TENNIS STARS FATHER OPPOSES
 LIQUOR LICENSE

William T.. Washburn, a wealthy New York lawyer who has the dis unction of being the father of Watson WaShburn, the national tennis star, was a remonstrant this morning against Sven Murberg, who wants a wholesale liquor license, in Black Rock The Washburn country home is on Fairfield avenue, a short dis tance from Wilson street, where Murberg wants the license. Wash burn said the sale of beer by Murberg would mean additional noise in the neighborhood. He did not think Mur- berg could guarantee that the only beer sold would be delivered at cus- toners houses.
 Others who objected to the granting of the license were Rev. H. c. Wood ruff of Black Rock Congregational church, John M. Fancher, E. Stuart Hawthorne of the Hawthorne Manu- featuring Co.,, Edward Andrews and William Monatlon.
 A large number of residents favored the application on the ground that it would be convenient to have place nearby where beer could be obtained. The county commissioners, who heard testimony in the criminal superior court room, reserved decision.

BANK OPPOSED TO
 DSSOL UTION
Directors of First Bridge port National Against Federal Plan of Un- scrambling New Haven's Properties.

The directors of the First Bridge port National Bank met yesterday in special session for the purpose of dis eussing the present attitude of the Federal government towards the New Haven railroad Wi&h respect to the situation in New England.
 The directors through Vice President the 1nauiEaQus senefrpent of the uaeet-s ing chat It was tile duty of the lnitf- zens Of this state to uphold the pres ent officers of the road regardless of whatever may have been worthy of censure in the past
 The First Bridgeport National Bank directorate comprises 30 men and 1t is announced that none Of the direc- tors hold any brief for the New Has- ven road. The subjoined resolutions which were adopted by a unanimous vote fully express the views of tho banks directorate:
 The resolution follows.
 Whereas It is the firm belief ana conviction of the Board of Directors of The Ffrst-Bridgeport National Bank that there is a necessary communion Of interest between the railroads and the manufacturing and commercial ac- tivities of the territory served by said
 railroads; and
 Whereas: The prosperity of the New
 York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Company, which controls and operates the entire railroad systems of Connecticut, is bound up with the manufacturing and commercial inter
 ests of said territory; and
 Whereas: It is credibly reported 1 that the officials of the United States Government are engaged in an effort
 to separate the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company from several of it's important subsidiaries
 operating in this section (notab1y the trolley lines. the steamboats, etc.) ; and
 Whereas: It is apparent that the | dism of this great trans- portation instrumentality into smaller units will operate to the detriment of 1 the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Rai1road Company to such ex- tent that the entire community served thereby, including not only the busi- ness interests, but individuals as we'll l will necessarily suffer great damage therefrom;
 Now There: Resolved, that in the l opinion of this Board of Directors the
 Government of the United States l should not go further with it's plan9 l for dismenber1ng the New York, New l Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
 until, at least, it Is definitely ascer- l tained that such dfSmemberment will be beneficial rather than harmful to l the community served by such road and the officials of said Government are hereby earnestly and respectfulIy l requested to wait in their work unti
 it can be satisfactorily demonstrated I that good rather than i'll will be ac- l complished by such action as is pro- posed to be taken; and that such ac- 1 ton meets the approval of the people l whose interests and prosperity are I most directly affected thereby

Oumet first gained golf fame q
year ago when he defeated Harry
Nardon and Edward Ray, the English
professionals, for the open champion
ship in a notable 90-hole medal play
contest at the Country club, where, as
a caddy, he learned the game. Trav-
ers has won the national amateur
championship four times.
The match Saturday was marked by
Ouimets poor putting in the first nine
holes, his wonderful brace in the Sec
ond nine and his perfect play during
the afternoon. On the other hand,
Travers although wild from the tee,
played strong short game. which
gave him the advantage up to the sew
enteenth hole on the morning play,
where Ouimet squared the match for
the first time. At the home hole,
Ouimet took the lead. which he main
tanned to the finish. Travers was even
more uncertain in his wooden shots
in the afternoon and conceded two
holes.
Ouimet proved the longer driver
and in the afternoon round, the better
putter. The iron game Of the pair
was about equal.
