SCORED BY POYER
Cricket League Batting Cham
pion Runs Up 101 for Brook
lyn at Livingston.

After declaring their innings closed
for 226 runs, with wickets down. the
players OF the Brooklyn Cricket Club
failed to retire the eleven OF the Staten
Island Cricket and Tennis Club in the
association match at Livingston yester-
day, and as a result the game went on
record as a draw. Staten Island had
scored 76 for seven wickets when stumps
we're drawn for the day.
The outstanding feature OF the play
was the score of 101, not out. made by
j. i. Poyer of Brooklyn, the second
century to the credit OF the batting
champion in two weeks. Poyer. as usual,
was one of the first pair to go in. and he
carried his bat right through the Brook
lyn innings, defying all efforts to dis
miss him. r. 7. LeclSey OF Brooklyn
scored 60. ]. L. Poyer also took 3 wick
cts for l3 runs. OF the Staten Island
batsmen the best efforts were those OF
+. W. de Motto, rs G. Watkins. 13. and

JAPANESE VICTORS
IN DAVIS CUP TIE
Take the Fourth and Fifth
Matches From India at
Lake Forest.

LAKE FOREST, ILL.,, Aug. 2o.--Japan
won the last two matches OF the Davis
cup semi-final series with India at the
Onwentsia Club here to-day. Ichiya Ku-
magae defeated Dr. A. H. Fyzee of India
ir the first singles contest by 3-6, 6--3,
6--3, 9--7, and in the second match
zenzo Shimidzu defeated Mahommed
Sleesn of India by 7-5, 2-6, Go, Ga.
The matches were witnessed by
gallery of 5000, which gradually melted
away as a cold wind off Lake Michigan
crept up in the late afternoon, and Shi-
midzu and Sleem finished to stands that
were almost deserted.
The winning japanese will move at
once to Newport, r. l., to meet Austria
liza in the final round of the Davis cup
series next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day.
Kumagae's victory was won after a
rousing court battle which featured Fly
zee in the best tennis display which was
given by the Indian team in the three
day series.
The Shimidzu-SIeem match did not
produce any OF the fast passages OF
kumagae's victory. Sleem never ven
tured forward from the base line and
he rarely stroked the ball with any
steam. Had it not been for Shlmidzus
wildness at the start the first set would
have been a walkover out Sleem,
through sheer steadiness. made 4 battle

The Jap's wildness continued in the
second set. This was the scrt Of an
opening that gave Sleem his chance. for

Shimidzu settled to the task in the

The impetus Of his rush also gave him
lead of 10 in the fourth set before
Sleem managed to win another game,

did recover the leading role in that set

rapid fire OF sharp drives. Fyzee COW

Garland fell before ''Watty' Wash

In all cases these players were in ex-

both on and off the courts with re-
sulting loss of keenness for the game.
Although I am not offering an alibi
for my thorough drubbing by Bill

Don't Take Game Home With You.
No, staleness does not always come
from too much play. The very atmos-
phere Of the courts. if carried home, is
quite enough to take away your keen
ness, and when that is gone the mind
has not the ability to concentrate or
the body the nerve tone necessary to
make your muscles react almost auto
matcally
Were staleness a physical matter its
frequent presence among athletes would
be a. hard blow for coaches trainers
and the like. But II is not and they
have we'll mastered methods of training.
Indeed this is not difficult. Normal
life best covers it. Rigid and old style
training rules are no longer in vogue
or thought much Of.
Tennis PLAYERS need relaxation and
diversity to keep them keen, once in
shape I find mine in music. the theatre
and bridge. Sometimes golf or another
game, helps a lot. The main thing is
to keep away from too much tennis
talk when off the court. It is this
failure to divert the mind. rather than
the tournaments now in progress, cul-
minating in the national singles next
month, which will cause more upsets
than even the strenuous days many VIII

(Vorid's Champion Tennis Ildyer.)
While one yis more apt to become
stale during a long tour such as falls
to the lot of those who go in quest
of the Davis cup to foreign lands,
there is such a long run OF important
tournaments now under way in the
United tatcs that this same question
Of being fit enters largely into tennis
at this time. Undoubtedly 1t will play
an important part, especially toward
their close. So let me set down some
facts in this connection, which, / be-
lieve, will bear me out in my con-
tention that staleness among tennis
players-if not among all athletes
is a mental. rather than a physical,
matter
To be sure. it shows plainly in ones
physical efforts. But nothing is more
patent than the fact that young
man could scarcely wear himself out
physically at golf. Yet we have many
golfers go stale each season. / am
quite as sure the same cause is back
of staleness in tennis even though 1t
is more strenuous.
No better example comes to mind
than an incident in connection with
the challenge round of the Davis cup
at Auckland last December. Gerald
Patterson, a perfect physical speci-
men, was scheduled to meet Bill john
ston in a singles match and was keen
for the test. But heavy rains post
poned their meeting two days The
result was that this very fine Aus
tralian player was defeated In Sc
uuence sets by Johnston.
Now in this particular match there
was no one who could claim Patter-
son was not physically fit. But it was
evident to all he was bit off his
game. The enforced wait brought
about a mental staleness, let down
following his high tension OF the day
the match was scheduled for. And
that affected his tennis. On the other
hand. Johnston had travelled some
$4,000 miles for this particular affair
and a wait of few days meant little
to him. Johnston would have won the
match anyhow, but doubt If it would
have been so one sided had Patterson
held his edge and keenness. At is
was he took just five games.
Evidence All Alike.
we had ample evidence of what
mental staleness would do to tennis
players when Johnston, Williams

The match provided a fitting climax
