THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1916. JAP TENNIS TEAM IS TO PLAY IN D. S. Bracks of Well Known Repute to Try Conclusions on This Side. TO PLAY ACBOSS COUHTB.Y BIO SUMS OF MONEY ABE WON SWEDES UN PULL FROHJHE DANES Captain S&muelson'i Challengers Win Title by Yanking Danes in Twenty-Three Minotet . For the first time in the history of international lawn tennis, the far east will make a bid for premier honors this autumn when the Japanese rac quet stars. K. Kumasai and H Mikami, appear in the American championship tournament at Forrest Hills, L. I., late in August. These two leading tennis players of the Orient are already on their way to this coun try for a three months' campaign on the United States courts and their in vasion will be awaited with great in terest by all followers of tennis, since their records indicate that both play a game which ranks them with the leading tennis experts of this country. While the complete itinerary of the Japanese players will not be known until they reach the Pacific coast, it is certain that they will proceed east- leaning ciuds in exniDition and tourna ment matches as the occasion offers. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and Pittsburgh and New York will be given an opportunity to see the Japenese in action on the courts be fore the national championships and after the titular tournament, Kumagai and Mikami return to the Pacific coast by another route, playing oc casional matches prior to embarking for Japan. Loses Tough Match. Apparently this will be the only in vasion of foreign athletes during the coming season and because of the prominence and ability of the Ja panese, should attract far more than usual attention to the leading court tournaments of the summer since both Kumagai and Mikami have several times demonstrated their ability to hold their own across the n'et with the ranking players of the United States. As far back as 1913 Kumagai, then a student at Keio university, appeared at the far eastern championships and fought his way to the semi-finals where he was defeated by Elia Fot trell, 7-5, 4-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, in a match which was carried over into the sec ond day. Later with a partner he lost to Fottrell and William Johnston, present American champion, in a dou ble match by scores of 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Two years before Kamagai had never seen a tennis racquet or ball and his first game was played with a dis carded racquet of an English resident of Japan and a red rubber ball such as small children amuse themselves with by bouncing on the sidewalks. Some idea of his progress within the last three years can be gained from the fact that last January he returned to Manila and won the championship of the Orient from a field which in cluded Clarence Griffin, number seven in the United States, ranking for last season, and Ward .Dawson, who is ranked in the third' ten for the same period. When the semi-final round was reached there remained Kumagai and Mikami, representing Japan and Grif' fif and Dawson from the United States.; Griffin defeated Mikami, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, while Kumagai won from Dawson at 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. When Griffin met Kumagai in the final round the pair proved very evenly matched and while the Japanese expert won in straight sets it was only after a ter rific court battle with two sets out of three going to deuce, score being 10-8, 6-3, 10-8. During the American sea son Griffin had won matches from R. Norris Williams, Irving Wright, George M. Church, Ward and Fottrell and worked his way into the fifth round of the National Championship tourney, where he was put out by Johnston, the ultimate winner, in a nard four-set match. Kumagai and Mikami will play in both the doubles and singles at the Forest Hills National Championships. Dawson and Griffin defeated them in the final round of the Orient doubles by scores of 6-4, 6-4, 10-8, the Ja panese being rather weak in the team work so necessary to win in doubles play. Of the two Kumagai is the bet ter player having a puzzling Jeft hand service and a terrific fore and back hand drive, coupled with an uncanny ability to make returns from almost any angle and portion of court. He does not conserve his energy in play, but is apparently tireless upon the :ourt and a master of tennis tactics. Experts are already predicting that one or both of the Japanese players will prove a sensation at the titular tournament and upset many of the American racquet stars before the finals are reached.

Two districts were suggested and two ordinances introduced, be lieving in this manner the law might be circumvented, but City Attorney Rine holds that suc'h a subterfuge will not hold in court and cited to the history of the Twenty-second street case as evidence.
