LOCAL BOYS GREAT FIGHT
Furnished Best Bout Ever Seen at
Broadway Athletic Club, Chester.

The Wilmington delegation was parti-
cularly gratihed at the showing made by
Eddie Dorsey, the l1S-pound champion
.of Delaware at the boxing tournament in
Chester last night. Billy Cainc, Of Clifton
Heights, was his opponent. The men
fought six Of the fastest rounds eyer seen
before the club. 1t was decided a draw.
but the local contingent seemed satisfied
that the Wilmington boy had the best OF
the argument.
Last night was the first time Dorsey
had fought for three years and the show
ing be made was most gratifying. Harry
Lenny, brother TO Eddie Lenny. OF con.
siderable fame and Sam Bolen, a former
sparring partner Of George Dixon, mixed
things in a lively manner for six fast
rounds. Both men showed a willingness
for the mill and kept at it from bell (.

The Spring Hats

At the present moment the spring hats
exhibited are in straw. and such a variety
Of weavcs as are to be found. The fine
braid rather stiff, Is the smartest for the
moment. and one fashion has both black
and white braid combined In the one hat.
The black and the colored straw hats to
match the costumes are (as is always the
case) to be found among the earliest de-
signs, and this year there are also in
cluded any number OF most attractive
models IN the lighter shades. Red has lost
none OF It's popularity, TO judge by the
many different models and this In the face
OF the assertion that red hats arc no longer
smart. To tell the truth. there are tive
distinct styles this season-either the hat
must be of the same color as the gown
or In sharp contrast. Black hats are not
thought smart with any color, but colored
hats with black gowns bid fair TO be
more popular than ever.

BOOM IN LAWN TENNIS
Coming Season Promises to be Ono Of
Largest IN History of Game.

Anyone who takes an interest in out
door sport is aware Of the fact that
that sterling old game called by the
rather effeminate appellation Of lawn
tennis is looking up.
During our late alteration with the
Dons the game was at it's lowest ebb
in this country. partly due TO the alb
sence Of several Of the best American
players, who were soldering for Uncle
Sam.
Since 1898 the game has been steadily
regaining its former popularity, till at
the present time 1t is now believed to
be more popular in the United States
than it ever was before. The game
has also been enjoying a genuine boom
In England, and in both England and
The United States the followers Of the
sport are looking forward to a banner
season.
There can be little doubt that the
International games for the Davis tro-
ply have had a great deal to do with
the present boom in tennis. These
matches gave the game a more import
ant place in the sporting columns Of
the public press, which had the natu-
raj effect OF increasing the number of
players by many hundreds. A brilliant
season is looked forward to in this
country and also in the British Isles.
An American team will cross the At
lantic next summer for the purpose OF
making an effort to recover the Davis
trophy. The English followers Of the
game believe that the interest aroused
by the presence of the Yankee experts
will make the tennis season in King
Edwards land the most brilliant in the
history of the game.
Even last year, before the visit of an
American team was announced, the
British experts were predicting a great
season in the summer of 1904. Just
who win be on the American team is
matter of speculation. It has been
suggested that so far as the doubles
are concerned that Il would be a good
idea to have a special competition to
pick the strongest pair in the country
Wylie c. Grant and his partner, Rob-
ert lie Roy, are regarded as standing
good chance Of making the American
team II such a competition were held
They have been playing together in
doubles for four years. and during that
time have captured the indoor cham
pionship at doubles three times in sue
cession. They are the only pair, with
the exception Of Davis and Ward. who
have stopped playing together who
have been competing In doubles to-
gether for a number of years.
The Doherty brothers became prac-
tically unbeatable in doubles through
their long years Of practice together.

To Rest the Brain

There are FIVE things to remember to
help rest an over-tired brain. writes
Annie Payson Can in Leslie's Month

fulness. .. Concentration Of the mind
on simple things. 3. Relaxation OF the
body. 4. Gentle rhythmic breathing OF
fresh air. S. Regular nourishment. II
we do not lose courage. but keep on
steadily night after night, with a
healthy persistence in remembering and
practicing these five things, we shall
often find that what might have been
IA very long period Of sleeplessness may
be materially shortened and that the
sleep which follows the practice OF the
exercises Is better. sounder, and more
refreshing, than the sleep that come be-
fore. In many cases a long or short
period of insomnia can be absolutely
prevented by just these simple means.
Here is perhaps the place TO say
that all narcotics are, in such cases,
absolutely pernicious.

More than the usual interest is shown

The game is one OF the fastest played

played in all the school gymnasiums in
the United States. The game is looked
upon to take better tha9 basketball, as
