WlilBLEDOS, July 26. As the result
of today's vlotory by; Maurice E. Mc
Loughlin, of San Francisco, and Harold
H. Hackett, of New York, over H. R.
Bassett and C. P. Dixon in the doubles
match, the-United. States team leads by
two matches to one In the struggle for
the Dwight F. Davis lawn tennis trophy
and requires only one- more' victory in
the two remaining singles matches to
carry off the cup.
The match went to Its fullest extent
of five sets, of which the Americans
took three to their opponents' two, the
score reading 5-7, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4.
The English defenders, who began to
play tenis together when McLoughlin
was still In his knickerbockers, tried
all the wiles- of. which- they are mas
ter, but without avail.
McLaughlin Recovers Form.
McLoughlin had recovered his- form
and lost only one of his service games.
Unce Hackett played' the game, which
his opponents liked, by feeding them
low volleys at the net, where the Eng
lish veterans formed an: absolute stone
wall. They made every possible return
to Hackett; recognizing Jr. him the
weak link in the American- defense.
AlthougH often tempted, McLoughlin
did not poach - on- hls partner's pre
serves, often heroically allowing Him to
take the overhead balls which he him
self loves to smath. Toward- the end of
the match Hackett became more sure in
his volleys and lobs, which had been
falling short before.
McLoughlin smashed' his racquet in
the fourth set andthe Britons-were ad
vancing within a point of winning the
set and match, but the Californian
never faltered and' pulled his own serv
ice out of the fire.
If the draw ls adhered to for the sin-"
gles t-o be played on Monday, McLough
lin will face Charles P. Dixon, who
was defeated by Williams in Friday's
match, while the young Harvard player
will be sent against John C. Parke,, who
took the Callfornian's measure Friday.
Neither of the- Americans has, either In
the present series or In the all-England
championship this year, played
against his opponent in the singles
match to be contested Monday.
Barrett's Knee Strained.
Barrett was suffering from a strained
knee and had a slight limp, which, how
ever, was not serious enough to Inter
fere greatly with his play.
The Callfornian's smashing and ter
rific service had the spectators on their
feet several times. Recognizing tile
weakness of the American combination,
the Englishmen played constantly to1
Hackett, who netted many returns after
desperate rallies at the net.
The second set, which, lasted only 12
minutes, wa won by the American
team, six games to one. McLoughlin.
playing In his old form, smashed and
drove with deadly accuracy. Hackett
improved, and his accurate lobbing
paved the way for many of his part
ner's smashes. After the set had
reached three to one In favor of the'
Americans, McLoughlin took a love
service and then took a love game on
Dixon's Bervice. Then Hackett ended
the act by taking a game on his
service.
In the third set the Englishmen
steadily played the ball to Hackett, and
these tactics gave them an easy win
by six games to two after they had a
start of two- games by taking Mc-Loughlln's-
service. McLoughlin never
played better In his life than during
this set, and the Englishmen were
chary In giving him any chance to show
his mettle. The set witnessed many
exciting rallies with all four players
in the fore court.
STKACTIAX CLiAY COURT CHAMP
Californian Defeats- New Yorker in
Singles; Doubles Forfeited.
OMAHA, Neb., July 26. The West
defeated the East today for the cham
pionships in singles and doubles of the
fourth National clay court tournament
at the Omaha Field Club-. In the sin
gles John Strachan, San Francisco, de
feated Merrill Hall, New York, and the
doubles match was forfeited to him and
his partner, Clarence Griffin, by Fred
Harris and Hall because of the for
mer's Illness. Harx-is' physician for
bade him to play.
.Strachan played a smashing, brilliant
game and took three sets out of four
played. Hall, though at times play
ing a spectacular game, was unable to
outplay his opponent. rine score was
6-0. 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
The first was a love set for Strachan
He started Halt on the jump and won
point after point until lie had won the
set. . His impossible service, which Hall
found difficult to return, elicited much
applause from the gallery.
Hall strengthened in the next set.
but his adversary continued his ter
riftc pace and he had to content, him
self with four games out of ten. The
third set opened with a pretty back
court rally. The Easterner won the
first game, but Strachan tightened and
won the next two. Hall forced the
Coast boy to the net and won two more
games. Strachan kept his opponent on
the back court and added two mora to
his list. After this he began to weaken
and Hall craftily drew him to the cen
ter of the court and won the set.
It was at this point that the East lost
their chance for, the championship
Strachan was weak, the result of hla
gruelling play, while Hall had husband
ed his strength. A short intermission
In the clubhouse, however, recuperated
the Californian greatly and ha came
back Into the contest stronger than
ever.
With a backhand swing that con
stantly won applause from the spectu
tors, Strachan opened up the last set.
Hall vainly endeavored to return his
opponent's play and at times played
brilliantly, but the smashing baok-eourt
gama of the Pacific Coast lad was too
much for him and hs . finally was
forced to resign the title and the
match,

of Team to Play Has Injury.
Harold S. Wells and Brandt H. Wick
ersham will form the team to- represent
Multnomah Club at the International
tennis tournament in Tacoma, August 4.
Wells, is probably the best doubles
player in Portland, and coupled with
Wfickersham should make a team equal
to the Wlckersham-Gorrill combina
tion, which won the International cups
two years In succession.
Wickersham is at present on the
shelf. He injured his foot in the re
cent Oregon state championship match
which he lost t McCormick, and under
went an operation yesterday.
This means that the Oregon state
doubles championship, postponed at the
time of the tourney because of Wtck
ersham's heavy schedule, probably will
not be played, as Wickersham at best
hopes to be in shape for the interna
tional gamea and not before.
The majority of the stars of the re

gether when the Breakers annual tour

STRING OF FOUR, WEIGHING 25 POUNDS, CAUGHT BY FRANK
LAMBERT.
With the- waters of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers rapidly re
ceding, anglers are busy ; untangling their bass lines. Some fishing
in a few scattered localities has already produced well-filled baskets,
- but the game fish have not taken up their Summer residence in the
nooks near Portland.
The Willamette eloughs have offered good sport to several parties
'and the Tualatin has been the haunt of some of the pre-eeason fish
ermen. C. W. Boost, of the Portland Motorboat Club, has purchased another
small boat.- which he will use exclusively in finding spots along the
Willamette where these fish will bite.
Frank Lambert recently dropped a book into Horseshoe Lake, near
St. Paul, Marlon County, and In very short time caught a string
.' weighing 25 pounds. Other lakes ot the Willamette Valley are offer
' ing good fishing. .
C. W. Boost also made a trip to the Lewis River, where he found
the sport good and got enough big ones to feed a party of eight who
went, with him in his big cruiser.

ing a good game at doubles.
Brewer Playing Faat
Brewer Is playing a better game than
in previous- years. Humphrey has no
chance nor Is it probable that Edgar
will be one of the chosen. Cooke is
playing a more wonderful game than
he has shown in two or threet years,
and it is not probable that Gill would
have a lucky enougb. day to defeat
either Goss, Andrews or Cooke.
But whoever, are fortunate, it 'can be.
depended upon that the Irvington duo
will give a good account ot themselves
at the Tacoma tournament.
The choice of Chairman Wakeman,
of Wells and Wickersham, could hardly
have been better. Wickersham, when
in condition. Is playing a wonderfully
strong game. He showed up to better
advantage as the state tournament pro
gressed a week ago and it was the
hottest kind of weather in which to
play anything, let alone tennis.
Strain Tells,. "WIcK" Paints.
Under the strain of several matches
scheduled in one day, "Wick proved
his stamina by going through them to
near-victories, losing, however, in the
mixed doubles and singles. After one
hard singles match he fainted, due
largely to the heat, aided and abetted
by not being In the best physical con
dition. Without question of doubt there
Is no more physically fit tennis expert
In the Northwest than Wickersham,
when at his best, unless it be Joe
Tyler, who last week met his Water
loo In the play at Vancouver in the
mainland championships. McBurney,
former Northwest champion, who has
returned to the game and will be a
contestant in all the Sound tourneys
this year, may be stronger than
"Wick," but it would be "some race" if
the two were measured physically.
Wells Tormerxy was captain or the.
Yale tennis team and met and de
feated among the best of the intercol
leglans. With Wickersham's coaching
he ought to. make a good showing.
Wells paired with Richard Wilder in
the men's doubles in the state tourna
ment and showed up well.
St. Mark's Church parish has or
ganlzed a tennis club, had constructed
a clay court and baa started out with
25 members.
Irvington will bave no fall tourna

CHICAGO, July 26. Western tennis
stars played true to form in the pre
liminary rounds of the Western tourna

predictions that new talent would
crowd some of the veterans out of the
running right at the start, practically
all of the latter came through vic
torious. While most of today's winners
were of Chicago the out-of-town con
tingent will be strengthened greatly

Conrt Game Against Veteran,
Former National Champion.
BOSTON, July 26. Youth had its way
at Longwood today, veteran tennis
players going down to defeat before
the younger representatives; in the
seml-flnai rounds of the Eastern
doubles championships and the all
comers' tournament for singles.
It was a day of upsets.
Perhaps the most prominent in
dividual in the day'a play waa young
William Johnston, of San Francisco.
who vanquished the veteran, William
J. Clothier, of Philadelphia, former Na
tional champion. This match required
the limit ot five sets 4-6. 5-7. T-5,
6-0, 8-6.
Somewhat less of a surprise was the
elimination in the doubles of Beals C.
Wright and William A. Larned by Gus.
tave F. Touchard and William M.
Washburn. This match, too, required
five sets, which went 2-6, 1-6, 8-6,
6-4. 6-3.
Still another upset was the defeat in
the morning of Nathaniel W. Niles, of
Boston, by G. P. Gardner. Jr., also of
this city. The score was 6-8, 6-2. 6-2,
6-3. The second semi-finals In the
doubles tournament was won by Niles
and A. S. Dabney, of Boston, against
H. R. Scott and S. L. Beals at 11-9,
6-2, 6-1.
Johnston triumphed over Clothier
after the latter had won the two open
ing sets.
The Western boy played a sure back
court game, his backhand drives re
peatedly finding Clothier at a loss for
defense. Johnston's speed also gave
him a range of play that offset
Clothier's strategy.
Three times Clothier seemingly had
an opportunity to win the match in
the final set, but as many times did
the boy from the West Coast rally and
bring the set successfully to a deuce
at 6-11, to 7-6 and to 8-6.

This match is held at 300 meters (328

called a freak by "American riflemen.
There is no limit to. the weight: it is
equipped with a hair trigger and the
stock is carved so as to fit the contour
of the face and shoulder. In the stand

held in the palm of the hand. The
stocks of the rifles -are so. made as to
be adjusted at different angles for dif

The use of the strae is not allowed

Milwaukee Entrant in Western Title
Tourney Makes Game Finish
but Finds Homewood Golfer
Too Consistent.
CHICAGO, July 26. Warren K
Wood, of Homewood, is the new West
ern golf champion. He defeated, 4 up
and 3 to play. E. P. Allis III, of Mil
waukee in the finals of the Western
Golf Association tournament played
over the links of the Homewood Coun
try Club today. Allis, one of the
youngest players in the tournament,
has the championship ot Wisconsin to
his credit and took the measure of
such redoubtable golfers as ex-Champion
Charles C. Evans. Jr., and ex
National Champion Robert A. Gardner,
of Hinsdale.
In Wood, however, Allis met one of
the steadiest tournament players in
the United States, playing over his
home course, and the Milwaukee lad
was behind all the way around after
the first hole. Allis made a game
struggle and seven holes before the
end he spurted and cut Wood's lead
of six to three.
A lit' Hope Die.
Allis" hopes went out at the 29th hole.
He was three down. He had far the
better of the drive and for his second
bounced his ball off the flagstaff with
a 200-yard cleek shot that brought
prolonged applause from the gallery.
Wood put his second on the green
from a bad lie in a clump of trees.
Allis missed an easy put for the hole
and lost the next hole by slicing his
drive into the rough and putting his
second over the green while Wood laid
his approach dead to the flag. Allis
tried hard to win another hole, but
Wood held him to halves and the match
ended on the 33d green.
Allis looked as if he might pull up
even at the 23d hole when, with per
fect steadiness, he availed himself of
an opportunity given by Wood's mo
mentary wildness. Wood sliced a long
drive into a mound. Wood had to
stand cocked up a side hill to hit his
ball and he struck it into a tree from
which it bounced baek for a loss of
Kdistance. Allis laid his second near the
flag and took the hole with four. On
the 2th, Wood sliced a 275-yard drive
into the long grass among thie gallery.
Allis drove straight and lifted a 200
yard iron shot over a hill and easily
took the hole. He followed by holing
a 20-foot putt for a two at the 109
yard 27th hole and turned wtth the
game apparently changing in his favor.
Veteraa Is Too Steady.
The steadiness of Wood overcame
Allis' flash of speed, however, and
Allis did not win another hole.
'Chick' Evans, Jr., took the gold
medal for low score In the qualifying
rounds, turning in 78-73-151,
Wood, who was runner up last year
made his way into the finals by de
feating in succession H. B. Lee, of De
troit; John Simpson. of Galesburg:
Frazer Hale, of Skokle, and Joseph
Ledue, of Calumet. ' Allis defeated J.
N. Thompson, of St. Paul; J. N. Mc
Donald of Chicago; Charles Evans, Jr.,
the titleholder, and Robert A. Gardner.
A gallery of 15,000 or more followed
the last round. Wood's win on his
home links was a popular one, but Allis
gained a host of admirers by his ex
cellent showing and game uphill battle.
