TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Fred B. Alexander Ia Defeated by
 ,BeaIs c. Wright.

Newport, R. l.. Aug. 28.-After com ing through to the finals without miss ing a single set and administering a most unexpected defeat to former Champion William J. ClOthier, in the semi-finals. Fred B. Alexander of New York, today suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of former Champion Beals c. Wright of Boston in the final match of the all-comers National Tennis Tournament at the Casino.
 only three sets were required to decide the match. and in each set Wright was the winner by the score of six games to three. Alexander showed a surprising reversal of form and his strokes, while brilliant at times, were very cratic The former champion. who has appeared a tri1e careless in some of his matches, fin this tournament. was at his best to- day and his accurate shots and clever passes were loudly applauded by the large gallery. Tomorrow Wright will meet Champion 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 cham pionship for another year, the showing made by the Boston man today caused the experts to feel much in doubt to- night as to the probable outcome of tomorrow's contest.
 Wright lost only one set throughout the tournament. that being to Nat Emerson of Chicago, in the finals. Wright won the championship in 1905. while the title has fallen to Iarned three times. in 1901. 1902 and 1907.

NEEDS ARE URGENT
DIR. BALDWIN TALKS OF BOND
 ISSUE.
Montgomery Facilities Not Comparable With Those of Troy and WStunp- ka--Improyement Depends
 On Bond Issue.

In statement given out yesterday Dr. B. J. Baldwin President of the Montgomery City Board of Education declares that the necessity for the ad- ditonai school funds dependent upon the pending bond issue Is urgent.
 In his statement pr. Baldwin points out the inadequacy Of Montgomery's school facilities for city of it's size. They are n& comparable, he says. with those of Union Springs, Troy and We tumpa. The improvement of these is dependent upon the bonds carrying
 Dr. Baldwin said:
 q saw this morning an article op- posing the issue of city bonds for the purpose of building more schools. mak- ing the point that the census was short, and consequently no more school buildings are needed. It does not matter whether the census will give us more children or less children of school age in the city of Montgomery. so far as the need of school buildings Ia concerned, for the enrollment of our city schools for the past two or three years will plainly show that we haven't sufficient room to acconp odate those pupils already in attendance.
 During the past year there were six classes of white children practi- caIly on half time, because of the lack of room facilities. Our Boys High School fE an old residence in bad condition, and in every way total ly unfit for school purposes. Even though a large sum of money should be expended on this building, it could not then be converted into modern school. The city must have new Central High School for boys and girls. in winch manual training and domestic science may be taught. A new building provided with modern equipment. including chemical and bi- ological laboratories.
 "The present equipment In this city is not comparable to that of Union Springs, Troy or even Wetumpka. How long can We afford to let this condition of affairs obtain? The prop CT preparation of the children of our community is the one most important thing which concerns our. city today. and l trust that every father and mother will rise to this opportunity and urge the voters to adopt this bond issue by large majority on Septem- Der 21. The necessity is urgent. and if we do not appropriate funds with which to complete this new high school building within the next month or two, 1t will mean a delay for an- other two years"

 with favor from the Memphis officials The plan to restore the player who talked himself out or baseball will be met with opposition by Manager Babb. who was directly charged with having been the ringleader in a conspiracy that the Southern fathers found did
 No denial is made by the Memphis officials but that the scandal which was aired at the June meeting and which ended in f1imsy defense put forth by Stockdale to the effect that he did not make charges credited to him, has damaged the attendance here.
 The receipts of the local season de- clare the officials, will not equal those of any season for two years back.
 Manager Babb also says he has been subjected to all sorts of rldicule by remarks hurled at him at home and on
 For these reasons Babb and the Memphis officials will ask that if Stockdale oe restored that the gates of the Southern League be barred. Failing in this Manager Babb will re- new the charges against Stoekdale with an appeal before the National Commission, Manager Babb's attitude then being one of the prosecutors rather than a defendant and his charge being "thst Stockdale has brought the game into disgraceful repute by making allegations he did not prove"
 Although Stockdale apeared before the meeting of Southern directors in June in Memphis without a witness to vindicate his charges many local peo. pie still take stock in his charges.

More SficrObic Dangers.

Lancet.
 Spontaneous combustion is well known to be the act of micro-organ- isrns. The firing of haystack is near ly always the work of bacterial in- cendiary. Barns, garanaries and spin ming works have thus been destroyed by fire owing to the active oxidizing powers of micro organisms. The care fully gathered crop of cotton or hops may fall to the same destructive agen- cies. The category may be extended. according to recent works on the sub Ject. Even lampblack. charcoal. coal and peat are found to be readily OK idized by common organism< of the soil. a fact which may ultimately establish that after all the micro-or- ganism may account for the spontane- ous heating of coal, for the awful dis aster of the coal mine. In human his tory there have been several appalling disasters arising out of great confiaga- tions the origin of which has remain ed undiscovered.

Insanity Among Household Workers. Boston Transcript.

Insanity Among Household Workers, Boston Transcript.
 The annual report of the insane asylum in England recently published revealed the circumstances that out of 316 patients seventy-four were house. wives and thirty-hve were domestic servants. An inquiry into .the cause of this tendency to mental ills among household workers has been under taken by mental specialist, who Is of the opinion that lack of recreation and of exercise in the open air forms the root of the trouble.
 Women. he further says, it has been proved over and over again, are less able than men to face monotony. And in household duties, as these are often performed. may be found the most spiritless monotony. Remedies for this condition are not far to seek, accepting this specialists conclusion. The dif- ficulty will be found in introducing many housekespers to appreciate the benefits of the ounce of prevention. Women who have gained an intelligent controi- over their time and their households could be of excellent service by the force of example, to helping to solve this particular problem.
