"ntt :a . . ' .f As a Birthday Present, J. 0. Anderson Will Not Have to Work in Tennis Tournantenl f rn i t in - " - ii .. M $ y .' f m i s- i '! l',l SUCCESS OF isBRINGS CITY TO FRONT IN TENNIS r . Large Crowds and Shoiving Philadelphia as Center of Game Anderson Loses to Johnson Without Turning a Hair By ItOBEItT Fporls Editor Krenlnr l'ubllo Ledger , 'A PAIR of aces from Australia and California were thrown Into tbc dis- XV card at the Ocrmantown Cricket Club yesterday. J. O. Anderson, whtV balls from the subcquntorlal belt where they have wlutcr when we huvo summer, and vice vewn, did a nose dive In his match with Wallace Johnson, A well-known anil voting citizen of Philadelphia. 1'u. Willis Davis, of the highly advertised nnd often mentioned Golden Gate, perpetrated a falling leaf when he collided with William T. Tllden, who hBs the same standing In Philadelphia, Pa. A nose dive and falling leaf will ruin nny pair of aces, ao the meaning Anderson and Davis were swept up and the whlte-contcd, Rhlte-lldded nnd pnrtlj white-shod attendants cleaned and pressed the courts for the championship tilt today. For those Inclined to be sporty nnd place real bets on the match for the championship, we arc clad to be In a portion to hand out real Inside dope. Go the limit, moitgage the old homestead and hock the family Jewels nud bet the entire bundle that the Philadelphia!! will win. Hut be sure you pick on a stranger who doesn't know what it is all about. Philadelphia this week established Itself as the tennis center of the world. This In no hip, hip., he ray stuff, but based on actual facts. The crowds were larger than at any other tennis tournament and the spectators came out time and ojaln to get "more of the snme. The crowds of Tuesday and Wednesday were greater than any one expected, and the same goes for Thursday and yesterday. Tennis made n tremendous lilt In this city, and it Is safe to say thai the matches outdrew the ball games plajcd by the A's if that's what they arc playing this year. Sonic victory for tennis, we'd say. And there Is another angle to the Philadelphia end of the nrgument. TJiIs city has produced the two best tennis players In the United States and elsewhere this year, and to prove it they will meet today to see who gets the cup and the silver plate. In order to win the plate you have to lose, because It Is for the runner-up. which is slang for the guy who is nosed out at the linlsh and is awarded place money. Bill Tllden, because of his victory over Willis Davis, earned the right to step out in tfic open and defend all of the titles ho has won this year. Wallace Johnson, who triumphed over J. O. Anderson, is on the job to disputo Tllden's supremacy. Perhaps Wallace could do better In a whist game or hufflcboard, but today be will be ushered to the middle court, handed a tennis racquet and a few bulls nnd sicked on the champion of the universe. VJE WILL be allotted no seconds, trainers or advisers. lie must plan a solo, tchich is a cay of saying monologue. There icill be - no outside assistance. When he is led on the court and deserted it trill be every man for himself. n iet Jumps in Andy's Way ONE of the most interesting features of yesterday's matches was the sar torial exhibit of Andy of the Antipodes. Andy Is a long, lean guy. who Jooks like Percy Haughton, the Harvard footbnll coach, before Percy lost his Lair. Here the resemblance ceases, because Andy is a swell tenuis player. He stepped into the arena wearing a noisy blazer, composed entirely of blue except where the white braid border butted In. His hair was care fully brushed back, parted beautifully and keenly. His baggy trousers flopped , becomingly in the vagrant breeze and gave tilm an air of a man who was comfortable and knew It. But the greatest thing that happened in the afternoon was the perfect carc of the hirsute adornment. Andy was out there for more than two hours and played four tough, terrible sets. He took violent exercise, he did. and at the end not one single hair was out of place. In other words, he lost the opportunity to step into the final round without turning a hair. Johnson had to go some to win that four-set match, because if he hadn't le probably would have had to wait until the fifth set to win. Wallace was due to cop, because Andy had so many things working against him. For , example, the net had a habit of jumping up and getting in the way of his shots, stopping them like n fisherman on the Delaware Iliver stops a shnd. The sidelines and backllnes would shrink toward the middle on bis other shots and they landed In the open, where they helped no on but Johnson. ' And while all of this was going on Andy's hair never lost its part nor did any vagrant strand if they are strands wave in the breeze or get out of place. Although the perspiration rolled down his lean face and sprajed off his chin, he was not nnnojed with bangs over the eyes. Wallace recklessly wiped off his face and head, caring nothing for personal appearance. All he wanted was a victory. He won the point set or the set point In the final game as it should be .)fE-n a shot which was worth more than all of the rest of the match put to t. jethcr. Andy was getting away with a lot of stingy lobs, which barely rolled over the net and landed so close that one could not possibly reach them with out the aid of a motorcycle. HE KEPT putting those shots over on Johnson until Wallace got peeved or something like that. Johnson Pulls a Ted Meredith THE garfe went on, as all games go on, and the final point was being played in the fourth set. Andy was serving, and after his iervc had been re turned and a couple of volleys exchanged, the Australian ran up, tapped the I ball and lifted It over the net. It landed a couple of feet away and on the sideline a slow, tantalizing shot. Johnson waB in backcourt. He saw what his opponent was doing and did a Ted Meredith to the net. Nobody even dreamed he could get the ball that Is, nobody except Johnson. As the Inflated sphere kicked up the dust and bounced Wallace lunged forward and took a mighty swipe. His racquet hit the ground, but it also hit the ball. Over the net it went to the opposite side and fell safe a shot one couldn't get away with again even after jears of practice. Anyway, he put It over, and Andy was so surprised that he stood there, his bnir still' combed back, mouth open and a look of amazement on his face. When he realized what had happened he smiled, rushed to the net and congratulated the victor This was the best thing he could do. for if he hadn't Johnson would have congratulated him. Somebody has to be congratulated after every tennis brawl There were other excellent shots, but none could compare with the finale' Johnson played the court like a right fielder plays right field on his home grounds. He knew every inch of it. and when a stray shot wandered on the other side, instead of going after ittand using up a lot of euergj he stood still, took a good look and prepared to receive or serve the next ball He played what might be termed a foxy game of tennis. He never over-exerted himself and saved his strength for the time when it did the most good Our Will Tilden almost had a terribly exciting set with Willis Davis for in the first set it was nip and tuck, with the advantage in favor of neither nip or tuck. Willis annojed our Will with a lot of difficult shots which chnsed the champion all over the court and made his shoulders shake violent n h. tood on the receiving line, hands on his hips. "unnuj as he However, Willis grew fearfully exhausted after the first set which is a way of saying he flopped and took the count. Will had a remarkably easy time of It and won without any further nnnoyanrc. He left the court with Willis and the applause was divided between the two. 'TODAY is Anderson's birthday. He is twenty -six years old, and as a birthday present he doesn't have to do anything hut icatch the final match of the tournament.

I I Tonoy Holds the Bucs to Two Hits and Strotchos Load to 3'2 Games CLEVELAND JUMPS YANKS Looks like the Glnnts. Yesterday the New Yorkers handed the Pirates n stun ning reverse, when Big Fred Toucy, twirling his best game of the season, permitted the Buccaneers just two measly hits. This morning, according to the aver ages, the Giants hold n thrcc-nnd-one-hnlf-gamc advantage over the' Gibson crew. Two more games remain to be played, one this nfternoon and the other on Momlit. A sweep for the Giants and the race can bo handed to the New Yorkeis. The Plrntcs, in order to re main in the fight nt nil, must take the two remaining games and then the standing will show un advantage of a game anil n half for McGraw's charges. The odds are all with the Giants. The Pittsburgh pitching staff, which has been showing signs of faltering for the Inst two weeks and which has faltered to a certain extent, cannot commirc with McGraw's. Cooper and Adams remain to oppose the Giants, although .Morrison, who nns been going better than nny hurlcr on the staff, may be sent into the breach to stem the tide of reverse?. McGraw has Barnes, Nehf, Douglass and Shea to shoot at the Pirates, and if need be he can send Toncy back on Monday. Barnes twirled against the Beds on Thursday, so that makes it Nehf for this afternoon. The left hander won two gomes from the Pirates In New York recently. Cooper was knocked out of the box in his last start and probably will be sent in this nfter noon. That leaves Adams lor .Monuay or else Morrison. Two Little Hits Yesterday big Fred Toney had the Bucs nt his mercy throughout the game. Two hits, both in different frames, were the sole damage done to the big fellow. It was n sickening sight for the Pirate fans, whose hopes for a pennnnt winner have been blasted since thp first of Sep tember by the Giants. To mm turtner to their misery, along comes the sam team and makes it almost certain that their fond dreams are to be shattered. Hnmllton started on the mound for Hie Pirates nnd did well until the third, when a fusilade of baschits drove him to the showers. Raw-ling's single, Snvder's double, Toney's single. Ban croft's triple. Frich's double nnd Kellv's single sent five runs over the platter. Glazner relieved Hamilton after four runs had been scored. He. too, was later relieved when Yellowhorse went to the mound. The Indian stemmed the onslaught and held the Giants scoreless for the remainder of the game. Urban Shocker was said to be ready for the minors back in July when our Athletics went into St. Louis on the rest of a wave of prosperity that looked good for the future. Urban wns sent to the mound with the orders, 'tis snld, to win or bnrk to the bushes. Pitching as he did when in his hcydey Shocker stopped the Athletics nnd inetdentnllv sturtcd the A's on their losing streak that virtually killed off all chances of getting out of the cellar. Shocker Shocks Yanks Since that memorable game Shocker has been pitching brilliantly and yes terday, to add to his triumphs, he dumped the Yankees out of first plnee in the American League standing. He held the slugging Yanks to seven hits nnd three runs while his teammates were performing prodigious feats with the stick. While the Yanks were bowing, in de feat the Cleveland Indians were win ning a great battle from the Senators, and ns a result getting their heads at thij top of the heap for the prst time in several wecus. snnuiotter unie. twirling In his best form, nnd livine un to the prediction of Munngcr Speaker when the team was here this week, held the Senators to four scatterd hits and permitted nary a run. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, manager of the Detroit Tigers, gave about 2000 fans an example of his old-time speed out at Shibe Park yester day. Tho Georgian had two singles out on five trips to the platter. His first came in the fifth. He went to sec ond on a sacrifice and to third 'while Hcilman wns being tossed out nt sec ond on nn attempted double steal. While Roy Moore wbb winding up, preparatory to shooting the pill to Blue, Cobb started for home, nnd made as clean a steal of the old platter as haH been seen in many moons. In the sixth Tyrus tried to go from first to third on an infield- out, but he wns nipped on a quick throw Johnny Walker to Brazlll. Ty also cantered around center field as of old, taking one fly out of Heilman's hands in right and another from Vench over in left. Of course, the Tigers -won the game nnd in doing so banded the Athletics their eighth strnight defeat. Roy Moore, aforementioned, was on the hill for the Mncklets. He was touched for thirteen safeties nnd seven runs. Mile. Lenglen Sails Wednesday New York.

Instead of coming out with n flat defi to Jack Dempscy, It is Andrews' plan to hnve Carpenter meet some of the les ser heavyweight lights; then, on the strength of past performances begin working on a world's championship bnttle. ' Hrennnn arrived in Philadelphia Inst night from St. Louis, where he was rendered a referee's decision over Hugh Walker after twelve rounds. The Chi ctigonn showed no marks of that bat tle, nnd announced himself in splendid condition for tonight's meeting with Carpenter. Janet 1 1 Matchnialicr The National this season is under the direction of Joe Wenkc nnd Al Jan nctti, who have been connected with boxing for some time. This Is their first effort in promoting ring matches on a big scale. Jannetti is doing the matchmaking, nnd he says ho will try to give Philadelphia fans as good a brand of boxing ns has been the way at the South Philadelphia club in the past. Two other out-of-town boxers are on the season's initial program. They arc Mike t'rnlno, of Washington, D. C, and Eddie Kripps. from Chicago. Uralne will appear in the semi-final, with Tommy Loughrnn, of South Phila delphia, as the person of the second part, while Kripps will be paired with Robby McCann, of Grays Ferry. The other encounters will be between Wally Nelson, of Souttiwark, and Har ney Itellly. of the Seventeenth Ward. and Tommy Devlin, of Manayunk, and r rankle Alder, of south Philadelphia After Friedman Johnny Mealy, local hard-hitting right-hander, was an Interested witness of the last Tendler-Friedman contest Thi1 same Mealy person helped put Tendler in shape for that contest, and hp was anxious to have the southpaw return a winner. Now Mealy comes out with n bold challenge, and the Sailor is the man whom John wants to meet. Mealy admits that Friedman is as rugged n lightweight as ever stepped into n l'hiladelphla ring. Hut still, after watching him in action against Tendler, Johnny believes he can make a better showing ngalnst Friedman than the mariner did against the Phila delphia southpaw. "I boxed with Tendler for a week," said Mealy today, "and. even though I say it myself, I think I made a bet ter showing against Lew In tho gym nasium than Friedman did ngalnst him nt the ball park the other night. I nm lu perfect shape and expect to have a lot of good battles this fall. Friedman would be my ideal for a starter."

Wc asked Hun ter what he considered hfs hardest match in the British title hunt at Hoy lake, whero so many American stars went down ns a brick may skid from the top of a Bkyscrapcr. "My hardest match, or closest match," he said, "was my easiest one. One of my opponents wns a man I had played with quite often. I had been able to start him C and 0 up without great trouble. In this match I won the first three holes, and from that point on I couldn't get above his game. lie wasnt setting ore nny llrcworks, but I could no longer drive myself to go nt top speed. I knew it would be n nice thing to get a ble lead, will nulcklv and save that much walking. But I couldn't get going and we finally finished closer than any other match I had." As Your Opponent Is WHEN Bobby Jones in the same championship was nlp-and-tuck with Hamlet, nn ordlnnrv nlsver. wn asked him what the trouble was. Both were then traveling at about an 87 clip, where Jones had turned in a 74 against Manford, a topnotch player. "His gamo is bad." said Bobby, "but I can't keep from playing like he does. tiiuii no iitacs au, i wko a u, nna it I try a little harder I take a T. If fie could only get some 3s and 4s I be lieve I could do tho same." At which point Hamlet tonoeJ his next two attempts, Jones missed his next two and another simple fourth hole was halved In Os. And then again a heavy slump by your opponent works just the other way, bringing renewed confidence nnd greater poise. It all depends which is merely a statement and not an an swer. Mastering Short Holes HUNTER is a great believer in mastering short holes bv constant play. He worked out this scheme at Hoylakc and won most of them during his championship march. ne haB been working out the same plan at St. Louis. He believes tbnt in a mca'ul round scores arc made and wrecked on the short holes ns an aver age propostion.

On'y about half ns many golfers ns last year teed off today In the eighteen -hole elimination round of the national amateur chnm pionship nt the St. Louis Country Club. Rut the players had been limited to handicap five-men for most part, and tho 144 starters comprised the cream of the United States, besides Willie Hunter, chnmpion of Great Britain, and Raymond Swift, nnother Briton, two Canadians nnd two Scotchmen. Among those contesting the title were four former winners, nnd the present chnmpion,. "Chick" Evans, who did not reach the links until today, just be fore he teed off. , Two former champions, among the original entrants, Jerome Trnvers nnd E. M. Bycrs, withdrew, the latter be cause of illness, but H. Chandler Egnn, Portland; Francis Otiimet, Boston; Davidson Herron, Chicago, and Robert Gardner, another Chlcagoan, were in the play. Of the 144 starters ninety- four were from Western Stntes, ten from Southern States and six from for eign countries. Warm weather, with much humidity, made tho players swelter, and, while some complained that this affected their gamo adversely, others welcomed the atmospheric condition. The greeim nre soft enough to hold any shot thnt has not been wholly mlsplayed and the sloping fairways were less dangerous for a ball that tended to trickle to the rough. Players in the practice rounds and the lnter-scctlonal team matches re turned mnny mediocre scores, but Bobby Jones yesterday set a course record of 70. ono under par for the 0331-yard links. Among other good scores that havo been made in practice were : Willie Hunter, England, 71 ; II. It. Johnston, St. Paul, 71 ; Jesso Guilford, Boston, 73, and "Chick" Evans, who played the course several days ago in 71. The largest Pacific Coast contingent ever entered in the event tried for places. Among sixty-four who will sur vive today's medal play no fewer than ten players recruited for II. Chandler Egan started in the championship. BURNS AND JUDGE DRAW Battle to an Even Break In Cambria Eight-Round Wind-Up Martin Judge, 120 pounds, battled Andy Burns, 110 pounds, to n draw in tho eight -round wind-up nt the Cambria A. C. last evening. Despite tho fact that Martin had an advantago of seven pounds on his adversary, Burns carried the fight from the Btart. Judge made a decided rally in the clos ing sessions, but this advantage failed to minimize the work of Burns In the earlier rounds and he was clearly en titled to a draw. In the scml-wlndiip, Young Mulli gan, of this city, defeated Joe Myers, of Washington, in on eight-round nf fair. The other results: Jimmy Mc Govern disposed of George Holly In the third : Buddy Ryan knocked out August Franks In tho second nnd Jimmy Bax ter won a fast six-round encounter from Kid McCoy.
