Face Powerful French Duet in Semi-Final Net Battle. HALTED BY DARKNESS Count Knotted; To Replay Entire Match. By United Press CHESTNUT HILLS, Mass., Aug. 31.—Two youngsters—so far as America’s international tennis stars are concerned —held the spotlight of interest today, for upon their shoulders rested the chance of America to hold her own national doubles title. And these two youngsters, George Lott of Chicago and John Hennessey of Indianapolis are making the most of their chances. Thursday in the Longwood Bowl Hennessey and Lott showed the greatest gameness an American team has shown in years. They faced the team of Jacques Brugnon, and Henri Cochet, the Wimbledon doubles champions, in the semi-finals of the national championship. There was a fire to the play these two presented. Lott and Hennessey smashed. They volleyed off mid-court. They lobbed from back court and they smashed down the sidelines to the final baseline. The first two sets went to the Americans at 6-4, 6-4. A hot summer sun was beating down. The dash of their play, coupled with the intense heat, had weakened them, while Cochet and Brugnon, veterans in international play and wily when it comes to wearing down their opponents, had conserved somewhat. The next two sets went to the Frenchmen, but after bitter battles in which Hennessey and Lott deuced each set and almost every game. The score was 7-5, 7-5 for the Frenchmen. Then they went into the final deciding set. It was a repetition of the two previous sets. Every point was hotly contested. The Americans called upon their fagging strength to smash, volley and drive. The sun kept sinking lower. Finally, when the count was four all, the referee called a halt. Today the two teams will meet again to play the entire semi-final match again, a match which will mean the loss of the title to the United States or will mean that Lott and Hennessey must meet Gerald L. Patterson and Jack Hawkes, the Australians, in the finals. Patterson and Hawkes defeated Wilmer Allison, Ft. Worth, Texas, and John Van Ryn, Orange, N. J., 6-4, 6-3, 7-9, 6-4. Allison and Van Ryn were seeded No. 2 of the American teams while the Australian 'earn was seeded No. 2 of the foreign teams.

World’s Champ Is Knocked Out By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Young Jack Thompson, California Negro welterweight, won a scheduled ten-round bout from Champion Joe Dundee here Thursday night by a technical knockout in the second round. The champion’s title was not at stake, since Thompson had agreed to enter the ring overweight. 4 Carrying the fight from the opening bell, Thompson stung Dundee with a terrific double-fisted attack which left the champion groggy before the end of the first round. A smashing right to the jaw dropped Dundee for a coant of eight ej.rly in the second period. He staggered to his feet only to go down a second time before the referee ended the fight. “Dolly” Stark, National League umpire, recently signed a two-year contract with Dartmouth to coach basketbalL He has coached there four years already.

McGraw Again Has Jack Scott

■ ...

JOHN M’GRAW again has brought Veteran Jack Scott from the minors to aid his New York Giants in a pennant fight.
