TENNIS.
Pnret Won Three Out of Four Sets
From Little.

Saturdays tennis playing on the courts
of the Bachelors Club for the southern
championship was of high order and af-
and pleasure. The feature of the day was
the match between J. Parmley Paret of the
Lenox Tennis Club and r. D. Little. the
Princeton expert. The play was fast and
furious from the start, Paret playing a
steady, conservative game, while Little re-
sorted to the sensational. skyrocket tactics
that would have ratified any one but his;
opponent Paret won the first set after
hard play and the fourth and nfth quite
easily. owing to a tremendous let-doWn by

DISTURBED BY FOWLS.
Owner of Chickens Fined on Com
pIaint of NeighbOrs.

Aaron Bagby colored who raises chickens
in "A yard in the rear of his home at No. 81
il street northeast. was complained against
in the Police Court this morning because
his fowls disturbed the neighborhood Ap-
pleton Cady. who lives in the house adjoin-
ing Bagby's. made the complaint. 1t was
shown that Bagby had lived in the house
on street for more than ten years. and
that all this time he has raised chickens.
Mr.. cady first complained to the health de-
partment. but the inspector declared the
condition of the chicken yard was not such
as to constitute it nuisance.
Occupants of four houses were called as
witnesses and they told the court that the
growing roosters and cackling hens dis
turbed them.
Attorney John McNally. who represented
the owner Of the fowls contended that rep
lesentatives of four families were not a
sufficient number of witnesses to prove the
case. The law, he argued. says that the
nt tx ghborhood must be disturbed.
Judge Scott held to the contrary. The
judge said he thought the old law that
made it an offense in the event of a single
person being disturbed was a good one. In
view of the courts holding the defense Of
fered no testimony.
A fine of 81 was imposed. and the court
informed the defendant that he would have
to get rid Of his fowls.

Kraenzlein's Great Work Enables the
Quakers to Win Cham piOnahip.

PENNSYLVANIA University athletes won the
championships Of the intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association on Columbia Field, New
York, Saturday.
No other athlete in the association has
done what Alvin C. Kraenzlein did. On
Friday he qualified in four events-the 100
yard run. the high and low hurdles and the
running broad jump. Saturday he won
three of these events, namely, the dash
and the hurdles events. Having had to use
all his reserve strength in these events
Kraenzlein did not take part in the final
of the running broad jump. Myer Prin-
stein of Syracuse won this, with jump of
% feet inches. Kraenzlein's Jump in the
preliminaries proved good enough to give
him second place.
Kraenzlein's record stands as the best.
Ten years ago the late Walter Dohn won
three events and four years ago DR.. E. S.
Remsell of Pennsylvania won three events
at Berkeley Oval in record time. Kraenz-
lein got three firsts and second place this
year.
Almost from the beginning Of the games
there was a continuous downpour OF ram;
but the thousands of spectators remained
to see the sports. The track was, under
the circumstances, in bad condition.
Alexander Grant made a new two-mile
record by running in 8 minutes 81 3D. sec
onds and breaking his own figure OF last
year of 1O.O3 2-5. Foote and Knowles OF
Harvard alternated in the lead up to the
half mile post where they quit. Grant was
fifty yards to the good at the three-quarter
mark with Hall. Cregan and Gallagher
running in the order named. Cregan Of
Princeton quit at mile and half. He
won the mile. Mulligan of Georgetown ran
third in the 220-yard run.

Phil Geier's fielding in center was the best
work seen in the outsarden this season. The
little fellow made wonderful catch off Col

1t did not seem possible for Geier to get

made the catch. Twice after that he made
excellent forward running catches. for
which he was deservedly applauded-Cin-
