JOE WOOD is the real pitching
sensation of the season. Walter
Johnson has been boosted by
every paper in the South as the real
wonder of the year, yet the Sena
tors’ crack hurler has not been as
successful as the Boston marvel.

MToughlin and Bundy
Win Title in Tennis
Doubles at Newport
NEWPORT, R. 1., Aug. 22.—The na
tional lawn tennis championship in
doubles was transferred from the East
to the far West for the first time, when
Maurice E. McLoughlin, of San Fran
cisco, and Thomas C. Bundy, of Los
Angeles, wrested the title from Ray
mond D. Little and Gustav F. Touch
ard, of New York, last year s winners,
in a four-set match on the Casino
courts. The scores of the match., which
was played before an eager crowd of
more than 2,000, were 3-6, 6-2. 6-1, 7-5.
The challengers were easily the mas
ters of the situation, although Bundy
was bothered somewhat in the first set
by the fusillade of shots which Little
and Touchard aimed at his side of the
court in the belief that he might not
have fully recovered from his i ecent
illness. But the little Californian
seemed to grow stronger as the match
went on, and by the middle of the sec
ond set he was s -oring almost as manj
places as McLoughlin.
Os the sixteen matches played in the
singles tournament yesterday, fifteen in
the fourth round and one in the third,
twelve were decided in straight sets.

AGLER HAS NOT BEEN
RECALLED YET BY CUBS
The Atlanta baseball club has heard
nothing to date about Joo Agler. Th<
national commission has not yet noti
fied th" local directors whether or not

first sacker.
Harold Johns will be back with the
Crackers in the spring. He was simple
loaned to the Billikens for the season

him.
The report that "Pigg?'” Paige may
be roealled is without foundation. Paige

BACK TO TO;
BEAT BABONS
Birmingham, ala.. Aug 22.
It was a happy lot of Crack-
ers who pulled out of here
for Montgomery. Not because they
set any worlds ablaze, but the fact
that they toppled the leading Ba
rons in the get-away contest of the
series brought smiles to their long
downcast faces. No, we are not
telling an untruth when we declare
the Atlantans beat Molesworth's
tribe yesterday; and the count was
4 to 3.
To Lyons should go the credit of
winning the game and to Bailey for
saving it. In the eightli inning,
with Diiger perched on the third
hassock and two down, Carroll took
a vicious swing and met one of
Brady’s straight balls. A line drive
in the center field grove resulted,
but Bailey made a wonderful catch
of the ball and kept the tail-enders
in the lead.
Lyons, whose hitting has been
noticeable on account of its ab
sence, hit through first and second
with Callahan on third base. At
the time of the swat the score was
tied.
Ellam had a big day in the field,
accepting nine chances without an
error and cutting off several run
ners at first by wonderful and ac
curate pegs.
< 'allahan, who possesses a lean
average of .245, fattened up yester
day. securing three singles to right
field. The Crackers stole bases at
will during the early innings, while
the Barons copped five off the
mighty arm of Ham Reynolds.
QUALIFY SATURDAY FOR
- DAVIS AND FREEMAN CUP
The handsome golf trophy offered by
Davis <K- Freeman, the well known local
jewelers, will be the next to be con
tested for by the golfers of the Atlanta
Athletic club.
The qualifying round of this tourna
ment is scheduled for next Saturday
and as many flights as fill will be
played.
This trophy, which is one of the larg.
est given each year, must be won three
times before becoming the property of
the winner.
The first and second rounds of match
play must be played by August 30, the
semi-finals by August 31 and the finals
by September 1.
