The tennis season just passed has
been one of strange vicissitudes, be-
ginning with the defeat of the inter-
national team abroad and a very dull
early season at home and ending at
Newport with the permanent capture
OF the doubles cup by Ward and
Wright and the upsetting of every pre-
diction in the singles.
The victory of Ward and Wright
was a notable one. Utterly without
practice and with one member of the
team not in the best of physical con-
dltlon, they completely outplayed a
team which had proved itself to be
the best in the country by long sea-
son of victories. Ward and Wright
are undoubtedly the best team of the
year and almost is certainly the best
pair We have ever had. Hackett and
Alexander rank second, with Larned
and Clothier very close to them, and
Wreen and Fincke fourth.
The challenge match marks the re-
tirement of Holcomb Ward after nine
years of consistently high-class play.
During this time he has won a place
in doubles unapproachable by any
other American player, having obtain
ed permanent possession of two cham
pionship cups. first with D. F. Davis
and second with Wright as a partner.
and having been a member of two
victorious international teams.
Wright's injury deprived him of his
best chance of scoring a victory over
the Dohertys this summer. The
teams on which he has played have
virtually created the modern doubles
game and he has long been given the
credit of being one of our headiest
players.
Not only as player, but as a thor
ough sportsman he has made a splen-
did record. No more popular man has
ever entered court, and his with
drawal from the game brings deep
sense of personal loss to hos of ad-
mirers.
In singles, the most difficult problem
of years confornts the Ranking Com
mittee. Beals Wright, on leaving with
the international team was undoubted-
ly the best man in the country. and
thought by many to. be the strongest
player in all departments of the game
that We have ever produced. His ac-
cident and the resulting effects of
blood poisoning were far more serf-

mas been unable to do himself Justice
in the few matches he has played since
his return. 1t was very sportsman
like thing for him to face almost GER
tain defeat in the challenge round
rather than default.
Clotheir, a natural champion, will
undoubtedly rank first in spite of de-
feats by Behr and Larned. His show
ing at Newport in the supreme test
clearly entities him to the place.
Larned won three times from Behr.
once from Clothier, once from Wright,
lost to Alexander in five sets at Sea-
bright, and then failed utterly in his
most important match, going down in
straight sets before Behr at Newport.
Except for this late contest, he had
the most consistent record of any
man who played in large number of
| events

and Nelson himself. Siler claims
damages to the amount of $4,000.
Since the fight both Nolan and Nell
son have repeatedly been quoted as
saying that Siler received money for
giving the decision in favor of Cans,
and that his conduct as referee was
dishonest. They have also been
quoted as saying that Siler never saw
the foul blow on the strength of which
he awarded the fight to Cans. All of
these statements Siler declares to be
untrue and claims damages for their
utterance by Nelson and Nolan.

Weyburn, Sask., Sept. 20.-Playing
the ball they are capable of, the
Maroons had no difficulty in defeating
the strong Weyburn team today. The
Winnipeg bunch completely outclassed
the locals, winning by the score of IS
to nil. Weyburn fans were much sur
prisel at the fast exhibition OF ball
given by the professionals. Many of
them expected a win for the home
team and few anticipated anything but
a close game. They have some good
ball players here, among them being
part of the season of 1905. The Wey-
burn players suffered to certain eX-
tent with stage fright. Lang occupied
the box for the first half of the game,
but was rather wild at times and was
hit freely Allen finished the game.
The Maroons played clean and
snappy game, not making an error.
Hanrahan had four hits. while Zeider
drove in two runs with timely bingle.
"A large crowd witnessed the game and
enjoyed the sport. only being disap-
pointed that Weyburn was unable to
score. Bushelman pitched a steady
game for Winnipeg. Weyburn only
getting three hits.

With the fast Minneapolis team as
their opponents the Winnipeg Maroons
open three game series at home to-
morrow afternoon. The Millers will
be the strongest team that ever visited
Winnipeg. and much interest centres
in their appearance against the locals
Minneapolis had one of the best teams
in the strong American association,
finishing third in hot pennant race,
although they encountered more than
their just share of hard luck expert
ences. Apart from their ability to
play ball Winnipeg fans will welcome
the Millers, particularly on account
of the presence in their lineup of two
former Maroons, Dennis Sullivan and
Hank Gehring.
Sullivan has been a star outfielder
and batsman this season. and has been
sold to Washington in the American
league. Gehring has proven one of the
Millers' most consistent pitchers. The
Minneapolis team will have their regu-
lar lineup.
The Maroons will have the same
team that made the western trip with
one important exception. and that is in
the catching department. In all like
lihood Lew Drill, of the St. Paul team,
will be secured to do the back-stop-
ping. With man like Drill to direct
the play and with his knowledge OF
the opposing batsmen. the Maroons'
chances of making a good showing
against the Millers would be greatly
enhanced. Drill is a player of major
league experience. having caught for
Detroit and Washington. His home
is in st. Paul, and that is the only
reason he dropped to the associa-
tion this year, as he is still young
fellow.

Spnntiing

Edward Tiffin Cook, Ohio's bow
athlete, has decided to go to Cornell
for his collegiate education. Many
prominent colleges and universities
nave tried to enroll him because of his
atheleitc abilities, but he has chosen
cornell, perhaps because that college
mas for two years won the intercol-
legiate contests.
COOK will be great help to the Cor
nell team. They have twice won the
championship without excelling either
in the jumps or the dashes, and these
are where Cook will help them. He
can jump % feet inches, high Jump
feet and do hundred yards in 10
seconds.
Young Cook, who is but II years
Old, has, all his life, aimed to become
an athletic champion. His elder
brother was one of the old-time stars
in the field events at Ohio State uni
versity, and it was from his victories
that the young man first got the de-
sire to excel in athletics For years
he has worked hard in this direction,
until today he is probably the best
athlete for his years in the country.
Born and raised on farm, the
young man has lived outdoors and de-
velopei his natural ability in every
way.
But with all his work and the rec
ords he has made he has never for a
moment worked under a professional
coach or trainer. When the college
coaches get hold Of him there is little
doubt that they will do great things
with him.
Young Cook is modest, quiet and
hard student. He will study science
at Cornell, and his friends expect him
to excel in his studies as much as he
does in athletics.

Bill for Mines Commissioner.

Neutrality-suspicious. Brooks

establishment OF the office of commits
sioner Of mines. to be under the con
troll of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, the commissioner to be ap-
pointed by the President and to re-

Increased Farm Production.

The Bureau of Statistics, in its
official harvest report, gives the re-
turns on the principal grain and root
crops. Cotton returns are not in as yet.
and some of the minor crops are still
unreported, but already the agricul-
tural output of America passes $17,-
100000 over that of 1904 This evil
IDENTIFY does not include corn, for the
gain over last year in that alone is
s29, ,255,2 ,29S.
The total value of the corn raised
this year is over $500 100000. The
wheat crop has been large, but is only
about a third that of corn. The hay
crop about equals in value that of
wheat.
Oats, barley, rice, rye. buclwheat
and tobacco cannot boast so large har-
vests as in 1904, but potatoes and fax
seed outstrip the earlier record. Ten
million dollars worth more of potatoes
have been raised than last year.
The wealth of the world has its
roots in the soil, after all. and the quiet
workers who. scattered all over the
land. bring forth these enormous yields
are the miners whose product is most
huge as well as most essential.

one OF the chief figures in a curious
marriage story. She was the wife of
the village grocer. and had ten chill
dren. In the neighboring village OF
Bietchingley gentleman farmer,
King by name, had eleven sons and
daughters. The young Kings met the
young Maynards. They were mutu-
ally attracted by each others charms,
and IL was not long before win King,
the eldest boy. asked Mariana May

of the sons and three of the daugh-

ingIey. were united TO three of the
sons and four of the daughters of Mr.
Maynard grocer, of Merstham. Few
OF the original fourteen are still alive,
but their children have married
amongst themselves, and there are
still Kings and Maynards round about
Corsham.
