THRILL CROWDS
Lieut. R. Norris Williams, 2d,
Wins Over Throckmorton;
Hard Battles
Forest Hills, N. Y.. Aug. J3.—Play
ing true to form throughout the
fourth round of the national patriotic
■ ingles tournament here yesterday,
eastern and western experts in euuai
number won places In the seminnal
round, to be contested on the courts
of the West Side Club to-day. Al
though there was an absence of the
upset* which marked tue opening
round of the play for the tennis asso
ciation ambulance fund, there was at
least one surprise which startled the
close followers of lawn tennis.
Craig Diddle, of Philadelphia, forced
R. Linuley Alurray, of Niagara Falls,
N. Y„ to draw on every ounce of his
endurance and skill in order to win
after a gruelling tlve-set match. Mur
ray has been lavored by many close
followers of the game to win the pres
ent tournament and it was thought'
that he would have little difficulty in
disposing of his veteran opponent or
to-aay alter his thrilling victory over
W. T. Tllden Jr., anotner Philadel
pbian, in the preceding round.
lllddle Is Supreme
Blddle surprised and aroused the
gallery of several thousand spectators
to continuous rounds of applause by
his determined stand against his
younger rival. Playing briliant yet
steady tennis. In which he snowed his
ability to handle and return in the
form of clever placement shots the
terrific service and volleys of Murray,
he repeatedly drove the California
expert to the limit of his endurance
ar.d skill to win points. It was Mur
ray's staying powers that gave him
the victory rather than marked su
periority in racquetwork.
The contest between R. Norris Wil
liams 11, of Boston, and Harold A.
Throckmorton, of Elizabeth. N. J-. was
another five-set battle of thrills,
which Williams finally won at 6-1, 4-8.
6-4, 0-6, 6-3. The thrills came not so
much as a result of the fact that the
players were evenly matched as they :
were due to the erratic form shown
by last year's titlewlnner.
Williams opened the play with a
wonderful assortment of passing and
cross-court strokes under full com
mand, but appeared to grow careless
and indifferent as the match pro
gressed, taking all kinds of chances'
and developing a streak of wlldness
which culminated In the loss of the
fourth set at love.
Throckmorton, after his winter ses
sion of play in the Orient, was not an
opponent to be trifled with, and the
score stood two sets all at the open
ing of the fifth. Here Williams showed
all his former racquet wizardry, win- I
ning at 6-3, with an exhibtion of serv
ice forehand and backhand drives to
the extreme limits of the court which
left Throckmorton helpless, notwith
standing his desperate efforts at court
covering.

GEO33GE BURNS.
The best sundog in the big leagues!
Here, in a sentence, you have the
opinion of a majority of National
League managers regarding George
Burns, leftflelder of the Giants.
Burns is rated by many as the
greatest sun fielder since the days of
Wee Willie Keeler, who, though he
faced the sun day after day, was sel
dom known to muff a fly ball, and
whose batting eye was not dimmed
by the rays of Old Sol.
This is Burns' sixth year as a mem
ber of the Giants. He came to the
New York club from Utica in the
spring of 1912 and stuck through the
season, although he played in only
twenty-nine games. Since that time
Burns has missed few regularly
scheduled games with the clan of
McGraw, and he goes on from year
to year, hitting and fielding as con
sistently as though the very turning
of the clock depended upon his be
ing in the line-up.
Mack Cans Joe Bush
For Balance of Season
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 28. —"Bullet
Joe" Bush, Connie Mack's best pitch
er and world's series hero, has been
suspended for the remainder of the
1917 playing season, fined the money
he would have earned and sent back
to Philadelphia.
Secretary Joe Ohl, of the Athletics
bought Bush a ticket and escorted
the pitcher to the 6.15 train last
evening, carrying out Mack's orders.
Manager Mack and his pitcher
were the principals of a wordy argu
ment on the Philadelphia bench af
ter Bush had been removed from the
game in tho fifth inning yesterday
because the Indians were hitting hiin
ail over the lot.
"I'm through with baseball for
good—at least I'll never pitch for
such a rotten club as Mack's," Bush
said to friends before he boarded the
train.
Connie Mack made the following
statement last night:
"I suspended Bush for th© season
and am through with him. He has
not treated me right and he knows
it. I am not sore because he was
batted hard by the Cleveland club
to-day, but I am sore because he has
failed to observe training rules. In
other words he has not taken care
of himself all Beason and has de
veloped into what I call a rowdy.
I don't want a rowdy on my ball
club."
Asked is Bush was on the market
and would be sold or traded. Mack
replied:
"Not this season. He will not play
in organized baseball again this year.
I have not decided what I shall do
with him next year."

The professional boxing game passes in New York State on August 27.
It Is reported that some of the promoters will attempt to continue under
the club system but from what Governor Whitman has said these at
tempts will be blocked. Some of the more prominent promoters have an
nounced that they will not try to continue. They will take their boxers
through "the sticks" and give exhibitions until the Interest dies.
When it is driven out of New York professional boxing will have been
ousted from Its last stronghold. There is no place in the United States now
where bouts may be fought to a decision. Jlmtnie Coffroth, who promoted
a number of championship fights, when the game was brisk In California,
is trying to start Interest In a few bouts in Tia Juana across the Mexican
line. His big card will be Jess Wlllard and the winner of the Fulton-
Morris fight.
There was a time when such a bout between a pair of giants might have
drawn thousands from all parts of the world. Sportsmen would have come
from London, Paris and even from Petrograd to see It. But that was
before the war. A Morris-Wlllard fight to a finish at Tia Juana would
hardly lure arty patronage from Europe.
The arrival of the first American casualty list from France will be tfte
quietus on any lingering interest In prizefighting. The Wlllard-Morrls
fight, if it should be staged. wt>uld be the limit of incongruity.
NEW YORK'S TWO CHAMPIONS
The pasing of the fight game will see New TTork In possession of two
championships. Benny Leonard will retain the lightweight championship
and A 1 McCoy, of Brooklyn, will pass into ring history as the middleweight
champion. Leonard won his championship fairly and Is admittedly the
best of the lightweights of to-day, if not the equal of any of those who
have held the Title in the past A 1 McCoy is far from a Ketchel or a Jack
Dempsey but his claim to the middleweight title is technically correct.
' A BOXER AND TILE FIGHTERS
The tip-off on the boxing game was given, by a crowd of small boys on a
cross street at Fifth Avenue the other day. A crowd of youngsters were fol
lowing Benny Leonard and the group looked like Gibson's picture of "The
Champion."
Suddenly there came the blare of a brass band. A detail from the Sev
enth New York Regiment on the way to Join the "Fighting Sixty-ninth"
was pasing up the avenue. "Gee, soldiers!" cried one of the boys. In an In
stant Benny Leonard's admirers had forsaken him and were scampering
toward the avenue to see the men in khaki swing by.
Even John L. Sullivan in these days could not hold his followers if Gen
eral Pershing happened to be passing on the other side of the street. Which
would Indicate the growth of a clearer sense of values.
The prize fighters who are left Jobless by the passing of the game In New
York state will have a tough time collecting sympathy. They can hardly
claim that there Is a dearth of opportunity to fight.
READING TAKES
HILL PENNANT;
STANLEY PLUCKY
For the third straight time the
Reading baseball team shut o'ut the
Stanley aggregation by a 5 to 0 score
last evening, and clinched the post
series, winning the Allison Hill
League pennant. In addition to the
pennant, the Railroaders will also re
ceive a loving cup that will be award
ed to the team members next week.
Monday night Heading: won 2 to 0
In the best contest of the series. The
Tuesday night affair was a 10 to 0
farce, while the victors tallied a quin
tet of runs last evening during the
time that the whitewash was applied.
Pot Up Plucky Fight
w nile the victories were decisive,
credit must be given to the Stanley
players for the plucky fight put up
last evening. Captain "Pete" Shick
ley was the life of the team all rea
son. and last evening he went from
catcher to the pitching position and
held the Readlngltes to seven scat
tered hits.
In the first round the winner* made
a duo of runs on a base on balls to
George Levan. He scored a moment
later on Wertz's three-bagger to cen
ter. The latter crossed the rubber on
Lescvire's neat single.
The third saw the final runs of the*
series scored by Reading. Catcher
Kline made his second hit, stole sec
ond and came home on an error of

RICH STAKE IS
BELMONT OFFER
Feature on Today's Grand
Circuit Program; Yester
day's Results
Philadelphia, Aug. 23.—The $5,000
stake for 2.11 trotters was the reature
event of the fourth day's card of the
Grand Circuit meeting at Belmont
Park to-day. This event was the chief
attraction of the meeting and with
the best bunch of trotters of the year
entered, every promise of a big field
starting one of the best races of the
season was looked for. Dreams, Peter
Chenault. Ima Jay, W. J. Leyburn,
Bonnie Del, Chilcoot, American Girl
and Empress of Russia are some of
the stars to meet In this race.
The other stakes, both of $2,000,
and the two-year-old trot, also for a
purse of $2,000. made up the balance
of the program.
Officials say the meeting has proved
a great success to date and with the
best program of the week scheduled
for to-day, a record-breaking crowd
was expected. The weather and track
conditions were good.
Yesterday's Hfaultj
A third heat In 2.02% wf,s the fea
ture of the Grand Circuit race meet
ing at Belmont Driving Park yester
day. It was made by Miss Harris M.
in 2.01 V 4. a bay mare by Peter the
Great, and was her first winning race
of the year, and. incidentally. It was
the first defeat administered this sea
son to Single G, the racing sensation
of the year. Miss Harris M was
driven by "Lon" McDonald and won
the free-for-all pace In straight heats>
upsetting the "dope" of the wise ones
and establishing a new record for
pacers over the Belmont track. Ben
All clipped the track record on Tues
day. when he, won the Hotel Adelphi
stake.
Single G had'made seven starts thltf
season, six of them on the Grand Cir
cuit, and in every instance but this
he was returned the victory.
HITS AND OI'TS OF TOR GAME
Three straight whitewashes.
Largest crowd of the season.
There may be better fielding first
basemen among the amateurs in Har
risburg than "Putty" Lynch, but they
are scarce. The former Tech, Central
and Academy star has gone through
the entire Allison Hill series without
one error. Jo" may be a little
awkward In smothering the ball, but
none got away from him this season.
Wertz got the applause of the crowd
when he raced in back of second and
made a one-hand shoestring catch of
Captain Shickley's line drive. "Pete"
bawled out the Reading player for
rebbing him of another hit.
Klerner was again In the game, al
though suffering from his lnury re
ceived Monday night. He made the
niftiest atop of the game at short.
George Levan walked six times In
the series, which is quite a record
when it is considered that the Read
ing team was at bat In only twelve
Innings. George Is a good waiter.
"Benney" Kline had hta right thumb'
knocked out of Joint In the last round
and retired In favor of Lescure.
Piatt was late reaching the field
and Wertz pitched the first Inning.
The Reading crowd will have a tro
phy cabinet made for the cup. ancf
hope to land others in the future.
The Reading management Is out
with a chc'lenge to the West End
team for a series of games for the
city championship. Allison Hill fans
are sure that with Wertz In the box
and Kline back of the bat. their team
will win the city series. Kline is back
stopper for both aggregations.
The Winers held the losers to ten
hits and no runs In the three games.
Johnson hit for the Stanley team In
each of his two contests.
' Lescure was the best sticker of the
series with a hit In each of the sec
ond and third games, while In the
first one he batted out two.
Twenty-one hits and only two er
rors tells the story of the victory In
the three short contests.
And now for the city championship.

WELLY'S jf CORNER
Grammar school athletes who have
been prominent In track work will
be a big factor this fall In high school
sports. Many future stars, too young
for war duty, will be out early for
practice. Tech officials are building
great hopes on the newcomers.
Tennis seems to be one of the fa
vorite outdoor sports of musicians,
even the violinists and pianists risk
ing their lilgh-'prlced hands in tlio
strenuous wielding of the racket.
John McCormack is an enthusiast of
no little skill, and possesses snap
shots to prove that he played with
McLoughlin, Brookes and Wlldlrttf.
One of his opponents this summer
hss been Fritz Kreisler, the violin
ist. Pablo Casalo, the Spanish 'cel
lolst, also plays a creditable game,
while l%e names of Francis Rogers,
baritone, and Marshall Kernochan,
composer, stand well up In the rank
ing lists of tho West Side Club, New
York.
Forty years ago a Cincinnati team
finished second In the race for the
pennant. Christy Mathewson, who
is now called the "master manager,"
says he will be more than satisfied
If he can finish that high this year.
The fans of Cincinnati will be doubly
satisfied If their team can finish in
the first division—that will in itself
be a new experience for Cincinnati.
When the Dauphin-Perry League
averages are made public, Newport
will show high averages In all
branches. The work of the Infield
has been on the gilt edge order. Ree

another defeat yesterday, score 6 to
2. Hagerstown won over Frederick,

lersburg has three stara. They bav®
had miscues, but that is due to th®
fact that they go after everything.
Lebanon Is going to fight hard to
win the first pennant In the Bethle
hem Steel Corporation League. In
dications are that a post-season
series will be necessary to decide
pennant honors.
_ Keating and Babbington, former
New York State League stars, are
big factors in Lebanon's position In
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
League. Both are hard hitters. Keat
ing is playing a sensational game
at short.
Reading copped the Allison Hilt
pennant, and the silver trophy. Hon
ors came through superior baseball
playing. Every player on the win
ning team was a factor and deserves
the highest praise. Stanley A. C. re
mained in tho series until the finish.
With the exception of the players
who quit in Tuesday's game, the
Stanley boys showed pluck. They
were outplayed and outgeneraled.
The proposition to have a series
between Reading champions of the
Allison Hill League and West End
A. A. for the city championship Is
a good one. It will mean good sport
for baseball fans. Five games should
be tho plan, with two on the Hill
and two at West End field, the fifth
to be played on a neutral ground In
the event of a tie.
All praise to Company I boys.
They can play baseball. If oppor
tunity Is afforded, they will be heard
from In the Southern series. That
they can clean up any soldier team is
the belief here.
