THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG Tuesday, August 17, 1926. MISS TAYLOR WON IN SPECTACULAR MATCH Defeated Miss Macphail for Singles Championship King= ston Tennis Club. The long-awaited match between 3 Miss K. Macphail and Miss Taylor of f the Kingston Tennis Club, for the ladies' singles championship was played on Monday afternoon and was Won by Miss Taylor by the score of 6-3, 6-1, Had it been known that J players were to play off the 2 (ved Monday afternoon, there would "have been a larger gallery, for great Interest was centred in this section "of the Kingston Tennis Club tourna- ment. Although defeated, Miss Macphall made many brilliant shots and de- served a better fate than the scores she got. She retrieved the ball many times at the back line when it seemed ble for her to come near it her returns after tricky shots had been sent over by Miss Taylor 'Were at times very spectacular. Of the two, Miss Taylor was much the cooler player and to this fact can be accounted much for the success of her victory. In the first set Miss Tay- lor took the first game but the next three were taken by Miss Macphail but then she faltered and Miss Tay- lor swept into the lead. : In the second set Miss Macphatl ) Was over anxious in her service and several times she committed double faults which, of course, gave her op- { ponent big leeway. Mise Taylor | showed better control in the second "Set and her shots were more deadly and more'difficult for Miss Macphail J 'With the score 5-1 for Miss Taylor dn the second set, Miss Macphail made a better stand and threatened 10 make a comeback. The sixth game of the set that made the score 5-1 was a particularly exciting finish and in the last game, which gave Miss Taylor the set, 6-1, Miss Mac- - phail made a stand but Miss Taylor came through again and gathered in necessary points to give her the @ and set. It was an exciting contest although the firet set was much more interest- ing than the second. Miss Taylor, by her victory, won the ladies' singles championship of the Kingston Ten- is Club WHY OT LIGHT UP WN TENNIS COURTS? In This Way Local Players Could Enjoy More of This Sport. It would seem that the question might very properly be asked, why mot light up tennis courts at night in the same way that bowling greens are lighted up? In this way it would be possible to play for two or three more hours or for that matter dur- ing the whole twenty-four hours of the day, it anyone wished. Hockey, bowling and curling are nearly always played 'under artificial * light, and there seems to be no logi- cal reason In the world why tennis should not enjoy equal advantages. It is possible that the day will come when rugby football games are play- 'ed under the glare of powerful light, but the handling of high fliss will make any such janovation impossible in the case of baseball. At any rate, Players who have only a com- atively small space to light up, d begin wondering' why they id finish a game in gloom so 86 that it is practically impossible See the ball, while perhaps only a hundred feet from them bowl- really don't get into the game until after the sun has gone down. ema i WON RYAN OUP.

The fans who witnessed the game Monday evening, are of the opinion that the City Midgets will give the Ottawa team a g00d run in the play- offs, They put up a husky defence against the stronger Victorias, and were on the go all the time. The Dark Horses are making fine progress, under the careful coach- ing of Howard Reid, who took. over the team recently. Howard is strong on team play and the effect of his work is very noticeable in the playing of the young champions. It was the combination working ot they team as a whole, that nearly won the game for them. The financial report of the game last night shows that the response was not up to expectations. The crowd was a large one, and if all had helped, the results would, have been satisfactory. Fronfenac Regiment received a rude awakening, when they were badly beaten by the Tile-workers last night. They have been loafing on the job, and now they will have to "pep it up" in order to be in condition for the game with Peterboro 'this Saturday, The golfers are having a big season. The competition for the beauti- ful British Consols Trophy will be played Wednesday, at the Cataraqui Golf and Country Club, sented at the event, which promises to be very interesting. Numerous Eastern Ontario Clubs will be repre- The battle will start at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, playing 18 holes before noon, and 18 holes after noon. The golfers also like the social side of life, and a dance will be held in the evening, for visiting clubs and local members. George Burns, of Cleveland, has an excellent chance to hang up a new major league record for two-baggers in a single season, In the first 100 games Burns pushed out 44. He needs but 26 more to beat Speaker's high mark established in 1923. Losing more games than yon win, but still leading your-league in ef- fectiveness is something a bit out of the ordinary in the major leagues. Yet that's just the experience that came Stanley Covéleskie's way in 1923. That season Covey while hurling for Cleveland won 13 tilts, Josing 14 for a percentage of .481. Obviously, in the won and lost column he ranked far down the list. the field. He worked 33 games allowing but 2.76 earned runs In' effectiveness, however, the former Speakerite topped per fracas. It looks like Hazen Cuyler, Pirate star, may this season realize his am- bition to lead the National League in base stealing. Cayler during the past few weeks has been piling up his count. second to Carey, his teammate. In 1924 and 1925 he finished Fielding H. "Hurry Up" Yost, veteran football coach at thé Univer- sity of Michigan, has entered the movie field. Yost is directing the gridiron scenes in Richard Dix's new picture, "The Quarterback."

VICTORIAS WON GAME WITH DARK HORSES Defeated Midget League Team By a Score of § to 4, In the exhibition game between the Dark Horses, of the Midget Lea- gue, and the Victorias, of the Junior League, at the Cricket Field, Mon- day evening, the Juniors had a stiff game to win by the score of 5-4, the Midget champions -"showing them up" in many parts of the game. The playing of both teams was commendable, but the Midgets being the younger and less experienced players, drew the attention of the fans more than did the playing of the other boys.. The Vigs, however, can play far better than they did last night, and if they expect to go fa¥ in the play-offs they will need to im- prove considerably. The younger team started the game going, getting their first run in the second inning, and holding the Vics down until the third, when they let them up for three runs. They immediately came back with two more runs, however, to tie the game. With Quigley on third, BlMot knock- ed a three-bagger, scoring Quigley and later coming in himself. "A mistake occurred in the fourth, on the part of the Dark Horses, when with two out, they walked in, think- ing the inning was over, and Gray trotted in for a run. The Vies got another run in the sixth inning, put- ting them two ahead of the Midgets, In the sixth Elliot on second, put across a nice double play, unaided. The finally managed to drag in another run fn the eighth, bring- ing the score up a little closer, but the game was called as it was getting SOFTBALL! | Brockville "Nomads" vs. Frontenac Regt. Wednesday, 6.45 p.m. too dark to play. The work of Steve Amey, behind the plate for the Dark Horses, was very good. He had a nice throw to second base, which helped a great deal. He injured his finger in 'the seventh, and was replaced by Grat- ton, who also showed some good playing. Young Matheson, pitching for the Midgets, had the older play- ers guessing for quite a while. He slackened in the fourth inning, but immediately caught up again, and held them down til} the end of the game. The team work ¢o.back the pitcher was especially noted, and this will go far to win the games for them in the play-offs. If they can show the class at Ottawa that they had last night, they are sure of getting some- where. They need financial support to play at these outside places, and it is up to the fans, who enjoy seeing them play, to help.

Although Maurice Archdeacon has been regarded as the fastest man in baseball, Toronto fans are inclined to believe that Archdeacon would have the time of his career getting away from Herman Layne.

However, he has apparently "arriv- ed," and the Pirate scouts have been greatly impfes With his work. Layne is batting at a .354 rate. He has made 143 hits, has scored 74 runs and has made 6 homers. He is a fast man on the bases or in the outfield, and Manager Howley be- lieves that he will make the grade in the National League.
