WELDING HOLDS HIS TITLE.
Beats Gore for Lawn Tennis Cham
pionship Of England.

WIMBLEDON. England, July GAN
thony F. Wilding OF New Zealand retain
ed the lawn tennis championship Of Great
Britain yesterday by defeating Arthur
W. Gore. the English player, by three
sets to one. The score was 81, e.,
46, 81. 1t was his third winning of
the title in succession.
After he had successfully defended his
title year ago. Anthony
F. Wilding issued q statement in which
he came out in favor Of the champion
playing through the tournament each
year and not standing out for q challenge
match. He advanced excellent reasons,
and especially cited the case Of H. Roper
Barrett. his challenger at that time, who
had Wilding level at two sets all. and
the overpowering heat Of the day, and
the fact that Barrett had come through
q grueling on the previous day In the
final round OF the tournament against
C. p. Dixon.
Arthur w. Gore. whom Wilding defeat
ed yesterday, was a member of the first
team that challenged from the British
Isles for the Davis International chal-
lenge cup. He acted as its captain and
has several times held the English cham
pionship. Barrett. last years challenger.
His score last year was "a. "a. %,
Go. defaulted. Barrett had beaten
Dixon. who was captain OF the British
Isles team last year, at 81. +6, 64.
63, 6-1. Wilding Is a radical In his
lawn tennis tendencies and is expected to
bring about some marked changes in the
playing rules OF the game in England.

PARAGRAPH AFFECTS
POSTMASTERS' MEETINGS
Officials, Under Appropriation
Bin, Cannot Attend to
Instruct.

While the paragraph in the District of
Columbia appropriation bill which for
bids the expenditure OF any money pro-
vided by the act for membership fees
or dues Of any officer or employee Of the
United States or of the District Of Co.
lumbia in any society or association. or
for expenses Of attendance Of any person
at any meeting or convention Of members
of any society or association" will seri-
ously hamper the Post Office Department.
it is said, in its present method Of reach
ing postmasters for instructions when
their state conventions meet, its early
discovery has prevented hardships to any
one.
Auditor Cram of the Post Office Depart
ment said today he could not approve any
bill for such expenses. although 1t was
explained that the provision In the act
did not prevent the department from de-
failing officials and others to confer with
postmasters for the best interests OF the
service.

Say Plan Worked Well.

Many changes have been made In the
methods employed in the postal service
during the last two years. and 1t ls
claimed they were successfully put into
operation because the departmental Of
ficers were enabled to talk directly to the
postmasters at their conventions and ex-
plain the various changes in detail much
better than could be- done by printed cir
cular or letter. In dealing with large
numbers of postmasters, 1t Is claimed, the
personal instruction method has been
found to save expense and to procure the
best results.
While the paragraph excerpts in its pro-
visions the payment of fees. dues. or ex-
penses authorized to be paid by specific
appropriations for such purposes, or pro-
vided for in express terms In some gen.
eral appropriation" 1t Is claimed its terms
are sufficiently prohibitive to interfere
with. II not to entirely prevent. the per-
sonal and oral method of instruction In
many cases. The department officials feel
that Congress was not fully informed as
to the facts before the law was enacted.
and some Of them believe the law will be
repealed.
