Wylie C. Grant. Herbert L. Westfall
and Louis ]. Grant, who have been
abroad on a-lawn tennis trip through
the United Kingdom, have sailed for
the United States. They are due here
October 13 on the Anchor Liner Gale
DINA. With them will be A. w. Gore,
the British player, who is coming 10
pay visit to the United States as q
guest of the Grants and who may play
little while here.
The last engagement played by w.
c. Grant and Westfall abroad were in
the Craigside open tournament at
Llandudo, where the Welsh covered
court championships are held. Grant,
after putting out Mavorogodato, the
holder was beaten in the final by the
we'll known indoor player G. A. Carl
dia. There was great interest in the
match because Grant is the American
indoor champion and Cardia was for
five years the holder of the Welsh title
before Mavorogodato broke up the
string.
In the doubles the teams in the
semi-final round gave real interna-
tional flavor to the tournament.

finals the Americans won, 60, Ga,

The new ruling of the Intercol-
legiate Lawn Tennis association that
neither freshmen nor undergraduate
play should hereafter be eligible to
the tournament was called forth by
protest against the entry of Robert
Leroy of Columbia, champion in 1904,
and again in 1906. Leroy is third
year law school man at Columbia, hav-
ing been graduated from the college
department in 1905. He was entirely
eligible, the committee decided but the
new rule was considered advisable.
There was no need of such rule
in the cases of Harvard, Yale and
Princeton, which have already agreed
to bar graduates and freshmen from
all varsity teams.

battle between Champion Jim Jeffries
and Tom Sharkey, at Coney Island, N.

sailor should have received the ver

landing most blows, but they could
not show whose blows were most eff

BASEBALL long AGO.

and baseball OF two or three decades

GOOD PRACTICE.
Players are Touring Out With Better
Regularity Than Formerly.

Z
Crookston Times: The high school
football boys are out every evening
now and are getting in a lot of good
practice work. One of the things
brought out by the play at Red Lake
Falls was that Crookston was too light
to put through several of the plays in
which they have been perfecting them
selves, and several new plays are be-
ing tried out for next Saturday. Miller
was down at the grounds last evening
and assisted in the coaching. The
boys are putting much more life and
enthusiasm into the play than they
did last year but there is still much
ground for improvement along this
line. Several of the boys on the team
are in their last year of Crookston high
school work and there is not that
snap and vim to their work which
characterize the work of players who
may never again have a chance to dis
tinguish themselves on the gridiron.
Crookston has the material this year
for a winning football team but when
every member of that team does not
go into the work in a whole hearted
manner the chances for making a win
ner are greatly lessened. One of the
men who is fast coming to the front
and who will yet be heard from in a
football way, is Raymond Smith. This
is his first year of football and he is
green at it but his work last night
in bucking the line proved that he has
not only the weight but the grit to
take care of anything that would ever
come against him in high school play
II no gets onto the play little

stars of the team, is laid up with a
boil on his neck but will probably
