were the best three out Of Ave sets.
The first set went to Thomson and
Stevenson, Cd. Thomson's cross-court
strokes were very brilliant and Steven
son ably backed his partner up. Some
Of the latter's passing shots down the
side lines being perfect. The second
set also went TO the defenders of the
championship, who captured II 6-2.
Baldwin did especially fine work In
this set. his smashes being very deadly.
The third set was n complete surprise
Savage and Baldwin showing excellent
head work and combining hard driving
with first class placing, forced the
game to the limit and won by 60.
On paper this looks q bad beating
but In reality many Of the games went
TO deuce and vantage several times be-
fore the winning stroke was made.
The fourth set also went to Savage
and Baldwin. who continued to play
In excellent form. Score, 6-3. The final
and deciding set was vhirlwind L,
from the jump. One all. two all, three
all and four all was called and ~ far
II looked like an even chance. Then
Thomson and Stevenson made a SUI
premc effort and captured Savage's
service making the score "a. The tenth
game was bitterly fought out, the play
all round being first class; Stevenson &
driving being terrific and Savage show
ing some Of the best form he has ex-
hibited at Puunene. However. tho

For country players the form shown

No Increase For Negro Schools.

The Alabama Legislature has just
voted down bill offered by Mr..
Nathan Rowe, of Madison county to
increase the appropriation to the
Negro school at Normal.
The colored Albanian Of Mont
gomery calls attention to the fact
that of the 100000 appropriated by
the legislature not a dollar of 1t goes
to the Negro high schools,
But let not the Negro despair. If
all the white people can get educa-
ton they will then see the need of
giving the Negro a chance. Once is
not always and twice Is not forever
The Negro Is used to waiting; and
while he waits he can help himself
most wondrously.
Now that the temperance wave is
on he can break his whiskey jug,
stop his pistol toting and turn the
money he has been using for these to
the education of his children. If
these determinations which seem to
be against him can be made to serve
to wake him up to the fact that he
can help himself they will prove a
blessing in disguise.-Mobile Press.
