LESS BRILLIANT
BRUSHED ASIDE
Second and Several Third
Round Tennis Matches
Have Been Played.
By JACK VEIOCK
International News Service Sporting
Editor
Germantown Cricket Club, Philadel
phia, Sept- 10. With Champion Bill
Tilden setting a winning pace and
favorites brushing aside less brilliant
opponents, the field in .the national ten
nis singles championship was narrow
ed down to twentv-six nlavers here
today.
The second round and several third
round matches were competed and on
Monday the players will stage thirteen
matches in the third and fourth round.
Four of the foreign contingent survi
ved today's play. Zenzo Shimidzu, the
crack little player from Nippon, Gor
don Lowe, of the English Davis Cup
Team,, and Jimmy Anderson and Jack
Hawkes, of Australia, remain in the
running for the title.
All but one of these players may
be put out of the running on Monday.
Shimidzu has the hardest match. He
must face -Tilden in the third round.
Anderson and Hawkes will come to
gether and the winner will most pro
bably get R. Norris Williams in the
fourth round. Lowe will meet Dean
Mathey, who . has come down to the
third "round tnrough default of R. L
Murray and Hugh Talent.
UPPER HALF QUIET
The upper half of the field offers
but little in the way of feature matches
Williams is the outstanding player in
this section of the draw. In ihe lower
half, two of the best players in the
tourney will be eliminated on Monday,
for Tilden and Shimidzu and Billy John
ston and Young Vinny Richards will
have it out.
Tilden came through today's round by
defeating P. L. Goldsborough in straight
sets, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4. Shimidzu, after win
ning two sets from Marshall Allen, of
Settle, in easy style at 6-3, 6-0, had to
fight out to sweltering finish in the
third set when Allen carried him to
12 games to win it.
Billy Johnson came through his second-round
match with a victory over
Edward Hall, winning it 6-4, 6-1, 6-4.
R. Norris Williams went into the
third by defeating W. W. Ingraham, of
Providence, 6-1, 7-5, 6-2, Williams dis
played plenty of class in winning from
his youthful opponent, who is a comer
and who managed to dispose of Nor
man Peach, cf Australia, in the first
round.

nation which turned back the opposition. Working in rotation with
other members of the staff merely filling in the fourth day occasionally
these three hurled their team to victory. Toney, Nehf and Douglas

Copyrlgrht, 1D21, by AT( Pobllshine Co.
New York, Sept. 10. Only three cities
have gold-plated chances to be upstir
red with the annual hysteria of a world
serip this year. They are Pittsburgh,
Cleveland and New York- A scattering
few think St. Louis has an outside
chance. It may be so, but if that city
has a chance, it is far outside. St.
Louis began too late.
A world series in New York is not
new but it is not recent. The last
was played in 1917.- A world series in
New York with the Yankees as con
tenders, would be very new, for4 they
have never yet won a pennant. They
were very close to a world series one
time in 1904. They were as close as the
height of a spitball which sailed a foot
or so over Kleinow's head after Jack
Chesbro had pitched it.
That was a bitter climax as well as
a moist one- Some of the fans snarled
like wolves, While others howled with
glee. Those were the days when the
fans took up the quarrels of the owner
and made them their own. Now the
owners take the quarrels of the fans
and put them in steel safely deposit
boxes. Chesbro was abused by some
partisans all the way and down Wash
ington Heights. Not to his face, of
course, for those who jeer athletes and
question their motives usually pick a
rostrum five miles or more from the
athlete. Other fans were so glad it hap
pened that they half wished they might
congratulate Chesbro.
A world series for Cleveland was a
grand novelty until last year. It might
be a good attraction this year, but the
chances are it wouldn't "novel" up as
it did the first time. Still Cleveland
could better afford to have two world
series in succession than to go too long
between sodas, because, when a cham
pionship team begins to fray at the
tedges, it takes a long time to get the
right kind of cloth to patch it up again.
PITTSBURGH NEEDS IT
Pittsburgh has had a world series but
it was so long ago that most of the
present day fans know of it only by
hearsay. Pittsburgh is well located for
such a series- It is possible to get there
from almost any part of big league ter
ritory overnight. Should the Pirates
win the championship, Forbes Field will
be filled each afternoon with a "galar
ious mob", as Wiggins describes it.
The baseball folk have said nothing
about the arrangements for a world
series for this is the first time Judge
Landis will sit in the front box and pre
side. He has not had a chance to confer
with the league presidents, as the league
championships are by no means decided
yet. It is understood, however, that
the nine-game arrangement of 1919 and
1920 will be adopted again. This pro
vides better opportunity for spoils. Of
course, spoils are not the presumable
incentive of the world series, but the
"presumable incentive" dropped out long
ago in fayor of the casn register. JNine
games will mean that the club taking
the first five games will take the world
title.
If the series should happen to be play
ed between New York and Pittsburgh,
it is likely that the first three games
will be played in the city winning the
toss and the second three, if that many
are needed, in he other city.'
If Pittsburgh and Cleveland were to
play, there is some talk of 'arranging
games in alternate cities on alternate
days. However, that would be taking
a good many chance' Three-games ser
ies would be better, or two-game stops
might be arranged.
WOULD HURT INTEREST
If the two New York teams played,
there would not be much enthusiasm in
evidence after the third or fourth day.
Traveling to the same field every atter-
noon without any junketing arouna De-
twen cities has never given the series
much color for the traveler who crossed
tViA muntrv to see baseoau. xocai ai
mosphere wears out quickly and playing
nn the same grounds each day unques
tionably has something to do with tak
ino. nwav the ceo. City series -have
proved that.

So important a matter as that of buying a motor car should be considered alone by
by a comparison of values and not by "fads and fancies."
What does it matter to you how many cylinders your car has if it meets every test
and compensates for every demand made of it?
What does it matter to y;ou what the weight, or size, or price, of any particular part
is; let the designing engineers and builders take that responsibility.
i
Remember quality is not represented by size. Neither is cost represented by price.
Frequency of replacements, whether of the smallest part, or the whole car
and value returned for the money you pay, should be your guide.
You pay for long life in a rnotor car, and get it in the Hupmobile.
You pay for low repair and operating cost and get them in the Hupmobile. 1
You pay for satisfaction as long as you own the car and for a ready market at a
satisfactory price when you get ready to sell it, or trade it, and get them
both in the Hupmobile. a
You pay to keep going and for freedom from constant annoying adjustments, or
knocks, pounds and rattles, and you geUt in the Hupmobile. j
You pay for performing ability in the car you buy, such as speed, hill-climbing
power, low speed tugging power in high gear, and you get them in the
Hupmobile.
You pay for comfort in driving, flexibility, etc., and you get those qualities in
the Hupmobile. 1
Owners of long standing will tell you that these are precisely the things you get
.. when you buy a Hupmobile.
Ask us to "show you" THE NEW CAR it's the car of the American family:
You have a cordial invitation to visit
our Show Room and see the new
models, while in the" city for the
Carolinas Exposition.
