GIL. WRENN. JR., BEATS GORE
HIGHLY INTERESTING GAME AT
NEWPORT TENNIS COURTS.
The Englishman Played a Strong,
.
Steady Game, but Gould Not
win Out.

NEWPORTt r. l., August 1S-The larg-
est and most fashionable gathering of the
week thronged thesstands about the cham
pionship court at the Casino this morning
The attraction was the semi-final round in
the all-comers tennis. tournament, in which
G. L. Wrenn, jr., met A.W. Gore of England,
and W. A. Larned played B. c. Wright.
The weather conditions were excellent.
The games went to 40 in the first set.
Gore took the next, but Wrenn evened it.
Gore won the vantage game twice more,
finally won, 81.
In the second set Wrenn was not nearly
so accurate, while Gore gathered more
speed and won easily, Wrenn taking only
the second game. Gore won, 6-1.
Wrenn was even further off form in the
| third set not winning a single game and
forcing only two to deuce. Gore, on the
other hand, steadily improved. The way the
men We're playing can be seen by the points.
In the first set Wrenn had y placed balls
In 90 points. Gore in "A. In the second set
Gore won 2s points and Wrenn y.
Each earned six. In the third set Wrenn
won only twelve points and earned but one
OF them, while Gore placed twelve of his
twenty-seVen.
Cores stroke lacked some of the force
and accuracy that 1t had yesterday. Wrenn
played his strokes as surely If not as hard
as his opponent and then ran in and placed
from the net. For almost the first time in
the tournament service was no great factor
in the win.
Wrenn came back for the fourth set with
out some of the dash that he had at first.
Gore still had an advantage in place, hav-
Ing In 20 points to Wrenn's in 30 but
try as he would he could not win. Wrenn
took three of the first four games, two
after deuce
AS he went on he gained confidence and
played with more vigor In the next he
earned of his points. Gore took the sixth
game at 30. but could get only one point
in the seventh and eigth, Wrenn winning
-6-2
Wrenn continued his determined game
In the fifth set He covered his court per-
fectly and played with the greatest steadi-
ness. Gore still held the advantage in
earned points, eight in seventeen to
Wrenn's eight in twenty-seven. Wrenn
made only nine errors in the set. To get
a point Gore had to make the cleanest
kind o place and this was not easy with
the few chances that he got.
Gore won the first game at Is. Wrenn
then took four in succession. Gore got the
sixth. his last, Wrenn's errors. The
eighth he had at 40-15 on hard passes on
the side lines. Wrenn deuced It, however.
and won place and out. Curiously
enough Gore won one more game and
three more points than his opponent.
G. L. Wrenn jr.. beat A. w. Gore, 9-7,
1-6, 0-6 60. CO.

A Secretary With n Sinecure,

From the New Orleans Times-DemOcrat.
But how about fellows who can't write o.
asked a guest who had listened to the
clerks little homiy; don't they some
times make a scrawl just for a blufr?"
Yes, I've known that to be DONE" re-
piled the clerk, smilingly. but not often.
A man who can't write finds 1t very diff
cult to make even a scrawl, and he gener-
ally gets out of registering by throwing
the blame on the pen. 4 can't use a thing
like this he will say: haven't you got a
broad stub? Nothing in the rack will an
swer, and knowing by that time how the
land lies I volunteer to register for him.
Hotels entertain a good many people who
can't write, and the bad pen comedy is en-
gagged quite frequently. OF course, the clerk
has to be very careful not to let the guest
suspect that he is on to the dodge, for
such folks are very sensitive about their
educational infirmities. / once knew a
man who paid $1,000 year solely to keep
hotel clerks from knowing that he couldn't t
write his own name. He began life as a
day laborer. drifted out west and made n
fortune through leasing a supposed worth
less mine in Montana. When he accumu-
lated about S1J0O0O he sold out and started
to travel and have good time. He was
naturally shrewd. but he had never had q
particle of schooling. and lodging regis
ters at new hotels became the chief worry
of his life. At first he used to tie up his
hand In a handkerchief and pretend it was
hurt. but he realized that the trick was
pretty transparent. and at last he employed
young newspaper man at 800 a month
to travel with him as his Secretary The
examiner never sent or received any let
ters. he didn't care for reading. and the
secretary's one and only duty was to sign
hotel registers. They would walk in to-
gether and the young chap would say def
erentially: Shall l do the registering for
G ,.Io
would reply, and he would thereupon write
Col. -- and secretary Montana Then
he could go off and play until they got
ready to leave town. 1t was the softest
job in the universe. He held 1t for several
years-infact. until his patron succeeded In
drinking himself to DEATH

SAYS PECK WAS BRUSQUE
MIR. SAYEN COMPLAINS OF THE COM
MISSIONER GENERAL.
Says MIR. Peck Ignored His Appoint
ment as Comm issiOner From
Pennsylvania.

NEW YORK. August 1S.-William Harry
Sayen state commissioner from Pennsyl-
vania to the Paris exposition. who returned
today on the steamship Lucania. says that
he as a representative of the state of Penn
sylvania. was treated with scant courtesy
by Commissioner General Ferdinand Peek.
When l went to Paris l saw Comm1s-
sioner General Peck, and showed him my
commission from the governor of Pennsyl-
vania." said Mr.. Sayen. Mr.. Peck told me
that he was a United States official, and
recognized no authority except that OF the
United States. If the governors of the dif-
ferent states chose to appoint commission
ers that was their affair. l am afraid l
might express my opinion in this matter too
strong for publication
''It has been reported from the other side
that the many state and other officials have
caused annoyance to the commissioner gen.
eral in their enGeavors to get invitations 10
different events. What is the truth of these
reports?" Mr.. Sayen was asked
II cannot answer that. For myself. 1
I asked Commissioner Peck for nothing.
and l expected nothing from him except
good treatment. / paid my way into the ex-
hibition when I went as l did elsewhere
What l did want was the freedom or the
Pennsylvania section. and on account OF the
treatment | received 1 did not go near the
United States section
THE exhibition when I was there was in
an unfinished state, and dust and dirt was
everywhere. The fair was nothing to COM
pare to that held in Chicago. In fact. the
only thing which would compare with that
exhibition was the art palace and the
bridge
Mr.. Sayen was met at quarantine by a
tug which contained party OF friends,
headed by Hamilton Moore, secretary OF the
mayor of Philadelphia

SHE SHOT A CHUTE.

And Landed Clothespin Fashion on
the Neck of an Innocent Bystander.
Correspondence ST. Louis Republic.
James b. Stone, a well-known Omaha
citizen, lies at the Presbyterian Hospital
with dislocated neck. Miss Addie Tang
ney, young Omaha girl, is responsible for
his condition. She fell through a steel
chute seventy feet long. Stone happened
to be passing the mouth of the chute AT
astrtde of his neck. occupying a position
similar to clothespin when ii is on a line
She says she is none the worse for her
meteoric slide.
Miss Addie Tangncy, twenty years old
the comely and buxom daughter of Henry
Tangney. living at 1897 Mason street be-
gan work yesterday at o'clock. 1t was
the first time she had ever worked in the
receiving depot of paper mill. and things
were strange to her. She met with sur
prises a every turn. She was surprised to
learn that the great mountains of scrap
paper with which the building is packed
are gathered from the newspaper offices
printing offices and news stands. But the
greatest surprise of all remained for her
when she found herself hurtling down a
stepless flight of stairs and playing mcgee
with man TO whom she had never been
introduced
1t all happened quickly that no one
seems to know exactly what set the train
Of circumstances in motion. This much
however. can be sworn to by at least d
score OF witnesses:
Miss Tangney was told to stand at the
mouth of the chute and throw into its hun
CRY craw armfuls Of waste paper. Sud
denly there was a scream. Twenty boys
and girls looked just in time to see the
body Of Miss Tangney shooting the chute
James b. Stone was working. 1t was his
duty to stand in the hopper of a great hy-
draulic press, arrange the trash with a
fiat surface as II descended and trample
II down. as a boy tramples hay in a new
rick. At the instant OF the scream on the
third floor he was STOPPING over his back
just below the mouth of the shaft
Suddenly there was frou-frou of fem
inine garments and then Mr.. Stone became
unconscious. Several workmen attracted
by the unwonted commotion, saw a wo-
mans form dart out of the toboggan slide
astride the mans neck. They hastened to
disentangle the couple.
The woman seemed surprised and some
