InASHbjJRu AND WILLIAMS WIN
 AT L.0NClEAa'00[)

Boston, July 29-R. Norris Will jams 2d and Watson M. Washburn won the doubles on the turf of the Longwood Cricket club yesterday. The former Harvard pair, playing up to their best form, defea ted Charles S Garland and Craig BiddIe for the New England doubles championship Tn straight sets. The score was more one-sided than had been expected, as 1t was tailed at 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.
 At all stages Williams end Wash burn played well within their powers. They were never etended, and it was only when they wished to show their pace or to experiment with cross court volleys that they rose to flights of brilliancy. in the opening set the former Harvard stars ran to a lead of 4-0 on games before they dropped the only game of the set to Garland end Biddle
 As the battle progressed it was evi- dent that Riddle was the unsteady performer on his side of the net. Williams and Washburn at once di- rected their attack at him profting largely by their skill at placement when they had drawn him out of po- sition. By the hardest sort of play ing in the rallies the best that Gar land and Riddle cot Id do was to hold the games to 2-a1l in the second set.
 After that they failed to gauge speed and left openings for the pass ing shots that their opponents sent through their court. Garland and Bid1Ie gained a lead of 2-1 on games In the third set only to have Williams and Washburn outplay Ithem for five games in 9 row. The winners by their victory qualified for the national championship tourna- ment or the same courts next month.

Thomas T.. Wilson Attacks Federal
Trndcs Report on Refrigerator Cars.
Chicago. Aug. 2s.-Attacking the
federal trade commissions report on
private car lines as beir "diametri-
cally opposed to that of the interstate
commerce commission" Thomas E.
Wilson. president of Wilson & Com
pany. and also head of the Institute
Of American Packers, today issued the
following statement;
The packers are willing to submit
the justice OF the federal trade COM
missions report to the common sense
Of the American public. There are
admittedly too few refrigerator cars.
Greater mileage of packer cars was
possible because a load was waiting
for every car 365 days in the year.
Spread the use of the packer
owned cars among shippers over the
entire country and the mileage will be
reduced with a consequent increase in
the cost OF meat foods. or necessary
reduction in live animal prices"
Wilson said the trade commissions
report was made after investigation by
inexperienced men, while that of the
interstate commerce commission was
handled by experienced investigators
who spent six years on the job.
