LONG POSSES
 ELROD TO WIN

REFORM, Ala, August 27.-(Spe- cial.) .)-Featured by five fast double plays, the fast Elrod team trounced the Oneonta aggregation on the Carroll ton diamond Monday afternoon in the first game of the st.ies, 9 to l.
 Long, University of Alabama Rat moundsman, twirling for Elrod, held the north Alabamians at his. mercy throughout, allowing only seven well sep. arated hits, and was invincible in the pinches. A long circuit drive to deep center by DonahoO in the third saved the visitors from a shoutout. Snake Bains, Howard ace, was hit hard with men on bases. although he gave up only nine hits, these being punched with the eight passed to first. 0neonta gave Bains poor support, while the tossers from Elrod fielded sensationally.
 The game was also featured by three long home runs, one each by Tatum and c. Hopper for Elrod and Donahoo for the losers. The fielding of Goat Hale and Andy Reese for Elrod was easily the fielding feature of the day.

FINDLEY OUT FOR BLOOD

|, LOUISVILLE, Ky, August 27.- Especial. )-The news that Johnny Me Ginty believes he will defeat Jimmy Finley is, taken lightly among Louisville ring fans after Finley demonstrated that he has lost none of his ability in his defeat of Joe Anderson of CoYing- ton here Monday night, Finley, even though he did not fight his best, easily took the decision in the minds of the majority of sport writers who witnessed the fight. Blinded in the second round by poke from Anderson's elbow, Fin ley almost had his man out in the eighth round, and the only thing that prevents FinleyT frpms~vbeing 4uro- claimed welter champion ufsthe eouth is the Kentucky boxing law which. pro hibits the award of decisions.
 In defeating Anderson, Jimmy took the measure of the man who stopped Pinkey Mitchell in the eighth round of a feature bout held, at Cincinnati three weeks ago, and who defeated Tin Droney, the Philadelphia welter. Fin ley has opened ia boxing school in Louisville for youngsters, but still has found time to workout strenuously each day in preparation for his bout with McGinty Monday night. He is confident of winning, and has prom ised the ring fans of Birmingham that he will do his best to take the meas ure of ther Irishman. Jack Dillon, who. fought McGinty in Birmingham last Monday, has returned to his native gymnasium and is giving Finley point CTS as to defense, against the Birming- ham boxer Finley intends to leave Louisville, Saturday.

FRIENDLY BETS
 .LEGAL---RULING

ATLANTA, August 27.-What's a little bet between friends? Nothing, the baseball fans at Spiller's park thought; terrible, according to off cers who arrested five of the bettors.
 The Georgia law against betting, however, seemed to agree with the bet tors. Or, so said Councilman James l.. Wells, acting recorder, Wednesday, when he. dismissed charges against five friends" The state and city laws do not prohibit Friendly" betting, he de- clared. Only bets made as a means of livlihOod are illegal, according to his ruling.
 And the five defendants, 1t appears, were most certainly not betting for . living. "Just a friendly little affair" !" they told the recorder when appraised of the law.

FOREIGN FOES FALL
 IN TENNIS. TOURNEY
Tilden Spanks Sraniard; Jack Caldwell Beaten;
 Wood Loses In Upset

Gorbault of France, removed half of Frances representation of the tourna- ment
 Jap And Chinh Beaten
 John Hennessy of Indianapolis elim- mated two other foreign threats when he disposed of Takichi Harada, Japa- nese national champion, in five-set battle, and then conquered Paul Kong of China's Davis cup team, in straight sets.
 Willard Croker of Canada, the re- maining invader to go out was victim of George Lott, Chicago holder of the national junior championship, who won in straigf tsets.
 Tilden's most formidable rivals ap- pear to be the veteran Californian, Will liam NJ. Johnston, Vincent Richards, youthful Olympic champion. and Gerald Patterson, hard-driving Australian Davis cup captain.
 Johnston In Form
 Johnston displayed all the old time power of his famous forehand drive today in vancuishing Schlesinger, while Patterson, after encountering some diff ficulty and losing 8 set to Paul Mar tin of New York, gained his second straight victory of the day impressively against Gerbault of the French forces. Richards did not get into action.
 Among the other remaining outstand- ing performers, Francis T. Hunter ex- perienced difficulty putting out col legian, Fritz Mercur, but Rene La coste of France demonstrated that he may be more formidable than his com patriot, Borotra, by eliminating John Caldwell of Atlanta in straight sets.
 Tilden, however, despite the streaks of wiIdness, was complete master of Alonzo. He chased his agile rival from side to side with whistling forehead and backhand shots and smothered the Spaniard whenever he cut loose the full battery of his strokes.
 Al0nxO Scares Crowd
 AIonzo stirred excitement when he ran off the first four games of the fourth set and seemed about to square the match. but Tilden, with a charac- teristic spurt, overwhelmed the Spani- ard with an assortment of shots that gave him six straight games, the set and the match.
 Tomorrow Tilden will face the for mer intercollegiate champion, Lucien William of Chicago, in the third round. Johnston's next opponent will be Wray Brown of St. Louis, Missouri state champion, who today eliminated Howard VosheIl, New York veteran, and Pat terson will play Washburn in the fourth round.

END OF SEASON
 FOR HARTSELLE

HARTSELLE, Ala, August 27.-- Especial. )-For the past three days Hartselle has played ball with Athens, these games were played in Athens, and will be the last games this season for the Hartselle team. Haftselle can boast of the best team she has ever had, due to the splendid management of F. Burleson and l.. G. Gulley.
 The results for the three games are Wednesday, Hartselle 4, Athens q; Friday, Hartselle 4, Athens 4. Thirteen innings were played, but the tie re- mained. The game was called because it became too dark to play. Saturday, Hartselle 4, Athens 5.
 This gives Athens the lead by one game this season. The two teams have been running neck and neck all sea- son, and have played some splendid games.

FOREST HILLS, N. f., August 27. (By Associated Press. )-William T. Tilden, began the defense of his na- tiofial tennis crown today by yanQuish- ing his spectacular Spanish rival, Manuel Alonzo, but the series of startling upsets that has struck the ranks of his charlengefs sincs the tournament opened continued to mark the downfall of favorities in the most thrilling battle in history for the American singles laurels.
 While the tall Philadelphian, four times champion, put his colorful Span' .ish opponent to route in four sets, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, two of his other rivals Pat O'Hara Wood, brilliant Australian veteran, and Harvey Sncdgrass, Los Angeles star, were eliminateds and two other seeded players, Howard Kinsey of San Francisco and Jean BorotrA, French holder of the Wimbledon crown, escaped, defeat by the narrowest of margins.
 Woods Less Upset
 Woods downfall at the ahands of Kirk Reid of Cleveland, former Cornell crack, in five sets 2-6; so; 7-6, 4-0, 11-9, was the biggest reversal of the day. x
 Enodgrass, No. 9, in the national ranking, went down before. the steady play of Watson WashbIrn, New York veteran, who added the second first ten" scalp, to his belt when he disposed of the Californian, 2-6, GA, 6-1, 6-2.
 Scarcely less sensational. than these were the close calls experienced by Bor- otra and Kinsey. The French star met an unexpected tartar in p. w. Fei- bleman of New York, and appeared headed for. defeat because of xhis cratic play when his youthful rival wilted in the fifth set. Borotra pulled out the match by. scores of 6-3, 6-S, SIS. 3l6, 7-5. Klnsey RaIlies@
 i Kinsey likewise asratched victory from defeat when he staged sudden rally in the fourth set against George King of New York, who. was within two points of triumph. The Californian swept King back to square, the match and then raced through the final set . to. win, 1-8, 6-4, 7-9, S-8,. 6-3.
 The ranks of foreign stars were es- { eneeialIy hard hit by the days play, eight being eliminated altogether, while the American aces with few, exceptions, flashed forward.
 Beside the defeat of Wood, two of his remaining three Australian Davis cup team mates, R. B. Schlesinger and F. E. Kalnas, were eliminated and the defeats of Jacques Brugnonh and Alain

JOLTIN' JIMMY .
 BUSY BATTLER
McGinty To Take Off Five Pounds During
 Week

Jimmy Finley counts that week lost, ,'tis said, in which he feeds nc punches to a fellows head.
 And if Jimmy just fought once a week he would have only 52 fights to his credit during the course of a year's run. But, upon occasion, Jimmy , fights two and some times three fights a week. This is to be just an aver age week for Mir. Finley. He fought and won over Joe Anderson, the Gin cinnati boy, in Louisville Monday night, beating him decisively. Joe was touted by the wiseacres to beat Finley, hence the Kentucky y-Alabama-F Floridan booked only one ring engagement.
 He also saw to it, that he has, but one scrap next week, this to come on Moday night at the Birmingham Athletic club when he meets Johnny McGinty in ten rounds of milling. Jimmy looks on Johnny as a tough bird, too, and he figures ten. rounds of stepping with the Irishman will suffice for one weeks work.
 McGinty, who sails under the eolors of Billy Gibson now, hasn't fought as many battles in year as has Jimmy, but he has equalled Jimmy's mark for weeks work. Here some several months ago McGinty disposed of At lanta's entire crop of welterweights, meeting 'em on. alternate nights.
 < The Irishman is thoroughly enjoy ing his stay at home, even if he has to keep pretty busy in prepara. tion for the biggest battle of his life, Johnny is working off about a pound a day through grilling process of sparring, rope jumping and road work He figures he will be five pounds lighter in his go against McGinty than he was when he faced Young Dillon a few nights ago. .-..
 It is expected that Finley, having finished up his scrap-work at Louis. vile, will come on into Birmingham either today or tomorrow, and will top off his training at the Athletic here
