 By coincidence, c. Colket Gamer, son of the donor of the cup, had a bis part in winning the trophy Youns Gamer won the singles title by defeat 6-3r 4-6. 6-2, ard paired with R. H. Harte, Jr., star end on last falls Crimson football team, won the dou- bles championship also. Gamer and Harte had an easy time in the final doubles match, defeating their team mates, Pf"1fman and w. H. White house. in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2
 Tn qualifying fna1ists in the singles section and both teams in the deciding match Of the doubles division, liar ward broke all former intercollegiate tennis records Other colleges have swept the boards in the past and car rled off both the singles and doubles titles, Harvard turning the trick both last year and in 1919, hut never before has any college been assured of both championships at the end of the semi final rounds.
 Gamer and Harte had their match well in hand from the start and OnIv a bit of careless play at times enabled Pfaffman and Whitehouse to win a.. occasional game.
 In the final singles match Cane" romDed away with the first two set. and could have won in straight sets II he had not eased down in the thi!et set. Pfaffman put all he had into hi play and the breaks also went against Gamer. Then Gamer put on speed again and ran away in the final set, 6-2, and took the match.
 The best match of the day was the sime-final doubles battle between Gamer and Harte and Eugene Warren and K. R. Mccormick of the University of Southern California. This was . fine exhibition of tennis, the smooth team work of the Pacific coast racquet Wielders drawing much applause from the crowd
 Gamer and Harte had the advantagn m height, reach, individual ability and physical stamina, and it was this las. that pulled them through.
 Pfatfman and Whitehouse had al easy time of it in the other semi- -in;. match, overwhelming Riker and Knox of Princeton in straight sets.

FINANCIAL AND, COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
A Marked Change in the Character of
 the Operations.

New York, Sept 16-The week in the stock market terminated in much the same way that it opened-a fer ment of speculation-sales in the two hour session aggregatirg almcst S00,- GOO shares, equivalent to full day of 2,0O0,0 600.
 There was a marked changed in the chara Cter of the operations, however, interest converging almost entirely about the railway division, in which extreme gains of 1 to almost points were fairly numerous. Except for U. s. Steel, which continued it's upward career to the new record of 1GS in dustrials, equipments and munitions were in comparatively light demand although Driggs-Se -Seabury gained an additional points.
 A distinctly irregular undertOna was denoted by the favorites of the early week, and it was suggested that the upward movement in investment is- sues was being used as a cloak to un- load the more mercurial stocks.
 There were moderate reYersals in Mercantile Marines, American Smelt- ing, the MeXicans. SIudebaker and Baldwin Locomotive, but Maxwell rose 3 1-2 points. Reading was the only important railway issue to hang back but that stock had a smart gain car Her in the week, when it made it's new record.
 Aside from industrial conditions as indicated by the threatened expansion of labor troubles, week end news was mostly favorable.
 The bank statement came up to gen. eral expectations, with 9 substantial gain in cash and an increase of slight ly more than S79,0O0,0OO in excess re- serves, that item, however, being very much under the total of a month ago
 The only feature to the bond mar ket, which ruled from irregular to firm was the greater diversihcation of of ferings. Today's total sales, par value | aggregated $3,42O O0N.
 United States coupon fours were B. per cent lower on call during the week.
