BinZen and Hunter
Furnish Thrills i'm
Unfinished Match

The second day Of play in the New
Rochelle Tennis Clubs annual Quaker
Ridge championship singles yesterday
was featured by the terrific unfinished
match in the third round between Ell
lott H. Binzen and Lieutenant Fran
els T. Hunter. Binzen took the first
set at 17-15 and held a lead of 81
on games and was within a point of
victory in the eighth game in the
second set, only TO have Hunter, max
ing great uphill fight, snatch the
set from him by score of 7-5.
By this time it was so dark that
the players mutually agreed to resume
this afternoon at the point where they
left off. Judged from the margin be-
tween them yesterday, it is hard to
pick the winner, but Hunter would
seem to have slight advantage, pro-
vided he can control his powerful shots
right at the start of the third set to-
day.
Both men played brilliantly at times
yesterday. In fact their tennis was al
both, also, were wild overhead, and
many of their powerful smashes land
ed the ball we'll out of court and up
against the back,stop nets.
Game after game they battled for
mastery in the first set, and when Bin
zen finally steadicd sufficiently to take
the last games those in the gallery re-
marked that the games score was a
duplicate of the tremendous first set
between Maurice Mclaughlin and Nor
man E. Brookes at Forest Hills, in the
Davis Cup matches of 1914.
Binzen looked an almost certain win
ner in the second set, but just when
all seemed lost Hunter staged most
brilliant attack and gradually forced
the games even, and then took the last
two by sheer strength of hard smash
ing and sharp volleying.
About half a dozen matches we're
played in all, Alfred D. Hammett
reaching into the round before the
semi-fnals through his defeat of W.
Meyer at 3-6, Is, 60. Allen Behr
also won his match in the second
round from E. j. Helm, by score of
GO, 6-3. The tournament will be
continued this afternoon.

New York-New Jersey
Tunnel Bill i'm Senate
Edge Introduces Measure to
Authorize Two States to
Make Agreement

WASHINGTON, May 2O-In order
that there shall be no infringement
of the Constitution, Senator Edge, of
New Jersey, introduced a bill to grant
the consent of Congress to the states
of New York and New jersey to enter
an agreement jointly to construct a
vehicular tunnel under the Hudson
River, as provided for by legislation
of the two states.
Senator Edge considered this legis-
lation necessary to meet a clause of
the Constitution providing that "no
state shall, without the consent of Con-
gress enter into any agreement
or compact with another state"
while l am advised that such legis-
lation may not be impera tive, under
decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States and of several state
courts" said Senator Edge, "I feel that
it is better to play safe Also, I wish
to pay all possible respect to the Con-
stitution of the United States, to which,
it seems, all too little respect is ac-
corded in these days"

YounggCirls g Caught g
Taking Hack Saws
To Tombs rison
investigation of Package
Labelled Books Reveals
Alleged Plot to Free Boy
Held on Murder Charge

plan to bring about the escape
of William Walters, nineteen years old,
in the Tombs on charge of murder in
the first degree, was frustrated yester-
day when two girls, the youths sister
and his sweetheart, were arrested by
Warden Hanley following an alleged
attempt to smuggle in a package la
beled books which was found to con-
tain dozen fine hack saws. The es-
cape of Walters and four fellow pris-
oners was planned for next Sunday
morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Margaret Walters, seventeen, the sis
ter, of AIT East Sixty-eighth Street,
and May Berry, sixteen, of 331 East
Eighty-iirst Street, the sweetheart, fol-
lowing their arrest were subjected to
close questioning by District Attorney
Swami and then sent to Police Head
quarters. They will be arragned to-
day in the Tombs Court.
Both girls were seen yesterday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock in the package room
of the Tombs by Keeper McCarran,
who detected the passing of a pack
age to Max Rothman, trusty in the
prison. The warden had warned the
keeper to watch Rothman, and when
the package was placed in his hands
it was taken from him at once and
opened for examination. When War
den Hanley found the saws he arrest
ed the girls.
To Mr.. Swami the Berry girl said
she and Walters's sister had visited
Walters last Thursday in the Tombs.
The girl said she had obtained admis-
sion by claiming to be a sister of the
prisoner. Walters told her and his
sister to see members of his gang at
Avenue A and Seventy-fourth Street,
get the saws and arrange to have au-
tomobiles in waiting outside the prison
next Sunday morning to complete the
escape.
The plan was, the girls told Mr..
Swami, for Walters and the prisoners
with him on the fifth tier of the prison
to saw away the bars, overpower the
keeper and escape in the automobiles.
District Attorney Swami sent the
Berry girl in the company of detectives
to find the gang leader, who the girls
knew as Richie, and who they said had
given them the saws and had agreed to
provide the automobiles.
Walters was indicted for fatally
shooting Leo Rubin, grocer, in his
store at 312 East Seventeen Street, on
March 30, after robbing him. He told
the court he needed money to take
his sweetheart to moving pictures
theatres.

Lewis Nixon, Public Service Commits
sioner, in defending the action brought
by the Brooklyn Union Gas Company
to have the 8O-cent gas law declared
unconstitutional, says that he is with
out knowledge as to the high cost OF
manufacturing gas during the year
1918, credited with reducing the COM
pany's net income to PA per cent on its
stment.
Commiss oner Nixon says the cost in
1918 was abnormally high owing to the
war. He adds that the company has
failed to extend its mains to Douglas
ton Manor, as directed by the United
States Supreme Court and for these
and other reasons Commissioner Nixon
asks that the complaint be dismissed

Sheriff Knott Says Officials of
u. S. i'm France Belong Home

Sheriff David II. Knott, speaking last
night before the Bible Glass of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, made
some observations about certain high
government officials who are spending
their time in Europe when there is
much work to be done here. Sheriff
Knott did not mention names, but he
did exempt President Wilson.
The sheriff criticised the new state
income tax, which, he said, on top OF
the Federal income tax would make
the cost of living still higher. He
suggested that the government dis
tribute in this country the millions
of pounds of provisions it has in stor-
age, instead of sending them abroad.

Jockey IL. McAtee. the only rider to
pilot two winning mounts during the
day, had only to sit still on Cinderella
to win as he pleased. A few seconds
after the break it was a case of the
rider having to fall out of the saddle
to lose. This handsome daughter of
Celt, which won her first start at five
furlongs the second day Of the ia
maica meeting for Jockey Fairbrother
in a common canter disposed of yester-
days classier field with quite the same
ridiculous ease.
Cinderella, which had the extreme
outside position in a filed of seven,
was the last to break on a somewhat
straggly start. Once called upon, how
ever, it did not take her long to get
up with the pacemakers. After half
dozen bounds it was seen that the Coe
fllly had all the early speed, and the
run to the first turn for the rail posi-
tion was simply formality.
Challengers Drop Back
Around the bend Cinderella drew
away just as she pleased. At the end
of the quarter she was four or five
Royal Duck and George Lofts On
Watch, which were fighting it out like
a well-matched team. McAtee con-
tinued to increase his lead until he saw
Royal Duck and On Watch both tire
from their duel and drop back.
A sixteenth from home Cinderella
had the race sewed up by half dozen
lengths. McAtee eased his mount then
finished in a canter and still the win
ner covered the distance in 1:06 2-5.
Cinderella's fine performance in the
matter of time alone was forcibly illus
trated in the very next race at the same
distance, which Ting-a-Ling, the favor
ite, won from Our Nephew in 1:O7 2-5
Ting a. Ling, which ran a slashing race
was ridden out to save the day in time.
Tinga-L Ling, by the way, seems back
to form after layoff Of nearly two
years and should account for many
good race before October's cleaning.
Racing Notes
There were two added starters in the
Colorado, st. Allan and st. German,
but they might just as well have been
left in the stable.
The Brighton Stables entry in the
last race had all the bad luck. Heyday,
the better runner of the pair, turned a
back somersault with Metcalf at the
post, bruising the boy bit and knock
ing all the running out of himself.
Then Fair Colleen was carried away
wide at the stretch turn by End Man,
and lost four or five lengths at the
psychological spot.
R. r. Wilson, jr.'s Old Gold, the
warmest tip of the afternoon and one
heavily played by the wise ones, won
the final sprint. Old Gold was away
running from the barrier.
E. T. Sullivan, who brought Les
Darcy to this country, saddled the win
ner of the first race. This was Masda
which raced the odds on favorte
