Tennis, that delightful game and most
pleasant form of recreation, is in full
swing in the city of Washington since the
pleasant weather began. This game has
only become a national pastime within
comparatively few years. While not in
dulged in by as many people as base ball
and other sports are, it has large follow
ing among the people of this city, and es-
pecially among the gentler sex, who are
barred from most of the other games on
account of the fact that there is so much
exertion to them but with tennis there is
no undue exertion of the body necessary
in playing the game, and yet enough eX-
ercise and movement is gained to keep the
body perfectly supple and in sound health.
In the near future it is predicted that la
dies will become more devoted to the game
and will be seen upon the courts of the
city in greater numbers than they appear
at present.
In the more fashionable portions of the
northwest section of the city many have
had courts prepared upon vacant lots near
their homes and in the afternoon after
the cares of the Office are over for the day
the busy man of affairs goes directly to his
home and before dinner will play set
with his wife and children. Then the Bach

The Post Office team of the Departmental
League was treated to disagreeable sur
prise by the Foundry team of the Sunday
School Athletic Association on the Mount
Pleasant grounds yesterday afternoon,
when by frequent application of the willow
to the sphere the Foundrys took victory
by the score of II to 4.
Hays delivery proved easy to solve for
the winners, who batted him all over the
field for nineteen hits, two of which were
for three bases. made by Randall and
Welles.
Ogle was on the mound for the winners
and served up the same article of ball
twirling which has marked his career In the
box this season.
f. Ogie, at the second sack for Foundry,
was the busy man of the day, accepting
eight chances and dropping one which was
a little too easy.

II is. of course. impossible to foretell what
success these women will have against the
players of Great Britain The difference of
climate and links will have an appreciable
effect. and the longer rounds of the Eng
Iish tournament will also be a dlsadvan-
tageOus factor But from the showing
made here by the two English women who
have come over-AIiss RhOna Adair and
Miss Charlotte bod. each at the time of
her first visit holding the English champion
snip title-the American players should not
be altogether Outc.dssed. Miss AdAir, who
was here in 1903. met nearly all the leading
American women in tournament at Phila-
delphia. and led them by only one stroke.
while Miss bod, who came over here last
season. did not prove herself a match for
our best players. and. though she tied for
the best score in the medal round of the
tournament given in her honor, she was
subsequently, beaten in the match play by
Miss Pauline Mackay of Boston. II was
generally admitted. however. that Miss bod
was not at her best at any time while she
was here, the voyage and the excitement OF
her entertainment being fatal to her goldng
poise. From the records published in this
'Ountry il would seem that English women
ire four or five strokes better than their
american cousins, but this may be
ounted for by the superiority of the Eng
.ish links. AT all events, the contest VIII

A car governed on the throttle can be
driven more comfortably IL the following
wrinkle Is adopted: When running down a
hill with the clutch out, and the governor
has slowed down the engine, the clutch
should not be let in suddenly. as the male
portion of the clutch is revolving faster
than the fywEeel portion. The accelerator
pedal should be depressed just prior to let
ting in the clutch. If this Is done, there IL
no jar on the gear. as both portions of the
clutch win be revolving at an equal speed.

The Boston terrier is coming into high
favor in London and on the Continent as
a dog of fashion. This is an American in
vasion that is not regarded favorably by
the English Kennel Club The breed is
recognized by the American Kennel Club as
a distinct product Of the United States, but
it was not until after many years of plead
ing that its sponsors could obtain the Off
cial ratification Of their evolution from the
rough and haphazard parent stock. This
ratification will be still harder to obtain
from the English Kennel Club. Time will
eventually bring about a happy adjust
ment, say the Yankee owners and they are
willing to await the hour of destiny.
Meantime the Boston terrier makes more
friends abroad each season. The jauntiest
miniature suggestion of the bulldog that
may be imagined, the American dog is a
quick, lively companion, indoors or out,
and an ornament to the encourage of fash

Mr.. Hooper's Judge was cross between

brindle, with white stripe on the face.
His head was square and blocky and he
resembled the Boston terrier OF to-day
in that he was nearly even mouthed. Mr..

the typical white markings. and he was the
first to show the fine quality that marks

the fin. to make her hold up better when
turning to windward.
Gen. Charles j. Paine embodied the idea
in the Jubilee. which was built as Cup
defender in 1853. She was very fast. but
unfortunately was not rugged strongly
and frequently broke down. She had
fin through which a centerboard dropped,
thus giving her more draft when re-
quired and she had small centerboard
fitted at the forward end of the boat to give
her better grip on the water.
Another fin has two plates to support it.
The disadvantage Of this ia that it increases
the wetted surface OF the underbody Of
the boat and that is what all designers
seek to avoid.
A queer finkeel craft was recently designed
by British yachtsman as Cup challenger.
The hull proper of the boat was very shoal
and not unlike a canoe, but it had two
