June 18—John Hennesey, youthful Indianapolis tennis player, today defeated J. B. Wheatley, Englishman, three sets to one. The scores, 7-5. 6-2, 4 6 and 7-5. It was one'of the games in a series between American and British players. o “FIGHTING BOB” SUCCUMBS TO A HEART ATTACK (Continued from Page One) took up the cudgel to fight what he believed to be corruption in government. Despite his ago ho stumped the country to the rim of the middle west. He did not live to see the legal outcome of the sensational oil battle. His strenuous efforts brought him but thirteen electoral votes from his home state and the day after election found him weak in health. Politics next stripped him of all the honors of his long political serv ice,. First he was ousted from the republican party of the senate by a vote of his party caucus, then he was shorn of his seniority honors, dropped as chairman of the manufacturers committee; his clerks were taken from him; he was forced to give up his preferred offices in the senate office building and take an undesired office like a newly elected senator. He came hack to take his place fighting in the ranks just as he had fought for 40 years. It was almost like the war days when he was "the lone man of the senate” —ostracised and denounced because of his opposition to the United States entrance into the war. > Lafollette went to Palm Beach last winter and came back this spring tanned and feeling much better although it was apparent that he had not fully recovered. The strenuous ness of his career dug deep lines into the face which only the final rest could ease. During the two years of congress closed iast March, Lafollette wielded the dominating influence upon important legislation. With his little group of followers in the house and senate, he held the balance of power between republicans and democrats. Whichever of the parties he aligned his forces with, was assured of a majority. It was the Lafollette group 'which combined with the democrats to write the present tax law against llm desires of the present administration. With the last congressional elections. however, his hold was weak i ened and his possibility of controlling the new congress which meets in December was negligible. o New Castle. — John S.
