National Singles Champion Defeated
Yesterday by Nathaniel w.

Tourney.
PLAY ON MUDDY COURT
Niles and Lindley Murray Expected
to Meet i'm Finals With Latter
Favored to Win
Match.
TBY H. G. HAMILTON


TUnited Press Staff Correspondent
FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. "a
With Lieutenant r. Norris Williams
II, the national singles champion out
of the way, the national patriotic
singles tournament on the courts of
the West Side Tennis club here is ex-
pected to come down to battle be-
tween Nathaniel w. Niles, Longwood
club veteran, and Robert Lindley
Murray, the left handed star of
Niagara Falls.
Murray is scheduled to meet John
Strachan of California, in the semi
final round today, their match hav-
ing been postponed by the rain that
also made the Williams-Niles match
q duel in the mud. 1t was generally
believed that Murray would defeat
Strachan, although the Californian's
tennis has been consistently high
class.
Murray is favored to win from
Niles if he passes the Strachan OBJ
stacle. Niles victory over the ma
tional champion was due largely to
Williams lack of form rather than
through any sensational work by
Niles. The Bostonian played care
full game, spotting his shots accur-
ateiy Williams lost many points
through errors on his own returns.
Williams found great deal Of
trouble in handling the soggy ball.

BOAT SEASON
NEARING END
Streckfus Boats to Quit Trade Within
Next Week-Season Has Not
Been Prosperous One
This Year.

The Streckfus steamboat line will
close its season this week the last
steamer north to be the ST. Paul, which
passed through Keokuk for the south
yesterday morning and which will re-
turn north through the local port next
Sunday. On returning south it will
not again inavde the northern Missis-
sippi this year.
The steamer Quincy passed through
Keokuk Wednesday night on her last
trip north and is expected south next
Tuesday.
The steamer Dubuque has been TAX
en- out of the trade and will not even
| take the short Burlington-St. Louis
| trip which she took in the early part Of
! the season.
Even the excursion season, so far as
| the Streckfus boats are concerned, is
nearing close here.
| Information received here is to the
effect that the business this year has
| been far from a profitable one, and
this may be the reason why the boats
are being taken off the trade so early
in the season, as a matter of fact, the
season being but a little over half fin
| ished.
| On this same topic an exchange has
the following to say concerning the
withdrawing Of the Streckfus line
steamers SO early:
Evidently the Streckfus people are
making good their early threat to with
draw from the upper river trade for
this season, at least, as the normal sea-
son is Just about half over now There
can be but one reason-the trade is
not paying sufficiently well to cause
! the Streckfus company to care to con-
tinue the service
! This is quite a blow to up river
cities and places them absolutely at
the mercy Of the railroads except in
short trade covered by other steam
boat lines. 1t hardly seems like a
move toward the much-talked-of rehab-
ilitation of river traffic, and yet it may
result in that very thing. With the
boats withdrawn Just now, when traffic
conditions are congested as they never
were before, the river cities will prob
ably realize what river traffic means to
them, and will demand river freight
service as the one relief. The demand
will be met either by the Streckfus
company or by some new and modern
equipment sent out by new company.
and then river trac may again come
into its own"
The White Collar line steamers
Helen Blair and Keokuk expect to re-
main in the trade.

OBSERVE ORDER
CALLING MEN
Local Boards Must Heed Rotation
Numbers Of Drafted Men, Ac-
cording to Ruling
From CroWder.

The provost marshal general has
sent the following telegram to the
governors of all states:
Reports received concerning few
local boards are to the effect that
these boards are proceeding to call
throughout the whole list of persons
registered, then to certify UP only
those who claim no exemption re-
CARELESS of whether their order of
obligation places them within the
quota, leaving the claims of exemp-
ton undecided OF merely formally
allowing all of them without dis
elimination.
In effect this course permits volun-
teering among registrants. This
method Is Illegal and unauthorized.
All registrants stand in an equality
before the law except as the law de-
crees an inequality. The law DEGREES
an inequality only where exemption
boards, after properly exercising thelr
functions, have granted exemptions or
discharges. Furthermore, the method
results in calling men for military
service out of their order.
Local boards should certify those
who claim no exemption rapidly, but
they should also act on claims for ex-
empt1on rapidly and within the time
prescribed by regulations and certify
the cases at once. District boards
should also certify promptly to local
boards those who claim no exem9-
ton, but they should also act prompt
ly on the cases Of those who do claim
exemption, and especially on the
cases of persons whose order of obi
CATION is early The first 80 per cent
of the quota may be composed OF
men whose cases are decided, al
though the case Of persons of prior
obligation are still pending in the
district board, but great care must De
taken by the local board to send no
one to military duty whose order Of
obligation is so late as to make it
improbable that he will be within
the total quota.
By September 10, when the second
call Is made, there will be enough ap-
pealed cases and cases within the ex-
elusive jurisdiction Of the district
board decided to make up the second
80 per cent from men whose order of
obligation is early, and who are hence
sure to be within the quota. The same
will be true Of the 80 per cent to be
furnished on October 3. The last 10
