YOUNG STRACHAN
IS TENNIS WINNER
TAKES JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
AND CUP
Exciting Contests Seen on the Closing
Day of Tournament at Del
Monte-Miss Sutton
Victorious

BY Associated Press.
DEL MONTE, Sept. 9.-Champions OF
the day brought out many spectators to
witness the close of the Pacific states
tennis tournament The morning was
cool and with skies so overcast as to
make perfect tennis weather, there being
no sun in the eyes to bother either con-
testant. In the junior singles Harold
Getz and Bobby Strachan met, the former
some three years senior and nearly twice
as big as Strachan.
Strachan took the first set, to 3. He
kept the lead in the second set, running
to to 8 and deuce, when Getz rallied
and won out with 8 to 7. The third set
was taken by Getz, 6 to q; the fourth set
by Strachan, to 5. Strachan took the
fifth to 4, winning the match, Junior
championship and cup.
In the afternoon champions were de-
throned. Southern California, in the per-
son of Miss Florence Sutton, took the
women's singles Pacific states champion.

own in the first set up to A to 4. The ole
tennis maxim that only Sutton can bea'
Sutton held true, and Miss Florence
won the set with to 4. In the early part
of the second set Miss Hotchkiss again
quite maintained her reputation for good
all around playing, but Miss Sutton's re-
markable steadiness and superior ac-
curacy gave her the set with to 8.
1t took five closely contested sets, COM
prising In all sixty-six games, to decide
who should be champion in mems singles.
Both Melville H. Long, the holder of the
championship the past year, and Mr.. Nc
Laughlin. the challenger and winner of
the all-comers tournament, played superb
tennis, and the result was in doubt till
the last ball was hit The first set fell
to Mclaughlin with the score of 13 to IL.
Mclaughlin also took the second set af-
ter game struggle put up by Long, at
6 to a. In the third set each man won
his service up to 4 to 4. Here Long ral-
lied and by clever placing gained the set,
also with to 4. In the fourth set each
man won his service till deuce in games
was reached, when Long ran out the set
with to 5.
This made two games all, and the spec
tators' interest in the match became
thrilling. Mclaughlin, the challenger, be-
ing of course the favorite.
In the beginning of the last set Long
appeared somewhat exhausted, though he
plays much less strenuous game than
Mclaughlin, and the latter by poor side
line placing and fine play ran the score
of to 0, until 1t looked like a walkoyer
for the challenger. Here, however, Long
rallied and took the next games, working
the score to to 4, when MCLAUGHLIN
took the set, cup and championship OF
the Pacific states with score of 6 to A.
1t was an excellently close and we'll con-
tested match. Long won thirty-two
games and Mclaughlin thrty-four.

run home. which was made in quick time.
Just as soon as sails could be furled and
the decks cleared the tired tars made It

stay at Dimmick's hospitable hotel on the
isthmus. The yachts left San Pedro Sat-

At the isthmus the clubs steward took
charge of the commissary department,

TO Avalon was made, and in the run back
to the isthmus in the afternoon the fleet
was becalmed for several hours.

TABLETS MADE, BURIED, THEN
UNEARTHED.
ExpIoIters Come to Grief IN Digging
UP "Noah's Diary7-Mohigan
Copper Used as Basis Of
Gigantic Fraud.

Detroit, Mich.-An alleged copy Of
Noah's diary, engraved upon cop
per tablet dug up in Michigan ard Of
fered for sale to a Wisconsin col
lector, has resulted in uncovering one.
Of the cleverest swindles Of recent
years. A former secretary of state is
implicated in the affair and with him
are university museum curator and
other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis
Of the enterprise, which consisted in
manufacturing ancient relics out Of
copper, painting them green to rep
resent verdigris, dipping them In cor
rosive acid, and burying them In
mounds, after which they were dug
up by relic hunting expeditions under
the leadership Of the promoters.
The afidavits Of prominent citizens
that they had seen the relics dug out
Of the ground were sufficient to secure
their sale to credulous collectors, no
one dreaming that the prehistoric age
might have been only II months be-
fore Indian copper implements, battle
axes Of leaf copper, well tempered
spearheads, and other supposed rare
and anciently corroded relics that
have been treasured in Michigan and
outside museums are declared to be
bogus, with the result that all collec
tions Of the sort are thrown under
more or less suspicion.
AS a finishing touch to gigantic
swindle the relic manufacturers
branched off from Indian relics. They
went so far a sto dig up in the pres
ence of reputable witnesses bronze
tablets inscribed with hieroglyphicl
and symbols Of the biblical deluge an'
the tower Of Babel. The takers woul,
have had collectors believe tha

the rose-colored room, but an equally
good effect can be secured by using
water blue OF green in light and agree
able shades. says a writer in tho
Woman's Home Companion. If rose
color is preferred, a pleasing tint can
be mado by sparing and careful adj
dition Of yermilion, or Of the scarlet
used IN carriage painting, to cream
white. This means that a small amount
Of yellow ochre Is first added to the
white paint and thoroughly incorpor
ated with it before the yermilion or
scarlet is added. The woodwork Of the
room should be painted cream white,
and the walls have three coats Of pink
the first two considerably darker
than the last, as the last is lighter, 1t
gives misty effect which is very
soft and satisfying. After the last coat
is well dried a border OF cream white
should be stenciled at the top Of the
wall next the ceiling. It may be wide
or narrow, as one prefers; but If wide,
the lower part Of it, for third Of the
width, should be family or thinly
painted, in order to have il blend
properly into the wall 1t is necessary
only to use a full brush at the top
and a comparatively empty one at
the bottom Of the stencil to secure
this effect, and even an unintelligent
workman can do 1t If the object Is
explained to him.
II narrow border Is used, what is
called a floating design may be
added to the wall; and this also should
be varied by the use Of more or less
paint in the brush, SO that some Of the
floating forms should look like the
nero reflection Of the others The
furniture Of this room would - prefer
ably Of cream-white enamel to match

natural wood could be used If more
convenient. The curtains should be Of
pink chambray or pink denim under
white muslin, and it will add to the
beauty Of the room If the counterpans
Is made in the same way. A sage-greer
carpet harmonizes exceedingly wei
with this scheme Of color and gives
what one may call a pastel effect TX
