LA TENA'S CIRCUS
Some Novel Features in the Way Of
Performing Animals


La Tenas circus arrived here this
morning and gave this afternoon an
unusually good performance at Treat
lot. The circus consists of three
hibition of wild animals was of spec
ial merit. In fact, the circus features
its wild animals. The performance
of these animals was inside large
steel cage. Another feature of great
interest was Captain Wesley's troupe
of trained seals which appeared for
a year at the London Hippodrome.
The most exciting act was that of
Mile. Eugenie's troupe of seven per-
forming lions.
Other features were Walter Aleen
and the famous herd of Downie ele-
plants. Herman Griggs and Olga
Reid, equesterians; the Powell family
of five wire artists, Captain Wilson
and his riding tiger, Memo. There
were % acts in all. The circus has
three bands and a calliope and eight
tents. For a circus of its size it is
of high quality and thoroughly en-
1oyable for old and young. The YER
dict OF those who attended this after
Moons performance was that it was
superior in great many respects to
Wheeler Bros. Circus, which was
here last Saturday. This afternoons
performance began at . O'Clock.
The performance this evening will
begin at 8 O'Clock. and it is expected
that the large attendance of this af-
ternoon will be equalled if not exceed
ed. All who attend will find that the
circus is as advertised in every re-
spect, and being somewhat out of the
ordinary on account of the large mum
Der of wild animals exhibited, it will
provide many interesting and original
features. --Torrington, Conn, Regist

favor OF the move, but no action was
taken. The commission announced that
1t would welcome the opinion Of boxing
enthusiasts on the matter, and it will
be discussed at the regular meeting
next week.
The fact that negotiations for the
observation-disclosures match vera pend

cussion did not influence the commits
sioners.
Another stride in the right direction
was made when the back hand punch
was declared foul, and rule passed
empowering a referee to disqualify any
boxer making use Of it in future con-
tests. 1t has been placed in the same
category with the kidney punch. Box
ers have made common use OF this
punch of late. Although it should not
be counted in scoring of points, 1t hurts
none the less and is likely to have its
effect in wearing a man down in the
long run.
The Long Acre A. A. was hailed be-
for the commission TO answer charges
on various infractions of the rules,
and it's license indefinitely suspended.
1t was charged that boxers who wished

RAIN SPOILS DAY
FOR RACQUET MEN
All Matches in Western Tourney
POstpOned-Good Card for
To-day.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Rain that swept
the North Shore last night caused a
postponement Of ali matches scheduled
for to-day in the Western lawn tennis
tournament on the course of the
Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest.
Results of the second round, in which
some of the matches were played just
before shutdown yesterday, will cause
some interesting clashes in the third
round tomorrow morning, among
them being the match between j. j..
Armstrong, of st. Paul, and Staver
Moulding, of Chicago.
Armstrong won his way TO the third
round by disposing Of F. II. Logan, of
Chicago, and John A. Krugh, of Kan
sas City, and is a favorite over Mould
ing, but the latter has shown unex-
pected form.
Heath Byford's brilliant and surpris-
ing victory over William NJ. Johnston
yesterday, and his advance through the
second round by default, pits him
against Dean Robertson local player,
in the third round.
Byford and George M. Church, of
Tenafy, n. j., are now favorites for
the championship, and as they are
playing in opposite halves Of the tour
nament, have a good chance to meet
in the finals.

Question as to Who VIII
Capture the 1915 Title
Being Asked from
Coast to Coast.
Nv FRED HAWTHORNE.

Less than a month intervenes before
the national lawn tennis championship
tournament begins on the Swenty-four
CLAW courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club, at Forest Hills, Long Island, and
already the mOmentous question IS be-
ing asked among followers OF the game
from here TO the Coast; Who IS go
ing to be the champion Of 1915?
Will Richard Norris Williams, "a,
the unassumng youth from Philadel-
pbia. be able to retain his high honors,
or will he be borne down TO defeat by
Maurice f. Mclaughlin, the meteoric
California star, or some other OF the
ranking players?
Much hinges upon the result Of the
draw. 1t may happen that Mclaughlin
and Williams will be drawn together
in the same half, even in the same
bracket in the first round of play, thus
disposing of one of the strongest can
didates for the final honOrs on the
opening day Of the tournament. Or 1t
NAV be that the playing-through cham
pion will get an exceedingly easy pain
TO the final round, as Mclaughlin had
at Newport last year. and that Mac
will meet n worthy opponent IN every
round, or vice versa.
Granted that the two foremost con-
tenders are placed in opposite sides OF
the draw, however, and that both come
through successfully 70 the final round,

Johnson was helpless before the on

run. There was no heading off the na-
tional title holder, however, who played
as though inspired. One game was the
most that Johnson could win, Wiiliams's
brilliant play completely battling him
and making him look like a novice.
The match between Niles and Will
Jams tomorrow is certain to draw
large crowd, as Niles, resident of Bos-
ton, is a pronounced favorite here and
has been playing better than in several
years. The general feeling, however,
is that Williams will come through vic

lin,, whom he has not met since he
wrested the title of national champion
from the Pacific Coast wonder at New
port last summer.

SET OF MATCH
viii Meet Niles To-day for the
Honor of Facing Mclaughlin
in Challenge Round.
GBy Telegraph to The Tribunal

Boston, Aug. 3.-Starting slowly, but
ending with a wonderful burst Of speed
and remarkable accuracy in scoring on
placement shots, Richard Norris WILL
lams, "a, national champion, to-day won
his way into the final round Of the
Longwood Cricket Clubs annual invi-
tatlon lawn tennis tournament by de-
ieating Wallace F. Johnson at GO,
6-1, so, 6-l.
Williams will meet n. W. Niles to-
morrow for the honor OF facing Maurice
h. Mclaughlin, holder of the great
Longwood Cup, in the challenge round
on Thursday
The decisive manner in which Will
Jams accomplished the downfall Of
johnson came as great surprise 10
the gallery to-day. Johnson had gone
through the tournament with marked
success, not one of the many strong
opponents he bowled over on his way 10
the final brackets being able 10 extend
him. Those who had watched his play
closely believed the Philadelphian was
due 10 reach once more the form that
enabled him TO almost defeat the
mighty Mclaughlin in that memorable
match In 1912.
Johnson, one Of tho greatest ex-
ponents of the chop stroke in this
country, had apparently regained full
control of his puzzling shots, and all
through the tournament the erratic
flight of the ball as it came from his
racquet had baffled his opponents
IL was the sama against Williams
in the first set this afternoon. Con-
trolling the ball with wonderful ease,
Johnson placed his shots with uncanny
skill into the corners, down the side
lines and everywhere in the opposing
court that Williams left unguarded.
The national champion tried the net
position several times, but upon each
such occasion his opponent passed him
brilliantly and ran rapidly into a COM
handing lead, allowing Williams only
two games.
The conqueror of Mclaughlin last
year did not seem able to gauge the
bound of the ball or to take it on the
rise, as is his custom, and those who
watched from the stands foresaw q
quick defeat for the national title
holder.
The complete reversal Of form shown
by Williams in the second set, however,
indicated that he had been merely feel
ing out Johnson's strong and weak
points, and was satisfied with what he
had laid bare. With the start of the
second session, Williams began TO
stroke the ball with his usual freedom
and vim and the games went against
Johnson steadily.
The champion broke up his oppo-
nent's defence by penetrating drives for
the lines, and once he had made the
way clear for the finishing shot, rushed
the net and let loose a bewildering
series of volleys across the court.

West on the final day of the tourna-
ment should result in a battle worthy
Of the best traditions of the game.
Much depends upon Williams's frame
Of mind on that day. The former Har-
ward student, when the whIm seiZes
him, as il did in the Newport meeting,
can accomplish almost anything on the
courts. Against Mclaughlin upon that
occasion, Williams was daring in the
extreme and executed shots that few
if any players, with so much depending
upon the result, would have attempted.
He was coolly confident before he
took the court against his greatest
rival, and this confidence was amply
justified by the manner in which he
Outguessed, outspeeded and outplayed
Mclaughlin. There was no stroke in
the category of lawn tennis that the
Philadelphian did not have at his
complete command on the Casino court,
and, added to this, his eye was unfail-
ing in the accuracy with which 1t
picked out the openings.
There was no trick OF the courts
that Williams did not Use in Turing

who watched the East conquer the
West on that day the feeling was al
most universal that the Davis Cup
