Tilden was forcer into error making by the audacity of some of Shimidzu's plays. Speed afoot, reach, variety of stroke and attack were all with Tilden, however, and in the end his advantage became pronounced. Although the Ja panese star lost the first two sets his play was but few point below that of Tilden. In the third he tired while the champion rose to still greater heights of play and fairly crushed his opponent, piling up earned points that gave him a wide margin while Shimid- gus errors increased as Tilden i'm proved.
 In the other more important matches of the day, J. O. Anderson defeated his team mate on the Australian Davis Cup team, John B. Hawkes., R. Nor ris Williams 2nd. of Boston, former champion. eliminated the Brooklyn vet eran, s. Howard Voshell, Willis Davis of San Francisco won from Philip Neer, of Portland, Oregon, in a four set match, and F. Gordon Lowe, of

Chicago, Sept 13.-Argentine dro,,ro aS aavlces together with some revival of export business in this country led to q material upturn today in the price U of @ wheat The market closed firm o1L to 3 F cents net higher with Decerbar 799 @ to 1924 and May 136% to 137 Torn fD ished unchanged to 4 o B higher; oats up 4 to 5 o $, and provisions vary ing from 25 cents decline to 50 cenfs gain. cellIS

yesterday and today by Doctors George E. Brewer and Malcolm Goodridge. They stater that Mile Lenglen was in no condition to play tennis and that it would be unwise for her to attempt it. Dr. Goodri1ge declared she would not be physically fit to play tennis for two or three months.
 The American committee for devas- tated France, in an official statement expressing regret that Mile Lenglen had been compelled through illness to abandon her tour and extending it's sympathy that the famous French player, despite the doctors advice. was anxious to fulfill her enga cement after a brief rest. Representative of the committee informed her that while they appreciated her generous offer they could not accept such responsi- bllity in matter which vitally con- cernS her health.
 Mile Lenglen said:
 T am greatly depressed by the de- velopment today. I regret especially that the United States Lawn Tennis Association and the American com mittee for Devastated France have been put to such inconvenience. In view of the splendid work which the committee is doing to help the suf- fering people of the formerly occupied regions of France, it is most lamenta ble that my visit to America will no bring the financial aid we had all hop. ed. l wish to express my sincere thank. to all those who have been so kim i to me in America"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET GAINED STRENGTH

New York. Sept. 13.-The stock mar ket was hesitant at the outset of today's less expensive dealing, but by noon and for tho remainder of the session a firm 10 strong undertone prevailed, despite oc- cas!onaI bearlsh activities.
 Relaxed conditions in the money mar ket and subs dence Of the recent disquiet- Ing fluctuations in grain and cotton probably contributed to the better feeling n speculative circles. German exchange rallied slightly, but most other foreign remittances. were inclined to react.
 Initial dealings seemed to be influenced by further cuts in wages of steel operat- ors, reports of curtailed production in the New England textile industry and passing of the United Drug dividend. The latter made a new low record, but this was more than retrieved later.
 Financial interests seemed hopeful of favorable action by the senate on the railroad financing bill and the vast over subscription to the new $500 900 900 treasury notes was cited as additional proof of sound investment situation.
 Over half, of the days trading was limited to established favorites, notably the Mexican oils, General Asphalt, Bald win and American Locomotives, Cruicible and United States Steels and Studebaker Rails were apathetic until the final hour when news of the regular dividend or Great Northern strengthened most invest. ment transportations and extended tc popular junior rails. Gross gains of 10 points suffered slight impairment al the active finish. Sales amounted tc 535 oO0 shares
 Call loans opened at 1-2 per cent. or the exchange but dropped to per cent
 
 inSs were being freely made on d l. per cent. basis. Time money was nor plentiful and merchants paper was il better demand

Sporting Editor, Norwich Bulletin.

Sporting Editor,
 Norwich Bulletin.
 If possible try and find space in your valuable columns for the following re- ply to Mgr. Benoit's uncalled for yer sion of the Ashand-Taftville series.
 1 assume the responsibility for the write up of the game, and in compiling the same. my object was to give the fans the correct dope on the game which was played Sunday. Realizing that the Bulletin reaches many who were inter ested but who for various reasons were unable to ge present, I gave a very fair story of the game. I was not looking for sympathy, nor in a true sense of the word did 1 offer an alibi.
 True it was a bitter pill to swallow for Ashland and myself but I personally have been in the game too long to per init the pill to finger. I look on the bright side of things and hope to wash it down with something even more rel ishing than a win over Taftville.
 do not wish to berate or underrats the Taftville ball club, but even though they beat us two straight they certa inly did not show any superiority over Ash land in any department of the game.
 Mgr. Benoit would have me give cred it where it is due. That Is just the req son why I stated that Taylor had the edge over Morin in the pitching The number of hits accredited to each club would not indicate the real difference in the hitting of the two clubs. but Ash. land sure did hit the ball hard through. out the game and tnhe Taftville out. fielders tongues were hanging out from chasing long drives from the home clubs sticks
 As, to the correctness of the score tab. ulations, the home scorer was no doubt as near correct as the visiting one. l The amusing part of the umpiring a: Benoit calls. was his exalted self trod. ding a beaten path from the first has, coacher's box to home plate in his cno sistent objections to the unnire'E 1nd1-

CHAPTER XIV.
A Letter and a PROPOSAL,

The Moreland Coal cOmpanys two
big rough buildings were completed
in record time. There had been no
further manifestations OF interference
from the Balls and TOrreys, and Hen
derson Golf had been nowhere in evil
dence since the night Of Bill Dale's
irOnclad verbal ultimatum. Work on
the little railroad was progressing like
wildfire, and everybody was in high
spirits.
By Heck had just arrived with the
mail He stalked with an air of great
Importance into Dales office, and
threw the mail down on the new roll
top desk then he stepped backward,
dropped into straight-back chair and
began to nurse his rifle tenderly on
his knees. There was puzzled look
on his leathery face. Dale had re-
ceiYed half a dozen letters, and BY
Heck was at loss to figure out the
why of such an overwhelming amount
of mail.
Dale finished his figuring, leaned
back in his swivel chair and took up
a letter that seemed altogether too
bulky for business letter. More
over, its address was in pencil, and
somewhat scrawled, though a chirog-
raphy expert would have said that
the handwriting showed strength of
character.
II wonder who 1t is," Dale muttered.

if old Ball accepted.

IL Oiu DIAL dCCcptCu.
But Judge Ball didn't accept. Doubt
less he remembered his son Adams
fight with Dale.
'The' CANT be no fightin' in COTE"
he said. "You sh'll hang by the neck
Ontel dead, at sunrise in the mornin'."
There was humble of approval
from the others. Doubtless they, too
remembered that the young man whom
Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer
Goliath, with his bare hands. They
did not have the one good trait that
Dale had hoped they possessed; while
they must have admired him for his
courage, they were afraid to fight him
without weapons. Dale recalled the
fact that the Balls were not originally
hillfolk, but lowlanders who had taken
to the mountains In order to avoid
being forced to fight during the Civil
war, a people without principle.
The Cherokee Torreys, of course, were
even worse.
kitty, kitty, kitty!" Walt Turner
called tauntingly again. "He walked
into the trap like a pore little kitty !"
A plowline of half-inch cotton rope
was produced, and the condemned
man was securely bound, standing on
his feet and facing outward, to the
big walnut. Desperate as was his
case, Dale couldn't help being trifie
amused at that part of it. 1t was
