most interesting in years.
N Various things have put
more competition into the sport.
One Is not so sure this year that
Tilden will be the national cham
pion again. 1t is far from certain
\ that the United States Davis Cup
team can retain the international
trophy. 'e'AHetSsssNs
A new women's champion will
be decided at Forest Hills this
week since the withdrawal of
Helen Wills. There is uncertainty
everywhere in the tennis realm.
There Is doubt as to whether 1t
will be Bill Johnston or Winnie
Richards, who will play in the
Davis Cup singles against the
French who are certain OPP
pOnents.
Molla Nallory's victory over
Elizabeth Ryan upset the dope in
the southern Now York State tour
ney. Tennis experts were figuring
on Miss Ryan as the winner of the
national crown even before Miss
Wills withdrew.
They reckoned without Mrs.
Mallory, however. The swarthy
Morse woman seems at the peak
Of her game with defeats of
n Miss Wills and Miss Ryan speak
~ ink volumes as to the power OF
the veteran who is staging a
rather sensational comeback.
And what about Big Bill. Just
as every one started shaking their
heads and saying, sadly, "Bill is
through, too much theater and not
enough tennis" up bobs the champ
with a victory over Richards on
Sunday.
According to reports Tilden
was his old self. He did not loaf
but went after everything. Bill
probably wanted to see just
what he could do. Maybe Bill
isn't through, after all.
1t is just another interesting
angle to a tennis situation that
for suspense and thrills and uncer-
tainty has been unsurpassed in
many seasons.
Seth Klein watched the bir-
die" so closely at the IndianapO-
lis Gun Club trapshOot Saturday
that he never missed. A "pos-
sible" score Of 100 was the re-
suit. Seth withstoOd the shock
very well. He sells shock abb
sorbers.
Jean Under, a 50-year-old ath-
lete from Switzerland, won the
5f3-mi1e walk from Paris to
Strasbourg. He probably had one
of those SsSS-;sn movements, guar
anteed for fifty years.
Bell and Quick Of Texas won
the national junior duobles title
at Chicago Sunday. Bell rung
D up most of the points while
, Quick hurried here and there
over the court, helping out.
T doesn't matter how long
the diamond veterans hang
~ on. Even the most durable
must finally sit on the bench and
watch others take their places.
In the Detroit Chicago series Ty
Cobb, as boss of the Tigers, looks
on as Manush patrols center field.
He is playing great ball, but there
is only one Ty Cobb.
Eddie Collins watches Hume
field cavort around second. The
Pacific coast inf1elder appears to
be a find. But there is only one
Eddie Collins.
Father Time goes marching on.
But even he cannot erase the
names Of some Of baseball's he
roes. He can keep the veterans
off the diamond, but he cannot
erase their names from baseball's
hall of fame.

BIZ Times Special
MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 16.-The In
dams still have a chance to get an
even break with the smuggling Brew
ers in the current series at Athletic
Park, but it's only a slender chance.
The locals already have won two
games, to Z, Saturday, and to 8,
Sunday. and they still have Dave
Danforth, dazzling southpaw, to
shoot at the Bushmen. Dave was
slated to hurl the third of the series
today, with either Wisner, Henry
Or Faeth on the Tribe mound.
Manager Bush spent a dizzy week
end. He saw both of his ace right
handlers, Hill and Burwell, defeated.
The Indians lost the Saturday fray
in the field, ten-inning affair, but
on Sunday, Bunny Brief ticlSled
10000 Brewer fans by parking the
ball over the left field fence in the
eighth inning TO beat Burwell. One
Brewer was on base when Bunny
smacked his~homer, his sixteenth of
the season.
Charlie Robertson pitched for
Milwaukee, Sunday, and held the
Tribesmen to five hits. Ralph Miller
drove in the three indianapolis runs.
He pOled home run with the bases
unoccupied and drove two other
mates home with sacrifice fly balls.
Reb Russell and George Fisher,
the Indians key" swatsmen, failed
to solve Robertson's delivery and
went hitless. Russell also went hit
less Saturday.
The Colonies broke even in
double-header at Kansas City Sunday
and today were only one game and
half ahead Of the Brewers.
The Indians have lost four games
in a row and are losing ground rap
idly. It's necessary to stick above
the 900 mark in the A. A. i'm order
to stay in the pennant fight and the
Bushmen have dropped to .592.
Well. at any rate. the Tribesmen
are giving Milwaukee fans some wild
excitement. They played the Brew
ers close the first two games.
The eighth inning continues to be
the dangerous inning for the In
dams. Time and again this season
the opposition has rallied or the
Tribe in that stanza.
That was a sad defeat the Indians
suffered Saturday. They made "a
brilliant comeback in the eighth and
scored six runs, giving them the
lead over the Brewers, Z TO 3. But
Milwaukee jumped on Hill. knocked
him out and rallied for four mark
ers, knotting the score. Specie re-
lieved Hill and was defeated in the
tenth when Sticking fumbled Shulte's
grounder and the miscue developed
into the winning run for the Cream
City outfit.
Hill miscued in the third and
helped Milwaukee to it's first two
runs. That's the way it has been all
season with the Indians-their err
rors usually prove disastrous. AS a
contrast, Milwaukee made three err
rors Saturday, but none aided the
Tribe.
Voter got a homer in the eighth
Saturday with two mates aboard and
