Williams began by shooting over a ter
rife service ace. The next point he
took on a passing shot as Niles closed
in at the net, then dropped the follow
ing point on an out Another superb
placement ace across the court as he
came into the service court on the run
made the point score 49-15 in the
champions favor and the game was his
when Niles crashed a low drive into
the net.
But the Longwood star was driving
wonderfully well through Williams
deep court. and his service was severe
and beautifully placed. Three times
the champion overdrove the baseline
in his attempts to handle his opponents
delivery, and a Melted ball gave the
game to Niles at love.
The man from Boston broke through
Williams's service in the fourth game,
but almost entirely because of the
champions errors, and from then on
until the last game OF the set, with the
exception of the sixth session, which
Williams took at love, the conqueror
of Mclaughlin and Johnston was as
wild as the wind, and Niles had the
first set at 90.
The champion had not been follow
ing up his forcing shots quickly enough
in the early stages Of the match. Niles,
as steady as Gibraltar, was continually
catching his opponent out Of position
Just back of the service court, com
pelling Dick TO take the ball on the
| half-volley.
When he ia playing his full game
Williams can make these difficult shots
with amazing skill and success, but
something was lacking in that first set
and he was fubbing disastrously.
Williams Improves
Then came the second set, with Will
Jams going more smoothly. The shots
that had been just missing the lines
or hitting the net tape were hitting
the chalk and skimming inches over
| the barrier. Niles took the first two
games by splendid deep driving down
the side lines. and seemed about TO
sweep his opponent before him.
But Williams called halt here, and
made the gallery murmur in wonder
ment as he reeled off dazzling cross
court shots on the full volley, taking
Niles's hardest drives as he closed in
at the net. He ran four games in a
row. even though Niles, keen for vic
tory, was putting up the game Of his
life.
The Longwood player made a great
stand in the seventh and ninth games
winning these on superb placements
down the side lines, but Williams was
moving at an irresistible pace, and took
the set at Ga, bringing the match all
square.
The third set began with the players
almost shrouded in a heavy mist, and
the gallery, game and unflinching, hud-
died in the stand. Niles started the
service, as he did at the beginning OF
each set, and won the game after a
| long battle at deuce. Williams took
the second at love, with four tremen.
dous services; Niles the third, after
another deuce session. and then they
alternated up to ALL.
The champion was not coming in on
his forcing shots as frequently as be.

made them count by hitting in the
pinches, fully half their blows. and,

other hand New York was often IN
position to damage Klepfer, but, as
usual, the pinch hit failed to mate

The Berlin Tageblatt is kind enough to attempt to remind us that war means end to the policY=ef avoiding entangng alliances which the days of Washington has been article of faith Does the advice of that greatest of Americans and subimes of patriots indeed stand in the way of pol icy to which the Presidents proposals may lead? the father of his country lift warning hand against effective association with the nations which we fighting for democracy and against auto cracy. even may be called upon to fight?
 Absolutely not. On the contrary, in the farewell address he plainly foresees the probability great emergencies which would call for just such temporary and gave them his explicit sanction Against permanently linking fortunes by of agree ment with European nations he spoke words of dom when he said 'lt is true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far l mean, at liberty to do it. But with far-sighted patriotism and gacity which find their complete vndication in the present situation of the land he helped create he said Taking always keep by suitable tabshments respectable defensive posture we safely trust to temporary alliances for extraor- dinary emergencies
 In his attriotic and vibrant speech in the United States Senate the resolution declaring existance of state of between this country and Germany Senator Lodge apty and ably emphasized this perti- nent distinction:
 "I thorough believer in the general policy laid down by Washington when he advised the people the United States not to enter into permanent al dances; but the who the American revolu- uon through the alliance with France would have been the last to lay down hard and fast rule that under no circumstance and for purpose ever to ally ourselves with other nations.
 "Far-seeing and wise, he knew very we'll that dan gers might come which would make temporary al liance agreement with foreign nations imperative That time has arrived. It would be madness for to attempt to make alone upon Germany and find ourselves perhaps, the end left isolated, at with that power, when all the nations had peace because We had not associated ourselves with them"
