ing from Philadelphia. where they have
been getting into condition for the COM
ing season. and will play their first ex-
hibition game here Saturday with the
Baltimore Union League team
The bad weather of the past week had
delayed the work at the new park and as
the diamond is not in shape for a game
1t was decided to postpone the games
scheduled for this afternoon and tomor-
row. From the reports given out it will
seem that the local club owners have
picked up several promising youngsters
who will go far to make up a fast aggre-
cation for this city.
The seating arrangements at the new
park provide for three classes. Admis-
sion to the grandstand will be so cents
the bdeachers. 25. and a boys gallery
which will give the youngsters chance
to see the games for 10 cents.
Manager Irwin may arrange a game
with the University of Pennsylvania
team. to be played here some time during
the week of April 20. Penn plays George
town here April p and 90. The Quakers
meet Virginia at Charlottesville the fol-

WOMEN CHAMPIONS
LOSE AT TENNIS

NEW YORK, April 16-There was a
surprising result In the invitation tennis
matches yesterday at the ST. Nicholas
rink, when two women who have been
holders Of the national championship both
indoors and outdoors were defeated by a
pair Of young racquet experts whom most
that follow the game closely would never
pick to accomplish the feat. The Misses
Edna and Nathalie Wildey OF Plainfield,
n. j., were the girls to perform the I'M
expected deed. and the crack players who
fell before their prowess were Mrs Will
liam H. Pouch and Miss Elizabeth Fl.
Moore. The match was won in straight
sets by score of 6--i and SIS.
One of the features of the contest was
the fact that the champion players were
at no stage in the lead, and the younger
girls held the whip hand from the first
serve over the net At times Mrs. Pouch
and Miss Moore drew up on even terms
with the New Jersey girls, but they al
ways found it impossible to draw ahead
Miss Nathalie Wildey showed remark
ably good form close to the net, where
she smashed for kills in a style that
brought her round after round of ap-
plause from the boxholders. Her sister,
Miss Edna Wildey, supported her partner
beautifully in the back court, and at all
times was very steady and sure of her
shots.
In each set the New Jersey girls OBJ
tanned an early lead. and then fell off a
trifie. looking as though they were going
to succumb to the more experienced play
ers, but a timely rally always brought
them out of difficulties
In the morning there was a three set
practice match in mems doubles between
Malcolm d. Whitman and Edgar Leonard
and Theodore r. Pell and Raymond D.
Little. Today W. A Larned and George
s. Wrenn will meet Malcolm D. Whitman
and Edgar Leonard in a regularly sched-
uled contest

The en-Hueston game was a heart
breaker. as the crowd was with Allen
and did not figure him a chance to win
after the ninth frame He started like
sure winner by holing forty-four balls
in the first three frames. and as Hueston
scratched the boy secured a lead OF
forty-four. to which he added eight in the
next frame before Hueston got going.
The latter holed the last seven balls in
that frame and at the end of the eleventh
frame he had a lead of twenty-one
Allen then took a squirt and in the next

Gould Is Without a Peer.

NEW YORK. April 16.-Eustace H.
Miles and Peter Latham, the British anna
teur and professional court tennis play
ers, sailed for England yesterday on the
Cunard line steamship Lusitania. Miles
came over to play Jay Gould for the anna
teur court tennis championship of the

During their stay In this country Miles
and Latham played a series of exhibition
matches at Tuxedo, Philadelphia, Boston.
New York, Roslyn and Myopia: Latham s
principal match was against George
Standing at the New York Racquet and
Tennis Club. which was won by the
Englishman by two straight sets.
Before leaving Miles said he was sur
prised at the Improvement of the Amer
lean amateurs since his last visit, eight
years ago. He had no complaint to ofrer
over his defeat by Gould. who, he ad-
mitted. was the greatest amateur player
in the world. but expressed the hope that
Gould would arrange to go to England
this year and defend his British title,
which would give Miles another chance
to try conclusions with him.

Letter to E. A. Carroll
Morristoson, N. j.


Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes; it teaches few
some things; it's a mighty slow school
though, that same experience.
Lots of people paint lead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise; they are wasting half
their money and fuss. They're so
sure they are wise, they die as they
live, paint-foolish. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and go by the price of a
gallon. They think one price is high,
and another is low; and they pay about
imddlil G. why don't they pay low ?
They know that milk isn't dear or
cheap by the price of quart; that the
milk has something to do with it,.
They don't buy "cheap" milk; but
they buy "cheap" paint and pay double.
Experience teaches them nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago lead-and-oil; exhausted that.
Then tried something else; il was bet
ter or worse. Then Devoe & Ray
nolds; it cost about half and wore
twice as long. That's how experience
teaches some of US.
Yours truly
