APPLAUSE STARTS RUNAWAY.
Ice Cream Truck Horses Bolt at
PershinE Celebration.

Gen. Pershing's first spoken words in
the Sheep Meadow at Central Park yes
to-day stirred up such thunderclap OF
applause that two mild horses attached
10 an ice cream wagon came out of their
Indian summer dream and bolted. Ac-
customed to the usual racket OF the city
they never had heard a sound quite like
that. They tore along the West drive
with scant room for their wild canter-
ing among the motor cars and spectators
lining the roadway. but the incident in
no way interrupted the celebration. The
ice cream truck smoked of a mudguard
from a car owned by Samuel Quint OF
COL West 18th street while Mr.. CUNTS
chauffeur, trying TO dodge the runaways,
was pushing up over the sidewalk.
At Seventy-fisst street and Central
Park West Patrolman Curry leaped to
the bride of the nearest horse. He
hung on until the team stopped and was
not hurt. The truck was owned by the
Horton lice Cream Company and was
making a delivery to a booth on the
field.

Clouds May Blow Away

wander away from the city by

at least, the clouds have done.
They have smothered the heat

manded greater army than America
had ever before raised through the great

In history. He has borne the sword of
the republic in a terrible fight for the
principles by which she lives, principles
on which her President framed the policy

mo wonder that his fellow citizens
see in this man who marshaled- over
100000 OF their sons upon the soil
of France, the man OF St Mihiel and of
Sedan, symbol of their country's new
greatness among nations.
1T will be just a year on Friday
since the first American army under his
advance which ended by cutting the Ger
man supply line four days before the
armistice. OF the reputation which he
and his troops won upon the battle
field and of the services they rendered
in the common cause we need not now
speak. They are engraved upon the
hearts of those who share their lam
guage and their blood. We join with all
our souls in the tribute which America
pays to her great soldier, and, in him, to
the splendid troops he led.
I'VE are proud to have fought beside
such men and we see in the strong tie
which war has woven between US and
them, and which peace will consecrate,
the main bulwark for the future peace Of

TILDEN TO ENGAGE
JOHNSTON TODAY

CHICAGO. Ill. July 1s.-william
NJ Johnston. 1917 national champion.
and william T. Tilden 2nd, of Phila-
ldelphia, runner-up for the national
title event last year and 1918 clay
court titleholder. meet today in the
ultimate round Of the national clay
court championship singles match
here.
Johnston is grooming himself for
the national singles tournament this
year. He has shown flashes of his
past form in the tournament here
and earlier at Cincinnati. Tilden is
/ thought to have an excellent chance
to repeat his win Of last season.
The fact that Johnston was car
ried so far in his match with Hayes
yesterday. and that he was forced
to play hard tennis with Hardy to
win out in doubles, is thought to be
a factor against him in today's play.
Johnston had a hard time defeat
ing Walter Hayes, the Chicago vet
eran- Hayes play was spectacular.
and he forced Johnston to the limit
before he succumbed at 60. 60,
10, So and "a. Robert Kinsey,

perate stand against Tilden. but lost
