MISS SUTTON NOW
IN TENNIS FINAL

NEW YORK. May miss May Sutton
and Paulding Fosdick on one hand and
Miss Juliet Adee and c. F. Watson, jr.,
on the other were successful yesterday
in qualifying for the final round in the
mixed doubles tennis tournament at the
St. Nicholas rink. Miss Sutton and Fos-
dick defeated Miss Nora Iselin and Charles
E. Sands, 60, st. Sc. and Miss Adee
and Watson won from Miss Anita Pea
body and Edgar w. Leonard. So. 50.
Miss Sutton secured the second and third
sets of her match practically unaided.
Miss Iselin and Sands came up to the net
and played a lively game. but the Califor-
MIA girl proved equal to covering both sides
of the court. She met the ball on the
volley and cut to the sides for cross-court
shots so skillfully that she won the match
despite the closeness of the score.
During the third set Sands. the ex-
champion court tennis player, who is to
meet Miss Sutton tomorrow. endeavored
to outplay the girl singie-handed Sands
was not so adroit in finding places In the
opposing court as Miss Sutton
Miss Adee more than held her own in
the first set Of her match She was un-
tiringly aggressive against Miss Peabody
In the second set Miss Peabody showed
signs of fatigue, and on all Of her attempts
at driving she either sent the ball sailing
into the net or out of court. SO that the
opposing pair won easily on her errors.

Manager Larry has a fund of stories
about Joe Cantillon's career as an umpire.
Here are a couple: philadelphia was play
Ing Washington one day and Win Mercer
was pitching for the Senators. We scored
bout eight runs in the first four innings,
pened to give Washington the worst of a
close decision at second base. AS Cantillon
came back to the pitchers box Mercer pro-
tested against the decision. I suppose,
Joe. you gave it as you saw it. but to see
the play properly you were in the wrong
position
Judging from the looks of the score

position ever since the game started re-
torted Joe.
Another day Joe put Harry Davis out
of the game and Davis at once slammed
his glove to the bench and started to fol-
low 1t. Come back here yelled Cantillon.
Get your glove and go back to first base.
You are too blamed willing to quit"
Joe during his last year an umpire
entertained grudge against Lew Criger.
We were playing at Boston one day, and

whether it went foul or fair, inasmuch as
the umpire. when standing behind the
pitcher, could not get a good view. Well,

Cooley followed with a three-bagger along
the right foul line. FultZ scored, and as
Cooley pulled up at third, Criger yelled

and Boston won In the fourteenth inning.
But that night the Boston righthelder and
Mig Cuppy told Cantillon that the ball was
hit foot and half fair. He never could
forgive Criger and I'll bet Criger never
drew anything but strikes when he was at
bat and Cantillon was umpiring. One day
Criger made an awful kick about strike
that Cantillon called on him. but all the
satisfaction he received was this shot: 1t
was foul ball. was it?'
Wont you ever forget that?' asked
Criger.

OF INTEREST TO ANGLERS.
Rule for Reading Figures Showing
Condition Of the Water.

Now that the fishing season is looming
up again. there are frequent inquiries and
complaints about the turbidity records at
the Great Falls published daily in The
Star. OF course. The Star Is not respon-
sible for the change in the system, but it Is
a little hard on the devoted angler who
has been In the habit Of thinking up his
fish stories by the old ''box-and-ball"
method to switch over and decide from an
arbitrary table whether it is worth while
to go to the river and manufacture new
stock Of piscatorial narratives.
The old box-andSballa system was simple
and easy to understand, and the fishermen
had become used to carrying the relative
readings in their heads: but the new sys-
tenn, while 1t is more accurate and scien-
tif1c. has nothing tangible about 1t to hold
to, from the average fisherman's viewpoint.
Therefore, In response to numerous re-
quests, The Star publishes again the rela-
tive turbidity readings. Fishermen who are
Interested may cut out the tables and
paste them In their hats.

Throughout the journey he ran in the mid

showed and the fast time he made over a
track that was far from being in perfect

big son of Ben Strome would be hard to
beat for the big event on Thursday.

Manager Frank Chance Of the Cubs yester-
day, they would have first division club

look any too good right now. It has too
many youngsters, who play ball well enough
In spurts but when the actual moment

Members of the worlds champions are
complaining because they are forbidden to
make any demonstration In the coacher 8

Sheridan has the following pointed remarks
to make on the subject: THE players have
carried this coaching too far and brought

1t would seem that the stronger a team
games even when defeated but losing close
games Is not sign Of strength. In any
event. the teams that lead in that respect
are all in the second division. The WASH
fngtons lead the American League in de-
feats by margin of one run. They have
lost five such battles. while in the National
League the Brooklyns and Cincinnatis lead
with five each.
