THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1011. AUSTRALIANS TOP GUP AVERAGE Anffpodeans Lead World In Play ing For Davis Tennis Trophy. ALWAYS STRONG IN SINGLES, Americans Show Way to Englishman In International Contests Huoh Do herty Was Greatest of All Lawn Tennis Players. A resume of the history of competi tion for tho Davis cup, the famous lawn tennis trophy now held by Aus tralasia, shows that America has been much the most prolific In playing con tests and lends England In its general average- of wins and la In turn led by Australia. England shows a marked superiority In the doubles game to both tho United States and Australia, duo almost entirely to tho wonderful ability In this stylo of ptey and per fect team work of tho "big and littlo Do's," as. tho Doherty brothers were affectionately nicknamed, white Aus tralia's strong showing In singles and relatively poor work In doubles nro ac counted for In Hko manner, for tho great Brookes and scarcely loss great WlldlDg are not so Invincible as a doubles combination as when In their true clement, singles competition. Our own average In both branches was seriously affected two seasons ago when America's youthful representa tives, Long and McLoughlln, suffered that overwhelming defeat at the hands of tho Australasian stars, winning but ono set in Ave matches. Havo Won 96fe Sets. Again, lumping preliminary and final matches together for tho 'purpose of analysis, a closer study shows that America has won n total of 5KV sets and lost In singles, the uuusunl half a set resulting from nn unfinish ed tied match in tho first contest with England, and has won 27 and lost 23 in doubles, leaving a balance in onr favor of 10 sets. In her six tics Australasia has cap tured 49 and lost SO sets in singles and won 12 out of 25 in doubles, her bal aneo being only nine, but having In singles an average far better than our own. England has 0C sets to her credit in singles and has lost 01V6, while her record in doubles is 21 wins to 10 loss es, or a total of 77 each defeats and victories. In games tho total score roads: America (singles), won 628, lost 853; (doubles), won 222, lost 101. England (singles), won 518, lost 554; (doubles), won 222,. lost -191. Australasia (singles), won 518, lost 448; (doubles), won 150, lost 1G4. Hugh Doherty a Wonder. Turning now to the more persenal and thereforo Interesting statistics of individual records, It appears at a glance that that of Ilugh L. Doherty. "tho littlo Do," stands In a cIbrs by itself. Ho not only won the English singles title five times (1002-00) and paired with hla brother, the doubles championship eight times (1897 to 1901, 1003, 1004 and 1000), captured countless less important titles on tho other sldo and in Europe, but won tho American championship in singles in 1003 and in doubles in that and tho followlug year. Ills remarkable ability was used quite as effectively in tho service of his country, for ho engaged in eight international "contests and was never defeated, although Lamed almost turned the trick onco and twice forced him to five set matches, as did Ward and Little. Of tho other English players & H. Smith and P. L. IUsIey also kept their slates unsmlrched, winning four and two international matches respective ly, with no defeats, but tho hitter's victories were against the weak Bel glum team. C0ACHERS IMPORTANT COGS. Manager Hugh Jennings Says They Play Important Part During Game. "Coachers are Important cogs In baseball," recites Manager Ilughlc Jennings. "Particularly is this true of the coach stationed at third base. At some stago of almost every gnmo this man must decide Instantly whether a scor ing chance is presented. To do Oils ho must know Ills men and their oppo nents. IIo must preporo in advance for au emergency. When tho time comes ho must act without hesitation. "Tho third base coach must keep constant watch on tho lnfioldcrs, with a runner on second. Tho runner watches the ball. Tho coach must warn him when an opponent slips be hind him. "Every baseball crowd likes clean, legltimnto coaching coaching free from senseless yelling blackguard pitchers and tho like." Unique Golfing Record. Major J. L. Morrow, head ot tho nav igation division of tho navy depart ment at Portland, Ore, and Jordan Zan, a Portland golfer, recently set what la said to bo a new American record for long distance golfing with a total of 110 holes, walking forty-one miles. Tho mark was made, on the Waverly links. Ttie best previous, rec ords wero 00 and 101, both made, on the Columbia golf links at Washington. Gotch'Hack Now Center of the World iooo By TOMMY CLARK. WILL Frank Qotch, tho world's champion wrestler, success fully defend his title against George Hnckenschmldt, the "Russian Lion," when the men meet In American league park, Chicago, Sept 4? This question is being asked by every mat fan. The coming match will be the great est snorting event since tho Jeffries Johnson fight in Bono last year. Tho promoters claim that their outlay on the expenses of tho bout will bo $40, 000 before tho gates aro opened. But they expect to draw the biggest mon ey ever taken In at any sporting event. While Gotch Is tho favorite In the betting and is picked to win by a ma- PUANK QOTCn. jority of the experts, Hack may fur nish tho champion, as well as his fol lowers, nn unpleasant surprise. The big foreigner has boon working faith fully for this contest and is in the very best of condition. This -will bo tho second meeting of the pair, tho men having met in Chi cago April 8, 100S, and after a grueling contest lasting nearly two hours Hack quit. Shortly after tho battle the Bus slnn claimed that ho underrated Gotch nnd had not trained faithfully for the bout. He considered himself absolute ly invincible, so ho came along with out taking the trouble to trnln. Gotch wns trained to tho inluuto and went into tho ring with tho sole Intention of wearing Hack down. lie was wise to tho fact that the Russian was not lit for a long bout Hack also claimed that Qotch used foul tactics in tho encounter, no stat ed that tho American jabbed his lingers into his eyes until ho was almost blind. It also has been claimed that Gotch had his trainers rub cocoanut oil into his skin for wooks beforo tho mill. Then as soon as ho perspired tho oil camo out of his pores and mado him ns slippery as an cel. But tho truth of tho matter is that sheer exhaustion was what defeated tho "Russian Lion." This time ho will bo in tho finest of shape. Ho nays that his long period of training in England, following the hard threo months of wrestling in this coun try last winter, has brought him into his old condition. If ho loses again ho will have, no excuses to make. Doping oat tho winner of tho bout Is a hard task, for the men aro un questionably tho two greatest wres tlers that ever appeared on tho mat, Wallace Now Weak. Hitter. Tho veteran Bobby Wallace of tho St Zxrals Americans appears to bo no longer tho terror at bat as in former days, but bis fielding is as brilliant as over. Jackson, Boston's New Outfielder. Tho Boston Nationals' new outfielder, G oorgc Jackson, unlike his famous cousin Joo of the Napa, Is a right hand batter. I Wrestling Boat Attraction In of Sport oxJ$x5$$K3x3 although their styles aro directly op posite. Gotch Is tho cleverest and quickest of nil catch-as-catch-can wres tlers, and there is none better versed In the tricks of the game. In fact trickery has been ono of tho cham pion's greatest assets. Ills tricks con fused the Russian when they met be fore nnd may fool him again. When It comes to the science of wrestling It Is admitted that Gotch is In a class by himself. He has not entirely rolled on tho teachings of others, no has thought out sonic of tho most dangerous holds himself nnd is always on the Job figuring out more. Gotch has won from all his oppo nents with Ills extreme speed of thought and action. He is a master of feint ns well as attack, and never a man has got into tho ring with him but who thought not on what movo he himself would next make, but on what would be Gotch's next effort The champion's mentality puts nil op- J position on ucicnsc regardless of the physical endowments of his foe. Gotch Is much heavier, bigger and stronger than when ho defeated Hnck cnschinldt for tho championship, and ho is a far more experienced wrestler. It is the boast of nackcnschmldt that ho learned- much from that mem orable first meeting with Gotch. He also claims ho has increased his knowl edge In American wrestling since and has Improved accordingly, ne may have, but ko did not show It In nny of his bouts In this country last winter. Tho "Lion" concedes no ono superior ity in strength and believes that ho Is now ready for the chance that will bring Iilm the world's championship. Hack's greatest forte is his strength. Ho Is but half educated In tho cntch-ns-cntch-can game. Have you ever no ticed that when Hack has met clover wrestlers he has had to use Greco-Roman holds to pin their shoulders to tho mat? Hack has had Dr. Roller, one of America's cleverest mat artiste, with him for months teaching him tho line points of tho art. And tho doctor says Gotch Is in for the greatest sur prise in his career when he meets Hack on Labor day. As to whether tho bout will bo. long or short depends on the tactics tho men adopt when they enter the ring. The idea that Gotch will have a walkover doesn't seem to be borne eut by the various phases of tho sit uation. Sometimes a match that Is 1911, by American Press Association. GEODGB IIACEENSCnillDT. doped out to cover a long period ter minates quickly. Tho paco taken by tho men whon they step on tho mat largely determines thiB situation. Tho moro fact that Gotch and nacken schmldt wrestled for nearly two hours during their first nnd only meeting cannot bo taken as an indication of how long the next match would con tinue. Gotch expects to meet nack weigh ing about 203 or 209 pounds. Hack has announced that ho will go Insldo the ropes weighing around 220 pounds. No matter who wins tho battle, It should result In tho greatest ever staged in America or any other coun try. Olymplo Swimming Events.
