 One of his finds" was Wilbur Cooper of the Pittsburg Nationals. Cooper was Harding's favorite with the Marion team. MT. Harding made a trip to Cleveland to urge the own CT of the Cleveland club to obtain Coopers services.
 The Cincinnati Nationals were his favorites and he frequently found time to attend their home games.

 After his election to the Presi- dency he said he would root for the Washington Americans. He reserved the right, however, to root for the Cincinnati Nationals in case of world series.

 The match. which was bitterly contested until Williams went to pieces in the last set, told visibly on both players. Johnston, though he kept his power to the end, was all most completely worn out. When he weighed in at the start of the match the scales showed 116 pounds. In the intermission after the third set he weighed only III.
 The intense heat seemed too much for the champion at the start of the match. The set developed into service duel and went to six all, when Johnston donned his Vim bledon hat and took the set.
 Williams took the next by forcing the rallies and by brllIlancy Tn vary ing his length. Johnston won the third after a tremendous show Of cross-court work, and the fourth was all his from the start.
