 In the singles matches William M. Johnston of San Francisco, national champion, defeated Howard Notman of Brooklyn, so, 6-1, 6-0 Clarence J. riffin of San Francisco. holder with Johnston of the doubles championship, defeated F. c. Baggs, of New York, 8-6, 6-0, ca; Maurice B. Mclaughlin, of Los Angeles, national champion in 1912 and 1918, defeated R. B. McClave of Scranton, Pa., 60, 6-1, 6-2 and D. H. Whitney, of New York; defeated Ward Dawson of Los Angeles. 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.
 In none of the matches were the winners pressed at any time and with the exception of Dawson, all the Pa cific Coast stars took the opportunity to practice strokes at the expense of the players who were drawn against them in the singles. Chief interest Centered in the play of Mclaughlin, 1t being his first tournament play of iTn' pOrtance in the east this season. While he was not obliged to exert himself at any time, he occasionally unlimbered one of his famous service aces or terrific volley smashes.
 The playing of these contests leave sixty matches still to be decided in the first round. They will be started at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. In the afternoon Johnston and Griffin will UeLeIld LnelF LlJIeS aga1nSt McLOuShlln and Dawson, the Challengers, by right of victory in the preliminary series Of intersectfOnal doubles matches.
 The schedule of the more important contests for tomorrow follows:

Griffin, San Francisco
 None of the singles entrants prac- ticed during the day except the Jap anese star IcLiya Eumagae, and Dean Nathey. Late in the afternoon this pair took the courts and indulged in several close practice sets in which no scores were kept. The play attracted major portion of the gallery which apDlauded the deep court strokes of the Japanse racquet expert and the sharp returns of his opponent.

MORRIS MORAN FIGHT
 STYLED A BOXING CONTEST
Under That Title, Oklahoma Will Per
 init Event to be Staged There.

Oklahoma City, OI-Ia., Aug. 28. The question of permitting the Norris Moran fight at Tulsa on Labor Day was left to the officials of Tulsa County today by Lieutenant Governor Trapp, who in the absence of Governor Williams is acting governor.
 Replying to telegram from the sheriff of Tulsa county for an express sion of his attitude on the proposed boxing contest" the lieutenant gov ernor said:
 T have confidence in the officers of Tulsa city and county and assume that the laws will be enforCed.'
 Under Oklahoma laws prize fighting is prohibited. In his telegram to Acting Governor Trapp the sheriff re- ferred to the fight as a boxing con test.
 With the reopenlng of the seat sale and the assurance of conuty officials that there probably would be no in terference if the Moran Morris bout comes within the Oklahoma law des- scribing boxing contest ts," confidence prevailed today in fight circles that the bout would take place as sche- duled.
 A physician who examined the prin- cipals today pronounced both men to be in perfect condition.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 23-The Ma tionaI Commission today servtde no tice on all major league baseball clubs 35 or more payers on September 15 that all clubs whose roster incudes vii lnot be permitted to file draft for this season.
 The announcement also reminds the clubs that the mapor league drafting season begins on September IS and closes September 20 The hour and place of the commissions meeting for the opening and awarding of selec- tiOns of players through the draft will be announced later.
 It was also learned se,ni-ofTicial1y that the meeting would be an open one this oyear and the drafts an nounced publicly.

During the last two years Of the Federal League the drafts were kept secret until the player had been signed to a contract.

choices. Candidates from last years freshman class hold fair promise and should respond to varsity coaching. i
 In particular, the weakest points in the embryo eleven, as evidenced at this early stage, are quarterback the ends and the tackles. The positions of greatest strength should be the half- backs and fullbacks for which there are @ number of candidates Of almost equal merit. At the guard positions Captain Hogg and NOUrse will dOubt-# less retain their posts and add strength to the vital part of the Tiger machine
 Although the university has delayed it's opening until October 10 in order to obviate any danger from infantile paralysis, it is expected that the foot ball plans will progress acnoTding to schedule. It is assured that the prac- tice will open September l2, and 1t is likely that the first game, with Holy Cross on September 90. will be taken care of. There is a game with North Carolina University scheduled for Oc-
 tober ', and by the time the students have returned the season will be we'll under way.

Railway Labor Negotiations Proved 2
 Strong Deterrent.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Italy's declara- UiOn of war agaInsl Germany and Ru- manla's entrance into the conflict should, in the logical course of events. have favOrablv affected the interna- tiOnaI list in tOday's stock market but the conflicting and shifting character of the news from Washington in re- spect to the railway labor negotiations proved a, strong offset.
 Leading rails were lower by one to almost two points at times with marked heaViness in motors and the prominent munitions and equipments, while COpper5 showed better resist ance. Sugars, tobaccos and some of the shipping shares also u-uoIed per sistent pressure, this condition being the more striking by reason Of the ac- tivity and strength Of Mercantile Marines. Marine iss ans were the out standing features Of the session, their veery large turnover constituting fully 25 percent Of the days opera tiOns. The common scored an extreme ad- vance of 3 7-8 on it's rise to the record price of 42 and the preferred made an extreme gain of 3-4 at 10l 7-8.
 Hurried covering of short contracts in the final hour went far towards ef- facing losses in Reading, Union PaCi- fc, U. s. Steel and other favoritcs, the movement being accompanied Dy uu- verified TumOrs of more satisfactory outlook in the railway situation. Total sales were 62O,00O shares.
 Advices from Chicago and other irl- portant railway centers reported fur ther tonnage gains on western rail roads, high grain prices causing large shipments of cereals, with danger of q a, serious car shortage.
 The strength of rubIes or Russian exchange was the feature of the in ternatiOnal markets, francs easing. with sterling bills unchanged.
 Bonds tended lower on nominal dealings Total sales, par value were $2,13O,OOO.
 U. s. coupon 4's advanced 3-4 per cent. on call.
