FOREST HILLS, y. Y, September 4.
California had three representatives
among the eight survivors in the ma
tlonal lawn tennis tournament. which
started play in the fifth round. 1t
was virtually certain that two of them
would figure in the semi-finals Monday.
Probably the closest match of the
day was that between William John

San Francisco. On account of his bril-
liant victory yesterday over Kari Behr.
Johnston was the favorite in today's
contest. ard to many he looked like 4
formidab Die contender for a champion

come through with comparatively easy
victories. interest centered in the
Johnston-Griffin match and in the
meeting of Theodore Roosevelt Pell of
New York and Irving c. Wright of
Boston. Pell's record thus far in the

named Chichester. During his meal q

AS soon as the meal was finished he

misty morning. AS Hale approached
the beach he saw a boat pulling In.
Glad almost beyond belief to be rid Of
his dangerous task he hurried down
to meet it. Too late he realized that
instead of Sergeant Hempstead and

That night Hale was kept in soil

went with his company to Boston anu
during the siege of that city by the
army under General Washington the
twenty-year-old boy was promoted to
be a captain for bravery and eff
cheney.
When the British evacuated Bos-
ton and sailed for New York a greater
part of the American army went down
that way. Captain Hale and his regi-
ment were among them. They took
part in all the hardships Of that CAM
paign.
Late in the summer of 1776, when
the British had driven the American
army from Long Island, General
Washington was particularly anxious
to establish some sort of secret in
formation line into New York. He
tried many plans without success.
Finally he summoned his officers to a
council and told them to be on the
lookout for some bright, courageous
man who would undertake the dan
gerous task. He spoke, among others,
to Colonel Knowlton of Knowlton's
Rangers, the regiment to which Cap
tain Hale was attached.
Colonel Knowlton conferred with
his officers. When he~put the propo-
sition to them every cheek paled. If
the messenger should be caught they
all knew he would be hanged as a
spy. The word spy is horrible one
to an honorable man. No one volun-
teered to risk a DEATH of shame. For
a few moments there was a hush in
the room. Then Captain Hale walked
In and said:
II will undertake it, SIR"
Captain Hale had been sick In bed
for some time, and his fellow officers
crowded about him seeking to dis.
suade him from his purpose. Among
them Capt. William Hull, a classmate
of Hale's at Yale, spoke the longest.
But the youthful captain could not be
shaken from his purpose.
"Gentlemen," he said, ri owe my
country the accomplishment Of an OBJ
:ject SO important and so much desired
by the commander of our armies. I
know of no mode Of obtaining the in
formation but by assuming q disguise
and; passing into the enemy's camp.

chair rather than ask a favor of the
man who prosecuted him. The situa-
ton Is one that is very trying on the
man. Governor Whitman has not stat
ed what he would do if petition for
clemency should be formally presented
to him. The governor granted a brief
respite to Becker because he was
scheduled to be in the west on the date
the court set for the execution and as
serted at the time that he would not
consider the matter until after his re-
turn.
1t now appears that Becker is in a
mood to tell what he knows Of graft
In New York for committed sentence.
whereas If nothing is to be gained by
"squealing" he is resolved to die game
Those at first inclined to doubt the &C.
curacy of the report that Becker is
ready to use any means he has to save
himself are now convinced that this
may be the case, and interest now cen
tiers upon whether or not what Becker
has to tell Is worth enough to the state
to warrant giving him his life.
At the Office Of District Attorney
Perkins 1t has been officially announc-
ed that no confession Becker can make
will help him, as evidence against DO
lice officials or former police officials
could result in their punishment for
only a year or two in Jail. The off,
cial announcement points out that it
would not be serving the ends Of JUS
tice to save Becker from the chair lust
to send another man or other men to
prison for awhile. This is the reiter-
ated view Of the prosecutors office.
Becker, whose nights Immediately
after the appeal was denied were
spent in tortured anxiety, eats and
sleeps better. He has better control Of
himself during the visits of his wife.
! According to Deputy Warden Johnson,
Becker is showing a change for the
sbetter. He takes his exercise vigor-
ously and again is an enthusiast for
y handball. He had been reading aloud
to the other men in the death house

counts of the wars progress. After
