 A lone score, tainted score, in the sixth inning decided beautiful pitching duel between McGrew and Edward Wells, left-handed Baron. McGrew gave up four hits and the on balls proved the way for the lone score. Padgett walked to start the sixth inning. Camp sacrificed him to second. Herman hoisted out on a foul to third base. Lapan hit a grounder straight at Hartford, who let the ball roll through him Into left field and allowing Padgett to score, from second Lapan continued on to second, but Wells struck out Taylor

As the season is nearing n close in the Southern association, the leadin S hitters become more and more con gested, and worries have begun to beset the leaders.
 TIuhn of Mobile. all by himself at the top of the column for weeks, Is being nudged by others. Huhn has been hitting the toboggan at a fear ful rate the last few days. while Her man of Memphis has been gradually crawling up. Huhn has lost 10 points during the week, now having to be content with an average of .S4S. One point away Is Herman, while Bernsen of Nashville and his team-mate Hawks are not far away.
 There have been switches among the leaders almost every day, al- though the pacemakers have been in & bunch most of the time. The dis turbances have been confined to Her man, Bernsen. K. and D.

He drove with re- lentless force. played with 6 care and accuracy that was uncanny, wore his opponent ragged with long, cross court shots, and then out prevented the Californian from exercising his forehRnded driving shots. The match lacked all the clements of Tilden' s triumph over Manuel A1onzo, the Spanish champion, on Thursday when .Tilden's play was sclntllating in it's variety diA0 lOECG. l ne CDdIQUlOH udu in mind the outcome of last years match, when through his slow Htart- ing, Johnston won two successive sets and was we'll on the way to a third before Tilden gained command of the situation.
 Today Tilden did not spare his rival. His flashy play was displaced by methodical, careful and scru- pulously exact style of play.

UNIVERSITY HIGH
 STARTS PRACTICE ON GRID MONDAY
Coach Caldwell Of s. P. U. Is Added To New High School
 Faculty

Football practice for the University High school will begin on Avondale field Monday afternoon, the day of the opening of the new school, and a farily large number of candidates are expected to greet Coach George Rey- holds in the initial workout.
 A large number of students have been registered at the new institu- ton during the past week, some who seem likely candidates for berths on the rrldiron combination. How ever, 8 good line on the new material from which the first team to repre- sent the University High school in athletic competition will be selected will not be known until the first prac- tice session Monday. It Is expected that the team will be light, but hay ing some speed.
 Coach S. c. Caldwell, who starred on football, basketball and baseball teams at tho Southwestern Presby- terian university. has been added to the faculty of the University High school, and will aid Coach Reynolds in coaching athletics. Caldwell played football for three years at s. P. U. and performed on the basketball and baseball outfits for two years. He will be a big help in moulding the first gridiron machine to take the field for the University High school. Coach Caldwell will be on hand for the initial workout Monday after noon.
 The Avondaie field, which has been obtained for practice for the Univer- sity High team Is in fine shape for gridiron workouts, and the pigSkin aspirsnts will have plenty of space to get into shape for tho football campaign.
 The first game Or the season will probably find Fairfield High as op- ponents on October 5. leaving three weeks in which to whip the new ma terial into shape. It will probably take at least this much time. as all the candidates for the eleven will be new In the high school football, none of them having ever prformd on a prp outfit
 Simpson High will be the second team on the University High schedule, taking place October 12 at Avondale field. The Junior Partners will probably be the strongest team which the new school will have on its sched- ule. coming right at the first of tho season.
