BAUGH MAY FORFEIT TITLES
Many Entries Are Expected for Tourn
ament to Be Held at Hotel
Virginia Courts, Begin,
ning August 2
-* Under the auspices of the Southerr
California Lawn Tennis associatlor
there will be held on the courts of thi
Hotel Virginia, at Long Beach,- begin
ning August 2, what will probably bt
one of the best all around tennis tour
naments ever held In Southern Cali
fornia. The championship titles of
Southern California are Involved and it
Is probable that every one of these wlll
change hands. Simpson Sinsabaugh,
Tom Bundy and probably May Sutton,
the premier tennis players of the Pa
cific coast, will all be absent and will
forfeit their present titles. While the
absence of these players will detract
somewhat from the tournament the
management Is making every effort to
secure a large number of San Francisco
experts to enter the lists and some ex
citing sport should result.
Sutton and Sinsabaugh Absent
Tom Bundy, who holds the Southern
California championship In men's sin
gles, will be east during the tourna
ment, and there is much speculation as
to who wlll annex the' silver cup which
will go to the successful contestant ln
this year's game. Although A. E. Bell
Is considered as being the most likely
contestant there are many who should
crowd him hard for the coveted honor,
among them being Allen Duncan, Nat
Brown and R. H. F. Varlel.
Miss May Sutton, who has for the
past few years been successful in win
ning the women's single championship,
wlll probably be unable to. take part
ln the week's tournament. There are
a number of likely contestants for the
honor which she will forfeit, among
them being her sister, Miss Florence
Button, and Mrs. B. O. Bruce, two of
the brightest stars ln the firmament of
raquet wielders and who are consid
ered as being the equals of Mlss Hazel
Hotchkiss.
Rogers Brothers Favorites
The combination of Sinsabaugh and
Brown, which proved so Invulnerable
last year, will be broken by the ab
sence of Sinsabaugh, and although
Harry and Charlie Rogers, who so far
this year have successfully held the
lists against all contestants, will prob
ably enter the meet as favorites, lt Is
rumored that there are several combi
nations both In Los Angeles and San
Francisco which lt will be hard to beat.
The absence of Sinsabaugh will also
break up the combination in mixed
doubles of Slnsabuagh and May Sutton,
who defeated all comers ln their class
last year.
Announcements for the tournament
are now ln the hands of the printer an.i
entries will begin to come In about tha
last of the week. All entries will be
received by Nat Brown, manager. Be
eides the championship cups. other
prizes will be hung up by the execu
tive committee of the Southern Cali
fornia Lawn Tennis association.
Way Confident of Success
A. C. Way, president of the associa
tion and a member of the executive
committee, said yesterday in speaking
of the coming tournament that he be
lieved, owing to the numerous en
tries which he felt confident would be
received and the great Interest dis
played in tennis matches during the
past two years, that the coming racquet
carnival at the Virginia would bo
among the most brilliant from every
standpoint ever held in Southern Cali
fornia. Among those who have signi
fied their Intentions of entering the
tournament are: A. E. Bell, Nat Brown,
Allen Duncan, Harold Braly, Lewis R.

HEAVY SLUGGING
WINS FOR HOGAN
* -
VERNON STICKERS DEFEAT
GRAHAN'S MEN
HOME RUNS BY COY AND HOUSE
, m ARE FEATURES
Spectacular Game Is Played at Chutes 1
Park and Suburbanites Take Sweet
Revenge by Pounding Two of
the Northern Pitchers
Vernon, 10; Sacramento, 4.
Captain General Happy Hogan of the
Suburbanites strengthened his firing
line, brought up his reserves and threw
them into the fray yesterday and
routed the Sacramento team In disas
trous fashion, though the Capital city
team put up ii gallant defense and
stubbornly resisted every foot of the
way. It was a spectacular contest ani
■hows that Vernonltes, when backed up
by good twirling and with their In
fleldcrs and hitters playing the gam;,
can show that form necessary to seri
ous consideration in the Coast league
ranks.
Two homers, one by Coy, the pitcher
outfielder whose pinch hitting has been
a feature of the play of the Hoganltes
In the lust month, and another by
House, the Indian left fielder of the
Senators, were the bright particular
spots of glory In the afternoon. Fast
fielding and numerous long hits were
the features, and it was on their bat
ting performances thai the Vernon
men won a clean-cut and well deserved
victory. Twice the game was tied, the
first four Innings finding the score
zigzagging between the two teams.
At last the emblem of victory was
flown by the locals in the fourth, and
it stayed there throughout the re
mainder of the day, the cellar cham
pions piling up a large sized and com
fortable score before they let up. Char
lie Graham used two pitchers before he
finally gave up. Spider Baum, the
half-game expert who has pitched in
so many parts of games, either reliev
ing other men or finding himself
benched so often that he has lost
count, stayed against the Vernon stick
ers for three and a half innings, and
then, in the face of a blistering battery I
fire of heavy guns which had forced
three runs over, he was withdrawn and
big Buck Ehman, that steady, grind
ing, work-away pitcher, went In and
endeavored to recover the game.
Northerners' Off Day
But the northern hitters could not
connect with Brackenrldge's choice
puzzlers thereafter, and the tale grew
and grew until the Vernonltes had the
IZZleri thereafter, and the tale grew
d grew until the Vernonltes had the
verslders hopelessly trailing behind,
snowed under beneath an avalanche of
hits such as would discourage most
any box aspirant.
It was hard slugging of the game
winning, type that gave the locals their
big lead. When the ball Is shooting
out Into deep outfield near the far
fence with runners on bases there is I
bound to be some tapping on the score
bell. This, ln a nutshell, tells the his
tory of the defeat of the Grahamites.
Second Baseman Haley retired from
the line-up Just before the game began,
due to sudden illness, and his place
was taken by Bernard, who was
brought in from center fleld. Stovail :
was shifted from right center and Coy
was given charge of the right garden
precincts, which he handled well, mak
ing one beautiful jumping catch that
saved a double and a couple of scores.
Gandil Scores in First
Gandil, the Senators' big shortstop,
was the first man to score. In the
first Inning he banged out a single to
the lnfleld, went to second on Mott'3
high throw to first, to third on Flan
nagan's single .-mil squeezed his tall
bulk over the plate when Happy failed
to connect with Stovall's heave to the
plate.
In their half of the first the Vernon
ltes got nothing, but in the second two
more runs made by the northerners
were almost evened up, when the lo
cals got over a couple. in the third
House advanced his teammates one
notch with his hard hit bounding
homer over the hat sign fence.
Then came the fourth, in which the
decisive scoring came, and which,
therefore, will bear repetition. Eagan
popped up a high fly back of shortstop
which Johnny House ran In to gather
He waited while the crowd held a long
breath, for Truck had banged the
sphere terrifically and it had tipped
the top of the bat, shooting far into
the air. It was a high but short hit
and came down with fearful force
plowing its way through the Indian's
hands, sending Truck to first safely
Martin landed on Baum for a double,
scoring Eagan from first base, and
then Coy connected with a straight on.,
for a far homer over the left field bar
rier, scoring Martlnke ahead of him.
These three runs won the game, though
others followed in the sixth, seventh
and eighth. The result in detail:

TIMELY TOPICS
EINGSIDERS last Tuesday night a*
. Naud Junction were evidently
I given a, wrong Impression of tin
action of one of the fighters. In justice
to an awkward but thoroughly honest*
Intentloned scrapper, who never will bi
more than a preliminary man but win
has taken many a heating In his day
the following Is given publication:
Abdo the Turk, trainer of athletes and
sometimes a ringster, was hissed and
hooted' roundly and a decision awarded
to Hilly Morris at the end of the fifth
round In their scheduled ten-round go.
The statement of Morris was that the
Turk hail sunk his teeth in the back ol
his neck In the clinches, and a stream
. of blood down his back seemed to ver
ify this statement. Morris several
times complained to the referee, and
once sank on his knees, his face screwed
up with pain.
The bout was a bitter one, due to the
enmity between the two men, and the
Turk seemed to be getting the worst of
It, although he landed a couple of hard
haymakers that Jarred Morris. As they
bent over it looked very much as if
Abdo had resorted to foul tactics, and
was trying to win by any route. Ref
eree Blake adopted the same view, and
disqualified the Turk.
Here is the sequel. I have before me
the statement of a man known in the
sporting fraternity of Los Angeles as
«— reputable citizen of tho flght world
reputable citizen of the fight world
that Billy Morris came to him after the
fight and in his dressing room asked
him to bite him on the neck in order to
carry through the bluff of having been
bitten by the Turk.
This man refused to do so, and could
not if he had so desired, since his front
Teeth are missing, a fact which Mori
overlooked In his excitement. This
statement can if necessary be backed
Up by a sworn affidavit, and the name
of the man will be used if such is
necessary. This Is printed without fur
ther comment, merely to place on rec
ord the fact that a rough, awkward
fighter seems to have been unjustly
accused.
Owner Robison and Scout Billy Gil
bert of the St. Louis Nationals, who
watched yesterday's nnd Tuesday's
games between Vernon and S*jcrau_en
to, have their eyes on Pitcher Raleigh.
The youngster whose appearance In big
league ball has mounted up to only a
few weeks has shown surprising class,
and these scouts are not the first to
cast their eyes longingly in his direc
tion. He has developed speed, and a
puzzling a sortment of curves. Is re
markably cool under flre, and uses his
head well In a pinch. These are quali
ties ln themselves to recommend him
to the attention of the big leaguers.
Raleigh has proved to be one of the
mainstays In the Vernon pitching line,
and Is rapidly becoming one of the
twirling stars of the coasters. He in
young and, of course, Inexperienced,
but has one characteristic that may
make him a national figure, and that
Is his modesty. Big league experience
would probably develop him Into ' a
classy pitcher, but It wlll hardly make
him a swell-headed one. Raleigh's
most valuable asset Is this same lack
p' the ego, which Is the ruination of
many a good player. Here Is a predic
tion that he finds a berth In the fill
eastern brush next season. In all of
this It would be unfair not to give
Happy Hogan a big portion of credit
for making Raleigh what he Is. Hogan
has brought out the best there Is In
this boy and Is entitled to stand sponsor
for him.
Orendorff, Daley and Franzel Hosp
of the coaster Angels are also under
the watchful eagle view of the St.
Louis scout and owner. Particularly Is
this true of Hosp. whose pitching this
season certainly entitles him to some
thing good next season. Just what
notion has been or will be taken neither
Gilbert nor Robinson will state, but It
is probable that some definite state
ment can be made shortly.
A letter received from r"apt. Frank
Dillon partially explains the poor show
ing by his men in the north against
the. Oaklanders, It 1s proverbial that
a ball player Is as sensitive as a race
horse. Dillon received word that Mrs.
Dillon was very 111 and had found It
necessary to undergo an operation. The
lads one and nil were downhearted,
and their nlavlng dropped correspond
ingly as did their cheerlness. But Just
before starting north Dillon received
a message saying that his wife was Im
proving rapidly following the operation,
and the spirits of the team rose with a
hound. The captain, although ball
players are not wont to be demonstra
tive in their affections. Is almost Idol
ized by his men, nnd Mrs. Dillon Is held
in similar regard. This explanation]
may seem far fetched, but tn those
who are closely associated With players
It Is entirely a reasonable and expected
one.

KLING STANDS FIRM
KANSAS CITY, July 21.—"1 will
quit baseball "rather than return to
Chicago to play for Murphy," said
Johnny KUng, the champion catcher,
here today.
"I am through with Murphy and Ills
Chicago club. - I will play with any
other club that meets my terms, how
ever, but never with Chicago."
Referring to Murphy's statement in
New York that KUng had not acted In
a sportsmanlike manner, the catcher
said:
"I gave Murphy every chance to se
cure my services this year, but he re
fused all my propositions. It is Murphy
who has. acted unsportsmanlike. Per- I
sonally, I regret the whole affair."
. '
A.E. Dunning
maker In the Inst tour seconds of tlm
Inst round when he had Walsh whipped
to a frazzle and practically out, Is aft
er a return match. Gene, wants to light
Walsh before McCarey's club or is
willing to go before a beach audience
nd tight twenty rounds at San Pedro.
He also adds by way of emphasis thai
ho will tight Walsh on a basis of win
er take all, which Is the utmost that
could be demanded of any tighter to
rove his earnestness.
' From far-off Vancouver, where the
racing game is being conducted In a
clean manner and Is well patronized,
comes Eddie Ryan, known, to all local
followers of the game. He brings a
lowing report of conditions on the
northern track. The Vancouver track,
located at The Willows, Is conducted
bettter than any half mile track lie
ever saw, and Ryan has taken ln about
alt of them. Square racing Is being Of
fered and the conduct of the game Is
above reproach. The plant is high
class In every particular and the sport
Is excellent. Among the bookmakers
on the firing line aro Hughey Jones,

ie best half-mile etarteri in the busi
isa and has made an enviable record
for clean getaways from the post this
season. The St. James stable is the
leading winning owner at present, and
its French Cook took the Victoria 'feat
ure, the Derby, valued at $1000. Archi
bald is leading the jockiea In the num
ber .if winning mounts, with R. Brooks,
who was a stab!.* boy at Santa .Anita,
but has Improved fully 100 per cent,
standing second. Vosper, who rode In
the south under the colors of W. T.
Anderson, and Is now going free lance,
Is the sensation of the season in getting
away fast from the barrier, being re
garded as the best post boy *at the
meeting. Roalta is the best horse up
to ii mile on the track, and Day Star,
which has beaten Edwin T. Fryer, Fan
tastic and other speedy ones, Is the
best at distances over a mile. He won
the Dominion handicap two weeks ago.
The track will close August 14 and
racing will open at Lulu park, Van
couver, August 21, continuing until the
latter part of September, thus giving
the Canadians all summer racing. One
of the most significant'features of the
Canadian racing Is the fact that the
Jockeys are never fined for rough rid
ing. When they transgress the that the
keys are never line,l for rough rid-
When they transgress the rules of
square racing the boys are deported
from Canada and are never thereafter
permitted to appear on a British track.
So strict are the officials in enforcing
this rule that it lias practically put an
end to crooked riding.
One noteworthy declaration brought
back by Ryan is that every racing fol
lower, owner, jockey or official seems
to be looking forward to racing next
winter In California.
Monte Attell being matched with
Jimmy Reagan tor August 12. he could
not take on Danny Webster for August
3 at McCarey's pavilion, but he may
meet th(» Los Angeles boy In the fail.
Webster and Mike Kutchos may come
to terms for a ten-round bout at Mc-
I Carey's for August 10, Kutchos being
willing to meet Webster on a winner
take-all basis with a side bet If Webster
will make 116 at 6 o'clock. This will be
staged as a seml-windup to the Barry-
Burns contest if it Is arranged.
It Is probable that there "Mil be no
contests at McCarey's pavilion August
3, as the Pacific Athletic club was un
able to come to terms with Phil Brock,
and the opening event will be on August
10. No word has been- received fro
Jack, Burns regarding a meeting with
Jim Barry for the initial date, but
Barry is ready to go on with the
Salinas boy as a starter for the fa
campaign on the const.
Jim Barry will not "train at Doyle's
for any contests lie may have in Los
Angeles, yesterday he moved his ef
fects to East Side, where he will get ln
shape tor his coming battles.
Young Jeffries, the 122-pound lad who
has made good In the south, was tried
out at the pavilion yesterday and
showed good form in his trial rounds.
lb* will be matched with some local boy
for a six-round go so as to give the
Los Angeles fans a chance to see him
in action.
Muggsy School Is anxious to come to
Los Angeles and meet some of the
lightweights in the local ring. His
knockout of Charlie Dalton in the fifth
round has given his stock quite a boost
anil he is willing to meet anyone of his
weight.
