"WHITTED PULLS BIG LEAGUE SLIDE AT HOME Bulls Came Prom Behind to Tie in Seventh Only to See "Game Slip Out of Their Grasp When Smith Was Allowed to Stretch Single. The Raleieh Capitals, on their metal, fought out a 5 to 4 victory over the Durham Bovines, yesterday afternoon at Do- hertveark. It took the ninth inning to finally settle the old baseball Argument, and erratic fielding in this hoop made the winning -score possible. Throughout the early stages of-the game Raleigh had the best of the battle, due principally to a wild heave by Alec bib son. In the final inning3 Gibson pitched like a master of the mound, and really deserved to annex a victory. Both teams did some smart often-Q slve work, and likewise the defensive perators were good. Durham's work Cas more 'hrjjllant than that of the Capitals at certain moments, but the glory of scintillating plays was taken away by Inefficiency in other periods of excitement." . Both teams battled hard. The Ooochmen had a world of fight, and - titer being on the wrong end of a 4-2 score for some rounds managed Sfo tie the count In the seventh. In the eighth neither team scattered the dust at the home pan, and in the ninth Raleigh capture, i A single stretched into a double by Carr Smith, and a stinging one base lick by "Whltey" Graves, spelled defeat for Gibson and Durhamt" In pitching alone Gibson had a shade the better of Klefer. This shade, however, was erased by the erratic fielding done by the Bovines. In the fifth inning Gibson fanned Sullivan, Graves and Barrett, and In the seventh frame made Smith and Graves (the men who did the climax stunt in the ninth) breese their bats1 through pure atmosphere. Some Nifty Features. The game was sufficient to stir a healthy yell from an Alaskan fan. In tbe eighth canto Lennox dashed a bumper to Butts. The third sacks pegged to first. Whitted lost the ball In the sun, but by keeping his back to Umpire Ferguson fooled him into calling the visiting short stop out. Duke Duncan made sufficient protest and McDonald who was having en ough to do to mind his business be hind the home plate, had to be called upon to rule h play. Being a iar slghted gentleman he indicated that Lennox was safe. There was another feature In the seventh when the Bovines tied up the score. Butts brushed a single to right and Strlngfield and Whitted tal lied. Whitted had to race hard to do his scoring and wax successful due to a big league fade-away slide. Some of the feature fielding of the afternoon was contributed by String- field and Heme, xor .uurnam anu ucu nox and Johnson for Raleigh: It would be unsafe, however, to over look the fact that at a critical mo ment Aleo Gibson ducked his head and lifted his gloved hand skyward in time to intercept a hot line drive off Duncan's bat. Raleigh Started It. The visitors came pretty neaf-tc driving Gibson to the showers in the opening frame. After Peale Johnsos had- ballooned to Dayton, Duncas drew a base on balls. Sullivan cracked a single to right and Smith followed with a single to center, Duncan scor ing. Graves skied out to Sadler, and Barrett connected for a single to left Sullivan scoring. Lennox concluded the frame by striking out. In the same Inning Durham an nexed one run. Henle bunted and beat' it out." Strlngfield grounded Jo second and Henle was thrown out at second. Whitted poked a single into rightfleld and Strligfleld raced to third. Gooch. filed out to Duncan and Strlngfield scored from third. Whitted was out at second and Butts grounder to shoYt.-, " In the third canto the visitors mado two, runs, and Durham managed to get 'one score across, Sullivan first no. singled. Smith was safe on Whlt- yted's error of his bunt, Sullivan going to second. Graves sacrificed and the 'runners, moved up. a base each. Bar ret Bit' to. Butts and Sullivan was thrown out . at the plate. On Butts' error of Lennox's grounder, Raleigh filled the bases. Gibson tossed wild, and Smith and Barrett scored. Siner flew out to Dayton. In this same inning Henle opSned with a single to right. Strlngfield fol lowed wtih a single to center. Whit ted grounded to short and a fast . double play was perfected, with Henle scoring in the mean time. Gooch grounded out third to first. Durham tagged the home plate twice in the seventh. Gibson reached first' nn nn-Jnfifilil hit. Henle flew out to right. Strlngfield grounded to short and Gibson, was thrown out at, sec ond.

HOSIERY MILLS SINKS HOOKS IN GORMAN OUTFIT DEMPSEY IS IN : REAL FIGHTING TRIM ALREADY AMERICAN TEAM IN MARVELOUS FINISH By DAVIS i. WALSH. FOREST HILLS. L. I Sept. 1. An American with his back to tha wan ia notoriously a tough hombre and at the conclusion of the third set of the David cup chaUenge round to doubles this afternoon, the Ameri can team of Williamm T. Tilden, and R. Korris Williams, stood blindfolded and bound with unseen thongs, ready for sunset and the firing squad. The latter was composed of James O. An derson and John B. Hawkes, of Aus tralia, vhose deadly shots had just completed the business of shoo tin 2 down tho Americans In two out of three sets, 15-17. 1J-11 and -S. 'es tablishing a worlds record for games played in competitive tennis. Then tho transformation, as sud den as the Tropic dawn, as complete as a prosecutor's indictment. In Immaculate new flannels, Tilden and Williams returned to the courts of the fourth set. But they had more than new raiment. They were new men with a new and Improved game, their speed was dazzling, their morale at the zenith in striking contrast to their demoralized state of a few min utes before. Fairly burning up the court, their rushed throngs the im potent Australians In two" straight sets, t-3. and (-2, for what was prob ably the most sensational triumph in the history of Davis cup play. A crowd of 10,00V, Including among others General John J. Pershing, fair ly lost its head over the outcome. It was not a very composed crowl at any time. The outcome of the match means that America need only win one of the two singles matches on Monday to retain the Davis cup for another 12 months.

"WW Matthews ot the Athletics is a shining example. During the nret tlirco months of the race, when the Athletics were setting the pace in tho American League, Muuhcwd was the mot talked of player in tho majors. For a time he featured the sport' pages to the exclusion ot all other members 'of the Athletics, some of whom were doing as much if not mora to make tbe A's. the sensation of the American League.. But prosperity, they say, went to the young man's head. From a young ster willing to listen to any and all advice, Matthews overnight refused to take orders from any one, even the great Connie Mack, declare some ot those who ought to know. That was entirely too much for Connie, the greatest developer of star players of all time. "Wid; thaMadliner of the spring. now is a bench warmer with the Ath letics. Recently he has not even been permitted to "take part In batting practice. '" In a certain game of several weeks ago the coacher at third Veiled cer tain instructions to Matthews, which It la claimed he entirely disregarded. Coming to the bench the coacher took Issue with Matthews, whereunon "Wld" ia said to have gotten very mucn. excited. ' At this stag of the. game Mana ger Mack interviewed Always fair, Mack took sides with the coacher, since he knew Matthews had open iy disregarded instructions. Then came the blow-off. - Matthews pro ceeded to argue the point with Man ager Mack, punctuating his remarks with tobasco language. ' No manager Is fairer or kinder with his players than Mack. He never openly criticises them. It must have been a decided shock to Mack to have a raw recruit openly take issue with him. That was too much. Exit Matthews from the picture. Already Mack has asked for waivers on him. "Wld," while not a great ball play er, got away big because he was al ways trying and was imbued with the winning spirit- TY0I,1BLY I1ED POINTERS DOWN TO ONE MARKER fs ftuterAllo'wed tDsCiSix Hits but Leafs Made Good - Use of Them.
