WOMEN TO BE RANKED.
English Custom adopted for Lascn
Tennis PLAYERS.

Following the English custom that has been in
vogue abroad for many years. the women lawn
tennis players OF this country will be ranked this
year for the first time. The innovation is in part
due TO the prospect of international competitions
during the coming year. Such prospect makes It
desirable that the proper status of the women be
established and after the coming year the ranking
or the wornel will become regular feature of the
work OF the ranking committee. Mrs. Barger-Wal-
lach who established her place the courts this
season by being runner-up Miss Helen Honans
at the national championship. made known the fact
that the committee was at work upon the problem.
and that she had aided in endeavor to give TO
each or the women experts an equitable rating
The first intimation that the ranking Of the
women players was at all thought of was in let
ter which Mrs. Barger- Wallach received from A I.
Hoskins of Philadelphia, the chairman of the com
mittee. The plan that outlined for the basis
or the ranking this year give the places
and allot the handcaps according TO the perform
ances or the fair racquet wielders in the three
most important tournaments of the season. The
meetings that Were selected the national
championship, at Philadelphia; the Iongwood open
tournament. at Boston. and the tri-state cham
pionship, at Cincinnati. The majority of the best
women players of this country contested for the
trophies in these tournaments so that for a be-
ginning tho associates of Chairman Hoskins, R. c.
Carleton. of the Crescent Athletic Club and Rob
ert NJ. Miles. of the Orange Lawn Tennis Club be-
Aeved that fair rating could be made
In outlining her selections for the leading places
Mrs Barger-Wallach said that Miss May Sutton,
ex-national champion of tho United States and
England. stood first her list because of the mar
vellous proficiency which the young California girl
had demonstrated. Miss Helen Homans. of the
West Side Lawn Tennis Club. and winner of the
national championship honors this season, she
placed second The third place Mrs. Bargar- Wal
lach favored for Miss Florence Sutton the sister Of
Miss May Sutton while the fourth place would fall
10 either Miss Evelyn Sears of Boston or herself
according TO the record Of several scores. This
would fl the honor list of the first five; while close
up with them would Miss Neeley. of Chi
cago; Miss Coffin. of Staten Island, and others
II explained TO Mrs. Barger- -Wallach that the
national champion had always been placed first in
the ranking of the men, which would give that
post to Miss Homans. and that her record of
runner-up to the national champion and her vic
tory IN winning the Longwood Cup, together with
her play at Newport the Casino courts. entitled
her to second place. The only victory scored by
Miss Sutton that in the Tri-State. and as In
former years the committee had taken account
OF the work of the players on foreign courts Miss
Sutton likely TO go unranked get the third
place Such was the placing Of experts. with Miss

New Haven, Nov. n.-Yale's football players sur

Brown made no substitutons while Yale's only
change was made when Captain Morse slightly
turned his ankle and retired in favor of Wernekin.
1t is nov certain that Roome cannot face Prince

the SAINT lineup that met Brown because Veeder

There is a disposition among a certain number Of
we'll known amateurs TO have the conditions gov
erning the next national championship tournament
changed somewhat. The double qualifying round
as the two days OF medal play which has pre-
vailed for the last two years is called has not
met with general approval
The strain of two consecutive days of scoring Is
not not Iancled by the majority. The less medal play
the better they say, hence suggestion TO have
the next tournament start with an eighteen hole
qualifying round. the best sixty-four to earn the
right 10 continue on at match play for the title.
An argument against this would be the element
or uncertainty bound to exist In single eighteen
hole round, although with sxty-four to qualify
would be excluded.
The popularity of the Atlantic City club was
Illustrated to a striking deSree last week. There
were more than a hundred starters IN the tourna-
ment. which was gratifying TO the officials of the
country club. especially as they had made no eff
fort TO secure a large entry. Enthusiasm was
noticeable at all times. TO have six sixteens is
almost an unheard of thing in golf tournaments
yet those who made the last set played their
matches just as faithfully the sixteen who
qualified for the Governors Cup.

Feb. lS.-There is much alarm in Hot
Sulphur Springs over what is believed
1 to be a genuine volcano that is belch-
ing flames and smoke from the side of
Mount sutton, a lofty, creviced, gran
lite promontory, three miles south of
this place. The mountain is burning,
and not through any human agency,
nor is the fire being fed by material
that might have been placed there by
intent, There is no timber or coal in
that section. The flames appear to
be consuming the very granite of the
mountain and the fire is spreading
one investigation was made today
by party of reputable citizens of Hot
sulphur Springs, headed by City Mar
shall Stillwell McQuery. Sheriff Solomon
Jones and Editor John Brown of the
Middle Park Times. This party APP
preached as near to the burning crater
as IL deemed safe and made a cursory
examination Every member of the ex-
petition is positive that the fire is vol
canic in character and says that the
flames appear to be consuming the
very rocks from which they spring.
The dense volumes OF smoke that roll
skyward are thickly inpregnated with
sulphur fumes, and occasionally there
is a faint indication of ashes
A second and larger exploring party
will leave here early tomorrow morn

The reflection from the flames of the
eruption was first discovered yester-

| Springs II looked as though some one
had built a large camp fire on the 300
foot elm, midway from top to bottom.
II was generally supposed that the
fire was built by camping party, or
that some person or persons had fallen

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause OF
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence Of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record Of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side, Professor
