Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Sept. 9. WHILE the Athletics were bludgeoning through the American League, the clients sat back, clasped their hands smugly in front of them, and allowed as how it was a good thing for baseball. Particularly was this sentiment evident in the outlying precincts, where there eomehow is a tendency to link the Yankees with the capitalists tt tt tt As Miller Huggins’ men rode through, high and mighty, to three i-uecessive pennants and two straight sweeps in the world series, our cousins in the hinterland likened them to the monied class stamping on the peasantry. Yet. now. as the runaway race goes down the stretch, it takes a set of eyes far more discerning than those of old Colonel William to discover the vast benefits of the demise of the New York club. tt a * a THEY’VE departed all right, but seemingly left no legacy. The r thing for baseball has turned to be a bad thing for seven of the eight clubs. Those who were quick to declaim the end of Yankee supremacy and saw in it vast benefits forgot all about the 50.000 or more New Yorkers who scratched belt buckles on the stadium turnstiles on Saturdays and Sundays, and on week days when the fighting was thickest, and whose presence contributed no little to the finances of whatever club was so fortunate to be opposing the Yanks those days. B B B With the home outfit definitely out of it. attendance has slumped sharply hereabouts—fallen off in almost direct ration to the drop of the Hugmen. 808 THERE is no Sunday ball in Philadelphia, nor is there the capacity there to accommodate flocks of the magnitude that worshipped at the shrine of the incomparable Ruth. B tt B Junior loop clubs, with the exception of the Athletics, will not show the financial returns they did in those seasons when the Yanks were coming —and going. The Yanks, and their public, were good fellows when they had it. as the owners of the seven other outfits now realize. Night Grid Game ftv Times Special VINCENNES.

Often compared to Red Grange, another famous “Red.” Christian Keener Cagle, will get a chance to play on Grange's own stamping grounds, when 'he leads the Army team to the University of Illinois stadium, Nov. 9. Cagle's hair is redder and he is a trifle faster, but not more eel-like than Grange was in negotiating a path through a broken field. But Bob Zuppke, Grange’s coach, who saw Cagle play against Stanford last season, does not believe that the cadet is as fast as Grange, but thinks he can gain through smaller openings.

George Lott Slated for Contest With Hall of New Jersey. BARNES TAKES ON BELL Tilden, Hunter and Others Rest for Day. BY WILLIAM DUNN United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 9. Intermittent thundershowers which fell throughout the night ancf moaning threatened fourteen secondround matches in the men’s national singles championships at the West Side Tennis Club tod^y. These fourteen matches, if completed on schedule, would reduce to thirty-two the field of ninety players which started the tournament Saturday. First and second-round matches played on that day reduced the list of contenders to forty-seven. Shields Wins Sunday Sunday Frank Shields of New York beat Kenneth Appel of East Orange, N. J.. 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, in a postponed match to lower the number to forty-six. The feature match of today’s scheduled program was that between George Lott of Chicago and ■l. Gilbert Hall of Orange, N. J. Lott, although a heavy favorite, was expected to encounter some very good tennis from his opponent. Two Texans. Bruce Barnes and Berkeley Bell, were among the other featured opponents of the day. Much interested accrued to Bell, since he was named among the seeded American players in place of Wilmer Allison, a third Texan, who starred on the Davis cup team. Mercur Meets Collegian Fritz Mercur, Lehigh university star, and Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines, la., were opposed in a third second-round match that promised action. Allison. Dr. George King of New York and H. W. (Bunny) Austin of Great Britain were other first rankers facing second round matches today, but their opponents seemed hardly formidable. William Tilden, Frank Hunter, John Van Ryn and others highly noted for their prowess on the courts rested today, awaiting the completion of the early brackets and Tuesday’s matches. Three Favorites Tilden continued the favorite, with Lott and Hunter second choices with most of the spectators. Big Bill, especially, showed his determination to regain his former title, when he scored his straight set victory over Donald Strachan, a former protege, on Saturday." He was clearly in a winning mood and showed his younger opponent no mercy. Returning to the press and officials’ posts after the match Tilden was asked his score bygone of the newspaper men. “It was 6-2, 6-1, 6-0,” he retorted grimly, “and don’t any of you fellows say I wasn’t trying today!”
