USUAL SURPRISE IN
TENNIS TOURNAMENT

SALT LAKE, Sept. 1.-One of the
surprises of the Intermountain tennis
tournament was sprung Thursday
when Conrad defeated Rodney Bad
ger on the Country Club courts in
two straight sets, working his way
to clash with Myers. for position
in the semi-finals, which will be
played Friday afternoon at O'Clock.
lhe first set went to deuce and was
finally won by Conrad in Sc. In
the second he defeated Badger by a
score of 63.
1t had been generally believed that
Badger would defeat his man and
thus go up against Myers. But Con-
rad came up with a wonderfully
strong game and had the game well
in hand from the start. He covered
the court with remarkable speed and
placed his returns with accuracy and
precision which puzzled his opponent.
1t is an old saying among local ten
mis- players that you can never tell
what Conrad will do until he does it.
In practice games there are many
who can play all around him. But
get the veteran into a tournament
and his game is improved SO per cent.
He is always playing, is careful and
sure, and makes the hardest kind
of fight with the best of them. He
had been playing a strong game dur
| ing the present tournament, but it
had hardly been expected that he
would defeat Badger. The uneXpect-
ed happened however, and the game
he exhibited was a revelation to the
old-timers.
The winner of the match between
/ Myers and Conrad will play Ned Gar
nett for place in the finals, to meet
the victor of the Brown-Neel match
which will be played Saturday after
noon.
Brown and Badger practically won
the championship in doubles when
they defeated Neel and Whitney rath-
er easily Thursday by scores of 63
GA. Whitney was off his game, and
their opponents walked off with the
victory. The results of Thursday S
play was as follows:

| KING Of THE GAMBLERS
LOSES ILL GOTTEN GAINS

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Richard
Garfield, once king of American gam
blers, is near ruin and faces his fin
ish. Today, with the racing season
in blast and the summer resorts at
Saratoga crowded, Canfield's gam
bling palace at the spa bears the sign,
For Sale-Entire Block, with Build
ings."
Wealthy men of every state in the
union and of many foreign countries
have played in Canfield's Saratoga
club or walked through it's famous
Italian gardens. There, the political
offices of New York more than once
field has to sell it, all because he is
"brOke."
The law and Wall street have com
bined to conclude the career of the
man who won 100000 from Reg
gle" Vanderbilt and held on to the
money. Garfield, through his Sara
toga and New York gambling houses
has made, it is estimated, half a mil
lion year, and up to five years. ago,
although an eXtrayagant liver, he had
managed to keep a large fortune.
Then came Jerome and his raids. The
district attorney kept after the gam
bier until the palace of chance was
closed tight in Manhattan and his
principal source of income was shut
off.
Meanwhile the Saratoga club had
been losing money, too, but the king
of gamblers" had not reduced the
lavishness of his expenditures. Ev-
cry year he spent fortune in his
European trips. Then Attorney Del
ehanty won suit against him for a
heavy fee earned in helping him es-
cape from Jerome's clutches.
And finally Garfield was on the
wrong side of the stock market and
dropped $250,000 in the recent
slump. He gave it up at this and
hence the order to sell the Saratoga
place, which will not bring a quarter
of what it has cost him. He needs
the money.

MIKE SCHRECK WAS
EASY FOR KAUFMAN
SCHRECK WAS TIRED OUT AMI
TRIED TO GET AWAY WITH
A FOUL.

RINGSIDE PAVILION, San Fran
cisco, Aug 29.-Mike Schreck was
little more than punching bag in
the hands of Al Kaufman tonight.
He went to his knees from a body
blow in the seventh round and tried
to make it appear that he had been
struck foully. Referee Roche stood
over him and told him to get up and
fight. He shook his head mournfully
but refused to bulge and was count
ed out.
Roche said afterward that it was
fair punch and had caught Schreck
in the stomach. ''He was tired out,
and | guess. he thought he might
claim a foul and get away with it.
Favorite Disappointment.
The only round in which Schreck
had his own way was the fifth. All
the rest were Kaufman's. He landed
with lefts and rights on the Dutch
mans face at will, and had Schreck
staggering many times. Schreck was
always full of fight, but he strapped
in a laundering way. He was shori
with the majority of his punches. IL
some of the rounds he tried to bring
Kaufman to his level by hammerine
at the body, but the native son tool
turn at this kind of fighting anf
beat Schreck at his own game. In {
nutshell, Mike was a sore disappoint
ment to the crowd who made him {
| top choice at odds of 10 to Z.
A physician who examined Schrect
after the fight said that there was
not the slightest evidence of a fou
punch.

Repartec.

At dinner given by high official
at Washington, distinguished
Frenchman, who was visiting this
country as a delegate to certain
industrial conference, gave express
sion to eXtravagant praise of his be-
loved France. His neighbor at table,
on the right, would smile and bow in
polite acquiescence every time the
visitor would mention an instance of
Frances superiority above every 9th
er nation. 1.-THE French exclaimed
he, 'are the politest people on earth. y
The neighbor at the table again
smiled and bowed.
A little piqued by the others 81
lence, the Frenchman asked: "Am-
orleans admit, do they not, the SUI
periority of the French in polite
ness?"
ooh, yes" came the reply; that's
our politeness. "-Lippincott's.

SPORTING GOSSIP
AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP
FROM THE COAST
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The automobile race meet at Tan
foran was the last Sunday affair
that will be held with the approval
of the Automobile Dealers associa-
ton. The directors of that organiza-
ton will assume control of racing
north of Tehachapl, and no permits
will be given for Sunday meets. The
association has gone on record as
unalterably opposed to Sunday meets.
The members of the association as
sert that Sunday racing hurts the
game, and they feel that drastic ac-
ton is necessary at this time to pre-
vent the spread of the evil. Assist
ant Secretary N. r. Cooper of the
association expressed the views of
the members of the organization
when he said in explaining the ac-
ton of the directors, that the dealers
would rather have 100 prospective
buyers than 1000 mere spectators.
The meets are held to sell cars and
the gate money is not the considera-
ton. This fact animated the associa-
ton as well as a lively and sincere
desire to keep the auto racing game
clean.
No cars under the control of the
Automobile Dealers association will
be entered in any Sunday meets, and
llis fact will probably be death
blow to such events, for enough pri-
Vate entries cannot be secured to
make a meet a success. This action
on the part of the directors of the as
ISOLATION was not unexpected, as
many of the local dealers have been
strongly opposed to Sunday meets
ever since they were inaugurated in
this vicinity.

The endurance run for the cup Of
fered for the Lakeport contest will
be held over again. At meeting of
the directors of the Automobile Deal
ers' association it was decided to al
low all of the cars which were in the
run to again compete for the trophy.
This action ends the dispute between
the White and Stevens-Duryea, which
were given perfect scores, but whose
owners refused to toss for the cup.
All of the cars have been allowed to
enter again on account of the gen
eral misunderstanding which pre-
vailed in regard to the Petaluma con-
troll.
