GERMANY LOSES TWO
:. MATCHES IN SINGLES
Wilding Defeats Kreuger and Froitz-
helm Is Beaten by
-. Brookes.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, July 31.-Anthony
E. Wilding and Norman E. Brookes'
the. two Australsian tennis stars.
scored the first two points in the semi
final round of the preliminary series OF
matches here yesterday. on the turi
courts of the Allegheny Country Cluo.
Wiiding was the first to take on oscar
Kreutzer. the second-string gman in the
singles of the German team. the latter
being beaten at So, 6-2, Ga. In the
other match. Otto Froitzheim. the cap
tain: of the German forces. went down
before Brookes to the scores of 1913,
I6-1 and e-2.
The day was fair and a fashionable
gallery of about 1000 spectators wit
messed the play. The courts were fast,
and there could be no complaint OF the
foreign invaders, except on the score OF
uncertain line decision. which. however.
probably did not change the result IN
the close students Of the game assem-
bled about the courts was the fact that
neither Wilding nor Brookes revealed
anything calculated to cause any un-
easiness as to whether the Davis cup
Is to remain in this country. Wilding
was best from the back Of the court
1t was when his opponent, Kreutzer.
came up and volleyed and went right
through him that Wilding lost the
games.
The hero Of the English championship
was most skillful at his forcig play. and
except in the last set. when the Ger
mans kept forcing and maneuvering at
the net. there was not any wildly ex-
citing playing to speak of.
Evening star., 1914-07-31
Good at Forcing Play

The hrst Of the match in which
Brookes defeated Froitzheim proved that
the victory in the final Of the English
championship at Wimbledon was not a
fiuke. There was little about the racquet
work of the famous German to show
any marked superiority. Brookes faith
omed the service and the cross-court
shots Of his adversary in the first set
After that he was the master. for he
kept the German on the move and dis
played marked cleverness in making the
openings through which to send the ball
for the points.
The thing that indicates how confident
the Australasians are Of winning the
series here against the Germans and
standing in the finals with the British
Isles team next week. is the fact that
in order to save Brookes there was talk
of playing A. W. Dunlop and s. N Doust
in the doubles today. William ]. Clothier
and A. w. Meyers took Dunlop and
Doust on for a test double and beat
them at 6-S, Ga. rs. which finally
caused Brookes to nominate himself and
Wilding for the match this afternoon.

Labor Short at The Coal Mines

One big and growing question in coal
mining is labor, says the Black Diamond.
The easiest and cheapest place from which
mine labor can be obtained, according 10
present belief, is in Southern Europe. II
all Europe becomes involved in a war.
which now seems inevitable, these low
priced laborers will become soldiers. MANY
OF them will be killed off or wounded
The supply of European labor conse-
quentlY cannot be so large. Mines will
not Tor some years be able to depend on
imported peasants.
Even without that situation 10 urge A
change it is a question whether a con-
tnuation OF the use Of this imported
labor is desirable. Every settlement of
foreign labor is breeding ground of in
dustrial discomfort. Where under these
prospective new conditions Is the supplv
OF mine labor going to come forth? ANY
man who has been in the mining regions
has passed through many small com
munities. They are oyerrun with young
men OF American birth who are eauipped
with strong bodies, sound minds and
good morals. They do not know of the
possibilities in the coal field, or il they
do know they have an idea that they
cannot qualify.
They do not know that in Illinois. for
example, II is comparatively easy for any
able bodied man to make s. and 81 a day
or more by working in the mines. They
do not know that mining IL relatively
easy TO learn. They do not realize that
It is being learned every day by ignorant
foreigners, and therefore that they. who
are better equipped mentally, could
learn 10 in very short time. We are
wondering why coal operators do not
recruiting Offices for mines in
these small towns and arrange 10 take
this ready made supply Of first class
American labor into the mines.

We are favorably impressed with the

measures:
The return of automobile license to the
counties from which assessed and the

The limiting of water power companies
whereby the life and private property
may be safeguarded.
The production tax on coal. oil and
gas.
That the county officers be placed on a
reasonable salary basis instead of the fee
system.
He condemns the policy Of creating
unnecessary new Offices, which has been
the policy Of the present administration
Those measures are all worthy Of care.

Dodge is hustler and full Of ambition
Tor success and prosperity and will be
able to master the situation which he is
seeking. We can rest assured Of the t.es,

There is another measure we would

MURDERER PARENTS
SAY HE'S A LUNAT|C
Smiths Father Says He Fed Grain
of Corn to Five Hundred
Chickens

The mother and father of Edward
G. Smith on the witness stand this
morning declared their son a lunatic.
The testimony of accused youths
parents preceded the allenists in the
closing of the defense's case to prove
to Dauphin county jury that Smith is
insane and therefore legally unable to
defend himself of the charge of MUIR
dering his aged grandfather, John E.
Bush.
At least a dozen witnesses, including
alienists for the State, will follow in
the Commonwealth effort to refute
the defendants claims and upon the
decision of the jury will rest the ques-
ton of whether or not Smith must
face a murder jury.
The testimony of both mother and
father was similar. both going into de-
tails as to the peculiar habits of the
boy since childhood.
The boys father recounted numer-
Gus incidents of the boys escapades.
Once on the Inglenook farm he gath
cred nearly 500 chickens about him
and then threw out grain of corn at
a time-just to see the flock of fowls
scamper for it, On another occasion
Smith took some of the chickens into
the pig-sty and fed them to the pigs
When Smith took the stand and
John Fox Weiss, counsel for the youth
asked him If he were the defendant
father, the prisoner scowled and NUT
tered aloud
Just notify that man to go out and
get his own son, Ed Smith"
