The Hennessey-Westbrook victory put that team in the semi, finals. BY VEDDER GARD Zenzo Shimizu against Chuck Garland. Not'a dream, but a reality for ki tennis fans of this city. The Jap and the great Pittsburgh player were to meet this afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Woodstock Club in the semi-final round of the national clay court tourney. The winner will meet Tilden for the title. The morning matches today were shifted to the Hawthorn Club courts because of the wet condition of the grounds at Woodstock. Officials of the meet said the afternoon contests would be played at Woodstock as scheduled if the courts there were pronounced fit by the referee. The finals in the men's singles and doubles will be played Sunday after-, noon at Woodstock, the singles title match starting at 1:30. Lots of Doubles Action The fourth round doubles today was j to see Indianapolis performers in action. Burdick and Bastlan, the best of local teams, were to play White and Parkes of Ardmore. Pa., and Hennessey and Westbrook were to meet Brown and Kammann of St. Louis. Tilden and Weiner were to play Keith and Fulton of Cleveland. The semi-finals In the doubles were to be played late this afternoon. The i late morning winners were to go into the runner-up class, along with Shimizu and Beals Wright, the famous veteran. who reached the semi-finals on Thursday. The last-named pair was to play the last match of today at 5 o'clock. The boys’ final contest was to be played at 2 o’clock between Donald fetrachan, Tilden’s protege from • iiadelphia, and Byron Donaldson of trolt. Rain interfered yesterday, but the weather man was cheated to some extent when the junior finals and one of the men’s semi-finals matches were played on the covered court of Carl Fisher. Chicago Boy Takes Title George Lott of Chicago is the junior clay court champion of the United States by virtue of his defeat of Leonard Reed of Pittsburgh in a five-set match, 6-0, 3-6. 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. Reed could not get started and lost the first set largely through his own errors. In the next two sets he played sensationally, his volleys finding the corners of the court consistently. After the rest period Lott came back strong and his steadiness finally counted. While the rain beat down, outside Lott gradually pushed the Pittsburgh player back and at the end of five sets the sun was shining for young Lott while the gloomy clouds seemed darker than ever to Reed, the vanquished. Tilden won from Wesbrook in the men’s singles match played on the Fisher covered court late Friday in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2 and 6-4. The collegian gave the champion a battle, especially In the first set. but finally lost In bitterly contested tilts. Wesbrook had Tilden five games to two at the start, but could not take the set. In the morning games yesterday in the boys’ division, Donaldson’s naturadvantage in size was too much for ndy Weiner and Weiner lost, 7-5, 7-5. Von Burg of Indianapolis went down before Strachan of Philadelphia. COOLER HOLDS CUE TITLE State Three-Cushion Champion Beats Rarasey in Last Block. Harry Cooler of this city retains the State three-cushion billiard title. He defeated Walter Ramsey, 60 to 36. in the final block of their match Friday night, making the total score 150 to 135 In the champion’s favor. The final block went eighty-six innings.

Ruth and Mates Nose Way Back to Within Margin of First Place. HOYT WINS TIGHT ONE BY WESTBROOK PEGLER. United News Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July B.—Reciting to himself: “It ain’t right to bet on a hoss race; I must not bet on the hoss races," George Babe Ruth stepped to the plate in the first inning of the game between the Yankees and the Indians Friday and smashed out the single that won the ball game and brought the Yankees almost back into their old perch at the top of the American League. The Babe’s hit scored Witt with the only run of the tightest possible game. The reformed terror of the big leagues got another single in the ‘sixth inning, but it went for naught. Winning, 1 to 0, in a pitching contest between Waite Hoyt and Guy Morton, who gave only five hits apiece, the Yanks approached so close to the St. Louis Browns that there was a possibility of the lead changing hands today. The Browns halved a double-header with the Red Sox in Boston Friday, winning the first one. 1 to 0, and losing the other, 4 to 6. _ WITH THE LEAGUERS Georse Kelly’* utonnd of two homer* Friday sent the Giant* and Pirate* home In the gathering gloom with the McGraw entry an eighteen-inning victor, 9 to 8.

Enter George Burns of Boston in the home run club. His smash over the left field fence off Pruett in the thirteenth gave the Red Sox a 5-to4 verdict over the Browns in the second game, after Shocker had pitched the Sox silly. 1 to 0, in the opener. The Reds had nothing to say for publication against the pitching of “Specs” Meadows, and the Phils got the long end of a 3-to-l score. The Tigers got to Johnson, Mogridge, Zachary and Brilheart for a matter of thirty-three hits in two games, the Washington Senators finishing a strong second in both, 7 to 6 and 11 to 9.

LENGLEN TAKES WOMEN'S CROWN IN NET^MATCH Suzanne Downs Mo'la Mallory in Straight Sets ii British Finals. THOUSANDS SEE CONTEST YYIMBIJiDON, England, July 8. —Suzanne Lenglen of France late today won the world’s women’s 1 tennis championship when she 1 defeated Mrs. Molla Mallory of America in straight sets in she finals of the British tennis tourney here. The score of the first set. was 6-2 and of the second set 6-0. Fifteen thousand people witnessed the match. BY WILLIAM SWEETS, United Press Staff Correspondent. WIMBLEDON, England, July B. Moila Mallory. America, was to meet Suzanne Lenglen, f champion of Europe, on the court at Wimbledon late this afternoon in a match that will crown one the world's tennis queen. No recent event of years has attracted the interest that has arisen in this “battle of the century." between the two greatest of all women tennis stars. First Meeting Incomplesed The meeting between the pair in the final round of the British national championships is the last act of a drama started in the United States last slimmer when a coughing, hysterical French girl left the court and. retired when the .merciless American star was on her way to a sure victory. Thousands of rampant tennis fans, including those of the classes and masses, gathered early for the choice seats in the big stadium and thousands more were on their way before noon. Skies were cloudy and threatening. Camp stools, umbrellas and all kinds of improvised comforts took the American back to his home country and made him visualize the long lines waiting outside a ball park for the world's scries. Mile. Lenglen was a 3-to-2 favorite over the American champion In what the British call friendly wagering. They do not call it betting on tennis. Experts Were in Doubt I While the ordinary run of the fans | picked the French star to win’, the I critics were doubtful to the point of I neutrality. Barring the psychological j factor, many of the experts expressed j the opinion that Mrs. Mallory should 'be favored because of her known j ability as a “money player.” Neither one of the players would ! comment on their chances. The “be-foro-the-battle” statements consisted merely of a terse remark that they were both ready and feeling good. Mile. Lenglen admitted to some | questioning that she had been playing I the best game of her career in the preliminary rounds, but she called at- * tention that she was not In as good physical shape as she used to be. J King George and Queen Mary were present to view the title match. Walker Cracks Another PHILADELPHIA. July B. Clarence Walker, Athletic outfielder, hit his nineteenth home run of the season in the first Inning of the first game of today's double-header with the White Sox. No one was on bane. Faber was pitching. - Good Form

Control Most Valuable of Assets for Effective Pitching,

BY BILLY EVANS. I often have asked some of the game’s greatest pitchers what they regarded as their most valuable asset. The reply always has been the same—control. Mathewson had a great fadeaway, a fine curve and a wonderful fast ball. Yet batters who have faced Mathewson Will tell you that he wasn’t a hard man to hit, except In a pinch. With the bases empty, Mathewson always had the ball over the plate, and you had to takO your swing, or listen to the constant calling of strikes by the umpire. However, in a pinch, Mathewson was almost unhittable. Mathewson attributed his great pitching to his remarkable control, rather than to his deceptive fadeaway and puzzling fast ball. I have discussed pitching with Rube Waddell, Cy Young, Chief Bender, Ed Walsh, Grover Alexander, Miner Brown and many of the other great pitchers, and with them the

They were to meet the Toledo Hens in a single game today, and Sunday a doubleheader will be played. The Hens are playing real baseball now and the locals can afford to take no chances ; with them If they want to remain in ! the lead. The second-place Saints made good | use of their time yesterday and won over Milwaukee, while the loading Indians were idle, thus gaining a half-game in the tight race. The Millers seem to be getting clear out of the race in a terrible slump, caused mostly by ineffective pitching. After the Toledo series Columbus comes here Monday. It was likely | that Weaver would go against To- ' ledo this afternoon, with Hill and | Cavet probable choices for the hurlj ing in the double bill on Sunday. Os the Indian regulars, Eddie 1 Brown is leading the sluggers with an average of .364. Krueger Is second ' with .358. Sicking is third with .311 and Rehg fourth with .310.

question of control was always uppermost. Take the case of Ed Walsh for Instance. Walsh was h spitball pitcher. They have been any number of pitchers with just as good a spltter as Walsh, yet none has met with anything like the success that smiled on the former White Sox star. He had remarkable control. A most excellent example of what control means to a pitcher was forcibly brought to my attention in the no-run, no-hit, not-a-man-to-reach-first game by Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White Sox this season. In that game Robertson had practically every batsman in the hole. He got the first ball over for a strike. Only two of the Detroit players to face him managed to get three balls. The count was three balls and two strikes on Blue and Veach. Blue was struck out and Veach flied out on the next pitch.

Roush, Hold-out, Fishes Now and Calmly Waits

A MODERN ACTION PHOTO OF EDDIE AND A RECENT CLOSE-UP.

By XEA Service ' OAKLAND CITY, Ind., July B. What does a holdout do in the middle of a busy baseball season? Some of them play semi-pro, and again some of them Just hold out. Take Eddie Roush, for Instance, a famous batsman of the Cincinnati Reds, it holdout of the first class. “They say they can’t afford to pay mo SIB,OOO on a three-year contract, that they are losing money. I hear that lust year they paid 20 per cent dividends,*’ says Eddie. “I can hook up with several semipro teams. I have offers that will

Veteran Giants Usually Get Well-Treated by McGraw

BY HENRY FARRELL, United Press Bports Editor. NEW YORK. July s.—John McGraw probably looks’ back with regret on a lot of things in his career. He may be sorry for having been the central figure in numerous discrediting affairs, but he “never will be required to apologize for the way he has treated his ball players. At the coat of thousands of dollars and the stinging of the sharp tongue of criticism, McGraw has stuck by ball players who were loyal to him years after they had passed their prime. Two years ago McGraw was accused by New York of hanging the pennant hopes of the Giants by playing Larry Doyle and Art Fletcher on the infield. No one knew bettor than McGraw that both were through, but he would not let them go until he found a good place for them. He found a managerial berth for Doyle and sent Fletcher to Philadelphia to Inherit the Job of team pilot. Fletcher never landed the Job, because he was forced to leave the game on account of private affairs Just before the vacancy occurred. When McGraw traded George Burns to the Cincinnati Reds this year, the fans wanted the Giant house to fall on him. That deal now appears In a different aspect, because it is reliably reported that Pat Moran is to be relieved from the leadership of the Reds and Bums Is to succeed him. * • * The Giants are taking care of a lot of old timer baseballers. Amos Rusie is day watchman and assistant superintendent of the Polo grounds. John B. Day, former president of the Giants, is an attendant at the grounds and

CRIQUI IS AFTER KILBANE Knocks Out Wyns and Now Seeks World’s Tile In Class. By United Yeic* PARIS, July 8. —Eugene Criqui, the French featherweight champion, established himself as the champion of all Europe when he knocked out Wyns. the Belgian boxor, In the twelfth round of a scheduled twentyround decision fight, Friday night. At first It was believed that Criqui had scored only a technical knockout, as it appeared that the referee had stopped the bout to save the Belgian. The official explained, however, that he had finished the count over the Belgian. An immense throng howled Its praises of Criqui. who was an infantryman during the war and was wounded. He announced immediately that he would go right after a match with Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion, for the world’s title. Yank Sculler Captures Big Trophy From British By United Press HENLEY, England, July 8. —Walter Hoover of Duluth, the American champion sculler, became the champion of the world on the Thames River today when he defeated Jack Beresford, the British champion, in the final race for the "diamond sculls” trophy. It was the first time since early in the nineties that victory has gone to America in this event. Hoover jumped away to the lead at the start and was never headed. He finished with ease in 9:32 and was hardly winded when he dropped his sweeps. Despite the chagrin in losing another of its most coveted championships, the crowd took the victory of the Amerioan sportingly and gave him generous applause.

net me SIO,OOO for six weeks, but I haven’t decided. “I would rather be with Cincinnati, but if it came to second choice I would prefer the New York club. “McGraw is a wonderful manager and he makes a fellow play baseball and do things that he never knew he could do before. “But I am not worrying what I am going to do. "Why, if it comes to a showdown I can catch $lB worth of fish out there in the Patoka River,” says Eddie with a sly glance. Then he lightened up and added. “ —and maybe I can sell them to the Cincinnati club, huh?”

Jim Mutrie, Day’s old manager, is on a pension of $25 a week. Dan Brouthers is night watchman at the grounds and Tom York is the guard on the press box gate. • * • In paying tribute to the generosity of McGraw it is not meant that the other major league managers are villains. McGraw, . Connie Mack, Trls Speaker and Branch Rickey are the only managers in a position to have a voice in the operations of the business office. • • • Under the guidance of the late James C. Dunn, the Cleveland club arose to one of the most respected posit. ons in baseball. Now that Tris Speaker, E. S. Barnhard and Walter McNichols have been placed in charge of the club, there is no danger that the prestige of the team will suffer. • * * Placed in absolute charge by the will of the late owner, there is little doubt now that Speaker will retire at the end of the 1922 season and will assume a position of the chief adviser, like Clarke Griffith holds with his Washington club. Ty Cobb, the fiery leader of the Detroit Tigers, said he was going to lay down the reins if he did not succeed at pilot of Navin’s team. The way he is pushing the hustling Jungaloers along this season, Cobb will still be managing when the world’s series is played with the winner in the Mars League. • • • To show that there was nothing malicious in his heart when he canned Pat Moran after Pat had won a pennant for him. Bill Baker should call him back and give him another chance with the Phils.
