the court and watched Miss Bjurstedt's
remarkable covering of court, her
slashing backhand drives for the cor
ners and her full volleying of McNeal's
hard hit drives were Of the opinion
that never before had the great Nor
wegian shown to better advantage.
This was only partly true. 1t is a
fact that Marvellous Molla moved
about the court with more dash and
speed and brought off her strokes with
greater snap than in many months
She showed the benefit of the long
rest she has enjoyed and was hitting
the ball harder, particularly on her
backhand, than at any time since her
first year of play in this country. But
the champion was not at her best in
other departments of the game.
For one thing, she was not bringing
off her forehand drive, her greatest
shot, with the certainty that is her
usual custom, and her service, never
severe, was even less so yesterday.
Shows Lack of Practice
When it is considered, however, that
Miss Bjurstedt has done little playing
since the end of the outdoor season
and is several weeks short Of her best
form, it is easy to believe that she will
WELD her old supreme sway on the
courts Of the East this year. Innumer-
able times yesterday she gave indica-
tons that she is capable of exceeding
any of her previous performances on
the courts since her triumphal entry
into the United States some four years
ago.
Alexander thrilled the gallery by his
volleying and his terrific forehand
drives. He covered wonderful
amount of ground in meeting the at
tack of the opposing pair, and some of
his shots for the side lines were so
skilfully placed as to make returns i'm
possible.
1t looked for time in the fourth set
as though the former Davis Cup star
had shot his bolt, for he seemed to lag
bit in the swift rallies. In the final
himself Quick as a cat to reach the
net after service, he bombarded the OPP
posite court with spectacular smashes
of lobs and took the ball on the full Or
half volley with great skill.
Many times there were when the in
ternationalist earned the points by
using the trickiest of block volleys to
place the ball just over the net when
McNeal and Miss Wagner were far out
of position in back court.
Miss Wagner, as fine doubles player
as she is, was cleanly outplayed by
Miss Bjurstedt yesterday The indoor
champion was slow in getting about the
court, thus placing the burden Of cover
ing up the holes too much on McNeal's
shoulders. and except in the third and
fourth sets, when the service and play
at the net were going at their best, she
was the weakest player of the four and
is plainly short of practice.
Master of Half Volley
McNcal a great part of the time
played the most brilliant tennis of the
day. A master Of the half volley, he
used this shot often as he charged for
the net position 20 catch Alexander
and Miss Bjurstedt anchored on the
baselnc. His service was extremely
severe and we'll placed, and in the third
and fourth sets he rose to great
heights.
But there was too much for McNea]

John Shelton Williams to Re-
port and Commission May
Be Appointed

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-The ap-
pontment Of commission to study the
financial situation among public utili-
ties, streetcar, gas and electric com
panies and recommend a course Of ac-
tion by the government is being con-
sidered in Administration circles.
John Shelton Williams, Controller Of
the Currency, is engaged in compiling
such data as is available in the Treas
ury Department. and it is understood
this will be placed in the hands of
President Wilson. Should Mr.. Will
lams's report show conditions to be as
serious as represented by some Of the
utilities, especially streetcar com
panles, an announcement of some kind
is expected from the White House
Since early last summer, when the
National War Labor Board authorized
large increases in wages to employees
Of q number of the large street car
companies, the latter have been trying
to get the Federal government to take
over rate-making and authorize ad-
vances that would meet their added
expenses President Wilson let it be
known that he lacked authority to take
such step, and it is understood he
did not favor legislation that would
grant him the power.
The finances of some of the public
utilities companies are in such straits
nav as to cause the Treasury Depart
ment alarm. The problem, it is be-
coming to be recognized, is one that
the Federal government must solve,
and for this reason the Administration
is getting ready to meet it.

Regarding the effect of the Russian

pearance> of the reserve fund of g.

United States Commercial Attahe, re-
ports from Copenhagen that the cause
was the unprecedented fall in Russian
exchange, whereby the outstanding ac-
counts In Russia were decreased in
value by no less than 1853, 1913 9O9 marks.
The exceptional profit made by the
bank on other foreign transactions has
reduced this loss to 90,S93,O54 marks.
The Finnish government has now
voted $50 900 marks for strengthen
ing the balance of the bank, whereby
Its position is again secured.
The paper currency of the bank on
January l, 1917, was 416,300,OOO marks,
compared with 766,7O0,O00 marks in
1918, which is an increase of So per
cent in one year. At the same time
the amounts on deposit increased from
46,OO0,0OO marks to 249, 100000 marks.
while inland bills of exchange. loans
and cash credits have been but slightly
changed. The reduction of the metal
reserve covering the paper money is
very great. In the third week of De-
cember the reserve was LOGS 900 900
