Thunder, storms jeriou$!y interfered with the uroEress .of the thirty -eventh an nual national , singles tennis chamW pionship tournament her today, only three' matches, beinfcv finished dufrjng the afternoon. -N. ' Chief interest centered in the play .?ng of'R. Lindley Murray of Cali fornia, playing from-Niagara Falls. N. Y., and W; T. Tilden..: Jr., of Philadelphia and both had narrow escapes from being eliminated as the result of ' long drawn out contests w ith two veteran , . New Yorkers, Frederick R. Alexander and Walter Merrill Hall,' respectively. Murray did succeed Jn defeating Alexander just as the rain terminated the day's play, but the "downpour .found Til den and Hall "still battling for the fifth and deciding sets. " ' Murray Has Off Day. -. Murray appeared ' to ' have an off day after , his excellent" play; ot the preceding afternoon and it was only by calling on bis suf tr-speed and skill at critical moments .in the struggle that he was able to win his way into the round before the semi-final. Against Alexander's steady and ac curate ga.ne the Californian swung froni. sparkling to ; very indifferent tennis, making' errors irr netting or outing the ball and then pulling out games by most remarkable service and driving; When, he was playing at his best his superiority was shown by the two Move sits (which he won during the match, which ended at 6-8; 8-6; 6-0;;4-6; 6-0. , Tilden was not so 'fortunate, for lie could not stop Hall at critical moments despite his splendid com mand of strokes and 'the end of the i lay found Hall leading at 6-3; ro; -5;' -3-2. deuce,, and' Tilden serving. Previous to - thete, matches a. Howard Voshell of Brooklyn had won his way into the semi-final round in the upper half of the draw by de feating Lt. Craig Biddle of Phila delphia by scores r of 6:2i 6-3; 9.7. Voshell owed 'his victory to his faster foot work and ability to out race -Diddle tcrthe net or pass him along the side lines. - i .; , . i '" , . Nile.

' Kashio' s more famous countryman, from a , tennis standpoint, Icniya Kumagae, drew Beal S, Wright, the hrvKT internationalist, as his oppon ent today and the ;pair were waging a merry battle, with the racquets when , their play was halted by the rain. Wright led at 9-8, the one game advantage being the' result. of much active footing and careful re turning of h ball, in - which the veteran American used every artifice at his command to hold the Oriental expert in check.

Itis in nine sections and its presentation consumes an entire afternoon or evening. It ws six months in the making and occupied the undivided attention of a motion picture company all that time. Mr. Wright himself was active in the di rection of the story, which tells a love romance of Riverside and South ern California and the scenes were shot in this territory.

Middle west exhibitors of motion pictures will hold a big convention in Chicago September 3 to 7. At that time there will be taken up the question of aiding Uncle Sam in war work besides the problems that the motion picture industry has to face to aid itself. In the coming Young Men's Christian Association drive, it is announced that while motion pic tures wiH be used freely to advertise . the drive and the work that this or ganization is doing over here and over . there, no collection of funds will be made either in or outside of motion picture-houses. This attitude is be ng taken by national boards because it is felt that the pressure of fund raising at theaters has kept people away from motion picture houseH and in this way has defeated the purpose , in as-king the movies to help in telling about the funds rather than aided in the actual amounts collected.
