tournament at Atchison. This associa-
tion WAS organized a Kansas City last
august for the purpose of holding al
ternately at 2tchison and Kansas City
an annual open tournament in which
players from any state might partic-
ipate. No open tournament will there
fore be held at Kansas City this year.
Two years ago the Atchison club held
a tournament under the auspices of
the Kansas State Tennis associa ton.
which exceeded in point OF entries even
that of the national tournament at
Newport, there being 80 in singles.
The affair created so much interest
that the dailies of Kansas City and
Topeka had reporters on the ground
each day and columns were devoted to
the social and athletic aspects of the
tournament.
This year the prospects are bright
for an even more successful tourna
ment than that of two years ago, and
already the committee has acceptances

Boston, Aug. 1.-Two American and
two British tennis players, w. A. Larn-
ed and H. D. Wrenn, and K. f. and H.
L. Doherty, will cross racquets on the
courts of the Longwood Cricket club to-
day in the first of a series of matches
for the international tennis challenge
trophy presented three years ago by
Dwight E. Davis. This is the third at
tempt which British players have made
to lift the Davis cup. On the first year
that it was offered the foreigners were
badly beaten at Longwood. year ago
the two Dohertys with DIR. Joshua PIN
made another bid for the cup and won
two of the five points necessary for its
possession. The British team this year
is again made up of the two Dohertys
and H. S. Mahony as a third member.
1t was announced this afternoon that
the two Dohertys would play in both
single and double matches, leaving Ma
hony as a substitute in case of accident.
Two matches will be played this after
noon, each beginning at 8 o'clock. Lard
will meet r. F. Doherty, the elder of the
two brothers, while Wrenn will face H.
L. Doherty, the present British cham
pion. On Wednesday r. d. and G. L.
Wrenn will play the Doherty brothers
in doubles. and on Thursday if the con-
test had not been decided before that
time there will be two more matches in
singles, Larned playing H. l. Doherty
and Wrenn meeting H. F. Doherty.
Each match will count as one point and
the majority will decide the contest.
The defeat of r. F. Doherty by Larned
in the internationals last year at New
port makes the latter the favorite in
their match, but the well known
strength of the brothers in doubles leads
to the belief that they will be successful
over the Wrenn brothers on Wednes-
day There is much speculation, there
fore as to the outcome of the match
between r. D. Wrenn and H. L.

MAY PARDON JESSIE MORRISON
Rumored That Governor Bailey Will
Release Her Soon.

Leavenworth, Aug. At is persistent
" rumored here that Governor Bailey
will pardon Jessie Morrison from the
state penitentiary at the end of the
present year. Governor Bailey paid
Miss Morrison a visit in her cell Mon
day afternoon and when he went away
the little prisoner appeared in better
spirits than she has since she was
brought to the penitentiary. 1t is not
known what the governor said to Miss
Morrison. but it was very evident that
ne said something that tickled her i'm
mensely- He said. when questioned,
that he did not talk about Miss Nor
rison's case at all. but merely called on
the woman to pay his respects.
One report says Governor Bailey is
going to pardon Miss Morrison because
his wife wants him to do SO.

This challenge, if made good by Bishop,
will undoubtedly put an end to all the
talk that Herrera sidestepped Corbett
in Butte last winter. Bishop goes on to
say that Eddie Hanlon has refused TO
meet Herrera in San Francisco on the
night before the Corbett- Jeffries fight,
but that the proposed bout between
Herrera and Joe Bernstein is still pend
ing and will probably be clinched TO
come off in Salt Lake City. Young
Corbett says that he will readily take
on Herrera If the latter means BUSH
ness and will fight him anywhere Tor
as large a bet as the Mexican cares to
make.
