RUSSELL Harmon
is TENNIS CHAMP
Defeats Harry Koch, Title Holder
for Last -Four Years, Three
Sets Out Of Four.
KOCH AND Serb WINS DOUBLES

Before gallery that applauded every
play, good, bad and Indifferent. the cli-
max in the city tennis tournament was
reached and the singles championship
changed hands for the first time In five
years. Russell Harmon now holds the
title. which he took from the veteran.
Harry Koch. today In the fastest tennis
the Field club course has even seen In
many day, The score was GO. 81. 40,
ie-e
Koch and Art Scribner won the doubles
championship by defeating Cub Potter
and Guy Beckett two straight matches,
6-s 60. Koch and scribner outelassed
Potter and Beckett. although many OF
the games were PLAYED to deuce.
The Koch-Larmon match was for the
best three out of five. and Harmon an
nexed the first one without any great
display of tennis. After that. however,
every point was hotly contested and the
second set was won by Harmon only after
many deuce games, and many well played
points. For time It seemed that each
player could not win the eerve OF the
other. and the games annexed by each
player were offset by those taken by the
other until each had seven to his credit.
Thin Harmon got the hang OF Koch's serve
and took te game. He followed It up by
winning his own service and the sec
ond set was his.
Koch Takes Third TIT.
In the third set Koch drew on his re-
serve, and let himself out another notch
The play went faster. and the set ended
with but four games to Lannon's credit.
The gallery was enthusiastic, but were
largely for Harmon. livery shot he made
received applause out OF proportion, quite
often. to It's Importance, and every game
he won called for prolonged blasts from
the klaxons on the autos parked outside
the enclosure. The last set was tho
fastest one Of the match. and the games
won by both contenders mounted higher
and higher until the gallery stood 40
and shouted at every play. Deuce games
were common. and every point was fought
for.
Harmon Plays safe.
Harmon played safe on all Of oKch's
lobs. and only smashed into them when
there was no chance to lose. Koch did
the same, after losing a number of points
by smashing into the net and out OF the
court. Both players used their heads
and every ball was deliberately placed
Harmon played brilliantly, placing the
balls in the most unexpected places. and
both players had their serve down to
fine point.

 The bill provides for the election oi commissioners very much as under tn; present commission government form but contains the additional provision for the selection by the commissioners ol manager, who shall have control of the municipality's affairs.
 The bill was called up by Represen- tative Fite shortly after the house con vened and the debate on the measure continued until the hour for recess. II was nearly 1 o'clock this afternoon before the vote on the measure was taken.
 Representative Davis of Walker pre-. cipitated the debate on the bill wher he offered an amendment to exclude from it's provisions cities and towns of 5000 and less population. He de clared the bill was far from democratic principles and intlmated that h, thought the bill was loaded in favor of the larger cities.
 Representative Fite of Tuscaloosa, au thor of the measure, declared in answer to MT. Davis that charges that the bil was loaded were untrue.
 In explaining the provisions of the bill Representative Fite said commissioner. could be elected by the people, could bt recalled by the people, and that the. could elect a manager. The manager, ac cording to the bill, need not be a resi- dent of the city or state. MT. Fitt showed that Dayton, O., came to Birming ham for it's city manager. Representative Shapiro of Jefferson ther spoke in favor of the bill. He declared tn Fite bill would bring about great i'm provement in municipal affairs. The Davis amendment was adopted by a vote of 56 to 27. Representative Gray | son of Mobile then offered an amendmen to exclude Montgomery and Mobile iron the provisions of the bill.
 Mir. Fite opposed this amendment, b.s the Montgomery and Mobile delegations with the exception of MT Wilson of Mo
 bile. strongly favored it. The Graysol amendment was adopted by an over whelming vote.
 The house then recessed for lunch, an, | upon reconvening this afternoon renewe, consideration of the bill. which wa passed by a vote of 6S to f.
