MISS SUTTON AT
PRACTICE IN ENGLAND

LONDON, June miss May Sutton be-
gan practicing yesterday on the lawn ten
mis- courts at Aigburth. Liverpool. where
she will open her campaign in the north
ern tournament on Monday. Her voy-
age from America apparently has had no
effect whatever on her form, as she is
playing as well as she did last summer
in England. Indeed, her strokes have
gained in vigor and accuracy, as she has
improved her back-hand play.
After she has defended the Northern cup
at Liverpool and the ladies' championship
at Wimbledon Miss Sutton will go to New
port to defend the Welsh championship,
which she won from Miss Wilson last year.
She Is also likely to appear at the Buxton
championships.
Great disappointment is expressed In
lawn tennis circles at the absence of Miss
Sutton's sister, who was expected to- ac-
company her. Asked what chances she
thought the American team had OF Win
ming the Davis cup, Miss Sutton said:
II think they have a splendid chance,
though, Of course. the possibility OF Mr..
wright's not playing will be q severe han
dicap. 1 had note from the American
captain telling me what the doctors say
about Mr. Wright. 1t Is most unfortunate,
but the team will go proudly on. They
have come over to win.

GEORGETOWN GREW
NEARLY DOWN TO WEIGHT

The Georgetown, varsity crew which have
been selected to bear the colors of blue
and gray In the coming seasons events, as
recently announced In the Star were put
over the four-mi1e course yesterday by
Coach Dempsey and the boys plainly dis
played much Improvement in their team
work as result OF their strenuous efforts
Of the past few weeks to get in trim. Each
member of the crew has his heart and
soul wrapped up in his preparatory work
and though their efforts are very trying on
their physique they pursue their work with
the Courage OF q lion.'' Every member
Of the crew shows plainly the effect Of
his hard work and has lost several
rosy-cheeked boys filled with the essence
OF blushing youth they have been trans
formed into the more sturdy and rugged
athlete in the past few weeks and have
lost 80 much flesh that 1t is apparent the
crew will be a lightweight one If
this continues. The faculty Of the
college will not permit evening practice
for some unknown reason, though this is
ascribed to the fact that it might entail a
loss of too much time from study, SO the
boys have to make the best Of their time
in the afternoon when the rays Of the sun
are exceedingly warm. The steam launch
Georgetown, which Is used as pace
and Is about the only boat available that
creating too heavy swells, Is at present
out Of commission undergoing repairs. For
this reason trial of speed under favorable
conditions cannot be had until the launch
Is again in service. The services of one
of the fastest gasoline launches about
Georgetown was employed yesterday but 1t
was soon found that 1t was bit too slow
to keep up with the eight-oar shell and
by the time the first mile was covered the
honk-honk craft was far astern of the
oarsmen. The team work OF the crew
shows marked improvement over that Of
last week and Coach Dempsey is mucn
gratified with the results thus far accom-
plished. Three weeks more remain in
which time the boys have to round into
shape for the contest of the 9th at Pough-
keepsie and If the same progress is made
during that time as has been IN evidence
for the past week 1t is highly probable
that the crew will be ready for a race.
The general awkwardness displayed last
week has materially disappeared and much
Improvement is noted in this respect,
though there Is yet quite little to be
overcome and close application to practice
will remedy the evil.

TROUBLES THE PASSENGERS.
Height of the Steps on the New Elec
trio Cars

Those big new double seated electric
cars are all right" said a passenger to
conductor on one of the lines which has re-
Gently installed the new cars, but why
didn't they place the step nearer the
ground? The asphalt seems about five
miles away when you finally get down to
It with your feet when you are not looking.
as conversely the step appears just In the
right place to bark your shin when you are
climbing up. How about it?''
That's the way IT seems answered the
conductor, but If you will look at the posi-
ton of the step In relation to the height and
body of the new cars you will observe that
II is placed in proportion.
IF your memory goes back to the first
surface cars you will recall that the bot
tom of the step was but a few inches above
the pavement. That's because the cars of
that date were small affairs Then, you may
remember. that with the advent of what
was then known as the new electric cars,
people had the same trouble with the new
step that they are having today with cars
of this type. That's because the cars that
were then called new, but what we now
call the old electric pattern, were so much
larger than the initial surface cars: the pro-
portion has been maintained in all of the
types
And the generations succeed one an
other, and the size of the electric surface
cars Increase correspondingly the steps are
going higher up In proportion asked the
passenger.
That's about the size of It," replied the
CONDUCTOR conc II they continue growing in
bulk every weuld-he passenger viii have to
carry his own portable folding patent or
homemade electric car step ladder--vas
they may be little cumbersome at first.

WHY CALLED "HIGH BALLS
Views of Those on Both Sides of the
Bar.


well, you see it was this way" said the
gentleman behind the bar in the cafe of
an uptown hotel the high ball Just nat
urally evolved with the advent of the long
glass, the settler squirter, cracked ice and
mans idea for a good, long drink In the
summer time. So 1t was called the high
ball"
The tall. slender gentleman with the sharp
nose objected to the definition Of the gen.
tleman behind the bar.
THE high ball." he contended with a dig
nifty that becomes perfect knowledge of
subject, had its outcome from the natural
association of the great national game of
base ball. Some players want a low ball
and some want high ball. More wanted
a high ball than low ball, so, when they
adjourned for thirst quencher after the
game, the men who wanted the high ball
were in the majority and barkeeps got into
the habit of serving them long drinks: that's
how the name originated"
There was general dissent from the
definition given by the tall, slender gentle
man, but since he had paid for three rounds
without a kick they let 1t go at passive dis
sent
All of the other gentlemen on the rail
side of the bar had different definitions as
to the true origin of the great summer
drink. The only two points upon which
there was unanimity Of opinion were that
high stood for a long drink and that
bali was another word for whisky, wheth-
er it was Scotch Irish or American, blended
or straight.
The short, stout gentleman with the fishy
eyes then opened up.
You are all wrong said the short, stout
gentleman with great positiveness. THE
high ball Is q married mans drink and 1t
was originated and named by married men;
bachelors took to 1t because 1t tasted good.
You don't spell 1t rightly, anyway 1t isn't
high ball. but high bawl.' 1t originated
this way:
When married men go home half-seas
over there is always an indignant female
high up at the top of the staircase who
lets out a high bawl that makes the unfor-
tunate married man often turn about face
and adjourn TO the places where tonics are
dispensed. He tells the barkeep about the
high bawl at home and he asks the bar
keep If he knows anything good to take for
II. Cert says the barkeep, who in most
cases has a high bawler at home himself,
cert. take a good long drink, and then you
won't hear the high bawl when you get
back That's how the name of the great
national high ball arose.
Although this definition did not settle the
absorbing question under discussion 1t did
settle 1t that the short, stout gentleman
had to pay for the next two rounds to
square himself with the married men pres
ent, and who Indignantly denied that they
had ever been greeted on their return home
very late by high bawl, low bawl, shrill
bawl or anything bordering on bawls at all.

The Ways of the West.

From Outing.
The steam schooner, a vessel whose build
and habits are peculiar to the Pacific, often
goes to sea with her load line over her
hatch" Which means that. after her hold
has been crammed with cargo. deckload
of lumber is piled halfway up the masts, SO
that her skipper puts out with the water
washing green over his main deck, and an
occasional comber frisking across his bat
tened matches. Along the harbor front or
Seattle runs the story OF passenger who
loped down to the wharf in a hurry TO get
aboard a departing steam schooner. He
balanced himself on the stringpiece for an
instant LOOKED down at what little he could
see of the laden craft, and hove his grip
sack down the only opening In sight. He
was about to dive after IL when lounger
on the wharf shouted:
hi. there! Where do you think you're
tumpin' tot That's the smokestack you
tossed your baggage down"
He'll" gasped the passenger. Il thought

charges beyond his non-success in the past
two weeks
The accused horse owner Is a Kansas
man who has been conspicuous as bidder
on selling race winners and a cla1mer OF
beaten horses. It is q fact known to racing
officials that the man makes practice OF
starting horses which have no chance to
win. simply for. the purpose of having the
right to claim horses which other owners
have entered for less than their real value.
In this course the western horseman has
hitherto kept within the rules, but now the
charge Is made that he has compact with
a horseman who habitually bets heavily on
his own horses In selling races. whereby for
consideration the plunger secures i'm
munity from bidding up or claiming his
horses.
The rules of racing provide for such Of

mailed turfman and make him a party to
the offense. A number of horse owners
who have been annoyed and been COM
PEELED to contribute to the western man
called the matter to the attention Of the
stewards and an Inquiry was begun.

About Lutheran Schools.

Prof. DR.. r. Tombs, of Columbia Un
versity, New York, says lin the Sunday
edition of the New York Stats Zeitung,
Of November 90, 19O4,) the following
complimentary remarks concerning the
Lutheran parochial schools exhibition
at the Worlds fair in st. Louis: "Yet
one exhibition l must briefly call at.
tention to, although it really does moi
fall under the head of so-called public
schools of our country, mean the ex-
hibition of the German American paro-
chial schools. In a spacious hall hard
by one of the main entrances of the
palace of education 1858 parochial
schools of the German Evangelical
Lutheran church have an exhibition,
from which you at once note an air OF
German spirit Here we find system.
Here we find that which greatly lacks
in our public schools that completeness
of the exhibit. Every branch of in
struction in the schools is represented
by work of the scholars: English Ian
guage, history of United States, Ger
man language, physiology, zoology,
botany; general history, penmanship in
both languages, and drawing. That
the parochial schools, although they
have in addition to the public schools
courses in religion and German, do not
educate less good citizens of our coun-
try, of this fact everyone who has seen
the exhibited work, will be convinced.
81 fear even that the showing, of the
public schools will not always stand a
comparison with that of the parochial
schools. 1t is with right as ! notice,
| that the committee on prizes Of the
Worlds fair has awarded the Lutheran
Synod the gold medal for their exhibi
ton of schools.
1t is to be remarked that the cyan
gelical Lutheran Salems school on Mil
waukee street of this city belongs t.
this body of Lutherans. The school il
