M. A. KENNEDY LOSES
 AFTER GREAT SCRAP
Bartlett And Warren Upset With Win From
 Brookes And Lange; Murray Wins

finally measured the barrier and made the score 5-2, his favor.
 But 1t had been. fatal victory. Tn yisibly poorer shape than Simpson, he had given all. In the eighth battle, he victory, but it failed when Simpson forced him into backhand exchanges. This was Kennedy's sore spot all aft ernoon and Simpson here gouged it like a knife writhcs in an open wound. Simp- sons probably only serious error in gen. eralship was his failure properly to utilize this advantage, for his antagon- ist was off color at it all afternoon. However, Simpson cashed in on it when it was most essential, winning three games to even the set, then overpower- ing the opposition in the last two games by brute strength and finer condition.
 The amazing victory of the oldsters, Bartlett and Warren, had the whole gallery abuzz, possibly overshadowing the more important match in appeal to the spectators. The astonishing staying power of the winners was the largest factor in their win.
 Lee Allen Brookes was in far from his standard form, and in the last set he threw away several games on inac- curacy. The. grim defense battle of the veterans finally wore through, Brookes and Lange, the lengthy second set, which went through 22 games, break ing the latter's morale and weakening them physically. Bartlett played the best tennis of the four and carried the major offensive burden.
 
 ist, also paid dearly for his lack of con- dition when Jack Mooney, little At lanta brilliant, came back after drop ping furiously contested first set and beat him 6-1, GA. Newton went all to pieces in the second set, just as Mooney struck the top peak of his play. In the third chukker Newton dug in and fought splendid losing battle, but his service, which had been his principal weapon of attack, suddenly failed him and its loss was disastrous. This was largely instrumental in the loss of three games. t,.
 Dan Murray now placed as the ia. vorite to grab the singles title, went through Bob Young, of Montgomery. like prairie fire, winning six love, 6-1. In the only other match of the day. Newton and Huggins completed, in the first Wednesday struggle, their post poned embroglio of the day before. New ton won, 7-5, 7-5, after great fight. only to lose later.
 Today's card, will feature the first morning play of the tournament when Murray and Newton clash with Hess and Kennedy. This should be a highly worthwhile setto and is expected to draw a large crowd. Nabers and Allison will likely meet Warren and Bartlett at the same time, though this match may not be played until the afternoon,
 The big singles feature is scheduled for 4 80 when Dan Murray and Jack Mooney are scheduled. Jacx Simpson will play the winner of the Brookes- Hess match, also slated for today, pro- vided the latter is not too tired to play again the same afternoon. All semi finals will be played in five set matches.

EARL SANDE INJURED
 IN RACE SMASH-UP
Premier Jockey May Not Be Able To Race
 Again-Three Others Hurt

SARATOGA, N. r., Aug. 6.-In a general scrimmage that sent four horses and their riders tumbling to the loam of Saratoga track in a cloud of brown dust, Earl Sande, America's best jock ey and one of the greatest little helms men that ever tossed leg over the ridge of race horse, was so badly hurt that he may never be able to ride in another race.
 Three other jockeys, Johnny Dawson, Dishmon and German, also were in iured. Dawson appeared to be worse off than the rest for he was a long time regaining consciousness. Sande's left leg was smashed in two places, one hip was injured, he had cuts on the face from the steel cleats on the hoofs that trampled him and there was a pos sibility of internal hurts of a serious nature.
 DisIin1on OK.
 Dishmon was up in a few minutes and did not seem to be in very bad shape.
 The crowd swept out of the stands and down the track, ignoring the out come of the race which was the first one on the days program as the dust cloud slowly unfolded, revealing the rumpled little figures of the riders in their gay silks now stained with blood and dirt and the riderless horses scram- bling back to their legs.
 Sande, who is married to the daugh- ter of sam Hildreth, trainer for the millionaire oil man, Harry Sinclair. opened his eyes in the ambulance and called to his wife, who was pursuing

PARTY CENTERS
 ON FIVE STATES
Republican Senatorial Campaign Will Seek
 Six Seats
(By Associated Press)

/ CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-Heavy fire in the republican senatorial campaign will center in five states, in which six seats will be at stake in the November cleo tions.
 Senator Moses of New Hampshire. chairman of the senatorial committee told today of the tentative of plans he has outlined after conference here with republican leaders in the star states which are expected to develop the prin- cipal contests in the scramble for 33 seats to be filled this year.
 The most aggressive campaigns, Sen atOr Moses stated, would naturally be in certain states in which democratic members are standing for reelection Hence, he adds, the senatorial shock troops will be hurled against the bivou. acs of Senators Walsh of Montana and Walsh of Massachusetts, Stanley of Kentucky, Owen of 7 Oklahoma and Adams of Colorado. In the latter state, the attack on the democratic seat will be consolidated with the campaign in behalf of Senator Phipps, republican, whose term expires in March.
 Seventeen republican sberths, most OL LnCm HI luC US-UAlSStSSlUDI Ie- zion, are to be filled. The democratic class numbers fifteen, ten of which are from states in the solid south" in which the republican contest will be without national direction.
 Among the republicans whose terms expire are Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa, Capper of Kansas, Couzehs of Michigan, McNary of Oregon, Norris of Nebraska and Sterling of South Da- kota. In all of these states, and others which are considered assured to re- publican candidates. Senator Moses pre- dicted re-elections or the naming of re- publican successors.
 Republican leaders in Illinois and adjoining states were without word to- day that John T. Adams, former chair man of the national committee, would be a candidate on an independent ticket against Senator Brookhart.

Checked at the end by superior en-. durance, his quiver emptied of it's every arrow, M. A. Mutt Kennedy, of At lanta, finally broke yesterday before the consistent brilliancy of the game displayed by Jack Simpson, his fellow townsman, losing 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 in a match unequalled thus far in the Cot. ton States meet for sheer spectacularity. Jack Mooney, the other Atlanta star remaining, won through in another great battle against Mills Newton, after the latter New Orleans luminary had taken the first set. The score was 4-6, 6-1, 621. Perhaps the biggest upset of the tour ney was furnished when Bill Bartlett and Will Warren conquered Brookes and Lange in the only doubles match of the day, a terrific marathon whose score. was 6-8, 12-1O, 6-2.
 Kennedy and Simpson opened in rath- CT desultory fashion, each working along smoothly, conservatively, waiting for openings. They won their respective serves through the first four games in easy fashion, then Simpson went mo- mentartly wild on the fifth, being forced several times into awkward shooting po- sitions, and lost his service game. That vas the turning point of the set, for Kennedy spurted and took three of tue next four on clearly superior volleying.
 simpson had been over confident on his long range work, apparently, and was losing persistently on the rafting like exchanges. Instead of easing up however, and edging gradually back into chancy play, he merely pressed harder, taking all sorts of chances; and this bearing down process worked remark ably we'll, for he swept back into his stride, met Kennedy's thrust in full career and bore it back by flawless, smashing to dash triumphantly through the first three games of the second set.
 Here kennedy's tide again flowed high, for he broke loose on another streak of the sort that characterized this whole set. Finding his slams and crashes increasingly ineffective, Sinp- son attempted to change pace and lob, but he was way off here, tossing away point after point every time he attempted the floaters.
 Before he could at last halt this im- petuous rush, he was on the short end of 4-S count in the set, witi his back against the wall. Here his service. which mad been rather uncertain, suddenly re. turned from wherever it had been graz ing, and he in turn shot like comet through three straight games to even tne match. His nasty nnazurka service was kicking like Ann Pennington on n first night, and several times he,,won aces when Kennedy couldn't touch if.
 After brief rest, they went to it again, both evidently worn with the strain, and much more cratic fhan far merly. They repeated their first set stunt on the initial quartet, the connf standing at two all. Kennedy then slipped into his earlier locomotive mace and took the next two. in easy styl.. On the fifth game, the pivot -of 5tl,at whole match and possibly of the tourna. ment, both Nere frayed7 to the Iimit. stralnins with painful anxiety fof the precious points. After going through 10 heartrending deuce counts. Kennedy

AMERICAN TEAM

Dan Cupid Wins Many Victories Among Olyrn-
 pic Athletes

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Capt. Will liam Rand of the steamship America which took the American Olympic team of boys and girls to France and landed them back in New York Wednesday, has good eyes and he knows enough about the habits of moon-sick Voy- agers to recognize love when he sees it. He saw a lot of 1t, too, and when the. main body of POT athletes had gall loped down the gangplanks of his vessel Wednesday aftrenoon, accom- panied by their coaches, trainers and chaperones, he told what he saw.
 Lord man." said the captain, "I never saw such billing and cooing in my life. If there aren't from 25 to 50 romances in this team, I'm way off my course"
 More Than Gossip.
 There seemed to be more than fo'cas- tie gossip in the observations of the captain of the America. For there was Betty Becker of Philadelphia, straight and slim and graceful in her white serge uniform with the American shield on her bosom, wearing an en- gagement ring on the proper finger. Clarence Pinkston of California, was nominated informally by other mem- bers of the team as the man who had put t there by the light of the moon on one of the soft nights at sea. Betty won the springboard diving competi- tions and Pinkston, also is swimmer, having won the fancy diving title in 1920.
 And there was Agnes Garraghty of New York, with a solitaire diamond on the same finger. The girls giggled when Agnes was asked to name the man. She said it wasn't an engagement ring at all but just a ring-you know, a diamond ring.
 There was some tiftering about Tom

TWO BILLS SURE
 OF MAKING TEAM
Tilden And Johnston Have Berths On Walker Team Cinched

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The tive bills-Tilden and Johnston--are sure of their places on the American team which is to defend the Davis cup this year, but there are seven players who have a chance to land the other two positions. The United States Lawn Tennis association announced Wednes- day that Tilden and Johnston would be the real stalwarts of the defense, and added that the other members of the squad would be selected after the national doubles championship in Bos- ton, which ends August 2S.. The seven eligible for the other two jobs are Vim cent Richards, Francis F. Hunter, R. N. Williams, Watson Washburn, How ard Kinsey, Robert Kinsey and c. J.. Griffin.
 This year, out of respect for Tilden's sharp rebuke to the committee during his literary controversy last winter, the entire squAd will be made aware of the nominations far enough in ad- vance of the cup defense to enable them to practice together
 There was no doubt that Tilden and Johnson would qualify as they are be- yond doubt the best singles players in the land and had been on the team since 1920.

 The exact cause of tine spil. could not be seen from the stands hut the judges disqualified Scnor, Ridden by Benny Marinelli, which finished in third place. Thus, in the judgment of the officials. at least, Marinelli was held responsible for the smashup. He was suspended for ten days and the slspeD. sion may be increased.
 Two Year-Old Race
 The race was 51a furling claiming race for two-year-olds. Sande was aboard James Buffers Spurt and was running in second place about two lengths astern of Bother. which event ually won the race. It appeared that Spurt stumbled. As Sande rolled in the dirt, Scmpter, with German up, stumbled over him and went down, too.
