LACK OF GAS CRIPPLES PIONEER OPERATIONS; ' MAKES NEWS SHORTAGE Readers of this issue of The Pioneer will undoubtedly note an apparent lack of the usual amount of news and wonder why. Some may even think that the whole crew has been “Gass- | ed”, but the real truth of the matter is that the lack of gas crippled operations in the “back shop” today. On account :of . the trouble experienced at the Bemidji Gas * company. plant © last evening when a “clean-up” campaign was being carried on, local users of gas are handicapped today. The damage to the gas plant: was only slight however and the management expects to have everything ready for operation again this afternoon. Subscribers’ are kindly asked to “overlook” any shortage of news today and “look over” what there is very carefully. NET VICTORIES ABROAD - GREAT HELP TO TENNIS GAME IN UNITED National Champion Will At- tract Large Crowds to Wit- ness National Singles R ¥ - (By United Press.) New York, Aug. 6.—The triumphal return of America’s tennis aces from conquering Europe’s* best, both in the Davis cup preliminaries and in the national tournament at Wimble- dont is bound to have a very strong effect in stimulating tennis in the United States, Also the fact that William M. Johnston, our national champion, will be sllowed to enter the challenge round in the national singles at Forest Hills, is bound to at- tract one of the greatest crowds that ever witnessed a. tennis match. . When William T. Tilden, survived the eliminations in the Wimbledon tourndment while Johnston' was beat- en has led a great many followers of the net game to acclaim Tilden a greater tennis player than Johnston. It ‘is extremely doubtful, however, if this is the case, although Tilden probably has improved some over his game of a year ago. It will be recalled that Tilden de- feated Johnston about a year ago at Longwood, but that when the actual tennis test came—that at Forest Hillg in the national singles—John- ston came through with a remarkable display of court work and defeated Tilden in the final round. Johnston is a small chap and his | physique isn’t strong, but he always is able to go through a tournament with something in, réserve for the finals. He plays a strong game at all times. He isn’t master of all strokes, but his placement shots are wonder- ful and he can volley at the net with the-best of them. Tilden probably has at his command a grepter variety ot strokes than the. champion, but he hasn’t the ability to control his game as has Johnston.
