5O,OOO JOIN IN PRAYER FOR
 DEATH OF LORD DEVONPORT.
Great Crowd of Striking London DOckmen Makes Startling Plea to
 God at Meeting.

London. July 25-With barred heads and with their voices raised in unison, 5O,O00 dock strikers here this afternoon praying to Heaven, uttered the words: "Oh, God! Strike Lord Davenport dead''
 That startling plea was made at a meeting on Tower Hill following a parade of the strikers through Lon don. Ben Tillett, one of the strike tion of Lord Davenport, Chairman of the Port of London Authority and a leader among the employees, asked the men to join him in prayer. Then Tillett and the immense concourse, with barred heads, prayed for the death the men was due to the fact that the families of many have been starving since they quit work.
 Joseh Havelock Wilson, President of the International Seamens Union who arrived in this country last Mon- Francisco, already is organizing with view to making another, attempt to call a national strike of transport workers in support of the London dockmen, who have been out on strike for ten weeks. In an appeal issued today to the workers for immediate funds to aid, the starving families, Wilson announces that he intends 10 visit all ports in the United Kingdom and urge that the men be ready Tor action in the event of the London dis pute not being settled favorably to the men.
 In some quarters it is reported, that a general strike of transport workers will be called July 27. There! was a sharp conflict this afternoon between the police and strikers who were at tempting to molest non-union work men Many heads were cracked.

M'LOUGHLIN DEFEATS lARNED

Boston, July 25-Maurice E. Mo- Loughlin of San Francisco won the Longwood lawn tennis singles tourna- ment yesterday by defeating E. P. Larned of Summit. N J., in the chal- lenge match for the Longwood Cup in straight sets. The scores were 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
 As the result of the match the Long wood Cup goes out of the Larned fam fly for the first time in ten years.
 When Larned won the all-comerS tournament at LongWood last year, his brother, William A. Larned, the national champion, who had won three previous trophies outright defaulted to the younger player.
 The match yesterday was the first meeting in any large tournament of Mclaughlin and E. P. Larned and the latter proved no match whatever for the Pacific coast star
 From the first few strokes there was never a moment that Mclaughlin was not the master of the situation. His cross court covering was sweeping in extent as we'll as swift and sure. His net play was like a stone-wall, while off the ground he hit hard and ac- curately.
 Larned fought well at the opening of the third set, but McLoughlin'S pace was too fast. Throughout the three sets, in which twenty eight games were played, only seven went to deuce

''The seasons come, the seasons go, D as the old Yale song has it, and we come around again naturally enough to Ping Bodie the once hard hitting outfielder of the White Sox, right field now, by the way. Away from out West there is an organization known as the ''Bodie Boosters an organiza- tion that has had but little to do of late, for Ping is not up to his pristine form
 He has not made as much noise in the big show this year as he did a wear ago. and the Boosters" are about due to boost The Booster member ship last year spread from San Fran cisco to New York, and there is no town with soul so dead that it cannot boast of at least one of the clan. Time was when nearly every town in the West hustled to get on record as the Napa, Almeda, and even the hamlet of SBodie, Cal, were wont to bask in the effulgence of the glory of Ping Bodie-Were wont to bask in said eff fulgence before it became tarnished and shop worn.
 Vallejo even went so far as to send q delegation on to Chicago<to see it's favorite play, ringing said favorite with floral wreathss and horseshoes, and presenting him with umbrellas, which the thoughtless Ping immediately took out in the rain and got all wet. Oddly enough the Vallejo idol whack- ed the ball out of the park that day, and the delegation went home up- roariously happy. At the Chicago grounds d sign decorates the fence reading, "Ping Bodie spaghetti 25 cents a dish" This is fame indeed.
