EXCITED OYER TOURNEY
English Daily Press Echoing Cheers Given to Bunny Austin in Wimblc- don Play.

London. June 27 IR-The roars of delight which greeted Bunny Aus tins victory over Jacques Brugnon at Wimbledon yesterday were echoed in print by the tennis experts in the morning papers. The English tennis fans. indeed, are getting quite excit- ed over the prospect of having . champion or even a finalist in Aus- tin. They have become so accustom- ed to seeing foreigners smash their favorites that such conquests aS that Of Austin over the Frenchman and Of Sharpe over Baron De Morpurgo seem too good to be true.
 Austin's success seems at variance with his slight frail appearance. but his skill is unauestionable. One critic maintains that if he had a better service he would be the worlds champion.

LEN SMALL ENDS
TERM AS GOVERNOR
Illinois Executive Had Been
Storm Center for
Years.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, January IA
Len small became private citizen
today and ended a tempestuous eight
year reign as Governor of Illinois.
OF his many disappointments anc
regrets, the one which seemed to weigh
most heavily with the little gray hairec
man, who for years has been a storm
center and object of bitter attacks, was
the fact that he had never learned tc
play.
Work always occupied the governors
waking hours and his relaxation was
sleep, he explained. AS he prepared
to leave for the South, he ventured
the. information he might learn to play
golf-maybe.
IN leave Office much poorer man.
financially" he said. But money
counts for little. I'll always have
enough to live"
Faced Two Suits.
Two law suits marred his term as
governor Criminal charges were
brought against him on the grounds
that he withheld State money while
State treasurer. He was acquitted after
a long Trial. several Gays later MS
wife died and the governor attributed
her death to the strain of the trial.
A civil suit was then brought against
him demanding an accounting of the
State money and judgement was re-
turned against him. The State claimed
the governor owed it million dollars,
but settlement was made out of
court for $650,0O0
Gov. SmalPS administration was con-
stantly under fire by newspapers and
political enemies. Attacks on the board
of pardons and paroles caused him to
reorganize it few years ago and whole
sale charges of corruption quoted for a
while. AS the second term drew to a
close, however, the granting of a dozen
or more paroles drew more criticism.
Road Building Achievement.
The governor counted the building of
hard roads as one of his greatest ac-
CompliShmentS and pleasures Seven
thousand miles were built under his ad-
miniStration. He was elected both times
on a good roads platform.
Small, seeking a third term. was
beaten for the Republican nomination
last April by Louis l.. Emmerson, who
later was elected and who became
governor today.
In private life Small is a farmer,
banker and newspaper man.

The first squad. consisting Of

be expected to occupy their familiar

been left vacant with the gradua-

greatest difficulty is finding a
capable guardian of the initial sack.
