Eight Crack Net Stars Ready to Battle in
M - P e, Y
Fifth Round of Play—lnteresting Games
v
Yesterday.
BY JACK VEIOCK.
FOREST HILLS, L. L, Aug. 30.—The weather man threatened to halt
play in the national tennis games at West Side Tennis Club here today.
Leaden skies and a steady drizzle greeted the eighi crack players who
were ready to battle in the fifth round, and early in the day there was
little hope that any matches could be played.
With unly eight playvers remaining in the running for the title, interest
in the tournament reached a fever pitch and ihe iine-up for the fifth
round promises some of the hottest matches that ever have been
played on the courts of the West Side Club.
Upon the shoulders of the veteran,
Norman Brookes, rests the last hopeT
of the Austraiians. Brookes, who
came through the fourth round by
aefeating Charles 8. Garland, the
young Pittsburg star, was scheduledl
to meet Willlam Tilden, second,
Philadelphia, in the round before the
semi-finais.
The remaining matches in the fifth
round should be productive of some
of the best tennis seen in a national
tournament for yvears,
McLOUGHLIN VS, WILLIAMS,
The schedule will bring together
Maurice E. McLoughkn, the sandy -
thatched California comet, and R.
Norris Williams, second. These two
ex-champions last met in 1914 and
Williams came away the victor. Both
are playing a fast and consistent
game this season.
. Robert Lindley Murray, the na
tiohal champion, will have his hands
full when he faces William M. Johns
ton, conqueror of Gerald Patterson.
Jobnston's great playing in Friday's
match with Patterson is the one big
topic in tennis eircles today, and
there are many who believe that he
stands better than an even chance to
again annex the national title,
The fourta remaining match in the
fifth round will bring together Wal
lace F. Johnson and Walter Merrill
Hall. Though one of these players
s assured a place in the gemi-finkis
neither is considered fast enough to
carry off the champlonship.
PATTERSON BEATEN.
Gerald l. Patterson, the whirlwind
Australian tennis player, Wwas de
feated yesterday In his match with
William M. Johnston, the 1915 cham
pion, by 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
Johnston outspeeded and outma
neuvered the Anzac, Patterson, in the
first set. His ability to pass the big
Australian down the side lines and
to force openings for his cross courts
made it possible for him to win with |
his opponent always on the run. The
Pacific Coast star set a tremendous
pace in the first set of what many
belleved to have been the tourna
ment's criteal match, * Johnston
smashed through the Anzac's won
derful service and kept him sprinting
all over the rectangle to meet his
sizzling cross court strikes.
Patterson rallied gplendidly in the
second act, breaking through Johns
ton's service .and leading by one at
the end of the third game, Johnston
evened the game score in the next,
but managed to garner only one more
game in the set. The Californian ex
perienced some hard luck through
netting the ball in several at
tempts to kil it. He also tossed away
geveral points with cuts which his
previous accuracy led few to expect.

oo —
The third set started like the sec
ond, Patterson having two games to
one at the third and Johnston even
ing the score on the fourth, at two
all. The onlookers were treated to
another remarkable service duel, but
the American broke through the An
zac's serve late in the set, and won
by 6 to 4.
Interest was intensified when the
Australian evened the score by cap
turing the fourth set, and both play
ers were well extended in the fifth
set, which went to deuce, the specta
tors being treated to the spectacle of
such play as is rarely seen on any
court.
The Californian's victory by 7-5
was due to his great speed, which
finally carried him through Patter
son's seemingly impregnable service.
Norman I. Brookes, the Australian,
and William T. Tilden 1l of Philadel
phia, scored in hotly contested singles
against Charles 8. Garland Jr., the
voung Pittsburg player, and Ichiya
Kumagae, the Japanese star.
Brookes and Garland's score was
1-6, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, 7-5.
Tilden and Kumagae's score was
6-4, 61, 1-6, 4-8, 68-2,
The other scores were: Robert

Cal Delaney Game Fighter
.
Showed Courage in London Tournament
Lightweight Met Welters
By ED W. SMITH.
T will be many a day before a fighter is found who will make as
l game a showing in a tournament as Cal Delaney did in the inter
allied in London last December. This is the broad statement made
by Ed Shane, sport writer, wno was given the task of handling the
American fighters who were sent abroad to compete for the Kking's
prizes. Shave believes Delaney to be the gamest man in the ring today
and thinks his courpge alone was the strongest single factor in
bringing many victories to the Yankees.
At that Delaney was beaten in .
the final of the welterweight class
after he went through eight. bouts
to reach the last night of the bat
tling. Shave had a disagreeable
task and a thoroughly tuankless
one in handling the team, which
was altogether too large and un
wieldy. There were fifty-four
fighters in all and they were merely
dumped down in front of Shave and
he was told to select the eight
best men in the lot and send them
into the tournament. There was a
eamp provided for them in which to
do their training, but that was
about all.
PICKING LIGHTWEIGHT HARD.
In three days twenty-four of the
men had been eliminated, but then
Shave found himself with nine
lightweights, of which lot Richie
Mitchell of Milwaukee appeared to
be the best. Finally this class sim
mered down to four, Cal Delaney,
McManus of Boston and Billy
Whetan of St Paul being the others,
There was not time enough re
maining to hold any elimination
trials and Shave was forced to
make a selection himself. Then to
his preat consternation Dennis
O'Keefe took sick and had to be
sent to a hospital, leaving him
without a good welterweight,
Shave took his troubles to De
laney and explained the situation
to him. Cal didn’t hesitate a min
ute in making his decision. “Put
me in the welters,” was all he
said.
TWO MORE WELTERS,
It was certaoin he would have
many pounds the worst of it there,
as he was welghing then only about
137 pounds. But it seemed the only
thing to do to save the team, That
much decided, things seemed to he
going along all right until the day
before the tournament when two

That made {t absolutely neces

good boy, the day before, but he
hopped right In and started to
whale his way through the new
comers. Cal then got into the tours

T until he and Johnny Basham,

class.

The fast Camp Jesup baseball
team will play the Hill-Holden au
tomobile team on Sunday, Aulupt
31, at 3 p. m. The public is cor
dialy invited to witness this exhi
bition. It promises to be one of
the fastest amateur games of the

pany, 1 to 0. ‘
Camp Jesup has been strength
ened by the following new players:
Walton and Vandergriff, catchers;
Pantone, Gentry and Stewart,
pitchers; Lang, third base; Morris,
second base; LaMonte, shortstop;
Brannon, first base.

LaMonte, Morris, Brannon and
Pantone are all new arrivals, and
as it is their first game, it will be

Origin of Awarding Belts
Custom Originated Over 100 Years Ago}|
Died Out With Sullivan
The awarding of belts, emblematic
ofga world’s championship, is a
ring custom that originated over
100 years ago but died out during
the reign of John L.
Tom C'ribb was the first possessor
of a belt of that kind. Cribb made
a splendid ring record and built up
a tremendous following. When he
reached the absolute heights of
pugilism hig admirers decided upon
presenting him with some gift to
show their regard for him.
And a belt was selected, it being
figured that such a token could be
worn by Cribb on every occasion—in
the ring and out of it. There were
no “strings” attached to the gltt.
It was to be permanently. ust
what happened to the belt after
Cribh's death ever has remained a
mystery.
England had many well loved
pugilists in its da{, but probably
none exceeded Cribb in enduring
popularity. The esteem in which he
was held during his lifetime was
shown when he was made a page
at the coronation of King George
IV, July 19, 1821. .
MONUMENT ERECTED.
After ('ribb's death, a costly mon
nment was erected over his grave in
Woolwich Churchyard. A lion—
life size—stood on the top of it and
near the base of the memorial was
an inscription that told how much
Cribb had been loved and honored
during his lifetime.
The next belt awarded to a win
ner of fistic honors was that do
nated to Jem Ward, who was a
king-pin performer during 1824 to
1836 and who annexed the title.
Ward, in addition to being a fighter,
was an artist of no mean ability.
“Bendigo,” whose real name was
Willlam Thompson, owned the third
belt. “Bendigo,” who was one of
triplets, was a pgwerful fellow, ex
tremely scientific for that era, and
his name ever will rank among the
greatest of British fighters. He
surely was a worthy fitleholder and
by his prowess richly deserved all
the honors that his friends paid to
him,
The first t sferable belt was
given to vahmdluxrd. brother of
Jem. Whem Nicholas won the title
a group of English sportsmen
“chipped in,” bought a belt and gave
it to him. But the gift was not a
permanent one, as in the case of the
others, Nicholas was to retain the
belt only while champion, How=-
ever, as far as s known, Ward never
surrendered it, although he was de
throned and the belt disappeared,
Tom Sayers held a belt, When
he fought John C. Heenan in their
memorable battle, the belt as well
ag the champlonship was at stake.
When the fight ended in a draw it
was proposed at first to cut the belt
in half and give one part to each of
the fighters. That plan, however,
was nulled and two duplicate belts
were made from the original, the
fdea being to give one duplicate to
Savers and the other to the Ameri
can, the original to be kept and
awarded to the first man who, at
some later day, would establish
clear right to the title,
HURST WON BELT.
Rayers got his duplicate-but
Heenan didn't,
Some years later Tom Paddock
and Sam Hurst, “The Stalybridge
Infant,” both claimed title. The two
men right then stood out beyond all
other heavyweights, So the Eng
lish sportsmen decided to put up
the original belt, that had been held
by Sayers, the winper of the fight
to be acclaimed champion and to be
given possession of the belt. 1
Hurst won the battle and held
the girdle until he took on Jem
Mace, who whipped him and gain };;
possession of the championship
trophy. Later Tom King whipped
Mace and King got the belt, What
happened to the championship em
blem thereafter is not a clearly 3{‘
tablished fact. But it is understood =
that King kept the beit and upon
his death it disappeared.
Since that time England has not
been donating any really able
belts to ring performers. 7
John L. Su:g‘van'n belt was
costliest ever Known in or out r
prize ring. It was a mass of pré=
cious stones all of them set in pure
gold. There were more than sixty
carats of the most expensive jewels
and several pounds of gold in the
trophy. The belt was a permanent
gift to the great champion, b
vears before his death, when finap=
cial misfortune came to him, he:
either pawned it or sold it and the
belt was counted as forever lost lm
its original until arter Salli $
death, when it turned up in the
hands of a Baltimorean. o
