LAWN TENNIS GILMAN
Struggle for international Cham
pionShip at Hand.

The climax Of the lawn tennis season is
promised for the next two weeks. and American
players are much disturbed over the formidable
team that has come from abroad to win the
international championship and Davis chal-
lenge cup This trophy given by Dwight F.
Davis, Of st. Louis in 1900 and has been held
here ever SINCE despite three previous chal-
lenges from abroad
Last season the famous Doherty brothers,
with DR.. PIN, met the pick of the American
players at Bay Ridge, and were beaten after
close finish by three matches to two. This sea
they have come again. and with them ara
Captain W. II. Collins, president of the English
Lawn Tennis Association and captain of the
challenging team, and H S. Mahony, Irish
player who formerly held the all-EngIand
championship. Some American players are in
clined to think that Mahony's part in the inter-
nationals is to be only that of a substitute and
that the Doherty brothers will play in both
singles and doubles if they stand the heat.
Under the international regulations which
govern the matches the Englishmen have the
right to select any of the three players they
have named. and the choice lies with Captain
Collins He was criticised at home in the t@u
after his team had been beaten, for not allowing
the Dohertys to play in the singles we'll as
in the doubles and many Englishmen believe
they would have won the Davis cup if this had
been done. Mahony Is not rated even so strong

He was its designer, but when he his idea
wrought in bronze he could not conceal his dis
appointment
''The captain has limp in the knee" he said,
as he studied the figure. He looks as if one of
his Monitors guns had struck him" Finally
Mr.. Hartley learned that his clay model had
met with an accident and that the knee had
been crippled in the casting of the bronze. In

to let Ericsson hold a model of the Monitor

the sculptor had to bow to the wishes of its
representatives. Now Mr.. Hartley, at his own
expense, has replaced his first work with
statue larger and as ne believes, far nobler.
The new figure grasps a model of the Monitor
in his left hand, and in his right a scroll en-
graved with the lines and curves of the original
design. For several days before it was placed
its pedestal and shrouded for the unveiling
ceremony the frequenters of the park had
chance to gaze at Mr.. Hartley's new work.

AN ESSAY ON LUMP JAW.
Where Ii Came from and Its Effect
ON Dusty GuIch.

on Dusty GuIch.
From the Topeka Journal.
v htre the lump IA v came from nc
tody krew. The editor over nj E"d ! og
thought that the rivelt the editor of the
Dusty Gulch Bazoo," brought it with
him from the effete east, where grip,
lump jaw, ennui, SPAWN and corns were
popular. The editor of the "Bazoo" de-
MED the charges and denounced the" Red
Dog" editor as contemplate cur in
the next issue of the Dusty Gulch
paper.
Contemplate cur was not in the
lexicon of words which were the cause
for a shooting, and it was not until the
"Bazoo" editor called the Red Dog
publisher a plan, unvarnished liar
that the matter was settled. Then the
funeral of the editor from Dusty Gulch
was held and the ''Bazoo' was combined
with the Red Dog Barker"
The combining of the two papers had
much to do with the Punishment of the
unfriendly feelings that had always ex-
listed between the town people of Red
Dog and the citizens of the Dusty Gulch
community ever since the day that
Wyoming Wallace, of Dusty Gulch had
handled Tuscon Charley of Red Dog, a
black bottle filed with tomato catsup,
spiked with capsicuIn, which Tuscon
Charley supposed was pure Bourbon
and which he put to his lips and almost
drained before he knew the difference.
OF course, Wyoming Walace's funeral
would have been held the next day if
Tuscon Charley had been quick enough.
But the hammer of his Colt caught in
the loose folds of his hunting shirt, and
lit was his funeral which called for a
salvo of revolver shots the next day, and
it was his pony, saddle and bride that
the Probate Judge had to sell to pay
the funeral expenses.
That a Dusty Gulch man would make
a Red Dog man drink catsup and then
shoot him besides was more than Red
Dog could stand,and for years the citi-
zens of the two towns had looked for
each other over every rise and had sa-
luted each other with well-directed
shots. The country between Red Dog
and Dusty Gulch was mighty I'M
healthy for several years, because OF
the stray bullets.
1t was unhealthy until the lump jaw
came to the country and the long horns
had their jaws swelled up bigger than
a bundle of steer hides ready for ship
ment
But with the consolidation of the two
papers came the passing of the enmity,
and when the Mayor of Red Dog sent
q case of canned tomatoes over to the
Mayor of Dusty Gulch and the Mayor
at the Gulch sent back a case of the
best whiskey there was in the camp
the trouble ended. The old mp-jawed
cattle days marked the new era in the
Black Jack region.
