NEWTON, Mass., Aug. 11. Two hard
fought fout-set matches comprised the
play in the opening, round of the na
tional lawn tennis doubles champion
ship tournament on the courts of the
Longwood Cricket club today.
The winners were Norris Williams II
of Boston and Watson M. Washburn of
New York, holders of the New England
title, and Maurice E. McLoughlin and
T. C. Bundy, both of Los Angeles, Pa
cific coast champions.
McLoughlin and Bundy defeated an
other California pair, Willis Davis and
11. Van Dyke Johns, who hold the
western sectional title. The score was
ti-4. 9-7, 4-6. 6-4.
In the second set, which Davis and
Johns lost, 7-9, they had 53 points to
their opponents' 48. Twelve of the 46

Ichiya. lvumagae of Japan and Harold
Throckmorton of Elizabeth, N. J., who
hold the middle states sectional cham
pionship, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 8-6.
Throughout the match with Mc

superior to that of his partner.
Bundy, who. although less spectacu
lar than McLoughlin, was steadier
"The comet" was in somewhat better
form than at Newport last week and
seemed to get over the court faster,
The points scored in the four sets
totalled 150 for the winners and 140

Jn the Williams-Wash burn-Kuma
sae'i hrockmorton match the play was
brilliant throughout. This was par

Williams has not yet achieved the form

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aus. 11.
(Special.) October 25 is the data set
for the Oregon "Aggie"-Stanford foot

Ames of the Stanford team. The game
will be played in Portland.
This game will Te tne second upon
le schedule of the Stanford football
earn. Later in the. season University of
Oregon will meet Stanford at Palo Alto,
November 22. The Stanford team will be
the first American football team that
has been turned out here since 1908.
This season will also mark the return
of the annual "big game" with the
University of California.
The coach. Bob Evans, intends to
make a big effort in the coming season
to prevent history from repeating. The
score ot 72-0 that Washington rolled
up on the University . of California,
when that college returned to the
American game, is weighing on his
mind. To prevent a like slaughter be
falling the lot of the Cardinal athletes
he is making every effort to get his
new material in shape at an early date.
Evans says that no scores of the 72-0
variety will be chalked up against the
Cardinals, for Stanford already has
number of football stars registered at
college. Among these is the redoubt
able "Hercules" Bihlman, the shot-
putter and general weight man. "Here"
earned to play in the army. K. R.
Caughey is another fast and heavy
man that should cinch a place in the
backfield. He is a former track cap
tain and took first in the shotput ii

Former Rugby stars like Lilly, the
Stanford sprinter: Pelouze, Righter,
Adams and Walker will return in the
fall and brighten Stanford's chances
considerably.

HOME experts say that woman fails
O at golf because she does not attain
man's degree of proficiency. Wherein
ies the reason? Not lack of practice.
Women nowadays play more than men,
or at least as much. Not lack of in-
truction. They take heaps of lessons
and make good pupils. It is becaus
they are not so well equipped physi
cally. In driving, they frequently over-
swing, owing to their extreme supple
ness and looseness of sinew. The wrists
are invariably too loose, and there
an absence of "throw," go apparent in
man's stroke.
In iron and mashie play, here we I
find wrists lhat are apparently too
weak to get that real snap action which
necessary for successful play, and
generally speaking the swing is always
too long. Jn bad lies and hazards
women do not recover so well as the
average man. At short chips and put
ting, honors are about even.
The best advice to women is to en
deavor not to overawing. It is better
to have too short than too long a swing.
Develop ihe forearm and wrists; strong
wrists are essential to good play. Learn
to take the club back principally with
the left hand, the left wrist being
straight and stiff. Practice, but prac-.
tice properly, and you will beat some
men if you cannot beat all.

to extend her sphere of influence in
China. Viscount Ishii replied that he
agreed, but thought the agreement
should " recognize the special interest
of Japan in China.
T replied that 1 was willing to state J
that Japan had a 'special' interest in
China, but not a 'political' interest, and
I objected to making an agreement
without defining and limiting the term
'special interest.' I said that if it meant
'paramount interest I could not discuss
it further, but if it meant merely 'spe
cial' interest I would consider it.
"Viscount Lshii brought up the Mon
roe doctrine and suggested there should
be a Monroe doctrine for the fa? east.
I told him there was much misconcep
tion about the Monroe doctrine: that it
was not an assertion by the United
States of a primary or a paramount in
terest in the countries of the western
he'misphere, but a declaration to pre
vent interference of foreign nations
with their affairs or territory, and that
the Lmted States claimed no special
privileges over other nations. .
lahli Don Not Aaaent.
"I told Viscount Ishii that I felt that
the same principle (ot a Monroe doc
trine) which applied to American coun
tries should be applied to China that
no special privilege and certainly no
paramount interest should be claimed
by any foreign power in China."
"Did he (Ishii) apparently consider
your view or simply maintain silence?"
asked Senator Brandegee, republican,
Connecticut.
"Simply maintained silence," said Mr.
Lansing.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. President
Wilson, today refused to send the sen
ate a copy of General Bliss' letter con
cerning the Shantung settlement on the
ground that it contained confidential
references to other governments.
Text of Letter.
The president's letter follows:
"I have received "the resolutions of
the senate dated July 15 and July 17
asking:
"First, for a copy of any treaty pur
porting to have been projected between
Germany and Japan, such as was re
ferred to in the press dispatches in
closed, together with any information
in regard to it which may be in pos
session of the state department, or any
information concerning any negotia
tions between Japan and Germany dur
ing the progress of the war.
"In reply to this resolution I have
the honor to report that I know of no
such negotiations. I heard the rumors
that are referred to, but was never
able to satisfy myself that there was
any substantial foundation for them.
"Second, requesting a copy of any
letter or written protest by the mem
bers of the American peace commis
sion or any officials attached thereto
against the disposition or adjustment
which was made Jn reference to Shan
tung and particularly a copy of a letter
written by General Tasker H. Bliss,
member of the peace commission, on
behalf of himself. Honorable Robert
Lansing, secretary of state, and Honor
able Henry White, members of the
peace commission, protesting against
the provisions of the treaty with ref-
rence to Shantung.
Complaint Antedated Decision?
In reply to the request, let me say
that General Bliss did write me a letter
in which he took very strong ground
gainst the proposed Shantung settle
ment and that his objections were con
urred in by the secretary of state and
Mr. Henry White. But the letter can-
ot properly be described as a protest
gainst the final Shantung decision,
ut it was written before that decision
had been arrived at. The final discus-
ion was very materially qualified by
the policy which Japan undertook to
pursue with regard to the return of
the Shantung peninsula in full sover-
lgnty t China.
T am also asked to send you any
memorandum or other information with
reference to an attempt of Japan or
er peace delegates to intimidate the
Chinese peace . delegats. I am happy
to say that I have no such, memorandum
or information."
