In the semi final of the ngles it required fve sets of the hardest kind of vlay by Fottrell to defeat the Japanese. The scores were 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 in favor of Fottrell but the mateh was carried over a day on account of darkness when Fottrell led at two sets to one with the fourth 5-2 games in favor of Kumagae. This unfinished set was thrown out the next day and the Japanese won the play over at 6-4 Had he received credit for his overwhelming lead of the preceding day he would have undoubtedly won the match and met Johnston in the final. As it was Kamagae, with N~ mu for a partner, gave Johnston Fottrell another hard battle in fina] of the doubles although their lack of team work was a heavy handi- cap against the clever play of the Americans and they were defeated , 6-4, 6-2.

Easy For Americans. The University of Chicago baseba team, which as just returned from & tour of the Far East, has better suc- cess with the bat than Griffin had with the racquet. While in the Land of Nippon the Maroon nine played 10 games against Waseda and Keio Uni- versity teams and won them all, scor- ing a total of 48 runs to 10. All told Chicago played twelve games in Japan winning one against the All Americans by a score of 20 0 and the other by 5 to 1 from the All-Japan team. majority of the contests with the banese collegians resulted in shut-out victories for the Maroon players. The entire trip is considered to be one of the most s cessful ever made by a middle western university nine. Out of a total of forty-one games played, thirty-three were won, seven lost and one tied Fifteen games were played with Far Western and Pacific Coast teams; s in Hawaii; twelve in Japan and eight in the Phillipines.
