WRIGHT WINS
FROM ALEXANDER
FORMER CHAMPION SHOWS
RARE FORM
Bostonlan VIII Play with Champion
William Larned Today for
the Championship
Title

BY Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 2S.-After
coming through to the finals without
missing a single set, and administer
ing most unexpected defeat to former
Champion William J. Clothier in the
semi-finals, Fred B. Alex Of New
York today suffered a crushing defeat
at the hands of former Champion Beals
C. Wright of Boston in the final match
in the all-comers national tennis tour
nament at the Casino.
Only three sets were required to de-
eide the match, and in each set Wright
was the winner by the score of 6-3.
Alexander showed surprising reversal
of form and his strokes, while brilliant
at times, were very erratic. The for
mer champion, who has appeared a
trifie careless in some OF his matches
in this tournament, was at his best
today, and his accurate shots and clever
passes were loudly applauded by the
large gallery.
Tomorrow Wright will meet Cham
pion William A. Larned of Annapolis
Md, in the match for the title. While
Larned, up to today, has generally
been looked upon as well assured of
the retention Of the championship for
another year, the showing made by
the Boston man today caused the ex-
perts to feel much in doubt tonight as
to the probable outcome of tomorrow's
contest.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 2S.-On the
arrival Of the American Hawaiian

from Salina Cruz, Mexico, the an
nouncement was made that Southern
California will be brought into COM

seven important steamer lines whose

forward their cargoes via that road
TO Salina Cruz on the Pacific side,
whence the freight will be shipped up
the coast lin the American Hawaiian
steamers, and such portions OF the COT
% as are consigned to Southern Cali

The lines whose vessels will run 10

shipped from Europe, has been carried
to New York, thence to the Atlantic
terminus of the Tehuantepec line and
forwarded over that road, and steamer
direct to San Francisco. Under the
new arrangement freight from Europe
for Southern California will be shipped
to San Diego without going to San

John {. BossIer Reported Indebted ia
Wholesale Grocery House for
Large Sum Received
as Collector

John e. Bossler Of 1910 South Bonnle
Brae street, one of the best known OF
the younger business men In the city.
was arrested at Also and Los Angeles
streets last night by Detectives Boyd
and Jones and lodged In central police
station on charge Of felony embezzle-
ment.
Bossler until his arrest last night was
in the employ Of Haas, Baruch & Coz
wholesale grocers, as bookkeeper. Re-
Gently he has also been making local
collections for the firm, and 1t Is said
that a large amount of the money
which thus came into his hands has
been converted to his own use.
The firm made the discovery several
days ago that there was something
wrong with the accounts Of Bossler,
and made a quiet investigation. This
showed that a number of bills reported
as outstanding had, as matter of fact.
been collected. The investigation was
carried on until yesterday, when the
total amount of the shortage In Boss
ler's accounts was shown to be very
large.
Yesterday he was told to report to
the office last night to perform littleH
extra routine work, and when he ar
rived at the Office ne was taken into the
bookkeeping department and shown the
accounts.
1t is said that the young man made
no denial OF his guilt, but stated that
If given time he would be able to make
up the shortage.
The members of the firm, it is assert
ed, declined to make any compromise
with him last night. and ordered his
arrest, the officers having been sent for
previous to Bossler's coming to the
store.
Bossler is well known in this city and
Is very popular In the younger society
set, and the news Of his arrest will
come as a shock to hundreds of his
friends.
It is alleged that fast living and ex-
travagant habits, and dip now and
ten into the speculative stock market,
is responsible for his downfall.
While the specific charge against
Bossler is that he converted to his own
use the sum of $500 collected by him for
the firm, the shortage In his accounts
is said to be much larger.
Bossler will be presented in police
court today to answer to the charge
and a date for his preliminary examin-
alton will be set.
