Newport, R. l., August 19.-The Ameri- can Lawn Tennis championship in doubles was won today for a second time by R. F. and II. L. Doherty, the famous British team who defeated Kreig Collins and l.. H. Waidener. the American challengers, in straight sets, 7-5; 6-S; 6-3.
 Collins and Waidener were the players from whom the Dohertys won the cham pionship last year. but today's contest was much more notable than the former.
 Both pairs showed wonderful improve ment over any previous form and while the Americans were stronger and more steady and accurate than last season, the Englishmen were able not only to show equal skill. but to surpass even the best that their opponents could offer.
 Collins and Waidener was given most splendid encouragement by the spectators as the match progressed, and every ex- presson heard was enthusiastic in their praise. They were certainly better than when they defeated Wade and Ward. On the other hand the visiting players forced even their friends and supporters of their opponents to acknowledge that only beautiful but nearly perfect.
 Of the individual players, H, l.. Do- herty showed to the best advantage. He

BRITISH GOLFERS
 ARE WINNERS AGAIN
DEFEAT THE ALL-CHICAGO TEAM IN GREAT CONTEST IN THE REAIJTIFtJi GLENvIEW LINKS. THRoNGS FOLLOW PLAYERS.

Chicago. August 19.-Continuing their ir- resjstable golf. the visiting oxford and Cambridge amateurs today took their fourth big match since they arrived Tn the United States by defeating the All Chicago team on the Glenview Golf club links, to A. Weather conditions and the course were ideal for record breaking goi1' but there was an absence or prllhant nerformances. although the Englishmen earned their victories handily by superior short game play. Throngs followed the matches all day.
 Walter Egan, western champion, chand- Ter Egan, intercollegiate champion Bruce Smith and Captain William Waller were the four home players who won rom the Brltons.
 Chandler Egan reversed matters With Norman Hunter, by whom he was defeat- ed at Wheaton, 71 to 76. Today Egan asked to play Hunter, the North Ser wick golfer, again, and with a medal score of IS defeated Hunter up. Chand- Ter was laid dead stymie at the first green and had half stymie and at the second green losing both holes.
 At the turn Egan was two up, Hunter winning the ninth by long putt after be- ing down at the eighth. At the fourth hole Chandler. by holing 65 mashie. ap- preached and took the bogey holes in 3.
 J. T. Bramston defeated National Champion Louis N. James up by fault less approaching and putting Missing putt of two feet on the eighth green by uniformly indifferent work. James was down. but he took the ninth by good putt and was 2 down at the turn. There after the Englishman had the national champion safe.
 Captain J. L. Low was well under Bogey to the ninth hole in his match with J. M. Sellers and only up on the latter at the turn, but he putted well and de- feated Sellers.
 Walter Egan won from Mansfield Hun ter on the home green by halving in four after having pulled his drive to an al- most unplayable position. He was dor die one by reason of brillian at the seventeenth green. With one hole ap- proxmated, W. Egan's card was IT, while Hunters was 79. The other matches were not unusual.

measured today and the time allowance was increased as a result, twelve sec onds. In neither of his previous attempts to carry off the cup did Sir Thomas sail on a challenger. Tonight he was in doubt whether to sail on the Shamrock tomorrow. His friends on the Erin urged him not to do so, for fear of an aeci- dent. According to the rules, the first will be fifteen nautical miles to windward and return. After that each alternate race will be over the triangular course ten miles to the leg. The second race will be sailed on Saturday and the third on next Tuesday; and thereafter every other day until the series is completed The cup goes to the winner of three out of five races. If the course is not cover ed within the time allowance, five and a half hours, it is no race.
 The weather prediction for tomorrow Is not alluring. the forecaster promising a breeze of from three to nine knots. A seven knot breeze will be necessary to carry the boats over the course in the maximum time five and one half hours.

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
 WON BY THE DOHERTYS

carried his strokes through very cleyerly and smashed lobs and put ground strokes down the side lines with equal accuracy. II. Collins, always steady, seemed more steady than ever. He played with the greatest accuracy. Waidener hit like whrlwind, but he was rather cratic at times. The Englishmen showed they ap- preciated the value of lobbing game, and were fully as effective with this stroke as the Americans.
 Next to the doubles In importance was the match in singles between R. F. Doh erty and K. Collins Each player had played in the hard doubles match In the morning, besides dsposing of a man in singles in the early afternoon, but in spite of this handicap both put up very creditable game. Collins did not have the finish and strength to his strokes shown by his opponent, but placed cleverly and frequently had Doh erty where the latter could not reach the ball. Doherty took the first set in 6-2 but Collins was always at the net in the second set, and placed so well that he won the set 6-2. After this set. how ever, the western player did not come up to the net so often. Doherty secured the lead in the third set, 5-4 and 4-3 but Collins ran the game out and IS games were played before the Briton placed the set to his credit. In the fourth set Doh- erty forced himself more and ran out easily, 6-a.

HERRAN WAITS TO
 RECEIVE ADVICES
COLOMBIAN CHARGE HAS HEARD NOTHING FURTHER FROM HIS GOVERNMENT SINCE REJECTION OF THE TREATY.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, has received no ad- vices from Bogota since Monday last. when he received from the Colombian minister of foreign affairs a cablegram dated August 13, announcing that the senate on the day previous had dsap- proved the Panama canal treaty and that on the day following the president would submit another proposition to the senate.
 What this new proposition Is. Dr. Her ran does not know. He is of the opinion, however. that President Marroquin has had a canal bill introduced empowering the president to negotiate and ratify without submission to congress a canal treaty with his government, the general line of which is contained In the bill now before the congress.
 Dr. Herran says that this Is only his unofficial interpretation of the news in the cablegram. He is expecting another cablegram constantly.

Is now or never, and I'm going to try"
 One bent old man. seventy years old with the Wisconsin delegation, could not be dissuaded. His gait grew slower from block to block until two civilians step ped from the spectators and led him out of the line. Of all the states, California excepted, the one that had the largest number in line was Illinois, but Ohio was a close second.
 Almost every delegation had it's em- blem, Ohio its buck eye Connecticut a wooden nutmeg, Minnesota a loaf of bread and so on.
 At the head of the procession rode a veteran on a bicycle. Whenever the marchers halted he circled around with the ease of boy until the line moved on again
 The afternoon was devoted largely to receptions and reunions. In the evening thousands attended a concert at Mechan- les pavilion. General Nelson A. Miles was the guest of the Spanish American war veterans.

WEARERS OF BLUE STEP
 TO TUNES OF LONG AGO

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 19.-Ten thou sand survivors of the Civil War passed in review today marching to the martial tunes that inspired them to endeavor for ty years ago. About the national colors, borne by every marcher, proudly floated torn and tattered flags. These, with empty sleeves and limping gait, were el- oquent reminders of the sorrow and glo- ry of war Unlike the parade of yes terday with the quick marching line of youths, this procession was the meas ured and steady tread of age. As the different divisions marched along. waves of sentiment passed over marchers and spectators. There were many still vigo- rous in line but they waited for their weaker comrades and the column halted often on It's two mile course.
 ''It's my last march," said many a grizzled veteran as he started out. Tt
