AMERICA HAS GREAT HIGHT
ONTORETAINWORLD'S TITLE
AT TENNIS ON OWN COURTS
fi NY discussion of America’s
A chances of maintaining our
‘ justly earned title to the pos
gesison of the Davis Cup, symbol of
. the world's championship in tennis,
is fraught with many difficulties and
contingencies—not' only because the
American defenders have not even
been definitely chosen and the time
of the matches a month away, but
rather because, figure it as you will,
at the present time it is not evident
that there is a great amount of dif
ference between the three most prom
inent romvndersr-Enxlnnd, Australia
and the United States.
This has been a great year for the
word “psychological,” and we invoke
its ald just now, for it is perhaps that
kind of an advantage which we pos
sess and which tips the scale suffi
clently in our direction to make it
- geem likely that our defenders will be
able, barring mishap or an untoward
break in the game, to hold on to the
cup. To beat us, Australia and Eng
land will have to come a long way
first and fight each other for a chance
at us.
; True it is, Wilding and Brookes,
the two upon whom Australia most
depends, and Parke, the mainstay of
the English team, are old campaign
ers and are not apt to be affected to
~ a great degree by playing away from
home, but it is likely that the strug
gle between them for the right to
challenge may take some of the fire
_from their game. And the very fact
. of having come so great a distance
» may require them to overcome this
: with a little more superiority in the
game than they ,now PpOBSeSs. of
' course, it might happen that France's
" team will beat England at ‘Wimble
~ don, or that Canada may defeat Aus
tralia at Ontwensia in the prelimina
ries, but the tennis world generally
looks upon either of these as an out
. gide possibility. And so, at Long
wood August 6, when Wilding,
Brookes, Doust and Dunlop, for Aus
tralia, face Parke, Barrett, Mavro
~ gardato and Kingscote for England,
. the American team will look on while
. the two wings of our opposition, ram
pant, attempt to flay each other.
’ Their First Time Here.
It will be the first appearance of
" Wilding and Brookes on American
' courts and an event of far-reaching
interest, bringing together for the
first time in our country the undls
puted ranking players in the world.
_There may he doubt as to the rank
'ing of others, but there are few to
deny that Wilding, Brookes, Parke
andwour own ‘McLoughlin are the four
who stand at the top of the list.
And so if England is the challenger
at Forest Hills August 13, it will be
up'to McLoughlin to beat Parke, and
* whoever is chosen to play the other
singles match, trusting Willlams or
~ possibly young Murray to win a
match; or, failing to beat Parke, Me-
Loughlin, with his partner, must win
. the doubles. It had been hoped that
, McLoughlin would be able to play
only in the singles, but it now seems
~certain that he will also have to play
in the doubles, with Bundy, Murray
or some other partner chosen by the
committee.
a Experience Counts.
. As experience counts for so much
. in the doubles, it would seem wise to
' play Bundy with McLoughlin, though
" the committee in charge will be gov
erned by the showing of the differ
ent aspirants before making a de
. cision.
Parke, within the past twelve
. months in competition, has beaten
~ Wilding, Brookes and McLoughlin,
but the advantage would probably be
with McLoughlin should they meet
here. Bither McLoughlin, Willilams
or Murray should be able to beat any
other member of the English team.
On the other hand, should Austra
lia be the challenger, winning from
England at Longwood, M(-Lnughlln‘
would have his great chance to \le(-'
. gut the decisive defeat he suffered at
Wilding’s hands in the vhanongp‘
. round for the champlonship of Eng
" land last summer. And at the same
. time, we may add, he will have a
task that will call, and loudly, for
everything he is carrying In tennis
gower that particular afternoon. But
. because Wilding beat McLoughlin
three straight sets, let us not forget
that two of them were long deuce af-!
fairs, with McLoughlin just missing
both by a close point, when to have
won either would have changed the
entire aspect of the contest. And it
must also be remembered that Wild
_ing was able to direct his determined
charge unceasingly and unwavering
ly at McLoughlin's weakness—a
. ground stroke on his backhand. It is
. npeither likely that Wilding could do
the same so continuously again. nor
that McLoughlin has failed to eradi
_ cate some of his weakness in prepa
. ration for the contests this summer
The fact is, our very best chance for
retaining the cup lles in the expe
~rlends which McLoughlin gained in
his English campaign last summer,
coupled with the natural ability he
has to play the game as well as any
of his opponents 2
Brookes a Great Player.
Brookes, when right, is very little
if any below Wilding, and unless Mc.
Loughlin beats Wilding we will have
plenty of trouble the rest of the way.

brilllant or successful season. Of the
three, Harvard seemed to have the
Pest material and chances, and hence
her showing Is perhaps the most dis
appointing. In her earlier games she
lost twice to Holy Cross and also to
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth., True,
Harvard defeated Princeton a game,
but in the series with Yale, although
expected to win, the team suffered
Cefeat. Harvard lost the first game
to Yale June 16 by a score of 6-1, won
the second next day at 7-3, but in the
deciding game at Fenway Park, Bos
ton, June 260, after gaining a big lead
in the early innings, finally lost to
Yale by the score of 13-8,
Princeton won the serles from
Yale, but was unfortunate in losing
the only game Yale won, at Princeton
June 13, during the commencement
and reunion celebrations. ‘With
President Wilson and thousands of
alumn! on hand and one game al
ready won, the team disappointed the
alumni and student body by losing a
3-1 game. - However, the deciding
game at the Polo Grounds, which
Princeton won from Yale by 1-0, was
perhaps the best-played game of the
college season. |
Many High-Priced
Phenoms Fail to
Deliver in Majors
,\\’ho says the baseball club owners
will not take a chance? Pipe the way
they go back to the doughbin for coin
when a “phenom” comes on the
scene, even though the law of aver
ages shows that high-priced recruits
In the minors bat about .009 average
In the success league, when they
move up.
Larry Chappell, the $8,500 Milwau
kee skyrocket bought by the Sox last
year, is down with blood poisoning
and may lose his foot, Even if he
doesn't he never amounted to a great
deal and the price paid for him was
above his value.
Hlistory shows that most of our fa
mous high-priced diamond lights have
turned out to be rhinestones.
The Detroit club last year paid be
tween $B,OOO and $lO,OOO in dollars
and players for Ralph Comstock.
Ralph is stil coming, although he
has a hard job winning games in the
International League. He did not last
a month in the American this season.
O'Toole, $22,500, has yet to deliver
even $2600 worth to the Pirates;
Russell Blackburn, $lO,OOO, had to be
sent back, refurbished and handled
with care, before he became even @
serviceable big leaguer. Lefty Rus
sell broke Connie Mack’s heart by
falling down to a $0.30 valuatbon after
Cornelius had Invested the wages of
12,000 section hands for one day in
the southpaw. And what of Elmer
Brown, the §7,000 diamond pendant
Brooklyn was so eager to grab from
the Browns’ Montgomery farm. He
has the paste-diamond hallmark on
him already.
History is stocked with other In
stances of high prices for low re
turns. And yet the magnates will go
right back the very next time the
chance offers and grab a “phenom”
from the bushes—and pay the price,
two ways, perhaps.

In view of the fact that Bert Nie

| Another Post-mortem
rmmmnrnnrnrnnnnrn~By Damon RUnyon
Scene: A cafe. Cast of characters: A party of gents.
First Gent—That Johnson-Moran thing must have been awful, huh?
Well, I wasn't surprised. It looked screwy to me all along. Just the other
days I says to——
Second Gent—l lose eighteen bucks on Moran. Of course, I figured it
was a cook-up m'se’f, but I read Billy Brady’s story about it being a cinch
for Moran, and I thought Bill must be in-and-in. I'll never believe a word
that Brady says again. !
Third Gent—Bill ain’t been right since the battle of Shiloh. That Moran
is a bum. He don't know one hand from another, and he never did.
Fourth Gent—Give us som'pin to drink here, Mist Barkeep. Make
mine a little more o’ that red licker.
First Gent—l'll take the same. You know, at that, it served those
Paris people right to have som’pin handed to 'em. I'm not sorry to see it
They're just a lot of foreigners, anyway.
Second Gent—Sure! It's all right to hand it to them Parishioners. I
In’t kickin' about that, but what do they want to hand it to me for? I
lose eighteen bucks, but it ain’t the money I'm sore about. 1 got three to
one, and three to one is a gaod bet anytime, even if you lose, but Bill
Brady shilled me into it, and I don’t think that's right.
Couldn’t Hit Johnson With Handful of Rice.
Third Gent—That Moran is just a hunk o' cheese. I've always said
that. He couldn’'t hit Johnson with a handful o’ rice if the dinge didn’t
want him to. O' course, I'dah liked to see Moran win on account o' him
bein' white, and all that, but I never figured him a chanst. That Johnson
is no sucker inside them ropes. -
Fourth Gent-Hey, barkeep, give us another drink here!
First Gent—Aw, Sullivan, or Corbett, or Fitz couldah knocked him dead
when they was good.
Second Gent—They couldah, could they?
First Gent—Yes, they couldah.
Third Gent—Well, who'd they ever lick that was any good?
Fourth Gent—Hey, where's that barkeeper? Oh! Well, give us
som'pin more to drink here.
Second Gent—Well, what I say is this: When Americans go out
to give them foreigners ‘‘the work,” they ought to tip off us folks at home,
so we won't lose our dough. They ought to tip off a fellow like Bill
Brady, anyway. Now, I lose my eighteen bucks—
First Gent—O' eourse, I ain't no walkin’ record book, and I can’t tell
you who they licked just off hand, but didden Sullivan lick Paddy Ryan, or
Jake Kilrain, or somebody? ]
Third Gent—A lot o' stews.
Fourth Gent—Gi’ us a drink here!
First Gent—Juh ever see any of 'em fight?
Corbett Licked a Lot of ‘‘Old Tubs.”
Third Gent—No, I didden, but I know Johnson couldah licked any of
‘em on a rabbit skin. Who'd that Corbett ever lick, anyway? He beat
Sullivan when Sullivan was an ol’ tub, and all in, and he picked on Charley
Miichell when Charley had long white whiskers. That don’t git him nothin’
with me, I tell you that. Fitz was a pretty fair man, but Johnson licked
him, didden he?
Second Gent—l don't mind no American trimmin’ a foreigner, but I
think they ought to be a law agin givin’ a man’'s own nationality *the
work.” It wouldna hurt Danny McKetrick, or somebody, to pull Bill Brady
off to one side and say: “Now, Billy, the old stuff is comin’ off here in this
fight, and youn want to sort o' give the bettin’ public on the other side the
office to lay off.”
Fourth Gent—l want another drink here!
First Gent—Licked Fitz, eh? Ha-ha! Sure, he licked Fitz, but they
hadda carry Fitz into the ring on a stretcher, he was so old and all in.
‘ Third Gent—And he licked Jeff, didden he?
First Gent—Ha-ha-ha! That's a joke, that is. That makes me laugh
Sure, he licked Jeff. but Jeff was a thousand years old, wasn't he? And at
that, I've always had a hunch they might be som’pin in that dope story.
Second Gent—lf they'dah pulled that thing off here you know whaddada
happened to them guys.
Fourth Gent—Gi'sa dring!
First Gent—Sure! They'dah got medals pinned on 'em.
Second Gent (darkly)—Some one udah got hurt!
Fourth Gent—Gi'sa dring!
Fall for Many Fakes in This Country.
First Gent—Ha-ha-ha! That's rich! How many fakes have we fell
for in this country, anyway?
Second Gent—l don't know. I didden have no eighteen bucks bet on
’em, though. You wait'll I-see Bill Brady.
Fourth Gent—Gi'sa dring!
Barkeep—Well, gents, I'm goin' to close up now. Some o' vou better
take Sam here home with you. He's had about all he can handle.
First Gent—Goo'nigh’, Joe. Well, I guess it was a bum fight, at that.
Still, T wasn't surprised. It looked screwy to me all along.
Second Gent—Well, to tell the truth, I figured it was in all the time, too,
and I on'y bet just to have a bet down. It served those foreigners right.
Third Gent—l knew som’'pin’ was doin’ from the time they signed
articles. Yes, sir, it mustah been a rotten fight to watch.
Fourth Gent—Who wanz figh'? Whoz talkin’ abdut figh’'? Tl'll figh'
‘anybody in houz! Gi'sa dring, here—gi'sa dring.
\ Barkeeper—'Night, boys!

of the New England League.
Jimmy Ring had a tryout with the
Brooklyn Superbas last spring, and
though he is just out of his teens he
has won ten games so far and lost
only two. In addition he has be2n
hitting .320. Burke can play either
the infield or outfield, and is also hit
ting around .300, in addition to being
one of the fastest men in the league.
The local club has not accepted the
$12,000, and several scouts from other
clubs have looked over the players,
and they are holding out for a higher
price.

NEGRO CHANGE
TOBE GHAMPION
Australian Promoter Staged the
Burns Fight When Others
Turned Down Card.
Y
By Harveyv T. Woodruff.
ACK JOHNSON, heavyweight
J champion of the world, the only
negro who ever held the honor,
owes his title to Hugh Mcllntosh, the
former Australian fight promoter,
who practically had a monopoly ot
‘the boxing shows in the Antipodes
until he sold out his interests last fall
to “Snowy” Baker. Perhaps it would
be more correct to say that Mclntosh
gave Johnson the opportunity to be
come champion. Mclntosh matched
Johnson with Tommy Burns for the
bout in Sydney on December 26, 1908,
in which Johnson lifted the crown.
The match came after persistent
challenging by Johnson. There is no
doubt that Burns did not care to meet
the negro. Many pugilistic writers,
‘however, were hounding Burns and
charging him with cowardice, for he
had earned his title by an easier
route than any previous holder.
Burns was disinclined to meet a ne
gro. Aside from that, he knew the
disadvantage he would be under
against the black in weight, reach
and height. Johnson weighed 40
pounds more and was six inches
taller.
So when pressed into a corner by
ccnditions in fistiana and practically
forced into a match, Burns demanded
‘a purse of $30,000, win, lose or draw.
Probably he hoped no promoter would
risk that sum.
~ Mcllntosh accepted the financial
cbligation. The rest is history. John
son punched and buffeted his smaller
opponent around the Sydney Ting un
til the police stopped the unequal
match in the fourteenth round. No
white pugilist has been able to stop
Johnson since.
There is no question that Johnson's
influence has had an unfavorable ef
fget on boxing in this country, not
only because of Johnson's escapades
outside the arena, but because of the
prejudice against the black race in
a large section of the United States.
That bout between Johnson and
Burns, however, made Mclntosh in
Australia as a puglillstlc promoter.

BAANGH RICKE!
AEAL GAUSE OF
TEAM SUCCESS
Receives All' Suggestions From
Players and Admits His Mis
takes When He Errs,
By Herman Wecke.
T. LOUIS, July 11—“ Why are
S the 1914 Brownies such an im
proved club?” That is the ques
tion popped all around the circuit,
There is only one.answer—Branch
Rickey.
Rickey is the MANAGER of the
club, and everyone knows it. Al
though he is the reali BOSS, Rickey
does not hold himselftin front of the
athletes.
If anyone has a suggestion to make
he can do so without getting a call
down. If the player's scheme is bet
ter than the one Rickey has, Rickey
will be the first one to notice it.
Here are some things Rickey has
accomplished since the spring train
ing trip started:
1. He has gainedithe confidence
of all his players.
2. He told them what he ex
pected of them.
3. If they did not'know how to
do it, he showed them.
4. He has made stars out of
athletes who were .only fair last
season.
5. He has all the athletes fight
ing, not for their own benefit, but
for the success of the club.
6. If he makes a mistake, he
does not blame it onto the player,
but admits that he made it.
And there are others too many to
mention.
That Rickey has the confidence of
all his players is shown clearly by the
fact that there is not a “crab” in the
lot. All of them are for Branch.
Who ever thought that Gus Wil
liams would be a star in 1914 after
watching him throughout the 1913
campaign?
That is just what has happened.
Williams ig hailed everywhere as one
of the stars among the meadowmen
in the A. L. and it's all through the
teaching of Branch Rickey that Wil
liams is what he is to-day.
That all the players are out for the
betterment of the club is shown
clearly by the team's showing this
season. Here we have Jimmy Austin
and Sam Agnew in the game day in
and day out, although they should be
on the bench. :
The tossers are for their manager,
though, and they are going to stick it
out just as long as they possibly can.
That's the kind of spirit all the play
ers have been showing this year.
