The OUTL COX FOR TENNIS.


The Sudden Rise Of Young Players- Rank
ink OF the Expsrts Last season- Gossip
Of the Courts.
Interest in tennis seemed to be on the
decline last season. Many courts which
usually had been overcrowded with play
ers were almost deserted. There were
many good reasons. however, for this APP
parent loss Of drawing power for the game
In season when every sport suffered 10 q
considerable extent. So sterling an out
door amusement which may be INDUCED
in equally by men and women and is ike
wise so interesting for spectators is not
likely to languish when the slightest OPP
portunity is afforded for INDUCING IN 1t.
The absence of Wrenn and Larned from
last seasons tournaments was naturally
disappointment to all lovers of the game.
However, all such matters have their nit
igations, and this was no exception, Tor
many players were brought to the front
who would otherwise not have felt war
ranted In entering the Journeys with
these two players away the competition
was very spirited, with the result that the
standard of play among the younger set
has materially advanced, thus considerably
closing the gap that previously existed be-
TWEEN them and the top notchers.
The new champion, M. d. Whitman, and
some of the other leaders exhibited form
which would have forced either Wrenn or
Larned to put forth their best efforts.
Whitman we'll earned his position as
champion He competed in nearly all the
big events and only lost in two-the Massa-
chusetts State and the Canadian-in both
Of which Ware beat him. In these two de-
feats, however, the champion played bet
solely through lack of generalship. fault
which he succeeded in overcoming later
IN the season. The Middle State tourna-
ment first showed Whitman to good ad-
vantage. He won this historic event, fol-
lowing it up by capturing the Longwood
cup championship, the New York State
championship and the United States cham
pionship. This list of wins, with a record
of but two defeats, which were later well
atoned for, is one of which any one might
be proud
Despite the uncertain spring weather
the present season opened auspiciously.
Excepting the interscholastic tournaments
the first important meeting was the south
ern championship, which was again won
by John C. Davidson, the Washington ex-
pert Since the middle of June tourna-
ments have succeeded each other with a
rapidity that has kept the players on the
Jump. The Middle States tournament is
always the first of the big national events
A good entry list and sensational play
marked the weeks's play at the Orange
courts, where the event is annually held
Then followed the round of the summer
events-Canadian championships, the New
York State championship at Syracuse, the
Challenge cup tourney at Magnolia Beach,
Mass. The Longwood tournament is the

FOR A CHAIR OF ATHLETICS.

The recent meeting of Yale students at
New Haven to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
making radical change in the system of
athletics at the university was the natural
result of Yales recent performances in the
athletic field. 1t was suggested recently
that Yale return at once to her old meth
DDS of governing athletics, which have won
for her so many notable victories in the
past There is no inclination an the part
of Yale to return to the practice of en-
ploying professional coaches, and in that
she receives the hearty support of her
rival universities. The sentiment in the
majority of the universities now is that
the graduate coach has come to stay, and
rumor has 1t that next year will find the
present number of professional coaches
greatly decreased.
While no decision regarding definite ac-
ton in the future was reached at the Yale
meeting, the feeling of the students in the
matter was ascertained, and now the work
of the reformers will be easy. Yale wants
the graduate coach and no other. She
wants an athletic chair in the faculty; and

some Personal Traits of the "Lion of
Rustenburg.
The State historian of the South At
rican republic, Mr.. Van Oordt, has re-
Gently published history of the Trans
vaal, which contains the biographies Of
its notabilities, among them chief of
whom is the president Familiarity
known as Dom Paul, says the New
York Sun.
The founder of the family was GER
tain Jacob Kruger, who arrived in Cape
Town in 1913 as a youth of II, in the
service of the Dutch West India Com
pany. Jacob Kruger was German. A
descendant of his, Caspar Kruger, mar
ried and settled on the Bullock farm,
near Colesburg, in Cape Colony. 1t
was there that Stephanus Johannes
Paul Kruger was born on October 10,
1925. While still quite child he had
to help his parents, in his ninth year,
sometimes acting as shepherd, and
even leading the oxen yoked in the
wagon. Later, when yet too small TO
handle the heavy musket of the period,
he went after game with bow and ar
rows, and returned to the farm house
with many hare and partridge.
Then came the trek into Natal, and
he went out into the wilderness to be-
gin life of toll, care and danger. That
was the school in which he was rear
ed and in which he was trained to be
what he is. He received his baptism OF
fire in battle with the Matabele be-
fore the occupation of Vechtkop, and
took part in the repulse of the Zulus in
the attack on the lager which follow
ed the massacre at Weenen, in Natal.
At Is he became assistant field cornet,
and two years later attained full rank.
Later on he served as commandant and
commandant general, was one of the
triumvirate during the war of indie
pendence Tin 1SS0-S3,) and has been
president since the retrocession of the.
territory of the republic by Great Brit
ain. to its own government By his
people he is spoken OF as the lion Of
RMtenburg.

ii the recent meeting walter Camp, Yale.
80, was repeatedly named AZ the man for
this chair. It Is known that Camp will ac-
cept the place Il formally rendered to him
this fall, and therei is little doubt that the
offer will be made. The reforms which are
now predicted will deal with the court, or
superior governing body. Yale men believe
that their athletes this year were as cap
able as any Yale ever had. but that bad
management placed them at a disadvant-
age, which they were not able to over
come after the mistakes had been discov-
cred
With Camp in the chair. the power of
adjudication in cases of last appeal will
be taken from the hands of the undergrad
uate captains, where it rested this year; all
cause of dissension between the graduates
and undergraduates will thereby be remov-
ed, and an experienced hand will be at the
helm. This plan will necessitate the ex-
penditure of a great deal of money, but
many offers of money have been made,
and there Is little doubt that that part of
the plan will be carried out. IT Yale
creates an athletic chair, it will be the
first university to take that step, and it
will be interesting to see what success the
scheme meets with. When the exact
course of action has been decided upon it
will be frs tapplied to football.
A series of meetings will be begun at the
opening of the fall term at Yale, and the
plan will be presented to the entire body
of students for their approval. The plan
is to have Camp select all the coaches, di-
rect and criticise their work and decide
every point of dispute that comes up. Thus
the burden of the success or failure of the
entire athletic season will be upon the
shoulders of one man.

tion of administration in the Transvaal
is such that nothing can be done with
out the consent of the executive coun-
Gil. The consequence is that business
is often months in arrears. Mr.. Van
Oordt admits the evil of the Volks
raad, that more power should be dele
gated to the head officials of the gov
eminent. President Kruger, however,
is most strongly opposed to this, be-
lieving it would be dangerous in
young state circumstanced as the
Transvaal is, to intrust the govern
ment wholly to- officials. BE trust
worthy, but trust NO one" is the pre-
sident's life motto, which he often
quotes, and which is, according to his
friends, the plain wisdom of Paul
Kruger. 1t is, says Mr.. Van Oordt, the
simple philosophy of man who shirks
no duty, but only fears and doubts
whether others will do theirs.
The personal habits of President
Kruger are extremely simple. He
never takes strong drink himself, but
has said that he believes God gave man
strong drink to use, and there is no
harm in it's moderate use. Although
fairly wealthy he lives the ordinary
life of a well-to-do Afrikander, indulg-
ing neither in ostentation nor festivi-
ties. To poor burghers he has lent
money without any security, knowing,
as he said, that they We're honorable
men. In character Dom Paul is stiff
necked-obstinate some say-and full
of hardihood. This quality he has dis
played on many occasions. During the
war of independence, with only small
escort, he rode into the kraal of a
Kaffir chief who was making trouble
for the Beers, and, though he ran
great risk OF being attacked, seized him
by the neck. The result of the inter-
view, begun under such unusual cir
cumstances, was that the chief remain
ed quiet during the rest of the war.
While still youth, his gun, which
he had overloaded in order to make
sure of a rhinoceros he was hunting,
burst and shattered the top Of his left
thumb. Before he could get assistance
the wound began fostering, for he was
far distant from surgical help, and
threatened modification. He thereup-
on amputated the thumb at the first
Joint with a pocketknife, but finding
the first operation insufficient, he cut
off the second joint, after which the
hand healed. AS his biographer says:

man to 81 easily frightened" Many
stories are told illustrating his strength
OF will and endurance. OF racing con-
tests with Kaffirs lasting whole day,
and his personal strength in struggles
with animals.
AS to his place in history Mr.. Van
Oordt says. Paul Kruger has been COM
pared with Washington, with Lincoln
|. md even with Ulysses and Butcher,
Md many other illustrious historical
personages. 1t sounds well says the
State historian. but the fact remains
that he can be compared with no one.
The circumstances of his bringing up.
those in which he has gained his in
fluence and ruled over his people for
16 years, have been so exceptional that
Paul Kruger can be compared with no
other historical character. To the
Dutch of South Africa he is simply
Paul Kruger, man of themselves, born
into their troubles and tribulations,
who has contributed to their triumphs,
and is now in his last years, steering
them through new dangers.
Mr.. Van Oordt in concluding his
sketch, thus apostrophizes him:
"All peaceful lies the lion of Rus
tenburg, his eyes fixed on God, his
paw upon the flag of independence
You mark no signs of attack; only the
lion takes watchful protecting grasp
But takes care, At the first approach
of danger he erects his name and rises
up. And woe, woe to him, however
mighty he be, who dares touch the
flag of Transvaal independence. The
lion then will fight; he will defend
himself to the last drop of his blood;
and if he must fall dying and conquered
then shall it be wrapped in the vreik-
lem, which shall make the shroud OF
Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger"

WHEELING DRUMMERs WON.
The Pittsburgs were Compelled to Accept
Defeat a Second Time.


Defeat Second Time.
Up in Pittsburg the commercial trav-
elers have an organization of base ball
tossers which they regard as some
pumpkins They congregate on the
town commons every Saturday and
Sunday, for practice, and they have
come to regard themselves as a really
crack club. Some weeks ago the Smoky
City drummers gave an outing at New
Castle, and invited a team of Wheeling
drummers up for a game, lust to keep
in practice" Wheeling trimmed the
Pittsburgers in handsome style. and
they have since been clamoring for re-
venge.
They got it yesterday-got it where
Tommy wears his collar-got it in such
a form that they will hereafter devote
their attention to marbles, croquet and
top spinning.
The visitors were plum pudding for
Wheeling, and every local drummer got
a generous slice. The Wheeling boys
made some errors. as result of lack
of practice, and but for this fact Pitts
burg would have been whitewashed.
