known local character around Enemy
Swim and other lakes of Day county,
whose body was found in Enemy
Swim lake. A coroner's jury was sum

effect that death was accidental. But
Just how he came to be drowned has
not been revealed.
When last seen alive he stated he
had not been feeling we'll, but felt
somewhat better. SO far as known
he had no relatives in this part OF
the country. About eight years ago
he became lost in a storm and was
frozen so badly that all the fingers
of both hands and both of his thumbs
had to be amputated. Despite this
handicap he had managed ito make

WILLIAMS NEW
TENNIS CHAMP
EAs,rERNER REGAINs TITLE BY
DEFEATING JOHNSTON IN
CLOSE MATCH AT FOREST
HILLS.

Forest Hills, N. Y.-For the sec
ond time in his short career on
American courts. r. Norris Williams
III of Philadelphia won the national
turf singles championship at the
West Side club here yesterday after
noon, when he defeated William M.
Johnston of San Francisco, the 1915
champion in a fve-set match, 40,
Cd; 0-6; Ga; Ga.
The match was hardly up to the
tennis expected from these two mas
ters of racquet and court. The gal
lery of close to 10000 spectators
looked for wonderful and thrilling
exhibition from the two survivors OF
the 12S entrants, who started play
here more than week ago. There
was lacking the sensational lighting
OF the ball, which was so marked in
the Murray-Church contests.
Occasionally one of the players
would swing into his best tennis and
for few moments the play would
sparkle with beautiful executed
drives. smashes and lobs. Then, as
if fearful they would curtail their
forceful stroking of the ball and
proceed to throw, away point after
point by the most amateurish errors.
Such advantage as Williams had
came from his taking the greater
chance and his ability TO stroke the
ball closer to the danger point than
Johnston. Added to this was the vic
tors greater physical stamina. which
aided him as the contest progressed. !.
The atmosphere was rather humid
and more favorable TO Williams than
to Johnston, who is accustomed to
the cooler air of the Pacific coast.
