TENNIS EXPERTS PREPARE TO GRAB
 NATIONAL TITLE

New York, Aug. 3O-The tennis tour nament for the championship of the United States, scheduled for ten o'clock this morning on the turf courts of the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills, L. T., is expected to mark a new era in the American game, as it is the first competition for national honors ever held away from the Casino at Newport, and in addition strikes a. keynote which is expected to increase the popularity of the sport. The ex- clusiveness which has heretofore sur rounded the national championship has been swept aside and the compe- tition brought into the very heart of the tennis centre of the country.
 Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the famous California comet, will lead off the af- ternoon session at 2:45 on the cham pionship court against Ernest Fritz Kuhn. the German, and Charles M Bull Jr., will meet Lyle B. Mahan. An hour later, or when the other matches have finished, Nathaniel w. Niles of the Longwood Club, Boston, will en- gage Frederick B. Alexander, and at the same time William M Johnston, the young Californian, will meet liar old H. Hackett.

 Forest Hills, N. Y.,< Aug. so.-The opening round of the national lawn tennis championship tournament scheduled for to-day, was postponed until tomorrow, owing to wet courts. President R. D. Wrenn of the national association, inspected the courts of the West Side club with several mem bers of the executive committee and decided that the turf would not per init of play to-day owing to the con tinuousl rain of the past 24 hours The same time schedule and order of play will be Observed tomorrow.

The latter are two of the pest pitchers on the staff and take regular turns in the big league schedule Nixon is a s1ugger who has just been secured from the Southern league Olson is the former Cincinnati and Cleveland infeIder and Hummell, the old Hol- yoke star, is well known here
 The CoIonials of New Haven intend to have a football team this season. They claim they have secured Charley Briclxley and Pennock, the former Harvard stars, for Sunday games. Pennock was an All-American guard for three years. He is employed in Boston now

The race committee announced that specials would be substituted for the free-for-a11 events that did not fill, and these will be announced within a few days.
 Lefty Leverenz, the old Hartford d southpaw, was sent by the St. Louis Browns to the American association and has been doing so well there that the Browns will recall him.

Wagner's Watch Tower

Another pitcher who is staging 8 comeback is Charley Hall, the only Mexican left in the game. Hall won 16 straight for St. Paul of the Ameri- can association, and Tom Connery. the old Hartford manager, who is acting as a St. Louis NatiC/a1 scout, has signed Hall for next season.
 When Lew Wendell was catching for Waterbury, last season, nobody thought he would be in the big league this year. He was released by Jack Teller of Pittsf1e1d, and nobody en- unused much over his work. But John McGraw has kept him all sea son and last week Wendell caught Mathewson when the veteran beat the Pirates. The youngsters work was highly praised by the writers.
 The main topic of interest in the national tennis tournament, which starts tomorrow at Forest Hills, N. Y, is the chance of Maurice B. Me Loughlin regaining the title. Since losing national honors to R. Norris Williams, Mclaughlin has changed his smashing game to a style which he thinks will be of greater benefit in the long run. But will his new style be good enough to defeat Williams.

Go to Georgetown Determined t
Hand Washington College a
ReatinO

The eleven of st. Johns College
journeyed to Chestertown today for the
annual game with Washington College,
one of the contests in the series for the
State championship title.
Although the Cadets were defeated
by the Maryland Aggies, they are con-
fident of winning from the Eastern
Shore lads. Coach Wilson. however,
will not take any chances of having
any of the regulars knocked out, with
the big game with Johns Hopkins to
be played at Homewood next Saturday.
Hard practice has been the order Of
things az the College this week and as
a result some of the regulars have
been out for a few days with bad an
kles and knees. Their injuries have
come around rapidly, however. and
some may play in today's game.
Alexander. the former Navy player,
who is taking special course at st.
Johns College, is speedily coming into
condition. and it is considered certain
that he will be seen in the lineup
next Saturday aga;nts Hopkins He
will probably play for a short while
against Washington College today.

SPLENDID ORCHESTRA
AND BEAUTIFUL PICTURES.
At the Colonial Theatre---Audience
REPAID for Waiting in the Dark
While City Current Was Shut
0ff

With an orchestra augmented by
eight pieces, the Colonial Theatre was
the place of places last evening.
The performance was scheduled to
begin at us, but was delayed for about
half an hour by the lack of electricity,
and as the patrons of the theatre were
assured that the trouble would soon
be remedied, ell remained and were
amply repaid for the small discomfort
The enhancing music was much ap-
preciated by those in attendance, and,
combined with the stirring picture
shown, held the audience spellbound.
In fact, one man became so absorbed
in the picture that he exclaimed very
audibly: Gee whiz, Isn't it just
splendid."
II is hoped that the Strange Bros,
managers of the Colonial will give the
patrons such treat often, and, no
doubt. they will if they are given the
proper encouragement.

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES
IN FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Efficacy OfPrayer---0ld Fashioned
Christianity.

Doctrinal. lather than practical
preaching and sermonizing was the
theme of the sermon preached last
night at the First Presbyterian Church
by the Rev H. f. Faulconer. sent here
by the Baltimore Presbytery TO con
duct a series of church services
The evangelist is earnest, and his
earnestness as well as the Scriptural
doctrines he propounds. carries his
heareres with him, and inspires
thoughts OF higher and better things
These church meetings are a source
of spiritual up-lift and are soul-inspir-
ing. The Rev. Faulconer breaches the
Straightforward. old-fashioned doctrine,
not the kind of sermons that are often
times preached by preachers who are
afraid of offending their congregations.
The evangelist fears no man when
he presents the Gospel truths. His
subject last night was Prayer" that
petition as set forth In Ephesians. i'm
which God tells His Children how to
pray; what TO ask for. ITO be strong
in the inner man" is what we need,
said the preacher. SO few are spirit
ually strong. They may be Sandow
in physical strength, but mere weak
ling in spiritual strength.
The evangelist said when he was in
some churches and heard them sing
ing onward Christian Soldier, March
ing as 10 War" he felt so ashamed
that he wanted TO hide his face. ION
to war" indeed, these spiritual weak
lings. IL was more like being taken
out in ambulances IN some hospital.
IL is difficult today. he sair to draw
the line of demarkation between the
real Christian and the pretepse How
many church people lie, swear and are
seen i'm places of the ungocly,b but these
are they who have not the love of God
in their hearts in whom the Holy Spirit
does not dwell
Once upon a time. say twenty-five
years ago, the children who went to
Sunday-school, stayed to the church
service. Now. children teachers, SUI
perintendent and all go home after
Sunday-school. and don't go TO church.
The evangelist said the church is
Gods organization. If the children
cannot go to both Sunday school AND
church. it is better for them To go to
CHURCH.
Tonight. weather permitting, Even
gelist Faulconer will preach at z
o'clock at an open-air meeting at the
corner of Conduit and Duke of Glou-
cester streets, and at O'Clock the us
ual service will be held i'm the First
Presbyterian Church. Those who have
not heard him. don't know what they
have missed. Life rs not all made up
of amusement, and Death is to come
to all. Better stop awhile, turn aside
for an hours service now and then at
the church. Go to hear this godly man
and be spiritually uplifted.

MIDSHIPMAN DISMISSED
For Substituting Question He Could
Answer for One Assigned Him He
Was Unfamiliar With.

1t has become known here that a
midshipman, whose name is not an
nounced by the Naval Academy author
tiles. has been dismissed for an Of
fence similar 20 those charged against
number of midshipmen last spring,
and which became the subject of an
investigation Ly court of inquiry ap-
pointed by Secretary Daniels.
The midshipman in question was
given written slip which contained
his recitation for the day. He was
not able to do the work required of him
and managed to exchange the slip he
received for one which required work
with which he Was more familiar.
The matter was investigated by the
Naval Academy authorities, and the
dismissal of the midshipman was di.
rected by the Secretary of the Navy.
The case of a midshipman who re-
ceived permission to attend church
services in Annapolis, and then failed
to do so, but spent the time in Annap-
oils, is still under advisement. 1t is
understood that he has also been rec
commended for dismissal.

CITY IN DARKNESS
BECAUSEOFPOTOMACGO.
Lights Shut Off for 40 Minutes Last
Night Here and in Wash
ington.
THREE TRANSFORMERS LOST.
The Potomac Electrical Power Co.
Supplies Washington, the w. B.
& A. aud Annapolis Public
Utilities Co. Had 3 Trans
formers Burnt Up.

Darkness fell over this city and SUI
burbs about o'clock last night, and
there was not a ray of light for forty
minutes. except from lanterns and
flashlights carried by pedestrians on
the streets.
AS usual, when such things happen
everybody blames it on the home cleo
trio light company. but in this instance
the Annapolis Public Utilities Com
pany was not in fault. The shutting
off of the electric current was solely
due to the Potomac Electric Power
Company, which supplies Washing
ton, the surrounding district, the W,
b. & A Electric Line and the Public
Utilities Company of Annapolis. all of
which were thrown out of electric
current. Washington was deprived of
all electric lights, the trolleys of all
current.the cars being tied up,and the
moving picture shows, of which there
are hundreds in Washington, were
suspended for the thirty-two minutes
and the city of Washington was in
darkness during the period.
Annapolis was shut off from electric
current for forty minutes. and the
streets of this city during that period
were enveloped in the blackness of
midnight as it is in the country. The
cause for all this was that the Poto-
mac Eelectric Supply and Power Com
pany lost three of its transformers.
which were burned out
Every effort was made to hasten to
remedy the trouble, as it not only
meant inconvenience, but the loss of
considerable money to both the Poto-
mac Company and the Public Utilities
Company of this city. From z to 10
p. m. the electric companies do most
of their business, and the shutting off
of the current during these hours is a
material loss.
Telephone wires between this city
and Washington were kept busy dur
ing the early evening, and every effort
was bent to hasten the work of re-
storing the electric current. In An
napOlis many homes not supplied with
gas, we're Obliged to resort to candles
and lamps, while the electricity was
shut off
The movies were delayed an hour,
but lanterns were brought into the
several theatres, and music entertain
ed the audience until the lights were
on again. The W., B. & A. cars were
tied up for an hour because of the ac-
cident to the Potomac Electric Power
Company, and much other inconyen-
fence was experienced.
