Sacri6cial Offering for Zion Educational
Institutions

Nov we are going to take up the sacri-
flcial offering for the maintenance of Zion
Schools Zion Educational Institutions will
open in September, to begin their fourth
year. We have now graduated three classes
from the Preparatory Department
1--WE have the greater part of 1000 stu
dents enrolled. Zion Schools are supported
by freewill offerings All children are ad-
mitted on an equal basis; the children of
the poor have the same chance as those of
the well-to-do.
In the Department of Music we have
considerably over 700 students enrolled, and
they have wonderful opportunities there
for the development of their talents. This
is as it ought to be, and I wish I could ex-
tend this system to all departments of Zion.
Nov it takes a good part of $4,000 a
year to run these schools, and they are
worth it. If you pass around this barrel
and drop in SO cents or a dollar, and that
is all you can afford God will bless you, but
if you put in nickel when you are able
to give $1,000, you will be miserable.
Now we will have the barrel brought in
and may God abundantly bless you one and
all"

Mclaughlin Williams Tilt Recalls Famous
Battle for Championship Honors in 1914

The Wiliams-McLoughlin tilt was
sad commentary on some of the other
famous battles in which these two had
met and helped make tennis history
The last time that this pair had met was
back in 1914 In the last national cham
pionship tournament that ever was
played on the picturesque courts at the
Casino IN Newport.
That season had been a brilliant one
for Mclaughlin. The California Comet,
as he was then called, had gone through
all his tournaments without a defeat.
In the challenge round of the Davis cup
matches, also played on the grand stand
courts at Forest Hills, he had met and
vanquished the doughty Brookes, then
British champion. In n thrilling match.
He had also humbled in this interna-
tional series one of the most finished
players that ever stepped on a court. the
late Anthony F. Wildlng. then at New
port in the defence OF the championships
which he had won in 1919 and 1919
Mclaughlin had gone merrily along
without any sign Of a slip. In the other
half OF the tournament Williams, who
had been his team mate in the Davis cup
matches. came through and experienced
some little trouble on the way. IN the
Davis cup series that year Williams had
been defeated by both Brookes and
Wilding and it was on that account that
the international bowl left this country.
Met in Final Match at Newport.
When the two met in that fnal round
match there were none who felt that
sWilliams would do more than take a set.
Mclaughlin, however. in the match
showed the first signs of a slump from
which he never has recovered. Williams
beat him then in straight sets to the
establishment of tennis enthusiasts the
| world over Few could believe that any
thing more than a bit of entertaining
had stopped the great California Comet.
He appeared In play again the following
year and suffered his first setback, when
1 he was defeated at Sea Bright by Carl
| Behr. However. Mclaughlin In the
championship tournament OF 1915 went
through the mai round, where he was

uninteresting match of the afternoon
The middle States champion was far
below his usual form Neither man
played spectacular tennis Few in the
crowd bothered to watch the match, be-
cause the Brookes-Tilden match was
being played simultaneously
Hall gained n lead of 3 to 2 in the
opening set. but his erratic play lost
him this advantage. and johnson carried
on the next three games The next pair
OF games were divided on service, and
the set went to the Philadelphia at
6--4. In the fifty-four points that were
played during the set only thirteen
points were earned, and eight of these
fell to Johnson.
The second set was even less inter-
estlng' than the first, because when Hall
was not making mistakes he was pop
ping the ball back for easy kills by
johnson. The Philadelphia made only
three errors and earned ten points.
while Hall earned only three and made
thirteen errors.
In the third set Johnson soon ran up

same steady. monotonous game. Tie
only game that Hall won In the first
five went to deuce three times. The
sixth game was the only other that Hall
won in the set, and 1t also went to

only earned three points. Hall made
twenty-three errors, against fifteen for
Johnson. and the Philadelphia earned
nine points. The point score:

his youthful fellow Californian.
In 1916 Mclaughlin again appeared in
the big tourney and was eliminated ry
George NJ Church, now out OF tennis en-
tirely The following two years were
war years and Mclaughlin was in the
service. This year Mclaughlin has been
more talked Of than any player in the
game. The possibilities OF his coming
hack were discussed wherever tennis is
played. He had his real chance yester-
day and he was not the Mclaughlin Of
the old days
Not the McLoughlin of Old.
The crowded stands awaited the op-
portunity to cheer for its we'll loved
idol. but Mclaughlin gave them few
chances. Systematically he seemed to
forget that he was supposed to be a
has been" and slipped over some of
his old time smashes. McI.oughlln's
service. and this is one of the sorrow
full features OF his play, which in the
old days was his greatest attacking
stroke, proved TO be his most vulnera BILE
point. 1t had no steam and 1t had
no hop.
His drives were practically ms strong
as they ever had been. and his ground
strokes were good enough. He made
so little use of. or at least got so little
chance to use, his overhead that there
was little certainty whether or not he
still possessed good overhead game.
Furthermore, in yesterdays match Nc
Loughlin was as wild as a hawk and
seemed careless as to the outcome.
When he finally was defeated and as
he was leaving the court Mclaughlin
received the same old ovation from the
crowd, but 1t was a sort of subdued
applause, which expressed more plainly
than words can tell the fact that the
hearts OF the onlookers were still with
their red headed idol and they felt the
pangs OF being present at his downfall
There Is littlo to tell OF the match

cup series. The Boston player ran
through the opening set without the loss
Of a game.
Mclaughlin had made only ten points
and earned only one of these. Will
Jams, on the other hand, scored twenty
FIVE points and eighteen of them on Nc
foughlin's errors. williams ran his
string of games up to nine by taking
the first three games of the second set.
Strangely enough Mclaughlin won his
first game, the fourth of the second set,
by breaking through Williamss service,
and he took the game at love. He fol-
lowed this by winning on his own ser
vice through some beautiful playing that
was reminiscent of the old time Nc
Loughiin. The next two games were
divided on service and the crowd was
free with its applause in the fact that
Mclaughlin had brought the points UP
to to 4. Williams, however, came
back strong and took the next two
games, which gave him the set at 6-3.
III Errors by McLoughlin.
In this set Mclaughlin earned seven
points and williams earned only one
more. Tho Californian, however. made
twenty-one errors, against sixteen for
the Boston player.
In the third set Mclaughlin held his
old rival even for the first four games
each winning on service. In the fourth
game of this set the ertswhile Comet
displayed some of his old time fight
ing qualities oy coming up from love
40 to win the game. 1t was his last
stand, however. for Williams came bacl,
strong and won the next four games,
which gave him the set at Go.
He led on the points at SO to 90 Nc.
Loughlin made twenty-one errors and
earned only seven points while Will
Jams slipped up only twelve times and
made dozen points through his own
earning.
