RACE MAY BE A DEAD HEAT So ar?? l.radfr- in Ainrriran lli.il Possibility ol Tii' Now B?* Talked of. By JOHN II. FOSTKi; (Cui')richt. iv:i. t>? n.- > <New*York. Auk. 3'*.

For .New York might win from Washington. Washington might win frotu in troll, and Detroit might win from New York. TTTat would give vlctory each to New York. Wash ington and Detroit and th. whole process would have to he started over. lu the case of a "sudden death" aeries, the three contenders would draw for places In the first flush and one would draw a by-. Sup pose New York und Washington *rcre brought together in tin draw. They would play as many 4"'?" as the liuunl 01 ? tt ire.-tnr ordered and the- team whb-lt mm out at the little end of tin* hoin would be eliminated.

But if Detroit won in the Iin.il series, the loser In the flr.st serje, would have some giounds for ? howl to tho effect that It could have beaten Detroit had it been given the chance. Should a tie result between- two clubs at the end of the season, th question would go to the board or directors in the same way, but their decision would lie much easier. It would be u simple case of deciding how many games should be played to determine Hie wlimer. The chances are that the owners of the competing- ? eluU*: would have something to hu\ about It. If they wished for a aeries they might get It. though in the general Interest of Mm aport it probably would be better to settle It with a single game. 11 a series were undertaken it might drag out because of bad weulher and seriously interfere with th ?world series. * There can be no permanent lb declared at the end of the season, because the order of the league I that a championship must be etf fectod. If it shoild happen that the teams seemed to be tied, but the carrying out of the decimal point would jUve one team an ad - vantage, Hie clio" 11 ipTo n sli fp 'wTiuTil go to that team, exactly as an In dividual ball player's average In field or at bat is determined by carrying the decimal further than three places if necessary. Championships are determined on a percentage basis Instead ol the old fashioned method of vlr torles and defeats because so ma ny vexatious situations urosi when an attempt made was tr reckon victors by the latter mcth od. For instance, a club would claim that if It had four vlctorle over the third place team and an other club also clnlmlng the title had only three, its victories over the strong third place club should be the deciding factor. regardb?r of the fact th%t defeats by other clubs had brought its average down to its competitor's level: flKVIVAVi Itl^lNH SIM) \ v AT MT.

Tildeu has born national cfiampion for four years. William M. Johnston has been twice upon the throne, the first time nine years ago. and Morris Williams won his first rhampiimship ten years ago and the other night years hack. It depends pretty much upon how much a man makes of his gamf. Maurice McLoughlin, was in deed the meteor which tennis en thuslasts h'-ld him to be. Hut like tin nerollte the brilliancy of his flame was out of all proportion to the endurance thereof. No man gave an impression of so great an expenditure of sheer physical energy as Mclaughlin and his quick Recline was the penalty. Tllden plays with an immense nmount of reserve when he wishes lo. Hut when he gives he gives lavishly of his energy. The point is he is not always giving. Morris Wiliams has never killed himself 1>y overwork on the courts and Kill Johnston while active as a cat dors not- throw- ? away energy un necessarily. Hut for sheer conservation of physics! resources .Watson Wash hurne may be commended, lfe moves over a court with thf grave deliberation of a professor studying some esoteric chart. Washburne wins by brains and where physical activity and brains an- opposed to him he always loses; but not otherwise.
