s After Last Game That
Work Two Years Ago
Really Done Him Up
By Hahilton.
(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. He said his fierce work of two
vears ago when he performed the t'ent
of defeating Brookes and Wilding, the

to get into shape for the summer with
that handicap. He is a lover of ten

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. Nothing could bo fur
ther from the truth. The problems in
volved in high power rifle shooting
are practically all present in miniature
rifle shooting, as it is callod in Eng
land. If a man learns how to hold and
sight a .22 caliber riflo and can make
good scores at short ranges with this
ivunnnn hn hns lniil nil excellent f'Olin-i
ilation for skill with an army rifle al
though he may never have fired a shot
from the larger weapon. Anyone. who
was present at the Peeksltill shoot of

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. Philadelphia, in second place,
also nil) be engaged in a double bill

Kilbane's Class Has
Nothing to Meet Him
By Hamilton.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
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.
