Allison Rises to Heights

Allison, from the first serve until
the final point, played as if he was
out to redeem himself for all his
failures-Davis Cup and otherwise
of the past. No longer a young
sterile is nearing 31-Allison cut
a blistering pace all the way. In
the face Of this whitening barrage
Perry didn't play his usual game.
He had his customary speed afoot,
and his shots carried their usual
sting. But his accuracy was poor.
Whether this was due to the in
jury he suffered when chasing one
of Allison's sharply-angled volleys
in the seventh game or whether it
was due to the Texans relentless
pressure, is something no one will
ever know.

Allison, whipped in the finals last
year by Perry and conquered by
the Englishman in the recent Davis
Cup challenge round at Wimbledon,
played like one inspired as he
whipped the worlds No. star, rs,
6-3, 63. Wood gained the right to
contest for the title, which has
eluded him and Allison for so many
years when he whipped Bryan
"BitSy'' Grant, GO, As, 1910, 60.
Coasts to Triumph
While Perry was falling, Helen
Jacobs of Berkeley, CAL, moved on
to greater triumphs. In the closing
match yesterday she whipped Mrs.
Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Boston,
60, ga, to win the women's title.
The victory, achieved with a min
imum of effort, gave the California
girl her fourth consecutive Amer
lean championship. This was a re-
markable feat, but the crowd of
$4,000 at West Side Stadium was

ing victory.
Perry suffered a bad fall in the
seventh game of the opening set.
After the match was over it was re-
vealed the EngliShman had injured
his right kidney and was in pain
every time he swung his racquet.
Had it Coming
The star of England'S Davis Cup
team minimized the injury after he
had lost.
Il had a licking coming to me,
and it was my hard luck to have
it come two days too soon. Allison
played magniflcently," he said.
Perry was right-Allison did play
magnificently. Not in all his many
years of campaigning did the Texan
ever reach the heights as he did
yesterday in blasting Perry's hopes
for a third consecutive American
title. And it was a pity Perry had
to fall and rob Allison Of a clear
cut victory, for it's doubtful that
Fred, on the best day he ever saw,
could have stemmed the irresistible
surge of the Allison who opposed
him yesterday.

Sbewbridge was questioned at length

COL. KNOX CALLS
ON LEADERS HERE
Chicago Publisher, Mentioned a
g. o. P. Candidate, Sees
Borah and Capper.

An assertion that Republican
chances for the presidency in 1896
are improving, but varying views as
to how they should be capitalized
yesterday emerged from brief and in
formal political parleys here between
Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher
and Republican Senators.
Put forward by some Senators as q
possible presidential candidate against
Franklin D. Roosevelt next year, Col
Knox first called on Senator Borah
of Idaho. who wants the party re-
organized with new principles and
leaders. He then spent another 10
minutes in the ONCE Of Senator Cap
per of Kansas.
Col Knox, here for the 0ridiron
Club banquet last night, supported
Theodore Roosevelt In the memorable
1919 party split. He refused yester-
day to discuss reports about his per-
sonaI chances for the nomination.
Il am running the Chicago Daily
News" he replied with 3 smile, when
asked about the reports. He did say,
however, that Republican prospects
looked brighter.
Borah said afterward that he re-
ceived the impression that the 6l-
year -old publisher, a close personal
friend, agreed with him as to the
need for reorganization, but possibly
not as to the method of bringing that
about.
Talking q little more freely than
Borah, Senator Capper recalled his
20 years friendship with Knox, in
cluding the time he operated news
papers in New Hampshire and Michi-
gan.
col. Knox is not running fol
President" Capper said, but he IL

Shewbridge testified that smoke
and steam we're beating down on his
side of the cab due to the rush of
wind from the opposite side of the
engine, but at the time the wreck oc-
Cured he had a plain view OF the
crossing intersection.
He said he was not coversing with
the fireman at the time Of the wreck
and both men were gazing intently
ahead, the fireman from his seat on
the left side of the cab.
Only few seconds before. he added,
Bussey had called out the reading on
an automatic signal leading into the
block" approaching Rockville.
Bell Signals Testimony.
Neither the engineer nor other men,
bers of the crew were able to testify
whether the automatic signal bells To-
Gated at the road crossing were ring
ing as the train crossed the intersec-
tiOn with the highway.
The noise of the roaring train was
too great, they said.
Shewbridge who is So, and lives at
Sandy Hook, Md, has been an engi-
neer for 80 years with only one other
fatality on his record.
An automobile occupied by two
| women crashed into the side OF his
| locomotive at the Chestnut avenue
crossing in Takoma Park, Nd, several
years ago and both motorists were
killed. Shewbridge was entirely ab-
| solved of any blame by county, State
and railway oficials.
Conductor Compton said he raced
to a telephone after the accident and
notified a telephone operator and then
returned TO the train. He said the
train continued on into Washington
after the rescue workers removed the
bodies and debris from the tracks.
Compton, Flagman Collier and Gull
bertson testified the engineer had ap-
piled the emergency brake, for the
train halted with violent jerk"

crossing disclosed that q man stand
| ing in the highway at distance OF %
feet from the near rail on the side on
which the bus approached the tracks
| could observe q man standing dis
| tance of 1,540 feet up the tracks.
He also explained the manner in
which the crossing Is guarded by a
danger signal which shows a red light
at all hours of the night and by the
automatic bells actuated by a trip
on the rails, 3.578 feet away.
r. T. Perrell. signal supervisor OF
the Baltimore division, then took the
witness chair and told that an inspec-
ton of the bell circuit made on the day
following the accident revealed 1t to
be in perfect order.
While the probe was in progress
here, Gov Harry w. Nice in Annap-
oils directed the State Roads Commis-
sion to take immediate steps to elimi-

was functioning perfectly and it was
possible TO pickup a man on the
tracks 700 or 800 feet ahead"

gineers, later testified that the sealed
speed indicator on the engine showed
the train was running 58 miles an
hour at the time of the crash and
that the engine had not exceeded so
miles an hour at any point on the
run
The tape taken from the recorder

the demand for legislation which will
make war prohteering impossible.

COUNTY MAY SUE
ROAD0N 0LDLAW
1912 Statute Ordered B. &

the Baltimore IL Ohio Railroad for
alleged violation of a forgotten 23-

night that snuffed the lives OF IA
school children, makes it mandatory
for the railroad to maintain a signal
man at the Baltimore avenue death

A sign at the crossing now warns
motorists that the signalman leaves
his post at 10 pm, hours before
the limit set by the law enacted IN
