ter regained control of bis fore
hand on which his whole same is
based and gave Tilden a terriffie
battle of it.

Hall, of Orange. N. J., In the semi
final round of the men's doubles.
4-, -2, -7, 6-8, -2. The first
three sets of this battle had been
played yesterday when darkness
ended the struggle before it could

Texas, and Gregory Mangin, of
Newark, N. J., who beat them in

EUGENE. Aug.. 17. (Special)
Nearly SO fans from Coqnllle
have signed to come, here Sun
day when the Cq utile and Eugene
baseball teams win do battle at
the fairgrounds, starting at 2:30
o'clock, for the championship of
the Bay-Valley league. With an
advantage of one game last Sun
day's In, the bucket; Coquille is
confident it will .again Sunday
and become champion, with ths
third and deciding game unnec
essary. For. that reason a large
delegation of Coos Bay fans are
coming here.
But Billy Reinhart. manager of
the lugene team, isn't certain at
all that Coqnllle will win. In fact,
Reinhart is almost sure that it
wont. Eugene lost the first game
he said, by the small score of 2
to O. An infield hit, which rolled
out into the outfield for a home
run, gave Coquille one of Its
markers. The second came when a
sure double play went astray and
all runners were safe, latef the
man from third scoring on a 'sac
rifice fly.
Eugene will hare a stronger
llneupu Sunday than it did last
week. The acquisition of Billy Sul
livan from Salem to play first
base, will give it both batting and
fielding strength. Sullivan, why
was loaned to Eugene by the Sa
lem Senators, led the Oregon
Washington league in hittinp.
Cotter Gould and Franny An
drews also strengthen the
batting department of Eugene.
Whichever team wins ihe Bay
Valley league championship. Eu
gene or Coquille, will probably
play the Salem Senators the Sun
day after this series is ended.
Both have vrritten to Manager

team, asking for a game.
