R. Norris Williams, I'd, of
Philadelphia Wins National
Championship.
DEFEAT OF CALIFORNIAN
COMES AS BIG SURPRISE
Victor Plays at His Highest Form
and Takes Three Straight Sets,
60, SO and 1913.

NEWPORT. September 1.--R. Norris
Williams. ID. of Philadelphia and Har-
ward. won the nationa! lawn tennis
championship in singles from Maurice
E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco. the
titleholder. IN straight sets today. The
scores were 60. a-6. 10-S.
The two ranking lawn tennis players
Of the country met OH the Casino courts
today for the second consecutive year
in the contest for the national cham
pionship. Last year Mclaughlin defeat
ed Williams three sets to one.
Mclaughlin was the favorate today,
when victory would have given him
bowl offered by the national associa-
ton four years ago. Each player had
gone through this years tournament
with the loss of but one set out of
sixteen played. Williams had won %
games and lost So: Mclaughlin had
won So and lost AZ. Last year Nc
Loughlin did not lose a set until the
finals, while Williams won Is and lost
5. In games last year Williams won
+13s and lost 95; Mclaughlin won ITO
and lost 40.
Williams at Top Form.
In overcoming the champion Will
liams reached his highest form of ten
mis-. Although the match was fought
through three lon gsets, the Philadel-
phian commanded the situation at all
times. His service was superior to
McLoughlin's, his returns marvelously
sure and the usual slump which de-
veloped in his former matches did not
appear during today's play.
On the other hand Mclaughlin seemed
to have gone stale. and except for a
rally in the last set. did not display his
usual dash. His errors were frequent,
and although he pulled of his service
aces occasionally: his drives were hand
led in fine shape by Williams.
The overturn was totally unexpected. as
Mclaughlin had been an almost pro-
hibitive favorite for the match. and the
retention of the title. In the opening set,
the first four games aiternated on the
and captured McLoughlin's service on
errors by the champion. and soon ran
out the set, the score being 6-3.
Williams had the second set three
games to love, when Mclaughlin dashed
In and evened the score. The games were
quickly played. very few going to
deuce, and after Mclaughlin had made
1t six all Williams won the set.
Last Set Fiercely Contested.
The third and last set was fiercely con-
tested Williams obtained a commanding
lead, but Mclaughlin squared the set In
the twelfth game. In the fourteenth
game Williams was within one point Of
the match. but could not pull it off. In
the sixteenth game Mclaughlin also was
within a couple Of points of taking the
set when errors gave Williams the game
and again the set was even. The Phila-
delphian then jumped in and took the
next two games and set.

The girl whose self-consciousness takes
tho form of bashfulness or OF wondering
how she can hope that any ono w!l care
for such an unattractive person as her
self soon becomes awkward and unRttTac-
tive through thinking herself so.
But the people who know her we'll care
for her in spite Of her over-modeSty.
She. however. does not attract new &C.
quSlntances and Is not generally popular

OF Celeste'8 type makes a good impress
sion. Celeste attracts, but cannot hold,
for the coneeitedly self-conscious girl is a
boresomo and unlovable creature. She
tells 81 her conquests and her accom-
plishments. She boasts of her admirers
and her talents and she estranges the
people who might have appreciated her
very genuine talents II they had been al
lowed TO discover them unaided.
A bore was once defined as "a person
who talks about himself when want 20

ways talking about herself offends this
principle of human nature, and soon Is
set down as a bore by people who share
her fault In n lesser degree.
II antagonizes people 10 have girl

trary spirit in folks when a girl seems so
well pleased and satisfied with herself as
fairly to dare their criticism.
Sweetness and modesty enhance a girls
prettiness three-fold. and when n girl IL
always peeking at herself I'm mirrors and
oontentedly patting the waves In her hair
she invites pirit Of criticism.
People avoid a girl who Is always harp

or sympathy to give them. In fact. she
seems To have no interest to spare from
/ that vast store she is lavlshing on her

interests.
A good listener is always popular. The
