TENNIS EXPERTS
TO COME SOUTH
NORTHERN PLAYERS RECEIVE
INVITATION
Southern California Championship
Tournament to Begin at Ocean
Park Next Week With Large
Entry List

If efforts being made by the South
ern California Tennis association are
successful several of the northern Cali
fornia tennis cracks will participate in
the Southern California championship
tournament which starts at Ocean Park
a week from next Monday. Carl Gard
ner Charles Foley and Percy Murdock
are the players who have been invited
to come south by the association, and
arrangements have been made where
by It may also be possible for a still
larger delegation from the north to be
present.
All of the three players have held
championship titles in the northern
part of the state and are ranked at the
top of the list of northern racquet
wielders this year. Murdoch is cham
pfon of San Francisco, having won the
title from Gardner on Decoration day,
end Foley won the Bay County cham
pionship last fall, and won a round
robin tournament this spring in which
both the state and coast champions
were entered.
Gardner has been south once already
this year, and demonstrated his abil-
ity to make the players in this part of
the state hustle, by carrying off first
honors at the Ojai valley in the open
singles event.
While the south sends large dele
cation each year to the Pacific coast
championship tournament at San Ra-
fael, northerners have not up to this
year taken part in the annual South
ern California event at Ocean Park,
although for number of entries the lat
ter tournament is the more important
of the two. If the northerners can be
induced to make the trip, not only
will the highest class of tennis that
has been seen at Ocean Park for years
be the result, but the fight that the
southern players will make to keep the
championship in the south should be
worth going miles to see. Besides this
the matches will afford an excellent
line on the outcome of the Pacific coast
tournament later in the month.

MEN COMPLAIN THAT THEIR WIVES
TREAT THEM WITH UTMOST CRUELTY
Candy Seamans Declares His Otner
Half MARRIED Honeymoon by Cut
ting AIIusions to His Ex.
treme Youth

%oMPLAINING that his wife had
constantly reminded him that she
had taken a boy to raise" when
she married him. Candy Seamans, a
postman, yesterday petitioned divorce
from Mrs. Minnie Seamans in Judge
Bordwell's department of the superior
court and although there was plenty OF
evidence the case was continued be-
cause of technicality in the service of
the papers.
According to the story told by Sea-
mans yesterday he married In 1888, his
wife being nine years older than him
self.
From the very first days of their
honeymoon, while Mrs. Seamans and
her 19-year-old husband were travelling
about, II was testified that the groom's S
hours of bliss were rudely interrupted
by his wife, who reminded him that she
had taken a boy to raise.
Jealousy formed the chief feature of
the family disagreements and Seamans'
relatives testified yesterday that the
wife made her husbands life miserable
by compelling him to account for every
moment he was away from her.
In order to try and make life more
pleasant Seamans adopted a boy, but
even that did not bring about the con-
dition desired. and after Mrs. Seamans
had arrived In Los Angeles two years
ago, on a visit to her husband, the
couple engaged in a last vigorous quar-
rel and the wife left for eastern rela-
tives.

BIC LEAGUE RACE
IS SPECTACULAR
CLEVELAND, NEW YORK AND
PHILADELPHIA IN VAN
Hiehlanders With Great Hitting of
Chase, Keller, Williams and La
porte Proving Terror to
Foreign Pitchers

The race in the American league is,
indeed, spectacular. For weeks past
Cleveland, New York and Philadelphia
nave been fighting tooth and nail for
first honors, not one of the three great
clubs being long in the van.
There seems little doubt that the
American league championship will be
won by one of these three teams. Phil
| adelphia, with it's great pitchers and
its smooth team work, will make a
strong bid for the pennant, and is very
likely to sneak across the home plate
at the eleventh hour, as it has done
before.
Cleveland, led by the peerless slug
ger Lajoie. is team more of the High
lander type, depending on hits and in
dividual ability more than on perfect
ly developed team work, although both
Griffith and Lajoie understand every
nook and corner of the national game.
The Highlanders have Chase and Kee-
ier, the Blues have Lajoie and Bradley;
the Athletics have nine men,
In the pitching department the Ath-
letics seem to excel. With Waddell,
Plank and Bender in condition, Connie
Mack has little cause for worry. The
former, the eccentric but brilliant
"Rube.' is pitching wonderful ball, be-
ing practically unbeatable with any
And it is a pretty safe bet that he
will continue to pitch wonderful ball
until another worlds series gives him
| a chance to blow up in the stretch.
| Cleveland has Joss and Bernhard as
slab stars, Joss in particular being in
superb form.
The Highlanders have Chesbro, Orth
and Hogg, all of whom show great
flashes of brilliancy and invincible
form, but no one of whom has dis
played consistent winning qualities at
all times. Orth and Hogg have done
better than Happy jack once as
great a pitcher as the game knew.
But Clark Griffith has developed a
hitting team, and how they have stung
the balli Chase, Keeler, Williams and
Laporte have shown such prowess with
the willow as to make them terrors
abroad and idols at home. Hal Chase,
whose wonderful fielding around first
base would keep him on any team if
he were only hitting 16S, has been
slaughtering the best offerings of the
best pitchers in the league, and unless
he runs into batting slump will finish
the season the sensation of 1906.
Keeler's hitting brings no great ap-
plause, because we all expect 1t of
Wee Willie. Williams and Laporte,
suggers of the Mike Donlin type, who
hit the ball often and hit it far, have
broken up many a. game for the boys
on the hill.

Edward Grail Says His HeIpmeet Had
Playful Way of Throwing Furni-

at Him
.IT CANNOT see how it is possible

((T CANNOT see how it is possible
for woman. a member of the
supposed weaker sex to make her
husbands life miserable by throwing
furniture at him; am anxious to see
what that kind of a woman looks like
and therefore / shall not take any ac-
tion in this petition for divorce until the
woman has been brought before me-"
Such was the statement Of Judge
Gibbs of department two of the SUI
periior court yesterday, after he had
heard the evidence in the petition for
divorce of Edward M. Grail against
Flora Grail.
Grail had asked for a divorce on the
ground of cruelty, alleging many pc
culiar things. He stated that his wife
had violent fits of temper during which
ware, furniture and bric-a-brac at her
devoted husbands head.
on other occasions, according to the
testimony introduced yesterday, the
gentle wife had applied the toe of her
dainty slipper to the basement of her
husbands neither garments, causing
considerable pain thereby.
Other allegations to the effect that
Mrs. Grail had dropped lamp on
hubby's head and had In various other
playful ways teased him into despera-
tion were made, and then Grail rested
his fate with the court.
But he was doomed to disappointment
and Judge Gibbs refused to grant the
decree until the wife had appeared be-
fore him and explained her playful
ways of batting hubby on the head with

Dentistry BY Proxy.

"There are plenty Of men," said a
Washington dentist. .:who work what
we call the proxy dodge. They'll visit
q dentist and tell him that a friend OF
theirs has such and such the matter
with his teeth and ask all sorts Of
questions as to what can be done to
such teeth in dental way. OF course,
no dentist can tell anything about the
requirements Of teeth needing atten-
ton until he looks at them, but the
proxy players are an insistent lot,
their main point being to find out In
that roundabout way just how much
pain there is going to be involved in
the work on their own teeth, suppos-
ing they muster up the nerve to have
that work started"
