McGraw Outfit Win Double Header When It Counts Most - Marberry Pulls Senat- ors From Hole After One Is Lost.

New York, Sept. 1.-The waters of the flood have receded and the Giants ark rests peacefully today upon the tepmost hill of the Ma tional league. Giant rooters, out on deck, predict fair sailing for the rest of the season.
 But as the Harlem Falls the Po- tomac rises and threatens to float Washington off the dry dock occu- pied for the greater part of four seasons by the world champion Yankees.
 A dove bearing a double branch of victory came to John McGraw yesterday and before the day was over the National league champions had strengthened their position in first place to one full game and the Braves were drowned under 22 to 1 and 8 to 1 waterfalls The Giant total in the first contest established a major league record for the sea son.
 In the first game. as though freed from long confinement, the Giants ganbeled and cavorted. Frank Frisch got six consecutive hits and narrowly escaped tying the seven straight record made by Wilbert Robinson in 1894.
 Emil Meusel celebrated his return from the bench with five hits. Hank Gowdy, Friseh and Young swung for the circuit. In both battles the winners made 36 hits for 56 bases. McQuillan allowed the Braves only four blows in the second and Barnes and Huntzinser held them to seven in the first.
 Brooklyn sailed smoothly as Ear hardt won his fifth straight game, allowing Philadelphia only five hits in the to Robin victory. But the double win. of the Giants per- mitted them to\draw another half game away from the Robins. Stock fielded brilliantly.
 The veteran Babe Adams repaired the broken boom of the Pirate ship and steered it safely from the tur- bulent waters of the Mississippi with a to victory after allowing the Cards only five hits. The Reds ham, rnered Jacobs and Keen in the first innings for all of their runs in the to win over Chicago. Donohue pitched well.
 Rain continued to fall in Boston, keeping the Yankees idle, but Hug gins watched Washington rock in a storm at Philadelphia. The league leaders retained their advantage of one and one-half games over New York, but sprung a leak which re- suited in the loss of the first game, ? to 1. Heroic work at the pumps by Msrberry won the second 6 to 5 after Mogridge weakened in the ninth and left the winning run on base. Gray puzzled the Senators ir the first
 Detroits winning streak of seven games was interrupted by the White Sox who slammed five pitchers fol 19 hits and 12 to 8 victory Thurston held the Tygers although hit freely.

Preparing for International Matches Starting Tomorrow

New York, Sept. 11.--Members of the British and American teams are at the Garden City links practicing for matches, beginning tomorrow, which will decide the years interna- tional team supremacy in golf, with the cup donated by George H. Walker of St. Louis as the prize.
 In response to call by Robert A. Gardner of Chicago, for the American team to report yesterday, eight of the 10 members appeared. The absentees were Chick Evans of Chicago and Jess Sweetser of New York. Sweetser sent word that he would appear today, and Evans also is expected to be on hand.
 Dr. 0. F. Willing of Portland, Ore, the sensation of last years matches, went out on the course be- fore daybreak by himself getting the ranger of various holes and prac- Using pitches to the heavily trapped greens, which Francis Ouimet thinks will be the deciding factor in the match, as the Americans are prone to the pitch shot in contrast with the run-up of the British.
 Later Dr. Willing and w. c. Fownes of Pittsburgh played a prac- tice round with Jesse Guilford of Boston and Bobby Jones of Atlanta. Jones had trouble getting the touch of the greens. He appeared with a set of shallow-faced wooden clubs in contrast to the straight faced bludg- cons he was last seen with in the north.
 Max R. Marston of Philadelphia, national champion, and Jimmy Johnston Of St. Paul, western cham pion, played mixed foursome with Miss Edith Cummings of Chicago and Mrs. Quentin F. Feitner of New York.
 After practice at Garden City in the morning the British team went over to the nearby Cherry Valley links They have decided not to ac. cept invitations to the Wills Firpo fight tonight lest they have made quate sleep before the matches be. gin tomorrow.
 Four two-ball foursomes will be played tomorrow and eight two somes Saturday, all at 36 holes.

DAVIS CUP TENNIS SINGLES STARTED
Combination of Last Four Years
 Broken Up

Philadelphia, Sept. ,11.--America today begins a new chapter in its lawn tennis history when with the breaking up of it's successful combi- nation of the last four years 1t seeks to resist the efforts of the challeng- ing Australians 10 carry away the Davis cup, symbol of international team supremacy.
 Tennis experts gathered from all sections of the country at the Ger mantown Cricket club, where the two singles matches opening the challenge round will be played this afternoon, regard the supplanting in the singles of William M. Johnston, of California, the veteran teammate of William T. Tilden, national cham pion, by the youthful Vincent Rich ards, of New York, not merely as the result of the outcome of this years play but also as bit of forehand- edness. The experts, pointing to Richards paying record, including victories in the Olympic singles and doubles, a triumph over Johnston in the East West matches and five set battle with Tilden, and empha- sizing the difference of about ten years in his age and that of Tilden and Johnston, professed to see the beginning of the setting up of Amer ica's future machinery for defense of the famous Davis trophy.
 Eighth Meeting.
 This will be the eighth time that Australia and the United States have met in the Davis cup challenge round since the trophy was donated by Dwight F. Davis in 1900, Aus tralia winning four times and America three. Gerald L. Patterson, captain of the Australian team, and Pat O'Hara Wood, will play in both the singles and doubles for the chal- lengers. In the singles today Patter- son meets Tilden at 2:30 p. m. in the opening match, while O'Hara Wood and Richards meet at the conclusion of this contestI Conditions Not Too Good. Prospects for good playing con- ditions were not encouraging. The courts. protected from recent rains by waterproof coverings, were re- ported in good shape, but the weath- CT this morning was unseasonably cold and strong wind was blowing from the southwest. Defenders and challengers were on the courts yes terday for final workouts and all were reported in good form.
 Four singles and one doubles match will be played, the cup going to the winner of three contests. The doubles, in which Tilden and Johns- ton will meet Patterson and O'Hara Wood will be played tomorrow and the other two singles on Saturday. Five matches will be played regard less of whether either team wins three straight. George w.. Wight man will be the referee.
 America has successfully def0nd- ed the coveted prize since it was re- captured from Australia in 1920. twice against Australia and once against Japan. In all this country has won the cup seven times and Australia six.
