WHITE SOX, 3; TIGERS, 2.
CHICAGO, May 31.—The White Sox
won an eleven-Inning contest from
the Tigers here this afternoon 3 to 2.
Tyrus Cobb, as usual, made good,
not only on the bases, but In the field.
In lhe sixth, the "peach" singled and
went all the way to third on Vench’s
little single to left. Cobb robbed
the Sox of victory In the tenth when
with Selder on second and Rath on
first, both of whom had singled after
two were out, he raced hack into deep
right close to the foul line and speared
Fournier's drive that looked to be a
sure triple. Collins opened the
eleventh for the Sox by doubling and
was sacrificed to third by Shatter.
Mat tick popped a fly to Bush and
Collins scored the winning run on
Weaver’s clean single through short.
Zamboch, who pitched for Detroit,
granted eleven hits, and White, his
opponent, nine. The box score:
Chicago.

cide ail disputed cases arising in the
sport.
The Boxing Union will consist of

VIRGIL GARVIN TAUGHT
FALKENBERG FADEAWAY
CLEVELAND, O., May 31.—There
is no doubt - of Falkenberg owning
the best fadeaway'-delivery in *fie
American League. In fact there is a
question of Mathewson having th*>
fadeaway mastered better than Falk-
enberg. There • are no others in a
class with these two when it comes to
this particular brand of deceivers.
Fred was taught the famous fadeaway
by a rival -pitcher—Virgil Garvin, the
famous “Navascta Tarantulawh >
was once a member of the Brooklvn
club at the time Falkeriberg was with
the Pirates.
Griffith Declares
War on Ban Johnson
National’s Manager Says He Wants
No More to Do With
“That Fellow.”
WASHINGTON, May 31.—‘Tm
through with Ban Johnson. He may
know how to run the league, but he
xv Ill never cut in on the Washington
club as long as I am manager. If
there is any more correspondence be
tween Chicago and Washington It will
have to come from some one else, for
1 will have nothing moTe to do with
that fellow.”
With these words Clark Griffith last
night gave notice of an open breach
between himself and the president of
the American Leagne. It has -been
known for some'time that the rela
tions between -Johnson and tfre man
ager were none too pleasant, "but
w r hen word was received in Boston
from "Washington that Johnson
had notified President Ben Minor, of
the Nationals, of the reinstatement of
Nick Altrock, Griffith went on record
frt regard to~an‘absolute Tuptdre' with
Johnson.
Three times the chief of the Na
tionals asked Johnson to explain on
what grounds Altrock was barred,
and the manager expected-* that he
would receive a direct answer from
the executive.
* u He-has tried to butt in on us be
fore. but from now on you can take
it from me he can go his wav and we
will go ours/’ -continued Griffith. -"l
am trying to give Washington a win
ning'ban club, and* if Johnson thinks
that such petty stuff as he has -been
pulling can humiliate me *he is away
off his base. 1 have stood- for quite
a little of this small stuff before,
but from now t>n~be and I are not

Youthful Due and Hackett and

lenge Games.
N
EW YORK, May 31.—Another
thrilling and interesting chap
ter will doubtless be added to
the history of American lawn tennis
when America met6 Australasia In
the preliminary tie for the Davis Cup
within a few days.. The clash of
racquets will take place on the courts
of the West Side Tennis Club, and,
regardless of the outcome, there will
be some rare exhibitions of the game.
Those who are hypercritically in
clined have figured out that we will
win the singles and that the Austra
lasians will be consoled with a brack
et in the doubles. It is within the
bounds of possibility that the whole
thing may result the other way
around.
America will be represented by
Maurice E. McLoughlin. Richard Nor
ris Williams, Harold H. Hackett and
Raymond D. Little, while the hopes
of the Southern Cross will rest on
Stanley Norwood Dous't, Horace O.
Rice and A. B. Jones.
Evidently it will be young Amerjca
against. Australasia, for Mcloughlln is
a year younger. Last y-ear the pair
were Nos. 1 and 2 in the singles
rating, a piece of calculation which
nobody questioned.
McLoughlin Old in Game.
Though young in years, McLoughlin
is old enough in the battle for the
Davis cup. Already he has been twice
to Australia in quest of the mug. The
last time the titian-haired Californian
figured in the fray was at Christ
Church, New Zealand, and the match
he played in singles against Norman
E. Brooks, regarded as the greatest
of tennis players, will stand out for
all time in the annals of the Davis
eup. — .
At one stage of the game McLough
lin had the left-handed wonder in the
rear by two -sets to one, and when it
was> sets all, the American boy led for
the deciding game, but he lacked the
steadiness at the crucial moment, and
Brooks just scatched out a victory.
As he squares off on. the court the
California boy is a quiet, unassuming
fellow, and immediately the audience
fs with him. A pleasant player to
look- at, but it Is the case of a lion
working in the fleecy skin of a lamb.
With h4. c * terriflo smash overhead, his
wonderful twist . service, his chop
strokes and his fierce aggrossivene&s
in volleying close to the net, the boy
from.the Pacific coast to-day is the
embodiment of wlmt might he regard
ed as the newest science of. tennis.
McLoughlin is» the present American
National champion, and it is note
worthy that he is the youngest man
who ever granted hrdlupuUfUtoiswa
Williams 1912 Sensation.
Williams was the sensation of the
1912 season, and ran McLoughlin hard
for first place. He was born at Gene
va, Switzerland, and for a time there
was some question about his eligi-
bility-as an American. But the United
States* National Lawn Tennis Asso
ciation decided that as long as he
was the son. of an American parent
he was entitled to take part in the
Davis cup battle. Williams is a Har
vard University man.
Williams learned tennis at the Cha
teau D’Oeux and other Swiss resorts.
During the seasons of 1906 and 1909
he virited California and saw a lot
of the tennis methods used by the
men from the Pacific coast. There
he learned his screw service and the
chop stroke, of which, he. is not a
very bright exponent. Williams is
a survivor from the ill-fated Titanic.
- Hackett and Little are old cam
paigners in the tennis w'orld, and they
are expected to*be “more or less of
a .joka in the--doubles,- Paired with
F. B.' Alexander Hackett did graat I
work in the. -national double -of-the i
past, and when Little had Touchard !
aa a partner he became -a champion '
for the-first time in his long career.
Of the Australians. Doust seems to
be worth tho highest rating. He is
most effective-as-a doubles player,
and it is understood that he has come
specially to double up with either
ftiee or Jones. Dust L> a champion
sprinter and a stayer.
Willie Ritchie, world's lightweight
champion, will defend his title on
Julj/ //. In the following article, writ
ten especially for the Sunday Ameri
can, In' tells just what he will do be
tween now and the time of the fight.
By AVillie Ritchie.
T RAINING for a contest is a very
important matter. I have learn
ed that condition is half a bat
tle. Therefore, one cannot give this
subject any too much consideration.
For a championship contest, at least
six weeks is needed to perfect one’s
wind.
July 4 will be the date of my
next contest. Beginning in Seattle, 1
will take my road runs regularly
every morning. In the afternoons and
evenings, at the theater, I will get
all the gymnastic work necessary in
doing my turn on the stage, which
consists of boxing and other gymna
sium work.
Keeping regular hours, doing your
routine work regularly, is one of the
‘•trlctest rules of my manager, Billy
Nolan, who is a past master in the
conditioning of athletes. Never can
I forget the superb condition he land
ed me in the ring when Wolgast lost
his title on Thanksgiving Day.
• * *
VIOLAN is a crank on training, and
' watches and times every move
you make from the time you get up
until bedtime. Regularity is hie mot
to.
Food is an important element in
a training camp. No greasy or high
ly seasoned foods are permitted.
Cakes, pastry or fried meats and
fresh bread or biscuits are barred
during training periods. So from
now on my next three weeks on the
road will be in strict training.
After my week in Portland, or
which ends June 2, I will lose no
time getting to California, where we
will go up in the mountains of Lake
County, to my manager’s ranch. My
sleeping is done out in the open air;
my companions are the saddle horse
and hunting dog. This is the one
place to rest, and for two tveeks it
will be rest, while L will have plenty
of exercise, it will be so different
from the kind I have had to go
through for the last seven months.
Everything is different—the foods of
the coarsest variety. Practically
everything that is eaten comes off
the 1,200-acre ranch.
* * *
TNURING my stay all of the meat
^ and fish that I eat will be of the
game variety, as it is no particular
effort for me to catch a mess of trout
any time or shoot game or birds on
the ranch, where Nolan maintains a
preserve.
My greatest benefits are derived
from being in the open air at all
times. Think of it—sleeping, eating
and being in the open air ail hours
of the day.
If necessity demands weight re
ducing, the greatest weight-reducing
exercise and appliances in the world
are on the farm. A large hay barn,
capable of holding several tons of
loose hay, and a couple of good forks
comprise the paraphernalia necessa
ry in this rural gymnasium. Once
you take your stand in the center of
the hay that is being forked to you,
perspiration will come from every
pour of your body. I have tried it,
and no Turkish bath produces quick
er or better reults. June is the
month that the stock barns must be
filled. If you want the sweat, you
know the place to get it.
I am counting the idays that will
land me in Lake County. This is
where my heavy and actual training
took place for my championship bat
tle with Wolgast. Just a few weeks
there will enable me to be in the
best possible shape for my next bat
tle, on July 4.
