COLLIER SUCCUMBS TO NOURSE ON

THE WINNER WILL MEET JAMES
Role and Schmidt Take Part
In the Longest Match of the Day

The annual class singles tennis tour
nament was started yesterday on the
California Club courts. Play was COM
pleted down to the finals in the first
three classes and to the semi-finals in
the fourth class.
In the first class George James and
The surprise of the day was the defeat
of w. B. Collier at the hands Of Nourse.
The latter was beaten twice by Collier
in the continuous tournament and the
latter was expected to win quite hand
lily. Nourse put up his usual steady
game and won two straight sets. A
scarcity of the regulation ball made 1t
necessary to use another kind. Collier
attributes his defeat to this fact. There
is probably some merit in his claim,
although Nourse was as unused to the
balls as his opponent.
George James and Carl Gardner put
UP a good exhibition. Gardner looked
to have James beaten when he won the
first set easily and led at 81 and van
tage. The pace told on him while
James, as usual, finished strongly and
just nosed his opponent out.
Harry Rolfe and Herbert Schmidt
figured in the longest match OF the
day Rolfe won the first set easily but
the work seemed to do Schmidt good.
He took the next set OF but lost the
third by 10-S score. Schmidt Is out
of practice. At his best he Is probably
the best player in the class.
Rolfe's match with Schmidt left him
tired out and James beat him In
straight sets. Rolfe made a. good bid
in the first set but could not quite win
1t. He lost heart after this and James
took the second set easily.
In the second class both Ray Cornell
and Ray Splivalo defaulted. With these
two men out of it Melville Long looks
sure winner He beat Alexander
Beyfuss easily and also disposed of

third class. The score stood GA, ST.

Tho fourth class is much larger than

Bacon, w. G. Knowlton and r. B. Dag

BY far the closest match in this class
was the one between Murphy and Dag

Animal Leaps Down Steps, Dragging
the Wagon and the Presi-

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1-Quentin
Roosevelt is now satisfied with his
Christmas goat. The Presidents young.
est son took his first drive behind the
goat this afternoon. The butler, the
White House policeman and others
were present at the start, but they
could not keep up with the procession.
The goat headed from the south por-
tico of the White House toward the ex-
ecutive offices, and put in his best licks.
The boy was delighted, but, the goat
had not been trained to avoid preci-
pices when tied to a wagon. He did not
turn into the drive, but made a leap
down the steps leading to the execu-
tive avenue between the White House
grounds and the State, War and Navy
buildings. The goat, wagon and boy
landed in the street at the bottom of
the steps In a general mixup.
The policeman, the butler and dozen
tourists rushed to the rescue. Quentin
scrambled to his feet and inquired If
the goat had been hurt. He paid no at
tention to the scratch across his own
face. He likes that goat.
