Racquet has been unusually strong
In doubles teams. While the singles
players, Cecil and Ed Dowd and
Hiram Cash have had their fair share
OF wins, the doubles teams have car
ried Racquet through consistently.
Z. Dowd and HOwenstein, C. Dowd

In the doubles have been uniformly
successful in cleaning UP. Yssterday's
win over Standards was the true
measure OF the strength OF the
Racquet club in doubles competition.
Others Not BaIaseed-
Other clubs in the circuit are not
well balanced. Petworth has Knox
and Buckingham, dependable players
in singles and doubles. Holmead has
Barber and Holmead, both good
singles men. Paired at doubles. Hol-
mead and Barber make a fne COM
bination and one hard to defeat.
Greene and Beadle. OF the Home Club,
are good in singles and doubles, while
Tracey and Robinson. of Home,
Cragie and Phelps, Of Standards,
and Spence and Pierce, Of Argyle, are
steady players In both singles and
doubles.
These weaker clubs are liable to
come through with upsets at any
time. Princeton was barely able to
take four out Of seven in a match
with the home club recently. losing
great chance to cinch the lead.
In yesterdays engagements, Prince
ton took six Of seven from Argyle.
Racquet landed seven from stand

from Petworth, while Home won four
from Euclid. The teams play again

Munich Committee
Insists on Indemnities
For Germany

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 25.-The Munich
Independent Committee for German
Peace again strongly protests in the
press against a peace without indem-
nifty. II points out that the public
wealth of Germany just previous TO the
outbreak of the war was estimated at
about 500 900 900, 900, of which half has
been wiped out by war expenditures.
To pay interest on the redemption Of
that huge loss, the committee says, 1t
would be necessary to raise by taxation
$4,000, 100000 annually, whereas the i'm
perial budget heretofore has been only
1876, 900, and it is impossible to
raise it beyond s1,500,O00, 900.
The committee declares as fallacious
the popular idea that the capitalists
ultimately will foot the bill, as even
the confiscation of all the large for
tunes in Germany would cover only a
small fraction of the war burden.
without indemnities, il asserts, the less
well-to-do persons will be the sufferers
in the inevitable period of grinding
poverty and crushing taxation.

Middies Play japanese
Anthem for Mission

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Lookins
forward to further sightseeing at his
toric American places, the Japanese
mission returned here tonight from
Annapolis, where they spent the dsy
inspecting the Naval Academy. To-
night they rested, but tomorrow they
viii board the naval yacht Mayhowei
and sail down the Patomsc to Mount
Vernon. 10 pay tribute to the mem
Org Of George Washington.
Scenes in historic Annapolis TO-DAY
delighted the visitors and aroused IN
them the keenest desire 20 visit west
Point later Having admired the spick
and span academy literally from the.
tomb of John Paul Jones TO the top OF
the highest fsgpole, they anaiously IN
ouired about West Point, it's compare
tive beauty, and the possibility OF its
being visited. Plans contemplate their
going there soon.
The day was a happy ono for the
mission. From the moment they
stepped from their private train at the
main gate Of the academy grounds, TO
be greeted by Captain Eberle, superln-
tendent Of the institution, until they
waved last farewell to him, they
smiled and expressed the greatest ad'
miration for the institution.
A company of marines, standing. at
attention. greeted the mission as they
stepped through the main gate, and a
few minutes later, after a walk across
the campus, they found more than
seven hundred plebes, CARRIED in KHAKI
and white puttees, stretched scros'
Worden Field, awaiting review. With
the mission and Captain Eber e stand
ing at attention. the academy band be-
San playing "Kimigayo," the Japanese
national air. Appreciatiye smiles
played across the faces of the visitors
as the thrilling air swept across the
field. The plebes then executed few
evolutions and withdrew amid APP
Dlause.
Thenccforth the visitors were given
the freedom of the academy. They in
spected huge bell on the campus,
which Commodore Perry brought from
Japan years ago.
