...everyone expected, on the showing of the teams in the semifinals, that Van Ryn & Allison would reverse the beating they took from Vines & Gledhill in the Newport final last fortnight. Instead, Vines suddenly went to the very peak of his game, dominated the match completely, poured into court a stream of bullet serves, volleys at incredible angles, drives that caught Van Ryn & Allison ankle-high.

To raise money for conservation the American Game Association introduced a bill in Congress providing for a $1 Federal hunting license, met a counter proposal from the More Game Birds in America Foundation...
