wonder of the year, yet the Sena
tors' crack hurler has not been as
successful as the Boston marvel.
The following averages, which in

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
aid, of New York, last year’s winners,
in a four-set match on the Casino
couits. 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 recent
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 scoring almost as mans
places as McLoughlin,
Os the sixteen matches played in the
singles tournamept 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 Joe Agler. The
national commission has not yet noti
fied the local directors whether or not
the Cubs are going to recall the crack
first sacker.
Harold Johns will be back with the
Crackers in the spring. He was simply
loaned to the Billikens for the season
ami the local directors have recalled
him.
The report that "Piggy" Paige may
be recalled is without foundation. Paige
is the out-and-out property of Mont
gomery and Atlanta has absolutely nu
claim on his services.

CRACKERS GOME
ffltt TO EARTH;
BEATBARONS
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 eighth inning,
with Dllger perched on the third
hassock and two down. Carroll took
a vicious swijig 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 load.
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.
Callahan, who possesses a loan
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.
