Fred as he sent the ball to the server,
and about once a game Pretty shot,
Fred
But his play changed slightly. In
stead of feeding" the ball to Fred at
the net so he could "kill'' it by his
fierce smashes, the champion began to
make his elder brother run. First to
the net. then to the base line, then to
one side. then to the other he made
the sturdy Fred carry his 215 pounds.
1t was the pace that kills Frank pulled
up to all, and after a desperate rally
Fred had to relinquish the set 81.
Frank had chased him so hard that he
had to rest before the next set Beau
tiful tennis was displayed in the sue
ceedlng sets, but Fred could not meet
the play of his brother who is a won
der
During the match Frank Eberhardt
did not serve a double fault Neither
did he win a point on his first service,
which is easy, but sure. Fred won
many points on his terrific first ball,
but he also lost several by double
faults. The brothers are the only play
ers in the game in this section who can
jump into the air and smash effective
ly at the same time. Frank is the only
one hereaboutS who can smash high
lobS from behind the service line. His
work In this respect is wonderful Such
volleying as the brothers put up in
their match has not been seen in a long
time. They not only hit the ball hard
but placed it.
Frank has long been known as prob
ably the greatest '.getter" anywhere, and
his work in getting to and returning
apparently impossible balls Saturday
drove the crowd frantic. Often the ball
passed the net at fierce speed a dozen
times in one rally, and the spectators
nearly lost their heads.
DIR. Frank Sheldon of Kansas City,
formerly of Topeka, ran off with several
prizes. He and Carter Wilder received
a pair of handsome revolvers for being
runnersup in the doubles. and a fine
fishing rod fell into his hands through
beating Sharrard 6-1, 60 in the consola-
ton singles.
There will be two weeks of tourna-
ment play in this section next year. the
Omaha tourney and the one of the Mis-
souri, Valley association at Kansas City
filing in the last two weeks in August.

HE'S STILL CHAMPION.
Fred Eberhardt an Easy Victim
for Brother Frank.

Atchison, Kas., Aug. 31.-In rafting
exhibition of tennis Frank Eberhardt
of Salina beat his brother Fred three
straight sets late Saturday afternoon
and added the title of champion of the
Missouri valley to those of champion
of Kansas and champion of the middle
west. AS the brothers tripped up Car
ter Wilder and DIR. Frank Sheldon 81,
g. and 60. in the finals in doubles
earlier in the day, they carried off all
the titles and cups distributed at the
first annual tournament of the MIS-
souri, Valley Tennis association
Frank Eberhardt downed his brother
81, So 6-2, but it was a narrowing
elimination to the four days of tour
nament play. Fred set the big gallery
wild by running it up to 81 when the
match opened. The unknoW1ng ones
thought he was going to make show
of the champion, and every stroke was
the signal for voileys of cheers
While Fred Eherhardt was amasslng
5 games to his opponents ] the formers
side line smashing was the finest ever
seen on a Kansas court. whether the
ball was on his right or left made no
difference. His backhand was as per-
feet as his forehand. and he shot the
felt back with terrific force, often but
two or three inches inside the side
lines.
Frank was absolutely imperturbable
and impressive during this, as in sue
ceeding sets. He is a sphinx and his
expression never changes, whether he IS
nomentarily losing or winning His
only words during the match were Bah,

HE is IN DOUBT.
Sheriff Myers Wonders Who Is Fran,
els Hickey.

Not long ago Sheriff Myers came down
from Jackson county after Francis
Hickey, a young Australian, who was
charged with stealing a horse from his
employer, ]. D. Elliott, of Hoyt. and
was captured "a hours later by Police
man Frank Hendricks. in Topeka. Now
Sheriff Myers is boarding Hickey at the
Jackson county Jail pending trial some
time in September
When arrested Hickey had with him
a set of discharge papers which showed
him to be an ex-soldier of the Boer war.
But with these papers were found some
the mind of Sheriff Myers as to what
name the prisoner should answer to.
Another document found on him is a
discharge from the merchant marine, of
service from January 10 to March IS,
1902, under the name of G. Wise He
also carried a Victoria service medal.
Among his papers were found indications
that he had applied to the English War
department for one of these medals in
the name of Francis Hickey, and II had
been promised to him. out on the edge OF
the medal in his possession was stamp
ed, 'Trpr. ]. Rooney, Roberts Horse
Now Sheriff Myers wants to know
whether his prisoner is Francis Hickey,
late of the Scottish Horse. q. Wise,
sailor in the Merchant Marine, or Troop
er J. Rooney. formerly of Lord Roberts
army. The prisoner is quiet and fails
to dispel the mystery. He fits the de-
scription on the papers of Francis Hick-
ey, and the sheriff thinks that the same
sickness of fingers which caused him
to steal Elliott's horse Is responsible for
his having acquired the other document
and medal from comrades at arms
Before going to Hoyt where he stola
the horse, Hickey was employed in To-
tendent of parks. He came to Topeka
from st. Louis.

come. Loans have failed to come down
from recent high figures in spite of re-
cent liquidation. This is a disappoint-
ment, and indicates continued demand
for accommodation in high quarters.
Railroad borrowings are known to be
heavy, but these do not cause concern,
being for legitimate purposes and back
ed by good credit. Indications pointed
to some of these loans being shifted to
Europe for the purpose of relieving the
imports, but our credit abroad was
strengthened by our ability to liquidate
last seasons loans, and Europe is much
more willing to give us loans than to
take our securities outright. When the
crop demands are over, which fall heaV-
lily upon this center in spite OF the grow
ing ability of the west to finance it's own
erops, this shifting of credits to Europe
will probably cease and repayment of
the obligations we are now mourning will
be in order
For long time past it has been the
fear of the money market at the COM
ing crop-moving period that has terri
fled Wall street. Now that that appre-
henSion has about worn itself out the
early frosts in September are expected
by the pessimists to do great damage
to the late corn crop. AT the present
time, however, the outlook for that
product due to the present growing
weather, is most favorable; still, it is
the corn crop that is the thing to watch.
and, as matter of fact, is about the
only obstacle in the way to an improv-
ing stock market. With good corn
crop, an equally good wheat crop and
a fair cotton yield, the producers are
assured of extraordinarily good prices
on account of the needs of Europe for
our surplus supplies of all of these pro-
ducts. This country will occupy there
by an extraordinary position in obtain
ing very high prices for exports as
against very low prices for imports of
sugar and coffee, which are now at the
lowest prices on record and which cam
not fail to give US a very large inter
national credit balance for this year
The high prices which the farmers
throughout the west and south were
able to obtain last year for their pro-
ducts have given them sufficient money
to admit of their opening bank ac-
counts which has been an unknown
thing with most of them in the past.
This should diminish the necessity for
sending during the crop-moving period.
as large supply of actual
will be a feature of considerable
consequence in connection with this
winters supply of money in Wall street.
A favorable feature in the money situa-
ton. also has been the partial removal
of the congestion that has prevailed for
some time past in the mercantile paper
market. by large purchases. recently
commenced by banks and trust com
panies. of the best names on sngnt
