MISS HELEN WILLS’ NET CROWN IS SHAKY AS TITLE TOURNAMENT STARTS

POINTS tOST BY CHAMPS Washington Defeated as Athletics Are Idle —Other Major Gossip. Bv Times Special NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—After a season of outrageous abuse from the Washington Senators, the Yankees lashed out and took them on the chin with a farewell wallop Sunday, in their final meeting of the season. Urban Shocker held the Senators to seven hits and the Yanks went stumbling on their way, - slightly cheered by a small triumph/over a club that used to be the (joormaf on which they cleaned their spikes. The Yankees won 3 to 2, their seventh victory over the Senators in a season's proeram of twenty-two games, which indicates that Walter Johnson and his colleagues trimmed the Yanks many times. Half a Game Loss The defeat was not exactly a disaster for the Senators, but it certainly did them no good for they fell back half a game father in their pursuit of the Athletics, who obstinately decline to blow up. The Athletics were idle Sunday. lead the league by a margin Wt two games over the Senators and there are only forty-five games or so left on the schedule of each. Ty Cobb’s team made another rise to fourth place, through combination of events. The T-gers beat. the White Sox in Chicago, 11 to 9, and the Browns, who were in fourth position, lost to the Indians in Cleveland, 7 to 5. In the National The situation in the upper stories of the National League became a little more tense as a result of Sunday's business, but the tension is not very great even now. The Giants were four games behind the Pira.es when the day began and they are now 3% games to the rear. McGraw’s club played a doubleheader with the Braves and broke even while the Pirates dropped one to the Reds in Cincinnati, 6 to 1. Cooney of the Braves shut out the Giants, 6 to 0, in the opener and the second went to the league pions, 6 to 2. It is strange and sad but true that the Giants and Braves, the defending champions and the tailenders. have broken even in the season’s hostilities thus far with ten victories each. The Reds are 3 M games behind the Giants. The Cardinals began the day in a tie with the Dodgers for fourth, but they wound up in command of that position, and the Dodgers were IV* games behind them, in fifth. One victory for the cards and two walt pings for the Dodgers made this ifTerence. The Cardinals beat the Cubs, 6 to 2, and the Phils took two games from Brooklyn, 7 to 6 and 9 to 2.

Bv Times Special NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Paul Berlenbach, who suddenly cultivated a charley horse in his left arm and therefore asked to be excused from defending tho light heavyweight championship against Jack Delaney on Aug. 28, ■will have to let an official doctor test the aim this week to determine whether this injury is physical, as he says, or merely diplomatic, as the fight business strongly suspects. The boxing commission won’t release Berlenbach from his obligation if the doctor says bis arm is sound. The welterweight championship bout between Mi'.key Walker and Dave Shade, dat 1 for Sept. 29, will be tlie last championship affray of the ballyard season, if, and provided Walker doesn’t develop a sesever case of frost-bite in the toes and be? oc which is not beyond the scope of possibility, considering his fear of Shade.

INDIANS ARE THUMPED IN WEEK-END CLASHES $ Tribe Loses Two Saturday to Saints and Two Sunday to Millers —Pitchers Are Overworked. By Eddie Ash The battered pitching staff of the Indians received poor support in the field Sunday and Minneapolis grabbed off both games of the double-header, 7to 2 and 10 to 8. The Tribesmen also lost a double bill to the Saiiffs Saturday and the four defeats in two days proved a severe shock to followers of the Bushmen.

The third struggle of the Miller series was to be staged this afternoon and it was “ladies’ day” and “kids’ day.” Buck Schemanske, who has been on the suspended list, was slated to hurl for the Indians. Fail to Solve Middleton Only two of the seven runs scored off Burwell in the opening tilt Sunday were earned. He received terrible support and it was soft picking for the Kelleyites. Jimmy Middleton had the Tribe dazzled and allowed the locals only four hits. The two markers registered by the home pastimers were aided by an error. The second conflict on the Sabbath was an afternoon nightmare, the Indians losing after piling up an eightrun lead. Henry was knocked out and the tired Maun also fell before the Miller bats. Hill finished, but he came in too late —the damage had been done. Malone, Harris, Hall and McGraw hurled for the visitors and McGraw put the check to the Tribe attack. The Millers made six errors in this game and the Tribe three. Catcher Robertson was on the crippled list and Florence was behind the bat in both contests, and he went to pieces in the wind-up fray and the Millers ran wild on him. Henry 'Weakens The Indians scoed five runs in the second stanza and .three in the third. Henry weakened in the fourth and the Millers nailed him fbr three runs. Three more Miller markers counted in the fifth and four in the sixth. That was curtains for the home talent. The closing game was a six-inning affair, the 6 o’clpck law stopping the athletes before the Indians completed their half of the seventh, which caused the fracas to revert to six innings. The Indians had two men on base and one out when the clock put an end to the day’s pastiming. The double-header attracted about 5,700 fans, tho majority of whom ducked out of the park as the Indians were "taking it” from all angles as the Millers paraded around the sacks.

Champ Not Believed Up to Form— Sixty-Four Players Gather for Event in East. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—With Helen Wills badly off her game and apparently not in the best physical condition, anew national tennis champion may be crowned in the tournament starting today at Forest Hills. .

Even with her best game and her regular equipment, the young California girl would be In danger against 3uch a game as Miss Elizabeth Ryan, the former California star, and Miss Kathleen McKane, the ace of the British Wightman cup team, have been playing. The virile game of the California girl demands a lot of power and strength as she depends chiefly upon hard driving and a fast pace. She has not been covering court like she did last season and she has to keep strictly on the offensive for self-pro-tection. Sixty-four players, including the best, in England, Canada and the United States were to start play this afternoon in the championship tournament. All of the visiting British players were seeded in the draw and the Americans who were seeded were Miss Wills, Miss Ryan, Mrs. Molla Mallory, Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Mary K. Browne and Mrs. Marion Jessup.
