NEW YORK, Sept 2-The selection

looks as though 1t will. be the best from

on in the history of the game. Jimmy
Conroth is counting on a $4,000 gate,

The consensus of opinion among the
devotees OF amateur athletics is becom-
ing stronger each day that the officials
in charge have made a mistake in trans
ferring the scene OF the annual West
Point-Annapolis football game from
Philadelphia
Last spring with practically no notice
the report was sent out that IN the
future the games would be played at
Princeton. as the Tigers are in far
better position to seat the thousands
upon thousands that wish to witness the
struggle.

great trouble in arranging accommo-

for the game were in every way as
near perfect as could be desired. con-
sidering the size of the crowd that had
TO be seated inside the big stadium OF

MATTESON AND SMITH WIN
Finals in Doubles Championship in City
Tennis Tourney.
FIELD CLUB PAIR IS FAIRLY OUTPLAYEO
Visitors Prove Too Strong for
Scribner and KOhn and Take
Match After "A Long,
Hard Fight.
FIELD CLUB PAIR is FAIRLY oUTPLAYEI

In the best and most closely contested
match of the present tournament Matteson
and Smith beat Scribner and Kohn on
the Field club courts Monday evening. Be
fore a large gallery play was started on
court No. at $50 and it was 7:35 before
the last game was finished.
1t looked like Scribner and Kohn for
time, and this pair was the favorite before
the match started The match was really
won by the fine deep lobbing of Matteson
and Smith and by the quick and snappy
work of Matteson at the net. Matteson
played by far the best game of the four,
and some of his placing was new and
phenomenal BY a slight stroke he placed
a great many balls just over the net and
to one side out of reach of his opponents.
Matteson and Smith both played we'll
forward and played lobbing game, which
kept Scribner and Kohn in the back courts,
and when a ball was returned in the same
way Matteson would be on hand with one
of his smashes. Scribner and Kohn could
not handle the lobs at all and they would
either drive the return into the net or out
of court.
Scribner and Kohn at times smashed
short lobs beautifully but when the lobs
came deep in the courts they could not
handle them with any degree of accuracy
Scribner won all but one of his serves and
could be counted on. The team work of
these two surpassed that of Matteson and
Smith, but they lost just the same.
The match was thorough surprise to all,
as Scribner and Kohn had been touted as
winners from the start, and much specula-
ton has been INDUCED all the way through
as to what they would do to Caldwell and
Young when they met in the challenge
match Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock
for the city championship in doubles.
Matteson and Smith belong to the Hill
side Tennis club and many expression or
delight were heard that some team other
than a Field club team had won, as 1t
| gives encouragement to all outside players
to have some players other than the Field
| club win.
The consolation doubles were also finished
by the defeat of Clements and Hoffheim
| by Sunderland and Hills. The scores for
| this match were 6-1, so, 6-3.
