AUTHOR IN TROUBLE.

made study of the neighborhood, it's ira

The result was somewhat startling, for
he succeeded In drawing SO gra phic a pic

relish the way wherein their oddities,
humors. eccentrtcfttes and fofbles were held
up to the attention of the whole world.
Nor was thds the worst of Mr.. Phillpotts'
mischances. In his book he has thrown
hitherto unsupported lights on England's
rural police system, and in a thrilHngly
exciting scene points out the way whereby
a clever prisoner might readily escape the

TALK OF CHALLENGING
BRITONS AT TENNIS

BOSTON. February 3.-Ranking lawn ten
mis- players of the country have recently
been canvassed for their views as to chal-
longing the Britons this year for the Dwight
F. Davis International challenge cup.
From what Clothier, who was a member
of the American challenging team last year.
has said to several of the players, those
who shape the affairs of the national gov
eminent body in the sport are against
sending over a team. That such a move is
directly in opposition to the wishes Of the
following of the sport in this country Is evil
dent wherever lawn tennis is talked of In
is severely censured, and it is felt that such
methods do much to retard the development
of the sport here.
Somewhat in opposition to the canvass Of
the national association has been the favor
able attitude that Beals Wright the ma
tional champion. and his ardent supporters
have taken toward sending challenge and
a team to meet the famous Englishmen in
an effort to return. the blue ribbon of the
tennis courts to this country. Many of the
experts believe that a team headed by
would be successful this year. This in view
of the fact that only a narrow margin of
points actually separated the Americans
from victory last July at Wimbledon
1t is this element that may force matters
as was done at the annual meeting of last
February, and cause something like a split

COMING ATHLETIC
MEETINGS IN OTHLR CITIES

The growing tendency of colleges to enter
their track athletes in as many indoor
meets as possible during the winter is shown
in the announcement that Yale, Princeton
Pennsylvania and several other universities
will send representatives to the carnival to
be held in Philadelphia on washington's
Birthday. Two other notable indoor race
meets of the season will be the B. A. A.
games at Boston next month and the CO.
lumbia University games in Madison Square
Garden next Friday.
At Philadelphia the usual program will be
given, including several intercollegiate re-
lay races. Chicago University win send a
relay team to the annual carnival of the
University of Pennsylvania Lightbody.
Eckersall. Quigley and Gronan will be sent.
Chicago will also be represented in the spe-
eial events.
The Boston A. A. games on February 10
have attracted some of New York's best
men. Harvey Cohn, George Bonhag, J. p.
Sullivan, Melville Sheppard and Martin
Sheridan of the Irish-American Athletic
Club have sent in their entries.
The race between this quartet of niilers
will be one of the best that could happen,
but as Yale and Harvard have their teams
entered there may be one or two of the col
hard race.
Besides these New Workers, there will be
the best men from Chicago, Philadelphia
Washington. Archie Holm of Milwaukee
will run in the sprints with Walter Ecker

NEW YORK, February 3-With nine
games played of the thirty In the inter
collegiate basket ball series the different
teams are taking Il survey of the field and
sizing up their chances of winning the cham
pionship. Enough contests have been played
to enable a forecast of the strongest pos
sfbilities. That possibility seems to be CO.
lumbia. AT least the local university five
heads the list and has defeated one of the
two most dangerous rivals-Pennsylvania-
have in turn won from Harvard 13 to O.
The victories in both cases, however, were
by close margins, which may be reversed
later on. Yale technically Is second on the
list, having played only one game and that
with Princeton, which team is at present
last in the league.
Columbia has usually had a strong bas-
ket ball team and has for two years won
the intercollegiate championship honors. If
the Blue succeeds this year in again win
ming it will be creditable performance for
Columbia started the season with only
three veteran players, Capt. Hurley, CuthoI
