!the Tribe a l-to-0 defeat at the handslj»f t*£. Tigers. The Indian secondbaseman made a wllfl throw to firston Young's infield hit, and Cobb, afterBush had been retired, dumped asingle in right that chased the runhome. Leonard and Cpveleskie wereStingy with hits.Meusel's Texas league double to

right that scored Bodie and Ward inthe flnal inning gave the Yanks aS-to-l win over the Red Sox. TheNew Yorkers had attained a three-runlead before the fourth inning, butBoston knotted the count in theseventh. Kays relieved Quinn andpitched the last two innings for theYanks, yielding but two hits.One good inning was enough for

There is lj«|e doubt th»t th« pon?injr fpot ball season will over¬

shadow any of tljp past In more way* Jh*n one. In the first pl^ce, every

leading college in the east has made preparations for an intensive prac¬tice, from whjeh it may be judged that coaches i|t general are deter¬mined to sift out their material before October, and thus b? able to startwith something like full strength when the first games of the Uardschedules begin. In the second place, foot ball enthusiasts, in commonwith the .follower! of every sport, have indicated a greater desire for. thegame this year than for twenty ye§rs past. It is not necessary to ^ssigna reason for this. Suffice it to say tbat the big games this fall will drawrecord prowds. It is too early to look beyond l|ie fringes of the season'sprospects, too early to ask fpr details concerning the ptakp-jjp qf any ofthe leading elevens, but at least it is safe tq predict that from a financialstandpoint 1930's foot ball will go down in history as the dinner one.

the game and a switch of fqot balltactics can accomplish it, tl^e gridironsituation in"the' east'should undergoa decided change. Qn}y two of thebig universities In ttije east have re¬tained' their eoathes ^pf last Seasonand the coutitri-'has neve'r seen somany new faces op so piany pewjobs. f

JOHNSTON FACES CANERTILDEN MEETS JOHNSON

FOREST HILLS, N. Y.t September 4..William M. Johnston of SaiFrancisco was matched against G. Colkct Caner of Boston and WillianT. Tilden, id, of Philadelphia against Wallace F. Johnson, also of th<Quaker City, in the semi-final round today of the thirty-ninth annualawn tennis singles championship tournament on the courts of the WesSide Tennis Club here. Johnston, who is playing through the tournamento defend his title, and Caner. a former Harvard athlete, were schedule*to take the courts first at 2 p.m. Tilden, runner-up in the title tournamen:for the last two years, who attracted the attention of the tennis worl<by his recent success on English courts, was scheduled to meet Johnsonfifth man on the ranking list, at 4 o'clock.In yesterday's play Johnston over¬

whelmed Watson M. Washburn, No.of the ranking list. 6.4, 6.4, 7.o,by a masterful performance; Canerdefeated Irving C.

Johastea Drives HarlJohnston and Wasliburn yesterday

offered three sets of the best andmost consistent tennis that has beenseen in the tournament. The cham¬pion was good enough to beat almostany one In the world. The loser'sgame would probably have wonagainst anything but the sustainedperfection of Johnston's play. It wasclose to the amazing form displayedby the tith holder in last year's tinaland that of 1916.Johnston drove the ball so hard that

the thud of his racket could be heaniin the furthest corners of the clubgrounds. But these shots were notwild swings of the average Californiatype, but well controlled placements,often knocking the dust off the linesand seldom missing the court by morethan a few inches. His backhand wasdefensive, but sufficiently severe for.very need, while on service, over¬head and on low volleys he was prac¬tically unbeatable.That Washburn put up any defense

whatever against such a game wasastonishing. But actually he camevery near to playing the champion toa standstill, in spite of the latter'ssupertennis. Just a little more ma¬terial in the pinches might easilyhave turned the encounter into a fouror Ave set match, and if Johnston hadever wavered he might even havegone down to defeat. Washburnslapped the ball across the net with alow trajectory and very little top.finding open territory with unerrir.gaccuracy. He came in often to volley.picking his chances carefully, and1
