i AMERICAN SIDE.
IpY nsUBSaUPB TO TIIK TBIBfXE.]
Newport. B. L, Aug. 21.— The finals in the
championship lawn tennis doubles this morn
jag resulted in a signal victory for the English
;eam. K. F. Doherty and H. L. Doherty won
from Holcorr.be Ward and Dwight F. Davis in
three straight sets, the score being 11—9, 12—10,
G-4.
With an American national Mac ribbon in
«eaas*ir. the minds of the entire lawn tennis
folJowln? centred on this contest. It was the
greatest battle or. the courts of this coun
trr alaoe IV.'T,1 V .'T, when Xisbet and Mahoney en
cearorei *■ wrest the title Cram Ware and
cjjelflon. When the contest was over the first
win *or .in English team was recorded in the
unaals cf the sport, and the twin grold cups pre
gented this year for the Brat time by the di
jeciors of the Casino passed into the hands of
the Doht ■ " ■ - to keep until the challenge match
of next year.
So team of Englishmen ever went into such
a ■"■:■" with the dejrree of confidence
fiat the Dohertys displayed. They well knew
ttat the weak spot in the American defence
mi Davis, and they fed the ball to him with
treat frequency. Davis did just what they ex
pected him to do. He smashed the ball into the
net cr out of court, giving the Britishers the
points when they most needed them. As for
"Ward, he played heroically throughout the
three sets of the match. When he began to go
to pieces because of fatigue toward the end,
It W2s all over with the Americans for this year.
The Dohertys went Into the battle with a
prestige which lew teams that have contended
at Newport have had. The scalps of all the
leading American pairs, even of Ward and
Davis, dangled at their belts. This acted on
The American pairs* adherents, and among those
speculative!}' inclined the Dohertys ■were favor
ites at 5 to 4. and were backed down to 2 to 1
l>efore the match was started. The Englishmen
pot the service and R. F. Doberty took the
pen-er's position. The first ball Ward returned
to the net. A good smash by H. L. Doherty and
& poor drive by Davis grave the game to the
Britons. Ward served the second game. He
lobbed prettily arid cross courted finely. The
crowd cheered him to the echo. His service
T.on him an ace and the game. The next went
to the Britons after a great rally and poor
drives by Davis.
la the fourth Ward smashed well and the
.Americans won a love game. The score was
now two aIL Poor drives by Davis in the fifth
gave the game to the Britons at 30. Good
serving: by Ward in the sixth won his team two
i_ces. Then fine smashing by Davis, with great
playing by "Ward, put the game to the Ameri
cans' credit. Poor drives by Davis in the sev
enth game gave it to the Britons at love. The
eighth was close. A poor smash by Davis sent
the points to deuce. The Americans won on
Ward's placing.
Pretty tennis was played in the ninth. "Ward
I laced beautifully, but Davis drove out of court.
The game went to the Britons at 30. H. L.
Jjoherty placed finely in the tenth.
In the eleventh came a long rally, the sun
bothering the Britons. Deuce was called again
and again, but the me went to the Dohertys,
who now had a lead of one game.
It was sensational tennis in the fifteenth, be
cause of the rallies. The seventeenth was ex
citing and dose. Davis drove out frequently.
but aeuce was reached. Good smashing won
the game for the Dohertys. however.
This set was proving to be a record breaker
for length. By good judgment and serving by
"Ward the Americans won the next at love.
The nineteenth was toll of lobbing. H. L..
Doherty served well and he and his partner won
the game at 'M. The twentieth and the set
vent to the Britons at 15.

There was an abundance of partisan spirit
manifested when the second set was started. It
brought out some of the cleverest tennis ever
seen :n a national tournament. The first game
Wi2t to the Dohertys at 15, but they lost the
next at love. The sun broke through the clouds
E this time and the Americans begun to send up
iilgh lobs. The Britons were blinded and daz
zled by the light, but even under these trying
conditions they were steady and always played
the ball safely across the. net. It. F. Doberty
served finely in the third game, and his great
placing took it at 15.
Here Ward appeared to be cureless. Davis
got into the game in better stroke, and by some
ii.tra urivir.s the Americans managed to even
ihe score on games at 2 — alL It was the same
t,ld tennis story of t-ach side taking the service
game. The Englishmen cleverly shifted from
lobbing to driving for passes. They would work
to pzl Ward and Davis widely separated, and
t> en shoot the ball over the net at terrific speed.
The pl*y v «as almost invariably good for the
point and even when the Americans got to
look for the stroke they were seldom equal to

be stopped by the Individual work of Ward,
who r, roved himself to be a man of remarkable
abaity. Itight along he saved the service games
for th* American . ;,«,..
What the Dohertys have learned since coming
to this r-ountry was brought out to its fullest.
R. F Doherty smashed when he had a fair
chance. He was not so strong or so good on
this stroke as are many of the Americans. He
did not put so much force behind his racquet.
Ac b play the smash availed the Dohertys little.
for th<i ball found the net in its llight in the
majority of instances. ""*.
Th<- ending games of the set were filled with

Ward made heroic efforts and was able to hold
th^ score even up to two games all, when the
Dohertys forged ah?ad. They got the leading
position at 5—2. Then followed what will be
long remembered as a great piece of stragetic
tennis on the part of the Americans. They out
lobbed and outgeneraled the iv>hertys com
pletely.
Ward got to the net at every opportunity and
cross courted the ball with telling effect. As
for Davis he attained something near his real
form, and his two place shots that took the
eighth c;:m^ after the points had gone to deuce
were splendidly executed. In this game Ward
and Davis broke through R. F. Doherty's ser-

Futurity candidates at Saratoga all last night and
most of the morning, and. though the sun cam«
out in time to draw a big crowd to th<- races, the
track was ankle deep In sloppy mud. and the
horses that got off first threw slime In the eyes of
the trailers until th. could not see where they
were going. Of course, about half the horses en
tered were scratched as soon as the trainers
rubbed the sleep out of their eyes and took a roM
look at the track. But there were enough left to

MAJOR DELMAR'S 810 RACE
IHE TAKES THE MASSACHUSETTS
STAKES IN THREE STRAIGHT HEATS.
Readville. Mass.. Aug. 21.— The Massachusetts
Stake race for 2:12 class trotters, the biggest
prize of Grand Circuit week at the Readville
track, proved a commonplace affair this after
noon, through Major Delmar's win in three
1 straight heats. Before the race the wiseacres
were picking The Roman to win on form. The
gelding made a miserable showing, seldom hav
ing speed enough to get ahead of the second
platoon. Major rvimar"s victory, after the
money had been won. looked a simple one, con
sidering that he took the 2:13 trot at Detroit
and the 2:1»» trot in Cleveland against fields
that did not make him reach top speed.
The stake record of 2:<»H was safe to-day, but
with close finishes it might have been equalled
if not broken. The absence of keen racing made
the event fall flat to every one who had not
taken The Roman at 8 to 1. Major Delmar
is owned by George Van Dyke, of Boston. The
Wheeling. W. Va.. mare Lady Thisbe took sec
ond money and the Southern mare Dulce Cor
third.
The racing carfl of five events was Interrupted
by showers, but the excellent condition of the
track was not spoiled. The first event, the - -i.
trot, was won by the favorite local horse.
Kwanon. in straight heats. The Massachusetts
Stake came next, with seventeen starters. Be
fore the field lined up for the first heat Starter
Walker cautioned the drivers to get away
quickly, with the exceptional result that tne
word was given the second time the horses came
to the wire. . ,
Ruth M. had the pole, but Major Delmar took
it at the quarter, with Lady Thisbe at his
flank. The Roman broke and the heat was soon
settled with no indication that Major Delmar
would be beaten out. The next two heats were
about the same style, excepting in the tnirti
Dulce Cor beat out Lady Thisbe in the stretch,
for second place. The summaries:

XFAY ELECTRIC BATTERY.
THE KDISON' MACHINE TO HAVE FIRST
PUBLIC TEST IN ENDURANCE
RUN TO BOSTON.
The first public test of the new Edison battery
in a -»'• <"■ illy built car will he made In the ,Tfn>-tnlle
endurance contests to be held by the Automobile-
Club of America in early October. The test will
be from New-York to Boston and return. Mr.
Edison baa been working for a lons time to perfect
a storage battery which could be used in automo
biles. The claim is made that the new battery will
propel a vehicle further than any of the other bat
teries now in use. It la predicted that the Edison,
battery will propel a vehicle eighty miles without
being recharged. Ever since the first appearance
of electric automobiles there has been a decided
demand for a. storage battery with a larger radius.
According to friendd of Mr. Edison a storage bat
tery should be a reversible instrument, receiving:

much 'ration.
