Japan's tennis masters, Kumagae, and Shimidzu, with two defeats chalked against tnem in their battle for the Davis cup, meet the Yankee doubles combination in the third match of the series this after noon, and in victory lies their only hope of prolonging the fray. Against the safe and sane "Little Bill" Johnston, Ichiya Kumagae did not appear at his best in their singles oi-ont vpstprflav. His game was soft, and his stroking generally was not up to par. Kumagae is not sensauonai, but his game usually is marked by ac curacy and a tendency to return so as to get points on his opponent's errors. With Shimidzu, whose court covering and remarkable gets as displayed in his rnotrh nMinst "Bitr Bill" Titdenya, stamp him the most dangerous opponent of the American defenders, kumagae makes a strong double partner. Their opponents this afternoon, Wat son M. Washburn, and R. Norris Will iams, 2nd., are known as one of the most formidable doubles teams in the world-, and are favored by many of the experts. Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, will appear in an exhibition mixed doubles event fol lowing the Davis cup match. Paired with Vincent Richards, the national jun ior champion, she will meet Mrs- May Sutton Bundy, of Los Angeles, and Willie E. Davis, San Francisco.

SPORT SNAP SHOTS There is a little story of J. Franklin Baker, third sacker of the Yankees, which the fans can take or leave, bat Eddie Collins of the White Sox says it is true. According to the tale Baker was ploughing in the fields down in his home one day and a stranger came along, seeking direction to a cer tain nearby point. He hailed Baker and told him what he wanted. The home run prince thought for a min ute and then said in his quiet way: "Oh, yes, he lives right over yonder." And instead of pointing with his hamT he gripped the plough handles, yank ed the ploughshare out of the furrow and held it five feet in the air to clear ly indicate the direction. There have been so many intersec tional college athletic contests during the last year that the task of select-.n-j the national championship in the dif ferent sports is rendered very difficult. As a matter of fact, there were vsiy few sports in which the championship title was really and truly nationa!. About the best that can be said cf them is that they were sectional. In track athletics and rowing most critics are agreed that the national title should go' to the University of California and the U. S. Naval Academy respectively. The I. C. A. A. track and field meet at Boston was really national in char acter. So was the Poughkeepsie re- i gatta. The premier honors are pretty even ly divided between the Naval Academy and Princeton. The Navy won four championships, while Princeton won three, disputes another with the Navy, and divided honors with other colleges in two more. If it were possible to rate the various colleges in accordance with the number of championships they won and the relative positions in which they finished in the other sports, first honors would undoubtedly go to Princeton. By general consent, Princeton was awarded first place in football, al though some of the Western univer sities, particu'arly the University of California, will not recognize this. Thp Tigers won the team championship in tennis, and they were also first in wa ter polo. In golf they divided honors with Da.-tmouth, the Tigter representa tive winning the individual champion- rship. While Princeton men do not lav- claim to the rowing cnampionsnip, they do insist that they deserve to be bracketed with the Navy. The following table shows how tho Eastern universities finished the aca demic year 1920-1921 in eighteen sports: Footoall Princeton. Track California. Rowing Naval Academy. Baseball Penn State. Basketball University of Pennsyl vania. Cross country Cornell. Hockey Harvard. Fencing Naval A cademy. Golf Dartmouth and Princeton. Tennis Princeton, Stanford and Har vard. Swimming Yale. Water polo Princeton. Boxing Naval A cademy'. Gymnastics Naval Academy. Lacrosse Lehigh Trap shooting Yale. As usual, many of these champion ships are awarded in accordance with the opinion of the experts in a par ticular sport. In football, baseball r.a a number of other sports in whic"i there is no national organization, it is impossible to have a clean cut cham pionship. However, in most cases the contenders for first honors are reduced by a process of elimination to two or three institutions. It is then a com paratively easy matter to determine which team deserves to be ranked first. EQUIPMENT P"1 ATHING SUITS This is great weather to enjoy a dip.

With the close of the baseball season a month away, Ty Cobb, pilot of the Detroit Tigers, en ters the home stretch only three points behind Harry Heilmann his slugging outfielder, for the batting honors of the American League. Heilman suffered a slight slump, drop ping from .403 to .398, while the Geor gia pea.ch closed the gap considerably by bringing his average from -392 to .395. , Tris Speaker, leader of the Cleveland club, advanced from sixth to fourth place with an average of .373, which ties George Sisler, the St. Louis star. Babe Ruth, who added one circuit drive to his string of 48. continues in third position with .384. Ruth stretched his total of runs scored to 142 and his 163 hits have given him a total of 364 bases, which is far in front of his rivals. Harris, of Washington, added three more bases to his total and leads with 25 thefts. Other leading batters for 70 or more games: Tobin, St- Louis, .368; Veach, Detroit, .347; E. Collins, Chicago. 344. Rogers Hornsby, star of the St, Louie Cardinals, is giving promise of being the National League leader in several departments. ' He not only has increas ed his batting average to 415, but is threatening to grasp the home run hon ors of the league from George Kelly, the Giant's slugger. Kelly failed to add to his string of 22 homers during: the week, while Hornsby smashed out three round trip blows and is pushing the New York first baseman with 20 . The veteran George Cutshaw, of the Pirates is the runner-up to Hornsby for batting honors, being 64 points be hind with an average of .351- Frank Frisch, of the Giants, the lead ing base stealer, has 43 to his credit.
