BRITISH TENNIS
 EXPERTS IN PLAY

Boston, September 17.-While Great Bri- tain and the United States broke even in the two matches today in the interna- tional lawn tennis tournament the visitors showed the stronger team, for M. J. c. Ritchie of London put out Beals c. Wright of Boston with greater ease than William A. Barned of Summit, N. d., de- feated John G. Parke of Dublin. Both matches were straight set affairs, Ritehie defeating Wright 6-1. 6-3, 6-2, and Larned overcoming Parke 6-S, 6-S, 7-5. Ritchie scored 90 points to 61 for Wright, while Larned played 11S strokes to Ss for Parke.
 Nearly 5000 spectators saw the two matches, but the brilliancy of the Larned- Parke affair held the greatest attention. Larned played the steady but beautifully varied game. which carried him to vic- tory at Newport last month, and while Parke, by cool, clever work in the back court broke through the service of the American player twice and carried 10 of the 30 games to deuce, he could not get by the stone wall defense at the net, , TOT handle cleanly the hard driven balls
 
 plays to 63 by Larned, while the Amer ican carried over S5 finely placed shots to 9 for the Irishman.
 In the last set Park had Larned 4-2 and 5-4, but the American champion ral- lied and took the next three games and the match.
 Meantime Wright was playing a losing game with Ritchie if he ran in, the Englishman passed him easily at the net, while if he hung back Ritchie drove the ball far out of his reach. Ritehie showed clever adaptability to the American game by killing many of Wrights Jobs ani playing little of the same game himself. As a rule, however his work was much of the same character as that of Parke, low drives over the net, well placed and carefully judged in speed.
 Tomorrow the visitors will meet the American champions, H. H. Hackett and r. B. Alexander. in the only doubles event of the series.

NEGROES PROTEST
 OVER JIM CROW LAW

Atlanta, September Flour bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church appeared before special agent J. Edgar Smith of the interstate commerce commission here today in support of a claim of discrimination against the col ored race on certain railroads in the south and. with the request that equal accommodations be given the same to all people. The bishops were w. J. Gains, Henry M Turner of Atlanta, Evans Ty- rec of Nashville and E. W. Hampton of Washington. Discrimination was alleged against the Seaboard, Richmond, Fred ericksburg and Potomac; Southern, Cen tral of Georgia railroads, and the Pull man Car company.
 For the defense a dozen prominent rail- road men appeared, including General Passenger Agent Ryan Of the Seaboard; General Passenger Agent Tayloe of the Southern, and General Superintendent Martin of the Southern.
 The hearing was adjourned after few minutes session this morning until late afternoon.
 The burden of the protest is that the Pullman company will not admit negroes in their cars, that the railroads force negroes into separate compartments, where indiscriminate negroes who smoke, drink and curse are allowed. The rail- roads filed answer denying practically all the charges and alleging that each southern state requires separate cars for the races and they are simply obey ing the law. 5
 At the afternoon hearing Bishops Gaines and Turner of Atlanta, and Bishop Smith of Detroit, were examined. Their testimony was to the effect that while the negro pays the same price for a ticket as a white passenger he is given wholly inferior accommodations.
 The hearing will be continued tomor- row.
