But with the beginning of the last
set the former Middle States champion
seemed to take on a new lease Of life
and declared he was getting his second
wind. His words were confirmed by his
actions on the courts almost immedi-
ataly thereafter, for he started a ses-
sion Of -urious driving from the base
line, nlcklng the side lines many times
for aces, as Tilden, surprised at the
sudden change in his opponents play
ing. found himself being caught out of
position.
But the show of fight in Pell only
served to disclose new powers in Til

by the flashing racquet work that he
showed for the remainder of the match.
His overhead volleying was wonder
fully severe and well placed, and he
covered his court with such superiative
speed and rare anticipation of his op-
ponent's returns that Pell was borne
down to inevitable defeat

ROOSEVELT'S REPLY
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Washington, Jan. 25.-Col. Roose-
upon him in the senate last Monday
in speech late yesterday before the
National Press Club, characterizing
the Missouri senator's address as an
insidious effort on behalf of Germany
and as the first injection of partisan
ship in the discussion of the govern
ment's conduct of the war. Next to
assailing an efficient public servant,
Roosevelt said, the worst offense is to
defend an inefficient servant, for that
reason he was supporting Senator
Chamberlain and his associates on the
military committee who were investi-
eating "maladministration" of the
war department.
Declaring that the present was no
time for politics Roosevelt said: "No
public servant and no private citizen
in this public relation, at this time
has any business to consider partisan
politics in any way" Col Roosevelt
pointed to the fact that he had criti-
cised the conduct of the Spanish war
and his action then showed that he
believed himself performing his duty
now. It was never more necessary
than now, he said, to tell the people
the truth, eff conditions are good, tell
the truth, and if they are bad, tell the
truth, if they have been bad and be-
come good tell the truth" He further
said that the navy department was in
efficient six months ago but was now
doing efficient work, and the work of
ship building was now in excellent
hands.
