although a novice at the game. shows mp won
derfully and will be able to make things look
rather funny for Garmendia next year. He
plays brilliantly and IL one Of the coolest men
about 1t ever saw. Whatever his luck he is
never surprised at it. One OF the. best Of our
oldish players is Mr.. Lydig. who may be said
TO represent the early school Of racqueters.
These are beyond question the finest amateurs
In the country today.
II am constantly asked about the cost of
equipping clubs in other cities" added Prof
Moore. ''Ifa club has a court the rest is but a
trIte. Our courts, as You see, are rather
costly affairs-sheathed walls, markers boxes
and the rest of it. But the mere outfit of balls
racquets, rubber shoes and fannels is within
the reach of any club. The balls are all i'm
ported. although there is no reason why thew
shouldn't be made here just well as in Eng
land. They cost cents apiece. The racauets
are the very best and cost "a each. Shoes are
about the same figure, and l suppose a club
conld get flannel suits at 50 or si0 apiece.
There IS no better exercise for developing
the muscle than racquet. 1t is skill more than
strength that is required to make a good
player. One has to have all the fnesse needed
at billiards and at the same time to have
muscles strong enough to bear the modicum of
fatigue involved in n match. 1t makes the
player quick In all his movements, sure Of eve
and firm of hand. The exercise is neither too
gentle nor too severe and can be modified as
much as the player plea5es. The rules of the
game are simple enough, vet no one could pos
sbly gather wha. they are from the books pub
lishcd on the subject any more than you can
learn to box or play chess from the printed
rules. The game is fifteen points up and when
the players have reached thirteen apiece the
out player or receiver of the service has the
option of setting the game-that is, extending
II to eighteen points if he chooses. The server
stands III little square on one side Of the
court There are two such squares. From
that position he serves or hits the ball I'D
against the wall at the far end of the court
The regulation court is 63 feet by about 3115
feet. The service line Is drawn across it and
the space farthes, from the wall where the
ball is to be hit is divided lengthwise, as shown
in this diagram:

''YOu see l have to keep my hand in on my

The out player stands in one of the larger
courts ON the side opposite to the server and
takes the ball as it comes from the wall He
must hit it either before it touches the floor or
after it has bounded once from the floor. and
return 1t with his racquet against the wall in
the same manner as the server does The
server, on the first play, must make the ball hit
the wall above the high service line, which is 10
feet from the floor; if he fails it counts against
HIM. Bad service, failure to return and too
low service or too low return are what count
IN the game as points. Missing the ball while
IT Is IN the air the first rebound also count
against either player. There is a wooden board
20 inches high at the service end of the court
close to the floor, and if the ball strikes it The
sound is heard at once. This board is called
the tell tale. and to strike it counts failure.
After the opening service, the players are free to
serve or return from any point where they can
mt the ball to advantage, but the rule of one
serving and the other returning is kept ND
throughout the game. The server always has
an advantage over the man on the outside. and
as an offset the latter has the option of setting
the game an extra three points when the scores
have reached thirteen or fourteen points each
Two. three or four can play in the same game
An average game lasts about a quarter of an
hour AMI seven games constitute match which
can easily be finished in two hours TO play
the game well you have to be in first-class con

During the last two seasons several very
hne players have come 10 the front among the
amateurs. Il. :. De Garmendia is Que who has
secured championship honors. He is cool
player and rarely makes a mistake. One of the
most surprising players and yet q very clever
one Is c. D. Perkins Of the New York club. He
has an awkward guard. but is a wonderful
hitter. He never gets into position for a ball
and seems sometimes to reverse all the rules
OF the game, but be hits il all the same. His
skill and agility are the means of his success
Ed LaDontaine. jr., Is another very hard hitter
and is regarded one Of the coming great
rscQueters Of this country. Foxhail Keene

Something I'm "A Name.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 2l.-When the Ma
tional Convention Non-Partisan W. c. I.
U. assembled this morning, a telegram
from Miss Frances Willard was read, ask
ing that the name of the organization be
changed, as IT was not legal. The execu-
tive committee had considered the tele-
gram and decided that il was not officially
addressed to the president, and as the as
sociation could not change its name for a
year anyhow, no action will be taken.
In the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention lengthy section most freely dis
cussed pertained to signing a petition in
regardto closing the Columbian exposi.
on Sunday. 1t passed after much de.
bate. Gratitude was expressed TO con.
gress for recognition Of the evil effects OF
the original package system. The organ.
ization Of temperance instruction in
schools, the necessity OF vigorous work
along the line of the organization, re-
newed declaration that individual opinion
among individuals should not be
abridged and an Endorsement Of temper.

resolutions.

JAY GOULD IN CONTROL
What is Said In Railroad Circles Of The
New Deal.
INTERVIEWS WITH OFFICERS
Depew Says He Doesn't Know Any
thing About II and Can't Say
Anything for the Wander
bilt interests.

NEW YORK, Nov. T.7-Jay Gould was
seen this morning in regard TO the report
that he had got control of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa fe railway. He said the
reports were erroneous, although he ad.
mitted he owned a considerable portion
OF the Atchison stock. He said the Mis-.
souri, Pacific and Atchison had entered
into an agreement with reference TO fu-
ture business policy of the roads. They
agreed that neither shall build any com
peting roads into the territory of the other
without the full understanding and sane
tion Of the other. With reference to rates
on transcontinental lines, Gould ex-
pressed confidence that the agreement
between the presidents would be renewed
and strictly maintained within a short
time. Under this situation nearly all the
roads interested favor a restoration Of
rates. IL only remains for the bankers TO
call the presidents together.
1t is authoritatively learned to-day that
ameeting Of the principal stockholders of
the Union Pacific for the reorganization
of the board will be held next week. II is
understood that Charles Francis Adams
will retire and be succeeded by Sidney
Dillon. The new board Of directors will
include Russell Sage, Jay Gould, Alexan'
der Orr and Henry A. Hyde. The new
board intends TO appoint some young,
active railroad man as vice president and
general manager, whose headquarters
will be at Omaha. The person to be se-
lected has not yet been determined, but
an endeavor will be made 10 secure a
man OF abundant railway experience and
highest capacity.
The Vanderbilt people admit that
Gould has got control of the Union Pa
citic. One o. the parties named di-
rector Of the board said the board will
soon be reorganized. John d. Rockfel-
Ter, working with Gould, brought the
change about. He refused To speak about
the future policy of the road in regard 10
the northwest traffic agreement.
Chauncey Depew, president Of the New
York Central, was seen tonight and asked
what the Vanderbilts would do about the
alliance.
"Well, as don't know anything about
this alliance, could not say without look
ing into il. Come around again and |
may tell YOU" said Depew.
OCmcAGo, Nov. 2l.-The Inter Oceans
Boston special says: at is rumored in
railroad circles that William b. Strong,
ex.president of the Atchison road. is
likely to succeed Adams as president of
the Union Pacific"
BosToN, Nov. 2l.-President Adams,
Director Ames and others, all decline to
say anything about the report of the pro-
posed transfer Of the Union Pacific TO the
Jay Gould interest. President Adams
says; "You may say decline to be in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-Chief Engineer
Melville of the navy, in his annual report,
which is Of great length, devotes much
space to the personnel of the engineer
corps and repeats the forebodings Of
prior reports concerning a detriment
being worked 10 the service by the small
ness Of the corps. Commodore Melville
shows that there are not enough engi-
neers TO man the new ships and says the
corps not only needs very much larger
number OF officers, but also much better

their adoption for certain classes Of ves-
sells are recommended.

IN AN ALLIANCE.
Several Western Railroad Companies Com
bine Their Interests.


New York, Nov. 2l.-It is stated this
afternoon that an alliance has been
formed between the interests represented
by George C. Magoun. of Kidder, Peabody
q Co., Jay Gould, c. p. Huntington and
the Standard Oil party, by which all rail-
roads owned or controlled by them indi-
vidually or jointly, will be operated to-
gether practically under Gould's direc-
ton. The alliance includes the Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific, Atchison, Wa
bash, Kansas & Texas, Texas Pacific and
many other roads. II is also said that
Gould is trying to force holders Of Rock
Island to either sell their stock at tle
present prices or join hands with other
roads Of the alliance. The Burlington,
Chicago & Alton will act with the allied
roads in whatever steps may henceforth be
taken, but there are fears that Vanderbilt
may be angry the loss Of their traffic
contract, or the Union Pacific may refuse
TO join. If the yanderbilts and the roads
controlled by j. Pierpont Morgan can be
brought in, meeting of bankers and rail-
road presidents q all roads in the coun.
try will be called the new association
formed and then an immediate material
advance in all railroad rates will at once
be ordered.

so free as the United States in admitting
immigration, and urges that restrictive

fact that nearly two million seven humid
red immigrants have come here within
six years, largely made up Of the undesir-
able classes. He recommends that law
