Strachan, Clever Californian, s 5 is Downed After Sensational Four Set Battle—Winner to Meet Niles. Forest Hills, L. I, Aug. 25.—Rob- ert Lindley Murray is within sight of his tennis goal. While the heavens rumbled a paean of victony and light- | ning streaks mingled with the scin- tiflating flashes of his speed at For- est Hills yesterday afternoon Murray defeated John R. Strachan of Cali- fornia and advanced into the final of the national singles. The transplant- ed Native Son lost the first set, but recpvered quickly and impressively gathered in the next three sets and the match. The score was 4—%6, This afternoon at 3:30 o’clock Mur- ray faced Nathaniel W. Niles of Bos- ton in the match which in past years carried the American championship. In this tournament of- surprises Niles must be granted a chance, but on form he hardly appears to class with his rival. Ever since he made his first pilgrimage to the east Murray has had his eyes on the outermost bracket in the national singles. That his- great opportunity should have come in a year when championship competition was put in abevance is rather unfortunate, but Murray re- jolces nevertheless. Both Murray and Strachan have been hailed as the new comets—suc- cessors to Maurice E. McLoughlin in that most expressive of tennis cogno- mens. Yesterday Murray proved that If & new comet we are to have, he is better entitled to the honor. apothosis of speed, apostle of daring and master of efficlency he far ex- celled Strachan and move than any- body else in the tournament ap- proached the once invincible Loughlin FOSTER OUT FOR AWHILE, Chicago, Aug. ° Eddie third haseman with the Americans, who coilapsed before the xame here Thursday probably will be unable to play for several days, it was said today.

Annapolis, Aug. 25.—Football and i all other sports will be resumed at the Naval Academy upon an inter- collegiate basis under permission re- ceived from Secretary of the Navy Daniels yesterday morning. The determination to lift the war- time embargo placed on the athletic events at the Academy and to allow the young sailors to compete with other teams was reached after it had been recommended to the department at Washington by Superintendent Ed- ward W. Eberle of the Naval Acad- emy and one of the most enthusiastic believers in sports ever in charge there. Whether the football season will wind up with the annual interservice struggle between the midshipmen and West Point depends entirely upon whether or not Secretary of War Ba- ker follows. Mr. Daniels’ lead and allows the Army cadets to take up sports during the war. With their team badly smashed by recent graduations, the sailors are not disheartened. Steps were at once taken to secure coaches and to ar- range a new schedule, the dates al- ready signed up prior to the war hav- ,ing been cancelled some months ago. | CLOSED DOORS FOR GAMBLERS.
