By squirting Saturday and taking four straight games Charles G. Will jams of Washington, D. C., won the championship of the National Roque Association defeating Everett W. Rob- inson of Mansfield, Mass, in the play off of the tie in the first division aft CT eleven o'clock at night. At the open ing of the play Saturday morning Huott, E. W. Robinson, Williams and Webb were all possible champions. Huott was beaten by Webb and late in the afternoon was crowded out of first place when he lost a hard fought game to Williams. Williams also beat Kirk and Webb. which left him with ten games won and three lost. Ever cit Robinson played Webb in his f. nal tournament game and won, tieing him with Williams.
 Mir. Williams suggested the divi- sion of the championship between himself and MT. Robinson and later suggested that they toss for the championship. It was finally decided to play off the tie in a single game as tlae hour was so late as to preclude the playing of the usual three games. The game started at 1915 and it was just an hour later that Williams drove his last ball against the stake. Will jams played a strong, even game all through the contest while his oppon- ent did not seem to be able to get go- ing. When Robinson finally got the balls his opponent had such a lead

ENGLAND AND FRANCE TUNNEL

England and France have talked about a tunnel under the Straits of Dover for more than a century. A tunnel would solve the problem of keeping communications open without risk of submarine attacks, and, after four years of war, the project has
 gained a new lease of life. Such a
 tunnel could have been finished long
 ago if construction had started as soon as the military necessity for it became apparent in the first month
 of the war.
 Tunnel work of that kind does not
 call for the employment of many men.
 Only a limited number can work at the headings, and machines for boring tunnels have been perfected which
 would work rapidly and efficiently in
 the chalk formation that underlies the strait Such a tunnel could be flooded at a moments notice by faithful men on watch at each end if the Huns broke through to Calais, so the mili- tary risk is geglgible. As it is, the work might be finished before the end | of the war and be of material help l in winning it. Its commercial import ance has always been recognized, and | it would have been constructed long ago were it not for the inveterate | habit of the English to get into blue funk over nothing.
 l If the Huns reach Calais they win
 be able to command the Straits of l Dover with their long range guns, but 1 they could not prevent the flooding or 1 destruction of such a tunnel to save
 it from falling into their hands. If the Entente allies win the war this tunnel will be constructed after it is
 over Why not start now? Neither
 the expense nor the number of men
 required is a formidable obstacle.- 1 New York Commercial.

DALLAS AND PIGS
 AT THE COINTY FAIR

Waterman F. Brown of sir Main street, is to make 6 showing at the county fair of dahlias, showing, over 800 different varieties in specially reserved space in the fruit and vege- table building. MT. Brown is an ex- pert in the dahlia line and l:es grow ing in his gardens about a thousand varieties. Among the many beautiful flowers the most exquisite is the Millionaire" new variety, the bulbs of which cost $10 apiece. With the variegated blossoms this floral exhibit will be a thing of beauty to the eye and a picture beyond the skill of an artist to represent,
 The swine exhibit at the county fair which was large last year is surpass- ing the record for entries this year and the increase is owing to the call of the government to raise more pork and help win the war. The Boys pig clubs are also helping along the work for many families find that while they have not room to keep 2 COW they have room enough for a pig and are able on the land they have to raise nearly enough food to keep his DOT cine highness through the season an6 get him in good shape to i'll up the pork barrel when the fall comes.

sAMMlEs AMONG THE ToMMIEs

Not enough has been said in Can oda regarding the decision at Wash ington to place United States bat talions in training in British divi- sions. The need of using ali avail able troops, and of hastening the field experience of newly arrived United States forces, brought the order to sink all other considerations in serv ing the general interests of the Al lies at this critical time.
 General Pershing offered his whole army of about ,000 field -experi- eenced men to General Foch to be used in any way at the latter's di- rection. The request to be allowed to share in the heavy work was char acteristic. But this is not all. The continuous arrival of new troops re- quiring polishing up under actual war conditions had provided a large force of reserves but partly ready. The problem was to hasten the bap- tism of fire for these troops, who will be badly needed during the summer. They could not be quickly and eff ficiently trained with the United States front-line forces, because these were not in the fighting zone. Lam guage difficulties made France in- struction too slow. The alternative was to put the new troops, unit Dy unit, in among the British divisions where no difficulties of language or custom would be found. The first l American divisions sent to France were trained with the French army on the ground that perhaps instruc- | tion would be more gracefully re- 1 ceived from the French than from the British The latter seemed toe much like family relations. The
 system might have been continued had there been leisure for the round ing out of American units, but the present emergency puts out of ques-
 tion any delay.
