MURPHY NOW ADMITS
THAT HE is THE 500 FAN

Chubby ChoIy Murphy with the coy ad-
mission that he is the unknown fan who
gave Heinie Zimmerman the half of
500 bill and promised him the other
half If the Teutonic slugger could get
through two weeks of baseball without
being put out of the game. Murphy
says he had about abandoned all hope
of keeping his lineup intact when he
hit upon the idea of the torn bill
Maybe Murphys idea was to return
to Zimmerman the 500 he had been
fined by 2vers without injuring the feel
ings Of the Trojan.

The drop OF Jordan to second place
was a hard blow for the Valdosta
fans. Otto had been leading the race
for so long that they had thought it
impossible for anyone TO catch him.
However as we stated earlier In the
week, Murphys friends were Just
waiting for the Valdosta fans to ease
up in their work They did and as
a result Murphy is now leading the
race.
Margin a Small One.
But the margin is a very slight one.

OSBORN HALL AT YALE
 MAY GO THIS TIME.
Busy Corner is Best Suited for the Executive Offices of the University.

Neither President Hadley nor Secre- tary Stokes was in New Haven Satur- day, so cerification of the proposal of Hon. William Kent of the class of '87 at Yale to start a fund for building to replace Osborn hall was not obtain ed.
 The project is not taken seriously by the Yale graduates in New Haven. Every once in while the proposal comes from some Yale graduate for such a plan. and that always reviVes the kicking against the building which has been a butt for all the jokes on Yale architecture since its erection. Prof. William Lyon Phelps remarks to his classes annually on the subject Phelps claims that the hall is every thing it shouldn't be, that there is more room wasted than used, that the Sys- tenn of room numbering-invented by a professor of mathematics, by the way --is marvelously intricate and useless, and that the location considered as 8 site for a building of recitation rooms is excellently ill chosen.
 / MT. Rents plan proposes the raising of a fund and the raging of the hall itself. The corner is, of course best adapted for building containing the executive offices of the university. It is nearest the banks of the city, most accessible and the most central. The passing of the trolley cars at the rate of six or seven a minute and the con cert of automobile horns from the machines gathered in front of the hotel render lectures del1vere there exer- cises in the science of inference, for no student seated ten rows from the lecture platform could ever follow the course of a professors address through the entire 40 minutes.

M'LOUGHLIN WON BRILLIANT
 MATCH FROM WILLIAMS
Loser Got One Set, Breaking Winners Clean Score in Tennis Tourran4ent.

Newport, R. L, Aug. 26-The lawn tennis championship record for 1913 was practically completed on the Ca~ siHo grand court today, when Maurice E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco sue ceSsfully defended his own title in sin gles and maintained the Pacific coast supremacy by defeating R. Norris Will of the all l-cemers tournament in well fought four set match. The scores were 6-4, 5-7, e-3, 61-.
 No one of McI4oughlin's six antag- oniStS in the preceding rounds of the tournament handled the champion s sizzling service so confidently and sue ceSsfully as Williams. For two sets and part of the third, the young liar ward sophomore held his own against the champions overhead smashes and, his low spinning drives to the side and base lines. And there were times in the second set when Williams even forced the play until his packers on the short ends of the numerous two to one and three to one bets thought they had glimpses of their money
 The loss of the second set spoiled McL'Oughlin's straight set record for the tournament, but he came back strong in the third set, which was practically the climax of the contest 1t was in the third game of this set that Mclaughlin seemed to have re- gained his mastery of the situation Ever yone of the five points in the game were earned with a decision and 'brilliancy that left little doubt regard ing the ultimate outcome.
 Tn the estimation of the experts, the match in the finals today not only fixed Mclaughlin at number one in American tennis, but placed Williams at number two.
