Hackett. the national doubles champions, appear destined to continue holding the title because of their straight set victory over the challenging pair of Pacific coast champions. George Jane;? a-id Maurice McLaughlin, yesterday at White Plains. Alexander and Hackett won, 6 1, 6 4. Never before in lawn tennis history has the pair of challengers met the holders of the championship previous to the opening contest of the all-comers national tournament at Newport. There was a buzzing of appreciation when Alexander opened with the service. At once his short game became effective and his accurate vo'leys anil half volleys found certain openings through the court of the Pacific coast pair. Hackett was not the victim of his partner's coaching, as had been the case last week in the New York state championship at Bay Ridge. So Hackett was left to play his splendid tack court game in support of Alexander, occasionally spurting up to the nei for a slashing drive when the opportunity afforded. June as Wedding Month. The popularity of June as a wedding month may be traced to the fact that, game and fish being plentiful in summer, it was then that our progenitors naturally turned their thoughts to ajairs matrimonial, exactly as a young man of to-day waits for an increase of salary before plunging into marriage.

6ERGER CO CLOSE JEFFRIES Champion Will Wait Till Wednesday Night for Conference. New York, Aug. 10. Sam Berger, the other end of the Jeffries combination, dropped in last night and Sam lost no time with: "I have just received a wire from Chicago informing me that Johnson was there in a mood which evidently meant that Johnson wasn't so strong in his belief that Jim was really going to meet him. "I will hop out to Chicago Wednesday or Thursday and I will pin Mr. Johnson to some understanding. Jeffries has been given the worst of it by this fellow, and we don't propose to stand for any more of It. I will make every fair attempt to arrange final terms. "Such little matters as money, purse, side bets and all that should be very easy as Jeff is prepared to let Johneon have much of his own way in the matter. Why, he may not even force the $10,000 side bet for that matter, if Johnson fears to meet him along those lines. The thing that keeps promoters from bidding for the match is the air of uncertainty that surrounds the present state of affairs. "Once I see Johnson, and I intend to head him off before he leaves for California, I will prove to the public that it Is Johnson and not Jeffries who is holding up this thing. He means business and we will now take the initiative and go see Mr. Johnson. He has been promising to come to us for so long that we have come to the conclusion that he does not want a fight with Jeff. We will stand for the humbling part of the thing and meet Mr. Johnson in Chicago Wednesday or Thursday. Then you'll see." BELL RINGS CURTAIN ON GUBSSTREAK, 2-0 Brooklyn Pitcher Again Humbles Overall, Giving Champions Two Hits. "JEFF'S" PASSES ARE COSTLY Visitors Score When Big West Siders Grants Tickets During Box Tussle. History repeated itself yesterday In game No. 3 of the cubs-dodgers' engagement when Giant Bell pitching magnificently humbled Giant Overall and cracked the champions' winning streak, 2 to 0. A similar fate befell the West Siders with "Jeff' on the mound three weeks ago at Brooklyn park. On that occasion the big Bell pealed some death melody for the titled hopes. In yesterday's tussle the ponderous easterner heaving like a master easily flogged Chance's troup, allowing but two hits. It was a hurling duel all the way and to Overall's wildness alone can be assigned the full burden of the defeat. A pass starting the second round blended in timely fashion with a rousing single for the first count of the gayety while another ticket and a wild pitch in the eighth merely added to the total in the Brooklyn run column. With the Lumleyites two tallies to the good Chance yanked "JefT" hoping to starting a clugging fest in the eighth, but the scheme fell flat. Higginbotham tolled in the final session and held the enemy at arm's length. Overall loomed up like the pitching whale of ye olde days when the fracas started. He had all his vaunted speed, fair control and his fast breaking curve ball threatened to baffle the dodgers. Just a bit of danger lurked in the Initial round when with one down the, speedy Mr. Clement slammed a fly to left, and Sheckard misjudging the ball permitted the runner to reach third on the hit. Here Overall settled and fan ned the next slugger while the third out was easily accomplished when Alperman hoisted a sky-drive to Hofman. ANOTHER ROAR FROM CLARK STA. Clark Station. Ind., Aug. 10. The Clark Station White Sox lost to the Ross Giants in a game that was a Joydampener to all who witnessed it. The White Sox would have won If they would have only played the team and not the umpire.

- JOHNSON MATCH Retired Champion's Manager Says He Will Force Jack to Show Hand. Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson returned yesterday from his automobile tour of Canada and when informed that Sam Berger was coming to Chicago to see him and close a match between him and Jeffries said: "I shall be delighted to see Mr. Berger. He will have to get here by 8 o'clock Wednesday night, however, as I am going to leave for San Francisco at that time. I am anxious to have this fight with Jeffries fixed. I have plenty of bids for the go, and all that I need now is Jeffrie' signature to a set of articles to make me happy." When asked if he woud discuss terms with Berger for the proposed fight Johnson said: "Surely, I'll talk matters over with him. I understand that Berger Is au thorized to sign articles for Jeffries. If that Is the case, Berger will do as wel las Jeff himself, only he will have to hurry." Johnson Is going to the coast for the purpose of taking on Jack O'Brien at Colma, Sept. 6, if he can secure satisfactory terms with Promoter Coffroth, who wants to put the champion on with O'Brien as a sort of advertisement for the Ketchel-Johnson fight, which Is to be staged Oct. 12. If he fails to get the O'Brien match, Johnson will remain in California and train for Ketchel. Johnson will be accompanied to California by his wife and his manager, George Little, and wife. SOX LOSE THREE Ifl ROi Pilgrims' Recruit Pitcher Hall, Takes Brilliant Game, 2 to 1. Boston. Aug. 10. Boston made It three straight from the white sox yesterday afternoon. Fred Lake trotted out a brand-new pitcher, fresh from the minors, named Hall, and rubbed It on the white sox to the tune of 2 to 1. The young pitcher acted like a veteran, however, and pitched In keeping with the other two games that the locals have won in the series. It was a pitchers' battle, with Jimmy Scott on the losing side of the argument this time. Jimmy pitched one of his exceptional games and if the team had been able to do any scoring behind him he would have won. A mighty wallop by "Heine" Wagner was the clinching argument in the battle. From a Boston standpoint It was as perfect a game as could have been played. The score stood a tie one run having been made by each team when the Boston men went to bat In the ninth Inning. $2,500 IS BID FOR PnCMCLOi GO Business Men Offer to Stage Battle Within an Hour's Ride of Chicago. Packey McFarland and Cyclone Johnny Thompson yesterday agreed on terms for a fight before the club offering the largest purse. Larney Lichtenstein, representing Thompson, and McFarland met and agreed on the weight for the go with little quibbling. McFarland asked that the poundage be fixed at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of the fight. To this Lichtenstein readily agreed. Promoters all over the country were wired that the match had been agreed upon and were asked to bid for the go. Kid Howard, representing a body of business men of a nearby city, was the first to make an offer. Last night he declared that he would pull off the fight within an hour's ride of Chicago and give the principals $2."j00 for a ten-round bout. He announced that he would make known the place for the fight and deposit one-fifth of the purse in a bank the day that Thompson and McFarland accepted the offer.

Customs officers here are awaiting instructions from the treasury department about a clause in the new tariff bill which involves the future of horse racing in Canada. The Canadiin tracks depend largely on American-owned thoroughbreds for their sport, and hitherto entries owned in the United States have passed free across the border and back again. Collector Dan iels, however, finds no provision In the new law for the re-entry free of duty of American horses entering Canada for exhibition or racing. His Interpretation Is that all returning live stock must pay full duties. Pending the arrival of advices from Washington several horses consigned to the Montreal track are held here.
