play. IL was !u.t such tactics that
made Il possible for Mrs. Mclean 20
take set from the new star OF the
courts, the slow. high bound Of the
ball apparently throwing the Nor
wegian title holder OF her stroke
temporarily.
The impetuous visitor likes 10 catch
the ball as it approaches the top of the
bound, or even before, as Norris Will
Jams, the national champion, and sew
eral of the notable Californian players
do, with such deadly effect The extra
wait involved In handling soft returns,
therefore, puzzled her for time but
once she had accustomed herself 10
this. Miss Bjurstedt swung AZ the ball
in the same slashlng manner.
Mrs. Mclean, who is generous IN her
praise Of the new metropolitan cham
pion's ability, explained her defeat by
saying that the Norwegian has SUCH a
wealth Of earning shots" that purely
defensive strokes cannot prevail against
her unless she should experience a
period OF sustained wildness IN her re
turns.
Il will be interesting to watch the
progress Of Miss Bjurstedt for the rest
Of the season, especially on turf courts,
where her experience has been ex-
tremely limited, but the feeling VIII
not down that this latest satellite viii

Columbia Crew Gets Back
to Hard Work This Week
o Richards has never rowed

last spring Richards has never rowed
more than two miles and Rice may rot
be willing TO take a chance on him in
the big boa, at this late day. II he
does not get seat IN the first shell,
however, II is certain that he will so
into the junior varsity combination.
Just who will be displaced to make
room for Manner is a question that IS
worrying Rice, although 10 is probable
that Cronenburg (No. 81 will be the
first TO be relegated 20 the second eight
while Manner is being tried out. Gro
nenburg is one of the heaviest and
most powerful men in the shell, but he
has difficulty in rowing Rlce's stroke
and his endurance is none too good,
although he stood up well in the junior
varsity race az Poughkeepsie last June.
Il is certain that Paddock. the cox
swain who steered the crew into the
course marks at Princeton, will find
himself relegated 70 the Tubing boats.
Rice let the varsity men rest all last
week, and he will not send them on the
river again until Wednesday when all
the disturbances caused by the feet
will have been removed. Rice is afraid
OF having crew swamped in the rough
water prevailing on the west shore OF
the river during the stay of the feet,
and has called off all varsity rowing as
long as the feet is here.
II Is possible that the crew will go
out for the tirst time with It's new cox
swain, while the other changes will be
deferred for Q week or more.

royal az the grounds Of the White
Rose Football Club IN Astoria In the
presence Of large crowd Of soccer
enthusiastic yesterday afternoon.
The Subways won by a score OF 3
goals 10 1 and took the cup. They
also are leaders in the metropolitan
championship ard ere likely 20 win
that, too.
In the first hall the 7. r. r. Stroll
ers were distinctly In the game, but
were foiled az every stage by the fine
work Of O'Connor IN goal for the Sub
ways. They tired IN the second period
and looked 70 be outclassed Both Of
the first two goals, after the restart,
were tho result Of penalties, O'Con-
nor scoring for tho SubwRys and Dixon
for the Strollers. A fine effort by
Edmonton placed the Subways In the
lead. Bark placed the issue beyond
all doubt by scoring goal from TWEEN
ty-two yards out, after receiving g
pass from centre.
Besides O'Connor, the best work for
the winners was done by Carroll and
Bark, while Dixon, Croogan and CORN
ley were singled out for distinction on
the side Of the Strollers.

Invitation Lawn Tennis
Tourney Opens To-day
with Many Court Stars
Among the Entrants.

One Of the most important OF the
big invitation lawn tennis tournaments
Of the season begins this afternoon on
the clay courts OF the Sleepy Hollow
Country Club, at Scarborough-on-Hud-
son, with thirty-two Of tho ranking
players Of the country entered in the
singles and tho same number OF pairs
scheduled for the doubles.
The governors Of the club have put
up something unusual in the way Of
challenge trophy this year, namely, a
replica OF the famous gold cup dis
covered by DR.. Schliemann in his ex-
cavations at MycenR, In Greece. IL
Is representative of the highest type
Of Grecian art in the fourteenth cen
fury y. c., and the original IS now In
the national museum az Athens.
This trophy Will DO inscribed with
the name OF the winner each year, and
must be won three times, not neccs-
sarily in succession, before II becomes
the permanent property of the success
full player. The cups for the doubles
are smaller models Of the challenge
trophy, and all were manufactured In
England.
Robert Llndley Murray, who created
his FIRST sensation IN the East at
Sleepy Hollow's invitation tournament
last year, won The cup presented by
President Nandorlip at that time, OBJ
tanning permanent possession by his
victory. II was on the final day OF
play that the meteoric Murray accom-
plished the notable feat Of vanqu!sh'
ing Frederick Il. Alexander, W. Mer-
rll Hall and Karl II. Behr, success
sively. in d single afternoon. The dou-
bles tournament was taken by Wat
son NJ. Wsshburn and Dean Nathey.
Murray will not be present to de-
fend his title this time, as business

Unexpected defeats that will proba-
bly, play a biz part in the final rating
OF the teams marked the play Of the
college baseball mines last week. Yale's
reversals at the hands Of Williams and
Dartmouth and Princeton's upsets az
the hands Of Cornell and Williams mar
otherwise good records. The Army

Only three teams besides the Army
showed more strength on the attack.

Il was beaten by Wesleyan and Trinity
u overwhelmed Princeton and defeated
Yale comfortably. incidentally. the
Williams nine jumped is team average
from 100 70 .228. Brown, playing
Dartmouth for the first time since 1884,

Yale. Princeton, Columbia, Syracuse,
the Navy and Harvard lost a Few points

these stars of the courts.
As there IS keen competition among
the best men Of the East for places on
the all-Eastern team that will 30 70

opportunity of gauging the value OF
the different players.
The following matches In the singles
have been arranged for to-day IN the.
first round: Karl Behr vs.. Louis

dore II. Pell VS. Raymond D. Little.
Several matches, too. will be played
this afternoon, one of the best OF which
should be that between Behr and Pell
and lie Roy and Mathey. Then Hackett
and Alexander, who held the national
title i've times, will play Graves and
Lovibond, and Little and lnman will
take the courts against Frelinghuysen
and Leonard.
