STRACHAN WINS;
GRIFFIN BEATEN
One San Francisco Tennis
Star Left to Play in
Finals

OMAHA, Neb., July 25.-M errill
Hall, New York, and John Strachan,
San Francisco, won their matches in
singles today and tomorrow will play
for the singles championship OF the
fourth national clay court tournament
at the Omaha Field club.
Hall beat Clarence Griffin. San Fran
cisco. 2-s, 6-4. IS, 12-10. while
Strachan defeated Fred Harris Brat
tleboro, VT, 5A7, s-2. 7-5. e-4.
The largest gallery of the week was
present and interest in the matches
was keen. a4stN
Harris became III at the close of his
first set and had to retire for a while
to the clubhouse Because OF his In
disposition the matches in doubles
were postponed till tomorrow Har-
won the spectators admiration and
many declared We're 1t not for his Ill
ness he would have won his match
At first the easterner played his
usual brilliant game and kept
strachan on the jump by his back
court and at tho net, finally winning
the first set He weakened consider
fornian continued In form and easily
took six out of the eight games
played
Harris returned little refreshed
after short rest, but though he
played a great game he could not
stem the tide of defeat and he lost
the next two sets and the match.
In the Hall-Griffin match, the lat
ter won the first set easily, outplaying
his opponent at all times. In the next
set Hall strengthened wonderfully, and
though Griffin kept In form the east
erner outfigured him and won.
BY this time Hall had found the west
ern boys weak points, kept him play
ing in the back court and won a close
fight.
The next set was the best from the
spectators point OF view of the tourney.
Griffin, in vain endeavor to win
his match, focused his play on Halls
weak points. Time and again through
out the long drawn out set he had but
the match point to win, but Hall would
come back with great skill and deuce
the games.
Hall husbanded his strength and
finally gained the necessary lead OF
two games.
Griffin, though at times playing a
much more spectacular game than his
opponent, lacked the stamina for a
grueling contest.
One of the features of the program
today was the exhibition matches of
tho lady champions. Miss Mary X.
Brown and Mrs. Williams.

game for Dixon on his service, Will
liams playing the balls out Of the court.
Both played at the back of the court,
but when Williams began to go TO the
net he outplayed the veteran, smash
ing everything in sight.
Dixon's deceptive service gave the
American considerable trouble.
Williams hard and accurate smash
ing secured him several games. but
Dixon outplayed him at passing. There
was a series OF spectacular smashes
and brilliant volleying, and in the de-
Gliding game Williams had the veteran
running all over the court after his
drives.
In the second set Dixon seemed to
have braced up and obtained sub
stantial lead of four times TO one.
Williams then took hard deuce game,
but Dixon recovered and took the set
by six games to three.
DIXON LOSES GOODNESS
The third set opened with a pretty
back court rally. Williams played
easily, while Dixon seemed to lose some
of his GOODNESS. Williams won the
eighth game and the set with a great
smash.
In the fourth set Dixon soon OBJ
tanned commanding lead OF to 1. and
finished by taking the set, leaving the
score to 2 sets.
The fifth and deciding set was a Sc
we're one. There was a desperate deuce
game soon after the start, which was
taken by the Englishman.
Williams service then improved and
he obtained a lead of three games to
two His form was now at its best.
He was driving across the court and
down the side lines with perfect ac-
curacy
Dixon cut into his service and soon
the score was four games all
Williams then outplayed Dixon at the
net and outgeneraled him at the back
of the court.
Dixon recovered and brought the
score TO five games all.
Williams won the vantage game and
then took the next game. the set and
the match.
Comment on Result
BOSTON. July 25.-The news OF the
American tennis champions defeat at
Wimbledon threw a shadow over the
courts at the Longwood Cricket club,
where the matches for the Longwood
bowl were under way. William A.
Larned. former national champion,
and twice an international, said that
he was not surprised at McLoughlin's
defeat by Parke.
Mclaughlin IS dry weather
player" he said, land any condition
which slows up his game Is severe
handicap. His game was developed in
the dry air Of the Pacific coast and
every time he came out he showed
some effect of the change in the eli
matte conditions.
ut is not surprising that after three
weeks of rain. mist and fog at VIM
bedon, Mclaughlin should have
slowed up In speed. Parke appar-
emily played for the Americans weak
spot in the corners of the back court
Just as Williams did in the challenge
match last summer at Newport, when
the champion found such difficulty in
overcoming the low returns to his
backhand.
Il think, however. under Wrenn's
coaching, Mclaughlin will como back
strong in the doubles tomorrow and
match with Dixon on Monday"

the Frankfort penitentary to capture
Frank Sayman, of Oovington, and
Sam Spender, of LouisisvIlle, con-
victs, in their attempt to escape from

ed himself from the solitary cell in

more strokes TO make on the steel
bar separating him from liberty
when he dropped his saw out the
window.
He returned 10 bis cell and was
waiting until night to prize back the
bar and escape.
Captain Britton, though not on du-
ty, was inspecting the cell house,
when discovered black string hang
ing from the ceiling of the cell in
which Sayman was confined, ana re-
ported the discovery To Warden
Wells. An investigation disclosed
that both Ssymah aud spencer mad

WRIT OF PROHIBITION
Takes Original Jurisdiction in Suits Of
Miners Against !. c. Road

\ Frankfort, KY, May 30, The
Court of Appeals this morning
took original Jurisdiction in the
Illinois Central railroad against
the coal miners of Muhlenburg
county, and issued temporary
writ of prohibition to prevent
County Judge, j. j. Rice, of
Muhlenburg trying 1,660 suits
brought by the coal miners
against the railroad for loss of
wages, alleged to be occasioned
by the roads failure to furnish
sufficient cars to haul the output
of the mines In which they work.
The suits were brought for
amounts too small to be appealed
The railroad alleges conspiracy
to bring the suits in this manner
and to use Intimidation. The
railroad asked for an injunction
in the Muhlsnburg Circuit Court,
so that the issues of all the cases
could be tried out in the iujunc-
tion proceedings. The injunction
was denied, and a writ of pro-
hibition was granted, pending
the appeal from Circuit Court on
