Philadelphia Enjoying Treat in Red Cross Tennis
T7K)R the last three days Philadelphia has enjoyed a tennis treat that is offered
only rarely on local courts, and the sporting world In particular and all America
should give all-hearted thanks to the players who so unselfishly are giving their
time and energy that the campaign, fostered by the National Lawn Tennis Associa
tion to raise $100,000 for the Red Cross, might be brought to. a successful end.
Frederick B, Alexander, Karl H. Behr, Sergeant Wallace F. Johnson, John R.
Btrachan, IJoward S, Voshell, Harold B. Throckmorton, Charles S. Garland, R. Nor-
rls Williams, 2d, George W. Wlghtman, William T. Tilden, 2d, Miss alary K.
Browne and Miss Molla BJurstedt have all made personal sacrifices that tho crowds
j may be drawn to .the exhibition matches. These names are all from the top
ranks of the tennis world and the brand of play which they have placed beforo
the critical eyes of Philadelphia enthusiasts has been such as to bring only praise.
The two who are attracting tho greatest attention aro tho women players,
Miss Mary K. Browne, of California, the former national champion, and Miss Molla
BJurstedt, the Norwegian sensation, who Is tho present holder of tho American title.
For two years the Norse girl reigned supreme on the courts. She was considered
Invincible; but this season the little lady from the Golden Gate has proved decisively
that she Is the mistress of the player from across tho seas.
' The contrast In play of the two girls Is an Interesting study. They are op-
' posltes In tho extreme. Miss BJurstedt depends on the power of her stroko to beat
her opponent to the game. Miss Browno relies on her accurate placing. Tho Norse
girl tries to whip the ball straight at her rival so, fast that a racket cannot bo
placed on it In time to make a recovery. The Californlan calls upon her strategy
', and knocks the ball away from her rival. Miss Browne is a polished player. Her
' strokes are subtle and graceful; thoso of Miss BJurstedt's lack these qualities and,
at times, are even awkward.
fTTHESE queens of the courts have met twenty-four times this season
Mn singles and the fact that Miss Browne has won sixteen of the
1 matches certainly shows that Miss BJurstedt Is no longer tho Invincible
' player of yesteryears.

1, , satisfaction of all parties and with tho National Leaguo ngaln back in the good
;$ graces of all, the senior organization has nothing to do but nwait action in its
,, brother circuit and make preparations for the world'B series. It ii now up to Ban
Johnson. When the McGraw caso first dovclopcd and the Giants' manager was
, busy slugging umpires, picking out Byron for his victim, Ban Johnson did not
1 hesitate to tell what he would do If nnythlng similar to that took place In his
league. It will be recalled that Babe Ruth was let down with a light punishment,
nnd nothing has been heard about any of the above Incidents, one of which is more
serious than the McGraw episode.
JUST one year ago Lannln, then president of tho Red Sox, broke loose
after his team suffered a scries of reverses in Chicago, and accused
tho umpires of combining to keep the Red Sox from winning the pennant.
Ban Johnson did not take any uctlon until tho end of the season. Then ho
proceeded to depose Lannln, ousting him from the league and selling tho
, franchise to H. II, Frazco and Hugh Ward.
Opposition Falling Before Dizzy Pace of White Sox
THE White Sox are fairly burning up the American League. The opposition
continues to fall beforo their advance, and If it Is not soon halted tho Red Sox
, will soon be referre-I to as the former champions. The last White Sox-Red Sox
' series resulted In an even break, and since that time tho White Sox havo tuken
fifteen out of sixteen games. They had a run of seven straight, then dropped ono
to St. Louis, only to start over again, and when Umpiro Owens forfeited tho gnme
to tho pace-setters in Chicago yesterday it was their eighth straight. Tho White
fior now lead Boston by seven full games and as they only havo sixteen more to
play It will requlro some superhuman work on the part of tho Bostonlans to over
take the leaders.
In yesterday's game the Whlto Sox and Indians wye deadlocked In tho tenth.
'With two men out and two on bases In the tenth, Umpire Owons called Graney
out In a close piny ut third." Graney was ruled out for Interference, and whllo the
play was on two Indians scored. Cleveland refused to accept the decision and,
according to the version of a Chicago scribe, the Indians gave ono of the most
disgraceful exhibitions of kicking and stalling that has been seen on an American
League diamond In years. Owens stood for the kicking, but when tho players
began to show him up and mako a Joke of the contest ho then forfeited tho game
to thevWhlte Sox.
AX7IIIt,E tno W1'16 Sox nave becn enjoying such a wonderful winning
'streak the Giants have only been meeting with mediocre success.
They have taken only eight out of the last fourteen, but still they have n
safe margin to work on.

JOHNSON PLANS FIRST
OF BIG GAMES IN N. Y.
By Opening World's Series in
Gotham, Ban Believes 150,000
Would See Four Battles
CHICAGO, Sept. 10 Unless nan John
son, president of tho American League, Is
convinced differently by tlio two other mem
bers of the National Commission when they
meet In Clnclnnalt on September 20, the
worlds series will open In New York on
Friday, October 5. Johnson has hinted
that ho Is for opening In New York on
date, playing two games there and then
Jumping to Chicago for the Sunday game
Johnson looks at It In this light: Opening
day always Is a record-breaker, and espe
cially now that tlio White Sox and Giants
appear the sure winners rivalry noer was
greater. Saturday naturally Is a big day
In baseball and another record crowd would
turn out,
Then the hurried Jump to Chicago. Sun
day being tho first big game In Chicago
would again draw capacity and over. Ho
Intimates 150,000 would see tho first fnnr-
games.
Johnson also Intimated that the world's
series prices of other years would bo sliced
considerably. This means that though
many more persons would seo tho game this
year than heretofore, the players would get
A smaller share, due to tho cut Tho belief
here is that tho GlantB will bo tho favorite,
but Chicago will send much money i:ast.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Johnny Over

nominated by the President to bo second
lieutenant In tho marine corps. The ap
pointment Is prohatlonaty.
Overton, who lives in Nashville, Tcnn..

Till: il ii-lmi of the United States Golf
ttgii(.'i.itloii to annul tho women's patri
otic golf tournament, which was to havo
becn held at Shawnee next month, Is not
surprising, for the telegrams from three
members of tho women's committee who
were to dctermlno whether tho eont was
to be held or not showed what tho verdict
would be. They were published In this
column early this month. It Is very evident
that tho women do not care any more
about tho tournamonts In which there Is
no tttlo at stake than the men,
Tho calling off of this tournament will
probably help the clubs In tho Philadelphia
district who havo schedules arranged for
women for the fall months. There Is every
Indication that these events will be plajcd.
They aro threo In number. The first event
will bo the seonth annual competition for
tho Berthellyn Cup at the Huntingdon Val
ley Country Club, from October 9 to 13.
All the prominent women golfers of the
Metropolitan, Chicago and Boston districts
will be invited to play, and there Is every
indication that the field will bo one of tho
most representative that ever contested for
tho cup.
Berthellyn nn Excellent Tournament
It Is essentially a woman's cup In moro
senses than ono, for Instead of having tho
names of Mrs. Clarenco H. Vanderbeck,
Mis. Caleb V. Fox and Mrs. Itonald H.
Barlow on It, tho maiden names aro used.
Last year It was won by the present na-
By PETER PUTTER
tlonal champion. Miss Alcxa Stirling, who
defeated Mrs. Vanderbeck in a well-played
final.
Tho following week the fifteenth annual
contest for tho Mary Thayer Karnum Me
morial Cup will be played at the Wilming
ton Country Club. It Is a medal-play
event of thirty-six holes, eighteen being
played on October 1C and tho other eighteen
tho following day.
The final tournament will be the Bumm
Memorial Cup. under tho nubplces of the
Whltcmarsh Valley Country Club, the fol
lowing week. Tho dates have not yet been
set, but will bo Bomewhcre In tho week
beginning October 22. The cup. which Is
glcn In memory of Mrs. Bumm by her
friend, Mrs. Jacob S. Dlsston, is now on
ylcw at tho club, and It Is the finest and
largest sterling silver cup ever contested for
In this country by the women, Whllo It tt
tremendous In size, It is graceful in outline.
LUPTON NINE BOASTS RECORD OF 10
MEN BATTING OVER .300, ACCORDING
TO INDUSTRIAL BASEBALL AVERAGES
BATTING records of the Industrial
Baseball Lcaguo up to and Including
the last games played show Itablnger, tho
star centerflelder of Hcss-Brlght, leaders
of the south division, to bo showing the
way with an average of .010. He has par
ticipated In only eight starts and tho real
honors belong to Wrlgley, who holds down
the third base Job for Lupton, He has a
record of 37 hits, including many extra base
wallops, In 75 trips to the plate, or an aver
age of .BOO. Another representative of Lup
ton Is well up In the list In the person of L.
Adams, who Is clouting the old pill for
.435. Two of the first fle are Ward players,
Rowo In third with .481 and Normlle fifth
with .426. The latter Is a star pitcher
with two no-hlt games to his credit When
not gracing the pitching peak he occupies
a position In the outReld.
All these men play on clubs In the south
section and hae better averages than any
In the north section, which Is led by J.
Maley, of Mldale, and Miller, of Dob
son, who are tie for first place with .421,
Robertson, of Keen Kutter, is second and
Gebhart, of Dlsston, third. The north di
vision has eighteen men In the select .300
class, while the south division boasts of
nearly twice this number thirty-two players
being credited with that figure or better.
Keen Kutter makes the finest showing in
Its division, with six men in secret society,
while Lupton has the enviable record of
ten players hitting over .300. Lupton also
has a chance to tie Hess-Brtght for the
title In the south section, the coming game
being the last one of the season.

It must be won three times In succeislon
to be won outright, and each winner will get
a replica of It. It will be a thlrty-slx-hote
medal-play event, eighteen holes each day.
It seems a pity that the, dnnnr 111,1 .,,
lit to make It a match-nlav event, as thosn
medal-play nffairs appeal to so few. While
a maten-piay gives every woman who
qualities In the sixteen a chance to win tho
trophy, a medal-play cient resolves the
light down to a selected few, and In Phila
delphia, for Instance, thoso few would bo
Sirs. Vanderbeck, Mrs. Barlow, Mrs. Kox
and Miss Caverly. Thero might bo others,
but were tho cup to be restricted to Phila
delphia women it is &afo to say that these
four would be the winners year after year.
Medal Play Not So Interesting
Tho chief fault with medal-play tourna
ments Is tho element of luck. Ono or two
holes even In a thirty-six-hole match elimi
nate a golfer, whllo in tho match-play
rounds one or two bad holes does not neces
sarily put the player out of tho match.
However, tho donor has a perfect right to
determine the stylo of play, and apparently
Mrs. Dlsston prefers medal to match play.
Of course. It is very dinicult for any
woman, no matter how expert sho may bo
aB a medal player, to win any big trophy
three times In a row, although Mrs. Barlow
has shown in the Geist Cup tournaments
at Overbrook that It Is not such a difficult
matter, after all. It Is a better safeguard
than to have a tournament In which the
trophy can be won threo times, but not
necessarily In order.
The next tournament so far as the men
are concerned is the sixth annual tourney
of the Ancients and Honorables which will
bo held tomorrow at the SL Davids Golf
Club. It is open only to those youngsters
who have reached or passed the ago of
fifty-five, and no ono else Is eligible to play.
Most of the graybeards and the grayheads
will be there tomorrow and for them thn
annual amateur championship of the coun
try Is 0. rather tame affair compared with
this big event. There aro two prizes, one
for the best gross and ono for the best net.
The tournament was first suggested by
Harrison Townsend and some of his friends
say that he watted until he was eligible be
fore he put the matter up to the Golf As
sociation of Philadelphia. That it will be a
b F ?uv m,Trow there ls no Question and
all the old fellows want Is a bright sunny
day. Cold, rainy weather spells rheumatism,
and when a man gets to be fifty-five or
over rheumatism has no charms for him
But If the day Is clear and warm we may
expect a big crowd of the ancients at SL
Davids.

Unless There Is an Explosion of UrmrerDd-i
Bulk, Giants and White Sox Will Be Battling!
. in uie vv ujl iu s otJiiea
By GRANTLAND RICE
AVhat'H They Say
When the stars of today are all finished
And the cheers of the crowd seek the new,
I'll be thinking of Tyms the Terror
And the stuff that he used-to put through;
As I turn to the fans all around me
Loud boosting their present star host,
Will they sneer in derision, I wonder,
If I happen to mention the Ghost?
As they cheer for their own bally wonders,
Will they call me a pink-eyed sob
If I try to horn in with some prattle
Of that great Gray Phantom, Cob?
Will they call me a mutt and a fogey,
When I speak of the stars of today?
Will they call Cobb a busher compared to their awn?
Hey tell mewhat'll they .say? tr 0Wn?
Karl MacGrath.
JUST as all is not goldythat glitters, so
all Is not cinch that cinchers but it Is
generally so.
There havo been a few historic Septem
ber upsets, but as a rulo the ball club
reaching September with a fair lead has
managed to wiggle safely through and
reach the mainland without disaster.
The most hlstoris upset of them all was
In 1908, when tho Giants had the pennant
won, salted, bagged, cinched and put away
only to blow a set of Important contests
with the Reds and Phillies, then floundering
In tho depths.
But If you care to look back over the
chart you will find few, very few, September
cave-Ins by the talent
Most of those expected to win early In
September have generally come through.
Very, very few ball clubs have enjoyed a
September lead of any proportion to fall
back later on.
There have been no vivid September up
sets that we can recall since 1908. So,
unless thero Is an explosion of unprece
dented bulk, tho Giants and White Sox will
be tho people.
Diamond Freaks
Sir Seeing that you havo been cata
loguing diamond freaks, consider this en
try: On April 29, 1907, In a game at the
Polo Grounds between the Giants and Bos
ton, the Giants received four passes, stole
five bases and Boston made an error, all In
one Inning yot the Giants scored but ono
run out of the ten bases gained. How?
Shannon was out on a ground hall. Strang
walked, but Devlin filed to third. Strang
stole and on a bad throw by the catcher
went to third. Seymour walked, and with
Strang executed a double steal, Strang
scoring. Brcsnahan walked, and he, with
Seymour, executed another double steal.
McGa'nn walked and then Bad Bill Dahlen
fanned. RICHARD MANBY.
Too Good for His Own Goodi
It Isn't often In any walk of life that a
man Is too good at his chosen profession
for his own good.
For at least two years the Athletics
were too good for their own good, finan
cially, at least. Mack built up a ball club
so good that It cost him thousands of dol
lars first by breaking up interest in his
own lcaguo around July and then by end
ing most of his world's series at an early
stage.
But the leading Too Good example Is
Jess Wlllard. Wlllard's mighty margin
nbove all heavyweight competition has cost
him at least 1200,000.
He has fought but one ten-round battle
In over two years In the "Tnaln, because
there was no one around figured within
ten leagues of his class.
If he had been Just a trifle smaller and
Just a trifle less efficient ho might havo
easily secured one or two big paying con
tests each year, and In this way he could
havo added heavily to his Income, to say
nothing of securing additional advertising
for his circus.
As It ls, there Is no competition in sight
for him. Morris Is a Joke, nnd Fulton ls
too far away to carry any sort of show.
If Jess feels the urgent call for an en
gagement his only chanco seems to be with
one of tho husky pachyderms In his zoo.
Half-Strides
Packing a punch has nothing on the
ability to block one.
The front runner needs more gameness,
as a rule than the entry who can see Just
what he has to do.
Playing it safe Is generally good for an
If you consider that
even break,
while.
