The geographical center for
the capital has been an expen-
sive experiment for the tax
payers of South. The extra
mileage that has to be paid to
members of the legislature and
other officials each year, is q
serious waste Of money, to say
nothing of the loss of time to
those who have business at the
capital from the different parts
OF the state.

REVIVAL OF INTEREST
 IN LAWN TENNIS

"We have sold 50 per cent more tennis racquets, so far this season than for ten years past,'' said the head of the sporting goods department in a big department store yesterday. .'The game is surely on the jump Tennis was practically dead for sew eral years. but it's too good a game to go under. Golf gave it a black eye but golf is now on the toboggan, ex- cept among the experts -the people who play on the teams representing the various country clubs. The indi- vidual players no longer cut any fg- ure, and the sale of golf clubs is prac- tically nil.
 But it's different with tennis racquets. The old fellows who used to play years ago are again taking up the game, but, between you and me, they don't like the new racquets. They buy lem, try lem and then turn up with an old racquet that's all out of date, and ask to have 1t restrung. The restringing of racquet, though, is a good bit of a lottery; it may turn out all right, but more often it won't. Still, the old timers are willing to take chances. Their principal objection to the new racquet seems to be that they can't get a good clutch on the handle, which is thicker than the old pattern. Philadelphia Record.

THE PUGILISTS.
PETER GETS
 IT AGAIN
Jack Williams Once More Makes a Punching Bag of naher Jeffries in a Rage
 Other Interesting Notes

Philadelphia, Aug 12.-The bell Irish heavyweight, Peter Maher in his contest with Jack Williams last night. The Galway man had Jusb been sent to the floor of the ring by a wicked right-hander and could hardly have mustered sufficient strength to get to his feet had the round not end- ed.
 Maher was a sorry spectacle. His face was battered and bruised and al- though outclassed by his younger and stronger opponent his friends hailed him as a victor, for the reason that Williams failed to repeat the perform ances of their two previous meetings and knock him out. Maher set aside for all time any doubt as to his game ness. He gave wonderful exhibition of pluck and fought hard throughout despite the fact that Williams drove blow after blow to his face and body.
 The contest drew a large crowd, which cheered the men from begin ming to end. It was vicious battle full of hard hitting, with just a sem blance of science. Williams did most of the leading and several times had Maher down for the count.
 Tn the sixth Williams went in to finish his man and gave Maher ter rible beating. He knocked him down a half dozen times for the full count and had him staggering hopelessly about the ring, but could not finish him. Just as the bell sounded Maher was sent down again and would surely have been put out but for the end ing of the round.

JEFFRIEs IS MAD.

Champion Jim Jeffries says that he is going to tear after Munroe for all that there is in him, something that he has never done before with any antagonist. Jeff says, further:
 Munroe has talked so much and made so many mean cracks that I think he deserves just as hard beat ing as I can give him. You know that in all my fights I have held a great deal in reserve. have never had to cut loose with a punch with every ounce behind it. because I ney- CT had to go so hard as that.
 T never wanted to be brutal, and my record shows that I have never taken advantage of q weakened man to hurt him any more than I could help. I hammered Sharkey harder than any one else, for Tom was a glutton for punishment, but even then did not hit as hard as might have, for fear of possible consequences. I have always had horror of being mixed up with a killing in the ring. With Munroe I will feel no compunc- tion about slugging him as hard as can until he stops.
 He has accused me of drunken ness, of being chicken hearted and of being physically afflicted. He has acted in a low-down way for several months now, and I purpose getting good and even when we get together fn the ring.
 'He says that I will have a hard job getting to his body. I don't think so. If I can't batter down any de- fense he may, put up I am ready to retire from the ring.
 ''He says, too, that I have never knocked out my men cold, but that they have finished merely groggy.

to the insane man. He was finally asked what kind of pie he preferred for SUD- per, and he begged for gooseberry. A fine, large goosebe&Gy pie was prepared, and carefully mixed with the ingredients were morphine and medicine intended to quiet the man so that he might sleep and be relieved. When the .tdoctored" pie was given him he was selfish with 1t, and permitted no one to approach it. He ate all of it. and two hours later was quiet for the first time in several days and, while guarded by physician to note his condition, Davis slept peacefully through the night.
