Southampton. Vincent Richards lugged home, permanently this time, the Meadow Club's massive challenge trophy from the invitation tennis singles at Southampton (L. I.). In 1920 and 1922, the Yonkers youth had won two legs on his booty, and in clinching it last week he gave a grand and conclusive exhibition. His opponent was Carl Fischer, intercollegiate champion and a victor in earlier rounds over both the California Kinseys and Clarence J. Griffin (who has beaten Alonso of Spain). Richards shot through Fischer, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, with a brilliancy that robbed their match of all dubiety.

Davis Cup. The finals for the preliminary Davis Cup play will find Australia facing France. The Australians removed their semi-final obstacle by taking four out of five matches from Japan at the South Side Tennis Club, Chicago. Zenzo Shimizu was the only oriental to win when he defeated John B. Hawkes in a desperate match in the first day's play.
