GEORGE LOTT IS
 APT TO BECOME
 NATIONAL CHAMP
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent.

Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept 12.-- (UH)-George M. Lott of Philadel- phia, veteran of four Davis Cup campaigns and twice winner of the United States double title, faced Ellsworth Vines, the sensational Pasadena, Calf, youngster, in the final round of the mems national tennis singles championship here to-day.
 Lott gained his berth in the championship bracket by a deci- sive three set defeat of Johnny Doeg, defending champion from Newark, N. J., while Vines advanc- ed after a stirring five-set battle with Frederick J. Perry, brilliant young British internationalist.
 Lott and Vines have met twice this season and on both occasions the former has been returned the winner. The Philadelphian defeat ed the lanky, 19-year-old coast boy on clay at New Orleans during the winter and Vines, taken i'll with nervous indigestion, defaulted to him in the Southampton final after four sets had been divided
 Second Choice
 Despite this record, Lott will take the court as the underdog. Vines. as a result of his victories in four "big time" tournaments this sum- mer, and his magnificent play in the national so far, has become the peoples choice and will have their backing until he falls.
 Certainly, the California strip ling looked every inch champion in rallying to whip Perry yester- day. Beaten and battered in the first two sets he came back with mighty surge in the last three sets to overwhelm the British star with a barrage of dazzling shots. Not since Tilden ranged the amateur pastures, has a player shown such fiawless stroking, such tremen- dous service, and such a will to win.
 Lott was very impressive in his straight-set route of Doeg. if he plays to-day as he did yesterday Vines will be driven to the utmost to win. Doeg, who only the day before had eliminated Frank Shields, No. 1 man on the 1881 Davis Cup squad, was helpless be- fore Lott's whitening attack.

ALL IS READY FOR
 W'TOWN HORSE MEET TOMORROW

The Watertown Riding and Hunt club presented a scene of great activity this morning. The sun had barely risen over the flag flecked race course when, 1t seemed out of nowhere, a dozen or more assorted exercise boys appeared. mounted on handsome bay, chestnut, black and gray horses, all entered in the races tomorrow afternoon, high spirited as they executed the passage" to the starting line. snorting as they Tipped their velvet muzzles and sniffed the morning air, paving the ground impatiently as they lined up awaiting the starting sig nal. At a word they were off. breeding over the jumps in handy style, now one ahead. now an- other, with jockeys we'll down on their necks, pushing them along to one big barrier after another. One down. and on they swept for three more jumps; another down and the first one Is up again and coming on behind. Crack! A snake fence is smashed, the horse pecks. almost goes down. collects himself and goes on. One. two, three and on up to IF they crossed the finish line. every horse rum ming strongly and well in hand. A scene to stir the blood. tQ make one pound his neiehbor on the back, and shout himself hoarse.
 Then back to the stable for scrape-outs, baths. blankets, a kind pat on the neck and . long

cool-out walk. A dozen grooms, with buckets of water, sponges. rub-rags and scrapers, all talking, each praising or damning some horse, and punctuating their speech with the constantly recur- ring phrase "I betcha."
 To-morrow's hunter trials and races at the Watertown club will be the first show of its kind ever staged in this vicinity. The races in particular have aroused great enthusiasm among horse fanciers. and 1t is expected that larE~ crowd will take the opportunity of- fered to see sepctacle usually thought of as being confined to the hunting counties of England and Ireland All classes are filled, and the committee expects this event to encourage other hunt clubs to take up the cause of racing between the flags. which Is distinctly a novelty in this region. The show starts at 1880 tomorrow afternoon. Those unfamiliar with the way to the club should go to the end of the trolley line in Wa tertown. take the next right turn, and follow that road to the club.

 Leaving out the element of chance, injuries, the fact that each year two or three unknown re- serves or freshmen develop unex- pected talents, and the fact that a great practice player may not have the emotional equipment for actual competition, we find that the following will probably consti- ute Notre Dame's first and second teams this fall. We pick them on the basis of what they have done and not what they may do.

 New York, Sept. 12.-(UP).- Hooks and jabs from the sports world:
 George Lott, who plays Ellsworth Vines in the final at Forest Hills to- day, has had a string tied around his finger all week. Hot-tempered George put the string on before he started the first round to remind him to keep his emotions under control. George, you know, has habit of blowing up when things don't go to suit him. :.
 We overheard George tell a friend the other day that Perry was the only man in the tournament he feared. Which, if George was tell ing the truth, means he thinks he'll take the California boy over the hurdles.
 Al Simmons is batting .380 to .3797 for Babe Ruth to-day. The difference between Ruth and Sim mons, 1t would seem, is matter so infinitesimal that one can only describe it as portrait of a microbe in childhood. It would, in- deed, be an extremely unphilosoph- Iical persons who could resist the ltemptation to speculate on just what the seven-tenths of point might be.
 Our guess is that it was either a foul tip into the left stands, or an extra "umph" that Simmons uttered in striking out. Probably the for mer, for Babe is just about the best "umpher" in the business, when he puts his heart into 1t. On The Gun New York university's football team will practice on the beach, if its grit that Coach Meehan wants his team to have, why doesn't he feed 'em spinach?
 Johnny Doeg has just written a book on how to play tennis. Won der if George Lott happened to get hold of an advance copy? It look ed that way, anyway. George Hamas, brother of Steve Hamas, the sensational young heavyweight, is going to play full back for the Westminster college eleven. If George hits the line as hard as brother Steve smacks 'em on the chin. Westminster won't lack ground-gainer.
 Good Idea The Philadelphia Athletics, with six men on the injured list, continue to play ball. If Manager Dan How | ley was smart he would see to it | that his Cincinnati Reds got into a train wreck.
 Word comes from Orangeburg, where Primo Camera is in training for his fight with Jack Sharkey, that the big Italian had developed corking left lab. Now, if he'll only develop a right. learn how to block, and how to move those No. 22 feet of his around, he'll be good second-rate fighter.
