Dir. KING Is BEATEN
BY HOWARD KlNSEY

SOUTHAMPTON. y. Y. August IA.
DR.. George King of New York made
his second great bid for victory over
Howard Kinsey yesterday in the
Southampton invitation tennis tourna-
ment and, as in the national champion
ship last year, he failed after estab-
fishing a lead.
Playing with impetuousness and
brilliance, the New York man took the
first set at IS and gained a lead of
% in the second. But Kinsey pro-
ceeded to disillusion him. The Cali
fornian ran his opponent ragged with
d mixture of chops, loop drives and
lobs and took the second and third
sets for the match, "a. GO.
In the national championship last
year DR.. King led Kinsey at 2-1 in
sets and in the third chapter was
ahead at % and 80. The Califor-
nian pulled out that match as he did
Yesterday. This sureness of Kinsey,
his total lack of nerves and his abil-
ity to rise to his greatest heights in Il
crisis is one of the biggest assets of
his game.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, January 81
Two firemen were injured, more than
a dozen business firms suffered losses
and an entire downtown business
block was threatened today when
flames swept a 10-story structure on
Penn avenue, causing damage esti-
mated by Fire Chief Shanahan at
$500, 900
The interior of the building was
destroyed by the fire. which started
on the third floor of the wholesale
merchandise establishment of l. Rob
bins & Son The intense heat broke
many window Danes and the showers
of broken glass endangered many
firemen. The flames also leaped
across Penn avenue, breaking win
dows there. A general alarm called
out most of the fire e-fighting appara-
tGr in the city
The entire Penn avenue district
was filed with smoke, and this ham
pered the firemen to such an extent
that it was some time before the blaze
could be found. Frozen water plugs
also added to the difficulties Fire
men went to the roof of tho Pitt
Theater, from where they poured
water into the burning building, and
the Alvin, short distance away, was
somewhat damaged by water.
Sewers in the district were unable
to carry away the heavy volume of
water poured onto the fames and
Penn avenue and several connecting
streets and alleys were flooded, and
the water poured into the Easements
of several stores, doing considerable
damage to merchandise
Several times the fire threatened to
spread to adjoining buildings, but
quick work of firemen prevented
greater destruction.
The fifth, sixth and seventh floors
of the building were used as storage
space for furniture, which was all
destroyed
