(I'nited Pros Stuff Corespondent. ) New York, Sept. Hi Maurice K. Mc Laughlin, who twice won the tennis singles championship of America, and is admitted to have been tile great est tennis player this country ever produced, stands as a living proof of the oft made and seldom believed state ment that tennis is the most strenuous game played in America. After his failure to last in the na tional championships finished Septem ber 5 at Forest Hills, McLoughlin de clared it was his inability to sustain his game that put him out of the run-' ' liing.

Shooting Points For Beginners By Alfred Lane There seems to be nn idea among big game hunters and military xiflo shots that shooting with a .22 caliber rifle is a child's pastime and unworthy of any male who has reached the long trouser stage.

Xew York, Sept. 10 Zack Wheat, the eminent outfielder of the Dodgers, by his grcnt stunt of hitting safely in 28 consecutive games today jumped into third position iu the Rational league batting averages. Wheat started his muciug career while the Dodgers were on their last swing around the circuit and the most recent averages show ho is hitting .310. He is just a point behind his team mute, Jake Daubert. Hal Chase of Cincinnati continues in the lend with a mark of .327. Wheat's string of safe hitting hasn't ended, but he already has set a record for the season. There isn 't a chance for him to break the world's record this year, for Jack Ness, now with the Chi cago American league club, hit safely in 4ft consecutive games last year while with the Oakland team, in the Pacific Coast league. Zack's last hit was yesterday when in the second inning of the game be tween the Pirntes and Dodgers, with the bnses full, he smashed the ball for a home run. This is the Missouri clouter's first home run with the bases full, although his four sack feats are common in Brooklyn. Benny Kauff has boosted his aver age to .280. Although Robertson, New York, is hitting only .281, he leads the lengue in runs scored, having crossed the plate in safety 90 times. Tris Speaker maintains his place at the head of the American league column with an average of .37!) to Cobb's .303. Joe Jackson is plugging along in third place with a mark of .348. Cobb leads in runs scored with an even 100. Tom Hughes of Boston, is the best pitcher in the National league in games won and lost. He has ndded 14 games to the won column for the Braves and has dropped only three. Allen, Boston, is in second place with seven won and two lost. Nick Cullop of the Yankees, with 12 victories and four defeats, heads the percentage table for pitchers in tho Am erican league. Bolaud, Detroit, has won nine and lost three. Faber, Chicago, has won 15 and lost six. The end of the week finds Brooklyn leading the National league by two games, a pretty comfortable margin. in these troublous days. Cincinnati will be a visitor in the Dodgers' park this afternoon and two games are on the pro gram.

New Yorfk, Sept.' Hi. Since Johnny Kilbanc the featherweight champion, had such an easy time in winning from (leorge Chaney of Baltimore In their Labor Day bout at Cedar Point, O., Kilbnne has an answer to the talk about his being champion of the "cheese" class. The fact of the matter is that Kilbnne is just about the cleverest and most ver satile champion now fighting. Undenia bly he ha-s proved the most effective. His record is surprisingly tun ot knocK outs and aud clean cut victories. It has been some years since Kilbane won his title from Abe Attell, who at that time was characterized as one of the cleverest boys who ever had laid claim to the title in the ranks which have been graced by some of the most famous mitt artists of the century And Kilbane had a comparatively easy time outpointing the ciiampion then re cognized. Since that time Kilbnne has met ev ery, boxer in his class who has shown himself worthy of a chance at the title. Aud every one of them has gone to a crushing defeat. Iviluane even lias step ped out ot his class and hnsJiied the issue witn some ot tne nest ngnt weights, Joe Mandot being one of the most prominent. Some of the writers gave Mandot a bit the best of the mill ing, but a mnjority of them saia it was a draw and gave Ainiane great erf dit. It has been said to Kilbane that he has avoided decision bouts to protect his title much the same as Fredilie Welsh has done. Well, even if lie had, there is an excuse. It is hard in these days to find a place for a fight where a decision can be given, but Kilbnne has fought several decision battles and none ever has gone against him. Ritchie Mitchell is considered one of the country's best lightweights but Kil bnne gave him a high class trimming when Mitchell was n featherweight. Not much has been heard of Eddie O'Kcefe since he tried to brush back a trouble some lock of hair during a bout with Kilbane, Kilbane put his right hand across on O'Keefe's jaw and Eddie took a long sleep. Once Kid Williams, the bantanrweight champion, thought he could lick the featherweight champion and he tried it. Villiains too the worst beating he possibly could have assimilated ami still stayed on his feet. Chaney began to come to the front and yoll for a match with the champion. He got it. lie also got the usual trim ming from Kilbnne. And, let us add by way of appendage, that it's going to be some time before a featherweight with sufficient class to down Kilbane, makes his appearance. There has been few boxers with ability of Kilbanc. Ho can hit as well. There are a great many fight follow ers in the country who believe the lit tle featherweight is just the mini to rip Freddie Welsh '-s crown off his head und plnce it back to a point where there will be some interest in the light weight class. j: Watching the Scoreboard $ Facific Coast.
