By SPICK HALL
Lengwood Cricket Club, Chestnut Hill,
Boston, Aug. 17.
BEFOBE piny In the second round
of the nntlonnl lawn tennis doub1n
....... n mn beean today, yesterday's
' matches were played oyer verbally by
he participants uuu iiic .....,?. -..;
outstanding feature of the opening dny,
' with the possible exception of the op
' France of William T. Tllden, 2d,
hfrmantown Cricket Club nnd the other
mmbers of the United Stated Davis'
run team, was the flno performance of
William .T. Clothier, of Philadelphia.
In the recent tournament at Sea
Brtoht, Clothier gave some Indication
that ho Is coming back with a vengeance
In his tennis play. Yesterday his game
was not only good for a man who wns
champion over a decade ago, but It wns
good for anybody regardless of age or
tennis ranking.
Clothier was pnlred tip with nnother
wchamplon. Heals C. Wright, of Bos
ton. The veterans were pitted against
the young western stars. Willis I'.
' Davis, formerly of the University of
'Pennsylvania, and Bolnnd Roberts. The
coast tram finally won out In four sets,
0-4 0-4, 4-6, 0-3, but only after one
of the keenest battles seen on the turf
courts here this season. The former
kings of the court didn't win, but they
I gave an exhlibtion of court tactics that
1 was a delight to the tennis eye.
Time and again ooui wrigni nmi

on short-court and cross-court shoM,
Bad Wright been in Better lorm tne
veterans would have won the match
easily. As It wns the margin of points
was very close and It wns only after
Wright had completely lost his grasp
of the situation thnt he nnd Clothier
took the count.
In the last set Clothier nnd Wright,
after their rest, started out with a rush
that indicated the match would go live
sets. They quickly carried the score to
3-1 and were speeding nlong nt u great
clip, when Wright fell down in his
plav. Ho wns visibly tired during the
third set. but it was believed thnt he
would be nblo to play his came nt top
speed after the rest period. However,
i recuperation wns short-lived nnd he
suddenly seemed to become bo wenk
ihyslrnlly thnt it wns nn eitort tor nun

that high order which one tnlijht expect

lie handled theso shots so dexterously
that Roberts and Davis were left nu
nierous times flat-footed in the back of
the court walehlng the ball bound ncross
as nenrly parallel to tho net ns strokes
can bo made.
The Phlladelphlan's returns of the
fast service of the two westerners was
another bright snot lo his nlny. In spite
of-this sizzling delivery. Clothier scored
many placements standing bnck of the
base line. He managed to conceal his
shots so we 1 thnt he wns nhle to Ynakc
a lot of points by passing the man nt
the net down his allev.
iTih1ucon(lt P'ny had all of tho .luck
with them, too. On eleven occasions the
ball hit the net cord nnd the bnll fell
just oyer, nnd only twlrc were Clothier
nnd V, right nblc to mnkc n return.
Bill Tllden wns tho big center of nt
trnction before the mntches began. He
was nrrnyed In his Wimbledon sweater
and wore the "rubbers" in whlrh he
played on tho famous center court in
his matches for the world's champion
ship with Herald Patterson. Bill has
not changed In the least regarding his
practice since he became world-famous.
After he nnd Onrland had won their
doubles mntches from K. C. Beaver and
(J. T. Putnam. Bill plnyed singles
ngalnst Onrlnnd nnd then took on young
Arnold Jones for n set. Tilden stated
soon after he nrrlved from Knglnnd that

A big crowd gathered around to see
Tilden nnd Onrland bent Senver nnd

which shows clearly thnt it wns ljot
really n inntch. In fnct, Tllden didn't

realized thnt everybody wanted to se'e
him piny, nnd ho gnvo the crowd its
money's worth. Some one roninrkcd
that in the three sets Bill did not use
tho snmo stroke twice. It wnsn't quite

ably tho greatest variety of strokes ever

And, to tho delight of tho gallery,
Bill made reninrknbly few errors, al
though his daring wns supreme. He

his cntnputtic service to the soft- block

the accident, but bceeed nuestioucrs not

Followers of the snort were inclined
todav to believe thnt, although the loss

in the rnco for the American League
Wnnant, the Ynnkecs, too, would suffer
from tho accident. They pointed out
that a few years ago, after accidentally
pitting a player with a ball while pitch
ing for the Washington Americans.
Walter Johnson failed to show his usual
form in succeeding games, so affected
wai he by the accident.
Chapman's death cast gloom over the
members of both teams and the base

think the ball had struck his bat. Slavs,
who pitched tho bnll, acting under thls
Impresslon, fielded th boll that re
bounded half way to tho pitcher's box
and threw it to first base in order to
retire Chapman. Then it was notiocd
that Chapman had collapsed- at tho
home plate. He wns Ufted to his feet
by other players, then ho stood dazed
for a moment, staggered and crumpled
up nt their feet. Physicians were im
mediately called from the grand stand

CHAPMAN TRAGEDY FIRST
OF KIND IN BIG LEAGUES
Carl Mays, Whose Deadly "Sinker" Curve Killed Cleveland
Player, Has Hit Many Batsmen Hurled Ball at Fan Hera
"1AIIL MAYS, who wns snld to hnvo
been proud of his ability to "dust
'em off" from the plnte nnd his perfect
control of the "benn bnll," has dis
covered nt Inst how effective that form
of delivery can bo.
The death of nay Chapman, due to n
fractured skull nfter being hit on the
hend by a pitched bnll at the Polo
Grounds yesterday, Is an example of
what can happen. Chnpmnn wns nccl
dentnlly hit by Mays, nnd his death Is
the first from that cause In either of the
major leagues.
Two years ngo Johnny Dodge was hit
In the hend by Tom Bodgers in n gnme
down In Mobile nnd died from the In
jury. Bodgers, who wns given a tryout
with the Athletics last year, wns ex
onerated after being arrested by the au
thorities. Mays has been noted for his under
hand delivery, which had been nick
named the "submnrlnc ball." He
seemed to start It from the ground nnd
tho ball, when it came up to the plate,
was known as a "sinker." That Is.Jhe
ball spun to the right, the same ns" a
billiard ball when hit high. Thus the
ball hits nn object with great force and
has a tendency to go through Instead of
bouncing off immediately.
Hit Many Batters
Since joining the league In 1015.
-Mays has hit many batsmen. In fact,
the batters always aro on the lookout
n,nd several nre forced to fall to the
ground In every gnme to avoid bring hit.
The 1 1015 and 1016 records are not
available but In 1017 he hit fourteen,
which was the top figure in the Ameri
can League: eleven in 1018 nnd ten Inst
yenr.
I W"J bo remembered thnt Mnys
threw n bnll into the crowded stand in
Hhibo Park laRt year and hit Bvrnn
Hnycs, a spectator, In the head. 'Mr.
Hayes swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of Mnys. but the pitcher did not
come back to Philadelphia until Mr.
Haves voluntarily called it off.
Hayes proved himself to be a good
sportsman, for he refused to accept any
monetnry settlement, but because of his
friendship for Colonel Houston he was
willing to let the matter drop.
"A baseball In the hands of n pitch
er like Mays Is just ns dnngerons ns n
londed revolver," Mr. Hayes said when
he nsked for the warrant.
Mays hns been n big figure in base
ball in the last year. When he beenmc
dissatisfied with the Red Sox nnd re
fused to piny with thnt club he wns
sold to the New York Yankees. Bnn
Johnson refused to rntlfy the denl nnd
the war in the Amorlcnu League stnrtcd.
This almost wrecked the junior organi
zation, but peace wns declnrcd Inst win
ter. Mnys nlno hns the distinction of ruin
ing one of the most promising hitters
Connie SInck hnd In yenrs. In 1017 he
took Frank Thrasher from Atlanta and
used him In the regular llnc-up. Frank
wasn't much of nn outfielder, but could
hit the bnll. One day he was "bcancd"
by Mars, nnd from thnt time be hnsn't
been nble to hold n Job In any league.
That blow In the head ruined him for
alt time.
The moit recent accident of tho kind
that befell Chapman occurred in the
South last spring, when, during tho
trnlnlng gnmes of the Brooklyns nnd
1 tinkers, n bnll thrown by Jeff Pfeffcr,
tho big Brooklyn pitcher, struck
"Chick" Fcwsteron thejiead. Fcwster
was in the hofcpltol for severnl weeks
nnd hnd to undergo nn operntlon for n
frncturcd skull. Pfeffcr wns off form
for eeveral weeks, but Improved whea
It become apparent that Fcwster would
recover.
Another widely-known case in which
a player was knocked out by a pitched
ball was that of Hugh Jennings, now
manager of the Detroit Americans, but
then a member of tho chnmplonshlp
Baltimore team, who was unconscious
for some time nfter having been hit by
a ball pitched by Amos Kusle, of tho
New ork Nationals.
Another accident was that which
befell Boy Corhon, of the White Sox, In
this city In 1011. Corhnn, then a re
cruit shortstop from the coast, wns hit
on the head by Russell Ford, former
Yankee star spltballcr. For three days
Corhon wns, unconscious, hbvering be
tween life nnd death nnd, although he
recovered from the Injury, his career
n the big lengue wns cut short nnd he
fell back to the minors. Ford was so
badly affected by the mishap that he
could not sleep while Corhan was un
conscious nnd later had to bo sent to
Atlantic City for two weeks to pull
himself together.
wJ.roo ?ca.r.T-',,a,?0.IInrry GlenBon,
brother of "Kid" Gleason. was hit
on the head with a ball pitched bv
"Rube", Waddell The accinVnt ruined
Oleasc-n s baseball enreer. He is now
in business in Cnmden.
Hnrry Davis Explains "Sinker"
Ilnrry Davis, of the Athletics, was
shocked when he learned of the death of
Chapman this morning.
"Chnpmnn wns n brilliant ball play
er, ' said Davis, "and his trngic death
will be n severe blow to the Cleveland
Club. "
Explaining the pitch which killed
the Cleveland shortstop. Davis snid :
"This curve Is thrown underhand,
and is nn oittshoot to a right-hand bat-
CARL MAYS
Pitcher of the New York Ameri
can League Club, who threw the
ball that killed Kay Chapman,
shortstop of the Cleveland Club
ter, such as Chapman. The peculiar
twlt the ball receives makes it like a
leaden weight, and when It strikes the
hands of the receiver he feels as If his
arms wero bolng driven Into his should
ers. "Little short of n miracle could save
a man from death after being hit on
the head by such a ball when thrown
by a speedy pitcher.
"Amos Runic, former pitcher of the
New York Glnnts, had as much speed
as any hurlcr ln the big leagues. He
'bcaned' several plnyers, but they felt
no 111 effects.
"This shows the difference between
the bnll he pitched nnd the 'sinker'
thrown by Mays."
Charles C. Cravath, manager of the
Phillies, expressed genuine sorrow over
Chapman's untimely end.
"Chnpman's denth has removed from
major league baseball one of its most
brilliant exponents," he said. "Besides
being a great player, Chapman was a
gentleman on nnd off the field, nnd his
friends were legion. He wns a fnvorite
with the fans throughout the circuit."
Mnnagcr Gleason nnd the members
of the Chicngo White Sox, who nre here
to begin n scries tomorrow with the
Athletics, were unanimous In their
praise of the unfortunate Cleveland
player, and all expressed deep regret
nt his untimely death.

nlon, and Joe Roseman were bracketed
Into the play this morning, due to the
default of Arthur Clorkson, Kenosha,
nnd George Fothcringham, Glen Cove,
L. I. Hutchison bent a star field over
an equally bnked Chicngo course for his
western title nnd Is highly favored in
this piny, nfter his fino plnylng in the
nntlonnl open, unless he proves to be
overgolfcd.
Barnes has also shown a tinge of the
latter defect In his preliminary play
here, as he has plnyed more competitive
golf this year than any other entrant.
In this case Leo DIegcl, the young
Chicago flash ; Clarence Hackney, At
lantic City ; Willie McFnrlane or Char
lie Hoffner, Phllmont, are favdred to
come through.
An Interesting match this morning
went away when Pat O'Hara, Shacka
maxon. nnd J. Douglas Edgar, Atlanta,,
Canadian open champion, teed off.
.The players have all been through a
hard siege of vlrtunlly continuous
medal play, and in the final outcome of
the championship it Is expected that
physical condition as well as ability to
copo with the course, will tell the final
tale.
The play lasts five days.
