The great bulk of the coal, gasoline,

come in during the eight months when
there will be direct service. 1t is like
wise true that a great portion of the
freight goes out in the open season, and
If the boat line is established the rail
road will supply adequate storage IA
cilitics so that all necessary products
can be brought in during the open sea-
son and stored for use during the WIN
ter.
If the boat plan is carried out it means
the saving of the maintenance and up
keep of 10 miles of track mt an annual
cost of about $4,000. 1t also means IA
very material saving in operating eN-
penses because of the shorter rail haul !;
and it is my belief that the savings thus
effected will enable the railroad to pay
its full operating expenses and thus
give to Wilmington an assurance OF CON

road continues to run to Wilmington.

.IILDEN AND JOHNS SION SUCCESSFULLY
 DEFEND DAVIS CUP AGAINST ANzOES

Forest Kills, Sept. 5-A valiant ef- fort to take the Davis cup interna- tional team tennis trophy to Austral- ia failed today on the turf courts of the West Side club.
 Gerald T.. Patterson, ace of the An- tipodean challengers, met and lost q stirring tiree-set match to William M. Johnston, of San Francisco, 6-e.s 6-2, 6-1. and the cup was Americas for another year at ieasts
 When Patterson walked on the. courts with Johnston, the burden: of. 1 Australia's hopes rested upon his. 1 shoulders. He and his team mate T. l O.; Anderson had been defeated in the singles matches last Friday by Will ] liam T. Tildens and Johnston. Then on l Saturday, Patterson paired with Pat l O'Hara Wood, won the doubles en counter in straight sets from Tilden and Richards.
 | Patterson was brilliant today but his opponent, steady, accurate was I lseven more so. Johnstonss steadiness carried him through most of the1ral- | lies and his .disconcerting change of
 pace kept Patterson continually on | the run.
 F. Patterson had his back hand work \ ing better today than against Tilden on Friday. Johnston soon learned this and drew Patterson into a deep court 1 game Johnston's drives were deeper. He went to the net but few times. Tn the second match today Ander : son gave TiIden close brush in five I1sets. The scores were s-4, 5-7, ;S-6, e-4,
 6-2 Anderson was the more brill liant of the two but his strength ebb- I ed after the third set and Tilden's
 stamina carried, him through. Ander-
 son displayed the sort of game. that
 his team. mate, O'Hara Wood used. in
 the doubles match Saturday. He drove
 to the side lines through Tsldeil' s
 feet and across court for placements that ended many of the long rallies
 So many of the Australians drives
 came so fast that Tilden made no at
 tempt to return them. ! Patterson, captain of the Austral- !, ian team, in speech to the coiorfn
 gallery said: T want to thank you for the great, spirit of sportsmansfir
 you have shown. It has been tla<
 same everywhere, in the United ,t.;tc: .I that, we have been. I may be cTiti.
