WILLIAM JOHNSTON IS
NOW NATIONAL CHAMP

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept.
8.-William M. Johnston of San
Francisco became national ten
mis- champion yesterday afternoon,
when he beat Maurice McLough-
lin of the same city in grueling
four-set match. Mclaughlin lost
by the scores of lie, 60, TO,
1913.
Johnston played a peculiar, yet
brilliant, game. In the first set
he was nervous and Ill at ease.
He lost the set with only one
game to his credit. In the Sec
ond set he played a wonderful
game, winning by love. Both
players had flashes of brilliancy
and of poor play, neither playing
his usual consistent game.

With school only two days
old, it is difficult to tell just
what material will be available
for football squads. At Lincoln
there will be several of last year s
players, but at Stadium it is be-
lieved that an entirely new squad
will have to be formed.
Assistant Principal f. E. Per-
kins. and Coach "Toney" Bell will
have charge of athletics at Sta
dunn, with Percy Colbert in
charge at Lincoln. The selec-
ton of football tryout squads will
not be begun until class work is
organized.
The Tahoma Athletic club,
composed of Stadium alumni foot
bali stars, will be permanently or
ganiZed this week, it is expected,
and a schedule of winter games
will be outlined soon.

TANKS TO
BE GIVEN
REAL USE

Lincoln Parks big swimming
tank will be used this year again
by as large a number of school
children as possible.
The same system will be fol-
lowed this year as last. T.
The boys and girls of Lincoln
will use it during the day, while
outsiders will be permitted to

the various CITY grammar schools
will take advantage of the in
struction which will be offered.

MAY JOIN
DISTRICTS

The consolidation Of several
scattered country school dis
tricts, permitting an additional
income to the districts $2,70O q
year from the state, Is q plan
which has been suggested to the
farmers of the state by a COM
mittee of SO men for the pur-
pose OF extending the study of
scientific agriculture and home
economies in the Pierce county
schools.
The small district schools in
their present state cannot afford
teachers or equipment for study
ing farm economies, where II
they would combine, they could
obtain efficient teachers to teach
girls sewing and cooking and
boys farming, 1t is said.
