WANT STATION REOPENED.

A petition from the citizens of Ferris
burg has been sent to the Rutland rail-
road company requesting that the Fer
risburg station be opened so that the
public may find warm Accommodations at
night for the trains due to arrive be-
tween 10 and II O'Clock. Lately the
trains have been so late and the night
trains so cold that the granting of the
request would mean much for the COM
fort of the travelling public.

MILK CAMPAIGN IN VERMONT,
Great success has attended the cam
paign of the New England Milk Pro-
ducers association since 1t opened It's
State.by-State organizing plan, The
first of these "drives" was made in
New Hampshire, This week the Or
ganizers are in Maine, Next week will

headquarters in the Myrick building in

tracts with distributors in the cities are
dealt with, and that without the usual
long contests.

association will be held in Boston Feb

.DOUBLE-HEADER IS
BOOKED FOR TODAY
Rain Postpones Observation-Disclosures
Clash-Ray Morgan Reports.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 13-Rain
caused the third game of the series
between the Nationals and Indians to
be called off, so there will be a double
header staked tomorrow with Gallia
and Harper in the points for the Griff-
men, while Cleveland will oppose with
Morton and Lambeth.
Ray Morgan. out for two weeks with
a charley horse. rejoined his old team
mates today. He will hardly get into
the genes on Saturday but expects to
start against the Chicago White Sox
next week. Morgan. during his en-
forced lay-off, did not gain any weight
much to the surprise of Manager Grif-'
fifth, and Ray will soon be on the job
as a regular.
Cleveland baseball fans are to profit
as a result of the weather, that Is,
instead of having but seventy-seven
games scheduled here as is the case
in the other major league cities,
seventy-eight set-to's are billed.
When the Indians were in Washing
ton last month only one of the four
scheduled games was played to a de-
cision. Two resulted in tie scores and
the other was postponed on account OF
rain.
Because the war has detracted from
the interest in baseball in Washing
ton, one of these games will be trans
ferred to this city. and played as a
special attraction on Sunday. July %.
Ray Chapman has acquired a nifty
lead in the race for sacrificing honors.
The Indians star shortstop has turned
the trick forty-one times. This feat.
added to the fact that Ray is tied
with Bobby Roth for stealing, and that
he is hitting well over 800 makes him
a pretty valuable man to have around.
Harry Harper became tangled up
with a bunch of Cleveland sports to-
night and insisted in butting into an
argument, the upshot being that Har-
Ter bet sSa-even money with one fan
that the Indians would not win both
games of tomorrow's double-header.

HOLDS
SECOND CHAMPION
TITLE OF SEASON

FOREST HIS. L. ]. Aug. 26.-R.
Lindley Murray, after three unsuc-
cessful tries, is today ranking player
in the United States. The dashing
left-hAnder. a prototype OF the slash
ing California styel OF tennis, de-
feated the veteran Nat W. Niles in
the fnal OF the patriotic tennis tourna-
ment yesterday by 81, SO, G-3, and 60.
While no title Is given, Murray Will
be known as the champion. He now
has the indoor and outdoor champion
ships in his possession.
Always slow TO start, the popular
Murray had the crowd disheaTtened ~
the start OF his match with the gritty
Bostonian. He carried the first set
to deuce by steadying his game and
playing Niles at his own game from
the back court, only to lose It at rs.
Throughout the second set Murray
found IT impossible to resort TO his
famous fore-hand smashing He drove
nearly every effort. When he did
place them in the court he found
Niles waiting with a steady return.
At his net game. at which IL is gen
orally considered he has no equal, he
found himself outclassed in the early
play.
Gradually, however, Murray began
to md himself and as the match wore
on Niles found himself more and more
out Of the running. The fastener
managed to run the second set TO
deuce, only 10 lose IL, but was hope
lessly outclassed in the third and
fourth.
At one time Murray scored eight
straight points before Niles finally
slipped over . SSSSinS shot.
