PLAY, LACKS BRILLIANCY 'flTen Thousand Spectators Are Disap pointed in Match Westerner Makes Fewer Errors and Loses by Small Margin. : FOREST HILLS, N. T., Sept. 5. For the second time in his short career on American courts. R. Norris William II, of Philadelphia, -won the National turf pintles championship at the "West Side Club here this afternoon when he de feated William M. Johnston. of .San Francisco, the 1915 champion, in a live-set match, 4-6, 6-4, 0-6, 6-2, 6-4. The match was hardly up to the tennis expected from these two masters of racquet and court. The gallery of 10,000 spectators looked for a wonder ful and thrilling exhibition from the two s-irvivors of the 128 entrants who started play here more than a week ago. There was lacking the sensation el fighting of the ball which was so marked in the Murray-Church contests. Occasionally one of the players would Fwbg into his best tennis and for a few moments the play would sparkle with beautifully executed drives, smashes and lobs. Flayijiic Lackl Vim Then, as if fearful, they would cur tail their forceful stroking of the ball and proceed to throw away point after point by the most amateurish errors. Such advantage as Williams had came from his taking the greater chances and his -ability to stroke the ball closer to the danger point than Johnston. Added to this was the victor's greater physical stamina, which aided him as the contest progressed. The atmosphere wa. racner humid and more favoiable to Williams than t6 Johnston, who is accustomed to the cool air of the Pa cific Coast. A careful analysis of the play shows that while Williams ran far ahead of Johnston in his ability to score both service and placement aces, he piled up many more errors than the San Franciscan. There were but four points difference in the totals of the two players at the end of the match and they already tied in the number of games, won. Johnston Takn Lead. From the first they started in a slow and deliberate manner. In the ma jority of cases an error gave the point away. Williams, in winning the title for the second time since lie came to this country in 1912 from Switzerland. fought his way through the present iNauonai championship tournament from the first round and figured in seven matches, 25 sets and 217 games. John ston's record for the tournament was seven matches, 23 sets and 203 games. In the first set games went with service until the ninth game, when Johnston took the lead and ran out. Conditions almost were reversed in the second, and then Williams dropped the third at love by his inability to control his strokes, while Johnston was able to pick opening after opening for points. The tide really turned in the fourth set when Williams played with the dash and vim which usually character izes his game. Forehand and back hand, he was supreme. He forced Johnston to keep constantly on the run. For the first time in the contest the rallies were long and hard fought, but the Easterner usually wound up by forcing an opening for a shot with which Johnston could not connect. Johnston Loses Stamina. At the opening of the fifth set John pton set Williams a pace which he could not match for a time. Johnston slashed and whipped the ball to Will lams so fast that the latter tempo rarily went to pieces. It was not until three games had been lost that Williams finally held himself in check. The strain, was be ginning to tell on Johnston and al though Williams was taking greater chances and stroking the ball more effectively, his chief maneuver ap peared to be to keep Johnston, working hard with the idea of eventually tiring him. Gradually the latter began to weaken. The gallery, with which Williams was a decided favorite, cheered as he began to run up the points and there was a remarkable demonstration when Will lams made the score three-all. He ran through the next two and took, a com manding lead. End Is Thrilling. Spectators were beginning to leave the stands as Johnston started his final rally and there was a hurried re turn to seats when the titleholder completed the ninth game and was within one of making it deuce. The opening of the 10th found the specta tors on edge and after Williams had thrown away several apparently easy points and the game had gone to deuce, both men and women shrieked with excitement at the winning and losing of each point. Deuce was called four times' at this point before Williams went to vantage with a sharp backhand cross-court placement ace and Johnston gave up the title by netting the next service. There was a wild yell from the gal lery which swarmed out onto the turf, but not until Johnston had leaped over the net shaking hands and congratulat ing Williams. The pair disappeared into the clubhouse arm in arm. MILWAUKEE WANTS BIG SHOOT Wisconsin City Makes Bid for Next Grand American Handicap. Milwaukee, Wis., wants the grand American trapshooting tournament for 1917. So does Toledo, O. By the time the interstate association holds its an nual meeting in December to award tournaments, there may be a half dozen other cities in the field for the trap shooting classic. The grand American handicap always has been successful in the Middle West, and as long as it is successful in that section the interstate association will hardly move it. There is no good rea son why the tournament would not be successful in the East, it is pointed out, but none of the Eastern organizations ever bid for it. Chicago and St. Louis are central points within 24 hours' ride of one-half the population of the country and therefore these cities have the bulge on all others who apply for the tourna ments.

Coach Hugo Bezdek, of the University of Oregon football team, is home from Chicago. He has little to say about "prospects" for a champion eleven. "I know that there axe lots of people who are anxiously watching the Oregon football outlook," he said, "but my ex perience has taught me that mere pros pects in football are not to be depended upon. "At the present time, it is possible that all of my old men will be back with the exception of one, but I can tell more about it after the game has been called." Practice for the Oregon squad'will begin Tuesday, September 12, one day after the opening of college. In accord ance with a ruling that governs all of the schools in the Northwest and elim inates the training camp. CLUB TEXXIS TEAMS TIED Matches Between Oregon City and Mllwaukie Players Are Fast.

Murray, of Mllwaukie, the scores of the match being 0-6, 11-9, 6-4. In the first set the Milwaukie player far outclassed the local player, not al lowing him a single game.

Friar Rock's Racing Days Over. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Followers of the turf were surprised and somewhat disappointed today by the announce ment that Friar Rock, the famous 3-year-old, is not to be raced again. John E. Madden, who last week bought the Rocksand colt from August Belmont for J50.000, declared that he will send the horse to the Hamburg Place breed ing farm in Kentucky. It had been expected that Friar Rock would be en tered in the Realization stakes at Bel piont Park jiext Saturday, f . BOBBY VAUGHN TO JOIN LOS ANGELES Beaver infielder, Under Option to McCredies, to Be Shifted Soon. BROWNS . TO MAKE DEAL Angela Also to Buy Pitcher Crandall, ow With Oaks Stumpf Ar rives From South Dick Nelson Joins Beavers. Bobby "Vaughn may be a member of the Los Angeles club within a few days. Judge McCredie was advised yes- tesday by the owners of the St. Louis American League club that they wished to sell the little infielder to Los An geles for immediate delivery and asked the Portland owner's permission. The notice to the Portland magnate also said that they intended to have Oakland transfer Pitcher Otis Crandall to Los Angeles at once. Judge McCredie advised Branch Rick ey, of the Brown Sox. that if he thought he would be benefited by the transfer of Vaughn to Johnny Powers' crew to go ahead and that Portland would not object. Now all that remains for the switch is word from St. Louis saying that the deal is closed. Both Vaughn and Otis Crandall are with the Portland and Oakland clubs. respectively, under options. Vaughn holds a Federal League wartime con tract calling for $3000 for this season. Although arV of this salary is not paid him by Portland, he is high-priced enough and the McCredies don't mind seeing him go. It is thought that he will leave here within a couple of days as Chance needs a shortstop badly. It is thought also that Oakland will not kick much at losing Crandall as the Acorns are out of the race. "We haven't much of a chance to catch up with Los Angeles or Vernon and it we can do St. Louis a good turn, we might as well." is the way Man ager Walter McCredie puts it. Bill Stumpf called on Judge Mc Credie yeBterday and the Portland prexy" induced Bill to take a trip with him to the Wlnino Hot Springs, near Eugene, which are owned by the local magnate. Judge McCredie is going there at the conclusion of this week's scries. Dick Nelson, University of Oregon first baseman, dropped into Judge Mc- Credie's office yesterday and announced that he would be out for practice with the Mackmen today. He weighs 198 pounds and is about the size of Louis Guisto. Nelson played with Weed, Cai., against McCloud last Sunday and Mon day. The big La Fayette boy was with Klamath Falls before Joining Weed where he hit the ball for fair. Herb Kelly announced yesterday that he intended to re-enter Notre Dame University this year, and that if he did he wanted to leave the Beavers before the close of the season. Judge McCredie told him that he could go if he wished to resume his studies and that he could report next Spring after his school term was over. . Dr. Leslie Clough, trainer of the Beavers, will not accompany the team South. He will take up his duties as physical director or the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club September 18, and will look after a few miscellaneous affairs between Sunday night and the time for the classes to open. .'. Hal Williams, the Montana recruit southpaw, will join the Beavers Sep tember 26. Pitchers Bickey Williams, Alexander, and Hartman will not be recalled by the Beavers from the Tacoma club of the Northwestern League. WAIVERS ASKED 2 DAYS AGO Rickey Confirms Report and Ex pects Deal to Bo Made. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 5 (Special.) In fielder Bobby Vaughn, of Portland, and Pitcher Otis Crandall, of Oakland, were offered to the Los Angeles club, of the Pacific Coast League, about two days ago, according to Branch Rickey, vice president of the St. Louis Browns. In response to a telegram from Port land tonight asWng him what he knew of the sale of the two players to Los Angeles, Rickey responded that he had not heard that the deal had been com pleted. "I suppose, though," said Rickey, "that it is one of those many cases in which the minor league club gives the newspapers tne news before notifying the major league club concerned. It is rather a breach of baseball eitquette, but it is being done often. I suppose the deals have been put through, and certainly hope we receive word tc that effect tomorrow." Rickey said that the Browns asked waivers on Vaughn and Crandall and several other players two days ago. "The Los Angeles club was to have first chance, and probably has ac cepted," said Rickey. Neither Vaughn nor Crandall were used much by the Browns, and it has been expected for some time that they would be sold to some other club. Rickey did not name any of the other players on whom waivers have been asked, but he intimated that' some are from the Coast League.
