We're necessary.
He alluded to the establishment of
the Home for the Feeble Minded and
the rebuilding of the State House as
important achievements of his admin
istration. He said that the Democrats
had made much of the statement that,
Jan l., 1911, S66, 600 remained unpaid to
the old soldiers Of the state, but Moth
ing had been said by the Democrats
about the fact that, Jan. l, 1912, sS4,F50
due the soldiers for State pensions
was unpaid.
The Democrats also claimed that
Jan. l. 1911. sS4116 was due the towns
for free high schools, but nothing had
been said by them aho6t s115724 that
was due the towns on free high
schools, Jan, l. 1912. al4
He called the attention of his hear
ers to the fact that the appropriations
for the first year of the Plaisted adj
ministration were $4,000 more than
the first year of his administration. 5

Far West Takes the Tennis
Doubles from the Fasteners.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 21.-The ma
tional lawn tennis championship in
doubles was transferred from the Eass
to the Far West, today. for the first
time. when Maurice E. Mclaughlin
of San Francisco and Thomas c. Bum
dy of Los Angeles wrested the title
from Raymond D. Little and Gus
tave f. Touehard of New York, last
on the Casino courts The scores of
the match. which was played before
an eager crowd of more than 1000,
were 1856. 60, 6-1. rs.
While this doubles event was be-
ing played out on the grandstand
court, matches in the tournament for
the singles championship were play
ed on adjacent courts. 1t was not un-
til darkness fell that Is of the Is con-
tests in the fourth round of the tour
nament had been decided. The re-
naming match in this round will be
played, tomorrow.
AS all the singles matches fulfilled
expectations, the contest in doubles
was easily the star event of the day.
While So games were necessary Tor
the Westerners to establish their SUI
premacy, the struggle was soon over,
for very few of the games went to
deuce. Even in the final set there were
but two deuce games and those were
short ones.
The challengers were easily the
masters of the situation. although
Bundy was bothered somewhat In the
first set by the fusilade of shots
which Little and Touchard aimed at
his side of the court in the belief that
he might not have fully recovered
from his slight Illness of yesterday.
But the little Californian seemed ITO
grow stronger rather than weaktr as
the match went on and by the mid
die of the second set he was seprinS
almost as many places as McI.aush
lin while some of his net work equal
lied that of his brilliant partner. Fur
thermore, the Californian showed a
fine style of team play in addition
to being very steady and alert to

aggressive and some of his cross
court shots in the last set had the
speed almost of rifle ball. A few
went wild and several of the specs

of the Eastern PAIN for Touchat had
difficulty in keeping within the ehallc

The doubles Championship was taken
to Chicago in 1896 by C. B. and S. r.
