FERGUSON BEATS
 LII. ROBSON IN I ENNIS FINALS

TUCSON Oct. FIN A Ferguson of Fl Paso, border states champion annexed the title of Arizona state singles tennis champion this morning when he defeated Colonel Hobson, of Douglas, in the final round of the tournament. Ferguson took the match in three straight sets.
 The first two sets were rather dis appointing as Col. Hobson fell some what below the standard of tennis which he exhibited Sunday while Ferguson was at his best and the Fl Pasoan went through both sets easily at 6-2, 60. The third set. however, was a far different story. Col. Hob sons wonderful endurance and grit came to his rescue and he put up wonderful battle, forcing the set 10 deuce repeatedly, having the lead in games twice and extending Ferguson to the limit of his powers.
 The break came in the 18th game of Chis set when Hobson. after having it 40-15, lost four straight points. It was apparent then that he had Fergu- son badly tired and could he have won that vantage game, would prob ably have won the set.
 An analysis of the victory shows that Ferguson defeated Hobson three sets to love, 21 games to g. 122 points to 95. In the first set, Ferguson scored 39 points to 27;; in the second, 26 to 12; and in the third, 57 to A.
 Outs ere very close, Hobson having only 41 to Ferguson's 37. Ferguson ] actually double fauited II times to | Hobsons' nine and only made three service aces to the Coloners two, put | the colonel drove into the net 36 times to 22 for Ferguson ind scored only "A placements as against Ferguson's 30 The two latter tell the story.
 Bert Baker of the university, wor the consolation singles from E. A Marshall of Phoenix, 4-6, 6-3, o-3 This match was also played this morning.
 The tournament was the most sue cessful held in the history of the state due to the effective work done bl James M Lawton, head of the loca committee, and A. T. Thomson O Douglas, the official referee.
 On account of the fact that man. players left Sunday, it was necessar, to draft volunteer set of officials fo the finals match, A. H. Lyon acting al
 umpire. Dr. Butler of Tucson, am Bailey of Fl Paso, calling the servfc and lines on the north court, an, Hinderer of Prescott, and Lessor o McNeil, calling the south court.

features OF the day was the discussion
in the chemical section. Chemistry
work has received such "a renewed
amount Of interest In this country dur
ing the last four years that It merits
special attention from safety engineers.
Among The papers read was one by
a. II. Massey. OF the dupont Company
Of Wilmington, Del, on Some Expert
encc In Accident Prevention in the Dye
Industry" Mr. Massey called attention
to the fact that the dye industry Is so
extremely varied that the work Of the
safety man I'm one plant is different in
detail from that OF the man. in another,
or the man In a general chemical plant.
He pointed out. however, that the fun
damental problem is the same-the pre-
ventlon Of accidents and the preserva-
ton Of health. In many instances. he
said. the health problem is a more seri-
Gus one than that which we commonly
term "accldent prevention"
Mr.. Massey took UP a number OF in

refuse to use safety appliances and he
said that this can only be overcome by
