Yankees Now Have
Commanding
in Davis
_
Australians Gallantly Battle
American Pair in Five
Gripping and Whirlwind
Sets at Forest Hills.
Forrest Hills, N. Y., Sept. 1.—Con
quering Australia today in a gruel;
ling, spectacularly fought doubles
match that takes rank among the
most titantlc struggles in the history
of international tennis, the United
States gained a commanding position
in its defense of the Davis cup, ti 2
to 1 lead that seemed too formidable
fdr tho challengers to overcome.
William T. Tilden, national chant,
plon, and R. Norris Williams, team
captain, were the heroes of America's
thrilling triumph. Making their de
but as an international combination,
they vanquished the brilliant Austral
ian pair, James O. Ahderson and
John B. Hawkes, 17-13, 11-13, 3-6, 6-3,
6-2, in five gripping, whirlwind sets
that for sheer dazzling brilliancy of
stroke, execution and strategy have
seldom, if ever, been equalled on the
courts anywhere.
Coming from behind after dropping
■ f two of the first three sets, in which
the tide of battle swept back and
forth in an amazing test of stamina
and courage, the Americans rose to
super-heights in the last two sets and
crushed their rivals with a dashing,
invincible attack.
Gallery In Tense Uncertainty.
For two hours and thirty-eight
minutes, the struggle, ns It swayed
from side to side, kept a gallery of
nearly 10,000 In the new West Side
stadium In tense uncertainty. Flash
after flash of the most sensational
sort of play brought spontaneous out
bursts from the colorful gathering
and as the American pair put their
opponents to rout at the close the
crowd threw restraint to the winds
and cheered victors, as well as van
quished, to the echo. At the finish
of the match the throng that scarcely
had been able to control Its enthus
iasm throughout, was as limp as the
quartet of players who walked from
the court, weak from the reaction of
their terrific fight.
Australia, whose battle even in de
feat today but served to emphasize
the unexpectedly formidable character
of its challenge to America's tennis
supremacy, faces only a fighting
chance for victory now In the inter
national series. To lift the historic
trophy, the team from “down under”
must capture both of the singles
matches that conclude the play on
Monday. With Tilden and William
M. Johnston, however, to bear the
brunt of defense In the final tests,
critics tonight regarded triumphs for
the United States as virtually certain.
Only the most spectacular of up
sets, a reversal overshadowing the
defeat of Little Rill Johnston by An
derson in five sets yesterday could
accomplish the trick for Australia.
Anderson, the ace of the challenging
forces, will oppose Tilden, while
Haw keg will play Johnston In the
concluding matches, victory in but
one of which is necessary to clinch
Uncle Sam's possession of the cup
for another year.
Established New Iteeora.
Today's victory for America not
only established a new mark for
duration in international play. hut.
In the first set. equalled the record
for length made In 1914, when Mau
rice McC-oughlin. the California
■ comet," turned back Norman !-•
Brookes, Australian wizard. by a
score of 17-15, in the first set. then
sweeping on to a straight set victory
In one of the high spots of Davis cup
annals.
That first set today was strangely
reminiscent to veteran tennis follow
ers of that historic battle nearly a
decade ago between McLoughlin and
Brookes, in both of which America
X.and Australia fought for supremacy.
* oddly enough the verdict both times
went to this country's stars.
No closer, more evenly matched
struggle could be pictured than that
waged In the first two sets this aft
ernoon. Back and forth, Australian
and Yankee fought, contesting for
every point with dazzling play from
both fore and back court, achieving
marvelous “gets" and raking each
other's ground with strokes that shot
back and forth with blinding speed.
Then. In the third set, the Austra
lians swept to the fore as the de
tendera seemed to weaken under a
relentless, driving attack. But, Just
ns swiftly, after a rest of several
minutes, the tide swting back to
America's favor.
The Yankee pair, playing as if In
tpired. carried all before them In
.lump last two sets. The Australians
!-\lled on their reserve, employed the
uost 'powerful, resourceful of tactics,
n ati effort to stem that crushing
lssault, but all in vain. Eventually
they weakened under the pace, hut
It was the unswerving confidence,
leadly sceuracy snd crashing power
f the American’s game that gained
them their triumph.

THE annual allstar Western
league baseball club for 1923, as
picked by managers of the clubs, is
made up largely of Wichita and Tulsa
players, the leader and runnerup In
this season's pennant race drawing
Upper row (left to right)—Butler
(Wichita) third base, (rosby (Tulsa)
catcher, Speece (Omaha) pitcher, Bau

middle row; Maun (Wichita) pitcher,
Black ITulsal pitcher, llungling (lies
Moines) catcher; lower row; Blakesley
(Wichita) left field, Horan l)es
Moines) right field.
11 of the 16 ^positions on the first
team.
Following custom the sporting edi
tor asked every manager In the league
to fill out blanks for a .first and
second team with the understanding
that none of the individual selections
would lie divulged and that a com
poalte team or teams, made up from
the players receiving the most votes
for each position would be announced
The managers were urged to make
their selections without fear or fa
vor just ns If they were picking a
team which they would pilot and had
free rein to grab any players In the!
circuit. Ail but one of the managers
responded.
Every position on the two teams is
filled just as the managers voted
with the exception of right field on
the second nine. In this Instance
two players were tied for the second
berth but neither had as large a total
vote as Corriden who was the choice of
one or more managers for every one
of the outfield berths and who In
addition received two votes for left
field on the second team. It was con
sidered only fair that he be given the
right field second team berth as he
had more outfield votes than any
---T
other player aside from those already
assigned positions.
Wichita drew six first berths, one
more than Tulsa; Des Moines and
Omaha drew two each and Oklahoma
City one Tulsa with four men landed
the most second team places, but Den
ver was assigned three Wichita, Oma
ha, Sioux City anil Des Moines two
each and Oklahoma City one. Thus
St. Joseph was the only team that did
not land one or more men on the two
nines.
Only Two left Hand Hitters.
Judging by the votes of the manag
ers the outstanding players In the
league are McDowell of Wichita at
first base, Bauman of Tulsa at sec
ond. Butler of Wichita at third. I>ee
of Tulsa at short, Horan of Des
Moines in light field and Crosby of
Tulsa as catcher. Hungling of Des
Moines received one more vote for
the pecond first team catcher than
Query of Sioux City.
One of the peculiar things about
the f.rst team is that there are’only
two left-hand hitters among the teg
ulars and two catchers.
Players who received two votes
for any position or positions In the
32 on the two teams are placed in the
honor roll but In spite of this many
sterling players do not appear on the
list, the opinion of the managers as
expressed in the ballots being nearly
In accord. In fact the athletes draw
ing positions did so by a greater mar
gin of votes than at any time in the
seven years that Western league man
agers have been picking teams for
the writer.
