JAY GOULD AND HUM
RETAIN CHAMPIONSHIP
AT NATL COURT TENNIS

Philadelphia. April 1s.-Jay Gould Of
New York and W. II. T. HUM, Phil
adelphia, Saturday again won the Ma
tional court tennis doubles amateur
championship by defeating Joshua
Crane. Jr., and G. r. Fearing Of Bos-
ton, three sets to two. The scores
were: 81, o-s. s-1. Go.
1t was the fourth successive time
that Gould and HUM won the nation
al title in doubles.
The match was a thrilling one
throughout. At the end Of the third set
the champions were in danger OF los
ing their title. They won the first set
easily enough by six games to one,
but go well did Crane and Fearing
play in the second that the champions
failed 40 win single game. In the
third sci, Gould and HUM were again
outpiayed by the challengers and
could win only one game.
The champions showed a wonderful
reversal Of form in the fourth set, and
captured it, six games to one. The fifth
set went to nine games and was the
most exciting Of AL. The title holders
lost the first game and then appear
ed to become stronger, as they took the
next three games straight, largely
through some wonderful placing by
Gould
The games then alternated until the
ninth, when Gould and HUM, playing
at top speed and concentrating on
Fearing, made shots that dazzled both
their opponents and the spectators and
won the set and match. The summary:

Dartmouth Trims Columbia

New York, April 1s.--Columbia's semi
Both teams hitmonthly epidemic Of err
rrors arrived on time Saturday after
noon. As result the powerful Dart
mouth combine climaxed its stay around
New York with an overwhelming victory
over tho Blue and White nine on South
field by a score Of to 2. Seven errors
were Tailed by the official scorer.
Both teams hit the ball hard but Dart
mouth slugged more often to parts unin-
habited or else at players who were not
prepared to stop them without booting
them.
Eddie Shea, the diminutive twirler,
may have had something to do with the
fighting tendencies OF his teammates.
He started on the mound and was so
wild that Coakiey yanked him to the
bench in the third inning and gave the
job to Bigger Smith. Smith was not
warmed up enough and Dartmouth scor-
ed it's third run in the inning before he
cut loose as well as some more later on.
Charlie Ham played sterling game.
He saved a bad situation in the eighth
with two on and two down. Eskeline
fouled high near the grandstand. Ham
