Newport, R. l., Aug. 2S.-The lawn tennis championship tournament mar rowed down today to San Francisco and Philadelphia, with the titleholder, M. E. Mclaughlin. still in the running and an almost prohibitixe favorite. The other three victors in the day s matches in the sixth round of the all- corners tournament were E. F. Fot- trell of San Francisco and R. Norris Williams. 2d, and William J. Clothier of Philadelphia.
 thier will play Mclaughlin in the semi finals tomorrow. Clothier fell before the champion in straight sets in the all-comers play last year, and as Williams tonight was a to fayorite over Fottrell, many followers of the game predicted that the finals this year would be a repetition of those of 1913, when Mclaughlin found Williams his only opponent for the title and defeat ed him three sets to one.
 The feature match today, that be- tween Williams and his Davis cup teammate, Karl Behr, was disappoint- ing. After Behr's rally and victory over Murray yesterday. a long and close contest with Williams was looked for. But Behr proved unusually er- ratic especially in the first two sets. His net work was weak and Williams passed hi nwithout difficulty. Never before on a casino court has Williams scored so many place shots. and Behr at the net frequently seemed dazed. The match occupied about an hour, for Behr rallied in the last set and at one time had lead of four games to one. Then he fell back and Williams quick ly brought the games to deuce and a

THE NEXT BIG FIGHT.
Gunboat Smith vs. Young Ahearn is the Event Now Interesting the Sporting World.

The Gunboat Smith, Young Ahearn affair, to be decided in England next week. is the next fistic event of any importance. At first glance this most impossible for New Workers to believe that Ahearn. the fragile, light tapping sprinter has even an outside chance fstanding up under Gun boats terrific .wallops-
 However, English boxing critics are
 unanimous in their opinion that Ahearn with his speed and science is fully a match for his heavier oppon- ent. This opinion while completely at variance with what Americans know of Ahearn, must be given seri- ous consideration in view of the fact that they called the turn when Car pentier encountered the hard-hitting Gunner On form Carpenters chances with Smith appeared little better than Ahearn's do at present. Ahearn has been stopfed by both Pack Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons, but the Frenchman has lost to Papke and Klaus. Both Ahearn and Carpen- tier were undeveloped youngsters al the time. In Carpenters case the fact that he has developed so rapidly was not given due consideration on this side of the world. This same may be true to Ahearr- Since Ahearn left these shoes he has grown into light heavyweight No doubt his strength and hitting powers have increased in proportion
 At the same time it must be admitted | that he was an exceptionally fragile youth. Remembering the way he crumpled up when Gibbons tapped | his chin sturdy enough to with stand Smiths terrific wallops-
 Ahearn's chin is moulded on slender lines. Even as lightweight he nev. CT could stand punishment As ht grew into a welter and then a middle weight, his stamina did not increase with his weight. He gave no indica-
 ton whatever of developing in thi, respect. Nor did his hitting seem tC l improve to any great extent. Tn hi!

were upkempt and badly in need of wash and a shave
 T remember having read somewhere that a French senator had declared there was a great shortage of shoes for the French troops have seen 1000 Germans going to the front, every one of them wearing a brand new pair of russet shoes, heavy enough to with stand any campaign. But there were no such shoes among these French prisoners. Their footgear was of a fiimsy character and worn so badly that in most cases their naked toes were protruding. They ate greedily of bread and drank eagerly the tea and coffee that was handed to them
 The faces of most of them were blank and expressionless. They con- versed among themselves in an under tone asked one something about Lagarde-
 "T know nothing he answered sul- lenly.
 But after told him he was speak ing with Hollander and not with a German he modified his reply to: ! will say nothing. sir

TWO BRITISH CRUISERS
 OFF VANCOUVER ISLAND
Arc Looking for the German Cruiser Leipsie-Japanese Ship Also In Pursuit.

Seattle. Aug. 2s.-The British cruis- CTS Newcastle and Rainbow and the Japanese cruiser IdZumo are still cruising along Vancouver Island and the northern British Columbia coast seeking the German cruiser Lelpsig. The belief Is growing that the Ger man vessel did not come north of Cape Mendocino. Calif.. where she was sighted ten days ago. Fishing boats have reported seeing the Leipzig but they mary have sighted one of the other three cruisers.
 The report from British Columbia that a steam schooner had sailed from Seattle with coal for the Leipzig is exploded by the fact that the vessel in question removed her radio apparatus last month and would therefore be un- able to find the Leipzig.
 Investigation of the report that a radio station was communicating with the Leipzig shows that the Canadians have no information but only a sus- picion.
 The three cruisers of the allies are looking into all the small harbors of western Vancouver Island.

AMERICAN CITIZENS FORGED

 Europe for Aid.

Washington, Aug. 2s-American Consuls in Europe are being over whelmed with appeals for aid from claimants of American citizenship who have been forced to take up arms for the land of their birth.
 In Germany the situation is the most complicated, for the only treaties the United States has which touch on this subject were made wit hseparate states and principalities before the Confederation of the empire None of thees, accept first naturalization pap CTS as a valid obstacle against re- patriation.
 Many Americans by adoption who are surgeons. or physicians, mechanics or at least material for able-bodie6 soldiers have been or are about to be sent to war. In the cases of those who are bonafide citizens the state state department is making repre- sentations, but, it was pointed out to- day, diplomatic bodes move slower than recruiting sergeants.

 At a later stage the Germans brought up their big siege guns, attacking the enciente and ports and dropping 300 to 400 15-centimetre shells daily into the heart of the city. Notwithstanding the fury of the German attacks, Paris withstood the siege for 132 days. Since then the entirely new and outer third line of defense has been erected and military experts say the Notifications as a whole are far more formidable than those which resisted the former siege.
