.LARNED IS STILL
TENNIS CHAMPION
Triumphs Over Clothier in Ctals
lenge Round, Three Sets /
to Two.

NEWPORT, r. L, Aug. 2S.-The title
of single lawn tennis champion OF the
United states still rests with William
A. Larned, of Summit, N. J., who sue
cessfully defended it against the win
ner of the twenty-ninth all-comers'
tournament on Newport Casino courts.
William J.. Clothier, of Philadelphia,
was defeated. Five sets were required.
the champion taking the first two and
the last, and the scores were 81, e.,
81, IL, 6-1
This is the fifth time in his long ca
reer on the American courts and the
third time in succession that Larned
has won the championship. This puts
his record ahead of r. G.. Wrenn's rec
ord as champion, and makes it second
only to thai of the first American
champion, Richard d. Sears, who held
the title seven years and won W ma
tional cups. Larned won his first cup
in 1907, and now has two legs on q
second. $50
Clothier won the championship in
1906. In his progress through the ALL
corners tournament this year his
strongest opponents were Karl H. Behr,
from whom he won the final round in
this championship year, and Morris p.
Mclaughlin, the young Californian.
In yesterdays match Clothier was
decidedly off his usual form, while
Larned was in excellent condition. After
taking the first sets easily, his OPP
ponent scoring but A earned points in
each, Larned tried an experiment. He
quit his usual net game and stuck
closely to the back court for a couple
of sets. The champion found, however.
that his policy was dangerous, for 1t
cost him both sets. Then, with the
game 2 all anG the excitement intense
in the large gallery, Larned returned
to the net and easily demonstrated his
mastery over the challenger, allowing
him but one game in the final set.
An analysis of the play shows that
in earned points Larned scored s aces
and 60 places to ) aces and 30 places
by Clothier. Larned made 36 out, 80
nets and 7 double faults, while Cloth
ier's errors consisted of Al outs, 20 nets
and 9 double faults.
The points were as follows.

"I never saw better looking wheat
in my life than l saw in the vicinity
of Cayuse and on the north side of
the river" declared Jack Bryant,
former county stock inspector, this
morning. The grain is fully six inch
es high and has stooled out until it
is about as thick as 1t can stand.
Mr.. Bryant has been over a great
part of the reservation in the last few
days in connection with the surveys
for the stock roads across the reser-
vation. While grain on all parts of
the reservation is looking exception
ally good he was particularly struck
with the appearance of that in the
vicinity of Cayuse station.
He attributes the difference to the
belief that that section of the county
was visited with heavy rains early in
the fall while the part of the reser-
vation south and west did not get the
rains until later.
That the growing wheat does not
need rain and can do without 1t for
several weeks is also the belief of Mr..
Bryant. He says there seems to be
plenty of moisture in the ground yet
and that the surface is loose enough
to permit of good growing.

INCIPIENT BLAZE is
NIPPED IN THE BUD

What might have been a serious
fire if not discovered in time, occurred
at the home of George Hamblen on
Garfield street early this morning.
The heating stove in the sitting room
is near the portiers separating that
room from the parlor and in start
ing the fire these became ignited in
some mysterious manner. They did
not blaze up at once but when dis
covered a few minutes later the fire
was making good progress The
burning portiere was quickly torn
from its fastenings by Mrs. Hamblen
and her daughter, and carried into
the yard. Beyond the destruction of
the portiere no damage was done.
