This Years Southern Championship

Yesterday was the star day of the south
courts as 1t brought out the two leaders for
championship honors, Paret and Davidson.
Davidson had already captured two cham

cup. Paret has won one and his victory
yesterday makes his chances as good as
his opponents for final possession Of the
trophy.
At the beginning Of the matches David
son went away from his opponent like a
thoroughbred from cart horse, winning
two sets right off by the scores Of IS and
10-S But Paret never weakened for a
minute and the fast play told on Davidson,
with the result that he quit dismally and
allowed his opponent to win out handily
by the scores of &c, Go and 6-3. Should
these two players come together again next
season the games will be unusually inter-
esting as the trophy cup will go to the win

Timely Notes and Comments of the
National Game.
CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

Charles kid" Mccoy got the decision
Chicago, at the finish of their six-round
fight. The two rivals for midde-weight
honors weighed in at o'clock. Mccoy.
with a heavy undershirt on, barely tipped
the scales at the stipulated weight-15S
pounds. Ryan weighed about 1874 pounds.
The first event on the card was scheduled
for $50. but by S o'clock every seat and
available bit of standing room was occu-
pied and long lines of anxious sports were
in line at the various entrances clamoring
for admission. 1t was the biggest crowd
that has gathered in Tattersalls in years.
Betting on the fight was not heavy. Nc
Coy was hot favorite at to 1, with but
little Ryan money in sight. There was.
however, considerable money bet at the
ringside that Syracuse Tommy would stay
the six rounds.
Not the least interested spectator of
this bout was Jim Jeffries' father. the Rev.
A. c. Jeffries. who saw a fight for the first
time.
1t was 1890 pm. before Mccoy. attended
by Billy Stiff Harry Harris. Homer Selby
and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien as seconds,
climbed through the ropes and took the
northwest corner of the ring. A few mo-
ments later Tommy Ryan, accompanied by
Harry Gilmore, Jack Jeffries and Pat
Early. climbed into the ring amid roar
OF cneerS, and walked over to the south
east corner. Mccoy entered the ring with
his hands heavily bandaged. and over
Ryan's insistance that the bandages be re-
moved a wordy contest ensued between the
seconds.
For nearly ten minutes. amid the Kisses
of the crowd and shouts of Take 'em Off,
Mccoy sat silent in his corner, refusing to
take the tape from his hands.
The articles allowed soft bandages, but
Ryan insisted that the tape on Mccoy s
hands were much harder than allowable
Finally George Siler and two members Of
the press were agreed upon by both to set
tie the dispute. THAT tape is all right"
said Siler, and Ryan in disgust walked back
to his corner.

The EtOn Coat.

The coats of fashion are the Elton and

them double-breasted. buttoning with two
handsome buttons nearly under the arm.
Lapels decorate the vest and display the
waist underneath. Lapels of contrasting

Unstable. different sets being worn with
each boiero.
The Elton, which is so closely related to
the bolero, has far departed from Its En-

One of the latest notifications of this

newer Etons are not only collarless. but
have the fronts with deep curves toward
the waist line. The square of rectangular

A notable feature this spring is the
prevalence Of the soft and clinging fabrics.
Among the more elaborate and elegant
gowns which will make their debut later
will be those of satin de Paris. This mate

WHEELING WITHOUT EFFORT.

quite easily, and that from the waist up
her body does not move. 1t is maintained

speed out of the wheel that she is capable
of. and If she practiced the Objectionable

troubles women cyclists have. The gears
are altogether too high. In the effort TO
keep I'D with their stronger brethren, Wo-
men cyclists are riding gears anywhere
from seventy to eighty-four. whether
through carelessness or because they think
there is demand for them, most makers are
equipping women's wheels with gears above
seventy. This reprehensible practice Will
eventually do more to unpopularize the BIZ
cycle than any amount of talking will undo.
AS soon as the point where cycling Is an
easy exercise is passed, harm Is being DONE
When a woman looks ungraceful on
wheel in nine cases out Of ten the fault lies
in the gear of her bicycle. In the years
when a gear in the neighborhood of sixty
was considered high for a woman there
were far more women riding wheels than
there are today. 1 would advocate the use
of a f1fty-two gear for a woman who finds
difficulty in pushing a higher one. 1t is
foolish to argue that 1t is not pleasanter to
make more revolutions OF the pedal with
less muscular effort.
''If agents would only realize that they
are defeating their own interests when they
advise big gears for womenS wheels think
they would stop 1t. Doctors realize that BIZ
cycle riding, as long as it does not become
too great a strain upon woman's
physique, Is the finest exercise in the world
for them. Its main point Of excellence over
other sports lies in the absence Of effort
and in the exhilaration the rapid motion
produces. This, of course. is increased as
hard. Women should never ride a wheel
heavier than twenty-five pounds, and it
should be kept always in the easiest rum
ming condition. Most Of all, they should
reject all advice tending to increase the
size Of the gear above seventy"
