Although outbatted by a margin of 9 hits to 11, the Griffmen made use of all but two of their safeties, while only a pair of the Bostonian bingles alded them in any way other than fattening their averages, as 10 of the visitors were left perishing on the runways.

The Sox made menacing motions at Coveleskle right from the outset, | failing to get one or more men on the | base lines in but a single session— the third—but it was not until round, 7 that they were able to break the ice. Then, with Gaston laid away, Roth- rock singled over the midway in bat- ting for Welzer, and counted when Flagstead whaled to the limits in right center for three bases. Rice retrieved the ball and when he got off a poor throw Flaggy completed the circuit. This was finis for the Sox so far as runmaking was concerned, but they contrived to make the cash cus- | iomers a trifle uncasy in the final frame when they crowded all the corners with but one gone and their wrecking crew coming up. Gaston was dead when Bischoff, batting for Jtussell, who hurled impressively for the Hose in the last two frames, singled, and Flagstead drew a pass from the wabbling Coveleskie.

' Richards fought doggedly, forcing his oppofent to 30 games in the last set, which was ‘one of the mo history. The Richards-Feret match began’ yesterday. but had to be adjourned because of rain, when each had one set to his credit. Feret had won the first set at 6—3 and Richards the sec- ond at 6—4. In most of their long struggle today Richards had the edge on Feret, but in the pinches he could not get the winning point. Helen Wills, the California star, and Richards had little difficulty in defeat- ing the Krench team of Mlle. ‘Bour- geois and Rene Lacoste, 6—4, 6—3. s expected, Lacoste and Jacques Brugnon defeated Richards and How- ard Kinsey, 7—5, 8—86.. Mrs. Marion Zindersteln Jessup, after a hard match, won from Mile. Descleros of Erance, 6—T, 2—6, 4 There was a stiff_battle in the mix- °d doubles, which Eligabeth Ryan and Kinsey took from Mme.

Her tremen- dous service and smashing returns, which _were most effective in their cross cburt team play, ‘contributed largely to the victory. Although Lgcoste and Brugnon had been counted’ on to defeat Richards and Kinsey, the Americans gave them a hard struggie, Richards plaving in better form than in his grueiling set with Feret immediately preceding. In his third match of the day, that in which he was paired with Miss Wills, he displayed the tennis that has placed him among the foremost players in America. Miss Wills' appearance on the but suf- ficently effective to enable the Ameri- can pair to win in straight sets with comparative ease. Helen did not get her service working until late in the second set. She overdrove from the baseline, too.. But her volleying was forceful and accurate, and when she got the measure of the slow-bounding ball, her driving, especially from the backhand, became steady. The big matches for tomorrow, the last day of the tourney, are Feret against Kinsey; Lacoste against Rich- ards; Miss Wills against Mile. Mat- thieu, and Miss Ryan against Mlle. Charnelet.

The Cor- nell oarsmen, badly winded, came in a length behind Harvard, and Massa- chusetts Institute of ‘Technology was fourth, a length and a half back of the Ithacans. Harvard's freshman crew won. com- ing over the finish line a length and a half of open water ahead of Navy plebes. Cornell, rowing raggedly, fin- ished nearly four open lengths be- hind the Midshipmen. N The senior event developed into a contest between the Crimson and Cor- nell's untried crew. The big Red crew drove away at the starting signal at |2 high stroke and pulled steadily ahead, until at the half mile the Ithacans were almost a.boat length in the lead. Navy and Technology were coasting along bow and bow, and Har- vard “was slightly in the rear. the Crimson maintaining the lowest stroke of the four. At the half mile the Navy raised its beat smoothly and crept up, cutting down - the Cornell advantage as the high stroke told on the Ithaca oars- men. Relentlessly, as the Navy shell approached the finish line, the beat went higher and higher. and it had reached higher than 40 when the hoat rvai sprinted past Cernell in the final half mile, and for a brief period appearing to threaten the lead- ers. Technology weakened in the last rt of the course and finished three lengths behind Cornell. The, Navy's time was 10 minutes 18 seconds. VIRGINIA LEAGUE. ~ Norfolk, 9-3: St. Petersburg. 2-4.

He had Simpso: morning round was completed. Four down at the start of the) afterncon, Simpson finally cracked at the ninth, and Sweetser pressed forward to clinch his triumph at the | | thirteenth green. The defeat uf Simpson, while not | unexpected, was u blow 1o hopes of | golf-loving Britishers. who felt that their representative in the final round had come through the event by too | easy a route. Britons were the first | to concede Sweetser's deserved tri- | umph, however—the result of con- sistent play, which became brilliant | at frequent periods and which stood the test of several hard-fought battles in the early rounds, includfhg a sen- sational struggle with his own team- { mate, Francis Oulmet. Victory Noisily Celebrated. The only feature about winning the championship that Sweetser did not seem to enjoy was living up to the British custom of being hoisted on the shoulders of -friends and admir- ers after his victory. 3 The crowd of enthusiastic Scots lwho shouldered Sweetser on the last green put him down after a few min- utes, but a group of Americans led | by Dr. W. W. Rixey of Princeton, | W. Va., holsted him up again. They | carrfed him through the crowds to the clubhouse a quarter of a mile away. 3 “This s worse than riding on a camel,” the new champion said, “Please let me down. Remember, I've got to play all next week at St. An- drew’s.” . But the Americans, carrying him would not listen to his plea. and Sweetser rode triumphantly, if un- comfortably, to the very door of the clubhouse. ; For an hour the palatial building rang with cheering and for the flrsli | | time in the long history of the an- cient golf club here the rooms re- sounded with real “barber shop har-| mony.” “Sweet Adeline” and “The, Sidewalks of New York" were the two favorites of the. celebrants of Sweetser’s victory. Tourney a Remarkable One.. The conclusion of the tournament| in & triumph for the young N | York banker, who had been reluctant to interrupt his business career for the invasion, terminated what in many respects was the most remark- able British championship ever staged. More than a score of Americans entered, including ail eight members of the Walker Cup team. It was the best chance America ever had to come through yith a long-sought vic-| tory, vet one after another of the American contingent fell. With them also fell the men on whom Great Britain chiefly pinned her hopes, in- cluding Rebert Harris, Cyril Tolley, Maj. Hezlet, Sir Ernest Holderness. Roger Wethered and other players of international fame. When the sixth round came yester- only two—Bobby Jones, Amer- amateur champion, and Sweet- ser—were ‘left of the big American field. And it was Sweetser, not Jones, as seemed most likely, who proved to be the man to carry America’s stand- ard and finally wrest the much-de- sired trophy from British hands. Bears Responsibility Well.. And well, indeed, did ‘Sweetser bear the responsibility. Coming through the semi-finals yesterday by cleanly defeating the picturesque London Irishman, V. H. Brownlow, in a thrilling 21-hole battle, he outdid him- self today by his clean-cut perfofm- ance in the 36-hole test. His power- ful delving was ever in evidence, while his irons seldom failed him. On the greens he was safe and sure, although | seldom brilliant. i For his opponent, the cavernous bunkers, with which the course 1is thickly spotted, yawned for many shots and penalized him cruelly, He was caught in the jaws of one of them at the twelfth, and. after failing to escape in two shots, gave up the hole. At the thifteenth, another trap caught his tee shot, and although he came out perfectly with a niblick and holed a long putt, for a par 3, all the good it did him' was to make the score 6 and 5, instead of 7 and 6. He was dormie 6 at that point, and only miraculous golf could have saved him from defeat at the hands of the machine-like Sweetser. ‘There was unprecedented ' enthus- fasm when Sweetser won on the thirtéenth. Crowds rushed to con- gratulate him, for a good golfer is a good golfer with these Scottish crowds, s b ‘Weather Throughout Is Ideal. The champiopship was throughout under ideal weather con- ditiond.
