the ball and oan handla a" lob or return It
well, Smyth I no tyro at tha gama and had
Webster on edge all through tha gama. aa
it waa anyona'a contaat at several periods
of tha play.
Webster atartad with a atrong serve and
soon had Smyth pariplrlng to raturn hla
swift balla over tha net. Smyth waa gama
and stuck to It, bowavor, loalng tha flrat
eet on deuca score, 7-4. Tha second act

courta of tha club during tha tournament.

tha aid of hie aaslstanta haa kept tha
courta in fine ahapa for every day's playing.
OMAHA MEN TAKE SEMI-FIN ALI
. myth and Jack Webster Are the
Vletora In Soma Fut Matches.
Two Omaha men won both the serai
final matches of the con eolation singles of
tha national clay court Saturday morning,
E. Smyth of Omaha defeating R. H. Doeh
of Stuart, la., S-S, e-a, M, and Jack Web
ter of Omaha beat M. Col patter or Omaha,
S-8. M.
Jack- Webstar won tha consolation i ain
glea laat year and la evidently out after
tha same honor thla year since he waa put
out In tha big tourney. Ha la a member
f the Michigan college team.
Both of tha semi-finals . were good
matches, tha Smyth-Doah go being the
hardest fought. Smyth took a long time
tartlng and the Iowa player took tha first
aet 8-0. In tha next set Smyth came back
and trounced Doah with tha same eoore
and tha fight was even for the match.
With both of tha first two seta gone
deuce tha last aet atarted with each man
playing carefully. With six games apiece
both were speeded up so that the match
appeared aa a real championship one.
Smyth's activity In covering the court
really won him the tournament rather than
his akl!l with the racquet.
Jack Webster proved too speedy for tha
other Omaha man. Webster's servo won
him many a point, a nwlft ball over tha
court proving hard to manage, and Col
petser simply returned It the best he could
only to have Webster place It at will on
bis next shot.
. Colpetser found himself In the aecond aet
and for a few mlnutea it looked aa If 'he
might make away with one aet. 4 Webster
teadied down, however, and won on hla
own serve.

BALL FANS NOT CHARITABLE
They Are Prone to Criticize the Man
- ageri of Losing Teams.
TIME REEDED TO BUILD A TEAM
While lean Msfiatti Do Not Know
the Stlaaa of Abase, Others Get
It from All Sides by law
dlaraaBt Fame.
NEW YORK. Aug. a Managera of loalng
baae ball teama are not to be envied. They
are held responsible for fallurea and ara
subjected to an endleaa amount of severe
criticism, some of It warranted and the
rest of It uncalled for. Because they cannot
make Inferior players ahow championship
caliber and because they have no desirable
timber with which to make strengthening
deals, they become targets for abuaa from
Impatient fans and heartless critics. Nobody
seems to realise that It requires time to
build up a winning ball club, and for that
reason an unsuccessful team handler Is
a phenomenon If he can survive the fusil
lade of adverse comment that inevitably
acmes his way, ,
John McOraw, Frank Chanoe, Hugh Jen
nings and Connie Mack do not know tha
meaning of the word abuse. They have
been fortunate enough to . have winning
teama ever since they become major league
managers. If they make deala for playera
that do not pan out fans and critloa readily
gloss over the mletakea and make plausible
excuses that perpetuate a feeling of con
fidence. If their teams lose a string ot
games the alump la attributed to hard luck.
the umplrea, or dumb ball playing by the
men who take orders from the bench. These
managers are lionised year In and year
out and are entitled to live In continual
peace because of the results they produce.
It Is a truth that cannot be denied that
Mack. McOraw, Jenninga and Chance pos
sess sterling managerial ability that other
team leaders are unable to boast of and
tbat their winning teams are developed by
real skill and sound Judgment. But It Is
also true that these successful managera
have been extremely lucky in getting what
are known as "the best of the breaks." the
equivalent of .a constant smile from old
dame fortune. 1
Jimmy McAleer and Clark Griffith are
present day examplea of the toning mana
ger. McAleer la having all kinds of trouble
In trying to make hla Washington win,
while Griffith's days as handler of the
Cincinnati Reds are numbered. Tet both
men have bad years of base ball experience
and have never been accused of knowing
nothing of the fine points of the national
game. Each haa tha backing of rich em
ployers and both ' have worked hard to
delight the fane In their respective cities.
But ."the breaks' have been against them
and tbay are now subjected to volleys of
vituperative criticism that apell ruin tor
their teama. .
laf air Criticism.
Griffith and McAleer have been blamed
for exercising poor judgment In running
their teama, but It Is decidedly unfair to
accuse them of falling to secure winning
playera No major league team that haa
one or two star playera will make a trade
for Inferior men. The Giants wouldn't
sell Mathewson at any prtoe, any more
than the Athletlca would part with Col
Una or the Highlanders would, let go of
Russell Ford. Bo in spite of big money to
be apent for great players Griffith and Mc
Aleer confess that their hands ara tied and
that they, cannot Improve their teama under
tthe present condtlona.
Last winter Griffith made one of the
blggeat tradea on record when ha ex
changed Lobert, Paskert, Rowan and
Beebe for Moren, McQulllen. Bates and
Grant of the Phlladelphtaa. At the time
Griffith waa complimented for getting the
better of the deal and Cincinnati fans
promptly saw vlalones of tha "pennant, yet
tbe deal turned out to be the most unfor
tunate transaction that the Reds' manager
could have completed. Lobert was unable
to . play flret-claaa ball 'n Cincinnati, but
ha Is now a star In Quekertown. Paskert
didn't ahow real claaa In Porkvllle, yet he
la playing a wonderful game for Dooln.
Grant, who waa a crack-a-Jack in Phlla
delphla. haa been a weak apot In Redvllle,
while Mo ran and McQulllen, auppoaed to
be top notch pitchers, have been little
more than dead weight on Griffs hands.
Griffith let Huggina, Oakea and Mowrey
go to the St. Louis Cardinals at a time
when they appeared to ba worthless mater
ial, but under Roger Breeoahan'a maelo
handling they have aecured a new lease on
life. Griff had BUI Buma, the well ktawn
left-handed pitcher, for a while, but aa ba
looked like a failure Burns was released
to the Quakers, with whom ha quickly
howde winning quality. These reverses
have stirred up Cincinnati critics to such
a degree of bitterness that they have no
mercy for Griffith. Every defeat of the
Reds is charged up to him and he la never
in Doubles
NATIONAL CLAT COURT TOURNBT
out of hot water. His employer, Garry
Herrmann, has never declined to apend
money lavishly for new players and It Is a
question because of the avarloe of rival
club owners.
In Washington the conditions appear to
be similar. The team haa been Covering
around the tail end position for twenty
three years and the fana ara becoming
desperate. McAleer, capable and pains
taking, took hold of the washlngtons laat
year, and . although he had aecond elasa
material to work with he managed to get
the team out of the cellar. Then the
Washington critics and fana began to ory
for a flrat division team and McAleer, pro
testing that he needed more time to
develop a winner, waa overruled. He waa
Informed that Washington mu t have a
ball club that would flnlsu fifth at the
lowest and that's all there was to It.
The. only first-class men McAleer had
at' the beginning of thla year's campaign
were Johnson, Street and Milan. Elber
feld saw his best days when he draw sal
ary from tbe Highlanders, while tha other
playera were Just plain everyday minor
leaguers. But McAleer went about the
task with characteristic pluck and eald
nothing. Ha told hla employera that ha
would do the beat he could, nothing mora.
The Waahlngtona have played the aame er
ratio ' games that marked their work In
former years, and McAleer has been made
to understand that he la wholly to blame.
Hla discomfiture has been increased by the
wlllngneaa of newspapers to publish let
ters from fans setting forth how tha team
should be managed, while there la an in
cessant howl for another team leader. ' Mo
Aleer la highly regarded by President John
son and other American league officials.
who deplore the present state of affaire
in Washington, but are powerless to offer
aid.
Other managera who ara alssllng on the
pan because of the failure of their teama
are Fred Tenney of the Boston Nationals,
Dahlen of the Brooklyna and Bobby Wal
lace ot tha St. Louis Browns. George Bto
vall has done so well with tha Clevelande
that he will receive another trial next
season, but there la aoma doubt about
Patay Donovan of the Boston Red Sox
and Hugh Duffy of the Chicago White
Box. Hal Chase will remain In charge of
the Hlghlandera In - 1912, as tha team la
going fairly well In aplte of many accl
dents that handicapped the boy manager
at the beginning of the campaign.
It la something new for Roger Bresna
han of the Cardinals and Charley Dooln
of the Phlladelphlas to enjoy hero worship
Both headed losing combinations last year
and were frequently atung by tha eh efts
of the critics. But. their teama have worked
wonaera so lar this year and they are
no longer compelled to lie awake nlghta
trying to devise ways and means to avoid
the Jeers and taunta of Impatient crowds.
They .can't make mistakes, and their friends
are legion. Followers of winning ball
teams always are charitable, but ever
ready to acora the poor manager when re
verses drag their favorites In tbe mire.

L CLAT COURT CHAMPIONSHIP WHO
BRITISH OPPOSE WELLS FIGHT
They Say it Would Be Suicide for Him
to Go Against Johnson.
BIO BLACK FIGHTER IS CRAFTY
He Made Promoters Show Color of
Their Money Before He Signed
Up for Boot to Be Palled -Off
la September.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. A fight that may
end a promising career, according to many
London fight critics, Is that between Jack
Johnson and Bombardier Wells, the Eng
lish champion, and the holder of Lord
Lonsdale's heavyweight belt.
' In all quarters In England except those
directly Interested in the financial pos
sibilities this match has met with resent
ment. Wells is by far the best boxer and
the most promising fighter that England
has produced for many years, and those
on the other aide who have watched hla
quickly ' growing reputation and his
achievements, have fondly believed that In
him they had found a future world's cham
pion, one . possessed of qualities to take
back to England the long lost honor.
It la regarded as tantamount to profes
sional suicide for htm to meet Johnson at
this stage of his development, and the
uninterested section of the London press
has no hesitancy In slamming the com1
paot. Wells has only been hut of the
British army for a matter of eighteen
months or so, and all his fighting has
been done during the last year. He has
come on a lot, Is a clever boxer for a big
man, haa a good punoh In either hand
and Is as game aa they make them. But
he la full of nervea and suffers from stage
fright every time be enters the ring.
There Is no doubt that Johnson will be
able to hypnotise him when they face
each other, and Welle Is expected to make
a sorry showing. The match waa offered
to Hugh Mcintosh more than five weeks
ago,, but that astute gentleman, foreseeing
tha coming antagonism of the English
public, passed It up.
Shock to All Ba aland.
This match haa been the greatest shock
English pride has received in many years.
They are proud of Wells and all their
hopes have been centered In him; that he
should have listened to the guile of the
golden guineas and fallen Into the arms of
the waiting Johnson is, in the eyes of his
countrymen, the greatest blunder he could
have possibly made. But artful Arthur
smiles sweetly and thinks of the 830,000
that he Is going to get for his share.
The fight between Johnson and Wells
will take place In the laat week of Sep
tember at the atadlum where the laat
Olymplo games were held. One of the
featurea of the match is that both Wells
and Johnson will each give a public train
ing exhibition - as Introduced In London
by Mcintosh, and from this a respectable
revenue Is anticipated, although neither of
the fighters will have any share in it
Johnson took no chances with the pro
moters. He kidded them Into the belief
that in meeting Wells he was going against
a more formidable antagonist than either
Burna or Jeffries, and unless the money
was safely lodged ha would not fight
Wella and Johnson met to sign the articles
and the separate agreementa each haa with
the syndicate. Wells signed almost at
once, but not Lll' Artha. He wanted to
see the color of tha money first, and the
syndicate's representative had to do some
hustling to post 210,000 that day. He even
tually got it and lodged It with the purse-
holder, the Sportsman, and Johnson signed
that evening.

Ofsearat
CHICAGO. Aag. JX-Packey McParland
may share tbe lightweight honors with Ad
Wolgast after tha fight ta Mlawaukea on
September 11 Wolgast has eaade the
match at a weight that will suit MacFar
land better than any propoaitloo over be
fore made to him by the champion, aad It
Is a eueetioa sew whether .tha local lad
will ba able to take ad rentage MtMSf
station and grab off a share of the hoaors
as a result. Many think he wiu. The
weight to ba 138 at I a'cloclt. which
means tbat Merer land will eater the ring
at about M7 pounds, while Wolgast will
hardly scale over 132 at the snost.
Can Wolgast afford to give awajf that
much weight ta a elever snaa like McFar
land 7 Ad thmks ha oan. but there are
many who tMnk he Is making a serious
mistake, tor McFarland Is a different claaa
boxer to what the champion has been meet
ing and he can also punoh when he haa hla
strength with him, not being sapped away
by making Impossible weights. It will
mean lota of hard work for McFarland to
make even 138 pounda at 8. but he can do
It and retain hla strength, according to
Manager Thlery. If that la the rase then It
will mean a hard proposition for Wolgast
to face,
McFarland and hla manager have eonstd- -ered
all these points beforehand. There Is no
doubt on that score, for when Packey was
asked through his manager to go ahead
with the proposed match with Matt Wells
he balked and said It would ba Irapossble
now, as ha had to post a forfet of 80,000
to guarantee a return match with Wolgast
over the long route. That got a to prove
that Wolgast, while being confident Is
taking no chancea on loalng In a no-decision
bout. He wants to be protected should tha
stock yard's boy put one over on him, as
he feels he Is Psckey'a master over the
long route, no matter how the short one
may terminate.
Looks for Easy Mone-y.
It Is McFarland' plan to grab off a few
weeks of easy stage money after the bout
with Wolgast, for he knows that If he
holda the champion even It will mean big
inducements irom me veuaevme or uur
lesque houses, and that Is the goal just
now. Manager Thlery not ' only expected
v. 1 m . u.lf Wnlv.,1 vn Kilt to apnra a
victory over him, a point decision that
none of the papers can deny him. After
that he will want a rest, for over the long
route he will be obliged to make 138 pounds
four hours before the contest, which will
be harder, 1 and It will mean extra hard
work to get down gradually so as to re
tain hla strength.
Packey knows that January 1 la a big
date for boxing showa on the coaat, and It
will not be surprising to hear of the two
meeting before Jimmy Cof froth's San
Francisco olub on the first of the new
year. Coffroth has offered Wolgaat a
guarantee of 817,000 for hla end and Mc
Farland 210.000, or 827,000 for the niatch.
and It aeems certain that the Frisco man
will land It, no matter how the bout In
Milwaukee may' turn out
Should Packey acora a knockout In Mil
waukee it would upaet i.a'.culatlona some
what but that would not cause tha coast
bout to fall, through It would simply re- .
verse matters, with McFarland drawing ,
down tha long end of the money and Wol
gaat the short end.
Although Wolgast realises that he will
have the worst of It In poundage, be Is
said to be the personification of confidence.
He cannot believe that McFrland'a skill
and science will keep him at bay.
"I will make McFarland box me the way
I want to, and when he atarts In at my
kind of game It will be a bad time for
Packey," aald tha champion. ''Packey does
not like body punches, and, believe me, I
ara going to pump 'em Into hla midsection
so hard and fast he will think a triphammer
la beating a tattoo on his stomach. I think
Packey will slow up when 1 begin to get at
him."
McFarland is equally aa confident regard
ing the outcome. He will rely on his speed
and skill to outpoint the champion, and
he declared that Wolgast will not land a
doseh clean blows on him throughout the
ten rounds.
"I have studied Wolgaat's atyle carefully,
and I realise that aa a wrestler and a tug
ger he la without an equal. Any boy who
tries to rough It with him will lose surely,
but I do not intend to let him draw m'e In
close," says McFarland. "Wolgaat can go
into hla shell and stay there for all of me.
When he covers up I will work on his
stomach and when ha opens , up I will be
there waiting for him. Wolgast fears the
result In spite of all hla boasta to tha con
trary. It he oea not why haa he forced
me to algn s greement to meet him In a
longer battU
the fall 7 W
coming to h.
he will gef

the Paclflo coast later In
