Dr. Lyman Abbott - Succinctly Gives His Idea of Spirit of Em- ployer and Empioye. Dr. Lyman Abbott preached a pér mon at the First Congregational Church yesterday morning on the sub- ject of “Christ's Standard of Great-| ness.” and this standard he applied to men of all conditions in life.. The difficulty,” he said, “is that some realize they are renflering a serv- e and others do not. Some put| their whole spirit into the service re quired of them and others render service because they cannot avoid it.” The doctor was strong in fhs denunciation of greed, the desire to | make money simply for the sake of | having and said that greed could be in the poor as easily as in the rich. It is not the question of how much a ! man has, but the spirit he has with | regard to it | This thought led the doctor to the labor situation. He said that on the | one hand a body of men organige and . frequently their spirit is to get as | - much work as possible for as Jittle pay as possiblee. On the other hand. h\Man men _organige, -and sometimes their spirit is to do as Iittle | work as possible for as much pay as possible. If employers should be anxious to pay as much as théy rightly could and if employes were anxious to render as much service £ what they get the labor question would be settied ———— RUNE AMUCK WITH KNIFE — Francis Hausks was arrested yesterday afterneon for assault with 8 Geadly wespon.

The match in which most interest centered was that between Clarence Griffin, the most prominent player at the Park, and Herbert Long, the Cali- fornja Club’s most promising young- ster. The match was played in one of the Park courts and was witnessed by many spectators. Both hoys were out to win. That they are evenly matched the score shows. After each had won a 6-4 set, Long, Qy a splendid effort, took the third and deciding set 9-7. Long led at 3-1 and 40-30, but Griffin soon ran the score up to 5-4 in his fa- vor. He also led at 7-6. Long evened up matters and won the next two games. In the last game he won four clean aces on backhand drives. All of the experts turned out at the California Club courts and some clever matches resulted. Frank Mitchell was | at his best and beat Will Allen two sets with the loss of but one game. Grant Smith and Tracy Crawford played three good sets. Crawford is improving rapidly. He won the first set, but Smith took the next two easily. Smith had a lead of 5-3 in the first set. In doubles Drummond MacGavin and Chet Smith played a close match with Mitchell and Herbert Schmidt. The former won the first set 6-0. Mitch- ell and Schmidt won the second 6-3. The third set was exceedingly close. At 8-8 they decided to let one game decide it.
