One of the great athletic events OF the
near future will be the annual, lndl-
vidual all round championships OF the
limited States at New York, June 28.
Since the retirement Of such great ath-
letes as Malcolm w. Ford and A. A.
Jordan, who held this championship be-
tween them for seven years and VINO
furnished many Il contest OF absorbing
interest, less attention has been paid to
the all round competition.
Last year NJ. O'SulliVan, OF the IA
vier Athletic club, New York, won the
event. Not long ago he joined the
New York police force, and his duties
as zone Of the finest" may prevent him
from defending his title this month.
Among the probable contestants are ID.
Long. of Boston, and Fl. II. Morrell,
George Schwegler, E. w. Golf and j.
J. Mooney, Of New York. Last year
Morrell was second to Champion O'Sul-
liVan.
Lovers of games that require head
work alone will be interested in the
great whist congress at Chicago i've
DAYS, beginning June 20, and the meet
ing of the National Cribbage Association
at Lima, O., June Is. The features OF
the whist congress will be the attend
ance of ~"Cavendish," the world famous
authority on the game. His real name
is plain Henry Jones, but he has forgot
ten more about whist than many al
legged experts actually know. That Mr..
Jones is broad-minded and never consid-
ers himself too old to learn is shown by
the fact that only a few years ago he be-
came q convert to the system OF Amer
lean leads" originated by Nicholas b.
Trist, of New Orleans.
The promoters of the congrese, which
will be the largest ever held, are plan
ming to have Messrs. Jones and Trist
contest with two of the strongest men
who attend the sessions and show the
beauties OF their favorite styles OF play
In difficult situations, especially ar
ranged for the occasion. The congress
will be held at the Chicago Whist club,
and 1t is expected that % clubs will en-
ter teams for the Forrest Championship
cup. Under the rules arranged by j.
T. Mitchell, of Chicago, each team will
be compelled to play the hands OF its
competitors. The consideration OF luck
will thus be eliminated from the con-
test, and every team will stand on Its
merits alone, for the reason that 1t will
have to fight with the same weapons as
it opponents,
Dali Lock of Waterloo, Ind, Is presi-
dent OF the National Cribbage associa-
ton. George Piander Of Defiance o., is
vice-president, and G.. E. Uteley OF War
saw, Ind, is secretary and treasurer.
The feature Of the associations meet
ing will be the contest for a diamond
badge.
In the tennis world woman will skill
fully WELD the racket this month. The
annual tournament OF the fair sex will
be held at Philadelphia, beginning June
20. The present lady champion OF
America is Miss Mabel 4. Cahill, OF the
New York Tennis Club. Miss Cahill Is
a plucky young Irish girl, who has only
been in this country about three years,
but who was as quick to distinguish
herself on our tennis courts as her
countrymen are TO rise in American
politics. She captured the national
singles championship for ladies in the
very first tournament she entered. She
has held the title two years and will
again defend 1t at Philadelphia.
Miss Cahillis most formidable oppo-
nent will undoubtedly be Miss Bessie
Moore Of the Hohokus Valley IN. j.
Tennis club. She won the all Corners
ladies' singles last year, challenging
Miss Cahill for the championship and
made a most creditable but unsuccess-
