ball team, meeting the strongest
opposition the Union Works team
has offered any outfit during the
Industrial league schedule, man
aged to pull out with a TO VIC
tory in the game played on Dia-
mond No. last night. For six in
nings, pretty pitching duel was
furnished by Schmidt for the win
ners and Williams for the losers
and in the seventh, the Rulers got
TO the Union Works finger for
three hits and a quartet of runs.
The game, which started shortly
ly after o'clock went the full
nine innings and establishes a rec
ord for time as it was finished in
an hour and 25 minutes.
Both teams scored one in the
second, Lagerlof sent out high
fly to Billy Wolfe in center field
but just as Wolfe got his both
hands on the ball, his foot went
into soft spot in the field and he
dropped it. Mackay sent a bingle
into right center and when he
started steal while Schmidt was
holding the ball in the box, Lager
lof scored from third on the run
down of Mackay.
An error by Mcknight on
Schmidts grounder which he also
threw wildly to first put the run
ner on second. He went to third
on an infeld out and scored on
Wolfe's bingle to center. The
Rulers went into the lead in the
third. Jervis cracked a single into
left. Flodin sacrificed him to Sec
ond. He went to third on Thorsten-
sens infield out at first and scored
on Campbelrs drive through
ChatowslIi.
No more scoring was done until
the seventh inning when the STAN
ley Rule got their four runs on an
error and three hits, one of which
was triple and another a double.
This put the game on ice for them
and gave them a hard fought VIC
tory.
Nlllams stop With his bare hand
of a drive off Flodin's bat and his
play in running down Schaeffer
between third and home was the
feature turned in by the Union
Works. Jervis' catch of a drive off
Williams bat in the ninth was a
gem. Schmidts work in the box in
striking out nine men in five in
nings also featured. Lagerlof and |
Mackay were the only two able to |
secure hit off Schmidt's delivery |
while Thorstensen was the only |
Ruler able to get more than one
off Williams. The score:

WEATHER THWARTS
JOHNSTON AGAIN
Attack Of Grip Sends Little
Bill" to His Bed

Newport, r, l., Aug. 81 P)-Wil-
liam Johnston of California, for -
years a national championship con-
tender has been thwarted for the
second time in his 1926 eastern ten
mis- campaign by extreme flights of
weather.
Rain and cold, bringing on an at
tack Of grip, have cut short his bril-
liant sweep through the early rounds
of the annual Newport invitation
tournament with the same abrupt
ness that his initial eastern appear
ance of the season ended in an I'M
expected defeat few weeks ago at
Sea Bright, n. j., under the willing
heat of a tropical sun.
The veteran San Francisco star,
who won the Newport fixture in
1925 thus will answer the call to
participate in defense of the Davis
cup early next month without hav-
ing reached the final round of a
single eastern tournament, for the
event now nearing a close is the
last singles competition prior to the
international team test and the ma
tional championship.
Announcement yesterday by John
ston that his Illness would make it
impossible for him TO continue play
in the Newport singles shattered
hope of final round meeting be-
tween the little Californian and the
national champion, William T. TIL
den.
Newport has looked forward to a
match between the two rivals-their
second of season-as the most in
teresting struggle staged on the
Casino courts since the removal of
the national championship to Forest
Hills, N. 2, several years ago.
Johnston announced, however,
that he hoped to resume play in the
doubles here and to participate in
the national team championship next
week at Boston.
While Little Bill" was .recuperat-
ing in his room yesterday Tilden,
Manuel Alfonso of Spain and Brian
c. Norton of San Antonio We're
gaining their semi-final brackets in
a drizzle. Tilden eliminated the
Stanford player, Cranston Holman. |
GA, 6-S; Alfonso put out DR.. George ,
King of New York, 6-9, So; and
Norton vanquished James Davies of |
Cd. 6-3; A. H. Chaplin, |
Jr,, with a default from Johnston, |
drew Norton as an opponent today,
while Alfonso was pitted against the !
national title holder.
In the only doubles match played |
Tilden and Chaplin came |
from behind to gain their semi-fnal |
bracket at the expense of Holman
and Lionel Ogden, 4-6. Go, GA.

several times when within a point of
taking the match. He was the vic
tor at 6-4, As, 6-3, 81.

round in Philadelphia. but
he will not get a chance to play
here unless his teammates take two
Of the remaining three matches to-
lay and tomorrow.
The Borotra-less French squad
was still favored to beat Japan aft

al contenders have not been given

doubles was set for this afternoon

Iarada facing Coehet and Jacques

encounter tomorrow, Lacoste meets
Tawara while Cochet encounters

GOOD WILL
Good Will to Have
New Water System

The most important step forward
In long time at Good Will was taken
Tuesday at the annual meeting of the
directors, when it was decided to pro-
coed at once to construct a new and
adequate water system and DR.. G. G.
Averill, gave the project a fine send
off by subscribing $4,000 toward the
project. Good Wills first water sup
ply was a well in front of the first
cottage; this was filled UP after Mr..
W. L. Bidwell Of Windsor, Conn, gave
money to connect Rainbow spring
with the three cottages by lead pipes,
the water being pumped up from the
tanks in the cellars. This system, in
turn, was supplanted by a pumping
system which made use of Pine Dale
spring. When this supply was no
longer sufficient, FRS. A. NJ. Kidder Of
Boston, gave $500 for a pneumatic
system, which forced water from the
kennebec for all purposes except
drinking and cooking. For several
years this system has been pitifully
inadequate and the present plan be-
came a necessity. Several schemes
were considered, the Kennebec. Mar
but each was condemned. f. L. Scru-
ton of Portsmouth, N. H., then visited
Good viii and after a survey offered
two possibilities to the committee.
The proposed system will cost about
$4,000. Work will begin as soon as
the preliminaries can be attended to
and it is expected that the work will
be completed before December. This
system will provide hydrants, fine
pressure and fire protection.
At the annual meeting of the Good
WIN Home Association. held in the
Administration Building, Tuesday,
President c. l. Bailey, presided in the
morning and Vice President Forest G.
Colby in the Afternoon. Various re-
ports were read and accepted. The
officers of the previous year were re-
elected and the name of w. W. Drew
OF stamford, Conn, was added to the
board of directors. The treasurer's
report showed that contributions the
past year have not been sufficient to
meet expenses and there is a deficit
OF little over S11. 1000 A number OF
Good Wills most generous helpers
nave died the past year, whose an
nual contributions amounted to many
thousand dollars. 1t is confidently
expected that the coming year will be
IA better one financially.
