announced the figures do not approach
the original paid by Pittsburg.

WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
williams Defeats San Francisco Tennis
Champion At Newport.

Newport. Sept. 1.-R: Norris Williams II.
Of Philadelphia and Harvard, won the
national lawn tennis championship I'm
singles from Maurice e. Mclaughlin Of
San Francisco. the title holder in straight
sets today. The scores were So S-6 10-e.s
In overcoming the champion. Williams
reached his highest form Of tennis. Al
though the match was fought through
three long sets the Philadelphian COM
manded the situation at all times. His
service was superior to McLoughlins.
His return was marvelously sure and
the usual slump which developed in
his former matches did not appear
during today's play.
On the other hand McLoughlin
seemed to have gone stale, and except
tor a rally in the last set did not dis
play his usual dash. His errors were
frequent and although he pulled off
his service aces occasionally his
drives were handled in fine shape by
Williams.
The overturn was totally unexpected
as Mclaughlin had been an almost
prohibitive favorite for the match and
the retention CT the title.

Effective Use of Bombs.
In the matter of the policy Of Ger

clear that Germany will stand out for
the most effective use Of bombs drop

most modern appliances, London being

as Paris and Antwerp by airehip and

intention to lombard from mid air is
