WILLS, BROWNE
 TO PLAY TODAY
Mrs. Mallory And Eleanor GOss In Other
 Semi Final

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Two former champions who held the title for more than a decade between them, will ad- vance to the courts of the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills, Long Is- land, Friday in the semi-final round of the campaign to wrest the champion ship away from Helen Wills. They are Mrs. Molla Mallory and Miss Mary Browne. Miss Wills will meet di- rect challenge from Miss Browne, who was one of the greatest players in the game a few years ago and who is still one of the best. They will face each other in the starred bout of the aft ernoon. Mrs. Mallory is to play Miss Eleanor Goss.
 These four came through the fourth round Thursday. Miss GOss had trou. pelled to play with all the resource Miss Martha Bayard, 8-6, 6-4. Miss Browne, took the first set that Miss Browne has lost in the tournament thus far. Miss Browne's winning score was GA, 6-7, GA.
 Miss Wills won in straight sets from Mrs. Marion Z. Jessup, but she fell behind in each set and was compelled to fight uphill to win.
 Mrs. Mallory had the easiest battle of the day and was not very brilliant. Her experience was altogether too much for Mrs. F. V. ROeser, who was elim- mated 6-1, 6-1.
 Miss Wills seemed to hypnotize Mrs. Jessup along toward the end of each set of their engagement and Mrs. Jes- sup's game suddenly went to pieces. Miss Wills cOolness, her apparent un- concern, were uncanny. She knew she was behind each time, knew also that the title might pass within ten min utes. Yet her facial expression did not change nor did she seem to hurry, However, she did tighten up and over whelmed the challenger as though if were the easiest thing in the world to do.

AUSTRALIANS
 DEFEAT LAPS
Patterson, Wood Given Battle
 By Shimidzu, AkamOtO

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Aug. 14.- Australia triumphed over Japan here today in the open singles matches in the final round of play in the Ameri- can zone Davis cup competition when Gerald l.. Patterson of the antipOdes defeated Zenzo Shimidzu of Japan in straight sets, 7-5, 11-9, GA, and Pat O'Hara Wood of Australia defeated Sunao OkamotO of Japan in a thrill ing five-set match, GA, PC. GA, 2-6, 6-1.
 While the Australians won, the Jap anese players showed unexpected strength against the Anzac performers. Okamoto especially proved to be stub born foe and it was not until Pat O'Hara Wood had been forced to dis play all of the tennis wizardry that has made him a feared contender did he succeed in wearing down the oriental star and winning by a margin of a single set.
 Patterson, using 3 tantalizing chop stroke almost exclusively, except when he was pushed, allowed Shimidzu to defeat himself.
 Wood found Okamoto to be a steady, driving player of his own type. For four sets Okamoto matched drive for drive with the Anzac player, but in the fifth set, Wood, like his teammate, Patterson, came into the net and smashed his way to a victory.
 In tOmorrow's doubles match, Aus tralia will depend upon the power of Patterson and Wood to turn back the Japanese team of Okamoto and Harada. On Saturday Wood will meet Shimidzu and Patterson will oppose OkamOto in the final singles matches.

Laurence Erickson for
District Court Clerk

The citizens of Hennepin County
should elect at this time a Clerk for
the District Court who will conduct
the office economically. The present
clerk and his predecessors have re-
tanned the Naturalization fees as a
personal emolument. At the request
of the Commonwealth Club of this
city the Grand Jury which adjourn
ed on Sept. 9Th was requested to in
vestigate this office. The Grand Jury
in their report to the Court request
ed the County Attorney to start a
civil action against the present clerk
and his predecessors, to determine
what moneys should be recovered
from the present clerk and his prede-
cessors, which tends to show vir-
tual acknowledgment by the Grand
Jury Of misappropriation of these
fees in the past.
According to the amendment under
Naturalization Laws, Section 13, as
amended by act of June 25th, 1910,
states that the amount of fee etc.,
is a total of $500. 1t further states:
"The Clerk of any Court collecting
such fee Is hereby authorized to re-
tain one-half of the fee collected by
him in such naturalization proceed
ings."
This must mean that the Clerk as
an official and not as an individual
should retain one-half Of the fees to
pay the expense of maintaining this
work. The Federal Law does not
state anywhere that the Clerk may
convert the fees to his own personal
use or that they may be considered as
his property.
Elect Laurence Erickson for this
office, one who will turn over all fees
into the County Treasurer. deposit
all funds to draw the highest amount
of interest and save the citizens of
this county at least $4,000 per year.
