HARRISBURG, ILL.,, Jan. 20
Q.N.SO.-With more than half OF
the town under water, the gas and
water supply cut off, and its
streets crowded with flood refu-
gees, Harrisburg today took up the
task of fighting off disease. The
backwaterS of the Ohio River, %
miles away, have cut off the town
from outside communication ex-
cept by boat.
A company of the National
Guard arrived here to take charge
of distribution of tanks Of drink
ing water and enforce sanitation
rules. Drinking water is being ra-
toned. Taverns are serving beer
to take the place of water.
Emergency hospitals have been
set up. Innoculation of all inhabi-
tants is nearly completed.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 20
d.N.S.-Cold and snow forecast
for flood-stricken Louisville today
added to the burden of physicians
and nurses struggling to prevent
further spread of an epidemic Of
influenza and pneumonia.
Added to the fear of disease was
the menace of the collapse of
buildings in the downtown sector,
their foundations weakened by the
flood waters.
AS the waters slowly receded,
the death toll mounted to 200, ac-
cording to Mayor Neville Miller,
although unofficial sources said
the victims of the Ohio numbered
at least 400.
Trenches dug in the ciy'S GENE
terieS received the unidentified
dead in wholesale burials, hastily
effected to minimize the danger o1
pestilence.
Wherever possible, authorities
took photographs and fingerprints
of the unidentified bodies to pro-
vide clues for possible later identi'
fication.
An area about a four-story de
partment building in the heart OF
the business district was roped off
by police today as the structure
settled four inches.
FiSSures in sidewalks and streets
and in the walls of buildings
brought a new alarm to the city, a
fear that structures may collapse,
perhaps long after Louisville
emergeS from its horrible night
mare.
The task of accurately determin-
ing the death toll may never be
completed. Authorities have no
means of checking on the number
of persons dwelling in the low.

IN OHIO TOWN

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 90
G.N.SD Rapidly dwindling reser
voir water prompted city officials
to open the water mains for only
one hour today to conserve the
supply, but flood refugees could get
their fill of well and ciStern water
from 100 dispensing stations.
The flood claimed another vic
tim when a boy tentatively iden-
titled as William Reese, 9, Califor-
mia, Ohio, was drowned and his
sister, Emma, 7, narrowly escaped
drowning when they fell into
the California waterworkS reser-
voir while playing.
City Manager c. A. Dykstra said
he would establish a National
Guard river patrol tomorrow to
guard the city'S 42-mile water
front against looting and to keep
the area clear in case of fire.
He said the rule barring sight
seers from the city is still in ef-
feet, and that schools will not re-
open before February 8. The bust
ness holiday will be continued in
the downtown section until utili-
ties are back in service.
DykStra emphasized that the
flood waters failed to touch five
sixths of the city. He said:
"WhiIe the flood is the great
est in the history of Cincinnati,
only approximately IL square
miles of the city lOwlandS were
covered, or about One-sixth Of
the city'S area"

See Changed Bulge.

HE LOST both matches of the chal-
lenge round then, one to Perry
and the other to Austin, and was
beaten by Baron Gottfried Won Cramm
in the semi-flnals of the all-England
championship.
Now he already has won the singles
and shared both doubles finals at
Wimbledon this year, beaten Won
Cramm in the inter-zone finals in
one OF the greatest matches ever
seen on the center court and is IA
vored greatly to beat Austin in the
final match of the challenge round
tomorrow. Some feel that the defec-
ton OF Perry to the pro ranks gave
Bulge confidence to ascend to the
world No. l position. The ma ajority
points out he had just turned 20
when he was here in 1885 and claim
his present form is a natural realiza-
ton OF potentialities revealed then.
Anyway the fact remains he car
ried the United States through the
lnter-zone finals and now it looks
as II he will have to produce the
clncher tomorrow. The United States
is favored to hold a 2-to-l lead after
the doubles today but Hare is given
better than even chance to tie it
up in the first match with Frankie
Parker tomorrow, leaving the final
struggle with Austin up to Bulge.

mis- team supremacy in the
rest OF the world, but, as far as this
tennis capital iI concerned the trophy
is about to become the personal prop
erty of J. Donald Bulge.
If Great Britain cannot keep it
Bulge and his native land are vi
right with Wimbledon
Bulge, resembling bean pole
with his rebel red hair and freckles,
perhaps is the strangest of all the
Wimbledon heroes, but undeniably
he is the hero OF the fans just the
same
Lacking the personal appearance
Of Perry, Vines a>d Tilden, or the
passion OF Lacoste, Bulge has won
British hearts by his utter simplicity.
Up on Social Graces.
IT is unfair to perpetuate the
legend that Bulge is big, gangling
American boy who isn't up to VIM
bledon social graces, for that is
nonsense. He can balance a cup of
tea on his knee with anybody. He
knows where to buy the best flannel
in Britain, how to have it cut to
hide spindling legs and how to act
after he gets into it.
But always he is completely sincere
and simple-tWo qualities held high
in Britain.
He does no back-slapping. He never
makes play for the crowd. He
just walks out and politely beats the
ears of his opponents.
The result is he actually makes
Wimbledon fans forget tennis. They
naturally wish they had Fred Perry
for the singles tomorrow, but if they
did you couldn't get much of a bet
he would beat the red head
What Wimbledon wants to know
is what has happened to Bulge since
he was here in 1885 Britishers re-
call he had strokes that had
promise. but his manner was less
confident and his mistakes much
more frequent

Yesterday the lanky Texan polished
off Don McNeill of Oklahoma City to
win the Eastern clay court singles title
at Jackson Heights, 6-3, 10, 6-4,
0-6u u6-3.
McDiarmid and his opponent were
hampered by high wind. McNeill's
smashing service. which eliminated
Frank Bowden Of New York in the
semi finals, was Of little use to him
under the conditions. He made seven
double faults to McDiarmid's one Nc
Diarmid is the third successive West
erner to win the title.
The loser employed a soft drop shot
in the first set, but McDiarmid, play
ing smoothly, had little trouble. Nc
Neill's rally in the second set carried
him through five straight games, but
his errors cost him the third set. The
wind subsided temporarily in the
fourth and McNeill's pet drop shot
piled up points. Playing at the net,
the Oklahoman had things his own
way
The veteran Texan dropped the first
two games of the final set but Nc
Neill's eagerness forced him into
costly errors and McDiarmid's service
