first two games of the last set. Mooney finally checked bis runaway career and made the fourth set close for time. He was fighting for all his ex' hausted body was worth, but 1t was no use. With the count 6y3 against him, he made last gallant play for triumph on the ninth game, but Mur- ray pulled him over to one sideline with a backspin lob, then shot a slashing return to the other corner for the final point and the match.
 Lee Allen Brookes failed after win ming the first game from Simpson. He was working along smoothly and there was no great consternation when he dropped the second, 6-2. On the fourth game of the third set with the game count 2-1 against him, Brookes was leading by a love forty count when Simpson pulled him into the net on some close-in work, then smashed sizzler full at Brookes' face. The lo- cal favorite cracked into the net, al. lowed the game to be deuced and lost, and the set, as well. He was off his feed the rest of the afternoon. Only oc- casionally did he evidence his old time consistency. The score was 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-S.
 
 Brookes had previously defeated Hess in the first match of the day by the score of 6-3, 6-3. Hess made 1t Inter. esting, but he was visibly off on his forearm work, while Brookes was go- ing at cyclone speed. making his in- consistency later the more surprising.
 The two doubles matches played dur, ing the day were not greatly exciting, as the favorites came through easily enough in both cases. Bartlett and Warren, in their surprising comeback this year, met trouble against Allison and Nabers for a time, but finally subdued the youngsters. 6-3, 6-4, after far harder fight than they had ex- pected. Mooney and Simpson finished defeating Smith and McWane by exactly the same score.
 Today's play will include the sin gles final and the doubles semi-finals leaving the singles in the doubles oc- cupying the whole stage Saturday, the last day. The first match, the big bat. tie between Murray and Simpson will start at ? 80 o'clock for the singles title. The public is invited and no admission is being charged for the tournament
 Rain interfered n little with the play today, causing an intermission of 10 minutes once, but all matches went through as scheduled.

QUIET PREVAILS IN CITY WHEEL Acipco-East Lake Only Feature Contest This
 Week

Quiet will prevail in large measure ir this weeks City League schedule, unless some rank outsider pulls tre- mendous upset. The best game of the day should be between East Lake and Acipco, on the latter's diamond. The Powermen should have little trouble against Sayreton, while Sloss and Fairfield have only fairly hard games.
 The Lakers and the Ardismen are just as nicely matched as any two az gregations in the loop. The former are faster, more consistent and slightly better fielders, but Acipco has one of the most terrific wrecking crews, extensively, in the loop. The pitching is about on a par, when Manager Byrd is able to use one of his regular moundsmen.
 Neale Grocery company should give Sloss a good battle, but there is but little danger of their stopping the spec tacular winning streak of the lead CTS. East is a pretty fair tosser, but he has been too cratic to give grounds for any prediction of success against Sloss. For the By-Products team Ira wick is slated to open. He went 10 the rescue of the sorely beset Dewey Boston last week and pulled a game out of the fire after it had been nearly thrown away.
 Woodward has stopped Fairfield once and is good enough always to give the topnotchers a real struggle i; however, Fairfield won't be over con- f1dent this time and should win if they get the breaks.
 Southern Bell draws an off-day, get. ting a forfeit from the defunct Yellow Cabbers. They will utilize the vacancy in q trip to Sylacauga to engage the fast Mignon Mills team. They will bump into Ralph Stewart, Baron rookie for next year, and it will be interesting to see how he stacks up against the local amateurs.

r AYING the first stone, which
will serve as base for one
of the pilasters in the south
IL aisle of the crypt of the Ma
tional Cathedral, last week
marked one of the important steps
in the construction of that great
Gothic masterpiece of the modern
ages, which is slowly rising on the
heights of Mount st. Alban, over
looking the National Capital.
Since the signing of the contract
by the Right Rev. James E. Freeman.
Bishop of Washington, last May. for
construction costing nearly 100000,
workmen have been busy all SUNNI er
preparing for the event that occurred
last Monday.
Now the concrete, including the
four gigantic bases for the piers to
support the huge central tower that
will rise to a height Of 262 feet, has
been mixed and poured, and the more
exacting task Of laying and fitting
the stones for the part now under
construction has begun. These piers
are approximately 20 feet square and
SO feet high. They extend IL feet
above the level Of the ground.
The present contract will not be
completed until some time next Sum-
mer, q full year after 1t was signed,
according to Philip Hubert Frohman
Of the firm Of Frohman. Robb & Lit
tie, Of Boston and Washington, the
cathedral architects. Work will be

will be only slightly smaller than
the Bethlehem Chapel, and the lime
stone for tho side walls have been

will be ready to begin laying the
stone as soon as it arrives.
Granite is being used for the base
line and Indiana limestone for the
| outside walls throughout the cathe-
dral.
The Chapel of the Resurrection is
! a unique departure from the plan fol-
lowed in tho other great cathedrals
| of the world. 1t will be a mortuary
chapel, where funeral services will
be held and where the remains of
the dead will rest awaiting burial.
The columns and arches as we'll as
the exterior walls of the chapel will
be- built of stone, and the masonry
walls and vaulted ceiling will be
plastered and decorated in colo. and
gold.
One small lancet window in
stained glass depicting the Resurrec-
tion will pierce the semi-dome above
the altar in the semi-circular apse
of tho sanctuary. The effect Of this
window, along with the color and
gold OF the decoration, will relieve
the solemnity OF the massive archi-
lecture and suggest the resurrection
Of life after death.
The many visitors to the cathedral
during the past week, who saw the
busy artisans laying the stones and
making ready for the many more to
come. and who visited the shrine Of
Woodrow Wilson in the Bethlehem
Chapel, were amazed to learn when
they viewed the model in the curator s
ofiice recently erected that the cathe-
drai proper is only one-tenth COM
pleted. Many had expected to find a
finished structure at the end of their
pilgrimage out from the city and up
Mount st. Alban.
The thousands that come every

would be finished and how much 1t
