Word received yesterday that Vincent
Richards had been beaten by Lawrence
B. Rice of Newton Center Mass, in the
final of the Bermuda tennis champion
ship last week did not surprise local ten
mis- circles. The only surprising point,
considering the fact that the Yonkers
youth only recently recovered from
months serious illness, is that Richards
was able to reach the final round. One
must conclude that he was fortunate to
have been drawn in the easier half and
that his skill more than atoned for his
lack of condition.
Richards lost a good deal of weight
during his illness, which at one time
threatened to develop into pneumonia
and il was only a few days before he
sailed for Bermuda on March that he
was pronounced sufficiently well to get
out of bed. A long rest from competi-
ton was the natural thing to expect,
but it Is pretty difficult to keepSRichards
away from a tennis court, and he de-
cided on a trip to Bermuda. declaring
that he would play If he felt sufficiently
strong when he arrived.
The score OF the final really tells the
story of Richards condition He won
the first set easily enough at 6-3, but
then his strength apparently failed him.
for he dropped the next three at 6-3,
Sc, 6-2. There is no intention of
creating the impression, however, that
Rice is no match for Richards under
ordinary circumstances. On the con-
trary the Longwood player, who adj
vanced from thirty-seventh to ninth
place in national tennis ranking last
year. is regarded as one of the most
formidable tournament players on the
court to-day.

Has been Coming Fast.

1t will be remembered that following
the national championships last fall Rice
defeated William L. Tilden in the Rhode
Island State clay court championship
and that he gave r. Norris Williams
a hard fight earlier in the season. As
they played last year. however Rich
ards would be natural favorite in a
match with Rice and his more or less
decisive defeat last week proves pretty
clearly that he is far from being at his
best right now.
Richards is expected to compete in
the national indoor championship which
opens week from Saturday on the
courts of the Seventh Regiment Armory
in this city. He il one OF five who hold
legs on the championship trophy, the
others being r, Lindley Murray, S.

the present title holder and voshell is

Reduction in Buying Power
There is really no use to fool our
selves by going around talking optim-
istically when in every way that we
turn we see something that shows we
are wrong. Yet we either refuse to
see or believe it.
You cannot climb a ladder by stand
ing at the top. You've got TO start at
the bottom.
To have buying power, workers
have got to have money with which to
buy.
Wages have been reduced IS to IS
per cent, but there has not been
proportionate decrease in living costs.
The average working man after pay
ing high or excessive rent and grocery
bills, has no money left. In the first
place rents are unquestionably too
high, which OF course is due to ex-
cessive taxes.
Lower taxes and lower rents will
mean eventually the return of buying
power. Workers will buy, then the
retail merchants and jobbers.
All OF us lack that spirit of cohesion,
but if we pull together instead of con-
at various places talking op-
and refusing to sec the
other fellows troubles we will accom-
plish something.
Give the worker a chance. By so
doing you will create buying power.
1t is believed that the month OF Sep
TENDER will far exceed expectations
and that local merchants will begin to
realize that business has taken a
change for the better, a condition that
has been looked for for the past two
% years.
