MASCULINE SKILL
BEAT MISS SUTTON

NEW YORK, May 9.-Masculine skill
with the lawn tennis racquet proved too
much for Miss May Sutton yesterday at the
st. Nicholas Rink. The phenomenal girl
wielder of the racquet lost her match to
Charles E. Sands, two sets to one, by
score of 60, 3-6 and Go.
The competition was remarkable In sew
eral respects. 1t was contest between a
girl player who had won international
honors and a veteran of lawn tennis and
ex-champion at court tennis. Many hun
dreds Of dollars were wagered on the result
In this feature of the game Miss Sutton
was the favorite, although the greater part
Of the wagers were made upon the result
Of the set scoring.
The contest created an amazing amount
of interest among the fashionable followers
Of the game.
Sands began the service. He made use
OF a powerful overhead stroke, and won
the first three points OF the match on Miss
Sutton's outs and nets. The girl had re-
ceived such an ovation when she appeared
upon the court that she seemed discon-
certed and played unsteadily. Sands Won
the first set.
Miss Sutton by changes of speed and
clever passing won the second set, but lost
the third.

BURNS GIVEN
DECISION OVER O'BRlEN

LOS ANGELES. May 9.-Tommy Burns
of Los Angeles last night won the battle
with Philadelphia Jack OBrien before
the Pacific Athletic Club. after twenty
rounds of fighting that was for the most
part a foot race.
O'Brien ran away from Burns from the
first round to the finish and only OCCASION
ally was the latter able to overtake him.
Then O'Brien invariably clinched with
Burns and held on until the referee pried
them apart. The crowd hooted and jeered
O'Brien and hurled all sorts of raiIlery at
him as he raced about the ring.
Few blows Of any vigor were landed by
either man, and neither suffered any seri-
GUS damage.
Both of O'Briens eyes were damaged and
scarcely scratch. Burns showed his dis
gust with the tactics OF his opponent and
called to him repeatedly in loud voice to
though in terror Of his antagonist. Now
and then Burns would overtake him and
beat him on the back. O'Brien attempting
wildly to duck and dodge away, until
Burns, weary Of the foot race, would stand
in the center Of the ring with his hands to
his sides and wait for O'Brien to come to
a halt in his race around the ropes.
O'Brien landed many blows at long range
on Burns head and face dering MS capers
about the Enclosure. but they were light
and without effect. The referee had the
greatest difficulty In prying O'Brien loose
from Burns. The referee cautioned O'Brien
repeatedly about holding Burns had all Of
the better of the inhghting and laced his
opponent terrif1cally about the face with
short arm lefts. O. Brien's holding of Burns
glove prevented his using it in the clinches
In the second round the men wrestled in
the center of the ring and both fell fiat to
the floor.
In the ninth round Burns, without regard
to O'Brien's constant efforts to escape,
rushed after him and cornered him twice
in the angles Of the arena and inflicted Sc
we're punishment. The latter made no eff
get away. Each round was largely a repe-
tition Of the preceding one. Burns had the
better of most Of them. whenever he was
able to corner his man and get at him.
The twelfth round was strongly in Burns
favor. During this round Burns landed on
O'Brien's left eye with a terrific overland
right, the blood streaming down O'Brien's

urer; Lieut.. John w. Crawford, Mrs WILL
lam H. Hoeke, Miss Elizabeth Oliver Miss

present. Encouraging reports as to the
song festival to be given by 800 picked
voices from the public schools at the New
National Theater May 10 and IT, for the
benefit Of the local playground fund, were
received.
It was announced that boxes had been
taken by Mrs. Cowles, sister of Mrs. Roose-
Welt; Mrs. Robert Bacon, wife Of the assist
ant secretary Of state, and Mrs. Anderson,
wife Of Justice Thomas H. Anderson, and
that blocks OF seats have been ordered by
many other patrons and patronesses of the
festival who are working In the interest Of
the playground movement.
A misunderstanding. it is said. has arisen
In the schools as to the nature of the per-
formance to be given the afternoon of May
16, which has been styled dress re-
hearsal." 1t was declared by Chairman
West at the meeting yesterday that this
performance will be exactly the same as
that the following evening, In every respect.
The decorations will be the same the songs
ana costumes the same and the Marine
Band will render the instrumental music.
Prices have been made merely nominal for
this performance, because 1t Is the desire
of Miss Alys E. Bentley, director of the
| chorus. and Of the managing committee to
stimulate an interest in good music among
| the school pupils. Superintendent Chancel-
| lor has ordered that those desiring to go to
the afternoon concert be excused from
school early enough to allow them to reach
the theater by o'clock. This performance,
1t Is explained, Is intendt chiefly for the
friends and relatives of the children in the
chorus and for the pupils Of the public
schools in general.
A committee of young ladies yesterday
went about the city in a carriage provided
for the purpose of William F. Downey and
distributed about forty of the art posters,
designed by public school students, adver-
Using the song festival. They were put at
prominent business points and in places
where they will be viewed by society people,
These posters, 1t is stated, have excited eX-
ceptional interest in the event Of next week.

KILLED FOR A DRINK.
Tragedy in saloon-Auto Is Used to
Prevent Lynching.


Prevent Lynching.
: WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. May o.
Thos. w. Troy Of New York was hurried
from here to Miami yesterday afternoon in
an automobile which was run at top speed
in order to prevent him being lynched for
shooting George N. Newcomb to death.
The tragedy occurred in a saloon few
minutes after Troy came ashore from the
steamer Cecilia, which put in here from
South American ports. Troy walked into
the saloon and became involved in a quar-
rel with Newcomb. who had entered while
Troy was drinking.
The quarrel was caused BY Newcomb re-
fusing to drink with Troy. II will make
you drink" said Troy, pulling a pistol.
Newcomb still refused. and Troy fired two
bullets into him, causing instant death.
Troy was arrested and the coroner sum-
moned a jury, which returned a verdict of
murder. Meanwhile Newcomb's friends
gathered and swore they would lynch Troy.
The crowd started for Troy, but Sheriff
Martin forced the prisoner into an auto
mobile and rushed him to Miami.
Troy says he left the steamer in order to
hurry to New York by train. He claims he
acted in self-defense.

face until the latter called to his seconds
something about his injury and shook his
head in vain. Again in the fifteenth round
Burns caught his man going away and
laid open the same eye again, which had
been patched up with court plaster.
The twentieth and final round was as
tame the others.
Probably 5000 persons were in the pa
vilion. It has seating capacity Of $500.
The betting was all in O'Briens favor.
It started at 10 to 8 and at the hour of
the commencement was down to 10 to 81
on O'Brien. Few large bets were made.
Burns bet $1,000 in his favor. Burns
weighed in at 175 pounds and O'Brien was
eight pounds lighter.
Before the beginning of the fight Referee
Eyton declared all bets off under instruc-
lions from Manager A. c. Corey of the Pa
cific Athletic Club. Eyton refused to give
the reasons for this action.

CENTRAL ORGANIZATION.
Of Alexandria County to
Combine


The movement for county organization in
Alexandria county received impetus at the
meeting of the Falls Church Improvement
Society Monday night. In response to the
action Of the Ballston society week ago,
calling for meeting at Ballston Of the
officers with three additional delegates from
each village society, the following delega-
ton was chosen to represent Falls Church:
President. A E. Rowell, West End. Va;
vice president H. A. Fellows, East Falls
Church; secretary, F. A. Whitley; assistant
secretary, Percy Trip; treasurer, Miss M.
Gundry; delegates, DIR. r. A. Dawson, M.
E. Church and G. w. Hawxhurst. all Of
Falls Church.
1t was understood that any other mem
come at the meeting and that several ladies'
from Falls Church and other places would
attend.
The Clarendon society, like that Of Falls
Church, has a mixed membership and its
secretary is a woman. So it was considered
desirable to invite women to the central
society meetings.
A question was raised at the meeting
Monday night as to the standing of the
Falls Church society In Alexandria county
affairs, for Falls Church Is mainly In Fair
fax county. But the meeting was in Alex
andria county at the residence Of Mr.. H.
A. Fellows and the general feeling was
that some proper basis Of representation for
the Alexandria county part of the town
could be agreed on at Ballston. when the
central organization is to be effected. at
the meeting next Monday. The Falls
Church society has been interested in sew
eral Of the problems which will come at
once before the central society. notably In
the suppression Of drinking, gambling and
other vicious resorts near Washington, and
at the meeting Monday night c. e. Lewis
and C. H. Greathouse of the Fort Myer
Heights association were present and asked
that aid be further extended In maintain-
ing the orderly conditions which have pre-
vailed for two years In the Virginia sub
urbs Of Washington.
Cooperation was also asked for in road
Improvement schools and public interests
generally, and attention was called to the
condition Of NJ street in Georgetown from
Wisconsin avenue to Aqueduct bridge. It
that thoroughfare in reaching their busi-
ness In Washington should join In a protest
to the Commissioners against the drinking
and rowdyism witnessed there daily.
Additional business transacted by the
Falls Church society was the reading OF
the treasurer's report, showing Sol dues,
S155 social and other receipts and S115 ex-
penditures for the year; the election OF
Percy Trip as assistant secretary; the
adoption of an amendment adjusting pay
ment OF dues and a resolution calling COM
mittees to renewed activity.
After the business session was a social
| with singing and refreshments.
The Fort Myer Colonial Heights Associa-
ton at its meeting last night selected al
delegates to the Ballston meeting for county
| following: President, G. B. Wadleigh; vice
president, @. e. Lewis; secretary, c.. H,
Greathouse: delegates, VIM. H. E. McShea
| @. B. Kicker and 8. q. Stats.

THIRD ROUND FATAL
TO WOMEN GOLFERS

NEW CASTLE, ireland, May 9.-Boister-
Gus weather. increasing to a regular gale in
the afternoon, prevailed yesterday, when
the second and third heats of the womens
golf championship were decided Much in
terest was evinced in the play of the two
American competitors, the Misses Margaret
and Harriet Curtis.
The latter, who Is the present holder of
the American championship was one of the
principals in what proved to be the most
acutely exciting tie of the day. Her OPP
ponent was Miss Violet Hezlet Of Port
Rush, who had on the previous day Gre
ated such sensation by defeating Miss
Dorothy Campbell, the Scottish champion.
Bothered by Strong Wind.
Clearly bothered by a strong sea wind,
Miss Curtis failed to reproduce the fine
form she had shown Tuesday, and at
the end Of the outward nine holes stood in
the discouraging position of down. From
that point, however, she reverted to her IA
miliar skillful game, and, playing with
courage and determination, wiped off her
arrears and led at the sixteenth green. On
the seventeenth and again on the eighteenth
green only two-foot put stood between
her and victory, but on both occasions she
broke down, and an extra hole had to be
played. This Miss Curtis won, and so the
match, as she deserved to do.
Luck was persistently against the Ameri-
can champion, whose ball seemed eager for
mischief and often refused to remain in the
hole. The homeward nine holes she ac-
complished in forty-six strokes, no mean
achievement in the teeth of the wind and
driving rain.
Miss Margaret Curtis also came success
fully through this round, beating the Cork
player Mrs. A. G. Sharman Crawford, by
up and to play.
Third Round Disastrous.
The afternoon and third round proved
disastrous to Americas representatives.
The weather was wilder than ever, and
Miss H. Curtis COPIED with 1t less success
fully than she had done in the morning.
Miss Maud Titterton of Musselburg. who
was opposing her. however, played right
at the top of her game, giving no quarter,
and routed her by SO overwhelming mar
gin as nine holes, the match being all over
on the eleventh green.
Meanwhile Miss M. Curtis was testing
the ability of Miss May Hezlet, and found
it equal to her reputation. The Irish wom-
an, playing with fine judgment, won a we'll
fought match on the sixteenth green by
Up and 2 to play.

LOS ANGELES, May 9.-After the Burns

could be secured for the calling off Of bets
on the fight. The fight was advertised to be
for a 10000 purse, but this was disputed in
some quarters.
1t is rumored that there was wrangle
over the size Of the purse, which did not
come up to expectations, and the dispute
arising from this resulted in the bets being
declared off.
