 Britain's only solace was the vic- tory of her professionals in a team contest with a squad led by Walter Hagen, and resulting in the lop-sided tally of 13 1-2 to 1 1-2 points.

 As a sensational tennis climax America witnessed the bewildering spectacle of an All-French final in the national singles championship, with the solemn-visaged Rene La coste lifting the trophy from his team-mate, Jean Borotra, while the six-year former titleholder, William T. Tilden, sat on the side-lines.
 In the Davis Cup team contest, Big Bill" Tilden and Little Bill' Johnston started off apparently as inVincible as ever and, aided by Will liams and Richards, quickly clinched the famous trophy for the seventh straight year But Tilden twisted his knee, lost to Lacoste in the final match and then, in spite of a gallant stand, met his Waterloo a week later in the national singles tournament against Henri Cocet.

 BOAT OUT

There were 500 reindeer carcaSses aboard the M. s. Boxer, Captain Whit lam, master, which left port yester- day for Seattle after spending the lar ger portion of the past season in the Arctic and Boring Seas. In addition the vessel has 42 tons of tin ore as bal last, 200 bundles of reindeer hides, 10 sacks of fox skins and a number of hundreds of pounds of ivory.
 Aside from the 40 reindeer carcass es unloaded in port yesterday there were five bundles of skins destined to the Eklutna school of the Bureau of Education.
 The tin ore was picked up at Tin City and the reindeer were butchered at Point Barrow Point Hope, Kivalina, Kotzebue and at Cape Prince of Wales!
 While at Nome Captain Whitlam reports he made an extra voyage down to Dutch Harbor where $50 tons of coal, brought up from the States on the U. s. Cutter Vega, were taken on board and distributed at many Boring Sea ports and villages of the depart ment.
 Captain Whnlam said as a rule he found the eBring Sea cold and back ward and all through the mining dis tricts operators were complaining of the exceptionally dry season. The Arctic Ocean, at the time he was distributing supplies, was free of ice but when he left the ice pack was not so far away. Slush ice was forming all over the Boring Sea as the Boxer, the last vessel out, kicked up it's stern as she steamed through the Pass. While close to the Arctic ice pack polar bear, measuring over nine feet, was shot.
 Otto Giest, of the Alaska College, who spent the entire past summer at various points in Boring Sea, includ- ing St. Lawrence Island, disembarked from the vessel yesterday leaving for the Interior today. He has many box es of specimens all of which have been shipped to the College. MT.

 At Teller an entire native family of four died from eating decayed seal, Captain Whitlam reported.
 For eight days prior to arriving in port from the Westward Captain Whit liam made four attempts to leave Afog nak but on each ocassion the living gale compelled them to return. Each time they ventured out to sea the ves- sel became almost instantly iced over. This condition, together with the rag ing seas, made 1t impossible to contin- ue South.
