WALKOVEE IN SINGLES
BUT Miss Sutton Proves Weak In the
Ladies' Semi-Finals.

Ladies' Seni-Finals.
Liverpool, June S.-The fact that Miss
May Sutton, Of Pasadena, Cal, was
given a walkover in the semi-tlnal
round of the women's singles champion
ship of the north counties robbed the
proceedings at Aigburth to-day of much
of their interest. The American was to
oppose Miss V. Pinckney, of Salisbury,
but the latter was unable to turn out,
Later, however, Miss Sutton appeared
with Mrs. Hillyard in the semi-final
round of the ladies' doubles against
Misses Douglass and Thomson, in. which
contest the American further proved
that her strong point is not in doubles.
AS in the mixed match on Thursday,
she did not show that resourcefulness
which is characteristic of her singles
game. She was especially weak at the
net, with the result that Misses Doug
lass and Thomson qualified for the final,
two sets to love.
D. r. Rhodes, of Boston, won his
match against Sampson in the second
round of the handicap tournament for
the Liverpool cup, 6-2, Al, when Mr..
Sampson retired. The scores are as fol-
lows:

Sweden VIII Not Send Delegate to Cor
OnatiOn of HaaItOn VII.
Christiania, June s.--Sweden will not
be represented at the coronation Of
King Haakon VII. on June %. The
Swedish government desires that it be
understood that this decision is not the
result of. i'll will or as a breach Of
friendly intercourse, but that it Is die
tated out Of regard for King Oscars
personal feelings. The situation has
no historic parallel, but it is consid-
cred here as quite natural that King
Oscar should not permit a member of
his dynasty to assist at the coronation
of his successor in the sovereignty of a
portion of his former kingdom. The
governmental Verdans Gang comments
on the incident in this spirit, saying
that Sweden's absence in the circum-
stances is not a symptom that she is
unwilling to retain cordial relations
with Norway.
