In addition to having in P., Norrls
Williams, 2d, a strong favorite for the
33th national lawn tonnls singles cham
pionship, to be played at Forest Hills
two weeks hence, this city s almost
certain to supply the winner of the na
tional Interscholastlc crown.
Sidney Thayer, Jr., of the Merlon
Cricket Club, went through tho Harvard
interscholastlc tournament In such sur
prisingly easy manner that he was hailed
Immediately as the ultimate winner of
tne national title, since then he has
played In a number of tournaments and
In each succeeding one he has shown
Just a little moro than in the one pre
vious. The winners of the Interscholastlc
tournaments held at eight universities
last spring qualified for the national In
terscholastlc championship, held at For
est Hills In conjunction with the U, S.
N. h. T, A. singles and double events.
But two Philadelphlans are among t'ne
previous winners Wallace P, Johnson,
In 1907, and O, Colket Cuner, In 1913,
A rising generation of huge proportions
before long will be making Its presence
felt In local tennis affairs. Among those
nr whom ereat things are expected In the-
future are I. S, Cravis, of the Green
point Lawn Tennis ClUb, who went
through the Suburban Tennis League
season without the loss of a match, and
u" o. fialllard. of the Philadelphia
nrirket Club. The latter waa one of
the prominent contenders for the Phila
delphia Junior championship.
The West Bide Lawn Tennis Club had
a hard time last winter convincing the
U B. V U T. A. that Its courts at
Forast Hills. 1 J., should be tho scans
of th nt national lawn tennis cham
pionship matches, ahd since then a num
ber -Pf ptfly difficulties have caused great
annoyance. And now the Ur Inspector,
have placed the Pan on "tos ' h

spectators gather up .their Bklrts, or hats
and sticks, as tho case might be right
in tho midst of nn exciting rally for a
set or match point, and saunter casually
out of the grounds.
Not being In the same class as Newport
ns a social centre. It is fully expected
that the Forest Hills galleries will be
made up Of men nnd women who aro
heeiuy interested In the game. Never
theless, lovers of lawn tennis are Just
as fond of the weed as other types of
sportsmen, and the likelihood is that
many will bo leaving their Beats for an
occasional puff or two,
Thero will, however, be this difference:
Those who know lawn tennis and can
ioiiow tno matches point by point will
not leave until a set, or at least a game.
Is concluded, Hence, players will have
no complaint to offer on the score of
their attention being diverted by arriving
and leaving spectators.
"A Voice From the Grave" has long
been a favorite title for short story,
serial, photoplay, or novel, and for the
most part its use has been confined
to Hctton. Not so very long ago Craig
Diddle was the recelplent of an actual
message from the dead, In the form of a
letter from Anthony Wilding, written
shortly before the world's premier lawn
tennis player lost his life in the trenches
In Flanders.
Diddle and Wilding were lifelong
friends, and fellow competitors In many
tournaments along the nivlera and at
other Continental resorts. Oftttmes, too,
tney were partners at douoies, Tms let
ter from Wilding, beloved of alt tennis
followers, is one of Olddle's most cher
ished possessions.
If the U. 8, N. U T. A. committee In
charge of tbe entries for the national
championship at Forest Hills adheres to
It original determination not to accept
entries from other than serious contend
ers, but a bare half dozen players Will
represent Philadelphia. Of this number
R. Norrls Williams, 3d, the present title
holder, of course, will bo the laader, but
others who will give a good account o(

NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 17. There was
but one unlooked-for result in the
matches of the llrst and second rounds
of the. Newport Cnsino Invitation lawn
tennis tournament yesterday. That was
tho dsfeat of Wnrd Dawson, of Los
Angeles, California, nt the hands of
Rowland Evnns, Jr., of Philadelphia.
Evnna was In nn undeniable mood nnd
vanquished tho Pacific Coast star In
three straight sots nt 61, 63. 62.
The favorites for the final, Maurice
McLaughlin, of San Francisco and
national champion R, Norrls Williams,
:d, of Philadelphia, won their matches
without unusual Incident. Clarenco J
Qrlflin, of San Francisco, who, with
William Johnson, qualified for the
challenge round for tho national doubles
tltlo last week, was given a hard match
yesterday by Lylc E. Mahan, of New
York. Grlfiln enptured the first two sets
with ease, und a straight set victory was
In sight when Mnhan suddenly braced
and took tho third and fourth sets at
B-S. Griffin then settled down, tnklp
the final set at 63.
Craig Diddle. Wallaco F. Johnson, D.

Philadelphlans who came through, while

TODAY'8 SCHEDULE
Charley Ifcrzog brings his fast-flying
Reds to this city for a single gnmo this
afternoon. Since mooting tho Phillies In
Cincinnati, the Reds have taken a sud
den spurt nnd until stopped by tho
Pirates yesterday had won six games In
a row, Including ilvo from Pittsburgh.
Theso live victories Just about put tho
rirates out of the race and were n big
help to the Phillies.
The Reds aro confident that they will
surprlBo the Phillies, but with tho team
going at top speed Manager Mornn Is
not worrying nny nbout the Reds, nnd
It Is likely ho -will save Alexander the
Great for the tlrst gnmo ngainst tho
Pirates nnd use either Chalmers or
Mayer on th( mound this afternoon.
Fred Tonr-y, who gavn the Phillies a
great hattlo In hl.i Inst nppearnnco In
this city, Ik duo to hurl for tho Rods.
Ho has won threo straight games, and
tho Phillies may have their ttoubles hit
ting tho former Louisville twlrlor.
The three victories over the Draves
not only Increased the confldcuco of the
I'Mlllrjs, but they nlso served to bring
the tunm out of tho bnttlng slump that
retarded the progress of tho leaders so
long. Tho Phllly players bcllevo that yes-
101-uay s ucieni or tne uocigcrs in n
heart-brcnklng finish with tho Giants
will do much to discourage the Drook
lynltes, Mornn has warned (he men ngnlnst
thinking the Reds are easy, as It has
btcn this team which tripped tho Phillies
twice Just when It seemed that they wero
about to stait on a winning streak.

Lack of Consistency
"The lock of consistency this season,"
ho continued, "hns been beyond nny past
turn ot the game. Only four clubs have
shown nny consistent striking strength
nnd there four' for only short distances.
The PhllHes played grand baseball for tho
list three weeks of the race. They have
barely broken even since. The Cubs had
one drive for three weelts that mndc them
look formidable. They have never been
anywhere slnco. Tho Dodgers hod tho

The best start now nt hand foh discov

match Frank Mornn and Jim Coffey. The
winner couldn't probably win from Will-nrd.-
But the process would be fairly
Interesting and at tho finish would give

ings, of the Cottons, would catch. It will
count officially as a oall or strike, ho

That's How I Need You,
To the members of the crew It was a
keen disappointment, for they clearly had
iniulo great headway nnd seemed practi
cally sure of winning. When tho gaso
lino ran out they were many ynrds from
tno stirtlng point on one of the laps.
They were In a quandary. Then ono of
the members hit upon the Idcn of turn
ing tho engine over with a two-arm
motor. He did. It was a novel sight to
see tho illont croft steal dolefully to tho
tlnlsh line and then send up a call for
moro gns. When gas was furnished tlu
cnglno sulked, nnd before It could be
stnrtcd ngnln tho NXQCJME had won.
No gas, no work, waa that engine's
motto.
Tho question arises, hail the Industrious
human engine of tho Dlpple-Dn continued
to turn over the engine and have Won
tne race, would it have been necessary
to disqualify the boat? So far no one
has been ablo to find It a Just causo for
disqualification. The race was .16 miles
In length and was held Satuiday at the
Flat Rock Molorboat Club.
Molorboats should be required to run
by gasoline alono.
Club. Saturday a most striking white-
clml figure appeared on the after deck
of the Opeechee, nnd carried his conver
sation right on overboaid with him, This
ducked Individual strnlghtnwrty went to
tho bottom ot the muddy Hchuylklll. Suit
and wearer had an afternoon off. Th
former was placed on n IJne aboard ship,
whllo the othor party viewed the speed
contests from n point of cabin vantage
.through n port hole.
"It wasn't anything lo laugh at," re
marked an Indignant lady ashore.
"No." replied the guilty one, "It was
too sad at that."
Mutiny is certain to break out at the
Rlycrshlo Yaplit Club again tonight at
Lsslngton. Commodore Walber will have
several big guns and gun crews oh hand,
and will be prepared to havo tho whole
bunch shot.
Members of tho Regnttn Committee,
captains of the vessels which are to rate
In tho Record Cup regatta tomorrow with
their friends will be thero and many
other victims.
Commodoro J. C. Vnndersllce had to go
all the way from Camdon lo Shawmont,
tho headquarters of the Flat Rock Slolor
boat Club, but ho won tho Commodore
Swayno Cup- nt that.
Ono wit at tho Flat Rock Molorboat
Club remarked Saturday: "What chance
lias a poor little Bee against such ani
mals as the Bearcat and Greyhound?"
To Judge by results In ,the Stewart Cup
race tho Bco stung tho bunch badly.
Tho question as to tho relative speed
qualities of the Dora II, owned by- Cap
tain Arlshoff, and tho Eugenia, owned by
Commodore Eugene Swayne, of the Flat
Hock Motorbont Club, has led to an Inter
esting discussion. Tho boats are to race
That water Is wet and mud Is muddy
can bo attested any day by one of thejjomorrow and then the matter of supa
members of the Flat Rock Motorboain rlorlty will be answered. The Dora II won
the Baltimore to Camden distance race
recently, while the Eugenia was third.
The "Ifs" and the "ands" have devel
oped u decidedly keen quarrel.
