Nothing has been said recently about
the lady handball players. 1t appears
that several ladies have been steadily
practicing at the Occidental under the eve
Of Champion Jones. Four of them have
developed into expert players, their toss
ing being remarkably good. They scorn
to use the soft bali. preferring the hard
ball, although at first it swelled their
hands considerably. They have given ex-
hibitOns in the presence of their own SEX
but "a vet firmly decline 20 play before a
mixed audience. Champion Jones, how
