 Former Champion Coming from
 Washington.
 From Washington President L. c. Williamson Is surely coming and Charles Williams is another player from the capital to be counted upon. A former champion from Washington Clifford Howard, who as a boy wonder took the title at IS. is coming here again after an absence of several years. Massachusetts will send it's quota. headed probably by Professor Charles Jacohus. and Willimantic is expected to share in the tournament A. D, Spellman. vice president of the national association. has an excellent court al his home in that city and there is much interest there. Whether Norwich will enter players seems to be doubtful now, although there may be some material by next week. It is planned to do away with the third division this year, unless it is re- quired by the overflow from the first two.
 In the campaign that started in this city Monday under the direction of Secretary Perry, Benjamin M. Bruce and his assistants disposed of 100 tickets and this encouraging start frightened the hopes of the rogue man. agement.
 Statement by Mayor Murphy. Further prospect of success was fur nished by Mayor Murphy's statement and the letter of President Frank H. Smith to the business men of the city The mayor said:
 I think when the people of Norwich become alive to the fact that there is great danger of losing the annual visit and games of the National Roque as- sociation the committee of young men Tx-h boXy yn1y tIniT iy1 selling tickets will have no trouble about getting support of every citizen of Norwich.
 The association, composed of expert roque players from all points of the United States, some of them coming city for many years We have al- ways welcomed them and are pleased to have them Witli>us, but we, as citi- zens, have received them without giy- ing the least thought in regard to the entertainment of the out-of-tow members and the care of the grounds. Now the local members of the as sociation are appealing to the citizens for the aid that should have been given years ago. and I do think the members of the ticket committee will be received by the business men and all others with She support that is due them.
 There is no question in my mind but the people will give the required assistance this year
 President Smith Issues Letter.
 MT Smiths letter was as follows
 Norwich. Conn, Aug. II, 1913. MT. Businessman, Dear Sir:
 It has been suggested that in place of merchants of the city donating eer- tain articles or sums of money to the National Raque association as has been the practice in former years they sub scribe for a number of tickets at 50 cents each These tickets are trans ferable and can be disposed of to em- ployes OF patrons.
 As president of the Norwich Bus mess Mems association I heartily ap- prove of this method of increasing in tefest in the association and earnestly request your cooperation in behalf of the association which yearly brings to Norwich many citizens to participate in and witness this national sport
 F. H. SMITH,
 President.

STEAMER BLOCK ISLAND
 NEARLY RAN DOWN SLOOP. Small Sailing Boat Veered in It's
 Course Sunday.

On her return trip from Block Isl- and to this city Sunday afternoon the steamer Block Island narrowly escaped running down 8 small sloop off Noank Had the accident actually occurred the skipper of the sloon would have alone been responsible, in the opinion of those who witnessed the occurrence. Without the slightest warning the sloop veered sharply from her course and directly into the path of the steamer.
 Captain Hazard took in the situation with rare presence of mind and, giving the signal to slow down. he gave the wheel a sharp turn to starboard, clear ing the sailing craft by narrow mar gin. Passengers on the steamer had breathlessly watched the proceedings and when the sloop was left safely in rear there was an audible sigh of re- lief The name of the soop was not learned on board the steamer.

GOT IN THE WAY
 OF AN AUTOMOBILE. John Gregoire Was Rolling Hoop in Franklin Street When Knocked Down.

About 5,30 o'clock Monday afternoon John Gregoire, who lives on Franklin street, got in the way of the Punabout owned and driven by Dr, John w. Cal lahan and a delivery wagon, ss a re- suit of which he was knocked down, re- eeiving, however, only slight injuries. The small boy was rolling a hoop at the time, and said he did not see either the auto or the wagon, Dr, Callahan, who was running his machine slowly at the time, is of the opinion that the runabout did not knock the boy down but several who saw the accident said they thought that the boy got too near the machine and was struck by one or the mud guards. The doctor stopped his machine immediately and the boy was taken into the store of Meyer BruckneF, where an examination show CT that the only injury sustained, was a lump of fair sized proportions which was probably caused when the lad struck his forehead on the road when he fell. The boy was able to go to his home without assistance shortly after the accident.

Washington, June 16.-Plans Tor a
permanent government on the canal
zone will not be put into effect un-
til the formal opening of the canal
in January, 1915, Secretary Garrison
announced today. In the meantime
the zone government will continue as
heretofore, with such notifications as
changing conditions may demand.
Secretary Garrison has conferred
frequently during the past week with
Col. Goethals, chairman of the 18TH
mian canal commission, and he has
asked the colonel to submit from
time to time recommendations ss TO
