Plays in First Round Against
German Player, While VIII

NOTTINGHAM. England. July TO-
Upon Maurice E. Mclaughlin. tennis
champion Of the United States, rests
Americas chances Of gaining today an
advantage over the German team in
the second round OF the Dwight F.
Davis international lawn tennis
matches AZ a result of yesterdays
draw for the three-days' series which
opens today. Mclaughlin is paired in
the inaugural single with Otto Froitz-
neim, Germany's main reliance.
r. Norris williams will meet Kreut-
zer later in the day. but the experts
figure that the Philadelphia should find
less opposition than Froitzheim Is ex-
pected to furnish the California wonder.
In the singles matches billed for
Saturday Mclaughlin Is to meet Kreut-
zer and Williams will tackle Froitz-
helm. The doubles will be played to-
Harold H. Hackett will test the mettle
of Friedrich w. Rahe and Heinrich
Kleinschroth.
Should Be Favorite.
Close students of tennis believe that
America should be a prohibitive fav-
orite over Germany. Froitzhelm Is not
conceded much chance against the SEN
sational Mclaughlin. Kreutzer's show
ing in the All-England championship
scarcely justifies a belief that he can
beat Williams.
None will concede Germany an even
split in the singles. In which case the
double would decide the issue. The
United States is also favored in this
double. though Rahe and Kleinschroth
did exceptionally we'll at Wimbledon.
All the prospective COMPLAINTS
showed up very we'll yesterday In their
final practice matches. The weather
does not seem to have affected the
Americans as much as II has the Ger
mans.
Captain Hackett. of the United States
team. declared last night that his men
were in the best Of condition and pre-
pared for the hardest kind Of a fight.
The Germans on the other hand, are
complaining Of the climate. which has
been very showery the last few days.
though much warmer than when the
Americans first arrived.
Preparations Made.
The Nottingham Tennis Association
has made preparations for a large
attendance at the matches, and has
kept the courts in admirable condi-
tion.
The winner of the approaching Sc
ries will be called upon to meet the
winner Of the Canada Belgium COM
petitions. to decide which will chal-
lepge England for the Davis Cup.
The emi-fnal between Canada and
Belgium will be played at Folke-
stone, doubtless the beginning of next
week. An exact date has not yet
been determined.
The final round has been set for
Wimbledon July IS. 1s. and 81. The
challenge round will also be fought
at Wimbledon on July rs, 26. and %.

The annual address was delivered

shown by members of the order, who
remembered the good and forgot the

Columbia, Dec. THE demonstra-
ton OF the Hall cotton reclaiming
process, which is exciting interest
throughout the world Of cotton, is to
take place Tuesday at Fairwold
farms, just north Of the city Of Co.
lumbia, and it looks very much al
ready as If there are going to be men
here to scrutinize closely the pro-
cess from every angle. The demon
stration will be much more than a
local affair.
Upon his return to the city last
night Commissioner Watson found a
number Of kilograms from prominent
men accepting his invitation to come
10 Columbia and attend the demon
stration.
w. A. Graham, commissioner Of ag-
riculture Of the State Of North Caro-
lima, wired Mr.. Watson from Raleigh
as follows: II expect to be with you
as requested on the 9TH"
j. d. Price. commissioner Of agri-
culture Of Georgia, wired from At
lanta: Thanks for invitation. Provi-
dence permitting, will reach Colum-
bia Monday night"
All the other commissioners OF agri-
culture Of the Southern States have
been invited. Commissioner Kolb OF
Alabama will almost certainly be
here, and Gov. O'Neal is expected.
Gov. Colquitt of Texas who for
moro than year has manifested the
liveliest interest In the matter Of this
invention, in response to Commits
siOner Watson's invitati tion wired yes
terday from Austin: Impossible for
me to attend demonstration Of John
B. Hall, but l feel deep interest in it's
outcome" Gov Colquitt has met the
inventor and has carefully gone over
the details Of the process with him.
Yesterday Mr.. Hall wired Mr.. Wat
son: II will be in Columbia Monday
morning next; thoroughly appreciate
your interest and kindness"
Commissioner Watson stated last
night that the demonstration would
take place Tuesday, but that he could
not give the definite programme at
that moment. He advises, however.
that all those who are interested, and
all such are cordially invited, come
into Columbia on the Monday night
train, although. he said. he would try
to arrange, the demonstrations so that
those arriving by morning trains on
Tuesday could witness them. He said
he had had no opportunity as yet to
consult with the officials of the Co.
lumbia Chamber Of Commerce, but
added that complete information
would be given through the press as
to exact hours and places, arrange
ments for transportation, ETC., in
ample time.
