P HILADELPHIA, September 11.—The clinching victory for America’ possession of the Davis Cup for the sixth year in a row was in sight today, as a result of two sensational victories yesterday by Bill Tilden over Jean Borotra and Bill Johnston against Rene La Coste, but the memory of the courageous challenge of these gallant Frenchmen promi Franc cide the Americ s virtually certain de: sue, with R. cup combination, opposi France wins this afternoon at the Germantown Cricket Club, victory in Norris Williams and Vincent Richards, a to find a lasting spot in international tennis history.

Then the “Bounding Basque,” by means of re- peated sallies into the fore court, each of which brought a placement or a kill, broke once more through the delivery of the national champion. Only the winning of his own service | stood between him and the match tri- umph and the gallery felt sure that result was about to happen. But | once more “Big BIll" staved off im- | periding defeat.

Service resumed winning once more and continued so to do until the set stood 8—7 in Tilden's favor. Borotra was well on his way to win the six- teenth game on service and again square the set. Two volleyed place- ments gave him a lead of 30-love and | his next delivery was sent into the | net by Tiiden for what appeared to be | another point for Borotra. But Tilden called “fault” after striking the bail | and asked that the sphere be exam- ined. The ball was found to be a “dub.” The umplre called the play “let” and | this decision seemed to upset the | Frenchman, who promptly got in trou | ble with a double fault and ultimately | lost the game and with it the set, 7 { games to 9. Thus the match was once more squared at two sets all. Borotra, apparently realizing the end | for him was not far off, made a gal- {lant effort to carry the day in the | fifth set, leading at 2 to 0, after break- ing through Tilden's service in the first game. The American wizard then rushed through the next three games |at “love” as he whipped his shots into | every section of the Frenchman’s court.

The match between Johnston and Ta Coste was marked by cleaner and driving. The Californian | was keenly on edge and from the start he ‘was plowing furrows in the opposing court with his powerful fore. | handers. La Coste fought desperately and carried the score to deuce in four but he could not prevail Johnston's onslaught. The d set was the same story and in v half an hour Johnston took games, exact | the two of them. In the third set, Johnston began to [tire and lose control while La Coste played better tennis as the match pro- Kressed. La Coste broke through in the thirteenth game after Johnston had led at 30—0 and won the four- | teenth for the set with an exhibition { of volleying that was as brilliant as | Johnsto Johnston got away to a good start in the fourth set, which found both players driving in furious fashion, and brought the match to an end in the sensationalninth game with a backhand volley.

Another reason for night feeding, | espectally in very hot weather, is that | the fish food, such as minnows and parasites as well as other marine life, remains inactive during the sunny part of the day. Fishing for bass at night is best done with lures treated with luminous paint, but any light lure, and even white flies, may be used successtully Moonlight nights are best, and you will find the bass very close to shore, sometimes in water so shallow that you can see their dorsal fins cutting the water as they chase food. A friend of mine does almost all of his trout fishing at night in midsum- mer. He makes fine catches on streams where others, who fish by day, have little luck. The wall-eyed pike is the finest ex- ample of a night-feeding fish. In fact, his eyes are so large—from which he gets his name—he can see read- lily at night. The walleyed is primarily a night feeder, and is espe- cially active in the Fall of the year in the lakes, when the frogs come down from the swamps to hibernate for the Winter..

After the rest period the champion came out in spiked shoes. SEMI-FINALS ARE ON IN WOMEN’S TENNIS Frances Walker and Mrs. Loulse Stambaugh will meet Frances Krucoff and Maycita De Souza in the semi- final round of the doubles in the Wom- en’s District Tennis League tourna- ment this afternoon on the Columbia Country Club courts at 4 o'clock. At 4:30 Luise Kelley and Corinne Frazier will oppose Sarah and Jennie Doolittle on the same courts. The win- ners of this match will play Mary Hall and Jessie Edmondson in the lower half of the semi-final bracket tomor- row afternoon. Miss Walker and Mrs. Stambaugh advanced to the semi-finals yesterday by virtus of their marathon victory over Clara Cook and Mrs. Thorpe. The victors lost the opener at 6—4 and ral- lied just in time to save the match by taking the next set at 6—3. The third set was won only after a desperato struggle, which seemed at one time about to result in victory for the Cook- Thorpe combination. The Krucoff-De Souza combination eliminated Edith Petrle and Dorothy Kingsbury {n two sets, 6—2, 6—38. The combination of drives and lobs pro- duced by the winnipg pair proved too much for the less experienced team. MISSES JACOBS-FRANCIS IN GIRLS’ TENNIS FINAL PHILADELPHIA, September 11 (#). —For the second successive year, Miss Helen Jacobs of California and Miss Alice Francis of Orange, N.

Her rival of today was equally bril- liant against Miss Loulse Slocum of Boston, racing away, 6—0 and 6—2.

THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS BY WILL H. DILG, President Izaak Walton League of America. IKE human beings of the present age, many kinds of fish do most of their high living after dark. Bass fishing at night is being prac- ticed more and more by anglers who have studied his habits. contended that the really big ones feed almost entirely at night. it is pointed out, is because the larger a bass—or any other fish. more easily he is seen from above the water; thus he ventures out mostly It is This, , the shallow water. In the daytime he is found only in the deepest and darkest pools as & rule. There is a definite fascination to night fishing. Even when there is no moon there is a thrill to casting a fly into pools as black as ink, to hear the rise of the fish without seeing it and having to depend on a delicate sense of touch for the proper time to strike. In the moonlight it is great sport to watch the small-mouth or the trout break water in the moonbeams, send- ng silver spray into the air. RADIATORS, FENDERS wit T ATRS R & b, W 310 13TH T.
