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.

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.

at National
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
fly LOUIS H. JAFFE
The Rtnpp is nil set for the curtain
rnislnsr on the well-known fall attrac
tion boxlnif. Philadelphia's oldest ring
arena, which means the Nntlonnl A. A.,
on South Klevcnth street, will have its
doors thrown open tonight under new
mnnnpeinent, and the main melee will
bo a heavyweight hltfest between "Hill"
Urcnnan. of Chicago, and "Ned"JDnr
penter, nil the way from Australia. This
will be the lntter's debut In the East.
Carpenter wns brought to jthe United
States by "Tom" Andrews, of Mil
waukee. The Middle Western imprc
sario has sent on a lot or copy lauding
the Antipodean ns a future champion.
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."

COBB FOUR POINTS
BEHIND HEILMANN
HUNTER SA
JILT WAS
British Amateur Golf Champ Couldn't Get Goin '
Hoylake Because Opponent Was Off His Ganie
Bobby Jones Had Like Experience
By GRANTLAND RICE
WILLIK HUNTER, British nmnteur
polf plmmnlnn. tvhn will ho nmons
those stnrting nt St. Louis in quest of
the main cup offered by the United
States, brings to light one of the quaint
turn, of competiti6n. 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

GOLFERS TEE OFF
Field of 144 Starters After
Amateur Title at St. Louis
Country Club
WILLIE HUNTER COMPETES
St. Louis, Sept. 17. 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.
