The oil tank steamer Whittier which
had been battling the recent storm of
the Columbia bar for forty hours, con.
cluded yesterday morning to cross in.
in the wake of the Portland.San Fran.
cisco liner Columbia, which had taken
the raging bar like a sea.gull. She did
very well till she reached the crest of
the bar, when she met and took on
board wall of running water that
caused her master to log bad accident.
Il seems that the steward of the
ship, J. p Wallace man of about 50
years, had curiosity to notice the
behavior of the Whittier under the
stress Of the smashing bar sea, and he
opened one of the sea doors in the for.
ward bulkhead to better observe things,
and did it first in time to catch the
fearful force of the sea that came
aboard with its hundred or more tons
of water. The sea drove the door
against Wallace. pinning him to the
bulkhead and literally tore the door
into fragments, cutting his face and
chin badly and wrenehing his spine
very badly. She reached the city chan.
mel shortly afterward and Mr.. Wallace
was brought ashore and taken to st.
Mary's Hospital where he was promptly
and successfully treated by Dr.. Jay
Tuttle, and at a late hour last night
was reported as resting as comfort
ably as his wounds would permit and
beyond the danger point.

ALL-ENGLAND TENNIS TOURNEY.
Miss May Sutton Only American to
Contest Championship,

Miss May Sutton of Pasadena, Cal, alone
upheld the honor of the United States in
the AIl-England lawn tennis championships
at Wimbledon yesterday William A. Lar
ned and William J. CIothier went down in
defeat in the doubles, and Holcombe Ward
and Beals C. Wright postponed their match
against S. H. Smith and Frank l.. Riseley.
In the semi-final round of the women s
doubles Miss Sutton and Miss Morton beat
the Misses Boothley and Brown Ga, 6-1.
Miss Sutton has literally taken the breath
from all her opponents by her dashing and
insistent game, meeting them at all points
in speed and generalship.
In the third round of the open mixed
doubles however, Miss Sutton met her first
reverse. Paired with Holcombe Ward, the
American champion, defeat came at the
hands of Reginald F. Doherty and Miss
Smith. In a close well-contested match
the English pair won ca, Cd.
The American-Au match In the
doubles was the feature of yesterdays play.
Notwithstanding their defeat the Americans
played a strong game and gave their oppon-
ents some uneasiness Norman Brooks and
Walter Dunlop, however outgeneraled the
Americans. 1t was fine exhibition, but
the New Zealanders won on their merits by
a score of Ga, CO. 2-6. 81.
In the final round OF the singles Brooks
beat Smith, and. consequently, the cham
pionship lies between England and Austria
lasia, while in the doubles England, Amer
lea and Australasia are still in the game.
The American lawn tennis players will
have a walkover in the first round for the

NEW AUTO RECORDS
Webb Jay Turns Out Mile in 4S As
Seconds

Worlds automobile records were broken
with dazzling frequency yesterday at Nor
ris Park, New York. Webb Jay of the
Chicago Automobile Club headed the list
of record performances with a mile against
time in 4S As seconds. This is the fastest
mile ever made In an automobile on cir
cular track.
The former record was SO 1-5 seconds
made by Louis Chevrolet at Morris Park on
June IT. Mr. Jay, who drove a Is to 20
horsepower White steamer, covered mile
in 40 3-5 seconds on Monday at Morris Park,
but the performance was not accepted as q
record, as it was made In competition.
In the second heat for the Thomas cup
horsepower car, covered mile in 90 is sec
onds. This mile. too. was made in competi
ton, so does not stand for the record.
Nor was the record breaking all confined
to the high power cars. E. Parker, driving
"a horsepower Fiat Junior, established a
new worlds record of SO 4-5 seconds for
mile for middle-weight cars. The mark

earlier by Guy Vaughan in 40 horsepower
Decauville. The former record was As 40
seconds made by Joe Tracy In the Renault
machine at Empire City track.
Interesting and exciting as the trials
against time were, these were not the only
features OF the meet. In the final heat for
the Thomas cup. which was contested be-
tween Webb Jay and Walter Christie, the
former won the most magnificent contest
ever witnessed on race track between two
autos. Each had previously won one heat,
and it was decided to contest the final at
four laps.

ton OF has been" players. number OF
whom were none other than diRnifed citi-

name OF Rusty Nails" The game was an
interesting one in spite OF the numerous
handicdps and the Rusty Nails eacour-
aged the young boys by permitting them
selves to be defeated % by score OF 4
to 10.
At O'Clock in the afternoon all Kcnsing-
ton and residents for miles around assem-
bled At the bah park. where they witnessed
an interesting game OF ball between the
Law Reporter Company's nine and the first
kensingtons. The game was one of the
most exciting played here this season, for
although Kensington was ahead from the
start the visitors put up stubborn fight
which lasted to the very end of the game.
Among the features of the game were a
three-base hit by George krouse and two
base hits by Wire Young and Droyger.
Grant and Lawler showed considerable
activity in stealing bases. Both pitchers
were in excellent shape. Wheatley struck
+. ErOuse for the home team struck out

The lineup Of both clubs and their indi-
ViGual accomplishments were as follows;
