the succeeding two and the set. In the seventh game Tilden was able to pass Johnston. who took the net four times for sure placements.
 Tilden apparently slowed up in the third, which went to Johnston. e-I Before Tilden, who could not find the lines. became steady, the little westerner took five games. The customer then secured his only game of this set and Johnston ran out the winning game.
 Johnston was unbeatable in the final set. Tilden tried hard to pass him, but the westerner put the ball down opposite side lines and cross- courted Tilden many times.
 The first, second and sixth games of the set were won without Tflden obtaining a point. Johnston played all over the court and his drives from back court landed just inside Tilden's lines for placements.
