THIS seems to be a grand year for tennis come-backs. The names of Thornton, Wil liams, Scott, which haven't been ringing very loud or clear in the tournaments of the recent past, are on every man’s lips now and the winners of this year’s tourna-* ments are likely to be drawn from the ranks of the local veterans This state of affairs became even more apparent as a result of the matches played at East Lake late yesterday afternoon and this morn ing. Play was started right after breakfast and Referee Reynolds kept the players going full tilt al! the morning The best progress was made in the women’s singles The results of the matches played this morning follow: Men's Singles, First Round. Carter defeated Cowan, 6-3, 7-5. Men’s Singles, Second Round. Williams defeated Spratllng, 6-1. 6-1. Scott defeated Hochendale, 6-2. 6-3 Grant defeated V. Smith.. 6-1, 6-2.

Women's Singles, Preliminary Mrs Taylor defeated Mrs. New ell by default Mrs. Milan defeated Miss Caro line Muse, by default. Miss Ellen Perry defeated Miss Mary Traylor, 6-0, 6-0 Mrs. Seymour defeated Mrs. Bowman, 6-1. 6-0. Miss Jones defeated Miss Con nally. 6-1. 6-2 Miss Hildreth Smith defeated Miss Dunson. 6-2, 6-1 The ladles’ matches were run off with businesslike precision and It It rained Monday afternoon and crabbed al! the matches save one. It rained Tuesday afternoon and put most of the play on the blink. Now. so the players say, if i« set to rain every day al! the week, be ginning at 3 o’clock, which will be messy beyond words. If this sort of weather keeps up, it will be necessary to put in every minute of sunshine tn order to get the affair finished by Saturday. Fortunately, the entry list is not over large, and if "they give Referee Prank Reynolds half a chance he will finish on schedule time if he sprains his disposition tn the at tempt. • • • IT lookt like a great year for the Atlanta players There seems to be nobody in sight who can stop Nat Thornton in the singles or Thornton and Carleton Smith in the doubles There are plenty who are close enough in ability to make these favorites go tbeir limit, 'but they ought to cop if Thornton and Smith win the doubles and are sent to Chicago for the national doubles elimination, they will show the Northerners the most brilliant tennis team that ever came out of the South That Smith - Thornton combina will not take long to run off the affair if such progress continues Miss Murphy, of New Orleans, will come to Atlanta to defend her title.

Becker to Make His Debut in Cracker Togs This Afternoon BUCK BECKER, the Crackers' new hurler from Washing ton, Is carded to do the twirling at Poncy park this after noon. He will probably be opposed by Campbell. Becker has been working out for the past few days and thts morning Informed Mana ger Hemphill that he was ready to decorate the mound with his pres ence. The genial Mlque Finn and his Sea Gulls drew’ an even break with Hemphill’s players in yesterday's double-header. The first game was safely- tucked away for Atlanta when six hits and some weird plays let five runs across for the locals. The final score of the game was 8 to 5. Mo bile appeared to have taken a no tion to cross the plate in the sec ond game and finally won out, 9 to 1, without failing to tally at least one run in each of the five in nings that could be played before darkness set in. Here and there bright spots crept into the two games, but on a whole they were slower than the Baltimore convention and certainly not as exciting not by one-six teenth. Rudderham and Hart, officiating umpires, appeared to have the same spirit that the players did. and time and again let batters de lay things by a long wait before coming to the plate. When play finally started after the batter was up the going was just as slow, and the first game, which started at 2:30 o'clock, dragged out until nearly 5, making it impossible to get through with more than five innings of the second contest. Sitton and Berger Wild. Sitton and Berger were both,wild in the start of their game, but Sit ton managed to find himself before the game went very far Berger kept using the spitball and confus ing Catcher Dunn, who has not been accustomed to receive him. until Dunn found It almost Impos sible to hold the ball after it bumped into his mitt As a result, and also because of their willing ness to take a chance. seven Crackers chalked up stolen bases to their credit and Dunn’s dis credit. In the second game Manager Hemphill decided to try out "Jack" Coombs, and gave the ambitious lad two innings of twirling for At- lanta/ Coombs was too shaky to pitch, and after four Gulls had scored on him. Tommy- Atkins took his place. Atkins was little bet ter and the Mobile runs continued to pile up Atkins’ first act was to walk his old team-mate. O’Dell, and then Jacobsen followed with a triple that chased Hemphill far into his back territory. Laudermilk Off Bad. Laudermilk, tossing for the Mo bile team, tightened up after one inning and refused to allow any more runs, and while the Gulls were piling up a total of nine runs in their five innings, Atlanta- had to be content with the single tally received in the first inning. Only- by bumping the ball against the ribs of Callahan, Bailey and Harbison in the first inning did Laudermilk show any intention of tossing away his chance of win ning, but he soon recovered from a desire to put the opposing players out of the game by breaking their slats, and let them take their chances of hitting his offerings. Only three of them got near enough to the plate after’that in ning to get a safe hit and the gen tleman with the Dutch name was credited with a win. CHAMPION COULON HAS A CINCH WITH WAGNER NEry 5 ORK. Tub 3—The bantamweight champion, Johnny Coulon, of Chicago completely outclassed a local bantam, in a ten-round bout here. With the possible exception of the second relief Wagner was badly beaten. Conlon’s blows were mainly left hooks to the face and right uppercuts. Wagner he’d on and what blows he attempted were generally wild. In the second round on.e of his right hooks, however, cut Cou lon's eye. CYCLISTS PLAN LONG RELAY NEW IORK. July 3.—Probably an ocean-to-ocean motorcycle relay will get the attention of all motorcyclists a little later in the summer Motorcy cles have made the trip from coast to coast many times.. The plan would be to have relays consisting of at least three riders, so that in event of delay to one a message could go forward promptly with the other two. The re lay stations would be from 50 to 100 miles apart, a distance that could be covered at top speed. Motorcycle clubs are being asked for their opinion.
