STEADY BEATS BRILLIANCE
L/C: Andrews ("A"- Com pany) won the Championship of the South Wales Borderers Tennis Competition yesterday, when he beat Pte. Ronun (D" Company) 7-5, 9-6, 6-3 in the Final at the Army Tennis Ground.
Among those watching were Lt.. Colonel G. T Raikes, the Com- manding Officer, Major Lockner, Caps. and Mrs, Gottwalz and other officers and & large number of N.C.O.'s and men.
The result of the match was somewhat unexpected, as Ronan ap. peared to be the better player all through but he was too aggressive and enger to attack, and by con- sistently steady play Andrews took advantage of his opponents rashness had forced him into errors,
The first set was evenly contest- ed, games going with the service, Bill the eleventh, when Ronan seemed suddenly to stack off and allowed his opponent to take two successive games for the set,
En..the second set Ronan, serving at a fine speed, if somewhat erratically, met with hardly any apposition, but in the final stanza he again dropped off and the match ended rather tamely.

This case, however, only illus trates a problem, more pronounced in other sections, for actually it was the first, defeat experienced by Mr. Foley's office. Although he has heen in office only about four months he, chiefly through Mr. William H. Jackson, Assistant Dis trict Attorney, has sent 29 racket eers to prison, and has practically put an end to their activities in his country, which reaches from the Harlem River to the Westchester County line.
Since it is only on the testimony of persons who have been victims of racketeers that conviction cun be had in the courts, Mr. Foley bas employed every legal means to protect his witnesses and to induce citizens to come forward and testify.

GLIMPSES OF GREAT PEOPLE
Sir William Crookes.
{BY JULIAN B. ARNOLD.)
There is a stage in our early years when, our chins barely reach the edge of a table. We envisage objects thereon as of two dimen sions. Nevertheless it is a recep the age. Impressions are then ac quired which are indelible and may profoundly affect our after lives. I call to mind an instance of this kind when I watched,, under the above limitations of "stature and Sir.

nesses.
Mr. Foley's grand jury system of questioning witnesses has been up bold by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court four different times over the arguments of the best lawyers the rackoteers - could engage.
"Useful Weapon.
Another weapon employed by Mr. Foley is the "conspiracy to coerce" provision of "the New York State criminal law through which persons present at a place at which violence has been committed are liable to
arrest.
One effective means used by Mr. Foles to prevent intimidation of witnesses is to lock them up in jail as the law provides when necessary, and induce the court to fix the bail so high that even a racketeer finds it difficult to meet it. This was done in the case of the witness in the poultry racket, when Mr. Foley, upon learning that someone wanted to give the $25,000 bail for the men, persuaded the judge in the case to place the aggregate bond at $1,300,- 000, and so kept the his witnesses for the trial.

"We Will Go to Any Langth."
"We will go to any length to break up the rackets in the Bronx and to make it expensive and in- convenient to practice any kind of extortion or intimidation in this country," Mr. Foley said:

When examining the residue left. over from the manufacture..of sul phuric acid, Crookes had observed that it gave in the spectrosespa bright green line, which had not previously been noticed. He inves tighted this indication and, after many failures, succeeded in isolat ing a bow element, which he rained. thallium, Then determining the atomic weight of thallium by the uso of a vacuum, he found that it was heavier when cold than when hot; and pursuing these researches. he devised the principle of the radiometer with the special purpose of ascertaining if light might not have the property of creating mo. tion.
So it happened that upon that library table Crookes was working at his problem, watched by an observant if small assistant. .He inserted within vacuum glass bulb, similar to the modern incan descent electric light bulb, four amall squares of tale, arranged like the arms of a windmill, and bal anced on the point of a needle, driven into a cork. Lacking some temporary support for the contri- vance, he bade me find him some thing into which he could fix the stem of the bulb. I accordingly brought to him from the dining room the only likely articles which I could commandeer in my haste- a half-emptied bottle of claret and 4 silver candlestick. As I offered my alternatives he selected the latter, saying

Enigmatical was his reply.
"None may confidently say as yet. Bot. I think that the motion may be caused by repulsion from radiation, or possibly light itself may be transformed to motion."
Long after, being again with Crookes, I reminded him of the day when, as a boy, I had asked him to tell me what made the tale vares of h's radiometer revolve in the proximity of light, and of the reply which he had given to me.
When all was ready he struck a lucifer match and held it so that its flame was about three inches from the bulb.
