Ford Shoots Himself by Accident Hi BUNDY Ell FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 8.— William M. Johnstone, the new national tennis singles champion, and his part ner, Clarence J. Griffin, won the nation al tennis doubles championship here this afternoon by defeating the titleholders, Maurice E. McLoughlin and Thomas C. Bundy in a match that went the full five sets. It was one of the most brilliantly played and bitterly contested matches ever seen in the history of the game— and youth won. The scores were 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. The wonderful playing of Johnston and the surprisingly poor form shown by the once peerless McLoughlin tells the story’ of the victory for the youth ful pair and the defeat of the older men who won the championships in 1912, 1913 and 1914. During the first set Johnston and Griffin devoted most of their attention to studying the service and the driv ing of their older rivals. They lost that set, but when the second set be gan the Pacific Coast champion set tled down to real tennis playing, as suming the offensive, and from then on it seemed a certainty that their su perior ability, their youth and their dashing attack must triumph. McLoughlin faltered often and the showing that his team made was due largely to the great playing of Bundy, who was here, there and everywhere Dumba Plans Menace To U. S. Friendship WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—President Wilson to-day assumed personal di rection of the Administration’s han dling of the complications which have arisen through the activity of Dr Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hun garian Ambassador, in endeavoring to prevent delivery of American muni tions to the Allies. The question nas broadened so that the issues involved are now vital as affecting the friendly relations exist ing between the two governments. It is no longer merely whether Dr. Dum ba was overzealous. He has taken the position that he was carrying out in structions from his home government in seeking to prevent Austro-Hunga rian citizens from manufacturing more munitions for Austria's enemies. And in making that Statement the Ambassador has brought up for the Administration’s consideration the general activity of the belligerents’ diplomatic representatives in this country. Militia to Rule At Texas Border Alf C. Ford, one of the most widely nown advertising men in Atlanta, ;cidentally shot himself with a re- slver early Wednesday and is in a ■itieal condition at Grady Hospital, he physicians say he has a chance ,r life unless complications set in. The bullet narrowly missed the ;art and entered the left lung, pass- g through the body. Mr. Ford was msclous when he was taken to the sspital and remained conscious most 1 the day. Mr. Ford arose from the sleeping orch at his home, No. 25 Bonaven- ,ire avenue, at 6:50 o'clock Wednes- ay morning and started Into the ouse to dress. In one hand he bore jme articles of clothing and in the ther a revolver, which he kept under is pillow at night and which he in- mded placing in a safe place in- oors. He was twirling the revolver, e told the physicians, when It was ischarged and the bullet entered his ody. A. rush call to Grady Hospital brought an ambulance and Mr. Ford, still in his pajamas, was hurried to the operating table for examination. The surgeons announced that he was In a serious condition, but unless complications arose, such as are fre quent in wounds of the lungs, there was a chance to nave his life. Mr. Ford’s wife and mother went with him to the hospital and re mained by his bedside. Probably no man of his age in At lanta has a wider circle of friends than Alf Ford His unfailing good humor and his ability to win new ac quaintances and convert them Into friends has made him liked by thou sands of Atlantans, and messages of regret over the accident poured into the hospital Wednesday.
