WASHBURN BEATS
W. J. CLOTHIER AND
RETAINS NET CUP
Veteran Phila. Star Suc
cumbs to New Yorker in
Meadow Club Final
SCORES, 6-3, 6-4 AND 6-2
SOUTHAStt'TOlV, N. Y., Atlir. 20. Wat
son M. Wnshburn, tljo plnylnir-throURh cup
winner of last seanon, repeated by winning
the Meadow Club lawn tennis Blngtcs In tho
final match of the tournament her today.
Washburn, No. 8 of tho national rnnklng
list, defeated William J. Clothier, former
winner here and national champion In 1906,
In three sets at 63, 64, 62.
There was never n tlmo In the three sets
when tho veteran was ennbled to compel the
younucr man to extend himself. Wnshburn
always had the match well In hand. Ho
Invariably paved tho way for his net at
tack by fast and deeply plnyrd drlvca
which held Clothier under some restraint,
nnd upon tho defennlvo Clothier displayed
an nhumtanco of tactical skill ut nil times.
Ills lobbing; was remarkable. So much so
that he clearly demonstrated tho weakness
of Washburn' overhead.
Washburn led off with the service In tho
first set, nnd so nbly did he Ket to tho
net and shoot for the corners that he led
nt 4-0 on names. Clothier aturtcd his lobby
ing nt this Juncture. Ills tosses kept
Washburn on the run, so that by some
passing drives, mixed "with nn occasional
cross-court shot, the Philadelphia man won
three games In a row. It was his one spurt
of tho set, for Washburn steadied and
In the succeeding games outplaced Clothier
anil mastered him nt the net when tho two
clashed in ctose encounters.
lly varying his game ClotJiler held the
score even to 3-ntl In the second set. lie
timed his lino drives pre'tlly and brought
off many brilliant shots for passes. Clothier
nlso found that Washburn'n backhand was
not dependable, ntid ho mado It the target
of his returns. Washburn went to tho lend
at 5-3 by his net game nnd sizzling cross
court, only to have Clothier break through
his next game.
Tho veteran was no match for tho whip
ping pace of his rlvnl, however, and Wash
burn finished off tho set with somo bril
liantly placed drives.
Washburn had all the better of the play
ing In the final set. He pulled out games
by remarkable place shots whenever ho was
compelled to, so skillfully did he maneuver
to force Clothier to break position. One
of theso games Washburn finished nfter
deuce had been called with two service nces.
The best the I'hllndelphlan could do was
to win tho third nnd seventh gnmes. Ifo
played ably, but was mastered by more
modern tennis and n faster man.

ANOTHER BIG RACE
AT POINT BREEZE
Motor-Paced Cyclists Will Cover
Fifty Miles Walthour to
Ride Again
Bobby Walthour, the Dixie Flyer, rode
so sensationally at the Point Urcezo motor
drome on Thursday night that the officials
booked him as the star attraction In a 60
mllo motor-paced race at tho drome oval
tonight. Wnlthour will be opposed by
Clarence Garman, George Wiley and Menus
Bedell. Garman anil Wiley were both dis
heartened over the fact that 'Wnlthour
beat them on Thursday night and asked for
a return match, and In their eagerness to
get another crack at tho veteran champion
they agreed to allow him a handicap of
five laps In EO miles and also allow Bedell
to be an added starter nnd give him a
handicap of 10 laps.
There Is more than a passing Interest In
Wnlthour's appearance tonight, for what
Kramer has done In the sprint ranks Bobby
hns negotiated In the motor-paced world.
Walthour has been pedaling a wheel for
over 20 years now and still he stands
side by side with the best of them, as waa
evidenced by hla brlllant work against Car
man, Wiley, Dldler and Columbatto Thurs
day evening nnd his victory woh the most
popular event of the season at the local
truck. It Is no secret the Dixie boy likes
the warm weather. This fact and tlie
handicap he Is to receive makes him the
pick of the talent.
Carman, however, cannot he overlooked,
for he showed his real class on Thursday
night. Tho champion was nine miles behind
at the tenth mile owing to accidents, but
he rode one of the gamest races ever seen
on a track and made up four miles before
the finish and came oft the track smiling.

CLEVELAND CLUB
NOW VIRTUALLY
OUT OF JtUNNING
Recent Slump in East At
tributed to Failure to
Hit in Pinches
IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED
By SPICK HALL
When tlie Cleveland club left liomc for
Its final Invasion of the Kant. Kohl's men
were a iramo and a halt behind tho Bos
ton Hod Sox, leaders of tho jmerlcan
League. This morning tho Indians were 6',i
games below Uoston and had but 33 more
games. While It Is still miithemntlcally pos
sible for Ihe Cleveland team to win the
pennant, probabilities against such a con
tingency nrc o great that It Is virtually
eliminated. To gain Gi full games with
32 more to piny is too big n handicap for a
club going nt top speed, which the Indians
are not doing by any means.
Manager I-'olit naturally would not llko
to admit yet that his team Is out of tho
race, Just ns he would not predict early
In the season that ho would win tho pen
nant for the Cleveland fans. Hut It was
easy to see from his general attitude that
ho really tl d not hope to win. "It is al
ways poR.ilblo to win If there arc enough
games to be played In which to catch up."
said Kohl when aslted what ho thought his
chances were, "but tho odda now are aw
fully big against us.
Club Now Better
"Our club will go better, of course, from
now until tiie end of tho season because
the men are hitting better nnd more op
portunely than they did during the first
part of the tr.p nnd then, too, Morton Is
bnclt nnd will bo nblc to pitch good ball,
I think. There Isn't anything tho matter
with .Morton's arm now. Ills only troublo
is that he has not hnd tlmo to regain his
control. That mny handicap him for awhile,
but ho will get over It nnd I expect to sco
him go well."
Continuing ; Kohl gave this ns his dopo
on the race: "In splto of tho fact that
Carrlgan's men arc In the lend, I do not
regard them as seriously ns I do the White
Sox. Tho Hod Sox play a steadier fielding
gntnc than Chicago, but they are slower on
the bases and haven't nearly the h.ttlng
power of Itowlnnd's team. Jacltson, Kddlo
Collins, Kclsch nnd Koiirnlcr arc hitting
the ball much harder than thoy were a
few weelts ago, and I know that this team
Is bound to give any club n. lot of trouble."
Speaker Praised
Speaker's nnmo was mentioned. Fohl then
proceeded to praise his centerflelder in these
terms: "When Speaker was hurt on Thurs
day I did not expect to see him out of the
gamo long. You sec how long ho was out
not n whole dny. He Insisted on going in.
Ho la not one of the men who Btays out every
time ho has a little scratch. On the con
trary, ho always wants to Do in tho line-up,
nnd he works when he Is there, too. He Is
the kind of man that helps a club get up and
stay In n pennant race."
Mannger Kohl, llko all the members of
tho Cleveland team, realizes that the trouble
with tho club has been a very bad batting
slump. This slump nt first seized only a
pnrt of tho players, but eventually It spread
to Infantllc-paralysls-llko proportions, until
virtually every player on tho team was af
flicted. Tho result was that tho Indians lost
eight games In a row.
Tho figures of tho four Boston-Cleveland
and first two Athletics-Cleveland games
show that, although the batting of all the
clubs was light, the Indians lead In total
hits. But their hits were not timely, Tho
men seemed to be able to do fairly well with
tho bases empty, but as soon as n runner
gat on the paths there was nothing doing In
the way of pinch hitting.
No Pinch HittinK
Only seven times In tho six games re
ferred tn did a Cleveland man get u hit with
ono or more runners on the bases. That ac
counts for Its utter failure to score enough
runs to win, no matter how good the pitch
ing wbb. On the other hand, Cleveland's op
ponents lilt safely 33 tlmea with men on the
paths In these same six games.
In the second game of the Boston series
Cleveland made Ave hits, not one of which
came with ft runner on base. If the lead-off
men In the various innings had been hitting
safely It would not have been so bad. but
there were usually one or two down when u
player made n safe crack, and with no ono
,on base nt that. That combination la close
to a record for such a length of time.
Add to this poor offensive work n good
deal of ragged fielding, and It Is not dllll
cult to see why tho Cleveland team took
such a tumble down the league ladder.
Whether they will get back to form ngaln
Is a question, Manager Fohl thinks they
will, and the players are confident that
brighter days uro coming. But It Is n safe
prediction that the fans of the metropolis
of Ohio will have to wnlt nt least another
year before greeting their club as American
