VETS LOSE DOUBLES
Jester and Barr Win at Dallas From
Adoue and Hogue.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 13.-John Barr

Adoue Jr., and Bradley Hogue in the
Southwestern doubles final match
here Sunday, 6-3. SO, GA, rs. All
of the players are of Dallas.
The championship match was that
of youth vieing against veteran abil-
ity. Hogue and Jester won the
Southwestern championship last year
and have played together in many
tournaments. Jester and Barr playe
their first championship doubles Sun
day and were nervous at times.

AdOue and Hogue played together
well, but Adoue carried the brunt Of
the match. Hogue was not up TO his
standard of play, although occasion
ally he flashed streaks of great
tennis, notably in the final set when
his work at the net on Adoue's SER
vice was responsible for frequent
points.
The Southwestern tournament will
be concluded Monday with the single
finals in which Jester meets F.
Mizukami of Dallas. Mizukami is
one of the surprises of the tourna-
ment. The Japanese was little heard

WORD FOR DANFORTH
Bill Friel Says Pitcher Not Guilty Of
"Doctorirg" the Hor,el,ido.

st. Louis, No., Aug. 13.-Business
Manager Billy Fried of the local Amer
lean League team returned from the
East yesterday with a strong defense
for Dave Danforth, whose ten-day sus-
pension on charge of discoloring a
pitched ball expired Saturday after
noon. Friel asserted he had seen two
of three balls which the umpire had
retained as evidence for the chars A
made against Danforth.
Neither ball." said Friel, Showed
any signs of having been tempered
with. They were slightly discolored,
but / believe the discoloration was due
to the ordinary handling of the ball
during the game. I am convinced that
DanfOrth is pitching strictly within
the laws of organized baseball"
Friel added that Jimmy Austin, who
was appointed successor of Lee A.
Foil following the latter's release by
Philip De c. Ball. principal owner Of
the team. would most likely retain his
managerial position for the rest of the
season, provided he was successful as
leader Of the team.
Friel denied that dissension among
the members of the team caused its re-
cent slump while on its road trip. The
breaks we:, just against the team, he
said. and with any kind of luck the
Browns would not have lost more thar
few games on that Zip. he said.

Basebalrs greatest home-run hitter,
Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees,
today leads the American League in
batting by a tiny fraction in spite oil
his teams defeat yesterday by the De-
troit Tigers, D to =.
incidentally, despite the defeat, the
Yankees rounded out the week with
such a lead in the American League
averages that little less than mir
acle could prevent their pennant vic
tory.
Although the New York Giants also
lost. the experts generally agree that
National League rivals have small
chance to tear them from the top. So
another world series combat looks
pretty safe for New York this fall.
Ruth. by hammering out a homer,
double and single. lacked up his
batting average to .3)304. lnasmuch
as Harry Heilmann, the Detroit slug
ger, was out of the game with a
strained tendon. Ruth took the league
batting lead away from him. He'll
mann's average is 1887. Ruth's home
run was his twenty-ninth of the sea-
son. putting him even with Cy Will
liams of the Philadelphia Nationals.
The Giants lost to the st. Louis
Nationals on the Cardinal field, 3 to
=. 1t was the closing game of their
| western trip. The New Workers drop
ped three out of five to the Cardinals,
the only series they lost on the latest
invasion.

on the part of Dazzy Vance ant

the first game scored his tenth vic
tory and struck out ten men, while
Grimes in the second contest allowed
Pittsburg but three hits, two of then
being of the scratch variety.

WAIT ANGoRA ORDER.
American Engineer Party Delayed
in Constantinople.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1923.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 5.-The
American engineers who were forced
to leave their train at the Turkish
frontier in eastern Thrace the other
day have arrived in Constantinople,
but will be unable to leave here for
their destination in Russia until they
Angora. According to the British
liaison officer in Adrianople. several
Americans are still stranded In
'rhrace. and will probably return to
Sofia and there await permission TO
enter Turkish territory.
Life for foreigners in CONSTANT
nople is becoming increasingly dim
cult on account of the many restric-
tions imposed by the Angora govern
ment which seems to wantAin that
way to force all foreigners to leave
the country. The latest of these re-
strictive regulations was issued to-
day, when telephone subscribers were
informed that. henceforth the serv-
ice will be suspended completely on
Fridays.
The principal sufferers from these
restrictive orders thus far have been
Americans. neutrals and the nationals
of small allied countries. The British.
French and Italians, whose govern
ments maintain troops here, are free
from the arbitrary acts of the An
CORA government. Though the gov
eminent at Washington has not yet
recognized the abolition of the capt.
ulations. American firms here are
compelled to submit to all the Turk
ish regulations and to pay income and
other taxes that are demanded.
British. French and Italian firms here
are still exempt from these taxes and
are permitted to carry on as before.
The Standard Oil and American To-
bacco Company officials have an
nounced that henceforth their local
Offices will be closed on Fridays. The
taxes paid by Standard Oil are now
one of the main assets of the Turk
ish treasury.
American missionaries are more
handicapped than others, since they
are not allowed by the Angora gov
eminent to return to their stations,
but are all in Constantinople await
ing the conclusion of peace and hop
ing that their government will make
arrangements to safeguard their
large interests.
According to missionaries recently
arrived from the interior, most of the
American hospitals have been closed.
Turkish authorities pride themselves
that they can do whatever they like
with Americans. and recently started
inspecting vessels of the Amer an
Navy.
