WILL MEET LARNED TODAY Pacific Coast Man Gives Opponent Struggle of Life Larned Has Won the Championship In Four Contests. NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 28. By taking three out of four hard-fought sets from .viaunce .mcLougniin, ine raanc t-oasi champion, ln the United States National lawn tennis tournament today, William J. Clothier, of Philadelphia, won the right to play William A. Larned for the National championship. Lamed and Clothier, who have met many times dur ing the last few years, will play this most important match of the year tomor row. McLoughlin, who has- startled the fol lowers of the game by his speedy and brilliant playing, made a game fight to day. Clothier took the first set, 7 to 5, and when he had captured the second, 6 to 4. the match seemed easily within his grasp. , McLoughlln's Brilliant Play. But McLoushlln showed no signs of discouragement. Playing at his top game, aftain and again passing the former champion on the side lines, and scoring aces on' his terrific serves, he forced the ajpme to deuce repeatedly and finally succeeded In getting two games In suc cession and taking the set, 11-9. His .strenuous work, however, tired him greatly, and, although he made a good start in the first part of the fourth set, he was unable to maintain his accuracy, and he drove the ball out and into the net 6o often that Clothier had no diffi culty In winning the set, 6-3, and "trie match.' Seldom has there been more in tense Interest. 1 Larned Only Once Excelled. Only the first American champion, R. D. Sears, who maintained that position for seven years, has -exceeded Larned's record in National title-holding, and only one other, R. D. Wrenn, has equaled It.

Doherty, won again in 1M7 through the default of Clothier and main tained It laft year against Beals C. Wright. Larned had to play through the tournament last year, and he secured the old cup by his third winning of the championship In 1907. A victory tomor row would give him two legs on tho new cup.

"The pear crop is unusually light throughout the state, with the excep tion of Southern Oregon," stated Mr. Williamson. "The Southern Oregon crop lsfine, however, and holds up the average, commercially, of the entire state. - The apple crop will also be light, with the' exception-that Southern Oregon will produce a fair crop this year. The grape crop is promising, al though some time must elapse yet be fore rhe grapes are ready for picking. "The next few days will tell the story of the hop crop In Oregon. With dry, clear weather" there will be a fine crop, but a few days of rain now would prove detrimental. The vines are, all light, but have a wealth of heavy burrs. The hops were not sprayed during; the early part of the season o'n account of the prospect of low prices and, as a result, were hurt to some extent." Outsiders Are Regular Readers.

JJ'"1 TAKES ALL WRITING CONTEST CREDIT CHECKS Eilers Piano House Accepts Prize Checks Not Necessary To Have Them Countersigned. Gives Full Value for Them, Whether $60, $80 or Even $100, Plus Bonus of Four Per Cent. As announced heretofore, thirteen and possibly fifteen of America's greatest, most responsible and most highly renowned piano makers join Eilers Piano house in this undertak ing. Of course, "Piano Certificates" or "Checks" have no intrinsic value In themselves, and can only be accepted by a dealer ,ln a position to place large orders, and when factories agree to co-operate by rebating all or a part of tho amount represented by the "prize checks." Why Hhe Ronna of Four Per Cent? As Is well known, our house has In the past promoted several publicity contests, where certificates have been Issued; our experience has been that the cost of the prizes, advertising, etc., has averaged 4 per cent of the volume of the business resulting' therefrom. In this instance it has not cost us a cent for this expense, so we have determined to give our patrons the benefit of this saving. Each and every piano in our stock bears a card1 upon which is marked in plain figures the lowest grice at which the Instrument is sold, elect the piano you want, and if the price be, for example, $245, deduct the amount of your prize check, plus 4 per cent, pay 'one-tenth of the balance in cash, and take 24 months yes, 33 months In which to finish payment of the balance, for the mere, additional simple interest. that there Is not a better way or learning of the many opportunities of sharing In this wonderful and pros perous growth. . . .
