?N TENNIS -LEAGUE BASEBALL - WALL STREET FINAL rrsour HIS HIGH LIGHTS Is How His Prophecy of Washburn's Defent Was Fulfilled. NILES ALSO IS ST UK NED Champion Says Pearson Won Because He Kept Boston ian on the (?o. ? > WILLIAM T. TILDKN ?D, Special Despatch to Thb New Yosk Hr.iui.c Philadelphia, Sept. 10.?One star tling upset, one brilliant recovery that might have been considered an over turn and a series of hard fought, sen sational matches featured the second day's play in the national lawn tennis singles championship tourney at Oer mantown to-day. Stanley W. Pearson of Philadel phia. for many years national squash racquets champion, won new laurels by eliminating N. W. Niles of Boston in a hot five set match. Pearson re lied on steadiness and running his op ponent. Niles wa-- equal to the strain ?for two sets, which he won handily. The pace told on the Bostonian and /Pearsons ability to return the ball ifrom seemingly impossible positions foroke the former's game and the local star brought home the match by win ning the last three sets decisively. It seemed dangerous to have a com manding lead to-day, as two other ulti mate losers were out in front by handy margins. Willis E. Davis of San Fran cisco was outclassed by Ciarence V. Todd of the Australian Davis cup team for the first two sets of their match, which he eventually won by virtue of his own improved play, coupled with an unfortunate injury to the visitor. Davis was ragged through the entire match, and would have gone down to defeat if the Australian had been able to hold the form of his first two sets. "Washburn Is Beaten. The third winner to emerge from a deep hole was "Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia, who came from behind at two sets to one to victory over Watson Washburn, the American Davie cup star. Johnson vindicated my prophecy of yes terday and seems destined for his an nual place in the semi-final bracket. The Philadelphlan concentrated his attack on Washburn's forehand throughout the en tire match. He started in magnificent form, while the New Yorker was er ratic and uncertain in the early stages. The first set was Johnson's, at 6?3. The second set produced the best tennis of the match, for both men were play ing at the top of their games. With th? score four all on Washburn's service Johnson missed a chance to consolidate his gains when he dropped a love?30 lead, and Waahburn ultimately won the set and tied the match. Johnson lost control in the third set. while Washburn continued at tlje top of his form. The New York star rushed through five consecutive games before the Philadelphlan could score. Johnson rallied, but Washburn took the set at <?2. After the rest service held sway for five games in the fourth set. With the score 2?3 on Johnson's delivery Washburn had two chances to "break" at 15?40, but did not take advantage of either. This visibly arected his play and, in my opinion, was the psychologi cal turn In the mutch. Washbnrn'a Defence Collapses. Johnson gained confidence and 1 with added sting. Washburn missed se eral easy chances at the net and his <i fence collapsed. Johnson ran a sequcn of nine games, giving him a lead 5?love in the final set. Washbu braced and fought fiercely, winning thr games before Johnson stopped him. Zenzo Shlmidzu was forced to t limit in two of his three sets with Ma shall Allen, the Seattle star. Althoui Allen scored only three games In t first two sets, the play was close a: ?he young American held his Orient rival in many long, hard fought rnllt with which the match abounded. T third set found Allen at his best, fact, he reached set point nt 7?6, b could not produce the necessary punc He proved himself as promising a youi player as there Is in America to-day. The remaining stars, "I.lttle Bil Johnson. "Dick" Williams, tho Austr Mens, Hawkes and Anderson ; F. Oordi liO*? of England. Vincent Richarc whose victim to-day was Walter Hay of Chicago: Howard KInsey and I a vanced comfortably to the third roun Williams scored a straight set win ov young "Bill" Tnprmham of Provldcnr ending his victory with four consecutl' service aces. Monday is the first of the big days the tournament. Johnson meets Rl ards, and while I believe "Little B will win. I expect to see him fully tended and the match possibly can to five sets. Shmldzu and I will u up our little argument where dropped it In the Davis Cup chnlloi round, with every Indication of a clos contested, long drawn out struggle, i The Australians.

Champion Opposed to "Blind Draw" in Tennis Tilden Points Out the Shortcomings of System That Makes Possible the Elimination of Top Rank ing Players in Early Round. I ; II) WILLIAM T A blind draw in Mmnis is all very j well, but it is not always certain to bring the best players into the finals in an Important national champion ship event. There is always the chance of a top heavy result with all j or most of the ranking players in one half or the other. Such an outcome paves the way for start'tng upsets in i that the men most likely to come | through either kill each other off or are burned up in the bitter struggles ; forced upon them on their way to the finals. A better arrangement is to balance the talent. For example, it could well be planned so that the No. 1 player of ! the previous season would be in the upper half and No. 2 in the lower, i And the same policy should hold for at | least the ten strongest entries. In i short, each season would be a sort of qualifying round for the next. In that j way the balance in play would be j maintained and we would be fairly I sure of having the two l>est players [ of the tournament meeting in the ! finals with something like an even j amount of play to their credit. A fair deal is this, far better than leaving It all to luck. But the present plan makes ll impossl- f ble to avoid serious conflicts. What better \ proof than the result of a like draw at the British Women's Open Golf Cham pionship at Turnberry, Scotland, when our own champion, Miss Alexa W. Stir ling. was thus thrown Into the lists against Miss Cecil Lettch, the Brltlan champion, in the flrst round. A similar situation brought Mrs. Molla Mallory against Mile. Suzanne Lenglcn In our recent women's tennis championship. Matches of this kind, heralded for an entire season, bringing together the two greatest stars of two nations, are cli matic and should come at that period of a tournament. They are not curtain raisers. A Poor System. What is to prevent Billy Johnston and myself meeting In the flrst round and the winner facing the victor in the (Copyright. 1921.

TILDKN 2d. next bracket, where R. Norrl* Williams would be pitted against Vincent if luck is alwaya to determine the arrange ments? The point is that no haphazard scheme making such draws possible should be the rtile. I hope such a plan will go the way of the almost obsolete challenge round. Setting aside my own chances, and I want it known 1 am In One shape for this pvent. It looks to me as though the old standby*, although they are young In years, ore the men to be reckoned with. Billy Johnston, always at his best when the stakes arc greatest. Is going to be the promin* nt competitor as always. Should Dick Williams strik" his gait, should he have a run of Williams days, no plaver living can hold him. Unfor tunately he tries to end points with each stroke rather than to await the opening. Now and then Dick has a day when nothing fails him. Should such times come in his critical matches he cannot he stopped. Vincent Richards Is a youngster to watch. He had a remarkable record by early August, but then he became badly ovcr-tennlsed. Then, at Hongwood, he was himself again, and he should go far In this event. All Richards needs is a bit more seasoning. Foreign Player* Not Dangerous. I look for an American victory. Not only that, but I do not think any of the fine sportsmen who will enter from the various Davis Cup teams visiting our shores will rpach the finals. We have fairly well demonstrated our ability to take care of them, and they are not likely to strike a faster pace than they have so far exhibited. The showing of any particular player will depend upon his mental and physical condition. I do not think any of our leading entries are stale, and I am quite sure all of them are in tiptop shape. Consequently, the survivors will be thoso with the will to win, with the resource fulness thot enables them to attack each opponent in turn as his game dis closes his weakness, and with that mtts- j t.ery of strokes and strategy at their command which will enable them to carry through their plans, whether they ere formed In advance or aecording to the developments of each particular match. by Sol Mctzger.) KILBANE CONFIDENT OF BEATING FRESH 'Johnny* to Receive $60,000,1 Win, Lose or Draw at Cleve- I land?Frush's Mite $2,500. Cleveland, Sept. 10.?Wlien Johnny Kilbane, world's featherweight cham pion boxer, steps Into the ring at Dunn Field here on the afternoon of Septem ber 17 to face Datyiy Fru h of Balit niore. In a twelve-round bout to a de cision. it will be the first time he has defended his title since he knocked out tleorgc Chaney at Cedar Point. Ohio. S< member 4, 1916. Kilbane is to receive tW.OOO for nis end - win. lose or draw?or possibiy more, as he is working on a 50 per cent, basis. This Is said to be the largest amount ever guaranteed a boxer, be low he heavyweight rank, and very few heavyweights have received that much for a championship match. Frush is to receive $2.500?his training expenses. Kilbane was 32 years old last April. Despite this supposed handicap, he confident he will retain his title. Frusn i- 22, or about s year younger than Kilbane was when he wrested the championship from Abe Attell on Feb ruary 22, 1912. at Vernon. Cal. Although Kllbane's title has not oecn at stake for five years, he has fought any number of no-declslon bouts. Frush is regarded here as his fore most opponent. He has defeated some ot the best in the featherweight di-, v.slon, and has a far better knockout record than Kilbane. In his 'list ore several who went the limit with the champion. One of tlv>*e is Artie Ftojt o' Cleveland, who'came dangerously near winning the featherweight cham pionship In a bout here h year ago when he landed a punch on kilbane's chin, only the ropes saving Johnny. Frush has knocked out Root twice, wnile the latter stuck ten rounds with the title holder. Kilbane has the advantage av>r Frush In reach, his being about throe inches longer than the challenger s. He has al?o about four Inches the better of him in chest measurements. Frusn is about an inch taller, and Is quite a little sto<?kle about* the legs. The measurements of the fighters follow: Kilbane.

Midget Smith Draws in Bout With Joe Burma East Chicago, Ind., Sept. in.?Midget Smith, New York bantamweight, and Joe Ilurman of Chicago fought a ten round draw last night In the opinion of a majority of newspaper experts at the ringside.

York bantam wclgiji, defeated Roy Moore of Minne apolis in ten rounds, according to news paper men. W. M. WASHBURN IS DEFEATED AT NETS Continued from First Page. Arnold W. Jones of Providence on an adjoining court. It was a straight set victory. 8??, 6?1. 8?6. but Jones, like A'lpn, was very close to taking the last division of plnv. Anderson. In addition to liis speed of service atld forceful net attack, had far better control than usual. He was more content to force his openings before taking desperate chances, and he led from start to finish. Anderson's superior aggressiveness kept Jones on the defensive the greater part of the time, and the Providence youth had to depend more on his opponent's errors and his own steadiness than on earned points. Vincent Richards repeated the victory he scored over Walter T. Hayes of Chicago earlier in the season in the Western championship. This time the youthful star triumphed In straight sets, but had to go at top speed to hold a small advantage In euch ?et. The score was 6?3. 6?4. 6?4. Hayes. In an effort to hold his own. advanced to the net more often than is his custom, but Richards was too skilful and too versa tile for him. , Willis Davis had to stage a great up hill fight to beat Clarence* V. Todd of Australia. He was outsteadled and out generalled by the Antipodean in the first two sets, which he dropped at 6?4, 6?3. Todd repeatedly was catching him out of position and Davfa was contributing to Ills opponent's advance by liis erratic stroking. Fortunately for t?r*? Callfor nlnn, he managed to steady in time to prevent a straight set defeat. By call ing on his cserve strength in the third set Davis cut down the Australian's lead. He realized that his hope of vic tory lay in forcing the attack at the net nnd in playing at top speed, and lie followed that plan to the end. As the Pacific const star gained in effectiveness Todd tired as a result of the fast pace nnd Davis brought the score to two sets all. In the deciding set the Australian, by dropping his first service, gave Ills rival a lead of 2?love, but he won Use next three games. It was Davis's turn to rally. This time the Callforman sus tained It for four straight games and won the match at 4?6, 3?6, 0?!, 6?3, 6?3. Four Foreigners Survive. Besides Shimidzu, James O. Anderson and John B. Hawkes of Australia nnd F. Gordon Lowe of England are the for eigners who survive in the tournament. California has Bill Johnston, Phil Neer. Willis Davis and Robert and Howard Klnsey still in the running. Johnston has a slight attack of tonsllitls, but ex pects to be at his best against Vincent Richards on Monday. Tlldcn faces Shi midzu at the same time in a match that shoujjj. go a long way toward determin ing the champion's chances of defending his title successfully. The Summary.

The New York National League club yesterday notified President Heydler that It would like immediate action by the league directors on Its protest of the president's decision regarding the Plttcburgh-Cincinnatl game of May 28. This game was won by the Reds and J the Pirates protested, declaring that a ball had been thrown out unlawfully from the dugout and influenced the re sult. On Investigation President Heyd ler sustained the protest and part of the game was replayed, with a Pitts burgh victory the result. A month ago the Giants appealed from this verdict. The league constitution makes the | president's verdict in these cases final. Mr. Heydler said last evening that If the New York club wanted the matter taken up by the league?which would be the body to appeal to, not the board of directors?It would have to ask the | league Itself, that he certainly would not do so. He said furthermore that I lie had good and sufficient reasons for | the decision he did make, which would be duly presented in case the league ' Is asked to consider his upholding of j the Pittsburgh protest.

HERE'S WHERE FANS CAN REPAY llffl Greatest of All Pitchers and How He Helped the Na tional Game. By WILLIAM B. H AWN A. The time has come when New Yorkers can prove their appreciation what ono man did for them. That man Is Christy Mathewson, best pitcher of his day. Some folks well versed in baseball and whose opinions are worth something, re gard him as the best pitcher of any day. There always will be differences of opin ion on that subject. The writer regards Matty as the most expert of all pitch ers, and he graced a day when the pitching standard whs higher than now. There may be pitchers of the present as efficient ns the best of twelve years ago. but there aren't as many of them. Mathewson Bender, Plank, Young, Brown, Ruelbach, McGlnnlty, Johnson, Leaver. Walsh, Phllllppc, Rucker, Over all, Wood, Joas, Donovan, Mullen, Powell?there Isn't that much class this year of 1921. And at the top of the heap was Matty. One of the smartest pitchers of the present day and one who would have held his own In that distinguished com pany?of whom only Walter Johnson Is still at it?Is Carl Mays. Mays has what Matty had to a marked degree, the knack of saving himself In games. It wasn't very difficult to hit Matty when two were out or when the Giants were well ahead. He won many games in which many hits were made off him. You will notice frequently in Maya's vic tories that ten to a dozen hits are made off his pitching. Nobody ever equalled Mathewson for ability to tighten up when he had to. He had the resources, and they never got far away from him?speed, the best control a pitcher ever had, and his famous fadeaway, his strikeout ball In a pinch. The fadeaway was a ball of moderate pace pitched with a fast ball motion, which came up high and broka In?not a curve, but with a break like , a tipltter. There was another point at which Matty excelled and that was as a relief pitcher. He could take another man'a! game, as long as It was still on the safe ! side, and do more with It than any other pitcher except Ed Walsh. There was1 a good deal of the iron man about Matty. Baseball is peculiarly indebted to this one time peerless pitcher, who reached ! his greatest form under the guidance of John McGraw. Things were at a low ebb in the National League along In the early 90s, when McGBraw came to New York to manage the Giants, but In Christy Mathewson he had a budding pitcher, who, he knew, was an asset. A year or two later Matty was burning ! up the league, was Its sensation, and largely through the help of his great , pitching New York began to be a pen nant contender. Interest In New York grew amazingly, ' with leaps and bounds, and as interest : In New York grew Interest throughout the rest of the circuit grew. The golden era In baseball, In which the present generation Is participating, began about the time Mathewson and Mordecal Brown wgra fighting their memorable duels. Small wooden grand stands have given way to big concrete ones, and up In the heart of the Adlrondacka. fighting a good light with tuberculosis. Is Christy Mathewson, than whom no man in anv capacity whatsoever has done more to bring on this golden era. There's to be a testimonial to Mathew son In this town In September, the 30th, to be exRCt. It's not a charity affair; it Is to show appreciation, gratitude, af fection. The bigger It Is the further it will go expressing those sentiments Every fan, every hall player, every magnate can help a little?or big, as the case may be. It'a up to every fan, player, magnate to do what he can to show his gratitude and to hying cheer to the sick man. Now get together, everybody!

YANKS BIG STICKS BEAT ATHLETICS 19-31 Continued from First Page. into short left field, scored Plpp from third. Hasty disposed of Miller and Peck In the eighth, but slipped a vog or pulled a tendon or something when the Babe came to bat and was retired at his own request after he had pitched three suc cessive bad ones to the Master Mauler. Keefe took his place on the hill and passed not only Ruth, but Meusel as well. Pipp then filed to Clarence Walker, whose muff of an easy chance scored Ruth, and Ward drove in an other run by pulling a single to left. Schang opened tlte ninth with a single over second and stole second base on the next ball pitched, scoring on May's single to left. Singles by Miller and Peck filled the bases and Ruth swept them clean again with a triple down the right field lino. Meusel was hit by a pitched ball and his caustic comments to Kcefe as he strolled down to first so befud dled Keefe that the latter muffed Per kins's return, Ruth scoring on the error. Keefe was then retired In favor of Free man and six of the eight batters who laced the latter found him for hits, six more runs resulting. Schang. Mays, Miller. Peck and Ruth each made two hits In as many times at bat in this ex tremely fruit^pl round, which did not come to a close until Peeklnpaugh pur posely allowed Ruth's batted ball to hit him in the leg for the third out.

LOSING PITCHER FANS 11 Evans Is Undone by Poor Start ?Winners Are Outhit, Ten to Six. i By DANIEL. In a rising run market over at Ebbets Field yesterday the nine representing Post 9t Fiagg was caught short and had to assign one perfectly good ball game to the team from the house of Oe Coppet & Doremus. It was not one of your ordinary contests which the De Coppet-DoramuB combination took over by a score of 7 to 3. The game was the first of a series for the cham pionship of Wall Street?the little world's series of the Street they call it down that way, and it's being fought out on a best two out of three basis. Post & Flagg got itself into a tijht situation right from the ringing of the gong which opened the trading. Harry Evans, who did the slinging for that outfit, got away without control, speed or ability to baffle to any appreciable extent. This malign combination and errors resulted in the scoring of four runs by De Coppet-Doremus?a splen did start, and a start which gave to the winners their margin of victory. Evans found himself after that shaky opening and pitched creditable ball, but his support was not potent enough to discount the handicap. Evans struck out eleven men and be gave only six hits, but six errors by Post and Flagg eventually made that team an unlisted, Inactive and unwanted stock issue. There will have to be a general perking up If the Post-Flagg bunch arc to nip the opposition in the next outing oi? September 24. Koraytbe Not So Effective. For the De Coppet-Doremus club Bob Forsyth did the hurling, and he was almost as lucky as a bird who sold out a stock Just before It fell thirty points right Into the cellar. Forsyth was found for ten hits, he hit four men with pitched balls. makingvHughes his victim thrice?he got himself Into divers tight places?but seemed to have what Ir1 termed a noodle. And his support wa, more effective, more alert, more aggres sive than that given to Evans. When it came to cracking the old pill right on the nose the major honors wont to a batsman from the losing side? Maylander, catcher for Post and Flagg. In four times at bat the backstop got a double and two singles. His two bagger, which carromed off the famous right field wall, was. by far the longest hit and proved the only extra bo.se sock of the day. Pell of the beaten team got himself a couple of hits, as did Back lund and Lupfer of the winners. Lupfer also got a cpuple of passes and had a perfect batting average. On defence the stellar deeds were psf* formed by .Suglla snd Evans of the losers. Suglla made a great catch of O'Connor's short fly near the left field foul line In the ninth and Evans did an Art Nehf on a liner from the bat of Miller In the fifth. . Evans Starts Weakly. Evans opened the game with a pass to Backlund. Thompson, captain of the De Coppet club, grounded to Evana, who attempted to get Backlund at sec ond and hurled the ball into centre field. A passed ball was followed by a wild pitch, groans from the Post-Flagg sup porters and a run for De Coppett. O'Connor walked and stole second, and then Miller banged an easy one at Suglla. The shortstop thought that he had a play at the plate, but Thompson was as safe as a Liberty bond, which meant more groans. O'Connor and Mil lar worked a double steal, put u thltd run In the De Coppet column, and threw the opposition Into a sort of Black Fri day confusion. Everything possible was happening to the Post-Flagg bunch. An error by Evans put Miller on third, pnd then came Lupfer with a single to left?the first hit?and it scored Miller. That brought the increment for the in ning up to four runs, made De -Cop pet and Doremus look like leaguers, and made the Post-Flagg team look like six subway fates. But Post and Flagg bad a kick of its own. This became evident In the second when it banged in a run?not much, but a start. Selfred walked, mole second and scored when Peel singled and Miller made a wild return. Both Score In Foorth. In the third Aschoff's fumble of Thompson's pop. followed by a couple of wild pitches and a hit by L"P'er the De Coppets a run. In the fourth both sides scored. The ^ Copp*t" got theirs when Forsyth walked, reached third when Peel booted Backlund s sin gle and scored after Maylander had caught Thompson's foul. The Post and Flagg team made four hltn to get their tally. Swift, Pell. Menard I and Maylander got singles and Swift carried the run over. last run for the losers came in the fifth, when Hughes was hit by a pitched ball, ad vanced on a passed ball and scored on a hit by Asohoff. De Coppet and Doremus got Its seventh run In the sixth on a pass to Carey and Backlund'a single In the seventh Evans was at his beat. Hits by O'Connor and Miller and a pass to Lupfer filled the bases, with only one out. But Evans kept the enemy from the plate. The acore: DE COPPBT-DORB- I MUH.
