Champion Ben Smith Hurls Buffaloes to 8-4 Victory Over St. Joseph in Second Game , , iThousaiids of Spectators, Stunned at Dramatic Collapse Of French Tennis Wizard,Stand Speechless as European Champion Is Assisted Off Courts Crying and Coughing Forest Hills. N. Y., Aug. 16. Mile. Suzanne Lenglen defaulted to Mrs. Molla Bjur stedt Mallory, United States champion, in their match today in the Women's National Tennis 'championship after Mrs. Mallory had won the first set, 6-2. At the close of the first game of the second set Mile. Lenglen was seized with a vio lent fit of coughing and walking over to a chair alongside the referee's stand announced her default to Mrs. Mallory. She was assisted off the courts crying and coughing while the 8,000 spectators, stunned at the dramatic collapse of the famous French champion, stood speechless. The physical collapse of Mile, holder of the world women s tennis cnampionsnip, lurnisnea a dramatic climax to the second round of the tournament on the courts of the West Side Tennis club here today. , The French racquet wizard who arrived in this country last Saturday heralded as the greatest exponent of the court game in the feminine domain, after being decisively defeated in her opening match against Mrs. Molla Bjur,stedt Mallory, collapsed in a chair alongside the referee's stand. Mile. Lenglen s sudden capitula-W- tion to a renewal of her attack ot bronchitis and the powerful and ag gressive play of Mrs. Mallory left a gallery of some 8,000 spectators stunned into absolute silence by the tragedy which took place on the green-turfed enclosure at their feet. The girl from Faris was undoubt edly the magnet which drew the ma jority of the spectators to the Forest Hills grounds. For several years followers of tennis the world over have been enthralled by tales of the marvelous play of the French woman. ' Visitors to the English courts at "Wimbledon, St. Cloud, near Faris. the Rivera and other continental tennis centers have returned to America with tales of the wonderful speed, stroking and almost mechani cal accuracy in placing possessed by Mile. Lenglen. In her own country she was and is as great a popular idol as Georges. Carpenticr. Today she fell from the pedestal of her particular game in a far more dramatic and decisive manner, per haps, than did Carpentier on July 2. Notwithstanding the known lack of practice due to her arrival in this country as late as Saturday, Suzanne was generally expected to give Mrs. Mallory a terrific battle with the odds in favor of victory due to her tournament record .at Wimbledon earlier in the summer. Jeanette Rankin Wins Sixth Race Philadelphia. Aug. 16. Jeanette Rankin scored her sixth winning race out of her evn starts this season, when she captured the $2,500 Bulls Head Bazaar stake, feature of the opening day's card of the fifth Grand Circuit meeting at the Belmont Driv ing club's mile track at Narberth, Pa.

Massey arrived in this world some 26 years ago, his parents al ready had his future planned. He should go to college and prepare to be a preacher or a college professor. His mother believed that the min istry offered an ideal field for her talented son, but father thought that the calling of a college professor was even more dignified. But all their planning went for naught. Fate had carved a different future. It so willed that he should be a base ball player. And base ball player he is today and a fairly good one. All of his early training may not have been in vain, however, for Mas sey spends much time reading and studying. He loves the masterpieces Prizes Totaling $5,0,00 to Be Awarded Winners in National Horsesho e Pitchers' Tourney Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16. Plans for the National Horseshoe Pitchers' tournament for the cham pionship of the world and the list of prizes for the meet to be held at the Minnesota state fair, September 7, 8 and 9, are announced by B. G. Leighton of this city, national presi dent. The tournament is under the auspices of the National Minnesota Horseshoe Pitchers' associations. Prizes totaling approximately $5,000 will be distributed to the win ners in the form of trophies and cash. In the men's tournament the total is expected to reach about $3,500, while $1,500 will be expended for trophies, and prizes for the vic tors in the women's tourney. First prize, which will go to the national champion, will be more than $500 in cash and trophies valued at several hundred dollars. Fifteen other awards will be made in the men's event and eight of the highest women pitchers will receive gifts. Players will be divided into groups cf eight, and each man in each group will match his skill against each other man in that group in one game, which will make a total of seven 50-point games. Two or three of the highest men jn each group will then draw places for another group of eight players and this process will be re peated until there are but 16 players left. Every one of the 16 will receive some trophy. Elimination contests then will be staged between these 16 until the championship is won. Number of games won and lost will decide the victor, and not the number of points scored. Men will play 50-point games on 40-foot courts while the women will heave at 30-foot distance pegs in 21-point games. Doubtful If French Champion Will Return to Fight Gibbons By FRANKE G. MENKE. It's doubtful if Georges Carpentier ever will come back to these parts to do battle with Tomasco Gibbons, slugging party of the first part from St. Paul. There's a reason one beyond the story of a fractured bone in the right hand, "which will not heal." At the time of his marriage the Frenchman is reported to have prom ised his bride that the tussle with Jack Dempsey, "win, lose or draw," would be the last of his career. This pleased Mrs. Carpentier immensely, because, even though she thinks Georges is the greatest mitt whirler in the world, she is opposed to fighting. She cannot get it out of her mind that the game is somewhat brutal and fraught with the peril of permanent harm to each and eery combatant including her husband. Those who profess to know the "inside and the outside" insist that Carpentier's wife was considerably displeased with the news' that he planned to return to America in the fall and attempt to take a few pot shots at the Gibbons boy. She is said to have argued rather vehement ly against it and to have reminded Georges of his promise that the Dempsey thing was to be the fare well. Too Much Money Now. It is a well established fact that Carpentier cannot gain much more lucre and a possible besting by taking on Gibbons. He now holds the light heavyweight championship of the world and by winning from Gibbons he could add no new crown to his diadem. If Gibbons whipped him it would take much prestige from the Frenchman, whcris if he mtlliaxa K.Ma$$ey of Shakespeare and enjoys prying into- musty volumes containing an cient history. Who knows but that this short stop of Barney Burch's herd of Buf faloes may, when too old to cavort on the diamond, don a frocktail coat and become a great exponent of the gospel, or even contort his face into one of those "faculty frowns" and become a college professor, just as "Dad" would have? Massey is a graduate from the University of Texas and got "mixed up" in base ball while a student, and base ball lost no time in claim ing him as its own. He was no sooner handed his pigskin from college than Cleveland offered him a contract. That wasin Besides play in the national tournament, a meeting will be held by members of the National Horse shoe Pitchers' association. National League of Horse and Quoit Pitchers' association, and National Horse shoe Pitchers of America associa tion, to iron out the many differ ences existing between the three or ganizations, Mr. Leighton declared. Each of the three organizations has at certain times put forth its claim as the national association recog nized in America, but because the National Horseshoe Pitchers' asso ciation has the most affiliated leagues, the other two groups have agreed to accept it as the national recognized body, according to President Leighton. Affiliated associations of the Na tional Horseshoe Pitchers' associa tion are: Minncota State Horseshoe Pitch ers' association; Buckeye Horjeshoe Pitching association of Ohio; Cali fornia State Horseshoe Pitchers' as sociation; Kansas State Horseshoe Pitchers' association; District of Columbia Horseshoe Pitchers' asso ciation; Indiana, Iowa and 'Missouri States Horseshoe Pitchers' associa tions; Aldine Horseshoe Pitchers' club, Chicago, and the Portage Park Horseshoe club, Chicago. President Harding is honorary president of the national association. Timekeeper in Famous Bare-Fisted Fight Dies New Orleans, La., Aug. 16. Alexander Brewster, time keeper in the famous bare fisted fight between Sullivan and Kilrain, and prominent ly identified with many of the sport ing events of the past, died yester day at the age of 89. won from Gibbons he wouldn't gain much as far as a return match with Dempsey is concerned. For no matter what Carpentier does in the future he will always be considered as outclassed by the "Utah Mauler." Carpenticr is quite comfortably fixed as far as money is concerned. Therefore he is in the position of gaining nothing but money for fight ing Gibbons and he has auout as much money as he will be able to spend. By fighting he may lose, surrender prestige and presumably incur the displeasure of his wife. So, it would seem that the story that Carpentier cannot keep his en gagement with Gibbons on the originally scheduled date "because of a bad hand" perhaps is a lead-up to a full cancellation of the notch and the complete retirement of Georges Carpentier from ring warfare in America at least. "Mike" Massey I WAHA 0 (MIL PlfMtH, 1915. He played part of the season with Cleveland, getting his baptism into organized ball in a major league uniform, a thing of which few players can. boast. He finished the season of 1915 in the American association and the following season saw him with the Mobile club in the Southern league. He was drafted that fall by Boston and played the infield on that team in 1917. In '18 he was released to the Texas league and played in the outfield. . He joined the Omaha club from that circuit. Massey is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds.' He bats left handed and throws right. He is among the select hitters in the league.

Wash ington will be the prattle grounds for diplomatic immigrants from France, Italy, Japan, Great Britain and China. Big brothers of the poor arguments will get together on Armistice day. Babble cry of peace will saturate acoustics. One word will lead to an other. Jap, Frenchman, Chinaman, Italian will all talk on peace at same time. As this is peaceful clinic, Washington police have been ordered not to use riot clubs. Everybody but diplomats knows that war is over. Three years ago kaiser beat his arms into plowshares andhls legs into Holland. Kaiser will not be present at peace choir rehearsal. Which is a gross slight to man who made conference possible. Affair at Washington will be diplomatteawan of peaceful dialects. Thunderous shower of kind words will moisten parched fields of am bassadorial brains. One word will lead to another. Finally Japan will agree to put more prosphorus on bum Japanese matches. Peace will settle silently over con ference, and diplomats will pick all the feathers out of her wings. Japanese statesman will spill peace eulogy in code, meaning that SO more cruisers are being launched in old Nippon. Sweet words will never take place of sugar in coffee. Finally diplomats will agree to leave peace conference up to board of arbitration. All foreign diplomats will then go on sightseeing tour to U. a. treasury to see how much monev we have left to borrow. Cvii nor St. Joseph, Aug. 16. Omaha again won from St. Joe today, 8 to 4.
