HARVARD TENNIS CHAMPS CLEAN SWEEP OF H0N0RS Niles and Dabney Defeat Cor don and Gerlach in the
 Final Round.

Philadelphia, Oct. Ton the courts of the Merion Cricket club at Haver- ford to-day, the racquet wielders rep iresenting Harvard university made a clean sweep for intercollegiate lawn tennis honors. Having already won the singles championship by securing all four places in the semi-tinal round, the crimson to-day captured the dou- bles title, N. w. Niles and A. Dab ney defeating in the final round, Spen> cer Gordon and A. Gerlach, of Prince ton, by three sets to none.
 After their victory over Pell and Gordon of Harvard last week, the Princeton pair were thought to have good chances for the championship. Niles and Dabney, however, held the advantage at all times except the first part of the third set and then they overcame a lead of AZ against them and won out. The service of both the victors was effective and both hit harder than the Princeton men. A high wind blew across the court which kept the general play from being quite up to championship form. Gordon played well for Princeton, but his partner gave him cratic support.
 The individual singles championship will be decided tomorrow between the four Harvard survivors as follows:
 Niles vs. Pell; Gardner vs. Dabney, winners meeting.
 Summarizes:
 Doubles, final round-N. w. Niles and A, Dabney, Harvard, beat $. Cor don and A. Gerlach, Princeton, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.
 Yale and Harvard are now tied al four each for points on the champion ship cup, seven being necessary for permanent possession. The other points are Pennsylvania, 3; Princeton 8; and Columbia, 2.

GOOD LUCK FOR CR0TON GENEROUS CITIZENS GIFT Morton F. Plant Hands Over to Town Treasurer Note
 for $25,000.

New London, Oct. About one- quarter of the indebtedness of the town of Groton has been wiped out of existence by the destruction of the note of Morton F. Plant for 5000 against the town. MT. Plant took up the note for that amount last June On Friday, Oct. 4, he paid visit in per- son to the Mystic River National bank and handed the note to Town Treasur- CT John o. Fish and within an houi the papers were duly cancelled.
 ''Mr.. Plant fully intended to return the note at an earlier date, but cir cumstances conspired to prevent his doing so continued Mir. Fish, His trip abroad taken soon after he took up the $25,OOO indebtedness was one thing that delayed the cancellation. Of course there was no hurry about going through this formality as I be- lieved that he had made every prep aration to have the note destroyed to meet any emergency"
 MT. Plants generous act of taking up one-quarter of the entire indebted ness of Groton has produced feel ing of satisfaction from one end of the town to the other Some of the oldest taxpayers when they have vis- tied the Plant mansion at Eastern Point and have become acquainted with the generosity and immense wealth of the benevolent new taxpayer through what he had already done for the town, nave been moved to re- mark that MT. Plant may after all be the salvation of the town. The un- burdening of more than $100,00O in- debtedness on the town would be the greatest boon it has ever enjoyed, is the way the conservative taxpayers feel about the matter.

I believe that the honors will be carried off beyond question by the representa- tives of the National league To my mind, the Chicago National league club as now constituted, is one of the best pieces of baseball machinery ever put together, and on form they should win the championship beyond the shadow cf Q doubt"
 R. B. Johnson, president of the Amer ican league, says:
 The winning by Detroit of the Amer ican league championship was in the nature of a surprise to the followers of the national game, Few there were who picked the Tigers early in the sea- son to capturethe highest honors in our organization. Much of the credit for this splendid achievement is due to Manager Jennings. With Detroit as our contending club, we hope to hold the honors for the worlds champion ship, so gloriously won by the White SoX in the fall of 19)6

PUBLICITY ABOUT THE PLAGUE.

PUBLICITY ABOUT THE PLAGUE.
 Bubonic plague makes its occasional way into the news from the Pacific coast. The reports are enlightening, because the very fact that honest news is permitted to appear marks a mighty reform in the national campaign against the foreign invasion of epi- demic diseases. It is only five years ago that San Francisco was actually and actively fostering the plague with in its borders. by its disastrous policy of coneealment; abusing it's own local health board for attempting to limit the infection by spreading the truth; currupting all it's newspapers, through the utterly fallaeious idea that busi- ness interests would be best conserved by a policy of suppression, not of the disease, but of the facts; and finally extending it's influence to the United States government, and forcing out of the federal health service, a brave. de- voted and able servant.

 VARSITY LINE TWICE Once for Fair Touchdown and Once on an On- Side
 Kick. FOUR NEW COACHES HERE Philbin at Left Halfback on First and Berger on @ Scrub Team.
FOUR NEW COACHES HERE

The practice at Yale field yesterday afternoon was the toughest of the year and the second eleven crossed the line of the varsity twice, although one of the touchdowns, made after an on side, did not count. Both the touchdowns for the second eleven were made by Mitchell, who was playing at right halfback.
 The first eleven was able to score but once and then the elevens had lined up on the 35-yard line instead of in the center of the field. The first eleven advanced rapidly to the goal of the second and Wylie made a run thrc,lgh the line and down. No at tempt was made to kick a goal.
 A surprise was sprung when Berger went to left halfback on the second eleven after playing on the first eleven all the year Philbin, who has been playing left half on the second eleven took Berger's place on the first. An other change was the playing of Burke at fullback on the second eleven, He has been playing substitute end on the first
 Brides was not out to practice yes- terday and Fred Murphy, the right halfback, did not go into the scrim- mage. Bomar played all through the scrimmage at right llalfback. During the latter part of the practice several of the members of the squad not on the regular eleven were given a try out.
 There were several new coaches at the field yesterday afternoon, George Adee, 1895, who used to play quarter back, Henry Holt, who played in 1902, Weymouth, the fullback in 1903, and Chester Neal. After the scrimmage they gave the individual players spe- cial coaching. The other coaches were: Head Coach Billie Knox, Jack Owsley, George Chadwick, Dewitt Cochran and Carl Flanders.

Cards Barred from Mail.

The injuries sustained by many
postal employees while handling
mail, in which post cards, ornamen.
ted with glass, mica. and so-called
diamond dust, form a part, have
resulted in the PRONUNCIATION of an
order prohibit ~ such cards from
admission to she mails unless en-
closed in envelopes.
The CLASSY particles used in the
ornamentation of the pictures on
the cards rub off easily and cut int
the hands of the mail handlers like
little knives and create sores that
are hard to cure.
Reports have been received from
several Post-office divisions where
postal clerks have had their eye
sight injured by the dust from
these cards, and a general cutlery
has gone up against their admission
to the mails unless contained in
envelopes.
