BIG FOUR OF L. S. TENNIS
REACH FINAL In DOUBLES
Tilden and Hunter and Johnston and Williams Each
Sent Four Sets, Latter Pair Having Great
Battle With Doeg and Lott
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ROOKLINE. Mass, September
- 3.-The four members of
Americas 1927 Davis Cup team
IL will decide the final Monday in
the forty-fifth annual national
doubles championship tennis tourna-
ment at the Longwood Cricket Club
here.
The big Four" of the United
States tennis, William T. Tilden, I'd,
and his partner, Francis 7. Hunter.
New Rochelle. n. Y, and Richard n.
Williams, Philadelphia, and his new
teammate this year, William Little
Billy" Johnston, San Francisco, came
through an Interesting bracket of
semi-finals today in which both teams
were forced to display their best
tennis.
Tilden and Hunter defeated John
Hennessey, Indianapolis, and Lucian
Williams, Chicago, holders of the
American clay court title, 81, 6-2,
So. 6-3. Williams and Johnston were
also driven to four SETS. but 1t was
much harder tennis before they could
eliminate the youthful Davis Cup
team alternates, John Doeg. Santa
Monica, Calf, and George M. Lott,
jr., Chicago, 81, Ga, 10-12, 8-6.
First Set Surprise.
The result of the first set of the
Tilden Hunter, Hennessey Williams
match was surprise. The clay
court kings had eliminated the French
champions, Henri Cochet and jacques
Brugnon, yesterday, but Tilden and
Hunter were favored to win in three
straight sets.
Hunter was weak from the start.
In the fourth game Hennessey and
Williams broke through him with q

bombardment of fast drives which he
netted. Williams and Hennessey
continued to direct their attack at
him exclusively and time after time
he yielded points on errors. In the
eighth game he lost service again,
while Tilden's appearances at the line
invariably brought game to the Davis
Cup pair.
The second set brought breaks
through Williams twice and with Til
den at the peak of his game things
moved quickly, although Hunter net
ted often and Williams and Hennessey
played an all court game well. The
third set went much the same except
that Hunter failed again at the line
in the fourth game. Hennessey drop
ped the first and fifth while Williams
service was taken by the Wimbledon
winners in the seventh. J
The fourth set see-sawed back and
forth for six games. in the seventh
came a break through Williams which
opened the way for Tilden and Hunter
to take the next two for set and
match. The young clay court title
holders were pitted against experience
and the, veteran strategy of Tilden
spite the obvious ability they dis
played for first-grade tennis.
Experience Tells.
The Williams-J ohnston, Lott-Doeg
match was much the same story with
the ineXperience of the two youths
counting against them. Yet they had
two youthful characteristics which did
count, determination and endurance
and it brought them the third set
after they had lost the first two.
The match was unusual in the abil-
ity of all four players to serve con-
sistently and win their games.
In the national mixed doubles tour
nament Tilden and Mrs. Franklin /.
Mallory, New York. were eliminated
by Jean BorOtra, France, and Mrs
Charlotte Hosmer Chaplin of Spring
field, rs, 8-6.
One fourth round match was COM
pleted with Eileen Bennett, England,
and Henri Cochet, France, defeating
Kea Bouman. Holland. and Jacques
Brugnon, France, 6-3. SO. GA.
The national veterans doubles title
was won by Fred Baggs, and DIR. Will.
liam Rosenbaum. both New York, who
defeated E Wallace Meyers, London,
and M. d. Whitman, Boston, 6-3, 6-3.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, September g.
The Reds picked the seventh inning
today to bunch four of their five hits
for two runs and defeated the pen
nant-chasing Chicago Cubs, 2 to i.
1t was the second straight victory
for Cincinnati.
? Lucas won his own game with a
single scoring Ford after Ford's one
bagger had put ZitZman across.
Lucas was in fine form and allowed
the Chicagoans only five hits.
Blake had retired the Reds almost
in order until the seventh. Kelly
started the fireworks with a cracking
double down the left field line. Zitz-
mann ran for him and took third
when Walker grounded out. Zitz-
mann scvored on Ford's single and
Ford went to third when Critz beat out
an infield hit.
The play finished Blake, and Art
Nehf. recently released by the Reds
and taken on by Chicago, went in to
relieve. Hargrave, batting for Suke-
forth, drew a walk, filling the bases.
and then Lucas won the game with
his hot single off Beck's leg. Critz
tried to score. but was caught at
the plate.
The Cubs got their lone run when
Heathcote scored on Wilson's single
to left.

THURSTON OR JOHNSON
TO FACE HUBMEN TODAY

Following their jaunt to Philadel-
phia, the Nationals will be at home
nearly three weeks. They are to open
their stand here on Thursday against
the White Sox. Ray Schalk's crew
will be encountered in five games in
four days. Then the Browns, Tigers
and Indians will invade the Washing
ton stronghold.
President Griffith expects to have
something of considerable interest to
Washington fans to announce shortly.
He declares he has several deals pend
ing that will bring likely players to
his flock and that one or two of the
deals will be real surprises. But the
prexy is not yet ready to name the
players he is seeking.
Ossie Bluege made the banner field
ing play of yesterdays engagement
when he went far to his left to block
with his gloved hand F'lagstead's hot
grounder in the fifth frame.
After grabbing Reeves bunt in the
fifth, MacFayden held the ball long
enough to count the stitches on it be-
fore heaving to Regan at first. 1t ap-
peared that the speedy Robert had
crossed the sack before the sphere
got to Regan, but Umpire Dinneen
did not think so.
Stewart and McNeely got such Il
start on MacFayden when they be-
gan their dual theft in the sixth that
Catcher Hofmann made no effort to
throw the ball either to second or
third base.
In the sixth Stewart flashed plenty
of speed to convert a bunt to Myer
into a single. Stuffy was well be-
yond the sack when Buddy's throw
| reached first.
Shaper did not show any throwing
arm after grabbing Rice's loft in the
sixth and Bluege easily got in with a
| tying marker. The Red Sox left field
| er had crossed to short center to take
| the catch virtually out of F'lagsteads S
| hands.
| When Bill Carrigan attempted to do
a lot of nuzzing with MacFayden in

! tried to listen in on the discourse.

The Washington man meets Eugene

Last chance today to see the Red
Sox in action in Clark Griffith Sta
dium this year. Bill Carrigan and
his Boston bunch will conclude their
campaign on the Washington lot with
nothing more to look forward to than
another finish in the American
League cellar. For time the Hub
men went on wild rampage and
threatened to crawl out of the loWly
position they have occupied so long,
but the losing habit had gripped them
too we'll and it was not long before
they slipped back into their poor
stride.
The Red Sox have played through
the greater part of the season just
as the Nationals did while they were
dropping IL games in a row in the
West recently. But they usually man.
age to give the Harris-led forces a
good argument So this concluding
battle of their visit here today should
be something more than merely a
ball game.
While the Red SoX are through with
the Capital after today. in so far as
the 1927 championship season Is con-
cerned, they will not be through with
the Nationals for the year. In the
final week of this campaign Clark
Criffith's hirelings will go to the Hub
to play four games in three days.
Either Hollis ThurstOn or Walter
Johnson will take the hill against the
Red SoX this afternoon. Thurston
has not been very effective lately, but
Manager Harris believes the former
White Sox finger should be able to
cope with Carrigan's swingers. That
Johnson instead of Thurston might
get a crack at the Crimson Hose in
dicates that the veteran thinks the
leg he wrenched in Chicago the other
day is sound once more. However, it
seemed none too strong yesterday
when Walter went through a long
workout at the park and 1t still was
considerably inflamed
Boss Buciy figures that Irving Had
ley and Tom Zachary will be just the
! hurlers to use in the two games to be
! played against the Athletics in Phila
, delphia tomorrow. Hadley very likely
will be sent into the morning engage
ment with the southpaw singer being
| reserved for the afternoon fray
Should Fred Marberry and Garland
! Rraxton not be forced into service at
relief specialists on Labor day, they
are apt to be named starting pitchers
| in the double header that will be
staged in the Quaker City on Tuesday
afternoon.
