WHITING V TENNIS TOURNEY ENDS 5*0000000000000000000000000000 OS Jack O’Brien Will Meet Sam Berger Next Monday Dr Private I-eased Wirt. Philadelphia, Pa., July 9.—That thaw la going to bt a rtal fight whan "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien and 8am Berger meet In the ring of the National Athletic Club next Monday night la aura. Everything proven thin. The men are training an hard aa they know bow, are already In ahape, nnd each la poaltlve that he will knock the other'a block off. Of courae, O'Brien, confident an a cham pion ohould In, ncoffa at the Idea of fall ing before Berger, Imt the enant boy haa weight and lota of atrength, and a wallop that doee damage every time it landa. Added to Berger's accompllahmenta la con fidence In hla ability to lick the world. O'llrleo la In training here, and la an buay aa a fighter ever wan. He la not taking any chancnn, nnd la far from un dercut! mating hla opponent. While he lookn on Berger aa a aure victim, he tralna aa though be were going to meet Jeffriea, figuring that It la a lot better to bo ready for anything In the surprise package lino that may be handed out to blui. lie real- taea that with Berger It la do or die, and that he trill fight with deaperatlon, for the fight meana everything to him If he can win. To O'Brien, victory doea not mean anywhere near aa much, but defeat meana the end of hla ring career. In a talk today, O'Brien had the fol lowing to aay: "You can take It from me that 1 am rendy to fight my beat battle. 1 liave never been accused of being foolish. Home peo ple aay 1 never made a match that I can not win, but that la rot. I am In the game to win, for there ts more money In wlunlng than losing. It's the money 1 am after. "This Berger haa a lot of weight on me, and that counts. For that reason, I am training aa hard as I know how. Then friends tell me the kid Is fast. That Is another advantage. But 1 am sure he will have to weigh a ton, and be as fast as chain lightning, to Itcat me, and I guess he Is not up to those specifications. "Then the bout Is to go but six rounds, nnd I am naturally looking for a terrific fight." Diamond Dope—That’s All Shreveport and New Orleans went a dosen Innings Haturday before a decision.could l>e reached. Just as darkness had almost made the tmll Invisible, Manuel made a long hit and won the game. Mighty eaay thing to switch the ball In the dark that way. Those games with Little Rock on which Charley Babb was counting to seud him flying pennnntward are not helping aa much as he must have thought. Haturday the Bluffers dropped two in succession to tho Travelers, and Hunday It took Llebbardt and a shower of rain to pull the Mem phis bunch through to victory. What Is the matter with the Houth At lantic? Rows are becoming an every-day occurrence, and disgraceful scenes are al together too common. * With the dead wood cot out of the Gear- gla Hints League It looks as though that plucky organisation ought to last the son out The fresh crop of American league bat ting averages show that the ex-Houthern League players are still holding up their end. "Nig" t.'larke, once of Atlanta and uow with Cleveland, la fifth In the league, with a per cent of .343. Only Elberfeld, Htone. the mighty Lajnle and Chase are ahead of him. Dygert, last year'a spit ball wonder, Is up with the elect, with an average of .331. Rohe. with New Orleans last year. Is aafely altovo the .360 mark, while llann, who la batting .343, Is not so fnr below It. Koehler, of 8t. Louis, and Dolehanty, of New York, are anchored at the .333 mark, nnd Niles, who was the bat • great —. — „—. C. Smith are even lower. Both are moored at the .212 buoy. Cobb, now with Detroit, an average of .319 to hla credit. That Hhreveport team Is an awful prop osition, and It will take mighty baseball to put Rob Gllka' men out of the run ning. STOP.

ATLANTA PLAYERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOUBLES The Southern tennla championship came to an end Saturday afternoon at East Lake with the playing of the final rounds In the doubles, consolation and women's singles. The doubles championship of the Houth went finally to Grant and Thornton, the Atlanta team, but only after five of aa hard- fought seta ns local tennla enthusiasts have ever seen. Hunt and Lee, the University of Mlchlgnn team, had evidently studied the game of tho local players, and learned the -ob vious fact there wna little chance of lM*at- Ing them by a "slamming" game. Ho they studied out a defensive game, which con sisted mostly of lobs. They made few at tempts to take the net, but settled Into the tuick of the conrt and put every ball that came their way high.In the air. Thla game of Incessant loin waa some thing of a novelty to the local team, and It nearly accomplished their downfall. The Atlantans won the first act 6-2, byt they dropped the next one by the sauio score, and the third one 34. With the seta 2 to 1 against them. Grant and Thornton went ou the defensive themselves, and more careful ly played games have seldom lioen seen In Atlanta. Both aldca played safe as far as possible, and almost every point stretched over a considerable length of time. After the local team began to get familiar with the lobbing game, they took things Into their own hands, and won the fourth set 6-3 and the fifth 6-2. This gave them tho match, the title and the pos session of the two handsome cups, for Da vidson and Glaxebronk did not defend, and the challenge round weut to the local team by default. Heguln won the consolation round In Tenth Annual Excursion City Salesmen’s Association To Georgia’s Celebrated Coast Resort and the South’s most splendid Sea Shore, Tvbec Island.
