TENNIS AT LONGWOOD.

BOSTON. July 2s.-One of the most
interesting international tennis matches
ever seen on this side of the water was
played Tuesday afternoon in the tour
nament Of the Longwood Cricket club
at Longwood and resulted in victory
for the American expert over his Brit
ish opponent after four brilliant sets
had been played. William III. Larned of
Summit. N j.. on whom. IL is said, rest
the hopes Of this country in retaining
the United States championship at New
port next month. is the young man who
proved too much for the eX-English
champion, Harry s. Mahoney, and JUS
titled by his brilliant work the conf
dence which is now repOsed in him.
Play started promptly, with Larned
serving, and an out, pass, net and
another pass gave him the game in
short order.
Mahoney took the next game through
errors by Larned and followed IL up
with four more games in succession,
making the score 10 I. Then Larned
took a brace and put four games TO his
credit making Il five in all. Here, how
ever. he fell off badly in his play, drlV-
ing into the net or out Of court. so that
Mahoney had no trouble in taking the
set.
Larned took the first game in the
second SET but the next went TO Ma
hony. and then for a whole tx was nip
and tuck until ii was two games all.
Then Larned started off on terrific
pace, passing Mahoney repeatedly, and
playing the balls well out OF reach with
a speed that was simply marvellous. He
gave Mahoney just one more game in
.his set. and then rounded IL off in fine
style. 6--3.
Larncd, having shown just what he
could do in the second set started the
third with the idea of doing up the
BTitisher i'm as short order as possible,
and IL must be said that he accom-
plished his task easier than was antici-
pated. Mahoney was absolutely unable
to return his lightning-like drives, and
while fighting manfully against the
matChless tennis of the American was
at last forced TO give IL up, and the
third set went 60 the Summit man, -.
After another terrific pace the fourth
set was a farce, and the American
rounded out the set and match with
half a dozen brilliant strokes. The score
i'm the last set was Go.
The other matches Of the day. while
not perhaps as mOmentous, were never
thelcss interesting Good progress was
made in the Eastern championship

BILLIARDS ON THE BOAT CD

Lets have "a game OF billiards,
Amos." said Charley Bassett. the sec
ond baseman.
"AlI right" replied the pitcher.
Where's the billiard room?" They told
purser and then they roared when
Amos came back with the information
that "the room was closed for the
night"
1t was pretty stormy out and the boat
began to roll. Glasscock, Denney, Bas-

What are these preservers, any,
way?" Amos asked. Then they took
him to his stateroom and told him to
stand erect. Denny and Glasscock had
brought life preservers from the other
staterooms, so that they were able to
literally envelop Amos in cork belts.
The preservers were put on, too, over
the big pitchers street clothes and he
was finally lifted into birth like n
bag OF salt. An hour or so later Denny
came to the window Of Amos's room
and shouted through the blinds:
She's a-sinking! Keep perfectly
still and lie on your back." Amos fol-
lowed these instructions to the letter,
also supplementing them by not clos
ing his eyes all night. When the team
got to Boston in the morning he whis-
pered to Glasscock:

SPORTING WORLD.


FALL RIVER. Mass, July 2s.-Pitch~
er Todd was again a stumbling block
in the path 81 the champions Tuesday
when he went i'm against them with the
determination OF winning the game.
Manager Smiths team had not won
a game in a week and when the boys
went out for practice he gave orders
that they play ball from beginning To
end. and they did.
Tom Sanagan was on the rubber
for the home team and he was even
more OF a puzzle TO the visitors than
was Todd to the home team, and his
backing UP was little better, but he
had the misfortune to allow the Ma
rooms TO bunch their hits in the fourth
inning and win the game.
The home team started off like win
ners, but Todd remembered his Brock
ton experience and stopped the work
OF the Indians when two runs had been
scored.
But Flanagan held his own and after
the fourth not a run was scored by
either side. The score:

turned TO their reservations. The Gov
ernor promptly wired the Indian agent
At Ross Fork Agency to recall his
charges at once and also wired informa-
ton Of the situation to the secretary Of
J he Interior and to Senator Heitiied at
Washington. Concerning the situation
on the prairie. the Boise Statesman says:
IL appears that these intruders are
from number OF reservations. While
The majority are Banuocks, some Of
them are from the Lemhi agency. some
from Nevada and some from Oregon.
The gathering of Indians from these
widely separated points gives credence
TO the charge that they are indulging
in ghost dance. 1t will be remember

tothe INDEX scribe no longer ago than yes

'induce some individual or company to
put in saw mill and quar'z mill a. En-

velopment Of the West View mining
district will create big demand for

TO supply that market Lumber can be
manufactured here and delivered at the
mines more cheaply than from any
other point and the benefits that wonld
accrue to the town would be enormous.
