GRIFFIN TO BE MET MONDAY Yonth, Who Defeated Veteran Pow ell, of Canadian Davis Cup Ag gregation, Wins Semi - Finals 8-6, 6-3, 0-4 Game Great. CHICAGO, Aug. 1. A new star came into prominence in the Western tennis firmament today when Alexander Squair, of the University of Chicago, won the finals of the tournament at Lake Forest, beating Joseph J. Arm strong, of St. Paul, In straight sets, 8-6, 6-3. 6-4. Squair will battle Clarence J. Grif-' fin, of California, the Western cham pion, for the title on Monday. Squair earned fame enough for most voungsters by trouncing R. B. Powell, of Canada, in the fourth round yester day and played the same kind of a game against Armstrong today. The St. Paul player, once a star at Harvard, holder of several titles and runner up to Griffin last year, looked a bit outclassed by the Midway lad. Only in the second set did Armstrong ever appear like a winner and then he won the first three games, only to lose when Squair, by an exhibition of placing as fancy as anything seen so far in the meet, won six straight games. Double faults hurt Armstrong's game. His service, when he got the ball over, was good, but even then Squair' s re turns were excellent and, driven from court to court, Armstrong wilted as did Powell Semi-finals, played this morn ing made Squair victor over Paul Gard. ner Lake Forest, 6-0, 6-3, 6-2, and Armstrong over iteatn Byroro, "-iiiuobu, 6-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. George N. Church and Dean Mathey, the Princeton players, won the West ern championship in men's doubles by beating Heath Byford and Ralph Bur dick, of Chicago, in a sensational match. The fourth set was not finished until after sundown, the score being 14 games to ,12. The score of the match: 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, 14-12. The winners will represent the West ern Association in the National elim ination doubles, which will be held at Lake Forest Tuesday and Wednesday. In that event J. E. Adoue and Irving Wring will represent the South, Clar ence Griffin and William Johnston the Pacific Coast, and Karl Behr and T. R. Pell the East. The winners will play Maurice McLoughlin and Thomas C. Bundy, National champions, at New port. Miss Mary Browne, of Los Angeles, won the woman's Western title by beating her sister, Mrs. R. H. Williams, of Chicago, 6-4, 6-3, and with Mrs. Williams won the doubles champion ship, winning from Mrs. C. N. Beard and Miss Miriam Steever in the final round 6-2, 6-2. GERMANS ARE OUTCLASSED Australians Carry Ofr Final Honors With Little Trouble. PITTSBURG, Aug. 1. Australasia's tennis pair, Norman E. Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding, made a ciean sweep of the Davis cup matches on the rnnrtK nf the Allegheny Country. Club at Sowicklev today by beating Otto Froitzheim and Oscar Kreuzer, the Germans, in the singles. rr.1. ai hnnnr rf the rlRV fell to Kreuzer, who let himself out in the third set of his matcn against wooKes nUvoH the famous Australasian off his feet. Kreuzer could not hold the pace, however, ana ne nau 10 ici down on his sensational racquet work with the result that Brookes' final score was 6-4. 6-2, 6-8, 6-2. Wilding had little to do to defeat Froitzheim at 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. The rallies were good and well fought. Wilding showed his ability to hold the winning shot, however, and he won without any apparent effort. The German players will leave for New York tonight and probably will stay at the Crescent Athletic Club until they sail for Germany, which will be at the earliest opportunity. The Austra lasians will not leave here until tomor row. CLABBY KNOCKS OUT SMITH Triple Championship of Australia Won in One Round. SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 1. Jimmy Clabby, the American middleweight, knoced out Dave Smith tonight in the first round. The fight, which was billed for 20 rounds, lasted just 69 seconds. A heavy punch to the Jaw did the work. By his victory Clabby becomes mid dleweight, light heavy and heavy weight champion of Australia, Smith outweighed him 10 pounds.

"I ! Il.ls-l-.lll.il II f BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. APPARENTLY anything tinctured with warfare and intrigue makes good reading now a days. Henc e we are prepared to announce to the anxious world this morning that a modern battleship, armed only witl blank shells, would prove helples against an attack by a fleet of bomb throwing aeroplanes. Silas Christofferson. aviator extra ordinary, proved this much to the evident satisfaction of several hundred spectators yesterday at the Country Club, when for several hours he dodged mock bullets fired by a squad of ex pert riflemen from the Third Oregon Infantry. The names of the riflemen were: D. E. Bates, jfndrew Bissett and Robert Smith, of Company D, and Le Roy McRae. of Company C. They were all In uniform and primed for Chrlstoffer son's widely exploited aerial derby and did their range work from a recon- noitering position behind a heavy grove of red alfalfa clover stalks. Christofferson and the khaki-clad sharpshooters divided the afternoon with a stable full of classy pacing and trotting stock. The horses did not skip over the ground as fast as the airship, but they were not bothered by the gusty, puffy wind that racked the amphitheater, and the aeroplanlst was. Part of Programme Called Off. Ph,latnffapD,n hart to call Off his death dive and his passenger carrying attempt at the American aiiiiuuc record. He did not attempt to fly his little racing machine at all because of the danger in the cross currents of air, yet, he did satisfy everybody that in his beautiful, DiraiiKe miiiiarj tractor he knows a thing or two about aviation. Christofferson made six or seven separate flights and an equal number of easy, perfect descents in front of the e-ranristnnd. While there was some disappointment over the postponement of the two novelty events, tne several hundred spectators went away ap parently satisfied. Those who weren't probably were miffed because there was no smashup or because the riflemen missed. Or perhaps because Motorcyclist Coug burn did not go through the fence in his race with the airship. Incidentally, they say that airships are faster than motorcycles, but, not yesterday. Cougburn won all the way in his three-mile race with the air craft, only, of course, tnere was an alibi. Oh, yes always an aimi ior the defeated. Si's alibi was that he could not cut sharp curves In his big machine. Smoke Proves Obstacle. "I will be able to run away from him Sunday In my little rai l rig machine," explained the aviator.
