KIND GAS MAN A MARTYR
Says Refusal to Raise Price
in Queens Caused Plot.

A gasolene war has broken out in
Queens. The garage men along the
principal streets are the ccmbatants
and the raise of two cents a gallon in
price is the casus belli.
An echo Of the fighting reached the
Long Island City police court yester-
day, when John L. Marsh, superintend-
cnt of the GreenpOint station of the
Texaco Oil Company, was arraigned on
the complaint Of James j. Clare, who
keeps a hotel and garage in Long ISL
and City.
Clare was sure he was the victim Of
a conspiracy In the first place, he
said, all the other garage owners were
down on him because he refused to
sell gasolene with them at 10 cents
instead of 10. He told them he had a
contract with the Texaco company 10
get il for eleven cents, and that two
cents a gallon profit was enough.
The complainant told the court that
last Sunday Marsh and committee
of rival gasolene dealers demanded
that he raise his price to 10 cents. He
refused, and the next day the Texaco
company removed their portable tank
from his garage Clare said he then
got one of his own, but they took that,
too.
Marsh was held in $500 bail for ex-
animation.

HAGEN SETS new
GOLF MARK ON
EKWAN0K LINKS
Plays Over Course for
First Time and Gets a
6S, One Hole in 2.

Walter c. Hagen, national open cham
pion of last year, has set all the New
England golfers talking not only about
his success in winning the open cham
pionship Of Massachusetts. at Brook
line. on Thursday, but his remarkable
So yesterday, over the links Of the
Ekwanok Country Club, at Manchester,
Vt. A long distance telephone message
from Manchester to The Tribune last
night gave few details.
Hagen played yesterday in n four
ball match with James l.. Taylor as a
partner, and against j. J. Christie, the
Ekwanok professional, and II. l.. Phil
lips. an amateur. The erstwhile cham
pion never had seen the course before,
and merely stopped off for a day TO
visit his old tutor, Christie. Hagen's
6S never has been done before at
Ekwanok, which, it will be recalled,
was the scene of the national amateur
championship last fall.
He had poor start, taking six to
the first hole because of faulty direc-
ton. But he Immediately steadled
down, and never needed more than 4
for any other hole after that. On the
sixth he drove TO the rough. but to the
establishment Of the others holed a
mashie shot for two. That remark
able fourteenth at Greenwich a couple
of weeks ago was a similar circum-
stance.
The fourteenth and sixteenth holes
proved difficult for the former cham
pion, but the impressive maner in
which he played other holes completely
overshadowed the few mistakes he
made. He was in happy putting vein,
too, for on the first nine holes he
needed only twelve puts, the s'1th, OF
course, requiring none at oil.
His card follows:
2 fS .. ...........SS ! Es5-ss
Hagen planned to leave to-day for
Rochester, and was undecided whether
or not to play in the metropolitan open
championship next week at Fox Hills.
It is understood that he has sent in
his entry.
81 never in my life saw anything like
the way Hagen played to-day" said
Taylor, over the telephone last night.
81 venture to say that he will have an
other open championship in his posses
sion ere he is many years older. twas

PeU and Bull Advance
In Nassau Club Tourney

and young Beekman gave him many
anxious moments before he came
through at Cd, 2-6, O.. The slow
condition Of the turf seemed to bother
Beekman in the first set. and he could
not take the low-bounding balls with
his customary facility.
He overcame this handicap in the
next set, and surprised Pell by outplay-
ing him decisively in the volleys at the
net. He also bothered his opponent by
forcing Pell to take the ball on his
forehand, thus robbing the other Of his
strongest weapon of offence, his rip
ping backhand.
Pell steadied in the final set and out
maneuvred his youthful opponent. His
smashing from near the base line was
very forceful and kept Beekman con-
tinually on the run, and occasionally
the winner edged speedy drives past
the schoolboy champion as the latter
sought the net.
In connection with the doubles, it
was rumored about the clubhouse yes
terday that the famous Teddy Behr"
team of Pell and Behr, Eastern doubles
champions, has been dissolved, and that
hereafter Pell will pair with Bull in
the tournaments.
Behr was compelled TO break away
from his old partner because pressing
business duties will not permit him TO
devote the necessary time to the game,
and his appearances for the rest Of the
season will probably be confined to the
singles.

VOSHELL And
DIONNE VICTORS
ON |. |. COURTS
Two Will Meet To-day for
Singles Championship
Rain Hats Doubles.

s. Howard VosheIl, former Eastern
New York State champion, and G. A. L.
Dionne, former team captain Of the
West Side Tennis Club, will meet this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the
singles championship of Long Island IN
the annual lawn tennis tournament Of
the Kings County Tennis Club.
VOshell gained his fnal round yes
terday by defeating Ralph L. BaggS in
two sets at 6-1, S-6, and Dionne won
his way into the final brackets by adj
ministering a crushing defeat to NJ.
Goldman by score of 60, 81.
Matches SCHEDULED in the doubles
had to be put over until to-day, be-
cause Of the intermittent showers that
rendered the clay courts soft and
treacherous underfoot.
Voshell was generally picked as the
winner over Baggs before the two men
took the court, because of his ability
10 hit the ball with greater speed and
his strong, aggressive tactics. Many of
the spectators believed Goldman would
triumph over Dionne, owing 70 the for
mer's unexpected victory over Charley
Chambers on Thursday.
Those who made this prophecy, how
ever, were not taking into account the
strength and craftiness Of Dionne's
game, which is deceiving because Of its
softness. The West Side veteran has
upset the plans of many a more prom
Trent player than Goldman by his deep,
high lobs and his easy forehsnd and
backhand driving, and yesterday he
trimmed Goldman with ease, as the
score indicates.
Voshcll experienced little opposition
from Baggs in the first set. The lat
ter could not gauge the speed Of
VoshelPs smashing service or his hard
Iefthanded drives for the lines. Baggs
won a single game only in this set, but
in the second he did better, going 20
the net and volleying prettily as
Voshell drove his returns at him.
After bringing the games score up
TO 6-all Baggs wilted, and Noshell
took the last two games and the
match.
Dionne went about his work DELHI
erately, and drove with such accuracy,
the ball almost invariably landing
within inches Of the base or side lines,
and first on one side Of the court and
then on the other, that Goldman was

BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

Theodore Roosevelt pell and Charles
NJ. Bull, jr., were the only two players
to reach the round before the semi
finals yesterday, in the annual invita-
ton lawn tennis tournament Of the
Nassau Country Club, at Glen Cove,
Long Island.
Pell moved out at the expense Of
Leonard Beekman, national interscho-
lastic champion, defeating the younger
player at "a, 90, ca, and Bull
gained his bracket oy dispoging Of
Frederick T. Frelinghuysen ut ca,

Yesterdays rain curtailed the sched-
uled programme, and only four
matches we're completed in t7c sim
giles. The doubles were to have start
ed yesterday, but it was necessary to
postpone them, too, until to-day. The
tournament committee plans TO get IN
q full days work and the players will
begin thor work about 10 o'clock this
morning, the tournament continuing
tomorrow and finishing on Monday.
William j. Clothier, winner of the
Nassau Cup last year in this tOurna-
ment, made his first appearance in
competition this season against Frank
NJ. Watrous, the old Yale captain, and
won a hollow victory at 6-l, Go.
The former national champion did not
appear to feel the lack of practice,
and after Watrous, serving, had taken
the first game of the match, Clothier
swung into his stride and ran out
twelve games in a row for the match.
The tall Philadelphia moved about
the court with the same deliberate,
imperturoable manner that he always
affects, no matter who his opponent
may be. He drove consistently to
deep court until Watrous was well
back from the net, and then advanced
to the barrier himself TO finish the
points with sharp voileys or well d.
rected smashes across the court
Frelinghuysen was just strong
enough at the net to give Bull plenty
to do all the time, and several times
he had me better OF tine rallies that
took place from mid-court.
Toward the end of each set, however
Bull took command, and gained the ad-
vantage by masterful play at the net.
He often tricked his opponent out of
position ana lHeH SHOb Mo ieIuiHS

Karl Behr, internationahst, was

first round, but the latter defaulted 20
the Davis Cup player.
Alfred S. Dabney, of Boston, was
carried three sets by Fenimore Cady,
former Amherst and New England
intercollegiate champion, before he
came through at 3-6, 81, 6-3. In
the opening set the Boston man was
inclined to erratic handling Of the ball
and could not gauge the court limits
successfully, whereas Cady's shots
were accurately timed and placed, and
he took the lead at 6-3.
Thereafter Dabney gained control Of
his strokes and his net play improved
visibly, Cady being caught out of posi-
tion often as Dabney plastered the OPP

across the forecourt.
