The official British paper, Lawn Tennis,
prints a cartoon of Miss May sutton In
the regular series that has been running
In the magazine. Accompanying the car
toon is a little appreciation which winds
up with Miss Sutton Is a born match
player and is possessed Of iron nerves
Though we may almost claim this fair
daughter of Columbia as a native of this
country, yet to America is due the credit
of producing such a phenomenal player,
and great as has been her success up to
the present, he would be a bold man in
deed who could prophesy that we have
as yet seen Miss Sutton at the zenith
Of her powers" Miss Sutton was beaten
in both the All-English and Northern
championships by Miss d. Katherine
Douglas this year.
Letters received say that wylie c. Grant
and H. Tavern Westfall, the two young
lawn tennis players who are making
tour of the meetings on the other side
of the ocean, have started OF very well.
An old friend of the Grants, 8. l.. Fry,
invited the two to compete at Greystoncs.
Wylie got the final round in singles and
the two players were in the doubles final.
The eventual result of the tourney is not
known. Against Fry and Mccormack, two
of the crack players of ireland, the Amerl-
cans did very well, giving the Irishmsn
a handicap of 10 and winning after
NH. rod FOR a
East of Ireland championships at Kings
ton as their next engagement.

Labor day will be a busy one in the tight
ing line. In every city where boxing Is
permitted the manager of the club that has
been holding shows is busy at present
making arrangements to bring OF battle.
The main fight of them all, of course, will
be the lightweight championship battle be-
tween Joe Cans and Battling Nelson, which
Is to come off at Goldheld, New, for a
$50. 900 purse The other cities where fights
will be decided are: Philadelphia; Chelsea,
Mass; Denver, Colo; Grand Rapids, Mich;
Seattle, Wash; Everett, Wash; Terre.
Haute, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Mil
waukee and other towns. Nearly all the
clubs have arranged their bouts.
George Georgantas, the Greek weight
thrower and strong man who competed In
the Olympic games in St. Louis in 1901
and In Athens last summer, has arrived
from Europe and in all probability Will be
a contender in the coming national cham
pionships. 1t will be remembered that
Georgantas defeated Sheridan in throwing
the heavy stone at the Olympic games. To
the Americans the contest was unsatis-
factory. The Greek beat the Yankee by
inches only, despite the fact that the latter
man had a sprained knee and could not
bear his full weight on 1t. Georgantas
made an open boast Of victory over Sheri-
dan and Wanted that he could take the
American into camp at any stage OF the
game. Georgantas rather unsportsman'
| like conduct has made the sinewy New
Yorker rather sore. He does not say much
but whenever the Greeks name is men
toned there comes finty CLINT Into Sheri
dams naturally laughing eyes that implies
much. The superiority of the men will II
all probability soon be tested.
