i!
Two excellent plays were presenteA
Tuesday at the Augusta Opera house
by Arthur Chatterdon and his company.
Pierre Of the Plains" at the matinee
and THE Gamblers at the eveniQeS
performance. Both the spirited peH
formances were greatly enjoyed and
were literally applauded. /,
THE Gamblers" is Charles Klein'h
great drama Of feverlsh finance Mr..
Chatterdon was cast as Wilbur Emerj
son. the directing genius Of a group
of bankers. who take a long chance oh
winning a million by overstepping the
laws and lose. While the other men
fret over the prospects Of going to-
prison Emerson sacrifices his freedom,
becomes a martyr for the others, and
goes to prison comforted by the
thought that when he gets out he will
have the heart of the first girl he ever
loved. MIR. Chaterdon won much ap-
plause in this difficult part.
The support was generally strong.
Miss Valerie Valerie as Catherine
Darwin" made hit with the audience.
George Manning invested the character
Of James Darwin" the relentless pros
ecuting attorney, while Milton Byron
played the part of George Cowper"
in a very satisfactory manner.
The company will present for today's
repertoire, Before and After" at the
matinee, this being the play that High
Jinx' was adapted from, and at the
evening performance, The Witching
Hour" a play the basis of which is

FAST And FURIOUS TENNIS ON
TUESDAY AT FOREST HILLS

Forest Hills, \. Y, Aug. 31.-A
number Of brilliant tennis matches
marked the opening round OF the 35th
annual championship tournament OF
the National Lawn Tennis Association
on the courts of the West Side Club
here today Although the leading eI-
perts came through almost without
exception, several realized before the
names were placed upon the winning
side Of the score board that they had
been playing top rank tennis.
Maurice f Mclaughlin Of San
Francisco, the internationalst and
former champion. and r. Norris Will
Jams, End, the present title holder.
were among those who escaped
gruelling first round. Mclaughlin
drew Ernest F. Kuhn. Of Germany, as
his opponent and hardly got warmed
UP. defeating the foreign racquet
wielder, s-l, s-1, 60. Williams did
rot appear upon the courts, for his
opponent, Adrian Riker, defaulted.
Niles Defeated
Five matches were played on the
grand stand court and as If by pre-
arrangement the last was the best.
This contest brought together Fred
erick r. Alexander of New York and
Nat W. Niles of Boston. and the for
mer won only after a five set strug-
gle ethat contained all the high class
play and thrills that might be ex-
pected in semi-final or title round.
More than two hours of the hardest
kind Of play was necessary before
Alexander emerged victorious by
scores of IS 81. -, S-10 and
g. Both experts were at the top
of their games and fought desperate
ly for every point. Deep court driv-
ing. heavy smashing at the net, lob
bng and the softest kind of fore court
strokes were skifully mixed until
there was nothing left as a deciding
factor but the physical condition.

Young rival and the match was squar-
cd on the saith hole. Neither could
