Forest Hills, L. l., Aug. 5.-Easterr tennis player won all four matches against their western racquets oppon- cnts in the first half of the second an nual East vs. West play here yester- Gay.
 The afternoon was devoted entire lv to singles and the majority of the first ten ranking players of the coun- trv participated. Three matches were won decisively and the fourth was de- faultcd in the middle fifth and decid- ing set.
 The feature of the play was the de- feat of William M. Johnston, national singles champion of San Francisco, tv R. Norris Williams, 2nd, of Phila- dclphia, in a gruelling fve-set match hy the following scores: 36, 6-3, 8-6, { 6. 9-7

 Williams Johnston match held the gallery of more than 2,000 spectators enthralled for more than two hours. Neither player was at his best but rroved evenly matched and fought a ( court battle than ran the tennis gam ut from brilliant and spectacular to mediocre play.
 At the beginning the champion ap- peared to be in better physical form than Williams but he did not hold his form as well as his opponent in the long contest which was not finished until almost dark.
 Williams played his usual cratic game netting and outing the ball. at times like a novice and then taking the lead again with marvellous side line shots and back hand cross court strokes that left the cham pion flat footed. There was little to choose in the general play of the two experts N hen the match is considered as a " hole, both netting and double fault ing at times like novices. Williams winning advantage lay in his service and superiority of placement.
 The sensational feature of the matches was the defaulting of R. l.. Murray to Watson M. Washbur after hard four set match had been played Murray was suffering from a lack of sleep due tro an all night vigil at the bedside of his wife, who is ill Of ptomaine poisoning. He played under protest, having offered to de- fault earlier in the day. In the fifth set with the games two all and the score 3O-love against him he became SO weak that Robert D. Wrenn, for mer president of the tennis assoc1a- ton, insisted that he stop. He final ly consented after an examination by a physician showed that he was suf- fcring from physical exhaustion and i a temporary dilatiOn of the heart Later in the evening it was reported that he had fully recovered from the effects of the hard play in the heavy i humid atmosphere which prevailed.

Good Night Tanks.

Detroit, Aug 5.-The poor Yankee cripples continue to bump the Dumps and seem to be going from bad tc worse. The club lost it's eighth straight game yesterday and the tenth of the trip, when the Tigers beat them in a poorly played game by a score of to 2.
 Throughout the long losing streak the Yankee pitching has been gilt edged. The Yankee hurlers manage to keep most of their opponents from doing much hitting, but as they never score any runs the Yankee pitchers get nothing but defeats for their re- ward. The score:

New York, Aug. 5.-Buddy Faulkes proved himself very clever bantam weight in outpointing the ancient Monte Attell in the ten round fea- ture bout in the Harlem Sporting Club last night. Abe's brother never had a chance and went down for counts in the fourth and fifth rounds.
 Faulkes could have delivered the haymaker in the fifth, but Attell re- sorted to hugging tactics. For the rest of the bout Monte was on the defen- sive, being unable to land clean blows to his opponent.

warned off the field by the guards sta

As yesterday was devoted chiefly TO

Columbia formations by having the
freshmen use them, Coach Brooks de-
voted this afternoon to the develop
ment of the 'varsity's offensive. and
the perfection of new plays intro
duced at the secret practice Monday.

Coaches Aiming to Eradi-
cate Faults Exhibited
in Union Contest
By FRANK O'NEILL

Columbia has a football watchword.
This week it is "beat Williams" Later
in the season it will be beat Stevens
or Swarthmore, or some. other OPP
ponent; but right now all the Blue and
Whites energy is being directed toward
winning next Saturdays game with
Williams. There is not an idle hand on
South Field these afternoons, and the
varsity is being driven as it never was
before. When night falls the team IS
quite as busy as it was at 4 o'clock, for
the faults developed in the game with
Union must be eradicated; a drSe
must be injected into the attack ana
the backs must learn TO hold the ball.
Long, hard and furious was the prac-
tice Yesterday afternoon. After the
varsity had raced up and down the
field at least a million times, IL the
word of the backheld men were 70 be
taken, the team had long drill In de-
fensive football The second string
PLAYERS took the ball, and, using a few
formations Of the Williams team, scored
several touchdowns before the varsity
line woke up to the fact that il might
have to stop these same plays on Satur--
day. Then the advance was halted
rather abruptly.
Ike Teller, former star of Dartmouth
elevens. played quarterback for the
second string men, while Pete Fisher,
Kennedy, of Columbia, and Stimson,
the freshman coach, formed the rest of
the backfeld. Kennedy played with the
team last year, but lost decision to
