Game Computer Beats Youngsters in a
Fast Field at BenningS.

George w. Brooke and Il. Is Cassatt Of
Philadelphia in the most stubbornly con
tested match of the day. This required
six games before a decision could be
reached.
The most interesting match was the
clash between Mackay and Clark and
Fearing and Scott Five games were
necessary and. considering the killing
pace. the principals held out well. Scott
Is rather large man and wears glasses,
but this In no wise seemed 10 act as a
handicap.
In the final game. when the score
stood lO-l3 against them. Mackay and
Clark succeeded In making II IL all aud
the game was set for five. The local
players got another ace before losing
their hand Fearing then served an ace
for his side, bringing tho score up TO
10 an. whereupon the New Workers re-
taliated by serving an ace each. and
then. oddly enough. each put himself out
by playing out of court.
The New Workers. with 1914 advan-
tage. looked like winners, but Scott came
TO The rescue for Boston by serving four
aces, winning 1916.

George Gould Says Russell Marding wal Not Return to
 Gould System.

St. Louis, May 3-The Globe Democrat today prints the fol- lowing signed statement from President George J. Gould, of Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain, with reference to:thernmors that Russell Harding is to return to that property:
 "Your message received en- quiring as to the truth of reports that have appeared in some news papers stating that MT. Harding would again enter the service of the Missouri Pacific Railway Company. There is no truth whatever in the report that any change of management is con- .templated. l have only seen MT. Harding once since he left our employ and have had no ne- gotiations with him whatever.
 Those who know George Gould best were slow in believing that MT. Harding, good railroad man that he is, would return to the Missouri Pacific. The statement issued by Mir. Gould will exert a good influence upon general con- ditions from the fact that some uneasiness has been caused by the insistent rumors which have been published by certain papers.
