chance for victory. Rheem. who performed

Iselin won only two games in each set,
they made splendid struggle In every
game, and Miss Sutton and Mrs. Pruyn
were forced to use all the finesse and speed
they knew to obtain the winning points
Miss Sutton's slashing hard drives were diff.
f1cult to gauge accurately in the poor light
that prevailed. with the result that many
a pretty return just slipped over the boun-
dairy marks
The young California girl was full of vim
and dash. and scarcely gave her partner
a chance for any work at all. She was all
over the court from net to back line. and
was very seldom caught of her balance be-
fore she had time to return a stroke.
Mrs. Pruyn played somewhat erratic
game. At times her net play and placing
were done with such clever execution that
her opponents could do nothing against
them. and these flashes of clever tennis

takes as once in the first set on her serve

Iselin could not touch:

some startling duels between this pair.
but invariably the western girl would have
q shade the better of the argument. Miss
Iselin's oiay up at the net was her best
asset and she sent many short smashes In
troublesome positions for her rivals.
In the concluding set the November COM
bination seemed to have warmed up better
to their work, and they won the second

the next FIVE games and the match.

The two old rivals in athletics. the Rhode
Island Methodists and the Brookland Ath-
letic Club, met Friday in hotly-contest-
ed practice game on the Brookland Field
capped by not having a regular pitcher
and lacking an outfeder. but by using their
shortstop as a pitcher, putting Outhelder
Steward in short, and using two bystanders
a victory by a score of to 1. The features
of the game were fast double play for
r. l. NJ. by Boernstein to Palmer to Souder
and a hard running catch Of line drive
from Champions bat by Tansi Of Brook

Both Simons of Brookland and Brooks

and throwing it far into right field, beat it
for home. which sanctuary he reached with
more or less flying colors.
Instantly Hurst was surrounded by foot

he chose that of Griffith, backed up by
the spectators. Mr.. Ganley was sent back

GOOD DAY FOR
TALENT AT PIMLICO

BALTIMORE, Md, April 27-The talent
experienced a good day yesterday on the
Pimlico track, four favorites ran home
in front. The feature was the third event
the Driving Park handicap, for three
year-olds and upward, at one mile 1t
was won by the favorite, The Clown, owned
by Robert H. Wright of this city, and
heavily played by the wise men. The
Clown opened at to 3, and was backed
down to an even-money choice. The race
dwindled down to a three-horse affair by
the scratching of Sonoma Belle and Ivan
hoe
Graziallo. the outsider in the betting,
gave the hackers of The Clown an awful
shaking up. as until several strides from
the wire it looked like the old campaigner
would land the money. Had there been
any other boy on The Clown than Lloyd
the result would have been probably diff
ferent. 1t was undoubtedly due to Lloyds
clever horsemanship that The Clown
showed his nose in the front at the finish.
Graziallo was rushed to the front by John
son at the rise of the barrier, The Clown
getting away second and Saylor, the other
entry of ]. E Madden, third. 1t was in
this order that they raced until within
fifty yards from the wire, where Lloyd
went to work on The Clown and won out
in the drive. Saylor, the second choice in
the betting. was never dangerous.
The Steeplechase, for four-year-olds and
upward, over the two-mile course. was
run in a driving rain. Five started and
there was not fall. The race was won
by the favorite, Dromedary, that found the
lengths from the second choice. Frank
Somers. With E. Heider in the saddle.
there was a strong play on Souvigny, but
the best the Hastings horse could do was

The Real Upset Here.
Cobmosa, a 6-to-1 shot, furnished the
real upset of the sport in the last race.
The talent picked Flavigny, that performed
we'll at the New Orleans meeting Fla
vigny was made a red-hot thing. backed
down from to l in the betting to to 8.
The choice never cut any figure in the re-
suit. Betsy Binford made all of the trou-
BILE, and it was only in the last few strides
that Cobmosa managed to get the verdict
by a neck. Flavigny could do no better
than finish fourth.

Elberfeld's Great Rap.

Then Elberfeld came to the front with
q great rap TO right field and Hoffman came
home. The Washingtons had three men
on bases in the second inning, but could
not score. In the fourth inning New York
made their second tally.
Elberfeld drove hot grounder through
Lave Cross leg to begin with. Whether to
call that an error or a base hit do not
know. 1t would probably not have gone
through anybody else's legs. But that is
not Laves fault. The old boy, who Is
built like pair of calpers. is one of the
fastest basemen in the business. He has
more space than anybody else to cover, be-
tween his knees. and 1T Is all the more
credit to him that he does 1t so effectively.
This grounder got by him, however and
Elberfeld who is as fly on his feet as a
