Remain in Tournament on the
Courts at Newport.

Newport. Aug. 22-After the eliminating
matches Of the third day OF the National
Lawn Tennis Championship had been
completed this afternoon. only sixteen of
the us entries remained As the field
stands. it is pretty evenly balanced be-
tween the top class players and the
youngsters.
Champion Clothier found II necessary 20
visit the hospital today, where his injured
leg received attention. and he was told
that he must refrain from all thought Of
athletic competition or he would become
a cripple. This throws the burden Of the
winning the title for this year upon one
Of the survivors now on the list
As the card stood at the beginning OF
the .day, Il was a round of competitions
between the veterans and those Of less
experience. The most important Of
these proved the chief feature on the
championship stretch Of turf before the
grand stand. and resulted in William a.
Larned making q runaway win from Irv-
ing c. Wright in three straight sets
Clarence Hobart and Frederick G. An
derson also won in the upper half with
Larned.
In the lower half there stHl remain the
DeSt of t8e younger dsplEdnIs, including
Richard =. Palmer, who so sensationaTy
outplayed' Karl II. BehT. the information
alist, OF the opening day; Nathaniel ".
Niles, Of Harvard. and Robert lie Roy, OF
Columbia.
Besides It's being the starred match OF
the day, considerable interest was at
tached TO Larned's meeting with Irving
Wright because Of the fact that the vet
eran had not been at his best in several OF
his recent matches. There was a great
turning out Of the fashionable gallery
despite the fact that the clouds threatened
rain. Larned began the service when
once the pair got started. and from the
outset he never wavered IN playing
rings around his young opponent Over
head Larned was invincible His per-
formance was frequently applauded The
show of brillisncy on the part of
Larned sent his stock up as the probable
winner Of the tourney in no uncertain
way. As matters now stand his strongest
opponent in his half of the draw is Clar-
ence Hobart his old-time rival

EXPELS A SOCIALIST
Wurttemberg Orders Editor
Quelch Out OfStuttgart.
ISLANDERS HAGUE MEETING
English Delegate Calls Peace Con-
ference Thieves supper" - Goes
without Offering Resistance and
Thus Avoids Arrest and ImprIson-
ment-Is Looked Upon as a Martyr.

Stuttgart Aug. Z2.-At yesterdays meet
ing of the International Socialistic Con-
gress, an English delegate named Quelch
referred to the peace conference at The
Hague as "a thieves supper. at which
the governments were arranging how to
carry on murder and exploitation all over
the world as cheaply as possible. To-day
Queleh was ordered out Of town.
This elected laughter and cheers from
the delegates. but when the government
OF Wurttemberg, in which state Stuttgart
IS heard Of Mr.. Quelch's slur on the con-
ference. it did not take a humorous view
Of it. but sent word TO the congress that
unless the expression thieves supper
was withdrawn and Quelch apologized he
would be expelled from Wurttemberg.
At to-day's session OF the congress
Quelch refused 70 apologize, saying that
his words had been mistranslated by the
translator who had put them into French.
He said he had not called the diplomatists
at The Hague murderers and thieves. He
had spoken only Of a thieves supper
which, he said, was a common expression
with English Socialists in describing a
meeting Of representatives of capitalistic
interests. He was not responsible for the
mistranslation of his words and stuck 20
what he had said. He had nothing to
withdraw.
Quelch Ordered Out of Town.
The police this evening served notice
on Quelch to leave Wurttemberg within
ten hours. The document ordering his
expulsion stated that Quelch's explana-
ton Of his Objectionable remark was not
satisfactory. Quelch decided to comply
with the order without resistance. so as
not 10 bring the conference IN conflict
with the authorities If he defed the
order he would be forcibly expelled. and
II he afterward returned he would be liza
bic 10 six weeks imprisonment
The British delegation had invited their
comrades to a social gathering this even
ing, and the occasion was seized upon TO
give an ovation TO Quelch, who was the
hero Of the moment
Herr Be5el, the well-knOwn German
Socialist. expressed regret TO the British
delegates for the expulsion OF QuelCh,
saying that although the incident was
unprecedented in Wurttemberg, similar
occurrences were only too frequent IN Ger
many. He hoped some day they would all
meet IN free Germany. Quelch IS editor

but the packers expect TO have the wag-
ons fully manned tomorrow morning.
There is a chance. however, that the
small stock butchers, the beef cutters.
and the luggers will go ont in sympathy
and in that event the situation would be-
come serious for New York meat consum-
ers. There are only 50O Of the striking
teamsters, but they comprise practically
the entire force in the employ of the big
wholesalers. They deliver the meat from
the packing houses and abattoirs along

agreement. with no definite stipulation

been working more than 20 hours. The
teamsters also wanted 10 be relieved Of
some Of their work in carrying the teef
