S. NJ. STELLWAGEN
DC. NET CHAMPION
Defeats J. T. Graves, Jr., in
Straight Sets, But Point
Score Is Close.
BY W. II. HOTEL.

\ newcomer to Washington is the
District tennis champion for 1919.
Seiford NJ. Stellwagen. former Uni
versity of Minnesota player, defeated
John Temple Graves, Jr.. of the host
organization for the honor on the
Dumbarton Club courts yesterday aft
ernoon. StellWagen during the Sub
urban League season played for the
Argyle club Of that organization. and
good.y number of rooters from that
circuit were on hand to cheer him
to victory.
Stellwagen won in straight sets.
6-4 6-4. 6-3, and. although his
game was the steadier and more
versatile. the score does not indicate
how hard fought the match really
was. Stellwagen had margin of a
total of only five points in the first
two sets, the figures being 30 to 81
and Sc to 80, respectively His mar
gin was much greater in the de-
Gliding set. the count being 81 to 26.
Graves led only three times during
the match, at 10 and 3-2 in the
second set. and at 10 in the third
set. StellWagen appearing able 10 go
in and win games whenever he need
ed them and apparently at no time
playing as strong tennis as he is
capable of. He played with greater
ease than Graves and was equally
as good on his backhand as on his
forehand. while his opponent maneu-
vered to favor his right, had more
on his service, had the edge in back
court pay or at the net. and last, but
not least was consistently steady,
while the loser mixed brilliant and
erratic playing. The point score:
An example of Stellwagen's SUI
periority in the pinches was shown
i'm the deuce games, there being ten
in the total of twenty-eight that 1t
took to decide the issue. Stellwagen
won seven of these. and it was his
ability to score in such tight spots
that gave him the first two sets.
Stellwagen's victory gave him GUS
tody of The Evening Star cup, which
must be won three times for posses
sion, and of a trophy presented by
the Dumbarton Club.
Only one of the doubles semi-fnals
was played on account of Stellwagen
being a survivor in the others. Jack
Dudley and Howard Hixson defeated
Cecil Dowd and Owen Howenstein in
the upper half. Ga. IS. in match
marked by erratic tennis; some ex-
playing being mixed in with
much that was mediocre. Stellwagen
and John Ballinger will play Howard
Cissel and Harold Selden in the lower
half this afternoon at o'clock and
the final will be payed tomorrow.

BAN JOHNSON'S HEARING.
GOES OVER ONCE MORE.
Little Progress Made in Mays Case
in Preliminary Examination of
American League Head.

NEW YORK, September 5.-Ban
Johnson. president of the American
League, went through a stiff two-hour
examination before George ]. Giles
pie, referee, yesterday, in the action
brought by Col. Jacob Rupert and
Col. T. L. Huston, owners of the New
York Yank ees, to ascertain the league
leaders motives in suspending Carl
Mays, the pitcher, after the Yankees
secured him, and his interest in the
Cleveland base ball club. Mr.. John
son answered q lot of questions, but
there was SO much wrangling by the
lawyers and 80 many more questions
still to be asked that Mr.. Gillespie
adjourned the examination until next
Thursday. after the Cleveland and
Mays incidents had only been lightly
dealt with.
The question of Johnson's treatment
of H. H. Frazee, owner of the Bos-
ton Red Sox, didn't come up at all
and will probably form the major part
of the story to be told next week.
Johnson admitted. in the course of
the examination. possessing SIS, 500 of
the stock Of the Cleveland club. He
said he originally had subscribed for
100000 worth to help the organiza-
tion in it's financial difficulties, and
that James c. Dunn took up $50, 900
of this amount later. He contended
that he is holding the second $50. 900
as security for his money advanced,
but admitted that he had bought
$500 in treasury stock since, that he
had paid an assessment on his hold
ings, and that he had attended stock
holders meetings of the club, but
couldn't remember whether he ever
voted.

sensational school into errors. The
1915 champion, in other words, is
able to call upon his most effective
game whenever he needs it most, as
he proved this season in winning the
national clay court title. in defending
the LongWood cup successfully, and
again yesterday in his wonderful dis
play against Tilden. The latter. how
ever. employs such huge repertoire
of strokes that he can never be alb
solutely sure that they will all be at
his command, and when something
goes wrong or he finds himself facing
unexpected opposition he has no sim

ENLARGE POWER PLANT
Connecticut River Power Co. to
Build Million Dollar Addition to
Vernon Plant

Operations have been begun at the
Vernon power plant of the Connectl-
cut River Power Co. on an enlarge
ment of the plant and the installa-
ton of the electrical units which will
increase the capacity of the plant so
per cent.
The company's power house will
extend westward on the Vermont
side, 10 feet, and the work will be
carried forward as rapidly as pos
sible, the plan being to complete the
installation in the next few months.
Approximately $1,000,000 will be
spent in this new development, and
the enterprise will be financed by the
Power Construction Co. of Worces-
ter, Mass, subsidiary of the Con-
necticut River Power Co. The Power
Construction Co. financed the devel-
opment on the Deerfield river.
The present capacity of the Vernon
plant is 10000 kilowatts continuously,
and the additional units will increase
the capacity by 10000 kilowats. This
does not mean, however, that the cleo
trical output of the plant will be in
creased so per cent as there is not
a sufficient flow of water in the Con-
necticut river to operate the plant at
such a capacity.
Practically ever since the plant was
built, however, it has been realized
that the original installation was too
small, and thes flow of the river is
sufficient to develop considerably
more power than can be supplied now.
Moreover, the entire development is
sold and more could be disposed of.
1t is the plan to put in two new
units of 5000 kilowatts capacity each,
which is twice the capacity of each
of the present units, of which there
are eight. In low water periods the
new units will be used in place of
some of the old ones, and in periods
of excess water flow the new units
will be operated in addition to the
old ones.
The new units, which already have
been bought, are known as single run
ner units, that is, each unit requires
one water-wheel to operate the shaft.
The old units are three-runner units,
each requiring three water-wheels to
operate the shaft, the wheels being
set one above another.
1t is the intention of the company
to put in new units within a short
time to replace all the old ones, which
are becoming antiquated and are not
as efficient as those of modern manu-
facture.
Robert Doring, who has been with
the company for some time, is the {
superintendent of construction, and {
he is making Brattleboro his head
quarters. He plans to employ from
$50 to IT'S men for the next several !
months besides large number of |
teams, and Brattleboro men and
teams will be given an opportunity to !
help on the job. The number may be
increased to 200.
1t will be necessary to erect a
boarding house and to build a camp
for the occupancy of the employees.

Meets at Newport

On May 18th the 23d annual meet
ing of the Woman's Foreign Mission
airy society of the st. Johnsbury dis
trict was held in the Methodist.
Episcopal church of Newport, VT.
The absence of several Of the district
officers rendered it impossible to fol-
low the program exactly, that for the
afternoon being carried out informal
ly. We were favored by the pres
ence of Miss Dorothy Richard, who
has worked in Chile for some years
and who took helpful part in this
meeting. Delegates from various aux
iliaries made some very good sug-
gestions of the subjects presented.
Mrs. Coontz led discussion on the
topic, "The Best Plan for Interesting
Young People" Mrs. Wells of Crafts
bury spoke earnestly in behalf of
work with the children. Mrs. Moore
had some good things in answer to
the question, "Can We Improve Our
Auxiliary Meetings? If SO, How?'
The children enjoyed Miss Golfers
story hour.
The District officers elected were
President, Mrs. G. Leon Wells, Rich
ford; vice pres, Mrs. G.. A. Martin,
st. Johnsbury; recording secretary,
Mrs. Fred Barnes, Richford; treas
urer, Mrs. M. A. Turner, Barton
supt Young Peopl's Work, Mrs H.
T. Coontz, Newport; supt. of litera-
ture Mrs. Glen Douglas, Lunenburg;
sec. or tithing, Mrs. Ellen Staples

All who awaited themselves of the
privilege of attending the evening
meeting greatly appreciate Miss
Clara Golfers address. She has
worked in China for % years and her
graphic description of the journey UP
the Yangtze river to her present sta
ton at Chengtu, and of the work be-
ing done there for people of all ages
was most interesting.
The fine weather, the pleasant town
beside the lake, the kind hospitality
offered the delegates, all made this q
meeting to be remembered with much
pleasure.
