NEW YOltK, Sept. 7—Robert Lind
ley Murray, the new tennis champion,
despite the fact that the United States
notation isn't going to call him
that, is a regular champion, even if
he does part his name in the middle.
It. Norris Williams did that, and ev
en Maurice K. McLaughlin had diff
iculty convincing new op|>onents he
was a tough guy with his service.
Murray, California product, in up
holding the Pacific coast's good re
cord at the court game, showed an
enthusiastic crowd at Forest Hills
that he -was about the nearest ap
proath to McLoughlln the tennis fans
had ever seen. While his service
doesn't cary the accuracy McLaughlin
was aide to get into his forceful
drives, he gets fully as much speed,
and a shot into the court almost al
ways is good for an ace. At the net
game, where McLaughlin himself was
rated a star, it may be said that Mur
ray has no equal. He is the embodi
ment of grace at the net. McLaugh
lin's range of play at this point made
It possible for him to serve, dash to
the net and finish off his points from
there.
It was always believed that there
never would be another tennis player
who could meet him at that game,
but It Is doubtful if the Comet would
have shown beter at this particular
style of play than did Murray in the
recent tournament.
McLoughlln also was good at back
court play, a point that Murray has
neglected so long that it was diffi
cult for him to perfect the low, stick
ing volleys just over the net and at the
feet of an opponent. He finally mas- j
tered it, however, and surprised hi.j
audience when he met Nathaniel W.
Niles at this game and beat him at It.
Niles is a survivor of the old Eng'.i h
method of play, personified In a num
ber of internationalists who have
played on American courts. lie de
pended wholy on an ability to accor
ately send his return shots over, re
lying on Murray or any other oppo
nent to finally smash a drive Into
the net or out of bounds. It was
through this style of play that he was
able to down Williams, but found a
new style in Murray, who alternated
an excellent back court game with a
dashing return from the net, and a
passing point from the latter position
when the opportunity presented It
self.

_
(By Associated Press)
AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR
TERS. Franco, Sept. 21- Mothers
and sweethearts at home might as
well not ask the Imys over there when
they expert to get Into the trenches.
The boys themselves don’t know
when they will move tip. Most likely
they will not know more than a few
I days before they entrain for th" front.
When a big enough forte has
been equipped and trained and the
American communications arc work
ing— when all the hig preliminary
tasks have been accomplished, the re
sidents of these pretty little French
towns, nestling among the pictures
que valleys, will say a sorrowful good
bye to the soldiers from over-seas and
pray for their victory In the trenches.
Until that day the boys have a pro
gram of gruelling work—drills, digg
ing, gunning end bombing. Officers
have now completed a survey for
miles around this place, marking put
billets for troops which will move up
to the main training urea. Any build
ing that can shelter the men under
sanitary conditions is liable to be ta
ken as accomodation for from five to
thirty-live or even more men.
Throughout the district the Ameri
can Commissions have found the
French villagers and farmers unusu
ally willing to accomodate the troops.
Aside from the high regard for Am
erlcana obtaining throughout France,
this was due to the good ntflne estate
lished by the first contingent from
America.
The French farmer now knows that
when an American soldier has chick
en for dinner he buys the chicken, al
though scores of fowls may be scratch
ing in the fields and in the village
streets. He knows, to. that no Am
erican soldier ever stole an apple, a
cantel mpe or a pear from a farmer,
because it is in the code of this army
to pay for everything the men take.
Another consideration that might
cause ! reluctance to accept an army
in billets Is the fact that French far
mers still remember the crimes of
the I! iche against women and girls.
With another army the farmer might
have taken a second thought before '
accepting into his home a number of
young men from a foreign country.
Hut the American record is unblem
ished. For in this territory where
tile name of the Boche recalls unmen
tionable honors, there has not been
n single Instance in which atT Ameri
can soldier ever forgot his respect
for women. Kven the harmless type
of mashing common on American
streets at night is absent from Amer
ican areas.
The code is simple In Its working,
founded on the pride that each man
has in the good name of the regiment.
Thousands of French people will tes
tify to its effect -honesty and honor
In a great body of young American
soldiers.
