noted for her strong strokes, but in
stead of throwing the force and weight
of her whole body into the stroke, as
Miss Pound did, Miss Sutton uses only
the swing of her arm to give the ball
momentum In this way she never
loses control of her foot-work and is
always to be found wherever the bail
is. Her ability to follow the ball
around and get set in the right place
to return it, is the best feature to her
playing, critics declare. She is always
ready to meet the ball and she gen.
orally gets in position with very little
effort. Her drives are strong and de-
ciledly accurate, and it is seldom that
she makes double" At the net she
has developed phenomenal su,aah,
which she uses with manlike strength.
All of her strokes are as strong "a

with her rivals, she far outsnines
them in the strength of her strpkes.

She is, however, an excellent golf
player, proficient in basketball and

the best all-around woman athletes in

tennis. She began playing when she
was IL years old. Her improvement
was SO rapid in this one season, how
ever, that she induced her parents to
permit her to enter tournament COM

match after match and finally the
championship of the Pacific coast.
Since then her game has become bet

STORMS IN VIRGINIA.

Yesterday afternoon during a severe
storm, lightning struck a pecan tree in
the yard of w. T. Harvell, about two
miles and half from Waverly, on the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, and then
Jumped to the house, killing Mrs. Har-
veil, who was in a room upstairs. Two
other persons who were in room below
were very badly stunned. Prince George
county, in the vicinity of Garysville,
was visited Monday afternoon by the
heaviest rain known in that section for
some years. The rain was accompanied
by considerable hail, which injured the
crops. Esther Jones was struck by light
ming and instantly killed, and her father
and brother, Junius Jones, ST., and
Junius Jones, jr., were seriously injured
by the lightning. The Joneses are ten
ants on the farm of j. W. Moore, who
himself was badly stunned by lightning
Considerable damage was done at the
various summer resorts near Norfolk yes
terday by the worst storm experienced IN
Norfolk in years. The wind blew gale
for over an hour, and during that time
the roof of the great pavilion at Pine
Beach was struck by lightning. A piece
of the wreckage in falling struck Mrs. f.
C. Elliott, who was seriously injured.
At Ocean View many fences were blown
down and traffic was delayed on the rail-
road to that resort for time by uprooted
trees across the track. In several parts
of the country farms were flooded, the
rain coming down in torrents, while the
telephone and telegraph systems suffered
somewhat. An upturned yacht, drifting
in Tanners Greek, has caused much APP
prehension, it being the belief that the
yacht capslzed in the bay and driited into
the creek during the gale.
