Dr. Deisms then played Young, winning easily in the firrt set. In the second, however. Young took an unexpected brace and with the games 3-1 against him fought a good battle until he made it deuce games In the set. DeLong then took the next two games and the match on a deuce game.

With their cars in Capitol park ready for the start tomorrow, the Gliddenites are resting tonight after a day of strenuous entertainment. The visiting motorists started early this morning for a trip over the Georgetown loop and up Mount Clelian, one of the finest scenic routes near Denver, which took them Into the heart of the Rockies. A special train was provided for the Glidden guests, who, after days of travel over the hot plains, enJoyed the novelty of snowballing each other on the top of the high mountain peaks, where the air was cold and bracing. The party returned to Denver at 6:30 and ended the day with, a luncheon served at the Denver Motor club. Seven hundred and fifty-one miles still remain to be covered by the Glidden cars before reaching Kansas City, where the tour disbands. Thirteen cars start the final lap with perfect scores, but the hard travel remaining will un Frank C. Williams did the star act in the bi-weekly shoot of the Hammond Gun club at Sharpshooters' park last Sunday afternoon, when he hit fortyeight birds out of a possible fifty. His brother, Charles William, however, was a close second with forty-six points. The entertaining feature of the shoot was the spirited contest between William Friedley and Stephen Terry. Frledley scored all of twenty points, thus nosing out his desperate competitor by two points. The results of the shoot were as follows: F. C. Williams 48 C. Williams 46 W. Sehrum 44 F. Hammond 41 M.

In the feature match of the western tennis tournament at Onwentsia yesterday. Watdner's easy victory was a complete surprise. The scores wore 6-1, 6-0. Morley was away off form and did not have control of his strokes, while Waidner played a hard and steady game. Morley, after his showing in the Illinois state tournament, was looked on to give Waidner a hard fight.

Goodnow lis,! little trouble in disposing of G. S. Widholm and Img. Widnolm is improving in form, however, and towards the end of the tournament may be expected to win a few of his games. Long showed unexpected ability In the first set against Goodnow, but in the second let him down without as strong a ngnt. uoodnow played a steady game throughout. Games have been scheduled for ev ery night during this week, and much interest is being aroused in the matches. There will be about fifteen active participants in the tournament and the results will be decided upon percentage rather than by elimination. The drawings are: Thursday- Hunter and Boyd; Frost and McN'ally; Parry and Woods. Friday Griffin and Fitzgrerald ; Parry and Kellar; Heavenrich and Faulds. Saturday Goodnow and Fitzgerald; Ir.

At Kansas City the technical committee will take the cars in hand and the final standing of the contestants will not be known until the result of this examination is annouced. Many of the cars which succeed in reaching Kansas City with perfect road scores will probably be penalized following this examination, which will be strict in accordance with the exacting rules in force this year. The schedule for two of the remaining four days' travel calls for long distances, 199 miles from Oakley to Sallna, and on the final run to Kansas City the cars must cover 212 miles. The distance to Hugo, tomorrow's run. is only 173 miles, which should prove eaf.y In view of the long distance of last week, but the days run promises to be a hard one, as the roads are reported to be exceptionally bad. From Hugo to Oakley, the second day's run from Denver, the schedule calls for only 165 miles. The route tomorrow will take the tourists through Littleton, Palmer Lake, Breed, Colorado Springs, Mattison and Limon. A two-hour sightseeing control will be established at Colorado Springs. The running time for tomorrow Is eight hours and fifteen minutes. The Kamradt Colts of West Hammond refused to play the Clark Station White Sox Sunday afternoon.

The cubs, to a man, are Impressed with th fact that it is up to the team to hustle from now on In order to brintr I a pennant again this year to Chicago, j but they are also confident they will be able to do this. Tliey refuse to regard Pittsburg as a serious obstacle in the 'way, as they think the pirates will colI lapse when the strain becomes tense in j the race tnrotign the stretch. There !? only one thing that would please thj cubs better than the way matters are j breaking now, and that would be to I have to play for the National leagu pennant. They ari absolutely confident that any time they tie up with the pirates, they will win most of the games.

PAPKE TO W FOR BEIMICIE GO Turns Down Offer to Meet Either Lewis or Burke in New York. Offers to fight before eastern boxing clubs came so thick and fast yesterday that Billy Papke, pride of Kewanee, was forced to announce, through his brother and manager, Edward, that he wouldn't meet anybody before the latter part of August or early in September. Efforts were made by Matchmaker F.illy Gibson of the Fairmont A. C ol New York to match the Kewanee mauler with either Sailor Hurke or Willie Lewis, the battle to be decided in about two weeks. But Papke turned down both of the offers. He assured tho eastern promoters, however, that he would consider fighting Burke or Lewis, but would not accept any definite engagement before the 15th of August. Papke was offered $2,500 for his end to meet either of the eastern boxers. "It's this way," explained Edward Papke last night. "I expect to receive an offer from Promoter Coffroth any day to meet Ketchel in a finish fight and I do not caro posting big forfeits for eastern fights and then be forced to crawl If the matches in order to get a return battle with Ketchel. "Ketchel is the man wo are after," he continued, "and the match can't be made any too soon to accommodate Billy. The public is anxious to see who is the better man and is clamoring for a finish contest between Billy and the Michigan man. Coffroth is trying to arrange the match, knowing it would be a better card than the proposed Ket-chcl-.Tohnson fight, and has instructed me not to make any important matches until the affair is settled."

SMITH AFTER RECORD Frank Smith, the present "iron man" of the white sox. Is out after the pitching record. He has his heart set on pitching In Just half the scheduled games, which is going some, even for the piano jugs-ler. Smith has confided to his friends tnat 'I Manager Sullivan will let him he will be willing to get into seventy-five games, as he is bound to make up this year for that little vacation of his last season, when he quit the team at a critical time in the race. The big pitcher has asserted that he was never better in his life than he is now, and not only is he willing to go Into any number of games asked of him, but he is ready to pitch full games out of his turn, every other day, if necessary. Smith Is one of the sox who thinks that the team has yet a chance for the pennant, and it won't be his fault if the south siders don't land the bunting. Smith has not said anything to Sullivan or Comiskey about his ambition, but has told friends that he was anxious to find out how much he could Ftand. He has no fear of his arm giving out, and is certain that he can pitch and win a goodly number of over seventy games. PAT DOUGHERTY IS NEAR DEATH Sox Outfielder Has Narrow Escape Yesterday. New York. July 27. The white sox came near losing the services of Pat Dougherty, the fleet-footed left fielder, this afternoon. Pat was a passenger on the Chicago express that got in here Just before 6 o'clock and was sleeping in the buffet smoker, right beside the open window, when a bending telegraph pole brushed against the train just after the latter had passed Tarrytown and tore the spark screens from the three first windows, hurling them into the smoker. One section three-quarters of an inch thick and about three feet long skimmed like a bullet by Dougherty's fn'-e, just missing his right eye. Had it struck Pat it would certainly have torn open his face and perhaps blinded him for life. DONLIN EXPECTS A BIG SALARY Mike Wants Grand Opera Income at Philadelphia. New York, July 27. Mike Donlin. the former New York National league player, reached this city today from Point Pleasant, N. J.
