EXCITING COURT TENNIS.
Joshua Crane Defeated T. Suffern Taller
in Contest at Tuxedo.

The second annual amateur court tennis
championship tournament of the United
States for the gold racquet, under the
management of the Tuxedo Tennis and
Racquet Club, opened at Tuxedo Park, n.
Y, yesterday. The chief interest of the
day conferred in the match between Joshua
Crane, the amateur champion of the Unit
ed States, and T. Suffern Taller, champion
of the Tuxedo Club. Mr. Crane has been
considered for the last three or four years
as in class by himself and has easily
beaten all Corners. Therefore the great
fight that the Tuxedo champion put up
against him was very creditable, and was
received by the audience with hearty APP
plause.
In the first set there were many long and
brilliant rallies, and most of the games
ice terrific. The play became close
and exciting, and there seemed very little
to choose between the form of the players.
In the third set Mr.. Taller played all
around Mr.. Crane, forcing and playing for
the grille with deadly accuracy. In the
| fourth and last set the games reached
| 5-aIl Mr. Taller still playing strongly and
| Mr. Crane playing arxiously, but at this
| critical period all the luck of the game
seemed to go in the amateur champions
| favor. The crucial point, which would have
made the games 6-all and would have
| probably decided the set and possibly the
match in Mr.. Tailer's favor. was decided
| by mistake in favor of Mr.. Crane. but the
| local player generously refused to appeal.
Following are the summaries:
Charles L. Sands, New York, defeated William
Dinsmore jr. Ga, 81, 60; Joshua Crane de-
| feated I. Suffern Taller, 81, 20, e.. 10; f.

Harvard's strength test record went by
the boards again yesterday at Cambridge,

figures established last year by F. w. c.
Foster. The new ecord shows total of
3S4 .025.S foot pounds. or 81. 900 more than
the old record. which is considered most
remarkable.
Christensen's record was made under the
new system which Dr. d. A. Sargant es-
tablished last spring. and which is con-
sidered test Of endurance and speed, as
well as strength. No apparatus IL used in
the test. which consists wholly of free
movements.
Christensen was able to do the exercise
of bending the body at the hips with the
arms stretched above the head $50 times

Sprint Led by Moran.

The features Of yesterdays and last
nights events at the six-day bicycle race

squirt on the part Of Moran to regain the
lap which he and Keegan lost early in the
race. 1t was not until the end Of the fifth
mile that Leander caught him and he fell
back with the field. 1t was the most thrill
Ing sprint of the race and 1t brought out all
the reserve energy In the racers.
In the furious sprint Gougoltz and Franz
Krebs were repeatedly Tapped. and the COL
ored team. Dove and Hedspeth. fell away
behind The other leaders hung on only by
the hardest kind Of riding. Some of the
riders are beginning already to show the
effects OF the terrible strain Munroe be-
Heves he Is to be electrocuted, and every
time he IL lifted half awake to the wheel
he takes 1t for tho death chair and yells all
sorts Of incoherencies.
Rail birds offered sums from SO to $25
for the winners Of short races. Leander
took most Of the money. The management
discovered yesterday that there were 500
men and boys In the building who had been
there since the race started They looked
more haggard than the riders. and got their
first breath Of fresh air when they were
routed out by the police.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Stewards to Investigate the Running
of Mynheer.


The stewards of the Crescent City Jockey
Club detected something peculiar in the
running of the horse Mynheer in the open
ing race at New Orleans yesterday, and as
a result they are now Investigating the
change Of form displayed by the horse.
Mynheer raced in the ownership name Of
F. G. Altman. Well backed at Is to /, he
won the first race on the program in a
whirlwind finish by neck. There was a
great struggle for the possession of this
event between four of the seven contest
ants, and at the end the quartet were
aligned across the track, with only small
margins separating the nrst and fourth
horses.
Mrs. Frank Foster, the little blind FLY,
jumped off with the LEAD and made the rum
ming until the last two strides. De Reszke
and Captain Arnold mace strong bid to
catch her in the stretch but failed. Just
when Mrs Frank Fosters hackers were
vociferously declaring her the winner
Mynheer came with great burst of speed
on the outside, and, gaining ground rapid
ly, nipped the race on the post by a neck.
In his previous race here Mynheers form
was very bad.
Big Ben, DOC" Streets fast sprinter,
made amends for his defeat by Frank Bell
Wednesday, and won the handicap for all
ages in race-horse style He went to the
front when Starter Fitzgerald released the
barrier, and, racing under a snug rein, led
his field by open daylight throughout the
journey and won by two lengths Some of
the pessimistic plungers who bet on Big
Ben when he lost scoffed at his sudden
speed, and pointed significantly to the fact
that he had been backed from 2 to l down
to even money Friends in close touch
with the stable backed Big Ben. and were
jubilant when he passed the post a winner.
Birdwood won the last race after many
mishaps He was interfered with in a jam
on the first turn. This compelled Hyams
to pull up and take the overland route. AL
though he had to run at least forty yards
further than his rivals, he proved equal to
the task, and reached the winning post in
time to beat Badger out on the post by
nose.

OPENING OF SCHOOL STREET.
Commissioners Favor Bill Therefor Be
fore the Senate.

The Commissioners today forwarded to
Senator Gallinger, chairman Of the Senate
District committee, a favorable report with
reference to the bill introduced during the
extra session of Congress. providing for the
opening Of School street in Mount Pleasant,
with the recommendation that the measure
be passed. The bill was referred to the
District authorities for report as to it's
merits and the propriety Of its passage.
The Commissioners state in their report
that 1.-The street Is at present cul de sac,
having no opening on public highway at
its southern end. A public school building
is located at the southern end of the street,
and the children living toward the south
and west have to go long way around to
reach the school building. Moreover, it Is
difficult for fire engine to reach the school
in case of fire. The principal advantage of
the opening, however, win be to the ada
cent property. The lots to the north and
south are very deep, so that the street is
desirable to form lots of ordinary depth for
residences The bill provides that the
amount awarded as damages shall be as
sessed as benefits on the adjacent property.
1t also provides the sum of $500 for ex-
penses of the proceeding. The value of the
property to be acquired Is estimated at $10,-
900. Some portion of this amount will have
to be paid as damages, but a provision has
been added to the bill by the Commissioners
that the assessment for benefits shall be de-
Quoted from the damages and only the diff
ference paid. This is in accordance with
general provision to the same effect con-
tanned in the District appropriation bill for
1903. AS the entire amount Of damages
must in accordance with the bill, be as
sessed as benefits. the cost to the District
should eventually be only the cost Of the
proceeding On account of the advantage
the proposed street will be to the school.
and as the entire cost Of the proceeding ex-
cept expenses Is to be borne by the property
benefited, the Commissioners recommend
favorable consideration of the bill"
