Walter Cox, the New Hngland trainer,
hcaiU the column of race winners for tho
week. In each dtiy'n races to date Cox has
come across with a victory On the opening
day the Down 1'ast horseman piloted Little
Battleo In the 2.07 pace; Tuesday he han
dled Noith Spur In the 2-20 trot; Wednes
day "ne romped home with Marjorle ICay
and yesterday he figured with I.u Princeton
In the first flve-hcat race of the week.
"I.ou" McDonald and "Vally" Valentine
each have won two races, while Karl Pit
man, Townond Ackerman, Bon White and
Tommy Murphy have scored one xlctory
nplece during their stay nt Narbcrth.
Straight Heats Rule in Meet
It Is very seldom that a big meet will
go for three days with the winning horses
taking tho events in onc-two-three order.
That has predominated In this week's Nar
bcrth races. Yesterday's events almo.'t
wont that way, t3o. Two of the three raceB
decided were of that sort, and had Royal
Mack copped the third heat of the 2:15 trot
tho racing for the four days would have
gone perfect for straight heats. As It were,
Walter Cox's I.u Trlnccton, had the speeit.

The flrst Grand Circuit races for tvVenty
flve years at Belmont havo been a big suc
cess. The races were of the higher order,
the discipline was with the running of the
racing and the whole meet In general merits
another visit of the "Big Time" racers In
1918. A word of commendation for tho pro
motor of the meet, "Al" Saunders, Is fitting
to tho occasion.
Tho ndngc "vciy man to his own game"
Is as fitting to racing hort.es as It is In
any commer.lal line. Promenading around
tho paddock the writer noticed that several
means vvero used other than natural to get
more bpeud from the racers. In ono In
stance, a piece of heavy tvvlno or ra was
tied around a certain trotter's tongue, which
raced on Wednesday. Pieces of cotton were
also stuffed In this 3amo Btced's ears.
Evidently the cotton wns used to keep
the racer going steadily. Some light har
ness racing animals and the runners, too,
nro rattled going, and this Is one of the
ways to keep them quiet.
The big htake horses travel with the same
stylo and comfort as the rich. They have
their own private sldc-door puilmans and,
besides, they havo at their command a por
ter or two to caic for their wants.
Some young fellow was relating to his
friends near one of the big training camps
tho way they handle the fast trotters and
pacers In these days. Two kids stopped to
get an earful of tho conversation. One of
the youngsters chimed In after hearing that
the horses had their own attendants, were
fed tipeclal food, etc., abked the storyteller
"whether they were related to the Guggcn-hclms."
FOREST 1IIM.S, N. Y., Aug. 24.
John Strachan took the first set from R.
I.lndley Murray. 6-4, In tho nemlllnnls In
the national patriotic tennis tournament
here today. Murray's wildness virtually
handed Strachan the set. Murray made bad
returns nnd frequently served double faults,
Murray won the third set, G-3. Strachan
appeared to be tiring. His opponent showed
speedy work at the net. He returned
Str.ichan's service with fast drives. Mur
ray displayed spectacular style. Rain fell
during the third set, but the crowd stuck to
the stands.
The match between Miss Mary Browne
and .Miss Mollle Bjurstedt went over until
tomorrow because of the rain. Miss Bjur
stedt won the first match. C-l.
The ereateHt reversal In the tournament
camo yesterday when Richard Norrls Will
iams 2d, holder of the national singles
championship, was defeated In the semifinal
round of the event by Nathaniel W. Nlles,
of Boston, In a four-set match with the
score, 6.'. 4-6, C-l, G-3. Although the result
was foreshadowed somewhat by Williams's
lack of practice and erratic play In the
earlier rounds, the victory was none the less
amazing when It was Indelibly recorded
among tho achievements of the tournament,
Nlles deserves cerdlt for a great victory
which should be ono of the brightest mem
ories of his tennis career, yet for all It was
not convincing of his superiority to the same,
extent had tho title been at stako In the
present event He attained heights of ten
nis which showed him at his best, probably
stronger than at any time In the last two
years, but Williams was fur from being nt
his best. The skill which carried Williams
to victories over Maurice K. McLoughlln In
the championship of 1914 and William M.
Johnstone In the championship of a year ago
showed Itself only In fleeting glimpses. The
Williams of old was on thn coutt for only
about one-fifth of the match, for the rest of
the time there was a plaver of lesser skill.

,t . 1!asclml1 ,ralnnu on the sand lots of
tnat city Oroh pluved with many clubs
in lie neighborhood during his youth. He
look up the game because he preferred
?,,,, t0 nny 0,hor tlne of endeavor.
1 in ",l(I"'t necome a ball player because
1 liked a llfo of ease." he remarked In
recounting the circumstances of his en
yJ'.Ka . ! tho Bnnie. "As a matter of
ract. a ball plnycr'a life Is not a bed of
roses. It entails hard work.
"As far back as I am able to remember
I loved to play baseball. In my youth I
dreamed of becoming a great pitcher like
Amos Ruslc. but iny small stature pre
vented my ever becoming a pitcher. I did
pitch for sonic of the clubs I played with
In my youngsterliood, nnd mado a pretty
good showing at that, but when I got Into
faster semi-professional circles I nbandoned
tho pitching and becamo an Infielder. Since
then I have played every position on tho
Infield, oven getting a chance at first base
on one occasion.
"My favorite position, however, la ihini
base, and I am doing my utmobt at that
post to help the Reds keep up In the race
this seasonfl I am confident that our club
will bo In the fight all the way. I d,o not
say It Is a great club, but it Is a well
balanced team, the boys are hitting nnd the
pitching Is beyond the average. Nobody
can laugh at the Reds today. We are all
playing for Matty, and I will go on tecord
now ns Faying that he Is the finest manager
for whom I ever played. He Is destined
to become one of the really great leadeis
of the game."

Groh's first piofesslonal engagement was
with the Oshkosh club In 190S, when that
team was a member of the Wisconsin nnd
Illinois League Although he batted only
.161 In 119 games, he played buch a smart
fielding game nt shortstop that year that he
was retained, and tho next season ho Jumped
his batting average to .285 for 113 games.
Ever since then ho has managed to keep his
mark well above tho .250 notch, raising It to
297 In 1910, while still playing with Osh
