Tennis Match
Ends in Tie
Continued from Page ~.


beating Austin As, 90, So. 6-s,
while Perry beat McGrath. in
straight sets, 90, Ga, 60.
To-day's results ran true to ex-
pectations, and with the opening
days matches complete experts
still believed the outcome depend
ed upon to-morrow's one doubles
match. Crawford was q prohibit
tive betting favorite to beat Per-
ry, and Austin is expected to win
his match with McGrath.
McGrath's famous double-fisted
backhand occasionally prevailed
against Perry, but the English
star utilized larger variety of
strokes and maintained a greater
accuracy and better pace. Perry
scored often with placements to
the wings. especially in the last
set when McGrath was netting off
the backhand.
The match between Austin and
Crawford was played before a
crowded gallery which cheered ar
Austin captured the first set only
to lose the next three. The con-
test was even closed than the score
indicated. with many games going
10 ueuCe.
England must win three of the
next four matches IL it is to win
the tie and face the United States
in the interzone final.
Both Crawford and Austin had
their services in excellent order,
and many aces were scored, the
Australian having q slight advan-
tage.
Austin often tried to come in for
attacks at the net but Crawford
passed him with burning place
ments to the sidelines. Crawford
also held slight advantage with
his backhand and his courtcraft
was markedly superior.
Tomorrow's doubles match will
be played by Perry and George
Patrick Hughes, and, probably,
Crawford and Adrian Quist. The
British pair has been named defin-
itely, but the Australian selection
is tentative. 1t might be changed
In the morning. depending upon
weather and other conditions.

Odd Procedure Is
Ordered To Comply
With Statutes
Co-Defendant is Receiver and Hence Could Not Be
Sued Until Court Granted Permission = Sale OF
Dynamite and Death of Man By Boulder DislOdged
By Blast Involved in Case

name Mr. Templeton co-defendant,
because the statutes state that a
receiver cannot be sued without the
court in which the receivership is
instituted first giving permission.
Mrs Ordowski is named the other
defendant on the grounds that she
obtained dynamite from the Tenn
pleton company without first get
ting permit as required by the
statutes. One Joseph Spuras and
the defendants son, Louis, used the
dynamite in excavating the cellar.
The plaintiffs son went out to the
farm the next day to help exca-
vate.
The boulder fell upon him and
he died the next day. Mr. Tenn
'pleton is charged with negligence
in selling the dynamite without de-
handing a permit from the pur-
chaser. Damages OF $4,000 are
asked in the suit which is return
able to court in September.

This is only 10 per cent of the

II was learned that he obtained his
freedom only after promising to
make further payments to the kid
napers.
What can 7 do?" he asked
when asked what steps
would be taken to prosecute the
kidnap gang. There were so
many men involved that l
couldn't possibly recognize any of
them by their voices and l was
never able to see them. They all
seemed to have cultured voices and
intelligent speech"
Factor believed his release was
attributable in part at least to the
strenuous campaign the federal
government has launched against
kidnapers..
When he was confronted with
reports that he had staged the
kidnapping to escape an extradition
hearing Factor said II hope the
people who started those reports
never have to go through what l
did. l thought would go crazy"
