Williams National
Tennis Champion
September seems to be the allotted
month for the finals in tennis, golf,
and really the end of baseball, except
for the championship series, and at
the same time the beginning of foot
ball.
The national tennis championship
has been played with Richard Norris
Williams, of Philadelphia, the cham
pion. By defeating William Johnson,
of California, Williams became the
national tennis champion for the sec
ond time. The games which marked
the close of the tournament were won
by Williams over Johnson by the
scores of 4-6, 6-4, 0-6, 6-4 and 6-4.
Judging from reports of the games
Williams was not at his best, nor was
he tried out and in the finals simply
let Johnson tire himself out. The
climatic conditions were possibly
against Johnson, who at his best is
not a physical giant and in the final
games played a careful and conserva
tive game, taking two setas out of the
five.
By winning next year Williams will
come in possession of the coveted cup.
McLaughlin, a two-time winner, was
eliminated early in the tournament
and was a disappointment to his sup
porters.
“CHICK” EVANS RETAINS
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Charles Evans, Jr., of the Edge
water club, of Chicago, won the ama
teur golf championship by defeating
his fellow townsman, Robert A. Gard
ner, of the Hinsdale club, 4 up and 3
to play.
Evans, already holder in the open
championship, which he won at Min
neapolis in June, is the first player in
either America or England to capture
both national titles in the same year.
BRAVES’ PAYROLL IS
LARGEST IN LEAGUE
The Boston National league club
does not exploit the fact in the papers,
but nevertheless the Braves’ payroll is
the largest in either major league.
Percy D. Haughton, Harvard’s foot
ball coach, pulls down a big salary as
president to represent the wealthy
Boston Vfren associated with him in the
ownership.
Then there is George Stallings,
who is, with the exception of John
McGraw, the highest-priced manager
in baseball.
This last spring Stallings signed a
five-year contract at $18,000 a year.
Johnny Evers is said to be pulling
down $10,000, while Konetchy, ranking
next among the players, is good for
$9,000. The entire pay roll for the
season is probably very close to $150,
000, or $12,500 every semi-monthly
pay day during the six months of the
championship season.

INTEREST CENTERS ON
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
By winning again over St. Louis in
Tuesday’s game the New York Giants
have set a high record mark that will
not be passed or even equaled for
some time to come. This makes the
Giants’ 22nd consecutive victory and
stands unparalleled in baseball his
tory. However, the spurt came too
late to put them in better than fourth
place and will hardly pass Boston or
Philadelphia, who are also winning
consistently.
Brooklyn won again over the Cubs
| and Boston took a double-header from
j Pittsburg. There were no games
scheduled in the American and now all
interest is centered on the champion
ship games. Brooklyn stock has tak
en a rise but Boston is still the favor
ite in the championship series.
