Oamcs w 11 be played nil over the place, preliminary, semi-final and final rounds will be staged, and the VERY best plnjcrs will be on the job to aid in the experiment. AH of this will be done nt the natlouat men's singles championship tournament tho greatest tennis event ever held In Philadelphia. It takes n lot of training to be n g iod player in this game of ins, outs, backhands and forehands, to say nothing of net and courts, but the player is not the only one who has to be in condition. The spectator who sits in the stands also must go through a strenuous course In tiaiuing. for it Is neces sary to know all of tho rules and regulations. Watching a tennis match Is hard work If the watcher is of an exuberant nntuio. lie can t cut loose nnri to away leaving his conversation running, as is the case at fights and ball games, lie can't tell the nthletcs they arc a "coupla bums or urge them to put over a sock on the chin and wallop somebody over the right field wall. This Is not being done in our very best matches. No rough stuff Is pulled. No bonc-hcadfd plays aie recognised and cheering cannot be done with tho deuces wild. ... , , . Kunny thing, a tennis crowd. To the uninitiated it is n reminder ot Bumdrops nnd cream puffs. However, when one learns what It Is nil about one- is surprised to discover the highest tj pe of sportsmanship, where praise is showered on the victor and sympathy extended to the victim. When the championship mat. lies stmt at Mnnheim nc Friday thousands ot Fhlladelphiant. will be there to have a look. Soma will be there for the first time and making their debut as o. witnesses. Thoe neophytes must watch their step and check theii volres at the front gate. Mild cheeilng is permissible, but not while the athletes are performing. It la against the ethics of the game to-become excited during a volley, but if somebody slams the ball for what is known as a Mil or makes a pretty placement shot out of teach of the man on the other side of the net you arc permitted to npplnud, shout "Wcll-plajed. old top." or discuss the merits of the blow with jour neighbor. The cheering must cease when play Is resumed and the outburst saved until another point is earned. However, If a player hits the ball luto the net or knocks it outside, ignore It. Don't hand out the razz to boys like at the ball park when somebody whiffs with three on. Mistakes are overlooked because anybody is likely to make them. Were it not for mistakes they would stop building erasers on lead pencils. Mild, subdued, genteel, polite, calm nnd unperturbed applause can be handed out at opportune moments, but sec that the moment are opportune. 5PHCTAT0HS should go into strict training at once for the big championship tourney. In order to get into perfect condition, we advise a trip to the hall park and cheer only when the home team wins. Big Turnout at Davis Cup Matches WHILE on the subject of crowds, the attendance at the Davis Cup matches at Forest Hills last week cannot be overlooked. The turnout at the games on Frtdav and Pnturrinv was proof that tennis Is n popular sport and growing bigger all of the time. On Fridii) approximate!. 1 1.000 spectators were in the stands and about 10,000 were on the job Saturday. Of course, the International competition caused some interest, but nobody expected 2.". 000 customers in two days. Ichi.va Kumagae and Zenzo Shlmidzu are great tennis players, overcame all opposition and earned the right to enter the challenge round against the United States, but they could not be compared with Tllden and Johnston. It was a foregone conclusion that the Americans would win in straight sets, and this was supposed to affect the attendance. Nobody knew on the first day that Shlmidzu would give Tllden such a battle and come within two points of defeating the champion of the world. Had theie been any inkling of this, temporary stands would have been necessary to take care of the overflow. But according to the grandoldope this shouldn't have happened. The Japs had been defeated before, and by men who didn't have u Chinaman' chance with Tllden or Johnston. Therefore, we insist that tennis must be popular to draw such a mob to witness what seemed to be one-sided matches. Another tip-off on the popularity of the game was In the final set of the doubles matches Saturday. A seere ruin storm delnjed the game two hVTu'rs and the spectators sought shelter under the grand stand, trees and other available spots. They were soaked to the skin nnd presented a bedrag gled, woebegone appearance, but about "000 remained to the finish, all wet bat happy. The tennis fan is a very peculiar person. ALTHOUGH tieo singlet matches will be played today, the result JrX trill Tinre no bearing on the Davis Cup, The I nited States holdt it another year, having icon the first and Johnston lose today, the score home folks. Japs Are Wonderful Sportsmen JAVA'S made a favorable Impression in the challenge round and proved that her athletes were thorough sportsmen who knew how to play the game and bitterly dispute every point until the end. Shlmidzu and Kumflgnc never quit, no matter how great the odds were against them, and the final point was harder to make than the first. The matches were closer than the score Indicated. In many games the points went to deuce, nnd had the Japs had any kind of luck nr had they been favored by the breaks in the gnme mimy defeats would have been con verted into victories. For example, Slilmidzu needed on'j two points to win the third set from Tllden. but lie cou'dn't come through. Critics nt Forest Hills were mui h Impressed with the play of the for eigners. They depend nlmost entirely upon n defensive game, keeping away from the net ns much as possible and sticking to the baseline. On the attack they seldom are brilliant because of their conservativenesK, They get the ball back and allow their opponents to make the errors. Some of their re turns, however, are marvelous. They are -n lithe and active that they can run all over the court nnd lav their nt -r i t on balls that look like sure points. But their sportsmanship Ik the ; e.lomlnant feature. Shlmidzu and Kumagae were wonderful in defeat and everv person who saw the matches was for them. That little act of courtesy at the end of a match, when the removed their hnts and wolked to the nt t to congratulate the victors, mudc more of a hit with the spectators than anything else. TAKING it all in all, the stircesi of the Pavii Cup mutches presaqci a wonderful week of tennis at Manhrtm. Seats have been con structed in huge stands and a croird of lj,000 can he accommodated. The croicds should be grtatcr in this tournament than ever before. i'ewrath Benefit on Wednesday Night 'A BENEFIT ball game will be played next Wednesday evening at Fifty Jti fourth street and Florence avenue, when the I.kuckh baseball team meets the Aldlne Club. This game will be pluveri to raise funds for l'rnt-t Kewrath, an oldtime bull player and former steward of the Continental Hute' in the days of Frank Kimball. Newrnth has been blind for jears. but hns hopes of seeing again. He i under treatment and believes an opemtlnn will be successful. It Is to assist in paying for this treatment that the hall game has been arranged. The steams play for nothing and Bill Barton, the Hilldalc umpire, also has donated his services. The entire affnir Is in the hands of a neighborhood committee and T. J Young is clinlrmnn. A collection will be taken up at the game and everj cent will be turned over to New rath. It Ik a worthy cause and the spctators not only will see a high-class ball game, but also help a man who really needs it.

The Yankees In the space of seven days cut down the lead of n game and a hnlf which the Indians held, and moved up to a similar advantage over the world's champions. The Giants, who trailed the Pirates by two and one-hnlf games last Mon day, arc now only one game behind the lenders and going at n faster pace than Gibson's club. Handicaps yet remain In the path of the Olants, but they do not appear s insurmountable as did the seven -game lend of Pittsburgh only two weeks ago. The main disadvantage is that Me (raw's pennant hunters must make another swing through the West, must play most of their panics away from familiar scenes and npplaudiug crowds. Pittsburgh's pennant entry will be nt homo most of the time from now to the end of the season, and the Pirates have siilfereil two defeats less thnti the Giants. In these two respects an ad antnge rests with the Corsairs. It is possible, however, that the dif ference in defeats may be wiped out ere another sun sets, or nt least sime time during the week. Once this hap pens the lone handicap for the Giants will be that of plajing away from home. The McGr.iwinen must play six games at home and seventeen on the road, while the Pirates play ninetcn lit home nnd six away. The Yankees nre In an excellent posi tion and the .schedule for the tcmninder of the season is all in their favor. Futthennnre, the New York pitchers are showing fine form nnd the Clove land s;aff is performing in an uncertain manner. I'ovelskiu may be of little use to the lndinns for the. remainder of the season and Sothoron cannot carry the burden alone. The Yankees must lose four games more than Cleveland loses during the remainder nf the senson to finish behind the Ifl'JO champions. Of the remaining twenty-nine games on the New Yoik schedule, twenty will b- played at the Polo Grounds, while five others at Philadelphia provide little to worrj about, in view of the Hug men's past performances nt Shibc Park. Cleveland hns five more games nt home and twenty-one on tho road. When the Yankees come back from Boston tomorrow night there will re main onl six more games for them to i)lu away from the Polo Grounds, the five nt Philadelphia and the gunie which was postponed yesterday at Washington. I'hat probably will be plaed off on an pen date at Washington. Glints Lose Ground Hie New York Giants lost ground yesterday in their rush to overtake the Pirates in the National League. While the Pcnnsylvnnlans added a victory to their percentage column in a twelve inning contest with Cincinnati, the Poston Braves checked the New York's winning streak. Pitcher Oeschger, of Boston, was hard for the Giants to hit snfely. Bos. ton outfielders had twelve putouts, half of them by Southworth, who also de cided the game with a home run in the fifth Inning, scoring two runs ahead of him. In the Amerlcnn League, Cleveland hit the ball safely fourteen times in winning from Detroit, gaining half n game on the league-leading Ynnkecs who were idle in Washington due to rain. Tho leaders were fifteen points nhead of Cleveland. Bight Fielder Smith, of Cleveland, furnished a bat ting feature with a home run with two men on base.

Donovan -Armstrong has. applied for admission into the select company from across the river ; but. according to Jim Bonner, manager of the Shanahan, he expects to take care of both In due time.

He say nn Arbitration Com mittee should have been appointed to settle disputes, ns the gamo that was counted lost for the Sphns in the opener should never have counted that way. lie does not object to his team losing, hut says so much money should never have changed hands on the way the "ame ended. As far a.s Is known, the second con test will be plaed tills afternoon tii Thirteenth and Johnson streets. The Old -Timers were credited with n vic tory in the initial clash, but the Sphas had taken the lend when the umpire-In-chief called the game, nnd the fig ures reverted to the previous Inning, which gave the Old -Timers the victory.

Hut the overpowering heat llnnlly proved too much for tho frail White marsh star, and ho was trimmed In a linrd battle by Charles Ileckner. Rcck ner now plays from Ccdarbrook. Though barely in his twenties, It Is said lie began to play golf fifteen years ago. lie used to bo the expert caddy over nt the old Bclficld Country' Club, nnd could turn thnt course right handily in SO or better In those days. He first began to be noticed as n promising golfer when he held forth at Cobbs Creek, from which he went to Stenton nnd then to Ccdnrbrook. It was his first finnls on Saturday after noon, though he cut n deep swath in the Philadelphia championslp. Against Marston ho never got going. He had but n single pnr hole going out, the long fifth. He was not ac curate ns to direction, probably due to playing before the gallery nntl against the stonewnll golf Marston trotted out for tlie occasion. Five down nt tho turn, Itcckncr might have had n chance, after halving the tenth, but he was concerting no putts, nnd thnt cost him n chance to win tho eleventh. Murston vlrtunlly drove the edge of the green, but took four to get down, Itcckner trying to putt a short, one with Marston's ball on the edge. He won the twelfth, but though Mnrston took it ,ri at the short thir teenth, Itcckncr failed to get on the green from the bank where it looked like ,a 4 nt the worst. If he'd won theie three hole In ft row all would have changed. But he didn't. Marston has proven his class in the few starts possible this year, and if he goes the same way nt Ht. Louis many a good ono will have to fall hack he fore his shots in the national cham pionship. Standings of Teams in Little Baseball Leagues MAIN I.INB LEACJUn V. U' P. a W. I P.C.

LABOR DAY MIXTURE Flotilla of Athletes Has Taken Laboring Mans fligjjj, UUt Of tils sirms vcvuswtis jur ooxing, Baseball, Tennis,Golf, Etc. By GRANTLAND 1MCE Sporting Mottoes lie who has no alibi Will always le a lonesome guy. Those who look before they leap Will never have much causa to weep A'or know adventure' thrilling sweep. When you begin to feel your head Has started In to swell, Tho time has como to go to bed Before you have a spell. , Of all diseases, East or West, The Puffed Dome is the leading pest. , He who gives his best in store Won't have to bother with the score: Content to know, what might befall, No cove can give beyond his all, ALAIIGE flotilla of earnest athletes has walked dp to the laboring man and hns taken his Labor Day right out of his arms. For Labor Day is now n bewildering mixture of boxing mntches. hall games, tennis contests, golf competitions nnd exciting what nots. It is the day of double-headers, upper cuts, ground strokes nnd missed putts In sucli end less profusion thnt one now hns to take the following Tuesday off in order to check up on what happened. Provided, of course, he hns the sporting Instinct of tho times. If he hasn't, there Is hardly enough left on the outer fringes of existence to be worth while. BACK In June Jack Dcmpsey looked upon Labor Dny for another finan cial harvest. The least he could sec was another hogshead full of doubloons. But Wlllard's memory hnnncned to be just a whit too keen. For all that, the spectacle of a big, husky ex-champion with no desire for n return match is a trifle unusual. But how many who re ceived whnt Wlllnrd got two years ago would clamor for nn encore? Tho Final Dash rplIE American League flag affair -L seems to have resolved Itself Into this outline: Can Cleveland on the road grind out more victories than the Yankees nt home? These two clubs were virtually even nt this stage last year, when Cleveland's fine home stand nnd New York's rocky road play through September left Speaker In charge of the top. Speaker's personal leadership was a big factor in last September's Indian rally at the last frontier, but the Ynnks finishing nt home with' so many long range hitters gives them n fnr better chance than the one they botched up a year ago.
