Upset in LOngwOOd Tennis Tourney
CasJG Griffin Defeated R. Norris Williams, 2nd Former
 Champ in Straight Sets-CaIifornian Played Strong Game-Japanese Players Advance Into Third Round
@gzessSRzazs

Boston, July 24.-One of the. greatest upsets recorded in the quarter century of LOngwood tennis history developed in the second round of the singles tournament today when c. J. Griffin of San Francisco disposed of R. Norriss Williams, End, of Cambridge, Mass, tn eformer national champion, in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5. Williams plain ly showed lack of practice. The only department where he was at all for midable was his service, but even there he made a maximum number of double faults for a two set match. His volleys were weak and his game .over- head cratic.
 On the other hand Griffin played the best game he has ever shown in the east. His passing strokes, particularly in the second set, were brought out skillfulIy.
 All the other CaIifornians of proni- hence, William N. Johnston, the na- tiOnal champion, Ward Dawson and Roland Roberts, came through without being crowded to any appreciable ex- tent5 while of the eastern players of note, w. M. WasI1burn, Craig Riddle, B. H. Whitney, W. s. NcElroy, J. J. Armstrong, G. B. Gardner, Jr., Rich ard Harte and N. W. Niles were sue cessfuI.
 The two Japanese players, H. Mi kami and l. Kuma gae, also went into the third round, AIikami being forced to three sets by G. W. Wightman of this city. Play in the first and second rounds was completed.

Not until the European war is over, in all probability, will France be fully aware of the debt she owes to the Paris omnibuses. TrickHngs of news regarding the performances of these vehicles since the start of hOStilitieS have reached this country from time to time, but the full story has just begun to unfold itself. For some months American manufacturers have endeavored to obtain a full history of these bUsses, but 1t is only recently that accurate information has been obtainable from dependable French en- gineers among whom has been M. De FreminVille.
 A great deal of praise has been giv- en the taXiCabs of Paris for their work at the beginning of the battle of the Aisne, when they transported the army of Paris to the front and landed it on the German flank. In reality it was the busses of Paris, l. the world, running night and day to accomplish the task set for them.
 At the first call to arms the Paris onanibusses were sent for. The call was made in the afternoon and before morning a full thousand of them gathered at the appointed rendezvous ready for any duty, supplies on board and driven in their places. The troops transported, the busses began the work of carrying men, cannon, am munition of all kinds and food sup plies to the most advanced positions. Some were fitted with special bodies for carrying troops and it has been due largely to their quick work that the French generals have been able to reinforce threatened points in their lines at critical times.

A dirtv automoEiIe Iooks twioe as oId

A dirty automobile looks twice as old as it really is.
 A grinly car is less likely to perform with the surety and satisfaction of a clean one.
 Care are too often garaged on a stor- age basis and the only Washings they receive are an occasional one when the owner feels so inclined.
 A mud -smeared or filthy automobile is not favorable to the car nor does it reflect creditably upon the owner.
 An owners interest in a dirt-C cover ed motor car dWindIes. A clean car is dynamic. It attracts attention, even that of the owner and his family.
 A loose nut or other parts that are in need of adjustment are more readily detected on clean car than a dirty one.
 Much of the Iustrous apearance of a motor car or lack of lustre is due to the manner of polishing it from time to time. You would not think of let tng a valuable piece of furniture go for a long period of time without ap- plying a good furniture polish to it, and then rubbing it afterward.
 The same thing can very wisely be done to the body of the car. There are a number of good pOiishes on the market which are intended not only for furniture polish, but for polishing the body of the car as well. If the owner would have his car looking as well as his furniture, per iOdis cleaning and polishing is neces- sary. To expect a highly polished car to keep it's lustre indefinitely, after be- ing used in all sorts of weather is ask ing the most impossible. However. a reasonable amount of care by the car owner can do much toward keeping the body Iustre as nearly like that of a new car as possible.
 Why not take the same care with your car as you do with your shoes? |? Motorists have their shoes polished perhaps every day, perhaps only twice week. Some might go as far as to leave shoe polishing alone.
 In applying paste poIishes the mis- take is often made in rubbing the paste directly on to the body. Much better results will be obtained if the polish is placed in a small sack or in a pocket formed by a piece of cloth. Then by rubbing the sack or pocket against the body the polish will ooze out through the pores in the cloth and ir this way the paste will be applied evenly all over the body surface.
