PLATTsMoUTH, Neb.. Aug. 21.-(spe-
cial)-The inquiry of the eoroner's fury

B. & M. Railroad company is in no wise to
blame for the death Of the said Stephen A..
Davis"

Surprises in Morning Play

Two OF the three morning matches in
the third round Of the championship
singles we're a surprise to most peo-
pie, the Wilder-Peters affair, because
Wilder won, and the Sa~nderson-Ray-
mond 80, because Raymond came so
near winning from the Galesburg man.
Very few people had Carter Wilder sched
uled to beat Peters, the Chicago crack, but
Just the same the Kansas City man took the
hrst and third sets, each by Ga. II was
a keen match and hard played. Peters
started in to play a hurricane game the
FIRST set. He constantly ran his serves, and
1t lost for him, as Wilder passed him time
and again on the return, while Peters was
making for the net. Wilder had good
speed on drives and was in all around good
form. He took the set on its merits, ga.
In the second let wilder attempted to
play safe and take II on a cinch, to end the
match. AS a result he lost 2-6. His try for
safe work meant a lessening Of the speed
which had won for him in the first set, and
as a consequence he was quickly CT his
game all around. Peters had an easy thing
with the set.
Wilder changed back to his FIRST game
for the third set, steaming up considerably.
Meanwhile Peters took up a constant lob
bing game. and 1t was great. too. Time
after time he dropped them in the left hand
back corner Of the court. These lobs, when
he could handle them, Wilder placed right
back to the corner on the other side. and
he won on It. The score was 6-s. Both
Chicagoans are now out Of the singles.

Raymond Of Lincoln made a stronger

FIRST three games. Ashorsft the last three.
All but the arst one we're deuce games.
Miss LOutse Pound and Isaac Raymond,
jr., Of Lincoln won from Mrs. Vaughan
Howell Of Seattle and Conrad Young Of
Omaha In a prettily contested exhibition
at mixed doubles. the score being 60. rs.
Both women played remarkable tennis, and
were generously applauded. Young was not
in form during the FIRST set, and his errors
are responsible for the one-sided score.
In the second set the teams we're matched
very evenly, and IL was nip~-and-tuck.
Young was good by that time. and Mrs.
Vsughan-Howell was superb In plnchins OF
at the net the hot ones which Raymond
and Miss Pound. two known smashers. sent
at her. Both women were extremely good
at the net, and Miss Pound laid them
back in the far corner in great style.

W. Of the points which Farnsworth won
on places were on service. one in each set.
This schedule Of analysis shows the
errors of each man. II indicates how the
points we're lost. For instance, under the
name Farnsworth, It will be seen that he
won in the first set FIVE points by placing
them where Wilder could not touch them.
Fourteen more he took on balls which
Wilder sent into the net. Three more, be-
cause Wilder drove the ball out Of court.
Two more he won on double faults by
Wilder. This gives a total OF twenty-four
points Farnsworth won, which will be seen
to correspond with the total number given
for him in the first set in the summary
preceding the analysis.
Harder Work for SandersOn.
In playing DR.. Sheldon, Sanderson seemed
always to know Just where the balls were
coming back. His victory was hardly so
sweeping as Farnsworth's, for Sheldon ran
him five deuce games, and won a total of
three. Yet It was a walkaway the whole
distance. Sanderson was playing great
tennis, and the gallery hinged on the
match. chiefly to size up Sanderson. Every
one thinks he will give Farnsworth a big
fight today He won from Sheldon 81, So,
by surprising him in all departments, play
ing an especially good net game, and
lobbing in great style. The match re-
suited:

FARNSWORTH OR SANDERSON
Interstate Trophy for Singles Championship
Lies Between the Pair.
sEHl-FINALS PROVE DISAPPOINTING
Kansas City and Chicago Cracks Fail
TO Afford the Opposition Expected
by the Large Gallery at
Field Club.

F. r. sanderson Of Galesburg. ILL.,, and
Earl Farnsworth OF Grand Island. Neb.. will
meet in the final round Of the championship
singles OF the Interstate tournament at the
Field club at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Each
won his match in the semi-lnals yesterday,
and each had an easy thing.
These two are the most popular players of
the forty entered in the tournament, and
as a consequence, no one will begrudge see
irg either win. Farnsworth was already
well known here, but Sanderson has grown
h gh in favor in the short week Of his first
visit to Omaha. From q personal stand
point the modesty OF each regarding his
proves has won them this place; as re-
CARDS the game itself, their high class of
play has done the same. They are the two
most quiet men on the grounds and the two
best players.
They will make a great match. They
play the same style of game, a defensive one.
Each prefers to win points negatively, let
ting his opponent make the desired error
by going out or into the net. Farnsworth
is 20 year OF age, Sanderson is 80; both
are college men, both members of the same
fraternity, and they are the best Of friends.
sanderson has the advantage which age and
experience bring, and he may outgeneral
Farnsworth in the long match, games being
three out of FIVE. Yet F~arnsworth showed
that his head was to be relied on when he
outgeneraled Parker Wednesday, the man
who has had more tennis experience than
anyone in the west.
Farnsworth's Easy victory.
TIL semi-fnals were both so easy that
they merit but little discussion. 1t was
expected that Wilder would give Farms
worth a game. and especially that Sander
son would have a job with Sheldon. Neither
came true. Farnsworth won 60, 81; San
derson won 6-1, 60.
Wilder seemed to have been weakened by
his victory over Peters in the morning
and could do nothing with Farnsworth,
who played his lobblng game with COM
plete success. Wilder tried to play the net,
but could not against the lobs, which he
was unable to kill safely. Wilder won but
hve points the first set, never sending a
game to deuce. In the second he took one
game. The match resulted:
