The first tallies were registered. In the second, when Downey led off the Inning with a walk, was singled to second by McLarren, both advancing when Roche took care of Flannery's bounder, retiring the latter at flrnt, O'lxrae then tightened up and struct! out Robinson, and the inning looked to be a scoreless one, when Thompson drove a sharp-hit ball at Fol- llard, which should have been an easy play tor the latter. The ball, struck a small stone and bounded high over the shortstop's head, Downey scoring. Mulroe made a pretty throw to the plate to nip McLarren. H.

Miller put the ball on the runner and. then dropped It. Holy Name put Jts only run across in the third frame, when Slgourney a bad throw of N. Miller's easy chance, the latter jroJnff to second and scoring 1 on H. Miller's long double over Planner's head.

Aug. opening: matches In the challenge round of the thirteenth contest for the Davla tennis cup, emblematic of the world's team championship, will be played at the courts ot the West Side Club, Forest Hills, Long Island, tomorrow afternoon. The Australasian team, consisting of Norman E. Brookes, Anthony F. Wilding.

Stanley N. Doust, A. W. Dunlop, will play in the role of challengers, and the United States team, composeo: of Maurice E. McLoughlln.

R. Morris Williams 2d, Thomas C. Bundy, and Karl Behr, as defenders of the trophy, won from England at Wimbledon last year. Play Singles Today. The draw for matches will bring together Williams and Wilding in the opening match at singles at 2 p.

m. When this contest Is completed, McLoughlln and Brookes will take the court for the second singles of the day. Friday, Wilding and Brookes will meet the Americans In the doubles.match, and Saturday will see the singles players meeting the opponents that their teammates play tomorrow. The possession of the cup will be decided by the nation which flrst wins three of the five matches that compose the three-day playing program, Elaborate preparations have been made for the handling of both players and spectators at the matches. The special stretch of turf, which has been reserved for the cup play Is in excellent condition.

Temporary stands to accommodate 12,000 spectators have been erected, and all the seats have been sold. Speculation on the outcome of the matches indicates that the challenging team is favored to win the cup donated by Dwigbt Davis, of St. Louis. In 1900, as an international challenge trophy. Mc- Loughlln is the chief hope of the American team, but Williams Is not unlikely to prove the key that turns to victory or defeat.

Tennis experts agree that McLoughlin and Williams between them must win three of the lour singles matches, since Brookes and Wilding are topheavy favorites foi; the doubles. Doubles Pair Uncertain, Uncertainty prevails at the eleventh hour in United States tennis circles as to the maJce-up of the American doubles team. It is understood that McLoughlin favors the playing, of Bundy, who, with himself, holds the national doubles title. Many tennis officials, however, prefer MoLaughlin and Behr. believing the.

letter would prove a stronger partner for McLoughlin than Bundy, who has not shown the form this year that has marked his play in previous seasons. SLOTTPEDS IN ONE UTNINQ. Roche. 4 O'Lone. Mulroe, 4 3 Roberts.

TRADES FOUR NATIONALS FOR MILLERS' BACKSTOP Names of Those to Go for Rondeau Not Stated by Manager Griffith Ayers to Pitch Opener of Series With Athletics Today. BY STANLEY T. MILLIKEY. Philadelphia, Aug. Rondeau, Minneapolis catcher and outfielder, according to reports, has been secured by the Washington baseball club.

Manager Griffith refused to state tonight the facts of tile case, but admitted that he had been dickering for the services of this player. It is believed that owing to the possibility of a hitch in the negotiations the deal had been kept a secret. In exchange for Rondeau the Minneapolis club will get four of the local players, as yet unnamed. These players who are to go must be satisfactory to the Minneapolis management. Just who Griffith will turn over to the Millers is problematical at the present time.

Pitchers will most likely be involved in the transaction, and perhaps some extra infielders on whom Griffith has a string. Kondeau! It will be recalled, once backstopped for Detroit, having sons to Minneapolis from that club last season. He IB a good hitter, fast, and a fair receiver. Rondeau will in all probability Join the local forces at the close of the American Association season. Manager Griffith and the majority of his trusty band of warriors were a tired lot when they stepped off the train at 8:30 last evening.

The players have been constantly on the move since their departure from Chicago. The game at Marttnsburg In a drizzling rain had Its II! effects on them, and the trip last night was anything but Welcome. When the team awoke this morning It was greeted with a dull sky, which threatened every moment to open Its pores. Rain finally began falling at 10 o'clock, and by game time the diamond was a sea of mud. So the exhibition with Frederick was called off, and the players boarded a train at 2:05 for Philadelphia.

The Nationals were treated royally In both Martlngburer and Fraderlck. Nothing was too good for them, and Manager Griffith declared that if there Is another open date on his schedule, whether It be this year or next, these two hamlets will have the first call. Griffith's clan is about to engage in three Important battles, on which perhaps hinges the American League pennant. At Shibe park this afternoon Dr. Wyatt Ayers.

'the Hlllsville M. will face the tribe of Mack in the first of these series of diamond encounters. Ayers Is In wonderful form now. He has been Griffith's mainstay on the slab during this unsatisfactory road trip, and but for him the team would have a smaller percentage than it 'has this morning. The Athletics have always been the Nationals' most stubborn foe.

It Is said that the Athletics have remarked that all they have to do Is to toss a elove on the Held and the Nationals are beaten. From past performances one might be led to believe this. It la not that the Nationals lie down on their Jobs when they meet the Mackmen. It Is Just the opposite. Griffith's forces battle harder against tills team than any In the league, but the scores do not show It.

The whole truth of the matter Is this: NAPS GAIN A VICTORY BY TIMELY CLOUTING Hits With White Sox Misplays, Taking Final of Series, 5 to 3. Chicago, Aug. errors and Cleveland's opportune hitting gave the latter the final game of the series today, 5 to 3. A one-handed catch of a long: fly by Demmitt was the feature of the game.

The Mackmen were victorious on fourteen occasions during their 'recent Western invasion. But two games -were lost. Now the Athletics will enjoy a s.tay at home for some time, and they jshould do almost well. It looks as it all bets can be cashed as to the winner of the American League pennant for 1914.

"Rippy" Williams, the Nationals' hard- hitting catcher, was Joined in Frederick by his wife and Miss Clarke. Griffith sent Williams to Washington, with the express purpose of having him corral Alnsmlth and bring him to Philadelphia at once. Griffith expects that Ban Johnson, president of the American League, will re- Instate Alnsmlth 'by tomorrow. It Aln- smith is restored to good standing ha will most likely be behind tha Plata when Johnson opposes the Athletics. Griffith will Jse Johnson on Friday against the Mackmen, and most likely Boehllng on Saturday.

The exhibition game at Bayonne, N. set for Sunday, has been called off. so the Nationals will rest on the Sabbath. Maok will be well fortified with pitchers when his team facetf the Nationals. He has all of his staff ready, including the veterans Plank and Bender.

These games are sure to be hard fought. It may be tha Nationals' last stand before Waterloo. Another pitcher has been added to the staff of the Nationals in the person of Harry Stevens, who has been working for tha Hagerstown team of the Triclty League this year. Stevens originally hailed from St. John's College, of Annapolis.

He Is a big right-hander, with plenty of speed. Qrifflth kept the signing of this player a secret, but It leaked out on the recent visit to Frederick.

PltUbnrgh at Caleavo. Brooklyn at 81. Lonla. at It will be interesting to see how Maurice McLoughlin hurdles the old Indian sign which the two Australasian entries have established in front of his career. He has never beaten either in a match.

But he was younger then than he is today. And so were they, which operates with double value when It is considered that the Californian is still short ot and his two rivals are at least ten years older. Better clubs than the Giants of 19H haVe slipped up in their ambition to be four-time winners. Do you know there hasn't been a Jour-time winner in major league baseball since Charley Comiskeye St. teams won the old American Association pennant in 1885, 1S86, 1S87, and 1888? No National or American league has had this distinction, but the Bostons of 1872, 1873, 1874.

ana 1875 were four-time winners Just prior to the formation of the National League. The Boston team of 1875 did not lose a game that season on the home) grounds. John MeQraw is now certain in his own mind that his team will be returned four- time winners, and a reason, but McGraw was a member of the Baltimore team of 1897, a greater club by far than the New Torks of 1914, and he and his mates were so confident of winning the pennant for the fourth straight time that It was said, they had posters printed preparatory for a tour to the Pacific coast, styling themselves as four-time winners. Then It was Hugh Duffy and his Boston team that put a crimp In the ambition of McGraw and his cohorts. Can George Stalling and his Braves do likewise in this year 1914? Packey McFariand isn't at all peeved about Freddy Welsh being the lightweight champ.

The fact that "Welsh won the title over Willie Ritchie gives Packey a chance to crow a bit himself. McFariand won a twenty-round decision over Welsh in London on Decoration 1910. He also fought a draw with Welsh, in 1908 In 25 rounds. All of which would make It appear that Packey has something on Freddy as a skillful boxer, and that he could wltn a grreat deal of truth lay claim to being the lightweight champ himself If 'he were a little lighter. America's International sporting bumps have been many tnle season, but one line of endeavor Is sure to net a.

reward for the United States--that's the coming international billiard championship between Willie Hoppe and Melbourne Inman. No Briton can hope to meet Hoppe. the unbeaten holder of three cue titles at his own- same, in this country; but there ib a chance that Hoppe will master the simpler details of tne British pastime and defeat Inman even at his own speciality, the English form of pocket billiards. H'oppe's chiet worry is not coming from foreign sources, however. The only player in sight who offers even a remote possibility of besting Willie at balk line is Welker Cochrane, a 16-year-old Manson, boy, who boasts performances guile as remarkable as those of Hoppe when he was the same age.

That's some statement when one considers that Hoppe went to Prance at the age of 17 and defeated Maurice Vigneaux for the world's championship. Cochrane is credited with a fine temperament and as being the sort who does his best in the Pinch. It will take that kind to beat Hoppe.
