Set Victory Over Voshell

of New York and Samuel Hardy. also
of Gotham and former Californian,
6-3. 3-6. 6-4, 12-10.
Hardy and Voshell made better
showing than was expected. Their
uncertain teamwork, however, was
costly in the close games. Tilden using
fast passing shots through the CEN
ter of their court for needed points.
Hardy weakened on his service to-
ward the end after a desperate duel
with Tilden and his double faults
helped give the title into the holding
of the Philadelphian and Richards
for another year.
Tilden in winning the tile from
Richards in the morning. 1O-S, 6-3,
6-1, was superior in s-TVice. volley-
ing and general accuracy. Richards
was never able to hold the service of
his opponent when the No. player
of the national ranking list let him
self out. Tildens attack on Richards
backhand and ability to force him to
play half volleys. which the young
star did poorly. made it possible for
Tilden to come through easily in the
second and third sets.

FORGED NOTES TAKEN UP BY
 GOVERNMENT

VIENNA, June 30 (by Associated Press) With the rapid issue of new currency, the country is recovering from the panic that followed the dis covery that enormous amounts of ,00O and 10000 crown notes were in cir culation with forged overstamps.
 As there is no note between the de nomination of 100 and 1000 or be- tween 1000 and 10,000 business be- came completely paralyzed when the forgeries were discovered. No one would accept the large notes. The hotels and banks in taking them from clients took the number of the note and entered it against the giver's name. The 50 and 100 crown notes soon gave out and business was done with tens and twenties. The govern ment redeemed the forgeries around seventy.
 About 6,OOO,0OO,OOO crowns of new and 10000 crown notes will be issued to retire the old ones.

MEXICO ROADS DESTROYED BY
 WARS STRIFE

MEXICO CITY, June 30 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Twisted rails, decay ed crossties and worn-out rolling stock-products of decade of revol- ution-militate against the efficiency of Mexicos railroads. No greater problem of reconstruction faces the country than the rehabilitation of her railway lines.
 The average speed of a Mexican passenger train is 30 miles an hour From Juarez to Mexico, distance of 1,235 miles, one has to 45 hours, run ming time, exclusive of lengthy stops at Chihuahua City and Torreon. The shorter trip to Mexico City from Nuevo Laredo, opposite Laredo, Tex, requires ten hours less.
 Bandits in all parts of the country have wrought havoc with the nations railway system. Even today one can see ruins of trains that were burned down by outlaws years ago. The roadbed likewise have suffered. De- railments are frequent, being due to the improper repairing of tracks damaged by mauraders.
