Lee Allen Brookes and Ray Lange, winners of the doubles championship in the cotton states tennis tourna- ment. are left to fight 1t out for the singles title today as a result of yes terday's semt-finals matches.
 Both Brookes and Lange have played superIative tennis throughout the tournament. and each has won his match in the singles by hard, clean, aggressive play and not by fluke or breaks of the game.
 Rush Hess forced Lee Allen Brookes almost to the limit before the latter finally won out. The scores--6-3. 6-i, e-4-tep how hard fought the match was Brookes' speed and hard play won the firE set, while in the second Hess defense i slowed up a bit. The third and final set was the hardest fought of the day Brookes winning, 6-4, after his l opponent had bitterly contested each and every game. 1 Brookes played his usual speedy, i slashing game and many spectators l who witnessed yesterdays match and 1 who have been keeping up with May l throughout the tournament are pick ing him to win the tournament
 Ray Lsnge had an easier time win ming than Brookes did, eliminating J. w. Mcconnell, 6-2, 6-2 61, How ever he was not paired with as classy an opponent as was Brookes
 Lange, while he had no soft snap was not forced tos win from McCon- nell
 Brookes and Lange will meet al the Country club for the champion ship this afternoon, The match be- tween these two should be a wonder ful affair, as each is brilliant player, both on offense and defense

 The jinx which has lowered over the Birmingham camp all summer, seems in no way inclined to pick on somebody else Pie Traynor is the latest victim. Pie while buclsing the heat waves upon the recent trip to Mobile and New Orleans, absorbed more than his share of the malarial germs. which are said to thrive In those regions. Now, he Is in there playing ball, when he real ly should be resting, Pie. accord ing to all accounts, is as yellow as head of cheese, but it's solely due to complexion dis turoance from malaria He has never been accused of being yellow, otherwise.
 Dutch Bernsen and Tommy Taylor have returned to the line up. But Dutch got back with limp, and Tommy with s eau ton not to wound his injured hand again. Naturally, these two warriors cant give their best efforts, while playing the game so carefully. Thus. the Barons are still crippled on the Chatta- nooga and Atlanta invasions.

 Willard has big stock farm in Kansas, and as a tip or so for his training routine, I might sug sest that he pick out the biggest bull on the farm, and unprotect- ed, wave red flag in said bulls face. When he is able to stand the charging of the bull into his unprotected body, he will be ripe to make himself target for Jacks terrific body blows again a As q training don't" I would advise him not to go near Man hasset L. l., in seeking out his training camp.

Joe MhIte ImprovInE

 Word comes from Mont gomery that Joe White, the Tuscaloosa giant, is steadily improving in his fistic skill and his handler still believes that in time he will be listed among the topnotchers of the heavyweights. Joe's idea n the beginning. before he ever had pair of boxing gloves on his hamlike hands. was that he coGld train and gain ring gen eralship enough to whip Jack Dempsey Whether this idea still exists. l don't know But before Joe talks about assignments like that he must hammer his way through the third-raters; then conquer the second -raters, and after that if he's still going good, there are any number of aspirants he would have to put to sleep, if he's to get a crack at Dempsey.

Liberty Bonds At Par

plan has been devised by Col W. NJ. Thompson of the
credits board Washington for restoring liberty bonds
to par and keeping them there by varying the rate of
interest paid to agree with the coneporaneous earning
power of money similarly invested
In brief the only that liberty bonds selling
below because the interest rate below the market
interest rate Money in similar investments will earn more
to the investor than paid by liberty bonds hence liberty
bonds discounted to make the interest equivalent
to that of other comparable securities to the investor
The plan proposed is to create series of United
States consolidated bonds to the total amount of say
twenty billion dollars to from 20 to SO years. which
will bear fixed rate of interest but shall state their
face that the interest to be paid for each half yearly period
shall be fixed and proclaimed for such period in advance
at the rate percent that in the opinion of the Federal
Reserve Board represents the then market earning power
of money invested without hazard The coupons shall
tain similar provisions and be paid when due in the amount
previously set, which will have been announced The
of adjusting the interest rate is to be continually
repeated during the life of the bonds keeping their market
value at par.
Banks accustomed to carry loans subject to revision
of interest rates according to the market demands for Money
and there why the treasury cannot be
trusted to remark the rate fairly for and
public as banks do for customers.
The liberty bonds would be retired exchanged for
the bond issue par for par basis when the old
bonds offered those originally subscribed for and at the
market price OF the old bonds date fixed by the
treasury when the old bonds purchased the market
bonds could also be sold at par to retire
maturing treasury certificates
The proposed plan has apparently much to commend it,
as it would eliminate speculation from government invest
ments and make them simply investment securities as the
value would be maintained by the variation in interest
rate 1t would end the scandal of liberty bonds selling
below par
