which alro had taken almost four hours
to decide, with Samuel Pennock In the
semifinal round of the junior center
Championships "WhewT exclaimed
Dornhelm, "this 13 some sport. I would
rather play a football game with the
Glmbel Trophy nt stake or play against

that."
Star Junior Players
Beck and Dornhelm are not the only
ones entered In the annual cn-tcrn Penn
oylvanlf. tournament who expressed their
views that tennis is one of thp met
strenuous sports of the age Hut the
two Junior players, along with two
jthers. Gerald Emeron, of l'nst Ornnge.
N. J., and Carl Fischer, of Lower
Merlon, have played moro than their
share during the last week.
On Thursday Beck plaved a semifinal
ronud match In the junior championship
of Pennsylvania with Carl Fischer and
qualified to meet Gerald Kmerson In the
final round, which will be played today.
Kmerson qualified by defeating Dorn
helm In a three-set match But this was
only half their day's work, for they com
peted In the men's single.
They were out on the courts bright
and early yesterday morning and were
kept busy until after Z o'clock last night.
Both played a four-set match with Carl
Fischer, while Dornhelm played a sim
ilar contest with Samuel Pennock. They
started to play at 11 o'clock and were
not finished until half past 2. At 3:30
Emerson and Dornhelm paired together
to meet rtodney Beck and Carl Fischer
In the final round of the junior doubles
championship of the State.
Fischer Had Cramps
It was necessary for the match to
go the fuli five sets before the winner
was decided. Along In the third game
of trie fifth set with the score dead
locked Carl Fischer was seized by a
slight attack of cramps and It was neces
sary to hold up play for fifteen minutes.
But that Isn't all. Beck was sched
uled to have met Parker, the sensational
Callfornlan now stationed at the navy
yard, in the fourth round of the men's
singles, wnne uornnelm and Kmerson

burgh club and a member of the Na
tlonal League schedule committee, left
Immediately after the conference for
Cleveland, where he -will confer with the
American League officers In reference
to rearranging the schedules so that a
world s series may be held, providing the
Junior association Is in favor of the
usual seasonal baseball climax. Dreyfus
was given full power to represent the
National League, and the latter organi
zation will abide by any agreement he
mav make.
The wording of the National League
resolution Is such that the pennant sea
son may be ended considerably In ad
vance of September 2 in case it Is neces
sary to complete lhe world series h
the end of the present month.
ReportB from American League offi
cials Indicate that this Is the desire
of the majority of the club owners of
that organization in order that thera
may be no conflict with the ruling of
Secretary Baker. If Dreytus acquiesces
to this arrangement the post-season
championship series mav bo staged on
or about August 20. This would give
nt lsast ten week ri.-ivs In which tn nlav
the beat four-out-of-seven. games neces- '
rary to ueciae tne winner. All tne -National
League club owners are In favor
of tuch a series, and as the American
League magnates are understood to hold
similar opinions. It Is said, the ques
tion of suitable dates for the series is
the only one to be settled
Those In attendance at the meeting
here yesterday were Presidents Baker,
of Philadelphia club; Hempstead, of New
York; Ebbets, of Brooklyn; Dreyfus,
of Pittsburgh ; John K Tener. president
of the league; A. C. Wise, of the Bos
ton Club, and P. D. Haughton, former
president of the Boston Club. Haugh
ton, who appeared In the uniform of a
major, stated that he was taking the
opportunity to bid his former fellow
magnates good-by, as he was taking up
his military duties.
None of those w.ho attended the meet
ing was able to state what would, be the
ultimate outcome of the conference with
the American League officials. It was
Intimated that in case a world series
could not be aranged the league's sched
ule would be continued until the close of
Aurust. There waa no expression of
opinion as to whether the remaining
Sames nf the regular schedule should be
oubled up la order to complete the full
1S4. contests or how many games should
be played before August 20, In case that
date Is selected for the opening of the
world series.
Should both leagues agree to begin the
series on August 20 It Is probable the
regular pennant season will be ter
minated on Saturday, Auguat 17, and
th rival enmmnanons sriven iwo aava
to prepare for the Interleague clath. If
the present schedules remain unchanged
August 17 would And the eastern Na
tional League clubs playing In the West
while the American League contests
would be under wajr,on eastern dia
monds. ... . j ,
Including the results of yesterday's
games, Chicago is leading by 5tt games
over the New York team In the National
League, and Boston Is 4H games ahead
of Cleveland In the American League.
Both these leads would be a promising
margin to work on should It be decided
to end the seasons on or about August 17,
